Mich Nichi's Comment.

Tokio, July 2.-The Nichi Nichi, in leader, regrets the necessity of being com pelled to write again on the American question in defense of rights of Japanese compa triots in San Francisco.
 Developments in the anti-Japanese sentiments" says the Nichi Nichi, show signs of progressive and systematic move ments aiming at the deprivation of the sources of livelihood of our compatriots. The last clause of article II of the treaty can properly be called into operation only after a law has been passed but no legal step has been taken by the federal gov ernment disabling the Japanese from en- gazing in the employment agency busi- ness. The action of the San Francisco authorities is unbearable. Neither Wash ington nor the Tolxio government can re- main inactive in view of the latest &C., tion of the San Francisco authorities against the Japanese. The time has come when the traditional friendship between both nations shall be demonstrated in some concrete form"
 The Nichi Nichi is owned by Kato, Vis- count Hayashi's predecessor in the for eign office. He is tried diplomat of more than ordinary calibre and is one of the trusted lieutenants of Marquis Ito. Dip lomatic questions that find expression In the Nich Nichi form one of the most important meters of Japanese sentiment.

 Late today the defendant company's s lawyers sought an interview with Judge Landis, and when informed that he was in the city went to the office of District Attorneys Sims, where a long conference was held. The attorneys for both sides refused to say anything further than that the conference was for the purpose of discussing certain courses of procedure next Saturday.

Sims that he was hot on the oil magnet 8 trail; that he has reliable information that MT. Rock efeller is in Cleveland and that he expected to obtain service on him tomor- roW.n

STORE C0LLAPSES
 52 ESCAPE DEATH
DOZEN FLY THROUGH WINDOWS
 AS WALL OF CINCINNATI FURNI- TURF HOUSE FALLS IN ExCAvA- TON WHERE 40 WoRkMEN ARE

Cincinnati, July 2.-Fifty-two men had a remarkable escape from death in the col lapsing of a four-story business block on Main street this afternoon, only ten be- ing injured and none of these dangerously. The accident was caused by the weaken ing of foundations by the excavation be- ing made at the corner of Ninth and Main streets for the new ten-story building of the Second National bank and the build ing that fell was that occupied by the office furniture firm of Levi & White.
 Its outer wall fell over into the exca- vation where the laborers were enjoying their midday meal. Forty laborers were seated around the excavation when the wall fell In the wrecked building were dozen other men, some of whom were shot out through the windows and wreck age into the street. That numbers were not killed outright seemed little less than miraculous and for some time it was be- lieved that several of those under the wreckage must have perished.
 However, the timbers in falling formed arches, under which the men were safely housed. Situated in the heart of a crowd ed business section but a few minutes elapsed before a large force of volunteer rescuers was at work. Not until nearly two hours after the accident was it posi- lively known that 10 one had been killed
 Isaac White, of the firm of Levi & White was slightly injused his steno- grapher Fred Miller, suffered considerably from bruises caused by being thrown out of the elevator through the wreckage into the street: Joseph Mcdonald, fireman, was strucf on the head by falling brick while working on the ruins. but the other injured were laborers. none of whom was said to be dangerously hurt
 The property loss is estimated at s120oo.

Unable to Find Him.

New York July 2.--Although Gfnf States Marshal Henkel has had. iss his possession since Saturday last subpoena calling upon John D. Rockefeller, presi- dent of the Standard oil company, to ap- pear as witness before the federal court in Chicago on July 6, the marshal was today still unable to find MT.

UnfTiendIy Act to Increase the
 Pacific Feet
SAYS AMBASSADOR AOKI
The Viscount Comments on Naval Boards Recommendation to the Presldent-No Action on San
 Francisco Incident.

Washington, July 2.-"Japanese would regret it as an unfriendly act if the Amer ican government saw fit to increase her naval force represented in her territorial waters on the Pacific coast, or even if she sent additional men-of-war to the assistance of the Asiatic squadron. She would look upon 1t as a menace or regard it with regret"
 These were the words of Viscount Aold, the Japanese ambassador to the United States, when his attention was called to- day to the published reports that the general board of the navy had recom- mended to the President that the battle ships of the American fleet be sent around to the Pacific coast. At the same time the ambassador expressed a great deal of interest in the stories printed, and asked if they were true He disliked, he said, to appear in the public prints when there was no reason for it, but he felt at perfect liberty to say what he did on this subject.
 The ambassador recalled that it is the custom and practice of nations to send vessels of their fleets in the waters of other nations and instanced the fact that very recently several Japanese warshps had visited American waters at the Jamestown exposition.
 For the moment the embassy officials are not contemplating any action in the matter of the denial of the intelligence office privileges to the Japanese at San Francisco.
 MT. Aoki reiterated today that that question can be taken in the court by the persons affected by the police board 8 decision, and if the decision of the judges is such as to leave room to believe that the treaty rights of the Japanese have been denied, then the embassy will take the matter up with the state department The question for the time being is one for the courts, he added.
 MT. Aoki said that the Nichi Nichi, the Japanese newspaper which has been mak- ing some adverse comment on the intel ligence office cases, does not represent the governments attitude on the ques- ton, and that some of it's observations were not just.

MOSCOW BLACK HUNDREDS

St. Petersburg, July 2-trom revolu- iionary sources there has been obtained and published full details of reaction ary plot to encompass the murder or Count Witte the former Russian premier, who represented his country at the peace negotiations at Portsmouth in 1905. Ihis assassination was planned by the Moscow branch of the Union of True Russian People, the organization to which the Emperor sent communication on June II. conveying his blessing to the ultra eaotionary party, and his hopes for tho success of It's purposes.
 The execution of the plot was entrust- ed to the leader of the Moscow branch, a man named Kazantseff, who came to st' Petersburg the latter part of May ana se- cured employment in a factory as d com mon laborer He befriended several ol his fellow workers and after announcing himself as an anarchist, he enlisted TOUT men to assist him in the carrying out or his commission It was planned to t,row bonb at Count Witte's carriage cror, inc window of cheap boarding house on Kammeny Island, while the count on nlS way tp dt'VH' '
 ing of the council of the empire
 The plot, however, was betrayed by the revolutionsts, which gave Count Wltts warning The four workmen continued to pretend loyalty to kazantseh in order not to arouse his suspicion. The day Tor the assa ssination was fixed, and that morning Kaznntseff had his attention at tracted to d wood in the vicinity of St. Petersburg. in order to get the bomb from secret hiding place. At this point the four men turned on Kazantseff and killed him. carrying out the sentence of death passed on him. The revolutionists kept the facts in their possession secret in order to aid the police in identifying the murderers of the young man who was found in wood of the suburbs of this city June H. with his throat cut and who was supposed to have been executed by fellow terrorists as q spy
 Through the aid of certain telephone numbers this crime has been traced to some well known leaders of the black hundreds in Moscow.
 Today the procurator of Moscow search cd the lodgings of KaZantseff and found considerable compromising material The widow of Kazantseff up to the present time has been ignorant of the fate of her husband II is hoped that the informa ton obtained will give q clue to the mur- der of Dr. Jolos editor of q newspape of Moscow, who was shot and killed last March by an unknown man and throw light on other murderOus plots. Count Witte today is the man most hated by the ultra -reaetionary party.
