HEARsT's BILL $4,000.
Cost Him that Much to Entertain
Friends at St. Louis,

st. Louis, July 14-That it costs
money to make race for the presi-
dental nomination William R. Hearst
will realize when he receives his bill
from the Jefferson hotel in day or
two. Mr.. Hearst engaged two floors
and half at this hotel, for which he
must pay $4,000. The rooms were
occupied by his managers and friendly
delegations for five days, which makes
the cost something over $4,000 day.
Mr.. Hearst received about 200 votes
in the convention. His total. cam.
paign is said to have cost about $780,.
000
1t is doubtful if Mr.. Belmont and
other Parker boomers expended more
than one-half what Mr.. Hearst did for
hotel accommodations. The New
Workers, however, are said to have
been free spenders while here. The
quarters at the Planters cost the
Parker combine over $1,000 day and
the cost for headquarters at the
Southern was equally as great.
The Wall boomers probably cut that
down another half, although there
were a couple of hundred of them in
the city. The expense account of the
other candidates probably will be
nothing. Their friends are said to
have paid all necessary expenses.

This, he pointed out. would prejudice
the sovereign integrity of Korea, which
had already been guaranteed by the
Anglo-Japanese treaty
The charge d d'affaires. referring TO the
opening of Wiju and on-Gam-Pho, said
he had reason to believe that the ne
gotiations would terminate favorably.

would be decided on at an early date.
He said ne did not believe there would
be var between Russia and Japan. At
