Bisbee daily review., 1907-08-11

A young man who looked like a clerk presented himself the other day in one of the central police stations and asked to see the chief commis- sioner. This gentleman not being at liberty he was shown into the office of the secretary. To him he made Gse of the following language in a very polite manner. but none the less to the secTetarHs growing astonish- ment: "Sir. have come to ask your advice. I have three dogs in my stomach. These good animals do not cause me any annoyance, or the con trary, am rather pleased to have them there for Diane, Claimant and Sans Socousse are excellent friends among themselves and are very freindly towards me But as I am a good Frenchman I am anxious to pay the usual dog tax for my three friends. But when I went to the mairie and told them of the three dogs in my stomach. they drove me away declaring that was mad. Now, assure you, sir. as you will see for yourself that am absolutely in my right senses-ro one more sol would like you to advise me what to do..
 The secretary under the pretext of having the young man taken to the Prefect of Police. sent him to a spe- cial infirmary for mental diseases, where he is now detained.

THE SITUATION IS
 REALLY STRAINED Says London Correspondent at
 The Hague JAPAN WANTS ACTION Representatives at Peace Conference Are Said to Advocate Early Move ment Against California If
 Doesn't Change.
JAPAN WANTS ACTION

London, July 9.-The correspondent. of the Daily Telegraph at The Hague, sends in a column dispatch which purports to reflect the views prevailing there of the Japanese-American situation which he declares to be more absorbent than the conference itself
 The correspondent says that as re- suit of his inquiries he learns the situa ton Is really strained, although both governments are trying to conceal the fact. He asserts that since June 20 the question has eneered upon an acute phase. Japan has been sending the United States extremely categorical notes, stating with out bitterness, but in the clearest terms the dilemma, tha unless Washington Is able to control the situation in San Fran cisco, Japan. will consider herself free to act directly against California. Moth ing, however, yet has been exchanged precluding a pacific settlement, but many of the Japanese at The Hague are of the opinion that the Japanese government ought to act without delay and not give America time to utilize her vast re- sources and economic potentiality, hun dred times greater than Japan's, to per feet warlike preparations.
 III an eQlIOTldi dTllClS ln6 says 1t does not identify itself with the statements of Its correspondent at The Hague, believing them to be charged with undue despondency.
 At the same time, the paper continues, they are made up on notable authority, and they cannot be read without pro- found uneasiness. The Telegraph is con vinced, however that the statesmanship of both countries will be strong enough to hold mad chauvinism In check.
 Nevertheless" the paper declares, 'it Is impossible to deny the danger of the situation. The present peace conference from its opening, has created disagree ment and friction tending to make worse instead of improving the relations of the powers. The last assembly to The Hague was followed by great conflicts, we can only pray that the present one may not be succeeded by more terrible calamities." |" In conclusion, after a full discussion of the points of differences, the Tele- graph declares it is not a color question, but fundamentally an economic question. It says further:
 We trust our allies will take it at that and realize that the point of na- tional honor has been accidentally caught up with the problem but Is not perma- nently involved in 1t. Any attempt to settle the question by arms, whatever the immediate issue, would mean sooner or later, hundred years conflict"

APPEAL MADE TO
 DROP GOLD BRICK
ANTl-lMPERIALlST LEAGUE ADJ VISES QUICK ACTION AGAINST CONTINUED RETENTION OF THE PHILIPPINEs-BURoEN FELT.

Boston, Mass. July s.-The Anti-Im- perialist League today made an appeal for action against the eontiued and iu- definite retention of the Philippine Isl- ands." the appeal says in part:
 "The immense and unprohtable burden of these possessions has never been felt more strongly than today, but, in the popular apprehension that the United States might become involved in war, 1t Is now realized that their defense would demand an almost impossible mili- tary and naval force on the other side of the globe. The absurdity of an enor- nous sacr1c of life and treasure to defend a territory whose inhabitants are discontented with their relations to the United States, are conditions which are deplored by the great majority of our own liberty loving citizens; has become patent. A sale to aJpan, has been sug- gested in many quarters, as a method of escaping from the dilemma, but, to sell the million people and their homes to any one, is clearly immoral and contrary to American principles.
 There Is one simple, just and practi- cal method of relief for both countries, which we urge with renewed emphasis. viz: A pledge of early and complete independence to the Philippines together With a naturalization by all the great powers Including Japan It is clearly dem onstrated that there Is a large and in fiuential class of educated Filipinos, who are able to guide themselves in their government"
 The appeal Is signed by Morefield Story as president, and Frying WinsloW as secretary of the league

UNION OPPOSES
 SENDING FLEET
Resolution Is Adopted Calling On President to. Withhold Warilke
 Demonstration.

Philadelphia, July s-The executive committee of the Universal Peace Union at a meeting here tonight placed itself on record as opposing the sending of a fleet of warships to the Pacific ocean. The committee made the following resolutions
 Tn view of the feeling existing in the international relations between aJpan and the United States, we regard the proposition as reported. of sending a fleet of battleships to tho Pacific border, as unwlse, inopportune and irritating, especially as 0 blunder as the peace con ference Is now in session at The Hague, where are assembled over 250 delegates representing forty-five governments, with a large and eminently able delegation from the United States and with repre- sentatives from Japan
 Relieving that such action is calcu- lated to impair. if not to destroy, the anticipated results of said conference and lead more to war than to peace, we appeal to President Roosevela to withhold any such demonstration
