INTEREST IN LONDON.
Politicians Say We Have Gained ia
pans Enmity,

London. July THE political tension
between the United States and Japan is
exciting the keenest interest among all
the European diplOmatists. None of them,
however believe that it will reach the
stage of warfare. because the heavy bur
den of debt Japan is carrying as a result
of her failure to obtain indemnity from
Russia fOTbids her embaTkiug on a sim
liar costly enterprise in the next decade.
1t is recognized, nevertheless, that the
United States is acquiring the enmity Of
Japan as one of her national assets which
may prove a handicap in the event of
trouble with any other power
Great Britain finds herself in an en-
barrassing position also, because she is
obliged to stand between her colonies
and the matter of anti-Japanese laws.
TransvaaI has Just put into operation a
law regulating the entry of ASiaticS,
which applies to Indian subjects. as well
as to the japanese and the Chinese. and
which compels them to submit to an eN-
animation and registry with thumb
prints like criminals, which is exceed
ingly irritating to them. Australia
threatens legislation in the same lines
Alfred Deakin, the Australian premier
during his recant visit to England, re-
pcatedly said in his speeches that the
chief national question with which Aus
tralia must deal was the menace of the
inflow of japanese labor.

WOODNEN ARE SOLVENT
But Colorado Commissioner Suggests
an Adjustment Of Pre-
MUM Rates,

Denver, Colo, July 7-E. E. Rittenhouse,
state commissioner Of insurance in let
ter to l. / BOak, head consul of the
WOOdmen of the World CPacific jurisdc-
tom, made public To-Day, calls attention
to the fact that during the past year,
the amount collected for the benefit or
mOrtuary fund was $40, sic less than the
benefits paid to members Mr.. Rittenhouse
also finds that an insufficient sum of
money is provided for the expenses of the
order and that there is unjust discrimi-
nation in the rates charged for insur-
ance, the rate to new members being
about twice that which the original men,
DeTs of the organization are paying.
The insurance commissioner finds that
the order is entirely solvent, with total
of 81. 40, $50 on hand. most of which Is in
the reserve fund, but he recommends that
the order adopt without delay some meth
cd of providing, first an adequate eX-
pense fund; second, elimination of unjust
discrimination. and, third, adequate rates
to protect policy obligations,
The order has over 100. 600 members, a
quarter of whom reside in Colorado.

Los Angeles, July Thousands of

States are assembled in Los Angeles to-
night awaiting the call to order of the
fiftieth anniversary convention of the
National Educational association to-
morrow afternoon. Special trains from
many of the large eastern cities, bring
ing delegations numbering as many as
200 teachers have been arriving over
three transcontinental railroads almost
hourly during the last twenty-four
hours, and already there is assurance
of an attendance that will be little
short of record breaking. Ideal sum-
mer weather prevails and the streets
and principal buildings of this city are
brilliantly decorated by day and illum-
mated by night in honor of the teach
ers' coming.
Up TO 8 O'Clock this evening the Off
ciaI registration bureau had obtained
notice of nearly 1000 arrivals, with half
a dozen large delegations still en- route
and nearly half the coast representa-
ton not on the ground. 1t is expected

BERLIN'S GLOOMY VIEW.
Widespread Conviction That Conflict
Will Come.

, Berlin, July THE conviction of an Ill
innate conflict between Japan and the
United States appears to be widespread in
Germany. II is one of the subjects GER
tain to be referred to wherever diplO-
matists and military and naval officials
and others accustomed to follow interna-
tional politics meet. The newspapers
agree that President Roosevelt is earnest
ly trying to satisfy the japanese requests.
They agree also that Japan asks nothing
unreasonable. They recognize that the
difficulty lies in the question Of race. the
economic antagonism of the CahfOrnians
against the japanese and the cOnstitu-
tional imDossibiity of federal coercion.
1t is believed by many that the group
of ruling statesmen in Japan are prepar-
ing to fight the United States for the
mastery of the Pacific. regardless of the
San Francisco incidents.
The strategists of the admiralty regard
a naval war between Japan and the
United States as the most interesting
problem of the day. Careful studies that
have been worked out are unfavOrabie to
the United States. because the Amer
Jean fleet. although of greater power than
that of Japan. would have to seek a fight
in Japan's home waters.

MUST LET PUBLIC IN.
Railway Companies Ordered to Open
Elevators.

Madison. WIS. July THE Wisconsin
railroad commission issued an order to-
day requiring the Great Northern and
the Eastern Railway companies of Min
nesOta, and the Chicago, st. Paul, Min
neapolis & Omaha Railroad company to
open their big grain elevators at Superior
to the use of the general public.
If the order stands and is not over
turned by the courts, it will. it is be-
lieved, re-estabIish the grain business
in Superior on the basis of two years ago,
when the railroad companies. in order
to get around the Wisconsin grain In
spection law, leased their elevators to
private parties, thus practically closing
them to the public use and putting the
independent grain dealers out of bust
ness.
In addition to requiring them to throw
their elevators open to public use. the
order also provides that they shall not
charge more than they did in the fall
of 1901 for similar services.

SITE NOT WANTED.
Little Foundation for Report of in
tended Purchase from Mexico.

Washington. July Acting Secretary
of State Adee denied that the United
States government has made any over
lures. or COutemplaJes any negotiations
for the purchase from the republic OF
Mexico of a naval site On MaSdalena bay.
in lower California. The government has
no idea of making any such proposition
to Mexico. he said.
The only foundation for the report,
Mr. Adee added. rs the fact that the re-
public of Mexico has recently consented
that the United States government may
permanently station a collier III Magda-
lena bay to provide coal for the American
naval vessels during the annual target
practices. For several years, through tho
courtesy of the Mexican government, our
war vessels have assembled in MaEda-
lena bay for target practice, and there
has been absolutely no change in this
arrangement further than the fact that in
tine future this government will keep a
collier stationed in the bay"

Program for This Week.

HaywOOdS examination and crOSs-eX-
animation can hardly be ACCOMPLISHED in
less than three or four days. Meyer may
be disposed of IN one day. The week will
begin tomorrow with the reading of depO-
sitiOns secured by the defense in San
Francisco, COntrad1cttng Orchards claim
that he destroyed the Bradley house with
n dynamite bomb. With a supporting affi-
davit from Bradley, the defense will claim
the explosion was due to gas. Dynamite
experts will be introduced to swear that
the explosion of such a bomb as Orchard
claims to have placed on the Bradley
porch would have created far greater
havoc than was the case and that Ii would
have been impossible for Mr.. Bradley him
self to have escaped with only the few
bruises he sustained.
The state may indefinitely prolong the
trial by going into the Colorado labor
troubles on rebuJtal. The defense has
Orchard up the field by introducing testi-
mODy as TO the acts of the military and
the mine owners at Cripple Creek and
Telluride. The defense claims that the
calling out of the militia at Cripple Creek
was unwarranted and that the depOrta-
tions from Cripple Creek and the Tellu-
ride country were nothing less than law
less OutrageS upon the persons and prop
erty of the union miners The state un-
doubtedly will introduce testimony show
ing the conditions which prevailed in these
mining districts at the time Governor Pea
body proclaimed martial law.
In addition to the Colorado matters. the
state will undertake to contradict the
nesSes- This will require several days,
the attorneys interested being at a loss
themselves to say how many.
The progress made during the past week
was anything but encouraging. but this
was partly due to the holiday attending
the Fourth of July celebration. The west
ern cities vie with one another as to the
extent of their patriotic demonstrations
and this year Boise decided to outstrip all
competitors. The three days celebration
was filled with incident and entertain
ment The delay in the arrival of the San
Francisco depOsitions was also a cause
for delay last week. The attorneys on
both sides have assured Judge Wood that
they will do all in their power to hasten
the end of the trial. The twelve jurors
hardy. old farmers used to an active out
of-dOor life-are fretting under their long
and close confinement in the city.
