ORIGIN OF RUMOR OF WAR
Alleged Remark Of Baron Hayashi Is
Attributed to Secretary Root.
UlTImA1uH STORY DENIED At EMBASSY
Government Has No Intention Of
Increasing Naval Force on
Either side of the
PacInc.

WASHINGTON. Feb 1-secretary Root
positively refused 20 make any statement
touching the japanese situation In its rela-
tion to the conference which took place at
the White House Wednesday evening be-
tween the president and some members of
the cabinet and the California congressional
delegation. He does. however, deny the au-
thenticity of any OF the published inter-
views attributed TO him as to the imminence
of war. the state OF the treaty negotiations
or any phase of this subject which he re-
CARDS as one eminently unsuted for public
discussion at this time.
The Japanese ambassador declined 20 be
seen this afternoon. but the members OF
the embassy staff declared he had not au-
thorized any newspaper statement, on this
subject. The fact appears 20 be that
statement in the press cable dispatches as
cribed to Baron Hayashi. the Japanese min
lister for foreign affairs. TO the effect that
in event the courts upheld the San Fran
cisco school officials. then the matter OF
discrimination against japanese would re-
quire diplomatic treatment, was some
quarters enormously attributed to secre-
tary Root, who was put in the position Of
stating that he had received an ultimatum
from the Japanese minister for foreign af-
fairs. Mr.. Root denies that he has received
any such communication. and careful in
quiry fails 20 show that the alleged re-
mark of Baron Hayashlt has ever been com
municated officially to this government.
It was said at the Navy department today,
as an evidence ot the slight Importance
attached to the naval officers in the pres
ent discussion OF the Japanese affair, that
there was not the slightest intention on
the part Of the department of strengthen
ing the naval force on either side of the
Pacific.

The Pope Leads an Active Life.

The greatest interest is being taken
/ in a book just published by an anony-
nous author detailing the life Of the
pope. The details are of the most init
mate kind and show thorough knowl-
edge of the secrets of the vatican. The
! book is called Plus x and the Papal
Court" and l hear that his holiness is
well pleased with it's accuracy.
The pope has never led such an active
life as at the present moment During
the life of the late Dr. Lapponi he was
always very careful to follow the lat
ter'S advice, and accordingly worked
little, walked a great deal, dieted him
self carefully and abstained, as far as
possible, from giving fatiguing audi
ences. Now, however, things are diff
ferent. His holiness medical advisers.
Drs. Petacci and Marchiafava, are less
eXacting than DR.. Lapponi and, since
they take upon themselves to offer him
but little advice of any kind, he is able
to follow his own inclinations. Thus
Plus X on a large scale works really
nard, eats just what pleases him, and
withal finds himself in good health.
Just now politics occupy a great deal
of his time. Throughout the dispute
with the French government he has
worked without direct assistance Car
dinal Merry Del Val has been merely
the instrument
Every day the pope receives twenty
or thirty persons in private audience
and hundreds, or sometimes even
thousands collectively.
Music occupies the most important
place amongst the present pope's
amusements. Perosi composes for the
pope alone, and it is a frequent occur
renee for the maestro before handing a
work over to his publishers to submit
ii to his holiness, who not infreuuently
suggests notifications or improve
ments. Plus x is himself an accom-
plished musician. He is the possessor
of a rich baritone voice and is an able
eXecutant on both the piano and organ

Doing Good Work in the Way of
Reafforesting.

At the last sitting of Ne royal COM
mission on congestion iii Clare, Ire
land, Sir Francis Mowatt presiding,
and Bishop O'Donnell of Raphoe being
anon gthe commissioners present, the
Rev. ]. Halpin, P P, Scariff, strongly
advocated re-afforesting.
1t would, he said, give vast employ
ment, and would develop various Incl
dental industries. In other countries,
such as France and Germany, the work
of afforesting was undertaken some
times by the municipal authorities,
sometimes by private individuals, and
sometimes by the government. The
results had been most satisfactory,
both from the point of view of national
prosperity and as a means of affording
local employment He described the
influence of afforesting on climate and
health. He referred especially to the
experiments made by the Trappist
monks at Mount Melleray, who had
planted a large extent of the Knock
mealdown mountains. which they rent
ed at go cents per acre. They plant
ed at the rate of five thousand pine and
fir trees per acre, at an expense of
about $50 an acre. In the course of
twelve years the first thinning realized
about S175 or 5000 an acre, leaving
sufficient trees on the ground. This
matter was interesting for various rea-
sons. The commission might be aware
that the monks in time past, and nota-
bly, the Cistercians, were pioneers in
Europe in the work of land reclama-
ton, etc, and the Cistercians in Ire
land were only following the traditions
of their order 1t was an inspiring
example for others to do likewise, es-
pecially in a district like that where
they had vast tracts of mountain land
which were practically useless for 9TH
er purposes.
Continuing. Father Halpin said:
There is another reason why l refer
to this matter. A few years ago a
remarkable book was published, and
attracted a good deal of attention in
Ireland. An extraordinary charge was
made against the Irish people that we
were too spiritual and refined, and that
our center of gravity was not in this
world. and that our spirituality was an
obstacle to our moral progress. The
Cistercians of Melleray and Roscrea
represented the height of spirituality,
they were one of the strictest orders
in the church, they got up in the
morning to praise God when many
people in the world were about going
to bed. and they lived in the StricteSt
BtidilCt, anu YET we ullu lHeIn III llle
present, as in the past, the pioneers
in such mundane concerns as land re-
as in Melleray, building mills
as in Roscrea, and afforesting as their
of five hundred years be-
fore. There have been several replies
to Sir Horace Plunkett's book, but
think that no more eloquent and con-
vincing reply could be given than is
to be found in that concrete fact"

News About Richard Croker.

A reader of the New York Tribune
sends to that paper the following inter
esting description of Mr.. Croker, which
she found in a German paper:
Richard Croker, who won. the Eng
fish Derby yesterday, is a strange
character. AS a poor boy he went to
America from Ireland and made a for
tune in the mines. Then he organized
a political party to overthrow The cor
rupt leader, Tweed, to whom he was
related. After holding many political
offices, he incurred the ill-wilI of the
Democrats, who feared that he would
become a dictator, and he was over
thrown by a younger set, of whom Mr..
Roosevelt was one. This destroyed his
chances for the presidency, and induced
him to sell most of his property and
to return to his native land, where he
devotes his time to breeding horses.
His former home in America, Tam
many, in the state Of New York, is oc-
cupied by his sons, under whose leader
ship the party which he organized is
still conducted, in the hope that the
founder may be induced some day to
return.

retaries, but it need hardly be stated
that no money is staked on such occa-
sions. He is also a great newspaper
reader, scanning each day the columns
of Italian, German, French and occa-

The pope is extremely scrupulous as

three hours daily in prayer. He is a
brilliant conversationalist, and for
some time past has been able to speak
a fair amount of French; but among
his own relatives he invariably uses

Child Turninp PURPLE,

Mary Eighptz. three years old. OF
New York. is turning purple. The
doctor says she is suffering with a dis.
ease known as purpura hemorrhaglca.
The child's mother first noticed the
changing color three weeks ago. While
bathing the girl she detected small
purple spots on various parts OF the
body. Alarmed. she applied home
remedies, but the spots continued to
spread. The chlld's body presents the
appearance OF being tattooed Almost
the entire body is covered. with the
exception of the face, which thus fa.'
has not been affected. While most OF
the time the blotches are of a mellow
purple, they occasionally change to a
deep plum color or a dull red. Some
blotches are as large as penny, 9th.
ers are no larger than a pinhead. The
disease is probably caused by a rheu.
matte germ.
