missioner of Labor

OYSTER BAY, N. T., June 16.-Press
ident Roosevelt referred to Charles P.
Neill. commissioner of labor, without
comment, the various appeals which
have been made to him by wire and
mail to intervene to prevent the threat
ened telegraphers' strike. The position
is taken that no emergency exists sucn
as obtained at the time the president
intervened in the anthracite coal strike
but, on the contrary, the situation pre-
sented Is one where action by the gov
ernment, if taken at all. may properly
be initiated and directed by the bureau
of labor, of which Mr.. Neill is the
head
Attention is called to the fact that
Mr.. Neill has on his own motion acted
with more or less uccess in several re-
cent strikes. simply by making an in
vestigation and bringing to light the
salient facts in the controversies, his
reports being the basis on which a
settlement was later reached Whether
he will feel justified in pursuing the
same course in the present incident is
not known here, as the president has
given Mr.. Neill no intimation of any
kind. sss ~ X *. x. "

Rx Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
THE HAGUE, June 16-The dissolu-
ton of the douma and the promulga-
tion Of a new election system have
created profound impression among
the delegates to the peace conference.
The news reached The Hague this
morning and spread rapidly, becoming
instantly the topic for discussion. For
the time being matters pertaining to
the conference were forgotten. AL
though the dissolution of the douma was
anticipated by those who have been
closely following recent developments
In st. Petersburg, the fact that such an
event should occur simultaneously with
the opening of the conference was gen.
orally deplored.
There is general disapprovaI as to the
wisdom of the dissolution. The Russian
delegates at the conference were not
surprised at the news, having kept fully
informed as to the Intentions of their
lgovernment. They deny, however, that
| there Is any connection between the
governments decision and M. NeIidoff's s
utterances yesterday. Extra preeau-
tions have been taken by the Dutch
police to insure the personal safety of
M. Nelidoff. Ever since his arrival here
special detectives have been detailed TO
guard him, as the secret service was
warned several days ago that an at
tempt to assassinate him would be
made as he drove to the Hall Of knights
yesterday.
A demonstration against the peace
conference was held this morning in
a field on the outskirts of the city, but
1t was not a great success. The organ
izers Of the demonstration expected
that M. Gustav Herve, the leader or
the anti-military movement, would be
present, but he did not appear, telegraph
ing that he had been delayed on ac-
count of legal business. The speakers
were confined to Dutch orators, who
addressed about 1000 persons against
the idea that the various governments
really had any serious intention to
tighten the military burdens which
were sapping the energies of the
European states. The peace conference
they denounced as a comedy play with
which to deceive the masses.

Ambassadorto United

Toxic Paper Indulges
in More Fiery
Language
Says Insults to orientaIs In San
Francisco Arc Worse Than
Murder of Missionaries
In China
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
TOXIC, June 1.-THE Hochi says
this morning that 1t is very probable
that Viscount Aoki, ambassador to the
United States, will be recalled and that
Baron Kaneko will be appointed his
successor.
The Hochi Shimbun is the organ Of
Count Okuma, leader Of the Progress
sives, and therefore voices anti-gov-
ernmental opinion. The paper is de-
cidedly anti-American. In an editorial,
after commenting on the San Francisco
troubles as worse than the murder of
a missionary in China, which resulted
In the occupation Of Kiao Chau," the
paper said:
'Wfo would blame an appeal to the
last measure, If impotency to protect
treaty rights Is proved? We hope,
however. that Ambassador Aoki will
be firm enough in Washington to make
the government quickly take measures
to mete out justice to the Japanese"
WASHINGTON. June 15.-Baron Ka-
neko, whom the Toxic Hochi asserts
will probably succeed Viscount Aoki
as ambassador from Japan at this cap
ital. Is a former minister of Justice In
the Toxic cabinet. He was sent to the
United States during the Russian
Japanese war on confidential mission
from the Japanese government Dur
ing the Portsmouth peace conference
he is credited with having urged
Japan's agreement to the terms as
finally signed.

In controI-"No Politics."
Assert Leaders Of
Movement
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
DENVER, June 16.-Of greater and
more far-reaching Importance than
any gathering in Denver in years will
be the public lands convention, which
will meet at the Broadway theater
Tuesday next, and will be in session
for three days. Informal discussions
among the delegates already on the
ground point to the conclusion that
President Roosevelt's policies as to
western land and irrigation regula-
tions will be condemned by the con-
vention In a conservative, deliberate
manner, without mixing politics in the
matter.
Two states will virtually dominate
the convention. They are Colorado
and Wyoming. OF the 1000 delegates
from the four western states represent
ed. Colorado and Wyoming will have
about ABS and eighty per cent of these,
Is 1t declared, will be against the adj
ministrations policies with reference
to the public domain. Oregon, Idaho,
Montana and Washington, with nearly
200 delegates, will side in large meas
ure with Colorado and Wyoming.
James Wilson, secretary of agricul-
ture, will be expected to- attend the
conyention, but he has sent word that
he will be unable to come. 1t Is be-
lieved that either William H. Taft,
secretary of war, or George B. Cortel-
you, secretary of the treasury, may
come In place of Secretary Wilson.
The attendance of James r. Garfield,
secretary Of the interior; r. A. Bal
linger, commissioner of the general
land office; Clifford Pinchot, chief for
ester; D. A. Newell, director of the
reclamation service, and ]. A. Holmes

the federal administration, is assured.
Senator G. D. Clark of Wyoming
who fought the presidents land policy
on the floor Of the senate at Washing
ton, arrived here last night He will
take a leading part in the delibera-
tions.
There will be no politics in the de-
liberations," said Senator Clark today.
1.-THE questions to come up for discus
sion and action are not political They
have to do with the policies of the
president with reference to his admin
istration Of the public domain.
1--WE have had a good dose of bu-
reaucratic administration Of the public
domain. Now it Is time that we swing
back to the old mooring and consti-
tutional rights of the states. / am
satisfied that the president wants to
do what is best for the country, when
he is advised of the true conditions
and the temper Of the people of the

we are striking for"
