Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1s.-Pressure from administration sources for en- actment of permanent railroad legis- lation may block the tentative plans of congressional leaders for adjournment of the extraordinary session about November 10.

 The railroad bill as completed by the senate interstate commerce com mittee yesterday, is expected to be presented Tuesday or Wednesday so as to be in position for consideration immediately after ratification of the peace treaty.

Contest On Kiao Settlement Plan
 ExpectedBy Japs
Republican A. p. Leased Wlre1

TOKYO, Sunday, Oct 12-Viscount Uchida's statement early in September that Japan is considering the estab- lishment of an international settlement at Kiao Chiau instead of an exclusive Japanese settlement as authorized by treaties with China, promises to be the subject of protest at the forthcom- ing session of the diet by the peers af- filiated with the opposition party and other radical members of the upper house. It is declared here that such a movement will be supported by promi- nent publicists.
 The opposition is led by Baron Nit sunojo Funakoshi who says an attempt to alter matters pledged by a treaty injures the santicity of the treaty and the dignity of the state and demands to know the reason for this concession of the Shantung question when the Japanese delegates in Paris made no promise that an exclusive Japanese settlement would be abandoned
 "If the government is forced to re- nounce the Japanese settlement at the behest of the other powers,' he adds. such constitutes interference in the in- ternal affairs of Japan and ought to and must be opposed by President Will son, who is a great advocate of non- interference"
 The interest and welfare of the na- ton, the opposition claims, demand the government not abandon Japanese settlement of Kiao Chiau.
 Appearances tend to indicate that political forces, partly composed of the opposition party and partly of mili- tary circles, are formulating cam paign against Viscount Uchida, passing the movement on a general accusation that the foreign department is not sui ficiently determined in it's dealings with foreign powers and particularly with the United States.
 | The nature of this movement is sucll 1 that it may affect the composition sot Japan's reply to the important note oi 1 the United States concerning Japanese cooperation as regards the trans Si- berian railway. Japan's reply to this note has not yet been forwarded The 1 impression exists that the government will ratify the arrangement for effec tive cooperation between the militar, commands and the technical adviser. | in Siberia.
 The Jiji Shimpo today says that Rol and s. Morris, United States ambas sador to Japan, has had frequent in terviews with Viscount Uchida and , perfect understanding of the Siberian railroad management problem has beel reached.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 10-Having obtained relief from the prostatic con- dition which retarded his recovery last week, President Wilson was the victim today of slight digestive trouble. His condition otherwise throughout the day Rear Admiral Grayson, his personal physician, announced tonight was un- changed
 Dr. Grayson issued the following bulletin tonight:
 ''The president had a slight digestive disturbance today. Otherwise his con dition is unchanged"
 pr. Grayson, who has spent the night at the White House ever since the president returned from his speak ing tour three weeks ago today, was not called to the patients bedside at all last night. It was the first time in two weeks that some phase of his patients condition had not made it necessary for him to attend him after he had retired for the night.
 Dr. Grayson spent much of the morning with the president and after visits by Doctors Ruffin and Stitt the following bulletin was issued:
 There is no material change in the presidents condition. He slept well during the night
 The encouragement manifested by the presidents physicians and others Of hls household was understood to be due. not so much to any marked i'm rrovement, but to success of efforts made to allay the effects of the ail- merits incident to MT. Wilson's. general condition. Great importance has been attached to the elimination of the sec ondary ailments, because with them curhed the physicians believe the neu- rasthenic condition will gradually re- spond to the treatment being admin istered.
 The president has been permitted to sit up occasionally and has insisted at times that he be permitted to attend 10 some work. His physicians have insisted that for the time being he must be content to wait. Callers are not permitted to see him, but numer- ous reminders of their visits are sent to his room, one today being an arm ful of chrysanthemums personally de- livered at the White House by three enlisted men of the army ani a sailor

Oil was struck last week at the James
oil well, near Coyote Wells. Mr.. James
is preparing to pump the water out and
pump the we'll to determine the exact
status of the oil strike
He states that the oil strike was not
sufficient to gush from the wen and
that any oil obtained now must be OBJ
tanned by pumping. He estimates the
strike as being about the equivalent of
six barrels Il day when pumped.
The well at present is down 1,10o feet
and will be drilled deeper. 1t is expect
ed that q real strike will he made with
in the next two or three hundred feet
4 the oil sands viii then have been
reached.
Coincident with the news Of the find
ing of a small amount of oil in the
well came the information that Mr..
James and associates have been quietly
buying up all the stock in the well they
were able to.
In Seeley the stock was recently pur-
chased for as high as II and 20 cents
a share. Mr.. James denies that they
offered as high as 80 cents a share for
any of it.
There seems to be no doubt but that
well defined traces of oil are present at
the well at this time. Whether there
will be big strike remains to be seen,
but the fact that they have a six-balrel
a day we'll at this time BY pumping is
very encouraging to Mr.. James and his
