called upon to form his government they

Granard a telegram in Bannerman's

Chippendale. He was somewhat IA

1853 did he remove from bystreet of

1t was fortunate, too, that there was
no one on the street at the time. Had
the explosion occurred in the daytime

"But the strangegt episode connected
with the event concerned the man
whose duty 1t was to keep watch on
the bridge during the night. His name
was Peter Knox. He was thirty-seven
years old. married and had two chill

chatted with him on the bridge. The

ARE LOST IN OCEAN

BUENos AYREs, Feb. 2O.-The Argen-
tina steamer Presidente Rooa, from
southern ports, according to reports re-
ceived here, has been wrecked between
Puerto de San Antonio and Pueto Ma
drin, on the east coast.
The steamer caught fire, and 1t Is be-
lieved that the crew and two hundred
passengers have persisted.
1t is reported also that the steamer
sank.
Press dispatches received here this af'
terrfoon state that the flames spread with
great rapidly and that the steamer was
headed into shore as rapidly as possible.
A panic prevailed and many lives were
lost, some of the estimates reaching as
high as two hunrded.
The Presidente Roca was on her way
north, from Puerto Madrin, to San Anto-
MO.
Later official messages, however, report
That the vessel sank, but that only 20
lives were lost.
Three hundred and fifty passengers and
members of the crew were saved, ac-
cording to these advices.
The Presidente Roca belonged to the
Hamburg-South American line. She was
the largest steamer trading regularly be-
tween Buenos Ayres and the southern
ports of the republic.

explained to his family that he had killed
his best friend. Zeabe said that the homl-

JAPS SAY AMERICA

TOXIC, Feb. O.-The special eorrespon-

continues to represent the situation as
most alarming. The specials claim that
the anti-Japanese sentiment Is rapidly

America Is general.
These specials, widely circulated and
coplsd. continue to sustain the feeling or
uneasfness OF the japanese people. Nichi
Ntchf a paper owned by K Kato, the
japanese ambassador to England. which
commented with great bitterness during
the earlier stages OF the anti-Japanese
LEGISLATION IN California. in a lengthy edi-
toriaI article today on the anti-Japanese
sentiment IN America says:
Americans continue to regard japan
with suspicion and this I'll feeling con-
tfnues Notwithstanding the scrorts OF the
japanese government and people to prove
the sincerity and cordiality OF their feel
fngs. This distrust extends throughout
Europe. II Is incomprehensible to our
people why America and Europe continue
70 regard Japan as seeking war. Two
wars were sufficient. We want peace IN
the future. War with America could only
be forced by the United States threaten
ing the independence of Japan. II is IN
necessary for the United States TO for

The article concludes by quoting the
text Of the Roosevelt telegram TO the
California legislature. expressing the be-
lief that the passage of the bin would
lead TO serious consequences The paper
contends that this message shows that

sensations TO him by Judge E. H. Gary
and H c. Frick, on behalf of the steel
corporation, as a business firm of real
Importance, in New York circles would
undoubtedly fail unless the deal could be
made. tss
From testimony of a number of wit
nesses, the report declares that the firm
of Moore & Schley, stock brokers, OF
New York city, was the one referred to
by Messrs. Gary and Prick. This is the
concern which managed the affairs OF
party of financiers who bought q major
ity. of the stock of the Tennessee COM
pany and held it until November, 1907.
!, 1t is asserted by the report that banks
in New York, some of them known as
Morgan banks, pressed loans on Tennes-
see company stock vigorously. and that
these demands were met successfully, I'M
til. fearful of the result on account OF
the business uneasiness in regard to the
Tennessee stock, terms were made
with the Steel corporation. 1t IS assert
ed that the syndicate did not wish to sell
it's stock but was forced to do so. After
giving much of the testimony on this
point, the report specifically denies the
assertion of the president that the mer-
ger was necessary to save any important
banking concern or business house In
New York.
Sarcastic references were made by the
committee report to the statement OF
Judge Gary and Mr.. Prick in their inter
view with the president, that they did
not want to buy the Tennessee concern
and that but little benefit would come to
the Steel corporation from the purchase.
From the testimony. it is asserted that
the Tennessee property is very valuable,
worth probably several hundred million
dollars and would give the Steel corpora
ton ultimate control of the iron ore sup
ply of the country and practical monop-
oily of the iron and steel trade of the
south.
1t is asserted by the committee that
whatever may be the supposed emergen-
cy no discretion is lodged in the presi-
dent as to the enforcement of the law. 1t
was found, in the opinion Of majority
of the subcommittee, that the presidents
communication to Attorney General Bo-

ed out that under the federal constitution,
