MUST FIX BOUNDARY
JAPAN TAKES t'l KOItEA'S CASK
AGAINST CHINA.
iHx-s Not Deny that Jnan Has Sent
Troops to Take Possession of tin
Disputed Territory Says Justice to
Koreans Demands1 Settlement.
"Japan's policy toward China In the
pending Korean boundary dispute haa
been made necessary by the character
of growing relations between Koreans
and the Chinese government. Japan
must settle the boundary line definitely
in order to do Justice to Korea. A set
tlement will be to the triple advantage
of Korea, China and Japan."
This statement was made Wednes
day by Viscount Sluzo Aokl, the Jap
anese ambassador to the United States
when his attention was called to the
dispatch from Toklo saying the Japan,
ese government had officially an
nounced Japan's policy of yielding
nothing to China and that Japanese
troops were hurrying to take posses
sion of the disputed territory.
Viscount Aokl explained the policy
of the Japanese government clearly..
He went over the situation carefully
from the time when the Korean
boundary line first became a matter of
dispute between Koreans and the Chi
nese government. He explained why
the Koreans felt entitled to the dis
puted land, how they had suffered
through the boundary line not being
determined and why Japan now
thought It necessary to intervene.
The Japanese ambassador also dis
cussed other questions which havo
been of paramount importance for
some time. He reviewed the gradual
prowth and sudden death of what
Mime persons termed the American
Japanese question, maintaining as he
always has that the Japanese govern
ment never considered the existence
of any American-Japanese controversy
and explaining what he thought the
principal reason for some persons be
ing led to believe Japan and America
were no longer friendly.

That a stringent exclusion treaty be-
ween America and Japan is measure
ably nearer realization than the most
optimistic administration official could
have believed a short time ago, is the
judgment of the members of the dip
lomatic corps at Washington. This
ong sought object Is expected to be
attained perhaps as an indirect result
of the mobbing of the Japanese at
Vancouver, in British Columbia, last
Saturday night. Officials In Washlng-
on deplore, what they view ns an un
fortunate and unwarranted Infraction
of the treaty rights of the Japanese,
but they do not fall to perceive at
once the Important bearing that this
Incident will probably have upon the
negotiations between the state depart
ment and the Japanese ambassador
looking to the drafting of a treaty
that shall limit the incoming of Jap
anese coolies, instead of allowing tho
subject to be dealt with in the pres
ent loose fashion by what amounts to
semi-official undertakings on the part
of the Japanese government to with
hold passports to coolies coming di
rectly to the United States.
The belief that a treaty Is now with
in sight is based on the conviction of
officials that the Japanese govern
ment will now lo brought face to face
with the fact that as it cannot dis
criminate between Great Britain and
America in the matter of demands
for fair treatment of Its subjects, and
must by this time be convinced that
the problem presented is really a rac
ial one, the only solution will lie in
the formal recognition by Japan of the
right to restrict coolie immigration
not only In America, but in British
Columbia, Australia and other British
colonies.

Martial music, the old war-time tunes
to which the soldiers of the Civil War
had marched In many campaign,
awakened Saratoga at an early hour
Wednesday tho day of the parade of
the veterans who attended the national
encampment of the Urunu Army of the
Republic. It was expected that 15,000
paraders would be In line nnd the
weather, which wns unfavorable In the
early morning, gave promise of brlght
eultig before the hour, scheduled fbr the
start.
Significant of the falling strength of
the veterans was the fact that the pa
rading distance was reduced to one
mile the shortest ever fixed for the
national encampment. For the first
time the parade was limited to mem
bers of the Grand Army Instead of be
ing open to all survivors of the war.
The national colors covered the
fronts of buildings, were festooned at
every convenient point, strung hi rows
at short Intervals across the streets and
completely covered the Interior of the
great convention hall, where the ses
sions of the encampment were held.

the Board of Health knows, ns a number
of otherwise careful doctors have a habit
of keeping the news to themselves when
they are treating a disease which should

In the American Magazine, an explana
tion is given why the negroes of the
South are drifting so rapidly to the cities,
It is that they feel the lack of schooling
for their children' in the country und the
lack of police protection. The dilliculty
of keeping a supply of good labor Is caus

CUBA COSTS MILLIONS.
Espenaea at Army of Paetfleatlov
C 2,5S4,OTO for 1007.
It cost the American government $2,
554,070, In addition te the regular ordi
nary erpense, to keep the American army
of Cuban pacification in that Island dur
ing the fiscal year of 1007. This fact te
shown in the annual report of Gen. Ale
ehiro, quartermaster general of the army..
Of the amount stated $1,015,383 was
pent for transportation.
Gen. Aleshire devotes a few words to
the work of the quartermaster's depart
ment and its ramifications over a great
portion of the world covered by the Unit
ed States and Its territorial possessions,,
at the same time pointing out that the
strength of the corps consisted of . but
ninety-six commissioned officers and 2W
post quartermaster sergeants, in addition
to seventy-six line officers who were de
tailed la connection with thV department'
work.
The general points out the urgent ne
cessity for such an Increase in the num
ber of commissioned officers as will relieve
the department from the necessity of call
ing upon line officers to perform its du
ties ; also for an Increase in the num
ber of post quartermaster sergeants and
the creation of a general service corps for
the work of the department.
Gen. Aleshire expresses the opinion that
the limit of cost, now $20,000 for build
ings, which can be constructed without
apeciul authority of Congress ought to be
increased to $00,000. This is especially
urgent with reference to hospitals. '
lie says that carefully prepared statis
tics show that the prices of nearly all the
lumber used in ordinary construction have
advanced fully 100 per cent since 1004,
and the higher grades of finishing lum
ber even inure than that.
Because it Is economical the bulk of the
coal required for the trans 1'acific trans
port service is procured at Nagasaki,
Japan, where upon the return trip to the
United States all transports tuke aboard
coal to their cargo capacity. The coal
ing Is done very rapidly, as much as 3,003
tons having been put aboard in a work
lng day of ten hours.
