CHINA MAY DEMAND
ADMISSION OF COOLIES

Washington. July 2S.-Some doubt
is expressed in official circles wheth-
Err it will be possible to obtain China's
consent to another treaty with the
United States providing for even the
exclusion of Chinese laborers from
this country. The state department
is aware of ill-feeling throughout
China on the whole subject and now
that the immigration treaty with
China has been allowed to lapse with
out the negotiation of new agree
ment, reports have reached here that
China is inclined hereafter to refuse
to sign any similar convention.
Chna's position appears to be that the
exclusion of Chinese citizens from a
friendly country is in itself disgrace
and While she cannot ignore the laws
OF foreign lower providing for such
exclusion, she can refuse TO sanction
it or become part of it by concluding
treaty involving such restrictions.
A year ago, it is said, it would have
been easy to conduct negotiations with
China for the exclusion of Chinese
laborers only. Now, however, it is
understood, the Chinese officials are
disposed to regard the signing of
such treaty beneath the dignity of
their government. The reason for
the assumption at Pekin or this new
attitude is not quite clear to the Of
fcials here, though in some circles it
is attributed to the influence of for
eign powers.

SWEDISH CABINET
IS DISSOLVED.
Failure to Recognize Norway
is the Cause Of
Fracture.
WOULD DICTATE TO NORWAY
Disagreement On the Terms OF Ple-
biscite-Sweden Wants Agreement
Whereby No Act OF Norway Will
Be Shouldered.

Stockholm, July 26-As the result
of a heated argument in the riksdag
yesterday the cabinet has resigned.
Stockholm, Sweden, July 26.-The
special committee appointed by TIE
riksdag to deal with the crisis which
created the revolution in Norway, yes
terday delivered it's report. The com
mittee declares unanimously that the
government bill cannot be adopted
in the form in which it was represent
ed to the riksdag, and proposed that
the riksday shall signify its Willingness
to negotiate with Norway for a disso-
luton of the union if the newly elected
strothing requests repeal OF the act
of union and dissolution of the I'M
ion, or if such request is received
from Norway, after the Norwegian
people, by plebiscite have declared
in favor of dissolution of the union.
The committee recommends that in
the event of dissolution of the union
Sweden should insist on the following
terms:
First-the establishment of a zone
on each side of the frontier separat-
ing the Kingdoms within which the ex-
listing Notifications shall be RACED and
new Notifications may not be erected.
Second-The right of pasturing
reindeer belonging to the Swedish
Laplanders in north Norway.
Third-That the transit trade
through both countries shall be secur-
ed against unjustifiable obstruction.
Fourth-That the status of Sweden
in respect to foreign powers as es-
tabliShed by treaty. shall be clearly
defined so that Sweden shall be COM
pletely freed from responsibility for
Norway to other states.
The committee also regards an ar
bitration convention between Sweden
and Norway as desirable, although it
does not consider it an essential condi-
ton for the dissolution of the union.
The committee further proposes to
authorize the government to raise
loan of $25,000.000. which can by
resolution OF the riksdag be made
available for such readjustments and
arrangements as may be necessitated
by the new conditions.
Stockholm, Sweden, July 2S.-BOth
houses of the S!;edish parliament yes
terday approved the report of the
special committee appointed by parli-
ament to deal with the crisis between
Norway and Sweden. In the first
the report was adopted without de-
bate.

KAISER AND
GAR CONFER.
Emperor William Urges Mich
o|as to Secure
Peace.
POINTS OUT THE ADVANTAGES
Fears English. and French Alliance
Will Hurt - Meeting on Imperial
Yacht HohenzoIlern May Be Far
Reaching in Its Effect.

St. Petersburg, July 25.-The pic
turesque meeting between the Russian
and German emperors in the gulf OF
Finland, according to private advices
ended yesterday afternoon with gaia
luncheon on board the German imper-
ial yacht Hohenzollern, after which
Emperor Wililam's yacht sailed sea-
ward, escorted for a short distance
by the Russian imperial yacht Polar
Star. Then imperial salutes were ex-
changed and the Polar Star put about
and returned to Peterhof, where she
was due last night. A flOtilla OF tor
pedo boats, torpedo boat destroyers
and small cruisers lowered about the
imperial yachts from the time they
met until they parted Beyond the
additional fact that Emperor William
paid a visit to the Polar Star Sunday
night and that subsequently Emperor
Nicholas went on board the Hohen-
zollern and remained until long after
midnight in the German emperor's
cabin. no further details of the meet
ing are yet available.
The meeting of the two monarchs
naturally created intense interest in
diplomatic circles. In some quarters
there is disposition to attach the
deepest political significance to it,
and all sorts of theories are advanc-
ed. They are. however, largely spec
ulative.
1t is officially announced that the
visit was only visit of courtesy
made by Emperor William on his
brother monarch before leaving the
gulf of Bothnia. but under the cir
lieve that such meeting was devoid
of meaning to the worlds political
chesSbOard.
No matter what the ultimate re-
suit may be. however. all the diplo.
mats agree that it's first effect would
make for peace, as Emperor William
is known to be strongly of the opin.
ion that Emperor Nicholas should at
once conclude peace and set his house
in order
In diplomatic quarters not exactly
friendly to Germany there is a dispO'
sitiOn to snsre"t the German emper.
Or of trying to bring about an alliance
between Germany and Russia, not on.
Nv to block the attempt which Great
Britain is believed to be making to
isolate GERMANY through her under
standing with France and the latter
perhaps through an understanding
with Russia. but for the mutual pro-
lection of the monarchial system.
Emperor William is said to be fully
alive to the fact that the revolution
in Russia could easily be carried to
Germany, and it is reported that he
is anxious for that reason to see that
reforms are granted which will re.
store tranquility in the territory Of
his eastern neighbor.
An afternoon paper quotes a signi-
ficant editorial in the semi-officiaI
Berlin Post. flirting that France has
grown cold towards Russia, that the
Russo-Frcnch alliance is on the eve
Of dissolution. and that thera is an
increasing feeling in Russia in favor
of concluding an alliance with Ger
many even at the cost of great sac
rifices.

SCORES DIE
IN EXPLOSION
u. S. Gunboat Is Blown to
Pieces With Great
Loss of Life.
BODIES TERRIBLY MANGLED
Roar Of Thunder Accompanies a
Shock Which Tears Asunder the
Gunboat and Renders Lifeiess the
Pink Of American Seamen.

San Diego, Cal, July 22.-As a
result of frightful explosion of one
of the boilers on the United Statee
gunboat Bennington in San Diego
harbor shortly before noon yesterday,
twentyseven bodies are at the
morgues and between sixty AID sew
enty men are at the hospitals, many
of whom will die The total deaths
will probably be nearly sixty.
The warship was BADLY shattered, a
great hole being torn in her stern
and she has been beached to prevent
her sinking. The explosion is be-
lieved to have been boiler which
for many months has been regarded
as weak, though an inspection made
a year ago resulted in favorable re-
port. The ship was going up stream.
preparatory to towing the disabled
Wyoming to Mare Island. Every man
on board was either killed or serious
ly or slightly wounded.
At moment when the warship,
lying at anchor and with her officers
and crew quietly attending to their
duties on board, was the object OF in
terest to hundreds of people observ-
ing her piers, pleasure boats and pass
ing ferry boats, a cloud of steam sud
denly burst from point just forward
of the smokestack out of which the
spectators were Mortified to see bodies
and human fragments hurled high in
the air and scattered over the sur.
rounding water.
The outburst was accompanied by
roar as of thunder and shock that
rocked vessels nearby. In an instant
the air was filled with shrieks and
bellows of pain from the wounded,
which could be heard ashore. and with
flying fragments of human beings and
pieces of the ships superstructure.
The next moment bleeding sailors
were fighting, crippled in the water
against death in only less sudden
form than that from which they had
escaped, while row boats, sail boats.
launches and tugs were being driven
to the rescue as fast as arms, wind
and steam could carry them.
A ferry boat. which was passing
nearby, turned and fastened to rem
der assistance. her own deck crowd
ed with frightened men and women
who saw the havoc that had been
wrought in twinkling. A most hor-
rible sight met those who approached.
In the water, men with blackened
faces were struggling, handicapped
by injuries; others on deck were COW
cred with blood and CRIME, some
dead. some wounded frightfully, 9TH
ers working to rescue comrades who
were yet below either dead or dying.
The smaller boats turned their at
tention to those in the water, taking
them to the wharves as fast as a
few had been taken aboard the small
craft. At the wharves preparations
were speedily made for taking care
of the injured in what by this time
was seen to be disaster of awful
proportions. Ambulances were tele-
phoned for, every express wagon and
driver who could be reached by tele-
phone was summoned. physicians
were notified and hospitals informed.
Within half an hour from the time
of the explosion, carriages, buggies,
automobiles and street cars were
bearing burdens OF victims toward
the hospitals.

MITCHELL GETS
6 MONTHS TERM

Portland Ore, July 2G.-United
States Senator Mitchell. convicted Of
using his Office of United States sena.
tor to further the law practice of the
firm of Mitchell and Tanner, of this
city, was yesterday sentenced to pay
d fine of $1,000 and six months penal
servitude. Pending a review of the
case by the supreme court of the Uni.
ted States execution of the sentence
will be deferred. In the meantime
Mitchell will be placed under bail to
the amount of $4,000.
In pronouncing sentence upon the
aged United States senator, Judge De
Haven said:
''The statute under which indictment
was found provides that the offense
shall be punished by Imprisonment OF
not more than two years or by a fine
of not more than $4,000. 1t also rem
ders the defendant incapable of again
holding any office of trust or profit
in the United States. AS | construe
the language of the statute, the pun
ishment must be both fine and impris-
onment but the court is given great
latitude in fixing the amount Of fine
or Imprisonment. The court may
make the punishment merely nominal.
In pronouncing sentence it is not my
purpose to comment on the evidence
or the verdict found by the jury. In
reaching a conclusion in this case
have given consideration to the age
of the defendant, which may be taken
into account in mitigation of pun
ishment, and the further fact that he
is forever hereafter disqualified from
holding any office.
I'm view of these facts, and in con-
sideration Of the nature of the Of
tense, the judgment Of the court is
that the defendant be imprisoned for
six months in the county Jail of Null
tnomah county, in this state, and that
he be fined the sum of $1,000"

A Former Pronounced Dyspeptic He Now
Rejoices in Perfect Freedom from
Miseries of Indigestion.
Thousands of sufferers know that the
reason why they are irritable and de-
pressed and nervous and sleepless is be-
cause their food does not digest, but how
to get rid of the difficulty is the pnzzling
question.
Good digestion calls for strong diges-
dive organs, and strength comes from a
supply of good rich blood. For this
reason Mr.. Baysson took DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for the cure Of indigestion.
"They have been my best DOCTOR" he
says. II was suffering from dyspepsia.
The pains i'll my stomach after meals
we're almost unbearable. My sleep was
very irregular and my complexion was
sallow. AS the result Of using eight
boxes of DR.. Williams Pink Pills, about
the merits Of which I learned from
friends in France, have escaped all
these troubles, and am able again to take
pleasure in eating" a.."-
A very simple story, but if it had not
been for DR.. Williams Pink Pills it
might have been a tragic one. When dis
comfort begins with eating, fills up the
;ntervals between meals with pain, and
prevents sleep at night, there certainly
cannot be much pleasure in living. A
final general breaking down must be
merely question Of time.
Mr.. Joseph Baysson is q native of
Aix.les- Bains, France, but now resides
Mt No. 2439 Larkin street, San Francisco,
Cal. He is one Of a great number who
can testify to the remarkable efficacy Of
Dr.Williams' Pink Pills in the treatment
of obstinate disorders of the stomach.
