London. June 13.--"such contin- gelcy as an outbreak of war between the United States and Japan Is re- garded by educated Japanese as almost inconceivabIe," cables the correspond ent of the Times at Tolsio If the pro- gfessives are inclined to stir up agita- tion for the defense of Japan's treaty rights, 1t will be aimed solely at dis crediting the ministry and in the in- terests of party politics. The progress siyes themselves would take the lead in denouncing such a war if there was any real danger thereof"
 Tokio, June 1S.-Several papers this morning print photographs of the wreckage caused by the attacks on Japanese restaurants in San Francisco. This appeal to the ele, coupled with strong words describing the sufferlngs of compatriots has further inflamed popular indignation The Nichi Nichi, commenting on the photographs, says. "The situation is doubtless grave and calls for prompt measures on the part of both governments
 The Hochi says; "The stage for ne- gotiations has passed and the time for action has been reached"
 The paper says further that it does not mean to advocate war, but com mercial retaliation.

TO ACTUAL CRIME Orchards Story Brought Down to Murder of Gov.
 steunenberg. EFFORTS OF DEFENSE Directed to Cloud the Earlier Purposes of the Wit
 ness.
EFFORTS OF DEFENSE

Boise, Idaho, June 12. The defense to-day carried the cross examination of Harry Orchard down to the actual crime charged against William D. Hay wood, the murder of former Governor Frank sSteuenberg.
 The Steuenberg crime was reached at midday, and counsel for the defense di- rected their efforts in an attempt to cloud the earlier purposes and move ments of Orchard with uncertainty and indehniteness. Then they emphasized the abandonment of all effort to kill af- ter Orchard first tracked Steunenberg to a hotel in Boise and with a skeleton key gained entrance to the room in which the governor was living. Here they delayed for a moment to prove that Orchard twice wrote and once te- lephoned to Bill Easterly at Silver City to urge him to come and join in tn crime, and the direct implication was that Orchard was endeavoring to in- veigle another federation man into the crime which would bring discredit and dishonor to the organization.
 Then the witness was carried over his long journey into North Idaho, and his crimes there, including a plot to kidnap and hold for ransom, Paulson's s child were emphasized. Orchard swore that David Coates, formerly lieutenant governor of Colorado, and late pub fisher in Wallace, Idaho, first suggest ed the Kidnapping to Pettibone and himself at Denver. Paulson, once a poor miner, had made fortune in the Hercules mine in which Orchard held

 TOWARD FORAKER Constitution League Takes Up the Matter of the Brownsville Shoot
 ing.

A mass meeting of the colnred crtf- zens Of New Haven held in Foy audi- torfum last night under the auspices of the Constitution League of the Uni~ ted States passed resolutions protest ing against the elevation of Secretary of War William Howard Taft to any higher position and expressed their gratitude to Senator joseph R.

 In the addresses, especially that of Mir. Humphrey, President Roosevelt was roundly scored for his action con- cerning the Brownsville riot, and MT. Taft was attacked for his weakness, for doing what the president told him to do, and for going against his own conscience.
 A letter from Henry Edwin Tieman, the president of the league whose headquarters are at 500 Fifth avenue, New York, was read MT. Tieplain re- gretted that he was unable to be pre- sent, outlined the policy of the league and closed by saying that it demanded free speech, fair play and political manhood in every state.
 MT. Humphrey said that the colored voters of Ohio, of the south and of the whole country would use their Influence against MT, Taft and that the colored republicans would do all they could to keep him from getting the presidential nomination.
 The entertainment part of the pros gram consisted of a solo by Miss Eff f- he Grant, a solo by Miss Helen Hogan, solos by Miss Pearl Brown and a re4 citation by Miss Lillian Lynch The meeting closed with the singing of the star Spangled Banner led by Miss Brown A collection of over S60 was taken for carrying on the work of the league. A New Haven branch is soon to be found.
 The resolutions and platform adopt- ed follow:
 The Constitution League in mass convention assembled in New Haven, Conn.
