DEPRIVED OF TITLE.
Deserted by the Teacher With

New York, Sept. 10.-Advices from
London state that the Countess of Nom
tignoso. the divorced wife of the King
of Saxony. is to be married there today

The countess, who was formerly the
Princess Louise Antoinette of TUSCANY.
archduchess of Austria, was married
in 1891 to Crown Prince Friedrich Au-
gust of Saxony. She had six children.
Her elopement in December 1902 with
Andre Giron, Belgian, the tutor of her

The couple wandered about Europe

CONFIDENCE IN CANADA.
Japan Believes Trouble Will Be Ad-
justed satisfactorily.

Toxic Sept 10.-The foreign Of
flee has received a dispatch from the
Japanese consul general at Ottawa
saying that the Canadian government
will express its regret for the occur
renee at Vancouver and take steps to
prevent further trouble. An official
of the foreign office said to the As
sociated Press.
1--WE have the utmost confidence in
the Cana dian government as We also
have in that of America. Commits
sioner Ishii's dispatch says that the
disturbance will soon be quelled and
that there is no reason to expect It's
repetition. Our information is that
this outbreak, like that ,at Belling-
ham and elsewhere is the result of the
Korean leagues anti-JapaneSe agita-
ton, created by false and exaggerated
reports concerning conditions in ko-
rea and the attitude and sentiment OF
Japan.
The foreign office is not disturbed
by the Vancouver affair, and is quite
confident that everything will be done
to protect the Japanese"
The accounts of the serious anti-Jap-
anese demonstration at Vancouver pub
Iished in the Toxic evening papers,
caused no excitement. The people, like
the government officials, regard, as fool
ish the idea of a troublesome complica-
ton. No editorial comments are con-
tanned in the evening papers,. A few
of the morning papers discuss the mat
ter dispassionately. The Asahi says:
"The agitation in British Columbia
against japanese labor is much older
than in. California, but violence has
been prevented hitherto by the firm at
tiude of rbe Dominion government. I'm
doubted1y, this prejudice has been re-
kindled by the recent California Incl
dents. The flood of Japanese coming
from Hawaii has also occasioned an in
crease of anti-Oriental agitation"
The Asahi points out the uselessness
of mob violence and cautions the Jap
anese against retaliation in kind. 1t
says that the Canadian government un-
doubtedly will take measures against
similar regrettable affairs, and con-
cludes as follows:
"Retaliatio will not rectify. Our
treaty with Great Britain extends to
Canada and our treaty with the United
States will be revised in 1911
other papers this morning say that
the affair is regrettable but causes no
excitement among the Japanese. A
special dispatch from San Francisco
saying that Ishii was stoned and forced
to take refuge in hotel is regarded as
the most serious feature of the affair,
but this report is not confirmed by the
foreign office.
