The Koreans are my friends and so
are the Japanese said Bishop Harris
yesterday. "As a missionary 1 have al

was there for only a few hours and that
time I spent pleasantly. the greater
part of 1t with my Korean friends
there
In the course of a private CONVERSE
tion I expressed regret at Mr.. Stevens
death and / suppose my remarks were
repeated with variations. I regret the
present situation, particularly because
I was looking forward to meeting the
Korean colony In San Francisco. AS It
is am in the hands Of my friends and
you will excuse me IL I do not discuss
either Korea or Japanese at this time" ;"
There were other missionaries from
Korea on the liner and they all agreed
that the better element in Korea re-
gretted the manner OF Stevens death
Not that they approved of Stevens. but
because they realized that assassination
would not help korea's cause The mis-
sionaries say that they were treated
with the UTMOST courtesy Dy luc AC-
sponsible Japanese officials in Korea,
but were constantly held up and sub
jected to annoying delays and search
ing cross examination at the hands OF
minor Japanese officials. Many of the
Japanese Immigrants and the Japanese
soldiers when unrestrained by the pres
ence of officers have treated the Ko-
reans very badly. say the missionaries
KOREANS DENY PLOT
Through their attorney. Nat c. Cogh-
Ian. members of the Korean colony of
this city last night issued statement
denying that any plot had been laid
for the assassination of bishop Merri-
man Colbert Harris. and asserting that
the whole thing had been instigated by
the Japanese government for the pur-
pose of working injury to them A
portion of the statement follows
THE source of the information re-
ceived at Washington is no less diff
cult of discovery than Is the origin
Of Thousand other sly and malignant
perjuries which have from time to
time emanated from the Japanese gov

no danger OF his life but no thought of

Blue Blood of Baird
Flows in Fairmont
Falls Down Stairs After Journey
Through Vineyard Has Led
Almost to HosfiIities

The immaculate parble Wilderness Of
the marble stairway leading from the
lobby to the grill OF the Fairmont ho-
tel was stained with the royal purple
fluid that courses through the veins of
David Baird. when that wayfarer on
the primrose path OF dailiance took a
sorry tumble yesterday evening.
Together with Ed Barron. one OF San
Mateo's elect and clubmen. Baird went
on froiicsome journey through the
vineyard. From rosy chserfulness they
passed in varying humors to black dis
temper. Friends they met who were not
of temper suited to their own brought
hot words and bitter entanglements.
There were threats that closely ap-
preached the blood shedding stage. but
the fuming young bloods were success
fully quieted. An angel OF peace in the
guise of walter led Baird gently from
the grill to his room. Barron Sought
the seclusion of cozy corner in the
crypt.
The antagonized parties subsided and
a sigh of comfort escaped from those
who were watching for the impending z
combat. But Baird was not content with
the single solitude of his room He re-
turned to the grill. But the descent was
more rapid than he intended. He was
assisted from the blood stained marble
tagging of the concession floor and
again taken to his room, where his in
iuries Were treated.

WASHINGTON. April Ex-senator
Charles A. Culberson will be the

not nominated. If Bryan can control it.
The Bryan men have received instruc-

time when 1t becomes plain that Bryan
himself cannot be nominated.
1t is obvious that Bryan, whether he
can get the necessary two-thirds vote

therefore no one can be nominated

Bishop Merriman C. Harris of the
Methodist Episcopal church, who ar
rived from the orient yesterday on the
liner Korea, found waiting for him
a number of sinister warnings and an
armed guard instead Of the gentle
greetings of his church brethren. The
bishop had been quoted in the Honolulu
Japan's policy in Korea and as ex-
pressing sentiments similar to the
words that cost Durham White Stevens
his life In this city a few weeks ago
at the hands of fanatical Koreans. The
Honolulu Koreans, who read the al
legged interview after the liners de-
parture, cabled to their -countrymen
in this city with the suggestion. it is
declared, that they lay for the pre-
late when he arrived here
As soon as the Korea had passed
quarantine Surveyor of the Port Wood
ward went on board and notified the
bishop that his life was in danger. The
government, said the surveyor, had
placed the revenue cutter Golden Gate
at the bishops disposal and the sug-
gestion had come from Washington that
the bishop, who is on his way to Balti-
more, go in the Golden Gate direct to
the Oakland mole and there board his
train. A guard would be provided to
see that the bishop was not molested.
GETS WARNING MESSAGES
General Passenger Agent A. G. D.
Kerrell then handed the bishop sew
eral kilograms and cablegrams, all con-
tanning warnings from friends. One
Icabiegram, unsigned. was from Homo
lulu. Another cable was from United
States Minister O'Brien at Tokyo. The
cablegram from Honolulu was as fol-
lows:
Honolulu press quotes you indorsing
Japanese policy in Korea; that you in
tend communicating same to Roosevelt
and Root. Koreans excited and cabled
San Francisco. You will be con-
fronted on landing"
| Captain Berry. United States revenue
cutter service. commander OF the Golden
Gate, remained at the bishops side un-
til the liner docked. when an armed
guard from the revenue cutter came on
board. This federal protection was re-
inforced by Detective Conlan In charge
of squad Of plain clothes policemen
The bishop remained on board the X Korea
last night. dock. steamer and the
bishops person being carefully guard
ed The hour OF his departure will be
kept secret. The bishop will not sci
foot in the city. and any Korean who
approaches him at the Oakland mole
will do so at the peril of his life.

with Bishop Harris, in which he stated
that In the occupation of Korea by the
Japanese he saw the hand of providence
and that the Japanese were working
for the good of Korea.
