WAR AND INDEMNITY.
Article Written by Eminant Japan
csc Sets Forth Japan's Position.
is War OF CAPRICE WITH RUSSIA.
''The sword OF Japan Ii Drawn and
the Aim for which II Was Un-
sheathed Has Scarcely -
Been Attained.

London, April S.--Baron Suyematsu,
formerly Japanese minister Of the in
terror, has written an interesting and
significant article for the Outlook un-
der the heading: war and Indemnity
the Japanese Claim" The whole trend
Of the article is intended to show that
Japan will carry on the war until Rus
STA consents to pay indemnity. The
baron says:
"A cannon of the Japanese Bushido
Is One should not unsheath the sword
unless one Is totally overcome or has
secured equitable satisfaction for ones
cause. This is our ideal in internation-
al intercourse. The sword of japan
Is drawn and the aim for which 1t was
unsheathed has scarcely been attained.
We want a peace which will secure
tranquility in the far east for at least
a generation or two.
"The world should know that in the
present war Japan staked her very ex-
lstance, whereas with the enemy il
was a mere war of caprice, When,
then. in case Of defeat should not Rus
STA be made responsible In equitable
accordance with the nature of the af-
fair? believe therefore that in case
of adversary asking for peace the stalls
faction which she will have to make to
Japan should include making good the
material loss Of Japan In other words,
indemnity" Japan has not formulate
ed definite terms Of peace, because she
might be accused Of skinning the bear
before It was shot : We have, however,
outlined our idea"
The article argues out the righteous
ness Of Japan's position in demanding
Indemnity as a basic condition and
controverts the idea which, he says,
he finds prevalent outside Of Jap
an. that Japan is willing to make
peace At any price Some say"
the baron continues. "that for human
lty's sake an armlstice should be con-
ciuded with a view to negotiating
peace Il Is all very wen to talk Of
humanity. but. no Injustice must Be
perpetrated IN the name Of humanity.
n a proposition arising out Of the
question Of humanity gives more ad-
vantage to one than another Ct the

long a time had been pricked. They
have seen that 1t was no use to sup
press Japan's aspiration by the com
bined force of western powers. Yet,
there seems floating in the air some
sort Of compassion for our adversary
This I deem an inconsistency arising
out Of some psychological instability"
Baron Suyematsu refers to the an
nouncement Of st. Petersburg early in
the war that an enormous indemnity
would be demanded and that the terms
would be dictated in Toxic. I'VE are
far from assuming such an attitude"
the writer says, "but We believe that
Justice ought to be done us. No mere
sentiment shall be allowed to decide
the merits Of the case"

PRESIDENT HUNTS WOLVES.
Was in the saddle EARLY and Finds
Good sport Chasing
Coyotes.

Frederick, Ok, April 11.s-The wolf
chase to which the president has been
eagerly looking forward to began early
Monday morning at Camp Roosevelt,
is miles southeast of here There are
about 40 dogs in the pack. The party
OF about a dozen. including President
Roosevelt and his doctor, had not trav-
eled far this morning until their dogs
were leading them on what turned out
to be a fresh scent. Soon the leaders
were rewarded by seeing in neigh
boring ravine lank grey wolf deliber-
ately sleeping as unmindful of Its pur-
suers. The dogs all seemed to catch
sight Of the prey at the same time for
horse and dogs now set forward with
renewed energy. The wolf sought to
elude its pursuers by lodging, but this
only hurried matters as It enabled the
foremost dogs to catch up with its
prey. The wolf turned to beat on its
assailant, other dogs sprang upon the
bristling animal and bore Il TO the
ground where 1t was quickly dispatch
ed without the aid Of the hunters
Two other wolves were killed In much
the same manner before the almost
direct rays Of the sun Indicated that II
was about time for the midday meal
The picked yeariing heifer from the
Woggoner herd, which was dressed
and taken to the camp, was much en-
loved BY the president and his fam
ished hunting party. BY one O'Clock
the members Of the party were again
in their saddles ready for another

! others not to trade with or work for
hany other person or corporation, or to
tpioket the place of business of any
other person or corporation for the
purpose of obstructing or interfering
with any lawful business work or en-.
terprise.
Another section OF the act makes 1t
unlawful to boycott or to publish any
notice of boycott against any firm
doing lawful business, or against
any judicial officer or other public
officer because Of any official act or
decision of such officer.
Still another section makes It I'M

The bill was introduced hUo the
Legislature by Theodore H. Thomas.
member of the House of Representa-
tives from Denver, and the author OF
a former anti-boycott law which was
repealed during the administration of
Governor Orman The bill Is closely
modelled after a similar act which was
passed several years ago in the state
OF Alabama and has been sconstrued
and upheld by several decisions of the
Alabama courts. The workings Of the
law in Alabama have been most salts
factory and have brought about
great change in removing from labor
Controversies much bitterness and vio-
lence. 1t is predicted by the persons
who were sponsors for the bill that it
will be a great step toward industrial
peace in Colorado and rapidly lead to
taple industrial conditions.

French Foreign Minister Remains.

Paris, April 23.-Yielding to the per
sOnal solicitations and representations
Of President Loubet and the leaders Of
the government that his retirement
would be a serious national peril at
his time, NJ. Delcasse yesterday ad-
yised Premier Bouvier that he would

ion as foreign minister. This was at-
Per strong assurances had been given
VI. Delcasse that the ministry was unit
ing with sympathy and support of his
foreign policy.
VI. Delcasse's staying in the Cabinet
Is expected to result in a firmcr atti-
rule toward Germany than has hereto
fore been shown. The foreign minis
tcT's policy has been to give Germany
adequate assurances that her interests
in Morocco would be treated the same
as those of the rest of the world, but
after making these approaches, he did
not desire to yield Frances entire pro
iect concerning Morocco at the dicta-
ion Of Germany.

Portland Exposition Board.

Denver. April Ex-Governor McDon-
aid has appointed as members OF the
Colorado commission for the Lewis a
Clark fair at Portland. Ore. Messrs.
A. w. Hogle Of Denver. E. Lyman
White of Denver and Eugene GruDb of
Carbondale.
In regard to the duties of the three
members. Governor Mcdonald has
made the request that Mr.. White, who
is the state commissioner of mines
shall have full charge OF the mining
part of the exhibit Mr.. Grubb. who
is one OF the most prominent stock
men in the state, will look after the
stock and agricultural portions of the
exhibit, and Colonel Hogle will have
charge OF all other details.
The commission will have $4,000 to
spend, which amount was appropriated
by the recent Legislature. While ordi-
narily this would not provide much of
an exhibit, it is deemed amply sufii-
cient in the present case. for the rea-
son that it is the intention of the COM
mission to use much of the Colorado
exhibit that was made at the st. Louis
Worlds Fair.
The commission met and organized
by appointing Colonel Hosle as com

Colorado's Big Storm.

Denver, April 25.-The storm of Sun,
day and Monday was felt throughout
many western and southern states, but
in no state was it as severe as it was
in Colorado. In Denver the storm dam
aged trees and shrubbery, delayed traf-
fc on street railroads and made the.
roads in parts of the city so impassablc'
that the Humane Society was forced to
issue orders that horses be not used
until some of the moisture had secped
away. Local telephone and telegraph
wires were tangled and broken by the
weight of heavy. clinging snow. and
electric communication in residenccS
and business houses was cut off.
The storm, which continued fiercely
all Easter day and night. made it diff
tcult to attend church services and
made the Easter bonnet droop its
proud plumage in disappointment.
Throughout the state, great damage
was done by the storm. Railroad traf
fc was DELAYED. Washouts were threat
ened and serious landslides occurred
on the Rio Grande in the ROYAL Gorge
and at other points on other lines.
Telephone communication was cut off
with Pueblo. Trinidad. Florence, Canon
City and Cripple Creek.
In Trinidad the storm spent its fierc-
est force. Much of the repair work on
ruins of the recent flood was again
washed out and another food is feared.
Water mains were torn away and
wires broken down. leaving the bust
ness section of the city without light
or water.

FIVE BEARS ARE KILLED
BY PRESIDENT AND HIS PARTY
Big Record for Two Days Shooting
Party Camped in Best Bear
Country in Colorado.

Denver, April ga Republican spe-
cial from Glenwood Springs last night
says: President Roosevelts bunting
trip has been crowned with success far
beyond his expectations, or those OF
the most sanguine of his guides. Three
bears were killed by the party to-day.
and two yesterday, one by the Presl-
dent, and one by DR.. Alexander Lam
bert.
p. B. Stewart of Colorado Springs,
one of the Presidents hunting compan-
ions, arrived here tonight, accompan-
led by Courier Chapman. They
brought the story of the hunt. The
killing of the three bears was tele-
phoned to them and they understood
that Mr.. Roosevelt brought down two
of them, but the details are lacking.
The party is almost snowbound in
its present location and no attempt
will be made to cross the divide. Fit
teen feet of snow is on the ground on
the other side and any effort to reach
Redstone would be futile. The hunt
ers are satisfied, however for they
have reached the center of what the
guides say is the best bear country in
Colorado.
Bobcats are thick in the country now
being hunted, so plentiful. in fact, that
many are allowed to escape without
shot being fired in their direction. Sew
eral fine skins have been taken, how
ever.
The bear killed by the President yes
terday was of the brown variety, not
so heavy but furnishing a much finer
pelt than the first animal killed. One
of the bears killed to-day is said to
have been grizzly, but this cannot be
verified.
Mr.. Stewart reached the Hotel Colo
RADIO at 8 o'clock tonight He was still
dressed in his hunting clothes. He
looked brown and rugged and reported
that every man in the party is in the
best of health.
1t was within an area OF seven miles
that all five of the bears were killed.
This spot is about sixteen or eighteen
miles from camp and every animal
gave the dogs and hunters long
chase. All of them freed, which en-
abled the hunters to kill them without
further accident to the dogs. Thus far
only one has been killed. 1t was killed
by the first bear shot.
President Roosevelt is living in
cabin on the abandoned Bum home
stead on the West Divide creek, quar-
ters that are remarkably comfortable
considering the character of the coun-
try. It. fs likely that the party will
stay there for the entire hunt.
News of the outside world is scarce
in the Presidents camp. Once in eV-
cry four or five days papers are sent
in, but these are twelve hours or more
old when they reach New Castle.
"The absence of information of cur
rent events is greatly felt by all. par
ticularly by the President said Mr..
Stewart tonight. But then he went
into the wilds to hunt and he has to
make the best of it, We have been
living well. Supplies are holding out
well and now bear steaks will be on
the bill of fare regularly. No ice box
is needed up there to keep the meat
fresh. The camp is situated at an al
titude of about 5000 feet and there Is
deep snow on every side"
