HIS STAY HERE VERY BRIEF
japanese Ambassador Aoki Is
to Be Recalled.

Washington, June 1s.-A private ca
blegram was received here stating that
the Marquis Ito and the elder states
men Of Japan held 6 conference with
Foreign Minister Hayashi in Toxic
when, at the urgent request OF the
marquis, 1t was decided to recall Wis
count Aoki, the Japanese ambassador
to this country.
The statement was made In an au-
thoritative quarter that the Marquis
Ito and Ambassador Aoki have not
been on friendly terms for many years.
The officials Of the Japanese en-
bassy are ignoring the report from
Toxic OF the reported recall OF Wis
count Aoki. the ambassador to Wash
ington. They say they have no fnfor-
nation on the subject and discredit
the report. The ambassador would
not discuss the subject, pleading In
disposition.
Ambassador Viscount Siuzo Aoki
came to Washington May 3, 1905, so
that his services were very brief even
for a Japanese diplomatic agent.
whose official lives have been notably
short In Washington compared with
those of European ambassadors and
ministers. His official relations here
have been pleasant from the begin
ming. But looking backward over his
record 1t will be found that no large
accomplishments can be set down to
his credit SO far as the facts are re-
vealed in the published correspond.

LAST HOPE HAS VANISHED
Limitation Of Armament VIII Not Be
Discussed.

The Hague, June 18.-Although the
"pacificists" still insist that the ques-
tion of the limitation of ornaments
must be raised in some form before
the adjournment Of the peace confer
ence the last chance of any govern
ment coming forward to openly pro-
pose the discussion disappeared with
the knowledge that the government of
the United States considered that the
initiative belonged to Europe and not
to America.
M. Nelidoff's depressing utterances
at the opening of the peace confer
ence. coupled with the unfortunate
dissolution Of the duma at the very
moment the conference had assem-
bled, has produced expressions of re-
gret that President Roosevelt yielded
the initiative of the second conference
to Emperor Nicholas. The correspond
ent OF the Associated Press has heard
dozens of delegates specializing on
the differences In effect which would
have been produced had the keynote
been sounded by country inspired by
democratic tendencies. AS matters
now stand neither England nor any of
her Continental friends are ready to
move, lest the mere suggestion OF de-
batting the question of limitation of
ornaments inject spirit of discord
which would endanger the usefulness
achievable and possibly break up the
conference under circumstances which
would postpone another conference In
definitely Grimly, somewhat discon-
solately therefore, the preparations
for the real work are proceeding.

MAINTAINS HIS JURISDICTION
Insists Federal Courts Have the Right
to Pass on All Questions Relating
to Interstate Commerce Despite Ac-
ton of State Legislatures.

Ion OF State legislatures.
Kansas City, June 1s.-Judge Smith
Mcpherson of Red Oak. Ia, in the
United States district court here,
handed down an opinion growing out
of the conflict between the circuit
courts at Kansas City and st. Louis
and the federal courts over the en-
forcement of the Missouri maximum
freight and 2-cent passenger laws.
Judge Mcpherson retains and main
tains jurisdiction to adjudicate the
validity of the freight and passenger
laws of Missouri, including the
amendatory freight laws Of 1907.
Whether the temporary injunction
asked for by the Missouri railways to
restrain the state officials from en-
forcing these statutes shall be issued
and If issued whether 1t shall enjoin
the enforcement of either the passen-
ger or the freight laws, one or both,
will, the court says, be considered a
week or more hence. Judge McPher-
son said that his present view is that
the 2-cent law should be put In force
until it can be ascertained by actual
experience whether cents would be
remunerative In the course Of his
decision Judge Mcpherson says:
Question of State Rights.
"'That the states have the right to
manage their own local affairs will
ever be maintained. but 1t is too late
to talk about states debating to the
government or to riding down its
courts This is a nation. Interstate
commerce will not be interfered with
by any state, because for that almost
alone we adopted our Constitution.
The commerce clause will always be
upheld and the rights Of the citizen.
including corporations, will ever be
protected In their just rights under
the fourteenth amendment. These
are national questions and the SUI
!preme court will hold the scales OF
Justice on the evidence before 1t.
Il do not know, of course, and do
not state that the state legislature has
wronged the railways. That is the
case on its merits. But the railways
say they are being wronged and they
must have hearing on the evidence
and that evidence carried with the
record to the supreme court. And II
rpon the evidence they are being COM
PEELED to transact business at loss
no one need doubt the supreme court
will nullify the statute. If the rates
offered are remunerative the statutes
will be upheld"

Sebastopol, June 1S.-While Rear
Admiral Wren, In command of the
Black sea fleet. was cruising In a
steam cutter a torpedo boat fired a

i,OD|SORDERS RESULT
Dissolution Of Parliament Quietly
Received in Russia.
PROPOSE TO CONTINUE FIGHT
Manifestoes Charging Violation Of
Faith With the Country on the Part
Of the Government Will Be Issued
by Opposition Parties in the Duma.


st. Petersburg, June Is. - The
chances of the proclamation of a gen
eral strike in answer to the govern
ment's coup d'etat in dissolving the
duma are steadily lessening. The ques
ton Is now under discussion at G
secret conference of the central com
mittee Of the Social Democrats, which
is being held In Finland, but strong
current Of opposition is known to pre-
vail, not only on the part of the mod
crate leaders but also among the ad
herents Of the radical majority. A
fraction Of the moderates urge that
the government is now so strongly In
trenched that strike would be futile
and only weaken the prestige of the
party and involve the rank and file
and the industrial proletariat generally
in a series of reprisals and immense
pecuniary loss.
The conference, which is attended
by all the members of the lower house
will content itself with issuing series
OF proclamations addressed to the
peasantry, the army and navy and the
workingmen, accusing the government
of violating faith with the country by
altering the election law In defiance OF
the imperial pledges and appealing to
the masses to continue the fight to
overthrow the existing regime.
Propose to issue Manifestoes.
The Social Revolutionists, at a con
ference, declared against the proposed
strike and appointed committee to
draft an address to the peasantry, the
army and navy and the workingmen
The National Socialist and Group OF
Toll members also are contemplating
the issuance of manifestoes to their
constituents.
Telegrams from practically every
city In the empire announce that the
news of the dissolution of parliament
was received quietly and with almost
an entire absence of demonstrations
Even at Odessa and Kiev no disturb
ances occurred. The prefect Of police
OF kiev issued orders that no demon
strations on the part Of the reaction
lists or revolutionists be allowed and
that no open discussion of the dissolu.

out Russia, completely muzzling the
Liberal press.
The committee OF the lower house
Of parliament consisting OF twenty
two members. appointed to investigate
the charges against the Social Demo
cratic deputies. decided to issue Its
report posthumously. II came to the
conclusion that the evidence was too
weak to justify the suspension OF any
of the accused deputies. Even mod
crates like Professor Kuzmin.K Kara

favored the surrender of any Of the
culprits against whom there was def
mite grounds for suspicion, acquiesced
to this finding
