Taft's Views on Japan.

New York.-The feeling of the Jap
anese toward western beliefs and Gus
toms has not been changed as result
of the recent war with Russia, but it
stiU tends toward western beliefs and
civilization. This opinion was ex-
pressed by Secretary of War Taft, who
recently returned from an official tour
of the Orient, in an interview which
will appear in the next issue of the
Churchman.
The secretary says that as a result
Of the war just concluded the immedi-
ate economic outlook is one of high
prices, lots of work and apparent pros
perity. He believes that the present
era of prosperity may be followed after
some years by the same sort of depres
sion the United States had after war
In view OF the Industrious inclinations
Of the japanese, however, he looks for
them to meet their obligations with
comparative ease.
Aside from the fact that America will
bentit from continued peace in the Ori-
ent. he cannot see that this country
will be affected in any way by the new
1.nglo-Japanese treaty. Nor does he
fear that the Japanese look toward the
Philippines with any desire for acqui-
sition. He is sure, he says, that all the
Japanese desire is that America shall
maintain or secure strong and peace.

sTockMEN COMBINE.
Executive Committees Of Rival Asso-
Citations Agree to Unite.

Denver.-Pressing desire for reform
measures was responsible Saturday Tor
bringing the two executive committees
of the stockmen's associations to a
basis of harmony. The success of fu-
ture efforts for bringing the desired
changes about seemed to depend so
entirely upon the consolidation, that
personal differences and conflicting
theories were laid aside for the COM
mon good.
The agreement at this time is due to
the persistent efforts of President
Hagenbarth of the national association
to restore harmony. To accomplish
this he conceded everything, making
1t victory for the American Stock
Growers Association. 1t was the only
way to bring peace, as the cattlemen
of the West refused to countenance the
packing interests on their executive
committee, SO the packers had to go.
The railroad interests had been shut
out previously, and these interests will
now be dealt with from without the Or
ganization, rather than within it.
Following is the full text Of the
agreement, signed by the executive of
flcers of each organization:
"First-The membership to consist
Of live stock producing and maturing
interests of the country.
"Second-The constitution and by
laws of the American Stock Growers
Association, modified so as to admit
to membership associations of live
stock producers, as well as individuals,
to be made the basis.
"Third-One strong central commit
tee, appointed by the association thus
formed, to carry on the business of the
association.
'Fourth-The association to coop
crate with all allied interests through
such subcommittee as may be ap-
pointed by the executive committee,
whenever and wherever the interests
of said association and such allied in
terests are mutual.
"Fifth-The objects Of the organiza'
tion thus formed will be, to represent
the live stock interests in all matters
Of general and public Importance, and
to conserve the interests, protect the
rights and to redress the wrongs OF
each and all of it's members.

NEWSPAPER NOTICES
Paid for by Mutual Life Insurance
Company.

New York.-At Il session of the legis-
lative committee investigating the in
surance companies, the affairs of the
Mutual Life Insurance Company were
under consideration, and it was
brought out that this company was
paying for the dissemination through
out the country of reports of this in
vestigation that We're favorable to the
company. Charles j. Smith, a news
paper man, was the witness. He is EN-
ployed by the Mutual Life Insurance
Company to do large number OF
things, but month ago was placed in
charge of sending out these reports.
Mr.. Smith had vised a number of
vouchers for the payment of this work,
and these aggregated $1,000, with
amount to date would reach $4,000.
Mr. Smith wrote these reports and
submitted them to Allan Forman, who
owns the telegraphic news bureau, and
81 line was paid by the Mutual Life
for the service. Clippings from va
rious papers about the country were
shown to the witness and identified as
the dispatches he wrote and sent to Mr.
Forman. These were sent to about 100
papers, but Mr.. Smith did not know
whether the papers were paid for in.

Smith wrote that Mr.. McCurdy's atti
tude on the stand made distinctly
favorable impression, and for this he
had to pay 81 line. This he said was

COLLEGE BARBARIANS.
Two Hundred Dental Students Resist
Chicago Police.

Chicago.-Twenty-fiv policemen and
200 students of the Chicago College Of
Dental Surgery engaged in fierce
fight Wednesday afternoon, and before
order had been restored, fifteen of the
students had been arrested. At one
point during the fight the police were
forced to fire shots over the heads of
the students to scare them back. The
freshmen and junior classes of the in
stitution met in their annual class rush
to-day and the battle became so des-
perate that riot call was sent in to
the two police stations in the vicin-
ity.
When the police arrived on the scene.
the battle between the students had
been in progress for half an hour and
had blocked all the street car and
wagon traffic is nearby streets. The
students who were in the thick of the
fight Joined forces as soon as they saw
the approach Of the patrol wagons and
the bluecoats were pelted on all sides
with stones and vegetables, while water
was poured on them by students from
the upper floors of the college. After
this state of affairs had been going on
for some time and the police were get
ting decidedly the worst of the battle.
the bluecoats drew their revolvers and
fired several shots.
This brought the students to their
senses and they ran in all directions,
but the police succeeded in making fif-
teen captures. All the students bore
signs Of the conflict in their rent gar
ments, and number of them suffered
severe cuts about their heads and
faces from the punishment admins

has been begun by the faculty, and the

Will Investigate Itself.

New York-Almost as startling as
the testimony before the Legislative
committee investigating the methods
of insurance companies on Wednesday
was the announcement of President
McCurdy of the Mutual Life Insurance
Company, that committee of the
board Of trustees of his company had
been appointed to investigate the COM
pany and its methods. The members
OF the committee are William H.
Truesdale, Efiingham b. Morris and
John w. Auchincloss, all prominent in
the financial and business world. The
action was taken at a meeting of the
board to-day and was the result Of the
insurance investigation. The matter
was brought before the board by Pres
idelt McCurdy and the committee
will begin work at once.

Radaloff had no idea of the con-
tents of the letter. But when Ida
had finished reading it he gave the
waiting" signal, and in response
to the single stroke of the bell enter
ed the office to meet the Countess
Karsicheff, with the result already
described. In vain he attempted to
explain to the countess that ne
found Ida prisoner. she having
been captured in the Nihilist rem
,deZvous, but the naughty and insult
ing manner in which he had been In
'terrupted each time he began his eX-
plantation, had prevented him from
giving that important information.
Thus it was when Ida entered her
presence the countess knew nothing
of her arrest.
The two women stood face to face
alone. Each measured the other
with a glance, and as their eyes met
there was exchanged look which
meant that henceforth and forever
these two were enemies to the death.
For the moment, however, the feel
ing that controlled Ida Barosky was
one of deepest love for the eXlled
father whom she was to clasp to her
heart after the long and bitter years
or separation. She cast an anxious
glance at the countess, who stood re-
garding her with a feeling of bitter
est hate. Katherine saw before her
her deadliest foe. 1t was to this girl
she owed all the humiliation she had
felt, all the deep disappointment in
store for her if Alexis marriage to
Olga should not take place.
My father-he is here?" said Ida,
land | shall see him? l shall see him
once again?"
That depends upon yourself.
Katherine spoke these words, look
ing at Ida. There was something in
the tone and in the look that placed
Ida instantly on her guard. She felt.
she knew not why, that she was to be
made the victim of cruel lie. With
an effort she suppressed her feelings
and said: 81 do not understand you,
madame"
81 am the Countess Katherine Kar-
sicheff, wife of the minister of police.
and it was by my suggestion and at
my desire that your father has been
brought here to receive his pardon. y

The question annoyed katherine.

picions became stronger.

pause. at is sufficient for you when

Want Curfew Law.

City Marshal Walter Spears
soon after his installation into
office advocated the passage of a
curfew law. 1t was not seen fit
to pass it then and some opposi-
tion would doubtless arise to it's
passage now.
A Press representative was told
by Mr.. Spears II few days ago that
such a law was badly needed,
His suggestion was endorsed by
Sheriff Mcconnell who happened
to be passing along about that
time and was rung in for an
opinion,
Mr.. Spears calls attention to
the number of burglaries commit
ted IN the last few months, many
of which are traceable to boys.
He saws these boys ought to be
kept at home nights and that a
curfew law would do it. He has
many other reasons for believing
in the potency of such a law,
some of which will be reviewed in
these columns in future issues.

These gentlemen are all worthy
