NO THOUGHT OF WAR
Japanese Legation at Paris Issues Re-
assuring Note Concerning the Pres
ent Difficulty Between Japan and the
United States.

Paris, Dec. 1.-Great interest is man
ifested here in the situation growing
out of the exclusion of japanese chill
dren from the public schools of San
Francisco. Some newspapers take an
alarming view Of the affair, represent
ing the recent arrivals from the far
east as saying that clash between
Japan and the United States is newt
able. The japanese legation today is
sued a reassuring note declaring the
paroxys,n of popular anger represented
as raging in japan was greatly exag-
gerated, and saying: Naturally it's
matter of national pride that our coun-
trymen be permitted to enjoy the
rights accorded to them by treaty, but
we appreciate the local conditions, and
have the fullest confidence ia the abil-
ity of the Washington government to
arrange with California for the recog-
milton of our rights. There is no
thought of war"

COAL MEN USED GUNS.
Armed Men to Force Control of Utah
Lands.

Salt Lake City, Utah, Dec. 1.-Fur-
ther use Of armed men to obtain a
monopoly of the coal trade in the in
termountain region was unearthed
when George D. Holiday of this city
quire and hold coal lands and to op-
crate mines in competition with the
Utah Fuel Company, a Gould property.
He said that he was forced into such
continuous warfare and had to resort
to so many means to maintain
his rights that he finally tired of the
struggle and sold out for $22,600. The
property which he owned is now one
of the most valuable pieces of coal and
coking properties in the hands of the
Utah Fuel Company.
Mr.. Holiday testified before Inter-
state Commerce Commissioner F. E.
Clarke, who is here making an investi-
gatiob into alleged coal land frauds
and restraint of coal trade. The witt
ness said that he organized the Holli-
day Coal Company in 1897 and under-
took to acquire title to a tract Of coal
land in Whitmore canyon, near Sunny
side, Utah.
Robert Forester geologist of the
Utah Fuel Company, with ]. Kipman
and other men came to him, he said,
and told him that unless he got off the
land they would jump his claim. Lat
er, during his absence, he declared,
armed men went in and took possession
of his property. to which man named
Robert Kirken set UP a claim. Holli-
day testified that he attempted to con-
test Kirken's claim in the district
court of the Third Utah district, but
every decision was against him unit,
he secured a transfer Of the case to
Salt Lake City.
Mr.. Holiday told Of several con-
versations with Robert Clark, superin-
tendent of the Pleasant Valley Coal
Company, and other official of the
companies. in which sometimes threats
We're made against him and at other
times efforts were made to buy him

TESTIMONY ALL IN
Evidence in the Gillette Murder Trial
Concluded and Case Will Go to Jury
Early Next Week-The Closing Evi.
dence Not Sensational.

Herkimer, N. Y, Dec. chester E.
Gillette, the young factory foreman,
who, is on trial here, charged with the
murder of Grace Brown, will not know
gins. The last bits of evidence, both
for and against the accused man, will
have been given to the jury before
court adjourns today. There still re-
main however, the pleas of counsel and
charge of the presiding justice before
the case reaches the jury. In view of
the mass of testimony which has been
heard, it is believed final arguments
will be long.
The session of court today was brief
one When it opened Gillette again
went on the stand. District Attorney
Ward pulled several garments out of
Miss Browns trunk and Gillett,
identified them as having been worn by
Grace in the factory. Gillette ransack-
ed his own suit case at the feet Of the
Jurors, but failed to find any of his
working clothes in the pack. The pur-
port of this testimony was to show
that Grace Browns farewell words to
the farm, when she said she might
"Never see the dear old place again"
were prompted by her decision to re-
main away from home forever with
Gillette, who, at least, had promised
to go to South Otselic and take her
away. Gillette's failure to find any of
his working clothes IN the grip will be
placed before the jury in the prosecu
tors summing up as an indication that
he intended 10 be back in Cortland in a
week.
Several other witnesses testified on
some minor points in the case, and
court then adjourned until Monday.

Heavy Gravel Train Crashes In
to Mixed Train OH Rutland
Road Near Vergonnes
CARS GO OVER 6MBANkMENr.
Remained On Sides Of Slope, Making
Work Of Rescue From Flames Which
EnveIoped Wreckase Very Difficult
Others Feared to Have Lost Their
Lives-SeveraI Injured.

vergennes, VT, Dec. Flour persons
are known to be killed, and it is fear
ed others lost their lives, while several
were seriously injured, in "a wreck on
the Rutland railroad near here today.
"A gravel train ploughed into the rear
end Of passenger train, and two pas
senger cars were wrecked and caught
fire One of the bodies found is be-
'lieved to be that of Mrs. w. A. Law
renee of Bristol, wife of Deputy Sher-
,iff Lawrence, of Addison county. An
other body is that of a woman, while
4 the other two were found 80 badly
charred that it is impossible to tell
whether they are men or women.
Cars Over Embankment.
A mixed train from Rutland was
taking the siding in order. to allow the
south bound mail train to pass. The
heavy gravel train following, crashed
into the mixed train which was COM
posed of two passenger cars and a ca
boose. The caboose was smashed, an1
the passenger cars hurled on end, then
toppled over the edge Of a fifty foot
embankment, which dropped at an an
gle of forty-five degrees to a small
brook. The cars did not fall the en-
tire distance, however. remaining on
the sides of the slope. This position
made the work OF rescue very difficult.
Almost Immediately the wrecked cars
caught FIRE, and several passengers were
unable to escape from the flames. The
local fire department. responded, but as
the station is three-quarters of a mile
from the village, and there is only one
hydrant near the scene Of the wreck,
their work was greatly delayed AMI
hampered. The firemen and persons
living near by, made every effort to as
sist the passengers and those most SER
iously hurt were. taken to farm house
near the station.
Opera Company on Board.
Among the passengers were twenty
one members of the Drury Opera Com
pany of New York City, an organiza-
tion made up of colored singers, who
last night filled an engagement at Mid
dlebury. All this troupe has been ac-
counted for but three members. Sew
eral other passengers sustained more
or less serious injuries.

resentatives in Washington Already.
Washington, Dec. 1.-The last few
days have witnessed the arrival Of an
exceptionally large number of senators
and members of the house Of represen-
tatives, and the indications are that
when the final session of Fifty ninth
congress opens at noon Monday, there
will be a full attendance in both hous-
es. There has. so far been very little
opportunity for conference among the
leaders, but most of them agree in
the opinion that the session will be a
very busy one The house committee
on appropriations has been at work for
a week, with the hope of having sup
ply bill ready for consideration at the
beginning Of the session, and while 1t
will not be entirely successful in that
direction, there is no doubt that 1t
will be able to report soon after con-
vening, and that the house at least will
soon be engaged with real business
session, which is the consideration Of
appropriations for the next fiscal year.

Princeton, KY. Dec. 1.-Two tobac-
co stemmeries, controlled by the Im-
perial Tobacco Company, of New
York. were totally destroyed early to-
day by fire which was kindled against
them by mob of three hundred mask
ed men.
Several cottages in the vicinity were
badly damaged. The loss is $4,000.
The mob entered Princeton between
/ and o'clock and seized the night
marshal and disarmed him. They then
went to the factories and quickly ap-a
piled the torch The masked men stood
on guard, permitting nobody to come
near until the buildings were completes
ly enveloped in flames, and help use
less A portion Of the mob took charge
of the telephone office, and no word Of
the affair was permitted to. go out.
When the mob saw the fire was beyond
control, they left the town, going in the
direction of Hopkinsville. discharging
revolvers and rifles as they departed.
The work of the mob is believed to
be only the furtherance of the agita-
ton by tobacco raisers against the to-
bacco trust.
Louisville, KY, Dec. Mott Ayres,
state fire marshal, left for Princeton
today to investigate the alleged in
cendiarism Of two tobacco factories.
It is not improbable that Governor
Beckham will be asked to call out the
militia to protect the property of those
districts, in view Of the past outrages.
