MORGAN and RICH JAP
meet WITH ROOSEVELT
President, Who Year Ago Re-
pudiated Visit, Has Gotham
Magnate to Luncheon.
CHINESE ROAD THE TOPIC
Hand of Japan Seen in Effort to Force
Americans to Give Up the Con-
cession-Belgian Ing OPP
poses Such Move.

oyster Bay. Aug. 11.-rhouGh a
,car ago President Roosevelt expressed
sis indignation at the story that j. +.
Morgan had paid him a call from his
Jacht Corsair to offer him his support
in the campaign, the Corcair yesterday
under Sycamore Hill. and Mr..
Morgan went ashore to take luncheon
with the president.
1t was officially announced at the eN-
ecutive offices hat MIR. Morgan had
called on the president by appointment
to discuss the Canton-Han!iow Chinese
railway concession. The
visit at the presidents home lasted an
hour. Upon Mr.. Morgan's return the
Gorsair passed out and then headeu
eastward.
The Corsair had not weighed anchor
when Baron Kaneko, who is generally
supposed to represent the Japanese
government in d confidential capacity.
drove up Sycamore hill.
"Eid you expect to meet Mr.. Nor
GAM" he was asked.
u. p. Morgan-is he here?" asked
he baron. Il should be glad to meet
him."
Japan's Hand Is Seen.
1t has been intimated that Japan Is
peliind the Chinese efforts to get pos
session of the American railway conces-
sion. Neither Mr.. Morgan nor Baron
Kaneko had a word to say on the sub
jet.
\ Mr.. Morgan's call. however, makes 1t
plain that the Hankow railway conces-
sion has passed from a financial to a
political question. King Leopold of
t'elgium. who is a large stakeholder In
the company, recently urged Mr.. Nor
gan to hold on to the concession. for
which China is said to have offered
81. 000. 900. Mr.. Morgan decided to post
pom a decision on the question until
he could sound President Roosevelt on
the conditions that might arise from a
treaty of peace between Russia and
Japan, with the latter's influence pre-
eminent at Picking.
Sale of Road Postponed.
The meeting of the company last
Saturday, at which the sale of the road
was to have hoen decided, was post
poned until August 20. 1t Is believed
that Mr.. Morgan offered today to hold
on to the concession. even II the pres
ent advantageous offer could not be
renewed, if American interests in gem
wal in China would benefit thereby
In any event, the sale will be postponed
nntil something definite is known from
the peace conference at Portsmouth.
The president has long been inter.
ested in the question of the Hankov
concessions, in which all American en-
<ErpriSe in China seems indirectly in
volved. The effects of a surrender o
American interests represented by MI
Morgan were considered at a cabine
meeting in Washington several week!
before the president came to Oyste
Bay.
Boycott Also Considered.
The cabinet meeting considered a
the saline time the Chinese boycott o
, . mcrican goods. The president feel
nat the sale of the Dad would be
,, 'ictory fer the anti-Amcrican move

History Repeats Itself.
The gloomy predictions of the Rus
sian peace ENJOYS regarding the prob
able impossibility of accepting Japanese
terms lend interest to an account in the
Nineteenth Century of a former occa-
sion when Russian agents made a SIM
liar declaration. AT the congress of
Berlin Lord B~eaconstield laid down four
points for Russia's acceptance. The
Russian representatives declared it was
impossible to consider these. There
upon Bea consfield directed his secre-
tary TO arrange for an immediate re-
turn to London where he would insist
on a declaration of war. The secretary
wired to the station master at Cologne
for a special train. that official notified
Bismarck and the chancellor at once
sought out Beaconsfield. for he knew
what the Englishman did not, hat the
Russian envoy had been instructed to
yield to any demands rather than to
provoke war. Bismarck inquired
whether the o points really repre-
scented Britain's ultimatum. He was
assured that they did. Whereupon he
called on the Russians and at the next
session of the congress they ~graciously
yielded on all the points which they had
previously refused to consider. BLUFF
is a great factor in diplomacy. ,

attempted assault last night at the

The rescue was most timely. BY my
order the America wintered In Neplitz

4 the ship was crushed in ice and be-
came a total 10 , together with big
quantities OF coal and provisions.
supplies of stores left at Franz Josef
land by various relief parties saved us
very serious privations. Three attempts
to reach a high latitude failed. Scien-
tilc work, however, as planned, was
successfully carried u bv William j.
Peters of the United States geological
survey.
Our rescue was due to the splendid
efforts of William S. Camp, secretary
of the late William Zeigler, command
ing he relief expedition, who, owing
to terrible weather. failed to reach us
last year, and to the untiring zeal of
Captain Kjeldsen and his Norwegian
officers and crew who. for six weeks,
persistently forced their way through
solid foes of ice and finally reached us.
The expedition reached 81 degrees
and 10 minutes.
