PRESS REPORTS OF POSSIBLE
WAR WITH JAPAN AS SENT
FROM WASHINGTON.
OASIS OF COMPROMISE AGREED TO
RELATIONS OF THE TWO COUN.
TRIES NEVER MORE COR
DIAL THAN TODAY.

Washington, Feb. 4.-War with ia
pan is the remotest of possibilities.
The difference between the two coun-
tries, owing to the refusal of San
Francisco to permit Japanese pupils
to enter the public schools Of that
city, never has reached the stage
where it created a fear of an armed
clash between the two countries.
Reports of possible war that have
been sent out from Washington are
not only misleading but are wholly
unjustified by any facts in possession
of either government. The relations
between the United States and the
empire Of Japan never were more cor
dial than they are today. The Japa-
nese diplomatic representatives are
we'll acquainted with the situation and
President Roosevelt has succeeded in
securing the consent Of Japan to a
nasis of compromise which will settle
the whole difficulty within a year or
two, provided the people of San Fran
cisco do their part.
The treaty which is pending and
which is the direct result Of the deli
cate Intervention of the president was
not framed by either country because
there was the slightest danger of war.
1t was brought about because the Jap
anese realized that it was not to their
interest to have their people come to
The Mainland Of America,
because they would not be treated
fairly here At the same time they
anything in the nature of international
insult and they generously have
agreed to sign a treaty prohibiting
their people landing in the United
States and prohibiting our working
men landing in the Japanese islands.
All they have asked has been that as
a purely temporary matter and In order
to save their national pride Japanese
children Of school age in San Fran
cisco who until Oct Is or thereabouts
were received in the public school on
IN equality with American children
shall continue to be SO received.
AS the Japanese are to be barred
out by treaty the children of that race
Of school age naturally will disappear
within a few years and thus the Pa
cific coast will be free both Of the
threat of Japanese immigration and OF
present association Of white with Jap
anese children of the coolie class. On
the other hand the people of the Pa
cific slope want Japanese excluded
and when that is done they will be
entirely satisfied. It rests with the
school authorities Of San Francisco to
say whether the fair compromise ar
ranged by President Roosevelt shall
he put In force or not.

Or the navle5 or the TWO countries,
point to the isolated position of the
American fleet in Philippine waters
and the difficulties the United States
would encounter in concentrating a
fleet, sending it to the Far East and
operating it successfully at such a
distance from It's bases, but they fully
recognize the enormous reserve power
of the United States and also the
probability that President Roosevelt
will succeed in satisfactorily arrang-
ing the questions under discussion.

Oliver of Knoxville. Tenn, the lowest
bidder for the Panama canal contract,
called at the isthmian canal commits
sion Offices during the day to talk with
Chairman Shonts about the contract,
but Mr. Shonts is In New York and

Mr.. Oliver said that he was ready
TO comply with the requirement sug-
gested by the president that two other
contractors must be associated with
him in the proposal submitted. Mr..
Oliver would not give the names OF
these contractors and said that these
would probably be made public by Mr..

expired

anna canal contract. Mr.. Stevens de-

Washington, Feb. 4.-The house

for seven days and the amount d.
vided by seven.

came to light during the day through
orders issued to the secret police 70
use every effort to identify the pur-
chaser of uniform of his majesty's
own Cossack escort, which was cap
tured during a recent raid. Detec-
tives have been directed to visit every
tailor in st. Petersburg and the re-
searches can be extended to the prov
inces. The use of regulation uniforms
is a favorite device OF the terrorists.
It was employed in the attempt
against the life of Premier Stolypin
and In the assassination OF Military
Procurator Pavloff. The Cossack garb

Count Boni de Casteilane Piedps 70
See Former Wife.
Paris, Feb 4.-Count Boni de Cas-
tellane is pursuing his former wife,
Nine Gould, with importunate letters
begging an interview. In one OF them
he writes:
"If you don't consent to see me III
commit suicide"
He desires an interview in the hope
that he can wheedle her into settling
an annuity upon him, but thus far she
has turned a deaf ear to all his plead
ings and to the constant overtures OF
the entire Castellane family.
It Is believed by Nine. Gould's
friends that she will ignore Bonfs de-
mands for alimony until, In despera-
tion, he consents to give up all claims
on their children, although he is le-
gally entitled to see them at certain
intervals and direct their education.

PRESIDENT Is INTERESTED.
Will Urge Early Action on Amended
Alcohol Bill.

Washington, Feb. 4.-The president
has assured Representatives Hill of
Connecticut and Marshall of North
Dakota that he would use his influence
to secure an early vote on the bill
providing for the changes in the de-
natured alcohol law which are being
demanded by the farmers.
Theoretically the present law is re-
garded by many to be all right, but it
is held that Its practical operation
bars farmers from enjoying any bene-
fits because Of the large expense re-
quired in starting business.

VAUDE-

Cleveland, Ohio, June 3.-The newly organized Klaw & Erlanger vaude- vile interests have taken over the opera house of 'advanced vaudeville" beginning tonight The statement of ficially made that the opera house will play vaudeville indefinitely, begin ming on the third, tonight, is of un- usual interest because of the history of the theater. Since it was opened more than quarter of century ago it has been the home of the high class attractions. Every actor or actress of fame in the last quarter of century has played on it's stage. According to H. D. Kline, manager of the theater, however. the term indefinite is not to be taken literally. "This will be q supplementary season." explained MT. Kline, Lit does not mean that the opera house has ceased to play the standard attractions" As klaw & Err langer will sink a great deal of mon ey on summ\r campaign in vaude- vile. it is almost certain that the vau- deville will be continued during the winter, in order to reimburse them selves for the outlay during the dull season.
