can commander letter about the pres- ence of American marines in which he claimed that the Americans had noti- fled Nicaragua that if the Nicaraguan soldiers were withdrawn from Hondu~ ras the Americans would have to take military charge of the coast immedi- ately.
 Commander Fullam wired senor Fi- allos that no such statement had been made to the Nicaraguan authorities.
 Meanwhile. despite repeated reports that they intended to leave, Nicara- gua's army and fleet is centered near Puerto CorteE within few hours sail of Guatemala. The short distance maintained between the Nicaraguan and Guatemalan frontier is beginning to be remarked as significant.
 The recent extensive military prep- arations, which made it appear that there would be more fighting at Te- gucigalpa over who should be provis- ional president of Honduras. have been stopped by a joint conference in Amal- pa between representatives of Nicara- qua, Salvador, Guatemala and Hondu- ras. As result Generl Sierra, who was preparing to march on Tegucigal- pa. has abandoned his military expedf- ton and left the Honduran reins of government peaceably in the hands of President Davila.
 Guatemala's presence in these nego- tiations is surprise owing to the hos tility supposed to exist between Nica- ragua and Guatemala. It was an- nounced that Guatemala's presence had been desired ''to make more effective the plan of paciication in Honduras.

STEEL CORPORATION FAILS.
Court Appoints Three CO-Receivers to
 Take Charge of Property.


 New York, June 11.-Judge Holt, in the United States District Court, ap- pointed J. Van Vechten Olcott, repre- sentative in Congress from New York city; William M. Ward, former repre- sentative from Manchester, and August Hecksher, financier, temporary re- ceivers for thirty days for Milliken Brothers, a large steel manufacturing concern. Four creditors filed an in- voluntary petition in bankruptcy against the corporation yesterday. The receivers qualified in a joint bond of $500, ,000.
 The failure of Milliken Brothers is said by William Nelson Cromwell. counsel for the corporation, to be due to under estimating the cost of com pleting the company's plant at Meri- nos Harbor, Staten Island. and the de- pIetion of the working capital of the company The company is doing a large business and the plant Is running dav and night. The manufacture of steel will be continued by the receiv- CTS.
 MT. Cromwell says the liabilities of the company are about $6,500,000 of which $3,0O0, 900 is represented by first mortgage bonds. The assets, including the plant and real estate, is valued at $7,500, 900.
 Ebert H. Gary, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the United States Steel Corporation, says that Milliken Brothers were not indebted to the steel corporation.

NO DANGER OF WAR
SITPATI0N CHARGED TO JAPANESE
 INTERNAL POLITICS.
Secretary Root Declines to Talk, But It fs Reliably Stated That Japan Has Made No C0m-
 plaint.

Washington, June 11.--Secretary Root today positively declined to make any statement respecting the Japanese situation. This was done with the full knowledge of the uneasiness which ex- ists in financial circles as the result of the circulation of war rumors
 It may be said however. that the Secretary's refusal was based solely upon his unwilingness to accord the rumors official notice and not upon the belief on his part that there Is the least danger of war or even a breach of the friendly relations that now ex- ist between America and Japan. The fact Is that. in the official mind. the present agitation Is nothing more than the working of internal Japanese poll itics-a strenuous opposition party in Japan seeking for weapons to attack the party in power Is appealing to the populace and to the pride of the Jap anese to aqront the United States. The ground of complaint, 1t Is stated here, might easily be made popular in view of the population of Japan and the demand for admission to :creign countries for the coolie classes. In view, however, of the assurances that have been conveyed to the officials ere that Count Okuma's party in Japan (which is behind the present agita- tion) is not likely to secure control of the Government In the immediate fu- ture, not much apprehension is felt here. The situation was summed up by very high official today in the fol- lowing response to the question as to what could be said to allay tho uneas- mess in this country:
 If the administration has any Gear of trouble with Japan growing out cf the disturbances in San Francisco. 0 responsible official Is willing to admit 1t. On the other hand. the State De- pertinent officials profess to feel hope ful that everything will come out all right and that the situation bet wsen the two countries will gradually be- come normal.
 That Japan has made no complaint to the United States was the state ment made most positively in respon- sible quarters today; there Is no trou- ble between the two countries and there is no danger of war"
 The greatest fear is from the agita- tion carried on by certain newspapers in both countries and from this off, cials admit there is constant danger. Aside from this, officials will not ad- init there is anything which cannot be adjusted in the ordinary diplomatic way.

VALUE OF STUDIES
BRYCE's CONvOCATTON GRAFTON
 AT CHICAGO UNIVERSITY.
British Ambassadors Speaks on .What University Instruction May Do to
 Provide Intellectual Pleasures for Later Lffe.'

Chicago, June 11.-Ambassador James Bryce delivered the convocation oration at the graduation exercises of the University of Chicago today. The subject of the address was, What Uni- versity Instruction May Do to Provide Intellectual Pleasures for Later Life.'
 After the granting of degrees to the graduating class. President Hudson conferred on the Ambassador the hon. orary degree of doctor of laws.
 The Ambassador opened his address by commenting upon the fact that pro- auction and transportation, all over the world have been transformed by science, and. he asserted, the effect of science is also strongly felt in edu- cation.
 T ask you to join with me in con- sidering," said the speaker, "the value and helpfulness to the individual man of scientific studies and of literary studies, respectively, not for success in any occupation or profession, nor what may be called the enjoyment of life after university education has ended.
 Every one of us ought to have a second or inner life, over and above that life which he leads among others for the purposes of his avocation. be it to gain money. CT power. or fame, or De IL to serve HIS country or ms neighbors. He ought to have some pursuit or taste to which he can turn from the daily routine. Whatever the taste or pursuit may be, whether of a higher or common type, 1t is good for him, but, of course, the more whole some and elevating the taste or pursuit Is, so much the better for him"
 The speaker then asked his hearers to consider the question of what can h1 hU tnatrf1affnn n n pa science and what instruction in the human or literary pursuits can do. to instill such tastes or suggest pursuits. The human subjects, he declared, are best fitted to nourish and illumine the inner or personal life. Poetry and the imaginative treatment of human themes. he said, were potent in this direction.
 "The practical lessons would de- duce," said MT. Bryce in closing his address, "are that the ardor with which the study of the physical sciences Is now pursued for practical purposes must not make us forget that education has to do a great deal more than turn out a man to succeed in business. In the second place. students must re- member that in the study of languages and history, they must beware of giv- Ing exclusive attention to the techni- cal pathological work and to purely critical inquiries. Nowhere in the world does there seem to be so large a proportion of the people that receives a university education as here in America. The effects of this will doubtless be felt not only in the com plete equipment of your citizens for public life and in their warmer zeal for civic progress. but also in a true per ception of the essential elements of happiness larger capacity for enjoying those simple pleasures which the culti- vation of taste and imagination opens to us all"
