REPORT DIScREDITED.
Seattle japs Disbeieve Revolt Plans
Are Growing In the Northwest.

Seattle. Wash. June n.-Reports
from Washington that a combination
exists between the Japanese of the
Northwest and the Progressive party
at home. are discredited here by both
the Japanese consul, S. HishimidZu
and T:rigadier General, o. f.. Wood,
who is here with the Kuroki party.
The former declared the report to be
absurd and without any foundation.
Mr.. Yamaoka," the consul declared,
has always been a member of the
Liberal party and there is no reason
why he should enter into any Combina-
ton with the ProgresSives. Reports
have entirely miSrepreSented the COLI
ference at Washington and can do no
good"
General Wood laughs at the idea of
any combination trying to bring on
war and says that the trouble is due
to the agitation of several dissatisfied
persons who thought they saw an OPP
pOrtunity to make some noise; that
Japan does not want TO go to war with
the United States. c. +. Takahash,
who represented the Seattle Japanese
Society at Washington, said:
THE whole question is too absurd
for comment. T can speak unqualifiedly
on behalf of the business men and mer-
chants of the japanese race. War is
not wanted and the trouble is due to
the agitation of a small party who
would like 10 disturb the high order
Of friendship that exists between the
United States and Japan.

der the direction of Adams, evidences
We're discovered that cleared up the
mysteries of several disappearance
Skeletons of non-union miners who
were believed to have been killed. but

1t is said that should Adams be
acquitted of the murder for which he
is yet to stand trial. the Colorado au-
thorities will requisition the governor
of Idaho and will try him on the
charge of the murderer Collins. There
is some belief that Adams may yet re-
peat his alleged confession. Counsel

depending upon Adams to confirm Or

of corroborative testimony.
