who swung off his great soft hat with
a flourish worthy of an ancient Cas-

Grafton of Hawaiian affairs occupied Presi-

today. He had as guest at luncheon and
during the greater part OF the afternoon
george r. Carter, the governor of Hawaii.
Governor Carter came to Oyster Bay de-
termined to resign his official position to
escape the annoyance to which he has been
subjected since he succeeded Sanford b.
Dole as governor. The president not only
declined to accept his resignation. but told
him to go back to Honolulu and he should
have the full support and sympathy of the
national government.
Governor Carter was in a much happier
frame of mind after his interview with
the president than he had been before. He.

YOKOHAMA, July $3.50 a.. m.-The
steamer Manchurla with Secretary of War
Taft and party on board arrived here at
O'Clock this morning.
TOXIC, July A-6:So p. m-The Hochi,
Count Okuma's newspaper organ, tomor-
row will publish leading article welcom-
ing the Taft party and gratefully recall
ing what the United States has been TO the
japanese since the time OF Commodore
Perry-an unerring guide and friend. The
policy of the United States toward Japan,
the article will say, has been an unbroken
record of kindly assistance politically and
commercially. In fact in all departments
of the progress OF modern Japan, Americas
help is clearly traceable. President Roose-
velt's successful endeavor in bringing the
peace plenipotentiaries together adds a
memorable chapter to the already magni-
ficent record of Americas invaluable aid
to Japan.
The paper regrets that the shortness of
the party's stay will not admit of an ad-
eauate manifestation of the general feel
ing OF gratitude and appreciation toward
the government and people TO which the
distinguished party belongs.
The Hochi leader is typical Of the feeling

TROUBLE MAY BE RENEWED
Chicago Employers Will Not Take
Back Any More TeRmsters Until
All Unions Declare strike on.

CHICAGO July 24.--At a mass meeting
of employers held this afternoon repre-
sentatives of over 200 business houses were
present. 1t was decided that no more
teamsters on strike would be reinstated
until all the unions involved have called
off the strike. After the meeting J. v.
Farwell, jr.. speaking for the employers
association. issued the following state
ment
Owing to the fact that the various local
teamsters' unions have refused to call on
the strike and permit their members to
return to work, by which action the team
sters are kept in state Of unrest and
their attitude toward their employers made
uncertain, the members Of the Employers
association have concluded not to employ
striking teamsters until the whole strike is
settled.
The action taken by the Employers as
sociation this afternoon may result in Civ
ing a new life t. the teamsters' strike As
soon the stand taken by the employers
had been made known to the unions a
special meeting Of the Transfers Joint
Council was called for tomorrow night to
consider ways and means of renewing the
fight should such course he decided upon.
The teamsters are in a belligerent mood
tonight and threats are freely made that
unless the employers recede from their
position there will be a general strike OF
all the union teamsters in Chicago. This
would mean the calling out of $500 men,
| whereas but 5000 were involved in the
strike which was recently declared at ar
end by the Teamsters' Joint Council.
A. j. Reed, formerly secretary of the
Teamsters' Joint Council, said tonight:
The decision of the employers will raise
every union teamster in Chicago to action
| but unless ! am greatly mistaken the EN-.
ployers will have a fight on their hands
/ that they never dreamed of. There Il
| plenty of fight left in the teamsters anC

than ever.
