WANTS O"BUTT IN
CHINA REQUESTS A HEARING AT
PEACE CONFERENCE.
Claims She is vitality Interested in
ceedings-Russia Favors Sugges-
ton, but Japan Will Not Consent
Armistioe Looked for Middle of
August.

Washington, July 11-China's re-
quest to be represented in the Wash
ington conference, on the ground that
she is vitality interested in it's pro-
ceedings, has been received by the
president and informally transmitted
TO the belligerents. Whether the presi-
dent has received the formal replies
can not be learned. but it can be
stated that while Russia is inclined to
favor the suggestion Japan will not
consent to it.
Japan has already made public her
assurance that Manchuria is to be re-
stored to China. That is one of the
principles for which she says she has
been fighting. Japan regards herself
as fully capable of executing this
promise without the assistance of
China, and in view of China's inability
before the war to cope with Russia in
Manchuria, the Japanese government
is unable to see what possible service
Chinese representative would be in
the Washington conference.
Moreover, the Japanese have all
along taken the position that when
peace negotiations were begun they
would be conducted directly with Rus
STA. 1t is altogether unlikely that the
Washington government will press the
claim of China. and the official view
here fails to sympathize with the idea
The past week has seen few develop
ments in the plans for the negotia
tons. Negotiations for an armistict
are not expected to be concluded un
til after the plenipotentiaries meet. L
is pointed out again that the beginning
of the rainy season in the war zont
removes the necessity for the imme
date signing of an armistice. Little
doubt is felt, however, that this will
be the first subject discussed by thu
plenipotentiaries and probably thei
initial act will be the signing of
protocol providing for the cessation o
hostilities for a limited period.
No place has yet been finally select
ed for the holding of the conference
but some place in New England vii
certainly be selected. 1t is believe
here that the choice lies betwee
Portsmouth, N. H., and Portland, Me
with the chances in favor of tn
former.
1t is believed here that instead @
the president making the tedious tri
to Washington to meet the plenipoter
, tiaries, the plan which will be adopte
is for the plenipotentiaries to go t
Oyster Bay, where they will be joint
received by the president and formal
, presented to each other. They coul
{ go by boat thence to the place selecte
for the conference, returning to Wasl
ington at the conclusion Of their labc
for the formal signing of the treaty
Washington, provided their labors ar
so successful.

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-
narlly this would not provide much of
an exhibit, it is deemed amply suffi-
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 Hogle as COM

London, April 26.-The draft OF the

less convicted of treason since May 81,

tanned free pardon.

No Serious Emergency.

Washington. April 2S.-Secretary
Taft, when made aware of the Presi-

showed no surprise, for it was known
to him before the President left Wash
ington that he was very doubtful of
his ability to carry out his wish to re-
main in the hunting country until the
middle of May. The President told
Secretary Taft that he feared he could
not remain longer than May Sth, and
that he consequently had formed an
alternative program, based on that be-
lief. There is no pressing emergency
here requiring the immediate presence
of the President. All of the facts rel
ative to the Venezuelan situation have
been disclosed to the public. and in
the opinion of the officials here they
do not justify any apprehension OF a
rupture in the immediate future.

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 Roosevelt's hunting
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 Presi-
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. Fiji
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 a
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 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 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 a 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
4 by the iirst bear shot.
President Roosevelt is living il Il
cabin on the abandoned Bum home
stead on the West Divide creek, quar-
| terS that are remarkably comIortaDle
considering the character of the coun-
try. 1t is 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.
1.-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
we'll 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"

Isaac johnson is among the latest
victims to be humiliated by members
of the detective force of Denver. Mr..
johnson is highly respected young
man but nevertheless he was accusted
Wednesday night by two detectives
while escorting young lady to her
home on Capitol Hill and required to
go through an odeal of questions. We
have been reliably informed that it is
the orders from the high executives of
Denver's city officials to stop and ques-
ton or arrest all Negroes who are seen
on Capitol Hill after dark and as re-
suit many of our best citizens are made
subjects for the most unjust humilia-
ton. There has beee, and are to-day,
men on the Denver police force who
have served time in the penitenitary.
Such men are dangerous characters to
the welfare of the public. 1t is not safe
for colored man to meet an officer
after dark for fear of being dubbed into
insensibility, for no cause other than he
is Negro.
