DEADLY FUMES
KILL -FOUR SEAMEN
SutfOcated by Burning Pitch in
Hold Of Vessel.

Boston, Mass, Sept. 2.-Succumbing
to the deadly fumes of burning pitch
and oakum deep down in the forepeak
Of the British bark Puritan as she lay
at anchor in President Roads, four
seamen were suffocated and a fifth
was partly overcome before he was
rescued by shipmates.
Captain Chapman sent Seaman Oh
sen down into the forepeak to stow
away sail. When the man failed to
return to the deck after some time
had elapsed, three other men were
sent down to investigate. Finally Cap
tain Chapman, convinced that some
accident must have occurred, ordered
Mate Hatfield and Seamen Robert and
McLane to Investigate. AS they reach
ed the foot Of the ladder they almost
stumbled over the bodies OF the four
seamen who had come down before
them. The stencil from something
burning was so strong that Roberts
was partially overcome and his ship
mates hurriedly assisted him to the
deck.
The fire was quickly extinguished
and the bodies brought to the deck.

Welt That Presence Of Two American
Fleets In the Pacific Was Causing
Much Concern In Japan-Reported
Recall of Chinese Minister Is Based
Upon An Alleged Interview Favoring
An American-chinese AIIiance-lm.
portant Developments Impending.
Washington, Sept. 2.-The secret of
Ambassador Takahira's mysterious
visit to President Roosevelt at Oyster
Bay last Saturday has become known.
He went to Oyster Bay TO sound
President Roosevelt on the question Of
q Chinese-American alliance.
Baron Takahira wanted to know
whether the president favored such a
compact. If not, he was anxious TO
have Mr.. Roosevelt give out a state
ment that nothing of the sort was con-
templated. He not only desired to get
the president on record, but wanted
the president to speak first
This explains his mysterious attitude
on Saturday when be told the report
ers that the president might have
something very important for them in
q day or two.
Baron Takahira, 1t is understood
told the president bluntIy that he mad
been ordered by the mikado TO inform
Mr.. Roosevelt that the presence OF two

causing much concern to the Toxic
government
This, coming on top of the agitation
In certain quarters for Chinese
American alliance, the baron said, had
aroused public opinion in his country
to such an extent that changes might
have to be made in the plans for the
reception of Admiral Sperry,s feet in
japanese waters.
ALI this has come to light in connec-
ton with the report cabled from Pekin
that the Chinese government is con
sidering the recall of Minister Wu
Ting Fang, the representative of China
here.
That developments Of worldwide i'm,
portance are impending is also indi-
Gated by the fact that Baron Takahira
spent Sunday and Monday with Secre
tary Root at his home in Clinton.
N. Y.
The reason for the reported recall
of the Chinese minister, it is believed,
Is based upon an interview or state
ment attributed to him and published
abroad, and particularly in Japan, in
which he was made to speak in favor
of an American Chinese alliance.
In this connection Minister WI, who
says that he knows nothing of his re-
call. said:
"I have nothing but friendly feelings
for Japan, and / was. therefore, aston
ished when it was reported of me that
l had said in an interview things
prejudicial and unfriendly to that
country.
"In that interview / did not talk on
the subject of Chinese-American al
lance. On the contrary, when that
topic was broached TO me l did not
discuss 1t in any way. but merely
said to the reporter. Well. that is in
teresting.'
''The statements attributed to me
were published abroad, and il may be
that the denials of those statements
which l issued were not published"
