Shown an Associated Press dispatch
from Toxic in which apprehension was
expressed regarding the future rela-
tions between his country and the
United States, tho doughty little leader
laughed The dispatch went on to
say:
Toxic June 3.-Leading persons
in and out of politics seem to
have a feeling of apprehension
regarding Japan's future relations
with the United States. Actual
aostility, however, is not tnought
of but it is considered mere that
the peculiar position in which the
federal government is placed In
regard to the state autonomy and
the defiant attitude of the labor in
terests against Japan's treaty
rights as manifested in the second
San Francisco incident make poll
ticians here uneasy.
Then the general baron laughed
again.

simistic in Toxic. 1t would do some
Of my countrymen good to take a tour
of the states as have done. 1t would
cheer them up. and show them that

Kuroki distributed between s400 and
$500 in gratuities at the Auditorium
Annex before his departure last night
for the west. He had been at the hotel
a week with his staff.
1t was f1gurd that the Japanest war
rior's money was placed in circulation
according to the following schedule:
BILE for forty-one pieces of bag
gage .......$ 20
Two common everyday porters at
SIS each ........... ......... ~
Two chambermaids, at $40 each. 20
Forty seven bellboys at IS each. 236
Twenty walters at s5 each ...... 100

Comes Out of Jap Treasury.
This money that the general distrib-
uted came out Of the Japanese treas
ury. He is a poor man, comparatively,
and the emperor pays all his expenses,
figuring that it will all come back to
Japan in increased friendly relations
between t',e two countries.
Pass Through Ottunwa Tonight,
Baron Kuroki will passs through OF
tInwa at 2:14 a. M tn1orrow on the
Milwaukee en- route to Leavenworth

IT is regretted that his trip through
Ottumwa is not at an hour when f1t-
little Jap hero. but as it is there will
be no reception and probably no one
at the station to greet the general who
led the hosts that gave Russia back
seat in the galaxy of nations.

Policies Of Indianapolis
Speech

Washington, June 3. Senator J..
P. Dolliver Of Iowa is expected to lead
the Presidents fight in congress for
the Roosevelt program as outlined in
the Indianapolis speech. The Presi-
dent wants laws passed providing for
the physical valuation of interstate
railroads and for the supervision Of
capitalization through the regulation
of stock and bond issues.
Senator Dolliver left Washington
after congress adjourned with the pur.
pose of devoting his summer to the
study of the problems involved in this
great question He had numerous con-
ferences with President Roosevelt re-
garding the additional legislation with
which the latter desires to supplement
the rate law and learned that this
would take the direction of restric-
tions upon capitalization. Senator
Dolliver went to Massachusetts to in
vestigate the operation of the laws of
that state on the regulation of secur-
tiles issued by public utility corpora

Roosevelt Looks to Congress.

OF course, the details of the Presi-
dents notions about railway valuation
and supervision of capitalization are
yet to be worked out He has merely
announced his views on the broad sub
ject and will look to congress to de-
velop them. in the shape of satisfactory
laws.
Senator Dolliver was the most con-
sistent champion the President had in
the rate fight. He clung to the rate
bill through all it's troubles on the
floor Of the senate. Dolliver was left
in an embarrassing position by the
Presidents change of position on court
review in the last days of the struggle.
but that did not affect his loyalty to
the President.

Statement of the Atchison.

There was a large increase in the volume
OF business over yesterday S. total, but there
was a somewhat significant subsistence of
activity whenever prices showed a rallying
tendency. A considerable portion of the
days aggregate dealings was, In fact, fur
nished by the transactions during the first
hour, when the market was in its greatest
state of unsettlement.
American stocks were decidedly weak in
the London market in the early part of
the day. but they scored some recovery
with the course of the business session. For
eign houses traded upon a faiSly large
scale in the local market and were again
sellers on balance, notably Of Southern'Pa-
ctnc and Union Pacific.
At the mornings low level Of prices the
average quotations of railway shares
showed declines well in excess of twenty
points from the mean figures quoted in the
early part of December. There was little
actual news relating to one stock or an
other, except that provided in the reports
the execution of exceptionally large buying
or selling orders.
The Atchison statement Of earnings for
the month of January created a rather dis
agreeable impression. as it showed in COM
mon with many other recent traffic re-
turns that a very large increase in gross
earnings had been largely absorbed by the
greater outlay for operating expenses.
Little more than a languid interest
appeared to be taken in the progress of
the Aldrich financial bill in the Senate.
although Washington advices were still
optimistic with regard to ultimate enact
ment of that measure.
