Ominous Facts About the Last Peace

VIII It Happen That
Way Again2

London. July 10.-The correspond
ent OF The Daily Telegraph at Tho
Hague sends IN a column dispatch
which purports TO reflect the viewR
prevailing there Of the japanese Unit
ed States situation. which he declares
to be more absorbing than the confer
ence itself. The correspondent says
that as a result OF his inquiries no
learns that the situation is really
strained, although both governments
are trying 20 conceal the fact. He as
serts that since June 20 the question
has entered upon an acute phase.
Japs Not Bitter bat Very Clear.
Japan has been sending the United
States extremely categorical notes.
stating without bitterness, but IN the
clearest terms. the dilemma that unless
Washington is able TO control Califor-
MIA Japan will consider herself free to
act directly against California. Moth
ing, however, yet has been exchanged
precluding a pacific settlement but
many OF the Japanese at The Hague
are Of the opinion that the japanese
| government ought TO act without delay.
and not give the United States time to
utilize her vast resources and economic
potentiality-a hundred fold greater
than Japan-to perfect warlike prepa-
rations.
Editor Is Profoundly Uneasy.
In an editorial article The Telegraph
says 1t does not identify itself with the
statements OF It's correspondent at The
Hague, believing them 70 be charged
with undue dependency. at the same
time, the paper continues, they are
made upon notable authority and
i they cannot be read without profound,
uneasiness. The Telegraph Is con-
WINGED, however, that the statesman
ship Of both countries will be strong
enough and the instinct of the two
great nations Sc ne enough to hold mad
chauvinism in leash.
Situation Is Dangerous.
"Nevertheless," the paper declares.
SIT is impossible to deny the danger OF
the situation. The present peace con-
ference, from its opening. has created
disagreement and friction tending to
make worse instead OF improve the re-
lations of the powers. The last assem-
bly, at The Hague was followed by
great conflicts; we can only pray that
the present one may not be succeeded
by more terrible calamities."
Points a Way 10 Peace.
} In conclusion, after a full discussion
. of the points of difference, The Tele-
graph declares it is not o color ques-
ton. but fundamentally an economic
question. 1t says further I'VE trust
our allies will take it at that, and real
ize that LIE point OF national honor
has been accidentally caught up with
the problem. but is not permanently
involved in It. ANY attempt to settle
the question by arms, whatever the
immediate issue. would mean soonor
or later a hundred years conflict"

London Theaters Charm.

One of the delicious treats London
offers Americans is the acting and &c
cessories of her theaters. The or
chestra stalls or balcony stalls are very
sumptuous and very roomy and are
evidently created on purpose to ap-
peal to hearty diners. The usher is
very tidy young woman in black dress
and coquettish cap and apron, pos
sessed Of a sweet face and still sweet
er voice. You pay her a sixpence for
each programme. The stage settings
are perfect i'll detail Best of all is the
elocution Of the players. From the
rising of the curtain even unto the go
ing down of the same, each and every
word uttered is as clear and tuneful as
the tinkle of a silver bell. You don't
have to wait till the middle Of the first
act before you can even guess what
the plot is about Under these unusual
circumstances the interest one takes IN
a play is greatly enhanced, and he
wonders why an American company Is
not as well drilled.-Travei Magazine.

JAMES M'PARLAND.

per correspondent who represents the
Pueblo Chieftain at Denver, was
called to the stand and questioned as
to a converse ton he had with Detect
i've Mcfarland in Denver last fall
Senator Borah, for the state, objected
to the conversation on the ground that
no foundation had been laid for it.
Judge Says "a Basis Is Lacking.
Clarence Darrow, for the defense,
who was examining Swain, explained
that the testimony was offered for
the purpose of showing that there ex-
listed conspiracy between the mine
owners and the PinkertonS to secure
a conviction and execution of the pris-
oner mcfarland approached this
witness in an attempt to manufac
ture testimony" he declared land |
believe we have right to show it."
Judge Wood said there was nothing
in the evidence that furnished
proper foundation for the introduction
OF such testimony, ana sustained the
states objection. The defense took
an exception and said it would later
make another attempt to secure the
admission of SWANS testimony. Coun-
sci for the defense is evidently count
ing on reaching the matter through
MCFARLAND himself, but it is quite
probable that the state will not call
MCFARLAND as a witness.
What the Defense Alleges.
1t is alleged by the defense that Nc
Parland told Swain he had a letter
from Harry Orchard saying that when
Haywood paid him for the Vindicator
| Job he took him to one Of the Denver
banks to draw the money, and that
! when they came out of the bank
| Swain was standing at the door and
saw them. It is said that Swain told
MCFARLAND he could not remember the
incident, whereupon MCFARLAND inn
| pressed him with the Importance of 1t
as evidence, and significantly urged
him to recall it and become a witness
| in the case.
