LOS ANGELES, May 8.—The attention of President Roosevelt was to-day called to a dispatch from Washington stating that Secretary Hay was in communication h him regarding the increase of the R n garrison at Newchwang, Man- churia. It was further asserted that the Secretary of State was only awaiting the President’s approval of his course to take vigorous action, even to the extent of a joint protest by Japan, England and the United States. The President said that he had received no communication from Secretary Hay re- garding the affair. He had not been ask- ed to approve of the course indicated and, in fact, had never heard of the matter before. morning. SRRSO Reception at Santa Cruz.

The truth pout the sl\uullon, as viewed here, is that Russia continues her assur- ances that she has no designs on Man- or the “open door,” and that the ed States has grown somewhat skeptical. When such a condition arises between nations that have been life-long fric Jlomats naturally become fret- ful.

Whatever step the United States will take, it can be said that it will not be in the direction of a departure from the traditional policy of this coun- try as a peace-loving nation. There will not be any warships in our policy witn reference to-the new Russian occupation | of wechwang. Russia, it is thought ills Washington, suspects this and feels that she can hold Manchuria against Japan. It is also believed here that when Russla makes an explanation it will be found that the attitude of Japan will be eited as a good and substantlal reason why she has made a change in the disposition of her troops. W. T. Kelley, members of the executive com- mittee appointed to prepare for the reception to President Roosevelt, were in conference with Admiral Miller to-day and were given definite knowledge as to the manner and time of the President’s coming to this city. The President will come on the Paul Jones and is scheduled to arrive at Virginia-street wharf. Admiral Miller and aid will go down on the Paul Jones and return with the Presidential party, which will consist of not to exceed ten people, this being the limit of the accommodations, ptads: ~iivay FLOWERS FOR DECORATING.

F MANCHURIA - LADY O ShYS ND CELEBRATION She Demands That She Be Crowned Empress of Korea. Prince Imperial's Faction Bitterly Opposes Her Ambition. Special Dispatch to The Call. TACOMA, Wash., May $.—Because Lady Om willed it so, the celebration in honor of the fortieth anniversary of the Korean Emperor's coronation is to be postponed until next autumn. A tele- gram from Seoul to this effect was re- celved at Yokohama just before the sa ing of the steamship Olympia, which ar- rived to-day. The nominal cause of the postponement is that Prince Yong. son of Lady Om, has been attacked by small- pox or measles The telegrams state that determined to be made Empress when the celebration is held, or that it shall be given up indefinitely. When the same celebration was proposed last year Lady Om announced that she ought to be made Empress. The Emperor fa granting her wish, but was p Lady Om is the strong factional party which is op- posed to Lady Om. She and her adher- ents were strong enoush to bring about a postponement then, though lack of necessary funds was the ostensible rea- son. Just now a similar dispute is in progress between the party of Lady Om and that of the Prince Imperial, the lat- ter faction maintaining that Lady Om shall not be elevated to the position held by the mother of the Prince Imperial. who was murdered vears ago. Financial difficulties at Seoul also have some bear- | ing on the postponement. This being the second postponement of ceremonies, it is now not expected ever to take place. The postponement having been officially announced to the Japanese Emperor, orders were lssued counter- manding the departure of men-of-war which were to have carried Prince Yam- ashina to Korea to participate SCORE HURT IN EXPLOSION. e Continued From Page 1, Column 7. was In session and explosion and fire caused a hasty adjournment and a pell- mell rush for the street belaw. IMPROVISED HOSPITAL. The Holden drug store at the corner be- low was converted into an improvised hospital. Four of the most serfously wounded and several with bad cuts and bruises were taken there, but for some time no physician could be found. It was found that G. Solari was fatally hurt The doctor said he could live but a few hours. A priest came in and administered the last rites to the dying man, while the groans of the other wounded resounded throughout the place. Rolland Chipman, a young Stockton plumber, was brought In with his scalp badly lacerated and his skull probably tractured. George Newcomb, an old man, was frightfully cut about the head and tace by flying glass. Fred Gerlach was taken to the drug store and from there to his home. Most of the burned stores apartments above the were occupled as office rooms and lodgings. There were many narrow escapes there. One physician who occupied one of these offices was horrified when the explosion occurred to see his operating table fall through the floor and leave him sitting at the edge of a jagged hole. Ex-Fire Chief Israel Rolf was one of the first volunteers to take a hose into the burning bulldings, and was quite serious- 1y injured during his work. Frank Tipp, a boy who was walking along on the op- posite side of the street, was blown through a heavy plate glass window Into the Plaza store. He escaped with some minor cuts. Nobody can be found to explain the ex- plosion, but it is belleved to have been gas In the rear of the shoe store, though employes say the gas was turned off at the meter. S—————— ST.
