CALLS JAPAN FRIEND.
WRIGHT At OYSTER BAY.
Retired ambassador Makes Report
President Talks about 1908.
[By Telegraph TO The Trfhune.


oyster Bay, Sept. 1I.-If there is danger Of
serious trouble between this country and Japan
General Luke Z. Wright was able to detect no
signs of its coming during his long residence
at Toxic United States Ambassador. Cen
eral Wright. who has just terminated his am
bassadorsFip, came to Sycamore Hill to-day to
see the President before going to his home. In
Memphis.
The President wished particularly to talk with
General Wright about the feeling of the Jap
anese toward the Americans. and received en-
phatic assurances from him that nothing put
the most cordial sentiments are felt
Il walked seven or eight miles about TOXIC
every day" said General Wright, "and never
look action on the part of the clu-
zens that could have been construed as un-
friendly. From the tremendous number OF
Americans now travelling about Japan. 1t looks
a good deal more like American invasion OF
Japan than Japanese invasion Of the Cnlted
States.
"Of course few. Of the japanese papers. like
their Puck have stirred up a little feeling III
certain quarters Just as the papers over here
have PLAYED the news up in a sensational form
and made things out to be worse than theS
were When the school trouble arose III 0dh
Francisco / guess there was considerable anu
American sentiment expressed. but none t2al
ever went far enough to take the form OF v'o-
lence ruffianism
The President inquired very particularlyN OF
me as to the feeling that exists toward Amerl-
cans in Japan. and I told him that il was just
as cordial as it could be. Regarding the trou-
bles in Vancouver the President, of course,
does not for an instant believe that the action
of American labor unions had any bearing on
the case
AS the visit of the battleship fleet to the
Pacific Mr.. Wright said that recognizing the
entire right and advantage to the United States
in doing as # pleased with its navy, japan felt
no resentment nor. in his opinion. would the
cruise be made the basis Of the development of
any unpleasant feeling between the two coun-
tries.
THE THIRD TERM QUESTION.
To another OF his visitors to-day the President
is said to have repeated his former assertion
that the only possible contingency that would
cause him to run for the Presidency in 1908
would he concerted movement on the part of
his enemies to halt the policies that he has In
itated and carried on during his incumbency
To the same visitor the President expressed
the belief that a fisheries treaty would he made
with Newfoundland during the coming winter.
and that the movement for tariff readjustment
would be pushed by the leaders of the party.
General Wright and Judge Walter C. Noycs.
of Connecticut, took luncheon with the Presi-
dent to-day. Previous to the luncheon the Pres
ident conferred with Peyton Gordon. who was
recently promoted from pardon attorney of the
Department of Justice be special assistant
the Attorney General. Robert p. Porter, corrt-
spondent Of The London Times" and John 4.

Ing to an old donkey when that animal
was resting from its labors. One day,
owing to the carelessness of its driver

perform it's daily work. For nearly a
fortnight the donkey lay in agony in
its stable, and during that time the cat
scarcely ever left its friend. Sometimes
the pit lads would drive it away, but
1t would always steal back again, and
when the donkey died as a result Of its
injuries the cat began to howl pitiful-
~ and would not be comforted. But
the climax came when they were TAX
ing the donkey's carcass to the surface.
The cat began to scratch and fly at the
men who were removing it and became
so violent that 1t had to be killed.
