JAPANESE SAY ISLAND is
UNDOUBTEDLY THEIRS.

TOXIC, Japan, July %. via Victoria, B.
c., Aug. 6.-The rival claims of America
and Japan TO this speck in the ocean have
made a considera BILE stir in Japan. The
ownership Of Marcus Island, called Mi
namitori Shima here. was tangibly estab-
lished by the following announcement is
sued under instructions from the home
Office under date OF July 10. 1898:
No. 55 notification Of Tokio-Fu.
AN island situated at the latitude 24.14
n. and longitude 154 Z. shall be called
here with Minamitori Shima and inclu-
ded as one Of the Bonan group. and shall
be under the administration OF Togio-F'u.
"Signed)
''KOYESLUKA RYO,
Governor Of Toxic Flu"
July "A. the S1st year OF Neoji QS9S.
The origin of the actual ownership
claimed by the Japanese is rather diff
cult, however, TO trace.
There is evidence that the Americans
occupied the island before the Japanese
but they are said to have abandoned 1t.
The island is not particularly rich, the
entire revenue from fishing, hunting, etc,
being placed at about $4,000 annually, but
the question Is looked upon as being m
teresting automatically.

ferences between the operators and the
strikers. Is particularly pleased with the

tlement. Mr.. Mitchell, when asked, ap-
peared to be sure that he had not, and
other officials of the union were also un-
certain Of Mr.. Wright's status The mat
ter of the term of years that the agree
ment shall be in force was also a source of
much inquiry.
The union strongly opposed to the
operators fixing the term of years One
district president said this feature had
been left TO the discretion OF the commits
sion as suggested in Mr. Mitchelrs propo-
sition. while other officials said they knew
nothing about IT, President Mitchell for
some reason did not care to- discuss any
feature OF the arbitration agreement while
the matter was still in the hands of the
miners.
II the plans Of the strike leaders are not
disarranged a general resumption of min
ing will take place about next Thursday.
1t is expected the convention will last two
days and that there will be interval Of
one day from the time the convention ad
journs until the time set for the men to
go back to the mines. If the convention
should be In session on Wednesday. 1t is
probable resumption would not take place
until Friday.
1t was lively day around strike head
quarters. From early in the morning until
after the announcement was made that a
convention would be called a crowd was
congregated at the place. Mr.. Mitchell
spent an extremely busy day. In the morn
ing he had many callers who came to con-
graduate him, and In the afternoon he was
engaged with the three district boards.
kilograms of congratulation from all parts
OF the country came to the leader of the
miners during the day.
The coal companies, anticipating the end
ing of the strike next week, are busily en-
gagged in preparing for resumption. Tens
of thousands of coal ears are In the re-
gions ready for loading and extra efforts
will be made In moving them to the large
distributing centers once mining Is re-
sumed. 1t Is estimated that more than zoo
of the $50 colleries will be in operation by
the end Of next week and will produce
enough coal to relieve the situation. An
authority In coal mining said to-day that
the coal companies, as a result OF the
strike. thirty millions Of tons behind.
President Mitchell has notified President
Roosevelt of the action of the three execu-
tive boards. He will not give out the text
OF the message.
