of the diet today entered upon the busi-
ness for which it was called. NJ Kat
sura, the premier and NJ. Komura, the
minister of foreign affairs. addressed
the House. The premier said the diet
had been summoned at an unparalleled
moment in the annals of the country.
The maintenance of permanent peace
in the far east and respect for the
legitimate right OF the powers was, he
said. the established national policy of
japan.
Continuing the Premier said:
Russia not only failed to meet the
japanese proposals but defiantly re-
sorted to actions calculated to injure
the national rights of Japan. and Japan
was compelled. in self-defense, to ter
inmate the Negotiations and take inde-
pendent action
Mr.. Komura. the minister for foreign
affairs said he was confident the word
would recognize the Justice and pa
tience uniformly exercised by Japan in
carrying forward the negotiations with
Russia The minister said he was
anxiously desirous of peace, being
mindful of the woeful consequences

respondent of the Novi Krai. of Port
Arthur. who is proceeding to the Yafu
river, writes that he saw crowds of
Chinese coolies throwing up earth
works on the frowing impregnable
heights at Gin Chou (north of Port
Dalny). This shows that the Russians
are determined to resist the japanese
attempt to land on the neck of the
Lao Tung penincula- The correspond
ent adds that the Chinese officials
who had invariably made official calls
on the occasions of the Russian and
Chinese new year failed to do SO this
year, believing that the japanese are
going to drive out the Russians. They
take a different view now, however,
owing to the failure of the japanese
to rush things as evidenced by the
fact that all the native hack drivers
are carrying Russian flags.

Idaho Lands rhrown open.

Boise, Idaho, Oct. 20.--one hun1ret
thousand acres Of public lands IL
southern Idaho were opened for pub
lie entry today by the state land
board The tract is on the south side
OF the Snake river, in Cassia county
land embraces some of the richest and
most productive lands in the state
The water for irrisating the land is
derived from the Jnake RIVER and is
provided In a sufficient abundance to
cover the entire tract with one foot
OF water a month, which is easily
twice as much as will be needed. A
dam has been built in the river at
the head Of the great canyon which
raises the water about fifty feet
above It's natural level. BY this
means the water is diverted into a.
huge canal which carries the water
at the highest possible level vast
ward seventy miles, distributing III
all along the way into laterals that
reach every part of the vast tract.
The entire area OF lands under the
canal is 271 900 acres. Forty thous-
and acres have been opened up and
taken up by settlers. Owing to the
demand for the lands opened up to
day II Is probable that the state
board will decide upon an early date
for opening the remainder OF the
tract irrigated by the canal. The IT.
rigation scehme Is the largest ever
carried TO successful conclusion in
America. the cost OF the dam and
canals amounted to S2,500,0OO. The
is very mild in winter and is
adapted to the raising of ali kinds of
grain, vegetables and fruits that may
be raised in the northern states.
The cost of the land under this
canal is so cents an acre to the state
and s25 an acre for the perpetual
water right. The payments may be
made as follows: 25 cents an acre
o the state on making application,
md 50 an acre for water for the first
wo seasons. The second payment
If % cents an acre to the state may
'e male at any time within three
ears upon taking title to the land.
Nhe subsequent payments for the
water rights are the same as com
monty paid for annual rentals in
'ther districts, namely So an acre at
he end Of the second season and |
ach following year to the end of the ,
ighth year when there will be two {
nnual payments of SO each and

Future of the Party Will Be Considered

An important conference Of the Pop

called for Fergus Falls for June 10.
The leaders of the party in that coun-
ty, which has long been noted for the
strength of the Peoples party. will
consider the future of the party in the
county and state at the Fergus Falls
meeting, and, it is possible, will make
some suggestions to the Peoples party
state central committee.
There are several county officers Of

lists, and they must soon decide
whether they are to be candidates for
reelection as Populists, Democrats or
as Independents.

MUST CLOSE RAzORS
BARRIERS Union on Trail of
Sunday Shavers

Fines of $5 each were paid by four
st. Paul BARRIERS yesterday who plead
ed guilty to shaving on Sunday, an act
contrary to the laws of the state and
not sanctioned by the BARRIERS union.
The men who contributed were George
Gundlach, George Krumeck, S. L. Per-
kins and Henry Meyers, all of whom
were arrested early in the week at
the instance of S. Y. Yates, represent
ing the BARRIERS union.
After being arrested the men were
taken before Justice Lorenzo Hoyt, out
in Rosetown, and when arraigned last
Wednesday each entered a plea of not
guilty, and the cases were continued
until Monday. Yesterday, however, the
four men decided to change their pleas
to that of guilty, and each one was as
sessed $5.
1t was stated that the BARRIERS were
taken before country justice because
it has been customary to fine them
but 81 when arraigned in police court,
and the union desires to put a stop to
the practice of Sunday shaving. The
arrest of these men is said to be but
the beginning of a crusade against
Sunday work to be inaugurated by the
union. 1t was said yesterday that 4
number Of detectives had been en-
ployed to keep lookout for violations
of the Sunday shaving law, and all
persons found working on Sunday are
to be arrested.

MURPHY WILL MAKE
FIGHT IN CONVENTION
North Dakota Political Leader
Refuses to Be Crushed by
Hansbrough

Maj. ]. S. Murphy, the Minot, N. D..
political leader whose delegation was
refused seat in the North Dakota
state delegate convention held at Far
go last month, is at the Merchants, and
makes the declaration that he will
carry his fight into the state nominat-
ing convention.
Maj Murphy was accompanied to st.
Paul yesterday by several of his polit-
lcal friends from North Dakota, and
Joseph A. Roach, who headed the dele
cation that was seated by the conven-
tlon, with a number of his political
supporters, was also at the St. Paul
hotel The fact of the presence of the
TWO rival factions in ST. Paul led to
reports that the state leaders were
trying ito patch up a truce between
tnem' but there was very little min
gIlng of the combatants about the ho-
tel, and one man said he doubted if
they could get together.
MAJ. Murphy did not deny that he
lntends to take his fight for reoogni-
tlon before the nominating convention,
Whlch IS scheduled to meet at Grand
FORKS July 20. He refused to divulge
MS plan of campaign, but said:
one knockout will not keep a North
Dakota politician long on his back. We
were entitled by every rule of political
control to seats in the convention, and,
furthermore, we have not only the
VOTES behind US, but the law as well.
we nave a mine to explode under the
other Fellows, but we are not telling
Jus oo location to the public. We had
80 or the LAG delegates in the Ward
county convention, and, seeing that
they were beaten, the so-called Roach
Iactlon bolted the hall and held a rump
convention, the delegates from which
were afterwards seated by the Fargo
convention. We don't propose to lie
down peacefully, but will carry our
lgnt INTO the next state convention and
will win.''
Hansbrouqh Against Murphy
Senator w. T. Smith, of Kenmare,
who is a strong supporter of Murphy
IN his light, and who is also in st.
Paul, said:
THE fight is a fight by Senator
Hansbrough against Murphy. The
Devils Lake senator is afraid of Muir
ply as possible future competitor
and is determined to kill him off before
ne becomes too prominent Roach.
who headed the delegation seated by
the men in control of the Fargo con-
Ventlon, was until just half an hour
prior to the holding of the Ward coun-
ty convention chairman of the Demo-
cratic central committee OF the county,
but he changed his politics in the
meanwhile and won out in the bolting
convention. Anybody who knows
North Dakota politics will not believe
for a moment that Maj Murphy and
his friends are going to quit with one
defeat, and we will be at the Grand
Forks convention prepared to prove
our right to seats, and it is even money
that We get them"
E. L. Sutton, prominent young at
torney of Minot, accompanied the Muir
ply delegation to St. Paul Among the
Roach -Hansbrough partisans in town
is Alfred Blaisdell, United States
commissioner at Minot, and a pros
pective candidate for the Republican
nomination for judge of his district.
