To Talk Over Department Scandals

Oyster Bay, July 3I.---Secretary Viii
son of the department of agriculture is
expected at Sycamore Hill. His visit
will enable him and the president to
discuss the situation in the department
as it relates to the investigation now in
progress. All rtinlors of the intention
of Secretary Wilson to resign from the
cabinet may be put aside as merely con-
Jectlral. The secretary has no present
intention of leaving the cabinet, and
the president knows Of no reason why
he should resign
The president, it may be said, reposcs
implicit confidence i'm Secretary Wilson,
and is thoroughly satisfied that he will
solve. the difficulties now presented, to
the entire satisfaction of the chief ex-
5ectitive and of the country. 1t is proba-
BILE that Secretary Wilson would have
come to Oyster Bay before this hid ii
not been for the unsettled condition in
his department, which rendered il prac-
tically. impossible for him to leave
Washington. He lis pressing every phase
tof the Investigations now in progress,
and will develop every fact which the
country ought to know. That the presi-s
dent is confident that The secretary will
purge the department of every scandal
that may attach to ii, Is evidenced By
the fact that he is not interfering with
the matters before il. All matters
brought to his attention have been t,iril-
ed over to Secretary Wilson with I'M
sfructions 10 inquire into Them. This
the secretary has done, and his work has
the approval Of the president. II is the
determination Of both the president and
Secretary Wilson to clear the depart
nent Of agriculture Of every form of
grafters. To this end the likelihood is
that every bureau Of the department
will be inquired into carefully with a
view to ascertaining whether any such
condition exists ais was developed iii the
bnreau Of statistics Quietly but efTec-
lively, Secretary Wilson has been work
ing to this end for many months. Many.
employees Of the department have been
dropped from the rolls, practically with
out iIIe knowledge of the general pub
lie. Some have been dismissed ouf4
right, while others have been permitted
to resign Assurance is given that no
stone will be left unturned to eliminate
every faint Of scandal iii the department

COREA WANTS TO BE
CONSIDERED BY COMMISSION

New York, July 3T--Baron Komura,
the Japanese peace plenopotentiary, and
Baron Kaneko, the Japanese financial
agent, both of whom are Harvard grad
uates, went to Peekskill Sunday where
they visited some friends of their col
lege days.
Work at the headquarters Of the
peace commission was not entirely sus-
pended, however, as several of the sec
retaries continued their labors with
the dispatches and mail Some of the
suite spent the day at the various resorts
near the city, while others visited
friends. y
Dispatches announcing that Corea,
like China, would protest against a
treaty of peace in which she was not
consulted, were called to the attention
of Aimar Sato, of the commission, and
all he would say was that the time for
any of these protests to be made was
when the negotiations were concluded
mo one,' he said, has any business
before the commission but themselves"
A number of Japanese newspaper cor
respondents are in the city. Several
came with Baron Komura's party.
Among those in the city, it is the de-
cided opinion that when peace is de-
clared, Japan, having become world
power, will elevate her ministeries in
the capitals of the powers, to embassies.
All agreed that it was the understanding
in Japan that If peace is declared at the
coming negotiations, Baron Komura
would become a connt, which carries
