AokI Will RETAIN his JOB
HAS VERY POWERFUL POLITICAL
sUPPoRT-sETeAck FOR
JiNeoEs.

Toxic, June %. - While. there is
unanimity of opinion here that Ambas-
sador Aoki is unified for his post at
Washington, and it is certain that at
tempts have been made to remove
him, he has very powerful political
support, and moreover, being the SEN
Tor in the diplomatic service of Wis
count Hayasht the foreign minister, it
would be very delicate matter for the
latter to recall him.
Unless strong proof can be furnish.
ed that Ambassador Aoki is persona
non grata at Washington it is not like
ly that Viscount Hayashi will take the
initiative in removing him from his
position.
There are rumors, however, to the
effect that the japanese ambassador
is very unpopular not only with the
Japanese, but among the Americans
generally, and should this prove true
his removal might be deemed neces-
sary despite the strong influences now
supporting him here.
Washington, June 22.-The formal
announcement by Viscount Hayashi,
the Japanese minister for foreign at
fairs, that Ambassador Aoki is to be
retained at Washington is regarded
here as clearly establishing the fact
that the present japanese ministry,
headed by Marquis Sajonu, has assur-
ed itself of the. support of both the
Unionist and Conservative parties il
its present attitude toward America.

ROCKEFELLER LINE TO EXTEND
FROM NORFOLK, Va. TO Pv-
GET SOUND.
TO Be Big FACTOR IN RATS
WILL GIVE NEW POWER TO BIG
COMBINE TO CONTROL
RATES.

Washington, June %. - Details Of
the proposed connections OF what is
described as the Standard Oil railroad,
to traverse the continent, were an
nounced here yesterday.
The plans are regarded as of great
importance to railroads and shippers
throughout the country, notably those
| along the line of the Northwestern
road and its connections
In interstate commerce circles and
among railway men the details are
noted with interest because the East
ern terminus of the road which is now
known as the Chicago, Milwaukee &
st. Paul. will be Norfolk.
Completed in Two Years.
The connections for this Standard
Oil road are expected to be completed
within two years. 1t will extend from
the Atlantic tidewater at Newport
News, Va. to Seattle and Portland, by
way Of Chicago.
It will give the oil monopoly a new
handle by which to control railroad re-
lations 1t will enable the Standard
group not only to make oil rates favor
able to their own interests, but will
place in their hands power over rail-
road rates in general, which, in con-
nection with their dominating inter-
ests in other railroad systems, will
make the Rockefeller coterie as abso-
lutely dominant in railroad financial
quarters as they are now in the oil
industry.
Gap to Be Filled.
There is one gap to be filed from
Toledo OF Detroit to Chicago, and it Is
said on the authority of a recent dec
laration of Henry H. Rogers that this
gap will shortly be filed by the pur.
chase Of a minor line that will be odd
cd to tho system.
The system When completed will
have main line mileage of about
$500 miles from ocean to ocean. 1t
will be next to the Siberian railroad,
the longest continuous main line sys-
tenn in the world under a single man
agement. It will be assured from the
outset, by reason of its Affiliations
with immense business interests. all
the freight it can possibly handle.
