san Francisco, June 0.-The con- mntan Of the street ear strikers that tais hafd eitY to run a street. car in, was demonstrated yesterday when four different accidents happened, and as the result three people are dead and eleven others injured and in hospitals The wrecks are all directly attributable to inexperienced crews, and there is strong probability that the police will interfere and prevent the operation of cars down town when trf1iac is heavy, unless they are manned by experienced men. There are ordinances governing al- most everything else except the operation of the street cars. Auto mobile drivers have to pass an ex animation and qualify before they are allowed to take Il machine out, and there is no reason why the same should not apply in a general way to street car men.

When spoken to about it, Mr. Roosevelt said that he didn't think there was any danger to speak of but that he was following out the idea of Emperor Willian when that worthy said that the best guarantee of peace was large standing army.
 Tokio, June 10. The situation here is becoming grave. The newspapers, irrespective of political creed of alfilition are uniting in a demand upon | the government that an ultimatum be sent the United States that she must either apologize and promise to do better in the future. or fight. The papers everywhere are calling for the same thing. and yesterday, Viscount Toni, leader of the Japanese parlia- ment, in speech before that body voiced the same idea. He said in part: Japan wishes to stand before the world as fair minded, but she de- mands from the world the sane fair ] treatment that the other nations accord each other. This we are not getting in the United States. Can any of you imagine England, Ger many or France, or even Russia sitting supinely by and allowing their people to be treated as have our countrymen in that land across the sea. You can not conjure up in your minds such a condition, and why should we tolerate it? Are not our people as good are they not untitled to the same consid- eration, are they not as human, are ] they not more intelligent than the ignorant hordes of Europe who eros over from soutL ern Europe to America. And still these people are not mobbed' these people are Dot subjected to all kinds of insults, these are not legislat- ed against and prevented entrance. The time has come for Japan to de- mand for herself recognition as q peer of any nation on earth, and if we are not accorded that position peace tably, we should wrest jour right at the mouth of cannon or point oi bayonet. Let the leaders of this nation do all they can to arrive at a peaceable understanding with America but let them remember that we as 2 people stand ready to back them with deeds when words fail
