A WICKED SCARE.
London Tribune Dcnounces Charging
President With Certain Words.

London, Feb. S.-The Tribune this
morning publishes an editorial article
on which it calls the wicked Scare,
ard repeats words that President
Roosevelt is said to have used about
the Japanese ultirnatunn. The paper de-
clares such wild talk never Will be
credited by responsible opinion in Eng
land land the denial of the President
given by our Washington correspond
ert disposes absolutely of these mis-
onicyous and unintelligent rumors.
No man could have argued more elo-
ouently or acted more reso!ute!y than
the President, the Tribune continues. to
insure that respect for Japanese I'M
migrants to which their treaties entitle
them. History shows that it is not an
easy thing for republic to coerce q
defiant state, but Americas credit as
bower is able to make its own pledges
respected, and above all President
Rooscvelt's reputation as a man OF ms
word are at stake in this question and
the President IS not the man to hest
tate.

TIRED OF WAITING.
Minister Leishman Startles Porte BY
Energetic Methods.

Constantinople. Feb. 7.-Wearied with
the delays so characteristic of Turkish
officialdom, Ambassador Leishman has
suddenly rised the question of the
recognition of the American schools
into prominence by communicating d.
rectly with the Sultan urging the ne
cessity of a prompt settlement of the
question. The ministers thus ignored,
have been stirred into unwonted activ-
ity by the ambassadors quite an unus-
ual step and the departments, acting,
it is understood, under orders from the
Sultan, have entered into active nego-
tations with the embassy.
These negotiations are expected soon
to lead to satisfactory results. The
question was settled in principle nearly
three years ago but the dilatoriness of
the Porte delayed the official ratifica-
ton of the agreement arrived at.

which would fall upon the policyhold-
ers. The company must now make
