He SAYS QUANTRELL LIVES
The Noted Guarrilla Chieftain Re-
ported Alive on Vancouver Island
Those in Position to Know Doubt the
Story-kansas Has Some
Relics of Him.

Victoria, British Columbia, Aug. 10.
William Clark Quantrell leader of
Quantrells guerrillas in the Civil war,
who, according to history, died of
wounds in a Kentucky hospital after
his raiders were cut up, is alive and
lives at Quantsino, on the northeast
coast of Vancouver Island, under the
name of John Sharp, according to
number of persons.
J. e. Duffy, timberman, who re-
Gently became interested in timber
land at Quatsino, says he recognized
John Sharp, who is more than 70,
wiry and gray as Quantrell, Duffy
having been member of the Michi-
gan troop of cavalry which cut up
Quantreli' force. Duffy says Sharp
admitted that he was Quantrell.
Sharp, according to Duffy, said he
had been left as dead, but instead of
dying of his wounds at Louisville as
history recorded, had taken a horse,
ridden many miles and disappeared.
independence, Mo-, Aug. 10.-Al-
though independence is a center for
Quantrell men, no one now living in
that city or it's vicinity has any per-
sonal knowledge of the death of
Quantrell, although all firmly believe
that there is no possibility of his be-
ing alive.
Judge A. j. Liddill of that city, head
of the Quantrell association, said Fri
day morning: There is not the least
doubt of Quantrell being dead. Mrs.
New. Ross, afterwards Mrs. Aquilla
Lobb, saw him die in the Federal hos
pital at Louisville, KY, and helped
lay him out. She afterward came to
this county and lived here many
years. She knew Quantrell so well
that she could not have been mistak-
on.

The table was coyer- ed with handsome drawn-work cloth. and center piece of pink car nations in cut glass vase ornament ed it, to which was added the beauty of candelabra and soft lights, and plates of the most tempting delica-
 cies. Here Misses Francis Water man and Roella Solmson did the hon. ors and served the guests with delic-
 ious coffee, coffee cake and other tempting viands.

SHIPS ARE TOUCHING
 THROUGH THE ATLANTIC

Sept 70 p-fhat the epoch making Lucania is blowing the mid Atlantic tonight at clip of zs 2-5 knots an hour. occasionally perhaps, squirting to a 26 knot speed. is the cal culation based on press cable reports from London. Wireless communication with the great turbine steamer is hour ly expected by tue local agents of the Cunard Line.
 Press cablegrams from London state that the challenger for the trans-A At lantic record had reported run or ool miles during the first twenty-four hours out from Queenstown. When 1t is recalled that during the first nine hours from Daunt Rock, the Lusitania, because of fog was enabled to make but 1sO miles, 1t is apparent that the other ss1 miles reported was covered at a rate of more than % knots an hour. The Lusitania is looked for at sandy Hook next Thursday night. If she makes the schedule she will have wiped out all records.

JAP TREATY IS IN SIGHT All War Clouds Are Disappearing. OFFICIALS sRE OPTIMISTIC Rioting Vancouver is the h.
 s direct Cause. Js srousht Face to Face With Fact
 That They cannot Discriminate Between Great Britain and s@ Uncle sam.

Washington. Sept. 1o.-That the exclusion treaty between Ameri- ca and Japan is measurably nearer realization than the most optimistic administration official could have believed forty-eight hours ago, Is the judgment of the members of the diplomatic corps here. This long-sought object is expected to be attained perhaps as an indirect result of the mobbing of the Japanese at Van couver in British Columbia last Satur- day night,
 Officials here deplore what they view as an unfortunate and unwarranted in traction of the treaty rights of thf Japanese, but they do not fail to psR- ceive at once the important beaEfhg that this incident would probably Shaye upon the negotiations betweeR9 the State Department and the Jspanese Ambassador looking to the drafting of e treaty that shall limit the incoming of Japanese coolies instead of allowing the subject to be dealt with in the present loose fashion by what amounts to semi-official undertakings on the part of the Japanese government to withhold passports to coolies coming directly to the United States.
 The belief that treaty Is now with ing sight is based on the conviction or officials that the Japanese government will now be brought face to face with the fact that as 1t cannot discriminate between Great Britain and America in the matter of demands for fair treat ment for its subjects and must by this time be convinced that the problem presented is really racial one, the only solution will lie in the formal rec ognition by Japan of the right to re- strict coolie immigration not only in America but in British Columbia Aus- .traIia and other British colonies
