Seattle at II o'clock this morning on the
Great Northern steamer Minnesota and
continued his journey over the Great North
ern Railway this evening, occupying James
j. Hill private car.
Baron Komura declined all tenders OF
hospitality while here, pleading special in
strucions from the Mikado to make oil
possible speed to Washington. Baron
Komura in declining to discuss his mission
said he did not feel at liberty to speak ex-
cept to say:
1.-The two beligerents in response to the
suggestion OF the President have appointed
peace plenipotcntiaries who are to meet in
the United States, and 1t Is to be hoped
that the peaceful impulses Of the two ma

nearly day and some plans for the recep-
ton of the party were disarranged.
Japanese Consul Hismidzu, stationed
in Seattle, was with the Seattle reception
committee and delivered huge bundle
of letters and cablegrams to Baron Komura.
Almost the entire nineteen hours OF the
Baron's stay was consumed in decipherng
and replying to the more urgent messages.

Of the steamer by Baron Komura were
handsome velvet tapestry and valuable cut
glass to the chief officer and ornamental
trinkets to others. Liberal tips we're given
to servitors aboard.
While secretive as to diplomatic matters
Baron Komura was one OF the most demo-
cratic Of the Minnesota's passengers. At a
gathering Tuesday night he proposed and
led in singing 4Suawanee River" a memory
Of his Harvard days. The other members
of the party also seemed to know the tune.
if not the words
Baron Komura goes to St. Paul by
way Of the Great Northern, thence to Chi
cago by the Burlington, and to New York
over the Pennsylvania lines.

Attorney-NO ExtradltiOn for Park.


Acting District Attorney Cans has asked
the State Department at Washington to
withdraw the extradition papers for Edward
Park, the tutor in the Higginson family

not sufficient evidence to extradite Park.
MIR. Cans says
TWAS represented to the District Attorney
that a pawnbroker had identified Park
from a photograph rs the man who had
pa wned some Of the jewels. When the
pawnbroker was summoned to the District
ATTORNEYS Office he described man under
six feet, while Park Is 0 feet 8.
"We were wofully fooled by the police
said Mr., Cans, "and I regret that man
against whom there Is no evidence should
be charged with q crime. It was on the
uositive statement Of Detective McCaferty
that several pawnbrokers. had identified
Park from photographs that we advised
his arrest.
Park is to return no this country In the
fall.

MITCHELL FOR
CANCELLATION
President of United Mine Work.
ers' Association Wants
Movable Board.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 27:--Pres-
ident John Mitchell, of the United
Mine Workers Association, has COM
municated with the presidents of the
anthracite coal producing companies
in regard to the demand the miners
will make for the continuance of
work in the hard coal fields.
II is understood the letter is in re-
gard to holding a conference between
the committee representing the Uni
ted Mine Workers Association and
the operators. AS to what the oper-
ators will do it has not definitely been
decided upon. The officers of the
large companies are averse to meet
ing the members of the Miners AS
ISOLATION, and if such a conference Is
,rranged it is likely that the opera
iors will be represented by the work
ing officials.
Besides asking for an eight-hour
day, there arc also to be presented
other demands. The most import
ant, and one, that if adopted, will
mean the complete recognition of the
union, and at the same time keep
the association before the miners, is
the request that an entire new Con-
Citation Board be formed, one that
will always be in session and will go
from place to place to settle all dis
putes.
This request will meet with con-
siderable opposition from the opera
tors. They believe that it will result
in the sending of the board to man
places where the differences could
and should be attended to by the
mine boss. There is a board similar
to that proposed in the bituminous
coal fields, which is called the Pit
Committee, and President Mitchell
the hard coal region.
1t is understood that the commit
tee will request the operators to
agree to the formation of a new
Cancellation Board, which, instead
of meeting at i%nfrequent intervals,
ready TO go where there is any re-
quest for a decision by the board.
The committee is to be composed of
three members representing the min
ers and the same number represent
ing the operators, and a seventh
member TO be chosen by the other
six.
AS to the other demands, the OPP
orators profess to be in the dark. 1t
is thought that the most vital one
will be the recognition of the union
and that to have the Cancellation
Board going from place to place
would probably accomplish the de-
sired result.

HARD AT WORK
ON MESSAGE.
Governor Burns Midnight Oil in
: Eagerness to be Fortified on
Election Reform.

TRENTON, Dec. 27:-Frequently
remaining at his desk until long af-
ter midnight and daily consulting all
the reports and authorities within his
reach, Governor Stokes is now busily
engaged in the preparation of his an
lual message, to be read to the two
branches of the legislature, follow
'ng the reorganization of the law
making body Tuesday, January 9
This message promises to be one OF
he most important that has been
ient to the legislature in recent years
lot only because of the are that is
)eing taken in its preparation, but
,lso because Of the great questions
hat are now demanding the atten-
ion of the state authorities.
Election Reform Leads List.
Among the questions the governor
will take up in his message will be:
election reform, equal taxation, lin
ted franchises, public economy and
similar subjects. He will doubtless
levote considerable attention to
equal taxation and limited franchises,
particularly as these subjects have
become so popular since the reform
o was Endorsed at the last cleo
ion. The governor has some radical
opinions in these matters, as has
)een indicated by his past addresses,
md what he will say to the legisla-
.ure concerning them is sure to be of
interest and worth.
The governor will also pay much
.ttention to the expenditure of pub
ic moneys, particularly in the var
GUS state institutions. The creation,
It the suggestion, of the State De-
)artment of Charities and Correc-
ions has already resulted in a big
iaving to the state in several in
'tances and has uncovered methods
hat may be improved to even a still
greater saving. The governor is es-
)ecially DESTROYS that state expendi-
ure shall be curtailed so as to enable
The taxing authorities to lessen the
burden on the tax payers, particular
iy in cities and boroughs.
Strong Deliverance Expected.
The governors views on the sub
iect of election reform are awaited
With much interest. He has been in
Jestigating the subject for some
months and has been in communica-
lion with the governors of other
states. He is expected to make some
strong recommendations to the legis-
lature in this connection. The lead
ers of the two principal parties
would be glad to be relieved of the
yote-buying evil which now prevails.
1t is a source of heavy expense as
well as being morally and legally
wrong.
