KNOX WILL PAY
VISIT TO JAPAN
Secretary Of State to Go to
Mikado's Funeral.
OTHER IMPORTANT DUTIES.


washington. For the first time in
the history Of the United States the
Secretary OF State was designated as
special ambassador to foreign
power.
President Taft has assigned Secre-
tary Of State Knox as special ambas-
sador to Japan to attend the funeral
Of the late Emperor Mutsuhito on Sep
tcmber IL, with the statement that
the mission was given to the premier
of the Cabinet as an evidence Of the
American friendship for Japan. When
Viscount Chinda, Japanese Ambassa-
dor to Washington, heard Of the mis-
sion, he asserted that it would be
taken by the Japanese people and
government az an act Of the greatest
courtesy and one calculated to make
even warmer and more cordial the
existing relations between the two
governments.
At present the United States and
Japan are vitality interested in several
important diplomatic matters. includ-
ing the great international loan, soon
public; the naturalization of the future
railway systems of Manchuria: the
development Of Manchuria and Mon
golia by the aid of outside capital;
the treatment of American mission
aries in Korea and the use of the
Panama Canal by Japanese ships.
All Of these matters more or less
are pending between the two nations,
and the present foreign minister Of
Japan. Viscount Uchida. who was
formerly ambassador to Washington,
q personal friend Of Secretary Knox
and the Secretary, are interested in
all Of them.
For some time Secretary Knox, in
view Of the slow progress of diplo-
matte procedure. has contemplated a
personal visit to Japan as q means of
reaching in short time complete
understanding with the Japanese gov
eminent. The assumption of the Office
of minister of foreign affairs by his
friend Baron Uchida promised to
facilitate an easy exchange Of honest
views regarding the policies of the
two countries. Thus the Secretary,
having concluded his duties as fu-
neral ambassador, may find an oppor-
tunity to discuss these questions Of
policy with the Japanese foreign
minister.
Secretary Knox will be accompanied
on his mission by Mrs. Knox. AS
aides he will have major general of
the Army and rear admiral Of the
Navy to be selected. Richard s. Mil
Ter, chief of the Far Eastern Division
Of the State Department, will accom-
pany him as secretary of the EN-.
bassy.

THE WOOL Bill

Asserts it Would Destroy lndust-

Hopes Congress Will Adopt Rates
Based On Tariff Boards Re-
port, Which He Can
Approve.

Washington. AS was expected,
President Taft crushed hopes of re-.
vision Of the ad valorem duties on
wood, or Schedule X, during the pres
emit session OF Congress by yetoing the
second bill passed within year
The President sent to Congress with
the returned bill an exhaustive mes
sage of disapproval of the action of
Congress for ignoring the findings of
the Tariff Board in its revision, which,
he maintained, would bring disaster to
home industries.
The bill provided for an ad valorem
duty of 30 per cent. on raw wool and
a duty Of 40 per cent. on clothes. In
his veto message Mr.. Taft commended
that he could not act in conformity
with the dictates Of his conscience
and the platform upon which he was
elected If he allowed the wooden
schedule to become law.
He expressed the hope that another
bill would be sent up which he could
sign, as he sincerely desired to aid in
cheapening the cost of necessities SO
far as it could be done without yio-
lence to the principle of protection for
the workingman to which he was COM
mitted
The Presidents disapproval of the
wool bill is to be followed with vetoes
Of the Steel and the Cotton bills. The
Sugar bill is likely to be vetoed. as is
the Excise Tax bill, the latter prob
ably on the ground that the President
regards it as unconstitutional.
