BIGGER Than THESUN
Lieut.. Schofie!d Sees Three
Wondrous Meteors.

WASHINGTON, D. g., March Sin
report to the navy department re-
ceived today Lieut. Frank III. Schofeld,
U. S. NJ, commanding the U. S. S..
Supply, from Guam for San francisco,
tells of the observance, on Feb. 8, in
latitude IS degrees So minutes north,
longitude 1913 degrees SO minutes west,
of three meteors, which, he says, ap-
peared near the horizon and below the
clouds, travelling in a group from
northwest by north directly toward the
Supply.
At first their. angular notion was
rapid and of a rather bright red. AS
they approached the ship they appeared
to soar above the clouds at an eleva-
ton Of 45 degrees. After rising above
the clouds their angular motion became
less and less until it ceased, when they
appeared to be moving directly away
from the earth at an elevation of
about rs degrees and in a direction
west-northwest. mi
The largest meteor had IAN apparent
area of six suns. 1t was egg-shaped
the sharper end forward. The second
and third meteors were round and
showed no imperfections in shape. The
second meteor was estimated to be
twice the size of the sun ia appearance.
and the third meteor about.the size of
the sun. 1t is estimated, the meteors
were mile above the ship. They were
observed by three persons and were in
sight two minutes. 90

Minneapolis Men.

E. L. Carpenter was elected by the lum-
bermen of the Mississippi valley to sue
coed r. L. Mccormick, of Tacoma, Wash,
as president of the association, which is
holding its thirteenth annual convention
In the West hotel in this city, yesterday.
The session was not a long one and the
evening, and most of the delegates from
out of town left for their homes on the
evening trains.
Eugene Shaw, of Eau Claire, was elect
ed first vice president John p. Weyer--

r. II. Weyerhaeuser, Cloquet.
The principal question before the con-
vention yesterday afternoon was that of
cash sales. All last year the members
of the Mississippi Valley association gave
IL per cent discount instead of per
cent in fifteen days, but all the year the

ISOLATION would go back to the per
cent basis.
The matter was thoroughly discussed
yesterday and finally turned over to
committee, but the lumbermen refused to
say how much power the committee will
have. 1t is probable that the matter will
be definitely settled by the committee,
however, and the members of the associa-
ton will adopt whatever is recommended.
The Wisconsin Valley association went
back to the 2 per cent basis, and its ac-
ton will probably influence the Missssip-
pi Valley committee to declare for the
change.
The price committee recommended an
advance of 81 thousand feet on No.
boards and an advance of so cents a
thousand on ten-inch No. 8 boards. Prac-
tically all members of the bureau of

Japan May Seek a Loan

TOKYO, March S.-The japanese
government, it is said. is considering
the advisability of seeking to secure
Immediately loan in America and
Europe. Although 1t is estimated that
enough bonds can be sold at home to
provide money to prosecute the war for
at least one year and half, and al
though many Japanese statesmen and
f1nanciers believe that Japan is capa-
BILE of waging war to conclusion with
out borrowing single cent abroad.
and have, In spirit of national pride,
scounseled that no foreign loan be
sought, yet it is felt that there may
arise in year or two a contingency
when money may be seriously needed.
It is thought that it would be better
to place loan now, If possible. rather
than attempt to do so in a future crisis
when money may be badly needed.

TOKYO, March S.--The forthcoming
visit of Marquis Ito as a special am
bassador from the emperor of Japan to
the emperor of Korea claims general
attention. 1t was originally planned to
send a prominent japanese to Seoul as
a permanent resident adviser to the
Korean government, and various names
were suggested. The announcement
that Marquis Ito is going is a surprise.
In official circles it is insisted that the
object Of Marquis Ito's visit to Korea
is not politically important.
1t is denied that the Japanese have
any new plan to execute. 1t is thought,
however, that Marquis Ito will make an
investigation on the general conditions
in Korea and formulate. possibly, some
recommendations that will be useful in
the adoption of a policy for the future.
