Hon. Frederick H. Parkhurst of Ban
gor was the first to announce that he
would be candidate in the primaries for
the Republican nomination for Governor;
but when Hon. Arthur H. Chaplin of
Bangor also announced his candidacy it
was agreed between the two men that
there should be no campaigning by
either until it was settled that both or
only one of them should remain in the
contest, and this agreement was strictly
lived up to by both candidates. Other
candidates meanwhile came in to the field,
and friends of Mr.. Parkhurst in this sec
ton, who were not aware of this agree
ment, were surprised at his inactivity.
Mr.. Chapins withdrawal assures Mr..
Parkhurst the solid support of his nome
county, as shown by the report Of re-
cent meeting of the Penobscot county
Republican committee on another page,
and it is expected he will now begin an
active canvass. The withdrawal of Mr..
Chaplin leaves six aspirants in the field,
Edward W. Wheeler of Brunswick, Carl
E. Millken of Island Falls, Frederick H.
Parkhurst, of Bangor, George G. Weeks
of Fairfield, Timothy F. Callahan of
Lewiston and DR.. A. C. Hagerthy of
Ellsworth. 1t is expected that other
Withdrawals will follow, and that when
the matter finally comes before the
voters at the primaries there will be not
more than four aspirants for the place.

HUGHES STANDS IN FAVOR IF
 RAILROAD

No alarm is expressed among Re publican leaders over the position of Justice Hughes on the Alaska rail road question All express themselves as believing Justice Hughes will stand squareIy back of the Republican terri torial platform, which contains a plank favoring appropriations to continue the railroad
 It is evident that John F. Ballame, who is a candidate for congress at Seattle. attempted to use the railroad matter as an opening wedge to get lefthanded endorsement from Jus tice Hughes to his congressional as pirations. and failing to reach the ear of Mr Hughes attempted to stir up some excitement. as we'll as for pub licity by wiring the Seward and Val deg papers ntimatiug because he had been turned down Justice Hughes might be against the railroad.
 Men knowing Justice Hughes de clare him to be a sticker for party platforms and party regularity. This being true there can he no question of his stand on the railroad, as We find the following in the territorial Repub- lican platform:
 That one of the most vital needs of Alaska is the construction of the railroads, trails and bridges through out the territory to permit the deyel- opment of regions of rich resources now inaccessible. except at enormous expense and in order to promote the construction of these great arteries Of

George c. Hazelet was elect ed chairman, and Edward F. Medley secretary of the meeting.
 MT. Hazelet explained at some lenEt" the object of the call and the further fact that he had talked with a number of people and practically all of them expressed a desire to have started some movement that would provide the needed houses in COrdova, on account of its constantly growing population. Those in attendance at the meeting favored the organization of a building association.
 It was decided to appoint a com mittee of five to formulate definite plan of operation, and after this is adopted subscriptions will be solicited. The committee named consists of H. A. Slater, Malcolm Brock, Fred Glas- brcnner, Edward F. Medley and Bart ley Howard, who will submit their re port at a meeting to be held Monday night.

man ships from this trade, We are willing to trade heavily with Europe, since in my opinion Europe will not be so long making up its present war losses as might be thought Of course the amount of these losses will depend on the length of the war. and that de bends on the success of the Russian and other powers offensiyes But should the war end in a reasonable time, the people of Europe will have been quickened by the war spirit, they will work harder to make up their losses.
 AS regards the relations between the United States and Japan. it must be remembered always that we look with gratitude upon the United States as the country which sixty years ago put us in communication with the outside world, after a period of twen- ty-fiye hundred years of almost non communication with any other people than those of our own islands except a few rare instances.

JAPAN GRATEFUL. TO UNITED
 STATES

ROME, Sept |. - Before leaving fo . the United States. Baron Yoshiro Sa- katani, president of the imperial Jap, anese commission to the economic conferences of the entente powers, held at Paris recently. explained to a correspondent of the Associated Press the general objects of the Japanese commission, and discussed from a fin ancial point of view the relations of Japan and the United States as de yeloped since the war, and as affect ed by the new Russo-Japanese treaty.
 Baron Sakatani is we'll known to many Americans as the financier who strengthened out the ebbing finances of Japan after the Ruso-Japanese war. He for a time held the position that corresponds in the United States to that of secretary of the treasury. He also was mayor of Tokio. The other members of the commission are s. Tenrumi and K. Yage, with s. Idzour- ka acting as secretary. The commits sion reached Europe by way of the Siberian railway, crossing from Pet rograd to London. thence to Paris, and finally to Rome.
 Baron Eakatani. who speaks Eng fish fluently, said: The imperial commission was appointed for the purpose of attending the Paris con ference and also of visiting those countries now our allies and of pscer- taining in a definite way how the commerce Of Japan can be increased with them what they can sell us and what we can sell them. especially as relates to products they formerly ob- tained from Germany and Ausaria- Hungary. There is also the question of delivering goods, Japan has three large steamship lines at present aud they are building as rapidly as pos slble more ships, as rates in the Far East have risen out O. all reasonable proportions since the removal of Ger
