that they were dismissed, he offered

care to accept the offer. When asked
tonight what action would be taken,

that they did not know.

Berlin, July THE conviction of an
ultimate conflict between Japan and
the United States appears to be wide
spread in Germany. It is one of the
subjects certain to be referred to
wherever diplomatists and military and
naval officials and others accustomed to
follow international politics meet. The
newspapers agree that President Roose-
velt is earnestly trying to satisfy the
Japanese requests They agree also
that Japan asks nothing unreasonable.
They recognize that the difficulty lies
in the question of race, the economic
artagonism of the Californians against
the Japanese and the constitutional i'm
possibility of federal coercion.
1t is believed by many that the group
of ruling statesmen in Japan are pre-

View That War is Probable Repudiated
in Some Circles.
Paris. July 7.-President Roosevelt's s
decision to dispatch a feet of warships
to the Pacific has led the more SEN
sational newspapers in France to jump
at the conclusion that the situation Is
more delicate than appears on the sur
face. This view however, is absolutely
repudiated In responsible circles where
the, utmost confidence is expressed that
existing or future differences between
the United States and Japan will be
amicably adjusted.
Nevertheless, the possibility of COM
plications was foreseen when France,
two months ago, in the spirit of friend
ship, rendered her good offices with
a view to having Japanese and the
United States conclude an arrangement
covering all questions relating to the
Pacific
In military circles where the situation
is regarded from a different standpoint
the dispatch Of battleships is consid-
cred an elementary measure of pru-
dence on the ground that strategically
1t will protect the United States
against being caught mapping and dip
lomatically 1t will force Japans hand
if that nation harbors aggressive de.
signs.
A significant feature of the French
comment is that the possibility OF
trouble occurring is considered only
from the side of Japan The Soleil re-
CARDS the San Francisco incidents as
mere cloak to the real issue, which
1t thinks may be traced to the de.
termination of Japan to enforce hei
commercial supremacy in China anG

Washington, July THAT the Jap

the renewal of the present treaty with
the United States if this government
reserves the right to tinsert clause
in the compact excluding Japanese COO
lie labor from continental United
States, is indicated by semi-official ad-
vices purporting to give the views of
Foreign Minister Hayashi which were
received here to-day from Ctotaka
Yamaoka, the personal representative
of Count Okuma, leader of Progressive
party.
Mr.. Yamaoka, who visited the United
States in April and perfected an alli-
ance with the Japanese of the Pacific
coast for the purpose of bringing about
the overthrow Of the Saionji ministry
and the annulment of the exclusion
clause in the immigration bill, is au-
thority for the statement that Foreign
Minister Hayashi has received from
Secretary Of State Root preliminary
mote regarding the new treaty which
the two governments propose to substi-
tute for the convention which expires
July II, 1911 The draft of the new
treaty submitted by Secretary Root,
accordingly to the communication from
Mr. Yamaoka, called for the renewal
of article 2, clause 4 of the present
treaty, which gives to each nation the
right to regulate immigration. With
reference to the mote" submitted by
Secretary Root, Mr. Yamaoka says
that Foreign Minister Hayashi has is
sued an official confidential memoran-
dunn outlining the Japanese govern

limitation of immigration which in
substance Is as follows;
"First-That the government Of the

New York, July There is some
prospect for another American cup

ton again a challenger, according to
reports in yachting circles. When Sir
Thomas was In this country last year
he expressed a desire for another try

that the races would be sailed under

was told that il he would defer his

rule could receive a thorough test the
New York Yacht club would be in a
position to pursue the matter. Il Is
now stated that the yachting season,
young as it is, has gone far to prove

record NUMBER OF ARRESTS
FIELD DAY FOR POLICE
Forty-Seven Captured Satur-
day, Exceeding AnyDay
Since Dec. 10, 1900.

Reflected in the number of arrests
made by the New Haven police de-
partment this city must have been on
an unusually bad rampage last Sat
urday for in the twenty-four hours be-
tween a. m. Saturday and the same
hour yesterday morning forty-seven ar
rests were made breaking records for
any single twenty-four hours since
December 10, 1900, which registered
forty-eight Compared with last year,
which had but eleven arrests for the
same date, the total looks almost ap-
palling. AS result of the busy ses-
sion with the aid of some continued
cases set for to-day Judge Mathewson
will have fully fifty cases to act on in
the city court this morning.
Central station had the bulk of the
trouble and Sergeant Gibson with his
trustv helper, William Curran, worked
through the night without ceasing and
by SO doing disposed of all the business
of their own station and the tributa-
ries, Howard and Dixwell avenue pre-
cincts, in splendid style. The arrests
streamed in steadily and the work OF
licking up the records of each man in
order that the Judge may have a clear
statement of each mans police past be-
fore him this morning is a matter of
| time. The work was all done up brown
but the sergeant and Mr.. Curran had
to f6rego their midnight lunch to ac-
complish the result. Making out war
rants came later, and Sergeant Gibson
stated that he did not finish that work
until O'clock, while ordinarily there is
little doing after 1 or 2 o'clock.
Most of the charges were of slight
account, drunk and breach of the peace
being the leading offenses.

police department was much lighter

FARMLAND STRUCK
BY SPEEDING CAR
Harry Cooper, Who Was
Sleeping on Track, Killed
by Woodmont
Trolley.
JUST RETURNING
FROM SAvIN ROCK
Dragged Along Fifty Feet
by Fenders-Top of Head
and Scalp Were
Torn Off.

At midnight Saturday night an cleo
trio car whizzing along from Wood
mont to New Haven struck, dragged
along and killed Harry Cooper, farm
hand who was lying with his head on
the track. The accident happened half
way between the Colonial Inn and Ry-
der's Crossing.
The tracks curve sharply at that
point and so the headlight did not re-
veal the man lying on the track until
it was too late to stop the car. n.
Lawson, the motorman, did his best to
bring the car to a stop and when he
saw this was impossible he put his
whole weight to the fender thinking
thus to lift the man from the rails.
The fender struck the man on the top
of the head and he was dragged for
fifty feet when the car was brought to
stop. The conductor, G. H. Freed
man, and the motorman and the five
passengers got out Of the car and lifted
the man up, but he was dead. The top
of his head was crushed in and his
scalp was carried away.
Medical Examiner John F. Barnett
and Coroner Mix were notified and the
coroner ordered the body conveyed to
Graham's undertaking rooms IN this
city To-day it will be removed to the
home of Mrs. G. e. Lindsey in West
Haven, Coopers sister. He leaves a
sister, Mrs. Montgomery Rockefeller of
Orange, and another sister lives in
! in Poughkeepsie.
Cooper was about forty years old and
, had lived in Orange all his life. For
several years he was employed at the
Colonial Inn and last night he got of
there from the last car after spending
the evening at Savin Rock. 1t is thought
he walked up the track toward the
home of Frederick Ryder, where he
had been employed and becoming tired
lay down to rest with his head on the
track. The crew on the car which
struck him Immediately recognized the
man as Cooper, as 1t was the same
crew that was on the car which
brought him from the Rock.
Cooper was very popular with the
farmers and with the people in general
along the West shore. He was a good
workman and hts accommodating dis
position made him welcome every
where.

GREAT DAMAGE DONE
Heaviest Thunderstorms in Years in
New Hampshire.

Boston, July New Hampshire hills
and valleys and the neighboring county
of York in Maine, were swept to-day
by a series of thunderstorms of a se-
verify unequalled for years. No lives,
so far as is known, were lost, but sew
eral persons were rendered unconscious
for time and innumerable buildings
we're struck, five of which were de-
stroyed. In addition to the damage to
buildings, the cost for repairs to roads
which were badly washed will be very
heavy, while the hail and abnormal
rainfall with the high winds did con-
siderable damage to crops and trees.
The storm was felt with particular
severity in Concord, Portsmouth and
Derry, N. H., and In Biddleford and
Saco. Me.
