,n, r.,eer,ph to II. rlbaasl

Ottawa, Ont, June s.-Sir Wilfrid
Laurier, replying tonight TO reports
that he had resigned the leadership OF
the Liberal party at a caucus to-day
said:
at is not true. My resignation was
not discussed in the caucus"
"The Ottawa Citizen in late edi-
ton. says:
"Sir Wifrid's denial of the definite
announcement OF his resignation is not
taken to conflict with the widespread
rumor around the Commons this even
ing generally accepted as true, al
though Liberal members are silent as
to what occurred, except 20 say that IN
the party caucus to-day he intlmated
his desire to be relieved of the leader
ship if the party was not satisfied with
his stand on the coalition proposals.
"lt is said that he will retain his
seat in the Commons and be leader for
Quebec. but another leader for the Lib
eral party as a whole will have 10 be
sought The Hon. G.. T. Graham, tenn
porarily at least, is likely TO be the
man"
There will be no statement until
after the bill Is brought down" WAS all
that +. +. Pardee, chief Liberal whip,
would say al the close Of three hours
Liberal caucus to-day. From all that
can be learned the gathering was
stormy affair, and there WAS clear
cut cleavage in the Liberal ranks.
There is said 20 have been some plain
speaking on the part of the Ontario and
Western members over the refusal Of
Sir Wilfrid Laurier 10 accept the offer
Of Sir Robert Borden 70 drop politics
and form Twin the war Cabinet"
Some of the Liberals, 10 Is said,
wanted 20 introduce a resolution in-
dorsing the action Of the Liberal leader
in refusing the offer Of coalition but in
view Of the opposition the resolution
was withdrawn.
II is understood that negotiations
for reorganization Of the Cabinet are
still proceeding, but there i8 nothing
definite TO report. The prospects are.
however, that IL win be accomplished
in a few days with the introduction of
six or seven prominent Liberals.
There will be no registration under
the Canadian cOnscrpiion act.' said
The Montreal Gazette "N hen the bill
becomes law every male citizen between
twenty and forty-fve years of age will

Orient Freight
RATE ADVANCE
HITS HONOLULU

Soaring prices on rice and general
cargo from the Orient to Honolulu are
worrying not only American import
ing firms but the big Japanese inn
porters and local Japanese merchants.
Cable adVices received q few days
ago by Tom Church, manager OF the
merchandise department Of Alexander
q Baldwin, from the firms Yokohama
agent, said that the rate then on rice
from Yokohama to Honolulu was SIS
a ton by regular steamers, but that
on July l it would advance to SIS =
ten. This confirms reports printed by
the Star-Bulletin three weeks ago.
On general cargo the rate on mer-
chandise received by the company on
the Korea Maru May d was SIS a
ton both on rice and general mer-
chandfse from the Orient. A year ago
it was between. IS and 50. Freight

ers, Korea and Siberia Maru, any time
1t chooses.
Castle & Cooke. local agents for the
T. K. K, recently received a letter
from the T. K. K. stating that the
rate on general merchandise from
Hongkong would be $50 q ton on and
after July /.
One OF the leading Japanese import
ers said today he will receive mer.
chandise by the Japanese tramp
steamer Unkai Maru, due here next
month from Japan, and that he has
had to pay $50 q ton for general mer-
chandise from Yokohama and Kobe,
coming on that steamer. The rate
Tor the last tramp steamer bringing
merchandise to this firm was only $40
o ton.
1t Is understood that the Japanese
businessmen of Honolulu are getting
together in an attempt to secure a
lower rate. They say that the pres
ent irregularity and tremendous in
creases in rates work great hardships
on the importer, retailer and con.
sumner, and that unless a more reason
able rate can be secured some of the
smaller Japanese stores may have to
go out Of business.
