It was this very question of consulting
China which caused the postponement of
the final acceptance of this article, but
there Is nothing substantial to support the
uggestlon. The question Is complicated
and it required all of -the morning and the
major portion of the. afternoon session to
come to the agreement "In principle."
It should be stated that the Chinese East
ern railroad has never been under the ad
ministration of the minister of ways and
communications, Prince Hllkoff, but always
under the control of a director nominated
by the ministry of finance. The present
director Is M. Winxell.
Pressure on Japan,
There were persistent rumors about the
hotel late that several powers. Including the
Washington government, are bringing pres
sure to bear upon Japan to forego "the
cost of the war" and content Itself with
such other compensation aa It can secure
out of the railroad, the Russian property In
Port Arthur and Dalny. and the cost of the
maintenance of Russian prisoners In Japan,
this only on the theory that Russia will
eventually agree to cede Sakhalin, which Is
now potentially conquered territory. This
la undoubtedly the line of ultimate compro
mise. If compromise there la to be.
The Associated Press can state author,
tatlvely that neither the question of mak
ing Vladivostok , an "open port" or the
Amur river an International waterway, as
some papers have wated, ts- Included In the
Japanese 'terms, which, as developments
have demonstrated, were given' correctly
by the Associated Press the day they were
submitted by Japan.
Will Insist on Interned Ships,
Japan will make a stiff fight for the pos
session of the Interned Russian warships.
Mr. Denlson, the American legal adviser of
the Japanese mission, spent most of the
day In his office looking up the precedents
on the subject. Japan Is-- exceedingly
anxious to obtain these ships and In tta ar
gument will quote several" International
precedents In support of Its demands. One
reason way the Japanese are so Insistent
upon this article la because of their Inten
tion not to apply the Indemnity, In case one
shall be obtained, to the Increase of the
navy. The Indemnity will be used first In
paying off financial .obligations Incurred dur
ing the war, the granting of pensions and
the development of , the Japanese educa
tional system. To replace the losses to the
floet Incurred In the war and to maintain
the fleet up to a standard of strength and
efficiency sufficient to defend Its Interests,
Japan needs ' additional battleships and
cruisers. If It obtains all of the Russian
ships now Interned In neutral harbors and
succeeds In raising a number of those sunk
In battle. It will be saved the necessity for
the present of a large naval budget for new
construction. The London government Is
strongly In favor of Insistence upon this
article, and Japan seems to have set Its
heart upon the surrender of the ships by
Russia.
M. Wltte has provisionally arranged to
go with Baron Rosen to Magnolia on Sun
day to spend the day with Baroness Rosen.

pect for the conclusion of peace." The
paper declares that If the Russians had
rejected absolutely the questions of relm
busement and the cession of Sakhalin Isl
and, the Japanese would have withdrawn
from the conference. These demands are
equally as Important as ihe Corean and
Manchurian questions. Japan's victories
have been realized by the vast sacrifice of
money and blood without the prospect
of Russia's compliance In the payment of
war expenses and the transfer of Sakhalin
Island. There Is no reason why the con
ference should not be continued.
The Nichl Nichl expresses the belief that
the Russian delegates divulged the nature
of the Japanese demands and suggests that
the Japanese delegates abandon the plan
of secrecy and keep their people Informed
as to the progress of the conference.

It la better to give Manchuria to noboiy

quite different with the line uniting Vladi

for the Muscovite empire, because of its

SUPERVISION OF INSURANCE
Federal Control of Intentata Tramaotitiii
Subject of Conference at Ojiter Bay.
PRESIDENT TAYORS PASSAGE OF LAW
dnestloa of Constltatloaallty
Act Will Be rreseated
to the Snpreme
Coart.
OYSTER BAT. N. Y., Aug. 1.-Federal
supervision of Insurance was this afternoon
the subject of a conference at Sagamore
Hill, so Important that one of the par
ticipants, James M. Beck, formerly an
assistant attorney general of the United
States and now, special counsel for the
Mutual Life Insurance company of New
York, missing the regular train from Long
Island city to Oyster Bay, chartered a spe
cial train In order to meet hla engagement
with the president.
The. parties to the conference were the
president. Senator Dryden of New Jersey,
president of the Prudential Insurance com
pany, and Mr. Beck.
Senator Dry den arrived at 12:10 this after
noon. Mr. Bock reached here fifteen minutes
later and in' time to Join the president's
luncheon party, which consisted of Am
bassador Hengelmuller of Austria-Hungary,
Senator Dryden, Charles H. Keep, assistant
secretary of the treasury, and Robert
Bridges of New Tork, an author and maga-
ilne writer, who Is a personal friend of
fhe president. The conference followed the
luncheon.
View of the President.
The president for a considerable time, but
especially since the disclosures made dur
ing the last few months regarding the
operations of the Equitable Life Assurance
society, has manifested a deep interest In
the problem of national control of the In
surance business. In his message to con
gress last December he said:
The business of Insurance vitally affects
the great mass of the people of the I'nlted
States and Is national, not local. In Its
application. It Involves a multitude of
transactions among tne people or tne af
ferent states and between American com
panies and foreign governments. I urge
that the congress carefully consider whether
the nower of the bureau of corporations
cannot constitutionally be extended to cover
Interstate transactions In insurance.
Mr. Garfield's Opinion.
Several months ago at the president's
request the subject of national supervisory
control of Insurance was Investigated by
Commissioner Garfield of the bureau of
corporations, when the conclusion was
reached that under existing federal laws
the insurance business could not be super
vised by the bureau of corporations because
In the light of the constitution and In view
of certain decisions of the federal courts
It was not regarded as Interstate com
merce. (
At the last session of congress Senator
Dryden, who is recognized as an authority
on life insurance, introduced a bill In the
senate providing In brief for supervisory
control of Interstate Insurance business by
the bureau of corporations. It was along
the lines of this measure that today's con
ference proceeded. The president Is under
stood to be in favor of federal control of
the Insurance business if It can be brought
about constitutionally. Whether It can be
Is the point yet to be determined. That
the .supreme court of the United States
eventually will be called upon to pass upon
the question there is little doubt.
Attltnde of Insurance Companies.'
At the conclusion ot the conference Sena
tor Dryden talked frankly. He said:
We discussed the whole subject of fed
eral supervision of the Insurance business,
and our talk was very satisfactory. Per
sonally I am heartily In favor of such
supervision py tne ..national government,
becauxe it would insure to companies do
ing business In several or In many states
a well defined and well cnnsldered set of
regulations and a definite pulley.
1 Introduced in the senate at the lost
session a measure providing for supervisory
control of interstate insurance by tne bu
reau oi cvrporuuuna.-. i um tiu uri'tiuae i
wanted to call out suggestions and to
sound publlo opinion on the subject. I
had the bill referred to the Judiciary com
mittee In order that it might be passed
upon in Its inclplency by the ablest law
yers In the senate. I expect to reintro
duce the measure early in the next con
gress, perhaps in a slightly different form.
The principle of the new measure, how
ever. Will be the same as that of the first
bill.
Will Oo to Supreme Conrt.
Mr. Beck expressed the belief that If
the subject were brought fairly before the
supreme court Its decision would be In
favor of federal control. He said:
The supreme court never has been called
upon to pass upon a federal statute bear
ing on this subject. In the cuse of Paul
against Virginia, a state law was Involved.
My Judgment Is that if congress should
enact a law providing for federal control,
it would be declared by the supreme court
to be constitutional. 1 believe such a law
would be enacted, and, of course, our flirt
effort will be to obtain a decision regard
ing it by the United States supreme court.
While no announcement was made of the
conclusion of the eonference, If any were
reached trere was ample authority for the
statement that President Roosevelt will
discuss the question of Insurance In his
forthcoming message to congress in the
light of developments In the last six
months; that he will recommend the en
actment of legislation providing for federal
supervision of Interstate insurance there la
no room for doubt.

Assistant Secretary Charles J. Keep of
the Treasury department, chairman of what
Is known as .the Keep commission ap
pointed by the president a few months
ago to make a general investigation Into
the organisation, personnel, correspond
ence, methods of purchase of supplies and
of keeping accounts of the various gov
ernment departments In Washington, came
to .Oyster Bay to present the report and
findings of his committee In the recent In
vestigation ot the proposed purchase ot
typesetting machines for tha government
prlntjng office. The Keep commission con
sists of five members, Mr. Keep, chairman;
James R. Garfield, commissioner of cor
porations; Assistant Secretary Lawrence
O. Murray of the Department of Labor
and Commerce; Frank H. Hitchcock, as
sistant postmaster general, and Qifford
Pinchot of the bureau of forestry. Soon
after the creation ot the commission tho
government printer, General Palmer, pro
posed to enter Into a contract to pur
chase seventy-two Lanston typesetting ma
chines tor use In the government printing
office. Spirited competition had been
aroused between the Lanston and the
Mergenthaler companies for the contract.
Charges of unfair dealing were made by
the latter company and Its officials carried
their complaints direct to President Roose
velt. He ordered the Lanston contract held
up pending an investigation and directed
the Keep commission to make a rigid In
quiry Into the letting of the contract. The
conclusions of the commission were laid
before the president by Chairman Keep
today and were approved by him.
Further than to say that the president
had approved the findings of the com
mission and that whatever announcement
may be made concerning the report must
come from the president. Mr. Keep de
clined to discuss the matter. It is known,
however, that tha commission developed an
unfortunate condition of affairs In the
printing office, a condition not necessarily
dishonest, but detrimental to the Interests
of the government. No statement la au
thorised regarding the committee's recom
mendation aa to the contract tor the ma

gave a brief history of the attempt of
the wool growers to secure a hearing be
fore the senate committee in 1903 and
stated that the failure of that committee
to secure a hearing and a general reduc
tion of the tariff on wool had resulted In
the total destruction of the wool growing
Industry.
S. H. Cowan of Texas declared that If
the gentlemen of the convention were not
willing to surrender politics In the Inter
ests of commerce they might better have
stayed away.
Officers F.leeted.
Upon the opening of the afternoon ses
sion permanent officers for the conference
were recommended as follows:
Permanent chairman, Hon. 8. B. Pack
ard. Iowa; first vice chairman, William C.
Maybury, Michigan; second vice chairman,
I. T. Frlor, lexas: third vice chairman,
Andrew O. Webster. Massachusetts; sec
retary, W. R. Corwlne, New York; assist
ant secretary, Frederick Larrabee, Iowa.
In assuming the . gavel as permanent
chairman, Mr. Pnckard addressed the con
ference. He said in part:
The farmers of this country have no
sympathy for tho tariff as the means of
forcing concessions in foreign markets.
Heretofore when tariff laws have been
made the farmer, unorganized, has not
been represented, so now, when he finds
the Outlet for his. surplus In danger, he
desiands that some of those high margins
put into the Dlngley .schedules for trading
purposes be used for the purposes in
tended. He Is not going to tolerate the
suggestion of any more tariff war than
we have already had. This business of
heroism In sacrificing one's wife's relations
does not please him highly when he con
siders himself the relation.
After ah address by Senator Cullom,
Chairman Packard announced the commit
tee on resolutions, among the members
being: W. A. Harris, Kansas; Frank J.
Hagenbarth, Idaho; William Larrabee.
Iowa; Murdo MacKensle, Colorado; Marlon
Sampson, Texas; Charles P. genter, Mis
souri; Conrad Kohrs, Montana.
Address by Mr. Foes.
Eugene N. Foss of Boston was then Intro
duced and addressed the convention:
On the working out of a practical scheme
of reciprocity, the country will need the
interest, the Influence, and the co-operation
of the fanner, the merchant, the manu
facturer, the financier, the shipper, the
miner, the wage earner, the professional
or salaried class as well as the counsel of
the specialist, tho colonial administrator,
and tne wise diplomat of the order of the
lamented John Hay. All these Interests
should be effectively reported to the com
mittee or commission to be charged
with the duty of the Institution of
an economic system, which shall be
permanent and flexible. "Such a com
mission as this would command public con
fidence and the support of all parties. Con
press .would hesitate to ignore the findings
of such a body, supported by the Intelli
gent interests and approval of the country.
There might be disagreements and modi
fications by congress which would be wholly
proper; but If the spirit of the legislation
recommended, by .tbs commission were
violated or Its beneficent purpose destroyed,
the president in his Inevitable veto would
know that he had the country back of
him. '. ,.
Let us not deoeive ourselves .regarding
the German situation. It Is not Germany
alone with which we have to deal, but all
Europe, but all 'the civilized world.
Germany Is nnlyhe' leader. I believe.
broadly speak'ng, that the peace and
prosperity of the .twentieth century Is de

and skill with which our statesmen meet

fronted. In the lUrectloiv of the greatest

Mr. Howes 'of Boston moved that A. H.
Sanders, ex-Senatof Harris and W. E. Skin
ner of the. committee . on arrangements be
a committee to prepare and report to the
conference at its meeting tomorrow a list
of names of those to form a permanent
national committee on better trade rela
tions with foreign Countries and to actively
promote the objects for which the con
ference had been failed. The matter was
referred to the committee on resolutions
without any discussion and the conference
then adjourned to reconvene at 9:30 to
morrow morning.

Deaths 4
Total deaths to date 17
New disease centers 19
Total disease centers If
Cases under treatment 414
No material change In the situation Is
looked for In the Immediate future. The
small numlwr of deaths indicate the type
of the disease la not as malignant as at
first supposed. The death rate is about 11
per cent.
There were no prominent people among
the new cases, but the majority of them
are among the people of comfortable cir
cumstances. Only six of the new disease
centers are above Canal street.
The campaign against yellow fever has
now resolved Itself Into dry routine and
today brought little In the way .of new
developments. The fact that the deaths
have not risen la considered an Important
sign and this wfth the decrease of foci and
the gradual perfection of the system under
which the federal authorities are battling
to prevent a rapid multiplication of cases
was considered by Dr. White today to be
sufficient to warrant him In saying that
the situation was bright and the outlook
hopeful. In 1S78 at this time deaths were
occurring at the rate of from twenty to
forty a day, with very much smaller popu
lation.
Dr. White continued today his tactful
work of removing all obstacles to the
smooth operayon of the campaign. He is
reluctant to invoke the law against re
calcitrant citizens or physicians until all
other measures have been exhausted.
Organising- Inspection Service.
Prof. A. L. Mets of Tulane university
was today put In full charge of the organ!
cation of the Inspection service. Under
his direction squads will inspect all houses
to see mat cisterns nave-oeen screened
and sanitary conditions enforced. When
the squads have been fully organized and
drilled they . will be lurried over to the
surgeons in each of the wards. In re
sponse to its inquiry the state oyster com
mission, in session today, received a letter
from President Souchon of the State Board
of Health promising his co-operation In
the work of removing obstacles to the open
lng'of the oyster season on September L
1 Dr. John Gulteras spent the day in
specting conditions generally In the fever
districts. He expects while here to de
vote much of his time to the emergency
hospital in a study of the coses taken
there for treatment. Dr. Gulteras said
that New Orleans ought to establish a
permanent yellow fever hospital as ought
every city exposed to the Importation of
yellow fever. That has already been de
cided on here and a modern Institution will
be erected as soon as the present visitation
is over. ,
It was said today that while Dr. Berry
of the marine hospital service, who Is In
the Touro Infirmary, has not yet fuiiy
entered the stage ot convalescence, he is
doing well and there Is confidence felt in
his recovery.
Landlords Are Fined.
; The first of the affidavits mode against
citizens who failed to screen their cisterns
came up for trial before Recorder Fogarty
today. The accused were prominent land
lords. They made what would ordinarily
be taken as good excuses! but Judge Fo
garty said that in a crisis like this they
would not go In his court. The Judge
fined the accused $25 or thirty days. A

be called in and a coercive district meet
ing held before Hume was tamed, but
finally, when another local firm butted Into
the field, he was shown the right path. To
the end he refused to pay a money penalty,
giving Instead full cars of grain to even up
receipts with his competitors."
Like instances were given of campaigns
against local buyers at Humphrey, Fuller
ton and a dozen other places. All contests
ended practically the same In the local
buyers having to "knuckle down" or go
out of business.
"The only persons we could not control,"
said the witness, "were the farmers. They
would go where they pleased and sell to
whom they pleased, but we got pur share of
the grain in the end."
In answer to a question touching his ex
perience as a grain buyer at .Beatrice, Mr.
Peavry said:
"Beatrice la the one point In the state
that never has had an agreement." But
he told of several experiences In the coun
try contiguous to Beatrice which Indicated
that agreements have crept up pretty close
to that town.
Worrall Prodaeea Documents.
Thomas D. Worrall occupied the stand
all morning and part of the afternoon In
giving testimony as to his knowledge of the
formation of a grain trust to regulate
prices and divide the grain business of
Nebraska. .
Mr. Worrall had with him a handbag,
which seerhed to contain about everything
in tha way of documentary evidence of the
existence of the trust that Attorney Gen-
era! Brown could call for. It was a regu-
lar conjurer's bag. in fact, and Worrall
says that, like -dad s dinner pair1 of the
yy nl " rWC"ed UnU'
Mr. Worrall first dug out of the bag
a duplicate of the first agreement lie
entered into, "after long and prayerful
consideration." The duplicate was type
written and Mr. Worrall said that when
entered Into it waa not signed; was a sort
ot gentlemea'a agreement. This was at

roster of the rnombershlp of the Nebraska

Prodneea Original Map.
'This ts the original map," said the wit
ness. "It was drawn up in the private
office of the Omaha Elevator company one
night in October, 19n2. It was a big Job
and there was lots of rag chewing over It
before we got It right. Some of the men
present were at first a little scary about
going Into It, but we finally got together
on these lines."
In concluding his tale of the efforts
of himself and others of the governing
committee, the methods snd diplomacy
used to accomplish the object In view, he
said:
"We used to present to the disturbers
the fact that we were aiming to enable
them to make more money with less work.
Where we succeeded and where harmony
and true brotherly feeling and understand
ing was established there was no competi
tion." How TTiey Filed Things.
"Where two or more buyers would not
talk to each other when they met, where
they would not sit on each other's doorstep
and visit, we knew there was disturbance
and aimed by every means In our power to
have It fixed. Bometimes we succeeded
and sometimes we did not."
Mr. Worrall told how the association,
through himself and some other members,
had paid one man 11,700 more thnn his
plant was worth to "allay a disturbance'
by getting him out of the field.
Of the groups of counties forming dls
trlcts, he said they, were gotten up for
convenience and so that only the men
In any given group need be called to a
meeting when a disturbance arose; that
is. when some obstreperous person vlO'
lated the card price.
Mr. Worrall told of one momentous meet
Ing of the association following the leglsla
tlvo session of 1903.
We decided that we must keep the farm
ers' organizations out of the field, by one
m?ans or another, & circumtanc?n d
manded; at some places by underbidding
and at others by agreements with the
railroads.
How it Was Worked.
"If a bunch of them made application
for a site on the right-of-way the rail
road officials would postpone the action
for, say, sixty days. Then the decision
would be further put off three months to
see If we could not discourage them. When
the matter had come to a showdown we
would resort to any scheme of diplomacy
that seemed to fit the case. Always the
object was to block the game."
All the attorneys seemed to understand
Just what this meant. A quiet smile went
around the table and Mr. Worrall contin
ued to smoke and smile in a retrospective
way himself.
In answer to questions specific, as to
names, the witness gave a long list of
companies and Individuals who made the
price cards for . the. different districts.
These were located In Omaha and at many
other points throughout the . state. This
was following 1902, when centralization was
effected In the lead pipe fashion.'
Worrall went Over the matter of division
of grain and how this was brought about
by the man who had more than his
share lowering his price until the others
caught up on quantity, when he would
again get in the game.
Witness said all the real business was
done at the district meetings, which were
always executive.

PORTLAND, Ore., Aug. 16 -Unless In
dications fall the sessions of the Trans
mlsst.ylprl congress, which assembled here
today, will be rent In twain before the
congress Is twenty-four hours old. Utterly
antagonistic views are held by the dele
gations representing California and other
western states and those representing Ore
gon and Washington on the subject of
Chinese Immigration. This fact first be
came manifest during Governor Chamber
iHln's address. The Oregon executive had
hardly finished the perfunctory welcome to
the congress when he launched an emphatlo
dictum to the effect that while the com
merce with China Is valuable the influx of
Chinese coolies Into the Pacific coast states
Is too high a price to pay for It, and this,
he said in effect, would be the result if
the exclusion laws were not administered
with the utmost stringency.
Though not so emphatic In his declara
tions. Governor Mead expressed slmillar
views on the subject.
Governor Pardee of California In re
sponding for his state displayed an evident
desire to evade an allusion to the subject
of immigration.
The fight probabjy will be Initiated before
the committee on resolutions, where It la
almost a foregone conclusion that the sen
tlment of tho different sections of tha
coast will be presented In resolutions com
mitting the congress to one side of the con
tention or the other.
Governor Chamberlain welcomed the dele
gates on behalf of Oregon. Governor Al
bert E. Mead of Washington followed.
The welcoming address of United States
Senator Charles W. Fulton was followed
by that of Henry M. Cake, president of
the local Commercial club. W. D, Wheel
wright then spoke In'behatf of the Port
land Chamber of Commerce.
Governor George C. Pardee of California, ,
who delivered the response on behalf of
California, was accorded an ovation.- Re
sponses were also made by Hon. John W.
Noble, first vice president of the congress;
L. B. Prince of New Mexico, and Hon.
John E. Frost of Kansas.
The conference adjourned until tomor
