KERN TALKS WITH SHERMAN Candidates Meet in Chi
 cago Hotel. SHAKE HANDS AND SMILE Pickpsckst Gets Purse of Demo-
 cratic Nominee. Republican Candidate With Nick Long, worth Makes Trolley Campaign
 Through Towns of Illinois
 Into Cannon's District.

Chicago, Sept. 29.--Accidentally but as a fitting preface to the scheduled meeting of Mir Bryan and Mir. Taft at a banquet here October '. John w. Kern, Democrftic candidate for vice president, and James s. sherman, Re- publican candidate for vice president, met today.
 MT. Kern, in a dark business suit and the latest thing in green fedora, was standing in the lobby of the Audi torium Annex when a bystander rush. ed up and asked to shake hands with ''the next vice president"
 Certainly, with pleasure" said MT. Kern "But to make sure you would better shake hands with that man over there-that one with the side whis- kers. That's MT. Sherman
 The stranger did as suggested and then MT. Sherman and MT. Kern be- gan moving towards each other and presently the long sinewy hand of the second man on the Democratic ticket was grasping the hand of his -Repub- lican opponent.
 They smiled generally. exchanged felicitations on the drop in the temp erature and other commonplaces and then started to catch trains.
 With the loss of the Big Four pass belonging to Mir. Kern and which was reported found yesterday, it leaked out that MT. Kern had lost 1t along with other contents of his pocket book at Connorsville, Indiana, on his recent visit to that city. MT. Kern believes that in the press of the crowd the wall let was lifted from his pocket.

will arrive at Yokohama on October II,
consists of sixteen battleships and six
auxiliary vessels, total of twenty-five
vessels, and the japanese reception
squadron will be composed of eighteen
ships, says the Japan Gazette. Thus
the American and japanese vessels
number forty in all. Moreover. foreign
warships in Oriental waters will assem-
bic at Yokohama about the same time
and anchor to the left of the Japanese
reception squadron. On that occasion
some sixty large men-of-war will be
seen off Yokohama, presenting an I'M
precedentIy grand spectacle.
Commander Yoshioka from the Yo-
kosuka naval station is now surveying
the proposed anchorage of the American
and japanese ships off Yokohama.
The anchorage of American warships
in Yokohama has been already settled

! tinental railway, or better arrangements
/ if possible, at minimum cost.
That joint work will be largely CEN
tered at first upon agitation looking to-
ward the establishment of another
Observation-Disclosures line of passen-
ger steamers via Hawaii; that Pacific
literature be disseminated from the
New York office, and a clerk employed
whose duty it will be to study Hawaii
and Australasia and give out informa-
ton and printed literature; that lit
erary bureau be maintained, if this can
be done at small cost, and newspapers
and magazines be supplied with facts,
write-ups, photographs, books of refer
ence and general information about
Australasia and Hawaii; that the CO.
operation of the railways and steam
ship companies be solicited in the print
ing and dissemination of folders de-
seribing tourist resorts in the Pacific;
that the New York bureau keep in
touch with the Australian bureaus al
ready established in London, and keep
them supplied with literature, etc., for
use in Europe, and to place on all out
going American or Battle-Ground pas
senger vessels.
Resolved, That for the general joint
work, until such time as one or more
additional passenger lines are placed in
operation between the Pacific Coast
and Australasia, Hawaii be not called
upon in any one year to contribute
more than $1,000 to the joint fund, nor
any Australasian State more than one
thousand pounds; that each of the Aus
tralasian States and Hawaii be urged
to maintain at home a perfect tourist
bureau, preferably supplied by the home
government, to see that the needs of
the tourist are looked after upon ar
rival; that efforts be made to secure
low rates of travel where there is a
tendency to overcharge, and that in
every way the several parties to the
joint work in America strive to more

than carry out the promises made to
tempt the tourist and settler Pacific
ward.
Resolved, That Percy Hunter be re-
quested to head and represent the joint
work in Australasia, and that A. H.
Ford be requested to act in the same
capacity east of Hawaii, neither to in
cur any expenses until so authorized by
the several parties to the agreement for
joint Hawaiian-Australasia work in
America and abroad.
1t is understood that Ford and Hun
ter viii at once begin an active cam
paign, the one in America, the other
in Australia. A plan to induce Frank
Clark to organize a round-the-Paciic
cruise ON one of the largest ocean-going
boats is the first upon which joint work
will be centered.
