TAFT RETURNS HOME Secretary Arrives at New York Aiter Trip Around World, SAYS JAPS FAVOR PEACE Trade Relations Between the Two Countries, He Says, Is Alone Suffi- clent_(o Cause th: Crecat Body of the People to Opposs War. New York, Dec. % .—Secretary of War Taft has airived here on the steamer President Grant after a jour- fney around the world. He was ac- companied by Mrs. Taft and his son Charles. When seen on hoard the President Grant at quarautine Secre- tary Taft said he was not prevared to talk on any public questions. “I have bean away from the United States 120 days and so do not feel competent to discuss matters of Amer- lcan public interest at this time,” he sald. “Absence from home has pre- vented me from keeping abreast of the current events. While the work In the war derartment has, of course, moved along in the usual way during my absence there are mony matters of large impcrtance which require my personal attention. So 1 expect to have my nose close to the grindstone for some time to come.” Secretary Taft was met at Jersey City by a party of newspaper men. Japanese Not Oifendsd, Referring to the departure of the Pacific fleet the secretary said that this subject had not Leen discussed by the Japanese emperor and himself, but that the feeling in the island na- tion was that the maneuver was mere- ly a test of the efficiency of the navy and was not to be constried as any- thing even remotely akin to an un- friendly measure. “The Japanese pecple are strongly In favor of peace,” he went on. “I can speak with emphasis on this mat- ter. Nothing but peace is to be ex- pected. The- trade relations between the two nations is a streng factor for pacification. Of Japan’s yearly ex- ports of $160,000,000 over one-third comes to the United Statés. Most of their exports here are embroidery, laces and artistic goods of all kinds and this trade means a livelihood to a great number of smail traders on the {sland. This, if nothing else, would make the body of the nation oppose any act of hostility.” ADJOURNED BY COURT. Illinois Central Meeting Will Be Held in February.

Jacobs Creek, Pa., Dec. 2 .—Bhut six bodies have been removed from the Darr- mine, the scene of Thurjiday’s explosion. Many more had bein lo- cated and as the work of the regcuers is progressing well, with the fans working and no fire in the mine, it i thought the recovery of all the bodies is merely a matter of hours. Some of the bodies are dismembered and mangled and all are distorted by the agonies of violent death and disfig- ured and begrimed by the concussion and the smoké and dust of the eéxplo- sion. The exact number of men entombed when the explosion occurred is still} uncertain, but there is no reason to change the earlier estimates of at | least 200. No other explanation than that the explosion was due to gas has been advanced. Faint though it is hope is cherished by rescuers and grieving friends and relatives that some of the men may have survived the explosion and are awaiting release far back in the mine, For this reason the rescuers did not | take time to bring out the bodies as| they were found but continually | pressed forward, their only. aim be-| ing to as quickly as possible open a | passage to and explore every section | of the mine. i Foreigners Celebrate Escape. The foreign miners who escaped the ! disaster made night hideous in the little village. They had suspended | work because of the holiday and most | of them followed their usual holiday | custom of drinking to excess. Many were intoxicated before the catas- trophe and afterwards they put them- selves in worse condition, some drink. ing in celebration of their escape and others drinking to drown grief over the death of relatives or friends. All night long there was carousing and disorder, at times bordering closely upon rioting. The Pittsburg Coal company has ar- ranged to provide a Christian burial for all of the victims and will bear all éxpenses connected with the funerals. It 1s believed that a majority of the victims are Americans. The rescuers report the interior of the mine badly damaged. As they ad- vance they are compelled to rebuild much of the bracing that was blown out and a great deal of bratticing is necessary to make possible the ven- tilation of the remote sections. There is a shortage of many of the supplies needed for such conditions and the work of rescue will of necessity pro- gress slowly. The distance from the mouth of the mine ‘to the most re- mote sections is said to be about three miles and it is thought that many of the bodies will be found near the end of the workings. WOMEN TO BE REPRESENTED Propose to Have Delegate to Demo- cratic National Convention. Denver, Dec. % .—In all probability Mrs. Helen Grenfell, as delegate to the national Democratic convention to be held here next July, will represent the Democratic women of-the state in the first national convention to be held in equal suffrage territory. Many months ago the women of Colorado decided that they should be represented in the national Demo- cratic convention of 1908, Almost without exception the women declared themselves in favor.of Helen Grenfell as one of the state’s most representa- tive women and thoroughly qualified to stand for the women's Democracy of Colorado. AR Mrs. Grenfell has three clected state superintendent of pablic Instruction. She cast her vote for a | presidential nominee in the Silver Re. publican convention of 1900. She has been present at a number of naticnal conventions and knows politics as thoroughly as she knows the details of the office of state superintendent of public schools. . BEARING WARM GREETINGS| Wu Ting Fang Leaves Peking for His | Post at Washington. Dec. 2(.—Wu Ting Fang, inted to the post of Chinese minister to -the United States in succession to Sir Chentung Liang Cheng, has left Peking on his | way to Washington. He will sail from Shanghai in January, taking ! with him a number of young Chinese who are geing to study in the United States. In view of the present status be | tween China and the United States the throne, it is undérstood, has in- WU TING FANG. trusted Wu Ting Fang with a mes- sage of unusual warmth to President Roosevelt. The indemnity proposal and the speech delivered by Secretary Taft at Shanghai have served to draw Chinese attention to the United States and as a result of the efforts of the ! native press the proposition of the United States in the matter of guaran- | tee is better understood in China to- day than ever before. It is believed in some quarters that China will show her appreciation in a practical way by giving preference to American com- merce. 2 KING OSCAR IS BURIED. Services Attended by Widespread Evi- dences of Popular Sorrow. Stockholm, Dec. 2).—The body of the late King Oscar of Sweden, who died Dec. 8, was interred in the Rid- darholm church, the burial place of Swedish kings and heroes, with a ceremony the simple impressiveness of which was accentuated by the wide- spread evidences of popular sorrow. Along the snow covered route of the funeral procession thousands of peo- ple gathered and stood bareheaded in the biting cold during the passage of the hearse and the moumners. - Every bell in the city tolled throughout the progress of the funeral. Black dra- peries and other emblems of mourn- ing hung from the fronts of the build- ings facing the streets down which the funeral cortege passed and both sides of the route were hedged with lines of troops. Immediately following the hearse walked Gustave, the new king of Swe- den; the king of Denmark and the princes of the Swedish royal house. These mourners were followed by the special foreign embassies, repregent- ing states in all parts of the world.
