THE sEpUOIA MALE QUARTET.

The dream Of all lovers of vocal en-
semblc is the naturalization of male
quartet proportionate to their conccp-
ton of what one should be. The aver
age person will go to hear male quar-
tct because it is a male quartet-being
so charmed with this particular form
of harmonic arrangement as to be i'm
pervious to other forms perhaps equal
ly effective. There must be some fund
'amental truth at the foundation of the
universal and phenomenal preference
for a male quartet. There is. The
most eminent critics of vocalization are
agreed that male voices blend better,
carry farther and reach deeper than
mixed voices. The versatility in tone
effect of male quartete immeasurably
exceeds that of any other divisional
unit. The results obtained in this re-
spect by the Sequoia Male Quartet can
not be excelled. To listen to their
splendid repertoire is to hear severally
reproduced with astonishing skill; the
tumming of banios in the cabins Of the
cotton fields Of the old South; the real
istic tingling twang of the guitar as
fingered by abandoned dev0tees of the
instrument; the half reedy whispering
hum of the Hawaiian taropatch; the
chords on a cathedral organ; and
throughout every shade of orchestral
tonality, from the heavy harmonies of
the more pretentious selections to the
shadow tracing Of lighter numbers.
M. l.. Bowman, bass, for several
years leading basso with the Henry W.
Savage Grand Opera Company, has q
voice of exceptional quality, depth and
range. Joseph A. Finley, second tenor
and reader, has enjoyed wide expert
ence and popularity in both capacities
He was, in addition to many other po-
sitions of similar character, former con-
ductor of the Portland Oratorio Society.
II. M. Whetsel first tenor, will remind
many Of John Mccormick, when he
sings Mother Macree. William l.. Pat
ton, baritone, accompanist and pianist,
with years of success throughout the
west has already drawn the attention
of the eastern critics and press. His
own arrangement of "The Rosary
(Nevin) never fails to delight an audi
ence.
These singers and entertainers will be
feature of the chautauqua that you
will not forget.

WHEN AMERICA WAS
VERY CLOSE TO WAR

A secret chapter in American diplo
macy was disclosed in Washington last
Saturday in an investigation of the
charge made recently by former Secre-
tary of the Treasury Leslie NJ. Shaw,
that twice within the past ten years the
imminence of war seemed to Justify this
government in shipping gold inland
from the subtreasury at San Francisco.
Japan in 1907 sought to float a loan
in Great Britain and France for the pur-
nose of financing a war upon the United
States. She failed through the machin-
ations of the Russian government and
the interference of King Edward of
| ENGLAND.
, During the second peace conference
at The Hague, i'll the summer of 1907
a Russian deleoate informed an Ameri
can official at The Hague that Japan
ese commission was in England, it's os
tensible object being to raise a loan
for establishing great educational
system in Japan.
The American official smiled incred,l-
louslv and declared the Russian must he
mistaken. but the czar's envoy suggest
ed that the American state department
ought to be advised, and the sooner tho
wiser.
A cablegram was dispatched forth
with to the state department, which
communicated Immediately with the
British foreign office. Downing street
hecause of the Anglo-Japanese alliance
hesitated to act. and carried the infor-
nation transmitted by the United
States to King Edward
The king sent for his financial ad.
wiser. Sir Ernest Cassell, and inquired
of the progress the japanese commits
sion was making and of the real purpose
of the desired loan. The interview
with his advisers convinced him that
.Japan desired war with this country
and that the object of the loan was tr
enable her to prosecute a war with 9
frst-elass power, and was not for edu
rational or other purposes
King Edward directed Sir Ernest tt
/ DISCOURAGE the loan and to inform thu
British financial interests that to grant
it would embarrass the British govern
ment and prejudice English interests.
The japanese commission made nr
further headway i'm London and tho,
went to France, where its efforts like
wise failed because of the influence OF
the English king over the French gov
ernment.
Relations between Japan and th'
United States became greatly strained
in October, 1908. over the San Francisco
school controversy, which ushered il
also the more troublesome problem Of
Japanese immigration.

D1scussEs IDAHO STATE LOANS

MOSCOW, Idaho, May 80 In an
omen letter to Governor Moscs Alexan-
der former Governor w. j. Mcconnell
says:
"In the interest of the school chil.
dren of the state of Idaho | desire to
direct your attention to section B. ar
ticle 9 of the constitutions of Idaho,
which is in part AS follows: The public
school fund of the state shall forever
remain inviolate and intact
1.-The closing sentence of the same
section further states that THE state
shall supply all losses thereof that may
in any manner occur.
Losses have occurred by making
excessive loans, and others, judging
from rumors afloat, are liable to fol-
low, but if so let us meet them man
fully, as the trainers of our constitution
provided -e--0H
'.If mistakes have been made in ma
king loans, as is probable, clean them
up, as the statute provides, ascertain
the loss, if any, and ask the legisla-
ture to supply it as the constitution di-
reefs. If this provision is carried out,
as is intended, every taxpayer will he
interested in loans made by the lauti
board, and will give you valuable afsi
in determining the good loans from
the bad. l need not tell YOU that it is
the duty of the chairman of your board
to advise the legislature of such losses
of school funds as may have occurred
and request that an appropriation be
made to supply such loss
