versation. A number of women have
visited them bringing baskets Of

AN INTERESTING STORY IS DENIED,
Alleged Repcrt Of q Speech by Senator
Dixon. of Montana, Is Declared by
the Senator to Be Untrue In Every
Psrticular--His Account Of What He
Really Said.

Anaconda. Mont Especially "A
special TO the Standard from Kalie-
pell says that the Atlantic feet was
sent TO Japan to the request of the
Emperor TO overawe Mutsuhitos sub
jects, was the statement made by
United States Senator Joseph M.
Dixon In an address at Kalispell.
Mr.. Dixon said II was known at
Washington long before the feet
started on It's spectacular voyage
around the world that the sentiment
of many Of the people Of Japan was
likely to bring on war. This senti-
ment was not shared by the ruler
and his councillors, but was 80 great
they could make no headway against
it.
Then II was that the Emperor de-
cided 10 ask President Roosevelt to
assist him In clearing the sdtuation
by sending large and imposing feet
TO strike terror to the hearts OF those
japanese subjects who insisted on
war with a power of whose immense
resources they knew nothing. It
was TO be an object lesson.
President Roosevelt was communi-
Gated with, and later the plan was
approved, and the great feet prepar-
ed for its trip around the world.
The object lesson, said the Sena-
tor, was successful, even before our
fleet reached the shores of the island
empire.

tive Of any government, as having
made any suggestions in regard 10
