his medicine.

DOCTOR NITOBI SAYS JAPAN
WILL NEVER FORCE WAR

DR.. Nitobi also paid a tribute to
what he termed American love of fair
play saying there was not an in
stance in history when America was
not the first to take the initiative to
bring about justice in international
disputes. Taking up the two impend-
ing questions of immigration and the
Philippines, DR.. Nitobi said:
"At the time of the Philippine and
anti-immigration agitation in the
United States, Japan opened wide it's
doors to, protest. immigration prob
ably is a very delicate question for me
to dwell upon here in California.
Can't Afford to Quarrel.
However, it is settled. You are our
best customer commercially, and we
could not afford to quarrel with you.
We took the position that if the great
resources of California could be devel.
oped without our laborers and you did
not want them, we would not force
them upon you. Thousands returned
home.
Americans were afraid Japan would
steal the Philippines. Japan replied,
eff you would give us the Philippines
free, or even with dowry, we would
say, No, thank you; we have enough
to attend to in Corea."' 1t required
no treaty to settle these thinls. We
thought gentleman's agreement was
sufficient. We have not broken that
agreement.
Other Americans said, j ,pan will
steal our trade in Manchuria.' Well"
he added humorously, 81 only wish the
United States had enough trade in

RHEUMATISM.

Chronic rheumatism often attacks
the larger joints. Internal treatment
of any kind would be worse than use
less, but by applying 'Chamberlain's

some relief at once and by contin-

KIEV, Sept 15.-The assassination
of Premier Stolypin was attempted
last night under circumstances that
lent themselves to most dramatic
scene. The would-be murderer, who
described himself as a Junior men,
Der of a firm of lawyers and the son
of a well-known attorney and wealthy
house owner, NJ. Bogroff, chose a mo-
ment when attention had been with
drawn from the stage and centered
readily upon his first unexpected
move.
The day had been one of festivities,
in which Emperor Nicholas and 9th
ers of the imperial family had partici'
pated. In the afternoon the emperor
with NJ. Stolypin and others of the
cabinet, had witnessed the army
maneuvers in the vicinity of Kopy

CALIFORNIA; LARGE OIL
STOCKS A GREAT PROBLEM

There has been a steady increase
during the present year OF oil in
stocks. On September 1 the quantity
was in excess Of 100000 barrels.
But on the other hand the use of
petroleum as fuel and of its products
as a motor power in the mechanical
field is steadily increasing, with the
prospects for future extension of the
demand most promising. Among 9th
err items showing the trend of the
times toward the universal adoption
of oil and its gas as fuel and motor
powers attention is called to the fact
that the Naval Engineering Bureau is
contemplating the construction of a
vessel equipped with gas-producing en-
gines, which, it is claimed, as means
of propulsion are as far superior to
turbines as the latter were to the old
type of reciprocating engines. 1t all
depends upon the willingness of the
private makers of gas engines to CO.
operate with the ship builders. Owing
to lack of funds for experimental pur-
poses the navy department is obliged
to rely upon private builders of ships
and machinery to carry out any novel
idea such as this.
1t is proposed to invite bids for the
construction of a submarine boat tend
er, a vessel of probably less taan 1000
tons displacement, and the bidders
will be invited to submit proposals for
placing gas engines on the ship, the
gas to be supplied by a system of
retorts like those of a city gas works.
Thus the gas from the coal or oil will
be turned directly into power in the
engines instead of being consumed TO
produce steam. Wonderful economies
in cost of operation are claimed for
the new system, which is now being
tried out in a small way in Germasy
and England.
Oil at the Exposition.
The oil operators of this State are
taking up the matter of having the
great oil industry of California thor
oughly exhibited and demonstrated At
the Panama-Pacific Exposition. Among
others the supervisors of Kern county
have been considering this matter, and
propose to make that county's exhibit
at the fair the finest in the world; but
it is likely that some of the other pc
troleum producing counties WIN be
keen rivals for the glory Of making
the best showing. It is expected that
Kern county will take the iead by i'm
posing a special tax for this purpose
Oil men are taking active interest in
the plan, and it is said that they have
been assured that the oil industry will
be given better representation at the
exposition than at any other ever held
in any part of the world.
