Attitude of Friendship.

II did not talk with any newspaper
men last night, nor did / authorize any
one to speak for me, much less make any
statement Furthermore, / have not dis
cussed the emigration question with any
one since 1 left Washington. nor have l
anything to add to my farewell statement
made by me to the American people
through the Associated Press prior to my
departure. / am returning to japan after
a long absence to confer with my govern
ment on various matters and to convey
20 the emperor the best wishes and ex-
pressions of friendship from President
Roosevelt and, 1 believe, the American
people.
"The attitude of Japan toward this
country is of the friendiest character,
but the immigration question and other
matters of policy between the two coun-
tries are for statesmen and diplomats.
and cannot be SO freely discussed in pub
lie"
The ambassador talked at length on
various topics, but declined to discuss
the Vancouver race trouble, the immlgra-
tion question in general or comment on
the transfer of the battleship fleet from
the Atlantic to the Pacific ocean.

today at a luncheon rendered him at l

tees of the local chamber Of commerce

reception at the japanese consulate for
Japanese residents of this city and the
bay cities.
Tonight Viscount Aoki and his wife will

HUNT MAN WHO
 FIRED AT TAFT
Shot Aimed at His Boat
 ArOuses Police.
WOMAN PASSENGERS HIT

Possible Lunatic on Bank of Ohio Rive
 CT Sent Load of Shot Directly at ls-
 land Queen, on Which Republican
 Candidate and Notification Comrit-
 tee Were Sailing n Distance Too
 Great For Leaden Pellets to Do Much
 Damage, but Two Persons Were
 Slightly Injured.
 Cincinnati, July 30.-The police of this city and the neighboring country are hard at work today trying to ina the person who fired upon the steam boat Island Queen, on board which was William H. Taft, the Republican candidate for president. A shotgun was used, and it was apparently the purpose to injure somebody. Mrs. G. B. Russell of this city was sitting on the hurricane deck, just under where Mir. Taft was sitting, and she was struck in the face and breast by five small shot. She screamed and faint- ed. A young man who stood beside her was struck in the hand by one or the shot, With Mir. Taft were the members of the notification committee and several guests, and they were on their way up the Ohio river. They were on the deck above where Mrs. Russell was and owing to noise on shore did not know about the shooting until aft CT the boat docked.
 TI. IcJopJ nuaan cfaqn1tnR slowly around the bend in the river at Dayton, Ky, and was well in the middle of the river when persons lean ing on the larboard rail saw a man wearing a straw hat come out of the cabin of one of line of shanty boats moored on the Ohio bank and delib- erately fire upon the boat. The dis tance was so great that the shots were almost spent when they struck. In an instant after the passengers saw the flash and heard the report Mrs. Russell screamed and fell back in her chair. Blood welled from wound over her left eye and another on her chin. Her husband was standing close beside her, but he was not hurt. He lifted his wife in his arms and carried her to the women's cabin.
 May Have Been Lunatic's Act. The officers of the boat believe 1t was lunatic who fired the gun. They have no knowledge of any person who might have a reason to fire on the boat, and it was not known definitely that Mir. Taft would be aboard 1t, so the officers, do not think the shot was intended for him. It was not until the boat docked at this city and Mrs. Russell, half fainting. was led ashore by her husband that Mir Taft saw her condition and made inquiry. Then he was told the Island Queen had been fired upon from the Ohio shore while passing Dayton. He expressed amazement and personally gave his
 sympathy to Mrs. Russell and her husband. MT. Taft placed one of the auto cars of his party at the disposal of the Russells. and they were taken home quickly. Unless blood poisoning develops Mrs Russell will be in no danger

THEY WENT TO CHURCH.
A si. of Strategy That Won For the
 Minister.

Minister.
 When Bishop Wilmer was rector of. the little Protestant Episcopal church.. at Upperville, ya.." said a Virginia minister, ''he was much worried by the nonattendance at service on Sundays of the majority of the young men of the community. On inquiry he found that instead of going to church they were in the habit of playing marbles for stakes. Marbles in those days. itl must be remembered, was a much more serious game than 1t is now, oc- cupying much the same position in the realm of sports as do billiards and pool In these days.
 Bishop wilmer. then a 'parson' not well known, determined to break up this practice. He himself had been an expert marble player in his boyhood. Accordingly one Saturday he came across a number of the young men en- gagged in a game. The good bishop asked several questions and finally challenged the lot to play him for keeps. They readily consented.
 Much to their astonishment, the young minister won steadily, and soon they had to go to the stores to replen- ish their stock. Toward the close of the afternoon Mfr. wilmer had won every marble in the town of Upper vile. Putting his winnings in a bag. he remarked as he walked away. Now. gentlemen, since you can't play mar bles tomorrow I hope to see you all at church And he did."-New York | Tribune
