JAPAN ISN'T GOING TO WAR.
Has No Idea of 1t, Says Foreign Min
lister Hayashi.

Toxic, Japan.-The kilograms from
London reporting newspaper talk of
a possible war between Japan and
the United States, and that Viscount
Aoki, Japanese Ambassador at Wash
ington, had handed Secretary of State
Root an ultimatum, are received here
with laughter. Viscount Hayashi,
Minister of Foreign Affairs, in re-
Spouse to an inquiry, sent the fol-
lowing message to the correspondent
of the New York Sun
Japan has not the slightest idea
of going to war with the United
States"
The entire absence of warllke feel
ing in Japan is explained by Baron
Kaneko, formerly Special Envoy to
the United States, who said:
1.-The Japanese understand America
better than the Americans under
stand Japan. A great majority of the
men holding public positions here
were educated by American instruct
ors, and have long studied American
institutions. Now, through the press
and otherwise they are helping the
people to appreciate the difficulty the
Federal Government lies under in
controlling the action of the individ-
ual States. The American Govern
ment and people, with England, are
Japans best friends. War is I'M
thinkable."
Hon. Tokiwo Yokoi, Chairman of
the Committee on Petitions of the
lower house of the Diet, who holds
the most confidential relations with
Prime Minister Saienji and Marquis
Ito, president of the Privy Council,
says: War with America would de-
stroy the Anglo-Japanese alliance,
and Germany would step in, intrigu-
ing for Far Eastern position. ia
pan would be completely isolated. She
realizes that American and England
are her sureties among the Powers.
If Great Britain could not afford to
remain isolated it would be suicidal
for Japanese statesmen to endanger
Japans alliance with her or to alien
ate American sympathy

Festoon Necklaces in Favor.

Festoon necklaces, which are ''ali

The new necklaces are accepted as
welcome substitutes for jeweled dog
collars and ropes of pearls. They
would be a boon to scraggy necks

rwo HANGED IN PORTO RICO.

Governor Refused toInterfere in Spite
of Many Appeals For Clemency.
San Juan, P. R.-Francisco Bones
and Francisco Rivera were hanged at
San Juan. This is the first hanging
that has taken place in Porto Rico.
Many appeals for Communication OF
sentence were made by members OF
the Legislature and others, but the
Governor refused to interfere. There
is a strong sentiment in Porto Rico
against the infection of capital pun
ishment, particularly by hanging.

Royal Blue Hats.

For fine hats royal blue, verdigris
and Bordeaux are the very newest
colors. The first is made up good
deal in velvet, with sweeping brim,
high crown, and floating ostrich
plumes or marabout of the same
color, fastened by butterfly bow of
silver ribbon. Verdigris is success
fully mixed with rich red purple.
For instance, verdigris felt with an
underbrim of rich purple velvet and
handsome feathers of the same color
flowing from the crown. Bordeaux is
best used alone OF toned with other
reds, generally of lighter shades.

WAR CLOUD" A PHANTOM
Administration Condemns InfIam-
matOry Talks About Japan.
Toxic Laughs at Ultimatum Story
KaneI1o Says Japanese Public Men
Know Limits of Federal Power.

Washington, D. C.-There is no
diplomatic crisis in the relations be-
tween the United States and Japan
and no danger that there will be
war now or any future time, unless
certain unreasonable Californians,
aided by certain irresponsible news
paper publishers, provoke it. The
administration regards with undis-
guised Impotence the efforts of some
papers to exaggerate everything con-
nected with the relations of the two
nations into "crises," "scares" and
sensations" The administration is
convinced that thus far even the atti-
tude of certain Californians has not
strained the relations between this
country and Japan, but it condemns
in unmeasured terms infiammatory
utterances such as Senator Perkins
made to the Geographic Society in
Washington and Representative-elect
Hobson has recently given to the
press. 1t Is positively asserted that
there is nothing in the San Francisco
school situation to warrant even talk
of war; that the stories that unusual
military preparations are being made
are absolutely false; that the report
that steps were being taken to expe-
dite the construction of Notifications
in Hawaii and on the Pacific, beyond
the ordinary progress of such works,
is unadulterated sensationalism and
absolutely without foundation; that
the assertion that the maneuvres of
the Pacific squadron constitute
menace to Japan is simply ridiculous,
and that there is nothing to strain
the relations between this country
and Japan except the pertinacity with
which certain persons and news
papers persist in crying, WAR!
War;" when no war is threatened.

HUDSON COURT HOUSE BURNS.
Woman Drops Child Three Stories

Hudson, N. Y. Flames, which
started in the Sheriffs Office, de-
stroyed the Columbia County Court
House. All the fire companies were
soon at hand, but though they did ex-
cellent work the structure burned
rapidly
The third floor was occupied by
DR.. Charles Walker, and the flames
entered the dining room, where his
wife and young child were seated.
To save the child Mrs. Walker was
compelled to throw it from the win
dow. Several tiremen broke the fall,
and the child was not killed, although
it struck the stone pavement and be-
came unconscious. Mrs. Walker hung
by her hands from the window sill
about five minutes, until ladder was
raised to her.
The Court House was built in 1900
and cost about $150,000,

The Short Waist.

The change in the position of the
waistline is such radical one that
it has approached slowly, in order
that the eye should become. gradually
used to it; but just as surely has
it advanced steadily in popular favor
until now the short waist threatens
to become universal. Now that IT
has gained a footing it will probably
remain through another season or at
least start in with the early fall
models, whatever may happen to il
later.

SHOOTING in SCHOOLS.
Practice Is Given the Hearty Approval
of President Roosevelt.

Oyster Bay, July 16-President Roose-
velt has put his hearty approval on
public school rifle practice. In a letter
of congratulation to Ambrose ScharfeIl-
berg of Brooklyn, winner of the shoot
ing trophy of the public school ath-
letic league, he takes occasion to en-
courage the system of rife practice in
augurated by General George B. Win
gate, retired. That the letter to young
Scharfenberg may have as far reach
ing influence as possible it was made
public at the presidents direction. In
part the letter says:
Your skill is a credit to you and
also to your principal, your teachers
and to all connected with the manual
I congra tulate them all. Practice in
rifle shooting is of value in developing
not only muscles, but nerves, steadt-
ness, and Judgment under excitement.
, It is therefore OF value to every man
throughout his life.
THE public schools athletic league
has done fine work for the city and Tor
the country in introducing and promot-
ing athletics and a love for manly
sports in the public schools of New
York, especially as the league most
wisely allows no one to compete who is
not up to the passing mark both in
studies and department. 1 am especial
" glad of what it has done in esta D.
fishing instruction in rife shooting:
The United States has very small
standing army In time of war it must
depend for defense upon hasty levies OF
volunteers and it is prime necessity
that the volunteer should already know
how to shoot if he is to be of value
as a soldier In no modern war should
If be possible effectively to train men
to shoot during the brief period of pre-
paration before the army takes the
field In consequence the training must
come in advance, and the graduates
from our schools should be trained so
as to be good shots with the military
rifle. When so trained they constitute
great addition to our national
strength and great assurance for the
peace of the country.

Big SALE OF RESIDUUM.
The Uncle Sam Oil Company Disposes
of $4,000 Barrels of Fuel.

Cherryvale. Kan, July 16-F. w.
Feun, of Humboldt, today purchased for
c. A. Stannard, the crude oil shipper, of
Emporia, $4,000 barrels of residuum
from the Uncle Sam Oil company. The
price paid is about 40 cents per barrel.
This residuum is a by-product, the
oil having run through the refinery stills
and all the kerosene and gasolene eX-
tracted therefrOm.
Residuum is used for fuel purposes
and is said by many to be superior to
the best crude oil for fuel purposes. This
is due to the absence of water which
was all evaporated during the refining
process. Residuum is a thick black sub
stance much like tar.
The deal for the purchase of this resi-
dunn was made through Receiver J. c.
o. Morse. Not until recently did the
receiver know of this valuable asset of
the Uncle Sam company. Its sale brings
in approximately $4,000 clear money.
Mr. Feun said there was considerable
more residuum in tanks at the Atchison
refinery. This, too, will likely be pur-
chased Eight cars of this fuel were
shipped today and Mr.. Stannard expects
to ship five or six cars daily until the
entire order is filled. The Standard COM
pany buys residuUm of practically all
the independent ref1neries in Kansas but
this is believed to be the biggest single
purchase of this fuel ever made in the
Mid d-Continent field.
This is the company of which H. H.
Tucker, jr., now in the Leavenworth
Jail was promoter.
