MAY REJECT MR, WU Opposition to Return of Former Chinese Minister, UNOFFICIAL OBJECTION MADE Representations Based Not Only on Hls Conduct While Formerly in Washington but Because of His Method in Securing Anpointment. Washington, Sept. ‘.—Secretary Root has received a cablegram from Minister Reckhill, at Peking, notify- fng him of the appointment of Wu Ting Fang as minister to Washington. | It Is evidently the intention of Mr. Root to allow the president and As- sistant Secretary Bacon to pass upon Minister Wu's eliglbility. There is reason to believe that unofficially some representations have been made at the state department within the last twenty-four hours impeaching the character of the proposed new minis- ter, not only on the ground of his con- duct while formerly in Washington but because it is stated Mr. Wu took advantage of an abnormal state of &f- falrs in Peking to secure his reap- pointment to this post. According to this account Prince Ching, who is really the titular premier of the Flow- ery Kingdom, is ageing rapidly and has lost interest in public affairs. He does not even attend the cabinet meet- ings regularly and in consequence his influence with the throne has greatly diminished. Yuan Shih Kai, who promises to succeed Li Hung Chang as the directing force in China, is practically dominating the kingdom’s forelgn relations. Sfr Chentung Liang Cheng, the retiring minister to Wash- ington, upon returning to China went first to visit his relatives in Canton, in the South, instead of to the Chinese capital. It is asserted that had he been in Peking he would have cast his powerful influence with Yuan Shih Kal agalnst Wu’'s appointment, having always expressed himself as opposed to his methods. RUSSIA MUCH INTERESTED Taft’s Tour of the World Closely Fol- lowed at St. Petersburg, 8t. Petersburg, Sept. x..—Secratary Taft’s tour of the world is being fol- lowed with unusual Interest here. The government is taking measures to surround the journey through Siberia and European Russia with attentions usually reserved for the rulers of states and the press is busily specu- lating on the Iltkellhood and advan- tages of a Russo-American conventlon, tho object of Mr. Taft’s visit to Russia being, it s alleged, to negotiate an agreement between the United States and Russia. The conviction prevalls here that war between Japan and the United Btates is inevitable In the distant fu- ture. The Novoe Vremya publishes an article entitled “The New World Power,” picturing the marvelous growth of America as a sea power during President Roosevelt’s admin- Istration, warning Russian diplomacy “not to be caught unawares by com- ing events” and adding: “The day when the United States fleet passes out of the strait of Magel- lan and sweeps proudly into the wa- ters of the Pacific will open a new era for the Fastern world. Officlal cour- tesles and the temporary lull in war talk do not conceal the fact that Amer- fca 18 reaching out for the mastery of tbe Pacific and already is strong enough to attain it.” CHOATE ADMITS DEFEAT. Much Opposition to Permanent Court of Arbitratish, The Hague, Sept. '—Joseph H. Choate, head of the American delega- tion to the peace conference, is ready to acknowledge the defeat of his pet scheme for the establishment here of & permanent court of arbitration, but he and James Brown Scott, solicttor of the department of state at Wash- ipgton and a member of the delega- tion, are doing everything possible to fnduce the majority of the delegates to adopt Mr. Choate’s last proposal, namely, the election of fifteen judges ©f the court by a direct vote of the governments in the forthcoming plen- ary sitting of the committee on arbl- tration. Sir Edward Fry (Great Britain) op- poses the American plan and suggests that the project be submitted to the governments for study. Dr. Ruy Barbosa (Brazil), M. Merey von Kapos-Mere (Austria) and Baron Marschall vou Blebersteln (Germany) maintain that it is impossible to agree on the election ot the judges and that it is unfair to recommend to the gov- ernments a scheme which the commit- tes has approved only conditionally and subject to the solution of the question of the election of the judges. ALL THE INMATES ESCAPE County Infirmary at Wapakoneta, O., Destroyed by Fire. Wapakoneta, O., Sept. ¥ .—The Aug- lalze county infirmary was completely dnstroyed by fire early in the day. All of the forty-elght inmates escaped without serious injury by prompt res- cue work of Strother Jones and Will- fam Metzger, farmhands who discov- ored the fire. The fire was discovered at 4 a. m,, having burned through the kitchen floor from the coal bins. The origin s unknown, there having been no light or fire in the basement for some time. The alarm was at once given and the fire department of this city responded. As the county had no means of fighting the fire the cistern supply was soon exhausted and the infirmary bullding was left to the flames, which in two hours had totally destroyed the building and contents. Several of the inmates who did not hear the alarm had to be carried out through the flames. The heroic ef- forts of the firemen and farmers pre- vented the spread of the flames to adjoining buildings, though the heavy wind made it hard work. WEDS MUSIC MASTER. Countess Montignoso, Ex-Crown Prin. cess of Eaxony. London, Sept. 1l—The Countess Montignoso, ex-crown princess of Sax. ony, and Signor Toselli, the music master, were married during the day at a registry office on the Strand, this city. Only three witnesses were pres- ent at the marriage, which was sur- rounded with profound secrecy. The couple, who have been staying at an obscure London hotel, left the city immediately after the ceremony. TWENTY PERSONS INJURED Train Carrying America Bound Passengers Wrecked. Mantes, France, Sept. Y—The transatlantic train carrying first class passengers from Paris to Cherboursg, where they were to embark on the ‘White Star llne steamer Adriatic, was telescoped in the Breval tunnel. Twen- ty persons were injured. The train with the Adridtic’s pas- sengers left Parls in two sections. The first, containing the second class bag- gage, stopped just beyond the Breval tunnel owing to an accident to the locomotive. The second section, con- taining the first class passengers, was stopped by a signal when in the mid- dle of the tunnel. The regular train for Rouen followed the secopd section of the passenger train for Cherbourg and although there was a red- signal up at the entrance of the. tunmel it only reduced its speed and entered while going at the rate of twenty-five miles an hour. The collision followed. The Rouen train crashed into the rear car of the transatlantic train, causing a horrible wreck. The locomotive of the Rouen train completely telescoped the rear coach of the transatlantic train and in the smoke and darkness an awful panic ensued. It was a miracle that nobody was killed. An American girl who was going home with her mother was caught in the wreckage and pinned down by some {ronwork. Hours elapsed before the girl was extricated from her pain- ful position. Her mother escaped un- injured. CHEMIST PRODUCES LIFE. French Professor Makes Remarkable Experiment, . i Paris, Sept. \ }.—Remarkable experi- ments in the chemical development of life have been recently effected by Professor Delage in his laboratory at Roseoft, In Brittany. Professor Delage placed the unfertilized eggs of the sea urchin and the starfish in sea water, adding a solution of sugar with a few drops of ammonia and tannin, In about an hour segmentation, which is the first sign of lif3, began and the eggs produced larvae. The great ma- Jority of these larvae soon died, but Professor ‘Delage, by constant .and minute care, brought four of the urchins and two of the starfish through the larvae stage and they are now healthy growing specimens, Professor Delage’s experiments go beyond those made by Professor Loeb of the University of Califorania at Berkeley. EXCLUSION OF ORIENTALS Monster Petition Forwarded to Cana- dian Premier. Ottawa, Ont., Sept. \ .—A monster petition signed by thousands of Brit- ish Columbians is on its way to the premier, Sir Wilfrid Laurier. It prays that, regardless of foreign countries and all sentimental and political con- siderations, the government immedi- ately pass such legislation as may be requisite to insure the absolute exclu- sfon of Orientals from the Dominion of Canada. . So far the Japanese government hag made no claim on the Dominion gov- ernment for damages on account of the Vancouver troubles.

STANDARD FURNISHED CASH Although Apparently an Independent Concern Its Affairs Were Managed From 26 Broadway, Headquarters of the Big Octopus. New York, Sept. .—H. C. Folger, Jr., a director of the Union Tank Line company, told as a witness in the gov- ernment suit for the dissolution of the Standard Gil company how he and C. M. Payne bullt the Corsicana Oil com- pany of Texas with funds furnished by the National Transic company, a Standard subsidiary, which held the stock in its own name until 1906, when Folger and Payne purchased the stock from the Natlonal Transit company because of antl-trust legislation. Mr. Folger sald that the agreement to buy the Corsicana company was made ver- bally with John D. Archbold. The witness testified that the management of the Corsicana company continued unchanged after the sale and that its accounts were forwarded to Mr. Ches. brough at No. 26 Broadway, the héad- quarters of the Standard Oll company ‘Wade Hampton, general auditor of the Standard Oil company, was again on the witness stand for a few mo ments. After testifylng that he au- dited all the departments of the Stand- ard Ofl company of New Jersey and stating that the books showing the transfers of certificates and stocks during the liquidating period were never kept in his office he was ex cused by Mr. Kellogg, who said he would likely call Mr. Hampton again. Mr. Milburn, of counsel for ' the Standard Ofl company, submitted to the government’s counsel a statement showing the capitalization of the varl ous companies in which the Standard had stock control. The statement was entered on the record without being read. Mr. Kellogg also placed on the rec- crd a copy of a contract which E. C. Benedict testified had been entered into between the Indianapolls Gas company and the Manhattan Oil com- pany. BOODLERS ON THE STAND Inner Workings of Frisco Gang Laid Bare In Court.

Bouth Determined to Hold the Negro in His Place. Atlantic City, N. J.; Sept. | | . —In ad- dressing the convention of the Amer- fean Bankers' association ‘on “The Bouth” Governor Swanson of Virginia sald,"in part: “Thé Southern man loves his sec- tlon, but the South is not narrow and loves the entire-country and. the flag. So far as patrfotism 1is concerned there is no South, East, West or North and when Grant at_Appomatox said ety e S ety ‘Let us have peace’ the Dloody chasm was closed forever. This peace was further cemented at Santlago, “The freeing of slaves cost the South $8,000,000,000 and at the close of the war the ballot was glven to the viclous and debased, but after years of self-sacrifice we have recovered. By legislation we have practically eliminated the negro from Southern politics. We will stand together on this question as Wwe have never stood on any other. We will treat the negro kindly, but, so help me God, we will hold him in his place for his own good and for the South’s salvation.” Present Mayor of Frisco Fails to Se- cure Nominati-n, San Francisco, Sept. }—Danlel A, Ryan, an attorney who has been prom. inent in Republican politics, has been nominated for mayor by the Repub- lican municipal convention.

Johns, N. F., Sept. '—An im- perial rescript forbidding the service by any colonial authority of any legal process regarding fishery rights aboard any American vessel and suspending all colonial statutes authorizing colo- nial officials to seize American vessels for alleged fishery offenses has been proclaimed here. This, it is belleved, will make it practically impossible for Premier Bond to carry out his recent- ly announced decision to snforce the colonial fishery laws ’ Washington, Sept. aln having entered —Great Brit- into a modus vivendi with America continuing the | rights of American fishermen to ply theilr vocation in Newfoundland wa- ters pending a specific determination of these rights by the decision of The Hague arbitrators, according to the view of the officials here, the British government in good faith could do no less than intervene by an order in council to prevent Sir Robert Bond, the Newfoundland premier, from in- fringeing the rights of the Americans. It is stated that when Sir Robert Bond was in London recently he was fully acquainted with this purpose of the British government. His threat to enforce colonial laws passed with the deliberate intent of depriving Amer- ican fishermen of their treaty rights is regarded by officials here as a mere “bluff” and not supported by a major- ity of Newfoundlanders.

HEARST NOT A CANDIDATE Declares He Is Satisfied to Remain a Private Citizen, New York, Sept. i—In an inter- view published here William Randolph | Hearst takes occasion to deny that he is a candidate for the presidency. He says: “I am not a candidate for the pres- idency on the Independence league : ticket or on any other ticket and I cannot conceive of any conditions un- der which T would be willing to be- come a candidate.” This determination, he adds, is “not because of any feeling of pique or dis- appointment at the result of the late election. I am well satisfied to be a private citizen and to labor through the league and through the election for others who promote the principles T believe in. I dislike holding office. I dislike particularly being placed in a position where the sincerity of my principles can be questioned through campaigning for some office that I do not want and that 1 would only con- sent to hold through a sense of public duty, as I would serve on a jury.” WILL ENDORSE KNUX.
