subject 10 confirmation by the expo
sition authorities Of san Francisco
and san Diego. which viii probably
bring about complete harmony among
Californisns looking to the holding of
the worlds exposition at San Fran
cisco. This agreement was submitted
10 the san Francisco exposition COM
mittee later in the morning and agreed
10 unanimously.
collier teIegrapHed the substance to

ciates here.

Tomorrow,s Primary in Nebraska.

Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 15.-Nebraska
voters will tomorrow engage in the
most exciting primary battle in the
state $ history. Because anti-SalOOnists
were able to force the county option
issue to the front, the forecasters are
out of business.
The senatorship and governorship
are the two big stakes. Gov. Shallen-
berger, because he signed the 8 O'Clock
closing law is the target of a bitter
fight on the part OF the democratic
"wets" who are lined up behind Mayor
Jim" DahIman, OF Omaha. The
new primary law makes the ballot
open, and permits republicans or dem
ocrats to vote with the opposite party.
Dahlman is claiming the support Of
thousands of republicans. Dahlman's
chances, in fact, hinge largely upon
his success in attracting republican
support, as the democratic drift OF the
past three weeks has been toward Shall
enberger.
Equally exciting has been the cam
paign between Congressman Hitch
cock and Richard l.. Metcalfe, Bryan's
assistant editor, for the senatorial NOM
nation. Hitchcock is favored by the
vets and Metcalfe by the drys. Willis
F. Reed, Of Madison, promises to be a
poor third in the race.
The republicans, meanwhile, have
been having troubles Of their own.
State Senator Aldrich is supported for
governor by the dry element, while ex-
Senator Cady is favored by the vets.
United States Senator Burkett is OPP
posed by Charles o. Whedon, radi-
cal progressive.
The denomination of Burkett. who
has the backing of the organization and
several hundred postmasters and fede-
raj officeholders, appears to be almost
a certainty.

FLOODS IN JAPAN.
Thousands of Persons Believed to Have
Perished-Danger OF Epidemic.

Toxic. Aug. 15.-Tokio's unpre-
cedented foods has already claimed
700 lives, according to estimates made
today, with the prospects that the
total deaths will run into the thousands
as the result of the destitute condition
of the sufferers and the inability OF the
authorities to render any but the slow
est relief. There is the gravest danger
also OF an epidemic sweeping the city,
as it is now certain that it will be days
before some Of the submerged section
can be cleaned and disiniected.
The waters of the 1onewaga river
have not risen since yesterday, but
the expected subsistence the moment
the crest OF food was reached, has not
materalized, and the suburbs, as well
as about one-third Of the city proper
are still under water.
The police and other city authorities
are making heroic effort to distribute
food to the victims by means Of boats,
but the service is wholly inadequate
and thousands are not being provided
for. Owing to the cutting off OF trans
portation lines, the city's food supply
is running short and the situation bids
fair to become acute.
Even the well to do people of the
city who have not been reached by the
flood are on short rations and will re-
main so until food supplies can be
brought in. The government is con
sidering the adysability of confiscatlng
the stocks of food now hand.
Reports that come in from other
cities show conditions elsewhere to be
nearly as bad as in Toxic. Yokohama
and Nagasaki have been hard hit and
the deaths there will into the hun
dreds.

Mayor Gaynor still Improving.

Hoboken, n. j., Aug 15.-The
condition of Mayor Gaynor was declar-
ed by the attending surgeons today TO
be excellent. While it is agreed that
he is not yet out Of danger, he is pro-
crossing to such an extent that the doe
tors are now willing privately to adj
nit that they expect an uninterrupted
recovery, although they say it is too
soon to make such an announcement
officially. The 9 O'Clock bulletin was
reassuring, as it showed that the tom
perature of the mayor and his pulse
were about normal.
1t was stated at noon that if the pre-
sent improvement in Mayor Gaynor's
condition continues he will be able to
leave hospital by August %.
One OF the doctors in the case ex-
pressed the belief this afternoon that the
mayor would be back at his work in
City Hall in six weeks.

Advertising Agency, declares his belief
that every Englishman thinks Germany

OF Korea which has been absorbed by
Nippon. Apart from these constant
menaces the Mikado's empire is now
suffering from flood and famine, from
which it will take time to recuperate.

Taft and Roosevelt.

Oyster Bay. n. Y. Aug. 15.-Fresh
from his conference with President
Taft at Beverly, Lloyd c. Griscom,
chairman of the New York county re-
publican committee, arrived here to-
day. When asked whether he carried
message from the president to Mr..
Roosevelt, he refused to reply directly,
declaring that anything he had to say
would have to wait until his conference
ended. One Of the reasons for his
| yi.t was to discuss with Roosevelt the
| p OPPOSITION that the latter be chairman
OF ibe republican state convention at
Saratoga. The call for the convention
is 10 be sent out tomorrow and GriscOm
is understood TO have been told by
Roosevelt that he will be delighted to
b tine temporary chairman and in that
capacity to sound the key note" in
his speech.
Friends Of Roosevelt believed that
GriScom was the bearer Of a request that
Roosevelt endorse before starting west
the new attitude of the administration
toward Cannon, Aldrich and Ballinger
and they expressed the: opinion that he
would be disappointed.
Roosevelt WIFI make his speeches
exactly rs planned, they said, and he
will cmphatically endorse what have
come 10 known as the Roosevelt policies
and the men will support them. He
will permit the Taft supporters to take

their prospective support of the pro-
grcSSive movement is concerned The
New York republican platform and
prospective candidates for governor
were talked over at Sycamore Till to-
| day. 1t is understood that GrScom
suggested the direct primary plank
should be emphatically and follow
closely the recommendation OF Gov
ernor Hughes. On that point Mr..
Roosevelt is expected to hold con
ference in New York tomorrow, with
jmcmherS Of the republican state COM
mittec who are to call on him at his

OYSTERMEN At ODDS.

Reports received at Newport News,
Yesterday. from the scene OF trouble on
the James river, caused the state oyster
police to delay their action against the
independent tongers, who raided the
beds Of the private planters last week
and tore up the stakes marking the
beds TongerS arriving at Hampton
from the scene OF the trouble report to
Oyster Inspector W. +. Lawson, chief
of the oyster police, that in the absence
Of the police boats from the James
river the planters have been moving
their stakes onto the natural rocks and
dredging the young oysters. This, they
claim was the reason the tongers went
on the warpath.
Inspector Lawson had understood
that the tongers merely pulled up the
stakes because they did not approve OF
the renting Of the bottoms to the pri-
vate planters by the state. Later in
formation caused a change in the pro-
gramme of the authorities, and before
taking any action they will give the
tongers ample opportunity to present
their side Of the case.
