President TAFT Pleads
For Harmony in the 6. O.P.

NEW YORK. Aug. 29.-President
Taft's letter TO w. b. Mckinley,
chairman OF the Republican congress
sional committee, was made public last
night by the New York headquarters
Of the committee. The president In
the communication says that diner
ences between Republicans should DE
forgotten in the congressional cleo
ton and that 'all Republicans who be-
lieve in the party principles as de-
clared In its national platform Of 1908
should give the candidates loyal and
effective support. Ii this is done there
will be no doubt OF a return OF the
Republican majority"
AS 10 the tariff, the president says:
1t seems to me that all Repub-
licans-conservative progressive,
and radical-may we'll abide the
situation with respect TO the
tariff until evidence now being
accumulated shall justify changes
in the rates.
Mr.. Tafts plan for revision by con-
gress Of individual schedules, after
investigation by the tariff commits
sion. Is discussed in this connection.
The president reviews the more i'm
portant legislation enacted by con-
gress, In fulfllment OF It's promises,
and says 1T Is OF the utmost import
ance to make this campaign OF edu-
cation as TO facts and clear away the
clouds OF misrepresentation that have
obscured the real issues"
The president says never In his
tory has the Republican party passed
such useful legislation as was enacted
by the recent congress. He says a
Democratic victory would prove det-
riment 10 the country's prosperity; as
serts that the high cost OF living is
rot due TO the tariff, urges economy
in the governments expenses, urges
that the government retain control OF
it's lands to prevent monopoly, but at
the same time encourage private cap
ital, and says the Republican party
has the matter of the conservation OF
natural resources in hand and should
be kept In power in order TO solve this
question.

TAFT WORKS ON
LEGISLATION PLANS
Will Urge Congress at Short Session
To Pass All Bills Promised in
Chicago Platform.

BEVERLY. Mass. Aug. 29.-That
President Tar is not overlooking the
possibility that the Republicans Will
not control the next house OF repre-
sentatives. is strongly indicated at
the summer capital He is now ac-
lively preparing his program OF legis-
lation to be submitted 10 the short
session OF congress which meets on
Dec. 1. This will comprise all OF the
bills carrying out the party platform
pledges not already enacted into law
and every effort will be made by Taft
10 force them through.
In the past the short session has
been one exclusively for appropria-
ton bills and departmental measures,
but this winter this will be changed.
President Taft has already started his
campaign TO bring the insurgents and
regulars together, his plan of party
reorganization" recently announced
having been designed TO salve the
feelings OF the insurgents and get
them into harness for the administra-
ton bills.
The president wants to clear up the
contested schedules of the tariff /
and he made il plain in his letter to
the chairman of the Republican con
gressional committee, published today
that he thinks a special rule should
be adopted by congress which will
permit the revision OF the tariff on
the report of the tariff board, schedule
by schedule. without disturbing the
entire law at one time. He expects
opposition to such a rule, however
from the senate.
President Taft Is determined that
the bill permitting the federal incor
poration of concerns doing an inter
state business shall be passed at the
short session which by law closes al
noon on March 4 OF next year.
Ii Is admitted here that the con
gressional leaders have warned the
president that the prospects OF Re
publican house are uncertain and tina,
for this reason, If he hopes to keep
the party pledges, he may be forced
to get all OF his needed legislation
during the three-month session.

kicking act in the Gayety this week
that gives the name and most OF the

fair. with lots of slap-stick comedy.
The opening number is a farce en-
titled "Janitor Higgins, In which
Jeanette Sherwood and Jane Lebeau
do some good singing, together with
the chorus. The work OF Ed Lee
Wrothe, as Janitor Higgins, is clever
in spots. A speciality by Pearlson,
Goldie and Hall gives a chance to In

HERMIT KINGDOM IS
SWALLOWED BY JAPAN
Schedules With Korea Covering I'm
ports From Foreign Countries Will
Be Continued For Ten Years.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-The
treaty between Japan and Korea, by
which the Hermit Kingdom is annex
ed as a sovereign part of Japan was
made public at the state department
yesterday in accordance with an ar
rangement entered into with the de-
partment officials and Baron Uchida,
the Japanese ambassador TO the
United States. The treaty goes into
effect today.
Existing Korean schedules covering
imports from foreign countries and
regulations governing coasting trade.
will be continued for ten years. The
United States specifically Is acquaint-
ed with the fact that the copyright
and patent laws of Japan Will be ex-
tended to Korea.
The existing open ports OF Korea
with the exemption OF Masampo will
be continued as open ports, and in
addition Shinwiju will be newly open
ed, so that vessels foreign as well as
Japanese will be admitted and goods
may be imported into and exported
from those ports.
The treaty and the explanation con-
tain among others, the following pas
sages:
Notwithstanding the earnest and
laborious work of reforms In the ad
ministration OF Korea in which the
governments of Japan and Korea have
been engaged for more than four
years since the conclusion OF the
agreement OF 1905. the existing sys-
tenn OF government in that country
has not proved entirely equal to the
duty OF preserving public order and
tranquility, and. in addition the spirit
OF suspicion and misgiving dominates
the whole peninsula.
I'm order TO maintain peace and
stability In Korea, TO promote the pros
perity and welfare of the Koreans,
and at the same time TO ensure the
safety and Tepose of the foreign resi-
dents, il has been made abundantly
clear that fundamental changes In the
actual regime OF government are alb
solutely essential. The governments
OF Japan and Korea. being convinced
of the urgent necessity OF introducing
reforms responsive to the require
ments OF the situation and of furnish
ing sufficient guarantee for the future,
have, with the approval OF his majesty
the emperor OF Japan and his majecty
the emperor of Korea, concluded
through their respective plentipoten-
tia res treaty providing for the com
plete annexation of Korea TO the EN-
pire OF Jaran.'
