War UnthinkabIe.

Although certain newspapers have
spoken in a pessimistic vein regarding
our relations, have never attached
the slightest Importance to- these ut
terances, and with my knowledge of
Americas attitude during the Russo
japanese war, and of her relations to
us in our earlier and more modest
times, / have never thought of the
possibility of war between the United
States and Japan; such a thing is I'M
thinkable in this period of the world
history. 1 have not a particle of doubt
regarding Americas sympathy toward
us, and l fully believe that a satisfac-
tory solution of any questions between
the two countries will be reached at an
early date without much difficulty"

POPE Plus WILL PROTEST
Prince of Monaco Proposes to Visit
King and Queen of. Italy
While in Rome.

Rome. Feb. 6.-The Forthcoming visit
of the Prince of Monaco to Rome and
the arrangements for his entertainment
by King Victor Emmanuel are causing
wide discussion here. The vatican is
especiaIly interested in the announce
ments so far made, inasmuch as it has
placed a prohibition upon all Catholic
rulers visiting the quirinal during any
sojourn they may make in Rome. The
case of the Prince of Monaco is con-
sidered all the more grave by the
church authorities, because of the fact
that he has a diplomatic representa-
tive accredited to the holy see and has
been regarded as having such close re-
lations with the vatican that it was
some time ago asserted that If the pope
should decide to leave Rome for the
benefit OF his health the prince would
send his yacht to transport him to
Monaco.
Threats of No Avail.
The persuasion and threats of the
vatican having failed to prevail against
the prince's plans, 1t is now officially
announced that he will arrive in Rome
Feb. 90. and will the same day visit the
king and QUEEN and the queen dow
ager. The second day of his stay viii
be spent at a hunt with the king, and
on Feb. %, the prince will deliver a
lecture on oceanography, covering the
results of his more recent explorations
in the north. The evening of Feb. p
the prince will attend the state BAN
ouet at the quirinal and, it is an
nounced, viii take his departure the
following day without asking an audi
ence with the pope. In these events, 1t
is likely the vatican viii issue a note
of protest to all the powers, as was
done on the occasion of President Lou
bets visit to Rome.

Delighted to Return.
Il am not going to Washington on
any special mission, continued the
ambassador in an interview today,
but only as the resident representa-
tive of my country. l am delighted to
return 10 the city and country where

last in Washington as minister it was
an anxious period but l always recall
how my anxiety was lightened by the
friendship of the great American peo-
pie. l have always regarded the
Americans as our good friends, and
friendship in times of stress and diff

friends than the Americans, who all
along have believed in the justice and

Office Holders in Evidence.

The office holders faction was called
to order by the chairman of the state
committee, and they proclaimed them
selves as the regular party, but they
did not succeed in carrying out the pre-
arranged program. The Taft sentiment
was too strong for the leaders to hold in
check, and resolutions were adopted
endorsing William H. Taft for the pres
idency. On the other side of the hall,
the cOntesting convention took cOnser-
vative action and chose delegates I'M
trammeled by Instructions, positive as
suTance being given by Joseph n. Strip

CHICAGO, Oct. 2l.-Wheat opened firm,
with prices shade to 4 Sc higher than the
previous close The market was buliishly af-
fected by moderate advances in the price of
wheat at the principal European grain centers
and by Argentine advices, which claimed dam
age by the recent frosts. A number of leading
commission houses pounded the market the first
few minutes and resulted in quick decline of

they had previously declined. Throughout the
remaining session new tone prevailed and the
market closed steady at almost the top notch
The news from Argentina was the chief factor
although a number of other influences tended
to inspire buying. One dispatch claimed that
the injury to the Argentine crop will amount
to per cent Of the total crop. Rains were
reported In some sections of the winter wheat
belt, but the wet weather was still not SO great

however, was for rain extending from the Mis-
