WASHINGTON MEN ABROAD.
Entertain the Y. II. G. A. in Toxic
japan.

The Japan Times, Of Tokyo. In its issue
OF April Z, published the following para
graph In Its report Of the proceedings Of
the Worlds Christian Student Federation:
'.Mr. s. w. Woodward, one of the leading
members Of the chamber Of commerce OF
Washington, D. c., and Mr.. John B. Sle-
man. jr.. q prominent business man Of the
same city. both delegates to the federation
conference now being held In this city, en-
tertained at thin at the Imperial Hotel on
Friday all the secretaries Of the interna-
tional committee of Y. NJ. C. AS of North
America who are in attendance at the con-
ference. The number included four from
New York city. three from India, ST from
China one from Korea and six from japan.
Most OF the secretaries were accompanied
by heir wives.
The Times. which is non-Christian pa
per editorially gives expression to the most
cordial sentiments toward the Christian
delegates. Among other things, It says:
= 1T Is not for us to be curious as to what
sort OF memory the foreign delegates will
carry home Of this country. But We venture
to think that not the least thing that i'm
pressed them were the messages to the
conference from some Of our foremost
statesmen. Very important were those from
the minister of foreign affairs and the min
lister OF education. and most notable was
that from aMrquis Ito. Speaking of Mar
quis Ito, he went the length of making a
munificent gift of 10000 yen to the con-
ference
ut should be observed that Marquis Ito
has. in his hands. SO to say the future of
Korea. where missionary elements are very
influential and this Is the way in which he
acts toward Christian workers. Whatever
his personal faith may me. he has given an
indisputable proof that he is well disposed
toward Christianity and its endeavors, and
1t goes without saying that il friendly ap-
preached he would show himself similarly

THE nOYER-HAYWOOD TRIAL
EXTRA PRECAUTIONS TAKEN TO
PREVENT DISORDERS.
All Street Preaching or Speaking to
Be Stopped in Boise During the
Hearings-Troops.

BOISE, Idaho, May 7.-As precautionary
measure, street preaching or speaking viii
be stopped In Boise during the trials Of
William d. Haywood and the other leaders
Of the Western Federation of Miners for the
alleged murder Of Frank Steunenberg. It
Is feared that freedom of speech in the
street may lead to local agitation for or
against the prisoners and possible disorders,
and Mayor Haines has decided that 1t will
be better to issue and inforce a strict order
covering the matter
The city continues entirely quiet, and
there Is not the slightest indication of pos
sible disorder. The occasional crank is the
man feared rather than any concerted or
suddenly aroused general movement Police
and detectives watch the railroads and
highways entering the city, and 1t Is the
general belief that they will be able at all
times to fully control the situation
Behind them are an experienced militia and
Two troops OF United States cavalry quar-
tered at permanent post within the city
limits, but there Is not the slightest appre-
hension that their services will be required.
nor have the troops been instructed to hold
themselves in readiness. In fact, the gov
ernor. the mayor and the people of Boise
decline to believe that under any circum-
stances will peace be broken.
Defense Playing for Time.
Judge Fremont Wood has given no indi-
cation as. to what his decision may be in
the matter of the bill of particulars asked
for by the defense and argued yesterday.
Should this motion be granted there win
undoubtedly be considerable delay in OPEN
ing the trial, as the defense would, it IL
believed, ask for q postponement until they
can secure other witnesses. In the course
OF his argument yesterday Clarence OAR
row. counsel for the defense, fntimated that
delay would be asked for should the mo-
ton be granted. Lawyers not connected
with the case are of the opinion that the
melton for the bill will not be granted, how
ever.
The city is rapidly filling up. Witnesses
are arriving. many Of them from long
distance. The newspaper men and maya
zine writer's, many Of them. have engaged
houses or flats for several months IN the
opinion that 1t will take three months to
try the case.

MADRID, May TIT was IRONICALLY
announced yesterday that the accouche-

the end Of May. This announcement was
subsequently contradicted by Dr. Guet-

attendance at the palace. who declared
that the royal baby should have arrived
before this.
There was much surprise and comment
at the discrepancy in these statements,
and careful inquiry was made with the re-
suit that the official statement, issued at
the beginning of the year, placing the
event In the later part of May, turns out
to be correct The incident has caused
both indignation and amusement, and it
has revealed that the Court physicians
who issued report on April saying the
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT probably would occur the
latter part of April We're In error.
The newspapers demand that some one
be made to answer for this ridiculous mis-
take, which has kept the nation on the tip
