AoKI CONFERS WITH ROOT.
Declines to Be Questioned About the
Situation.

The japanese amba ssador, Viscount Aoki
called a the State Department this morn
ing and had a conference lasting nearly a
half hour with Secretary Root. AS the am
bassador was leaving the building he turned
sharply upon those who asked him concern
ing the Japanese situation and said: II
have no time to talk"
He would not even discuss with the news
paper men any phase of the japanese
trouble, nor admit that he had received and
laid before Secretary Root a report from
San Francisco touching the trifing Incl
dent at Berkeley, where a few panes OF
glass in a greenhouse belonging to Japa-
nese were said to have been broken by
some small boys.
So far as the State Department is con-
cerned, it is asserted that the relations be-
tween this government and Japan are en-
tirely amicable. that the two governments
understand each other thoroughly, and that
neither will be disturbed by any agitat ton
the tendency of which is to inf1ame ill-feel-
ing between the two countries. 1t is known
that Secretary Roots position is that there
is Japanese situation other than one
which is the same exists between this
country and every other nation-namely,
that of peace and friendly relations.
During his call at the State Department
Viscount Aoki handed to Secretary Root
for his private information a copy of the
treaty recently negotiated between France
and Japan.

NEW YORK, June 13-Eight firemen
were overcome and 100 had a narrow es-
cape from death in fire at a piano factory
on the Southern boulevard at an early hour
this morning. Three alarms were turned in
which brought nozzles enough to quench a
much larger fire, but as there is no water
tower in the Bronx the hose had to be

The smoke was deadly, and now and then
the front man would drop, to be picked up,
carried to the street and resuscitated by
DR.. Archer, the fire department surgeon.
About an hour of this smothered burning

smelled trouble and ordered the men to pull
out to the exits in a hurry. What followed
was not exactly an explosion. 1t was a
sudden breath of fire that blew out every
window and filled its place with a fame
The firemen huddled on the iron balconies
were delused with storm of broken glass;
Their hats were blown off their heads by

sums from the bank in connection with
his railway projects: and his protracted
fight against extradition was one .: the
strongest ever made at the statehcuse.
Extradition Papers Granted.
Gov. w. L. Douglas granted extradi-
ton papers in April, 1905, but Appieyard

Secretary Metcalf, who went straight to

on his arrival this morning and picked I'D
his official duties. was much cast down by
the unfortunate accident in Hampton roads
during his cruise in that vicinity When he
returned TO the roads from jamestown YES
terday the Secretary had his first news of
the disaster and Immediately went aboard
the flagship Connecticut to talk it over
with Admiral Evans. The admiral was
also feeling very kecnly the unfortunate
termination of what had been remark
able naval pageant. In fact. on both occa-
slons when the Atlantic fleet has been as
sembled in holiday parade in HAMPTON
roads since the opening of the Jamestown
exposition II has been remarkably exempt
from accidents, the only very serious af-
falr preceding this loss of the launch of
the Minnesota being on the occasion of the
opening ceremonies, when a float from the
battleshfp Virginia. participating in the
night carnival, was run down and one man
drowned.
Secretary Metcalf also paid visits of con-
dolCnce 10 the Minnesota and the Iowa

the sinking of the launch.
Search Directed by Evans.
Before the Secretary left the roads Ad
miral Evans had directed a most compre-
hensive search to be made of the bottom
OF Hampton roads in the space between
the exposition wharf. from which the i'll

that the boat left Discovery landing. and

Report Concerning a Tug.

Up to the time the Secretary left Hampton
roads he had been unable to confirm the
report that an unknown tug had run over
the launch. but government agents at
work following up clues. 1t is realized
that this is a difficult task, owing to the
fact that it is a common practice for tugs
with their lows to put into the roads in
bad weather without communicating with
shore and sailing away again when the
weather clears.
Admiral Evans telegraphed the Navy De-
partment last night that the boats of the
feet were dragging the waters for the
missing launch and the bodies of the
eleven victims, and that a board is in
,vestigating the catastrophe. The admiral
also stated that the general opinion in the
fleet was that the launch had been run
down by a steamship.
Admiral Evans on his flagship Connecti-
cut left Hampton roads this morning for
New York, leaving Admiral Emory, next
in command. to prosecute the search for
the missing bodies. AS soon as something
tangible is found on which to base an in
vestigation regular court of inquiry will
be held.
