JAPS MUCH INTERESTED.
Americas Stand Regarding Manchu
ria Variously Interpreted.

Toxic, April S.-Negotiations be-
tween America and Russia concerning
the administration of affairs at Har-
bin are being closely watched by ia
pan. The alarmist newspapers sug-
gest Japanese administration of South
Manchuria as the real object of Amer
lean action. The sensationalists con-
meet the coming of the American fleet
with possible future representations
concerning South Manchuria.
A Washington special says the gov
ernment has decided to oppose the
action of Russia and Japan in Man
churia. A dispatch from Harbin
quotes Consul Fisher as saying that
the American government on its own
initiative demands the abandonment
of Japan's present status in Manchu-
ria. These kilograms have aroused
much comment. The Japanese foreign
office, however, refuses to accept the
sensationalist view and said to the
Associated Press that 1t is not pre-
pared to believe that the American
government is opposed to Japan's
present attitude in South Manchuria.
1t is believed here that the report
quoting the Washington officials is not
founded in fact and is circulated for
the purpose of creating fresh cause
Of Ill feeling.

LEGISLATION UNNECESSARY
Emigration From India to Canada Will
Be Stopped.

London, April S.-As a result of the
conferences held in this city between
Mackenzie King, deputy minister of
labor of Canada; John Morley, secre-
tary of state for India, and the Earl of
Elgin, secretary of state for the col
onies, a satisfactory solution Of the
difficulty arising from the emigration
of East Indians to Canada has been
found. While no legislation to restrict
this movement from India will be
passed administrative measures will
be taken to prevent the Indians from
going to Calt1a These will take the
form of sending circulars to the Pun
jab and other districts in India
whence the people have been emigrat-
ing In which 1t will be explained that
the condition of the labor market
makes II undesirable for Indian work
men to go to Canada and that the
Canadian climate also Is unsuited to
them. Other steps will be taken to
counteract the work of the emigration
agents and regulations have been
drawn UP for the vessels engaged in
this trade that will make 1t necessary
for them to increase the cost of pas
sage. The present cheapness of the
steamship fare is today one of the in
ducements to most of the Indians for
leaving their country.

MAN HOLDS POLICE AT BAY
Kills One and Wounds Two Others
Before He Is Shot Down.

Montreal, April S.--For five hours
John Smith. a book agent, kept a
large posse of the Montreal police
force and a detachment of the fire
brigade at bay killing one constable,
wounding another and Chief Detective
Carpenter before he was finally shot
Constables Foucoult and Shea were
sent 10 "a Nance street with a war
rant for the arrest of Smith. With
out warning Smith opened fire with a
rifle, wounding Foucoult and killing
Shea. Assistance was summoned. Off
GERS were given orders to capture
Smith alive. Streams of water were
turned on both the front and the rear
of the house, but Smith once more ap-
peared at a window and fred at those
standing in front Carpenter was
shot through the hand and hip. Urged
on by the crowd the police disregard
ed the order to take Smith alive and
fifty men began firing. They then
rushed the place. Smith was found
lying on his bed, wounded in three
places, but none of the wounds ap-
peared to be mortal II is believed
that Smith comes from the Southern
states and that Smith is not his right
name.
The warrant for his arrest was
sworn out by Mrs. Pritchard, his land
lady, who alleges Smith threatened to
kill her.

AN AMAZING DOCUMENT.
Howard Gould's Reply to Wife's Suit
for Divorce.


New York, April 8.-Howard Gould's
answer to the suit of his wife, Kath-
crime Clemmons Gould, for a separa-
tion and alimony, which has been filed
In the supreme court, forms the most
amazing document that ever has fig
ured in a divorce trial in New York
city.
For the first time the name of Dus-
tin Farnum, actor, is brought forward.
In addition Mr.. Gould says his wife
was grossly intoxicated at many pub
lie places on many occasions; that she
consumed daily enough mixed drinks
to put several strong men out of bust.
ness; that at theaters, restaurants and
hotels she repeatedly behaved In a
scandalous manner while under the
influence of cocktails, highballs and
champagne; that she once broke up a
fashionable card party by biting her
hostess on the arm and that she
shocked a wedding party at st.
Thomas church by announcing that
she saw many old cats" present
Mr.. Gould's lawyers accused Kath-
crime Clemmons Gould, the former
actress, with having secretly met Far
mum in the summer of 1906, with fol-
lowing him through New England,
with accompanying him to his rooms
and with touring with him about New
York and Brooklyn in her automobile
and with taking him to the Hotel st.
Regis, where she then lived.

GUILTY OF REBAT|NG
Great Northern Convicted in New
York Federal Court.
TRIAL OF BRIEF DURATION

Evidence Confined to Proof of a Few
Necessary Facts and Arguments of
counseI-Sugar Trust the 5ene,
ficiary of the Low Rates.
New York, April S.-The Great
Northern Railway company was con-
victed of granting rebates to the
American Sugar Refining company by
a jury in the United States circuit
court. Penalty will be imposed by
Judge Holt. The shipments of sugar
on which the rebates were paid were
made to Sioux City, Ia, in 1902. The
rebates were paid in 1904.
The trial was begun before Judge
Holt and jury Monday and was COM
pleted within a day, including argu-
ments of counsel. The evidence was
confined to the proof of few neces-
sary facts and then rested entirely
upon the questions of law involved.
Judge Holt charged the jury and his

MINERS REMAIN IDLE.
Conference at indianapolis Fails
to Reach Agreement.
ANOTHER MEETING SLATED
Operators and Employees to Gather at
Toledo, O., on April IL, When an
Effort Will Be Made to Settle Exist
ing Differences.

Indianapolis, April S.-The confer
enee of coal operators of Western
Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana and
representatives of the miners of these
three districts and Illinois adjourned
after being in session for two hours.
No resumption of work in the mines
of the states represented was ordered
The next meeting will be held at
Toledo, o., Tuesday, April IA, when
an effort will be made to revive the
interstate agreement between the op-
orators and miners of the Central COM
petitiye field, consisting of these four
districts. The Illinois miners left at
once for Springfield to resume their
joint district conference with the Illi-
nois operators. President Lewis left
for Kansas City TO take part in the
joint conference of the Southwest
field. The Indiana mines are in opera
tion and under a resolution adopted
will continue to operate. Western
Pennsylvania and Ohio mines will re-
main idle until the Toledo meeting
Their resumption will be the first
question considered.
Illinois differences, 1t is said, will
be adjusted at the Springfield confer
ence now in session. 1t is probable
that the Toledo meeting will order re-
sumption in Western Pennsylvania
and Ohio about April 16. 1t is not ex-
pected that Illinois will attend the
meeting. Indiana operators may also
stay away from Toledo, but this is not
probable and 1t is believed an inter
state agreement for the three districts
will be established and the miners or
dered to resume work. The present
scale will, in all probability, be the
basis of agreement on wages.

Move to Insert Child Labor Law in
Appropriation Bill.


Washington, April 8.-When the
house met discussion of the District of
Columbia appropriation bill was re.
sumed. This was not accomplished.
however, without a roll call and in
connection with 1t the house was fur
nished with an amusing incident of
which Speaker Cannon was the cen
trail figure.
Mr.. Williams demanded a division
on the proposition to take up the Dis
trict bill, which was carried, 100 to 70.
Both Mr.. Payne On. Y.) and Mr.. Bart
lett (Ga.) were quickly on their feet,
the former asserting that Mr.. Will
Jams was resorting to dilatory tactics
and Mr.. Bartlett insisting that there
was no quorum
Later Mr.. Bartlett withdrew his
point and over the protest of Mr..
Payne the speaker himself ordered a
yea and nay vote. With the tension
thus relieved the members broke into
applause.
The supporters of the proposition
for child labor law for the District
of Columbia, as recommended by the
president, received blow when the
chair ruled out as not germane an
amendment by Mr.. Peters (Mass.) to
cover the subject. Mr.. Peters made

| WILL t.anhl lhE PRINCE
Relatives Of Anna Gould to Make No
Further Objection.

New York, April S.-That an agree
ment has been reached among the
relatives of Madame Anna Gould to
interpose no further objection to her
engagement to the Prince de Sagan is
reported.
The pertinacity of the prince, who
recently announced that he would
forego his plan to return TO Paris this
week, and the insistence of Madame
Gould upon her right to decide for
herself are said to have broken down
the opposition to the engagement so
that all except George Gould have con-
sented to it. The latter is the Gus
todian of his sisters property.
Mrs. George Gould is credited with
having exercised the tact of a diplo
mat in effeeting a reconciliation be-
tween Madame Gould and her rela-
tives. She is said to have undertaken
the part of mediator with such sue
cess that the objections of the men,
bers of the family other than George
Gould have been overcome.
