to him during his short stay, he said
that the Pacific was intended to serve as
a great highway for the use of mankind;
as highway 1t must be maintained, and
the responsibility of securing its free
dom rested upon Japan and America. 1t
was true that Americas responsibility
was the heavier, because of its more ex-
tensive area and population.
1.-THE United States" he said, has
nothing that Japan cares to take or buy.
On the other hand, the United States has
no wish to own any Of the fair acres OF
Japan. Each can continue to develop its
respective resources and thus exhibit
themselves to the nations of the world
not only as models Of the highest civiliza-
tion, but provide an untrammeled way to
come and go in this exchange of products
''The purpose and plans of the Japanese
people no one can question or doubt, and
it ought not to be necessary to continue
the repetition of denials from sources or
the highest authority in both countries
that nothing exists between them except
harmony and good will
In conclusion Ambassador O'Brien paid
a high tribute to the Japanese, and said
their rare qualities were well known to
the world. Japan's determination to make
a high place for herself among Christian
nations, he said, had the sympathy and
support of the entire world.

FINNISH REvoLUTIoNIsT IS
BANIsHEp
FINNISH
Associate of Americans in Propaganda
Work in st. Petersburg Is
Deported Without
Trial
BY Associated Press.


ST. PETERSBURG, Dec 2O--A delicate
constitutional question has been raised
by the action of the prefect of police of
st. Petersburg in banishing for three
years to northern Siberia Finnish editor
named Tiederman, who was arrested In
this city on October 20 in company with
Mr.. and Mrs. William English Walling
of Indianapolis
The deportation of Tiederman was eff
fected by administrative process without
trial. In his protest the Finnish attorney
general raises the point that Firms in
Russia must be considered foreign sub
jects. entitled to the usages of all civ
ilized nations, such as a regular trial
and opportunity to be heard in their own
defense.
The ostensible aim of deportation by
simple police order as practiced in Rus
sia, the attorney general argues, is the
removal of persons dangerous to public
safety, but this objection has been att
tained in this case by expulsion from the
country.
Tiedermans offense is believed to be the
publication of a series of bitter attacks
upon Emperor Nicholas. The second
Finn who was arrested in company with
the Wallings is being held for trial on
the charge of having taken part in the
big robbery in St Petersburg October.

CHICAGO, Dec. 2O.-Daniel F. Keller,
former captain in the Twenty fourth in

for forgery was reported yesterday, re-
signed his commission last February while
stationed at Fort Sheridan, Ill. At that
time he announced his intention of hunt

Prior to entering the army in 1896 Keller
had been a miner. His capture through
a detective agency was the elimination or

Keller last week filled in quartermas-
ters draft on the treasury of the United
States and presented 1t to the Hamilton

he endeavored to obtain through this
check was $92,500. The Kamloops bank

departure Quartermaster Weigei notified
