ment the note in which Austria-Hun- gary virtually said that if the other powers do not oust Montenegro the dual monarchy will do it alone.
 Dispatches from CettinJe quoted King Nicholas as telling his jubilant people that Montenegro will hold Scu- lari against all corners.
 Nicholas Has Had His Triumph.
 In spite of his boastful declarations, though, it is believed in diplomatic circles that King Nicholas can be per suaded to evacuate the city. Nicholas professed to have his heart set on emulating the examples of Czar Ferdi- hand and the late King George in tri- umphantly entering a captive city. He has had that experience now, and 1t is believed that for consideration he might be persuaded to give up Scutari without coercion.
 The government has been diplo- matically informed that Montenegro must give up Scutari and that such demand by the powers Is not discrim- mating by any means. It was pointed out that Bulgaria at the instance of the powers desisted in her march to Constantinople; Servia agreed to evac- uate Durazzo and the Greeks were persuaded not to attack Valona

Apparent Death, Lives but Few Hours.

Butte, Cal, April 26.-While the members of the family and relatives were grouped about the open coffin of Mrs. J. R. Burney's 3-year-old son, listening to the funeral services, the body moved and presently the child, clad in its shroud, sat up and gazed about the-room.
 His eyes caught those of his eeand- mother. Mrs. l.. P. Smith.
 The aged woman stared at the child as if hypnotized. Then she sank into a chair, dead.
 As she fell the child dropped back into it's coffin. Death came few hours later.

was to take counsel with the Can. fornia authorities as to the best way to avoid international difficulty.
 Inquiries as to just what Japan would consider discrimination brought forth the intimation from the president that with the eligibility of the Japanese to citizenship still a de- batable question, it would be difficult to define just what would be con- strued as a discrimination.
 Bryan declared later he went with no specific instructions, but simply with the general idea that discrimina- tion aimed directly at the Japanese should, if possible, be avoided.
 Toko Asks co-Operation.
 An appeal for cooperating in seek ing satisfactory solution of the Cali. fornia alien land law situation came by cable from chambers of commerce of Japan to the board of directors here of the national chamber of com merce. The message follows:
  bers of commerce of Japan this day held an extraordinary meeting at To- kio and resolved that the possible adoption of any anti-Japanese law by California would impair the good friendship and hamper the ccmmer- oial relations between America and Japan. We earnestly seek your sym pathetic cooperation toward a satis- factory solution"
 Politics Greatest Obstacle.
 Gov. Johnson's pronunciamento "up- polding the dignity of the state of Cal ifornia" and proclaiming her right to enact an anttalien law and a protest from the Panama-Pacifc exposition management against the proposed ianti-Japanese legislation are reitera- tions of views heretofore expl essed. The exact nature of the bill which will bear Gov. Johnsons Endorsement is not known and probably not yet decided on. The new development in the program adopted by the Demo. crats In the legislature is to introduce resolutions inviting the governors of all the Pacific Coast states to come to California for a conference with Secre- tary Bryan and Gov. Johnson.
 That an anti-alien land ownership bill will be passed by the California legislature and signed by the governor may be taken for granted, whatever Secretary Bryan's advice may be.

tastes gratified by visit TO THE Old

Sunday. This charming play has been
before the public for % years, and is
now on its 26th annual tour. 1t is
the same simple story OF rural life
in New England that 1t was away
back in 1885, when IL was first pro-
duced as finished drama at the Bos-
ton theatre. And for 11years prior to
that Mr.. Thompson had been present
ing a play called Joshua Whitcomb,"
in which he portrayed the sturdy old
farmer, Uncle Josh. And ever before
that time Mr.. Thompson had given for
some years in the variety halls, a
sketch having Uncle Josh as its CEN
trail figure. So, taking It altogether,
the character Of the kindly New Eng
land farme, Uncle Josh has been be
fore the theatregoing public for near
ly 40 years.

Helping Men to the Farm.

If congress grants the request of the

So, 1000, 900 appropriations 70 maintain
bureaus of information at Chicago,
New Orleans and San Francisco, the
department believes it can accomplish
great results in the next few years in
getting men from the city to the farm.
1t will proceed with the work, whether
it gets the amount asked or only $780,
900 in all, as rather expected.
This plan does not contemplate a
back to-the-farm" movement prima-
rily as a means of diverting the trend
of population c~ountryward. Its pur-
pose is to find out the men in the cities
who are tired of that life and are anx-
ious to get out on the land, either as
laborers or proprietors, and its inquiries
would be chiefly directed toward man
who came from the farm, either in the
United States or Europe. 1t would
also aid in bringing back from Canada
large numbers of American farmers
who went there and became tired of
conditions. Omaha Bee.
