TOKIO. June . The, leading papers here
whose opinion ara worth quoting are silent
on the question of demanding Indemnity
for the so-called bombarding of Japanese
entabltshments In San Francisco. Repara
tion for the damage inflicted and the pun
ishment of the culprits Is expected and It
Is believed that the government Is taking
proper steps In the matter.
Though tha public here Is Irritated at the
tardiness displayed In effecting a solution
of the difficulty, opinion has not yet reached
tha slafe of advocating an appeal to a
hostile demonstration In any form. It la
true, however, that popular Indignation has
reached a degree never before witnessed
In tha history of Japan's relations with the
United States. It Is thought by influential
. Japanese that the quicker the facts re
garding the negotiations now in progress
her and In 'Washington ara published the
better It will be for all concerned, as a
stage haa now ben reached when It may
prove dangerous to keep tha people In bus
pense or Ignorance of what Is being done.
' Opinion of a Diplomat.
An experienced diplomat, who was
protege of Marquis Ito and Is a prominent
figure In national affairs, said today to a
representative of the Associated Press:
"America Is the last country with which
I expected complications with Japan. Tra
dltlonal friendship of the two nations unl
formly maintained by the government at
Washington makes me almost hesitate to
believe that an anti-Japanese sentiment ex
lsts In Uncle Sam's territory, though the
Unfortunate occurrences stand unassailable.
But before forming a final Judgment In the
present Instance It Is absolutely necessary
to . bear in mind that as In America the
autonomy of the various states Is jealously
guarded and the slightest Infringement or
Interference by the national authorities Is
deeply resented, consequently tha federal
'. government Is In ft most delicate position.
tjl "Fortunately the chief executive of the
E 'nlted Btntes is a wonderful personality,
Judging by his speeches and writings he
mtrht be called the incarnation of the
principles of Bushldo. There . Is no doubt
that ha Is resolute enough to cut this 'Oor-
dlan krlot.'
'The Japanese cause. In the present in
stance, Is right throughout, beyond, the
Shadow of a doubt. This Is a fact impos
Bible to escape the enlightened judgment
to a personage like President Roosevelt.
confidently expect that justice will be meted
out. and the sooner his action In this
matter Is made known the better."
Opposition Makes It sin .Inane.
' TOKIO, June (.The Hochl, whloh Is sup
porting Count Okuma In his position on the
American question, says this morning
"The San Francisco outrages are worse
than tha murder of a missionary in China,
which resulted In the occupation of Klao
Cnow
"Who would blame an appeal to tha last
measure of an lmpotency to protect treaty
rights Is proved?
"We hope, however, that Ambassador
Aokl will be firm enough to make the
Washington government quickly take
measures to mete out Justice to the
Japan8-"
NEW YORK. June (.Count Okuma,
former leader of the , progressives, the op
position party in Japan, in response to a
request by tha New Tork World, cabled
that paper tha following opinion regarding
the Incidents la Ban Francisco In which
. Japanese were Involved:
I deeoly . regret that anti-Japanese out
raves ara being repeated in Ban Francisco,
We, as a nation, were not satisfied with
the settlement of the last (school) Incident,
which resulted In unjust discrimination
asalnst and the actual expulsion of Japa
nese immigrants. We hoped that tho
principles laid down in the enlightened
message of President Roosevelt . last lie
camber would prevail and' that every un
Just discrimination against the Japanese
would be stopped. Repetition of Injustices
aealnat tha Japanese will seriously hurt
our warm feeling toward America and our
traditional rnenaatiip win oe wenxeuea
thereby.
Fair and lust treatment Is essential to
maintain friendship. Repeated outrageous
actions will not only damage American m
terests, but also discredit American clvlit
sat loa.
For the sake of lusttco and humanity
sincerely anneal to the American publl
to stop Boxerlike outrages and unfair dis
crimination against Japanese ana pray
that Washington's farewell, address be not
forgotten ry American people,
Couat Okuma has been minister of

dowed.

society, who has arrived her from New
Tork, May N, to attend tha Red Cross
conference which Is to open here June IX
throws cold water on the sensational re
ports of ths Ill-treatment of Japanese In
America, to which some of tha most staid
papers are devoting much attention. In an
Interview be is quoted as saying
Naturally, as a member of the house of
poers and a politician. I waa anxious to
see to what extent any anti-Japanese feel
ing existed In the United Btates. I may
say that the San Francisco affair is much
more local than I thought It was when I
. was in Japan. As a result of my mvestt-
fat Ions in the United Btates I in enabled
o declare that the feelinss of Americana
toward my country are most cordial. No
where did I find the least algn of unfriend
liness, with the exception of Ban Francisco.
We In Japan wish the situation between
ths two countries to become mora end
tnore harinuiilous, hence the desire that
po such jar aa occurred In Ban Francisco,
although a purely local one. should be n

We commend the course of " the Fifty-

We Indorse and approve the course

We Indorse those declarations and declare

ducts. NEW YORK. June . United States
Senator Philander C. Knox of Pennsylvania
tonight announced his willingness to become
a candidate for the presidency In 1904 should
the republican party see fit to nominate
him. Senator Knox's position was made
known In expressing his appreciation of
the action today of the republican state
convention at Harrisburg, Pa., whloh en
dorsed him as a candidate for that office.
Senator Knox, who la stopping at the
Waldorf-Astoria, learned tonight of his en
dorsement by the Harrisburg convention,
through the press dispatches. Having read
these. Including an abstract of the platform
adopted, he said to a representative of the
Associated Press:
"I am deeply sensible of the great honor
done me by my fellow republicans of
Pennsylvania.
"In their convention, composed of dele
gates elected directly by the people, they
have increased by many obligations to them
by coupling with the endorsement of the
administration of Theodore Roosevelt the
suggestion of my name as his successor.
"I note the convention's reference to the
fact that as attorney general and senator I
waa privileged to aid in the formulation
and carrying into legislation and Judicial
decision these Just policies for the pro
tection of the principles which have so
greatly endeared President Roosevelt to
the people. I value the action of the con
vention approving such public services aa I
have been enabled to render In the past
with a satisfaction nt exceeded by my
gratitude for the unsolicited pledge of sup
port for higher honors and graver duties
for the future. I have too profound a sense
of the dignity of the chief magistracy and
too intimate a knowledge of Its labors and
responsibilities to have sought this en
dorsement. If, however, the wishes of
Pennsylvania republicans and the reasons
they assign for their action should com
mend themselves to the national republi
can convention I would accept its action
with full appreciation of Its Import."
Senator Knox added that he would have
nothing further to say at present concern
ing his candidacy. Accompanied by Mrs.
Knox, he has been visiting friends here.
They will return to their home at Valley
Forge, Pa., tomorrow.
Taft Has Nothing; to lay.
WASHINGTON. D. C, June l The an
nouncement of Senator Knex In New York
tonight that ha would be willing to become
a presidential candidate In 1908 if tho party
nominated him created much Interest here.
Mr. Knox's endorsement was communicated
to the president, who read what the senator
had to say. but he made no' comment
thereon. Senator Foraker aald: '
"I am not surprised and am glad to hear
It. Senator Knox is a very able and wqrthy
man."

In " address before the Board of Trade

talned at luncheon, Mr. Bryan said:
"There has been a great deal of misun
derstanding between the farmers and those
engaged In trade and transportation. We
must get together. Ths farmer is at ths

to Having and the farmer knows It. mere

They hsve need of you, gentlemen, and the
trade. But they hold In economy of things
that you must furnish them certain things l
for a Just compensation they want you to
let competition settle the amount of com
pensation. As a western farmer I want to
voice the complaint of the western farmer
against the form of gambling In some of
'ur organisations. tspocuiaung in n.
neoessarics ofllfe Is a serious thing, and
when by betting, for instance, on wheat.
If the price of wheat Is lowered the farmer
is hurt, snd If the prlco Is advanced, the
man who buys the flour Is hurt. You seem
to distinguish between gambling and spec-
ulating In a way which amuses the western
farmer. A man who heta on the turn of a t

Mr. Bryan said hs was glad of an oppor-
tunlty to commend the action of President
that the president and I do not belong to
the same political party," said he. I am
very glad that he has seen fit to take
advantage of a plank that we put in our
platform. It was made for use and I am
glad some one was able to use It, and to
that end assert that anyone may use it
who can.
"What the farmer contends is that the
railroads are over-valued and that they are
forced to pay taxes on that over-valuation.
I ask that you unite with the farmer to
give him Just rates and to free him from
extortionate rates."

GOULD DIVORCE SUIT BEGINS
Conrt Hears Ar
i nt on Motion to
Strike Certain (haraes from
Complaint.
NEW YORK, June The case of Mrs.
Howard Gould, who has Instituted suit
I for a separation from her husband, How
j ard Gould, was given Its first public airing
in court today. Tne occasion was tne
hearing of arguments on motion of counsel
for Mr. Gould to strike out certain allega
tions In Mrs. Oould's complaint.
Arguments of considerable length were
J made and at their conclusion the attorneys
were given until Monday to file briefs In
the case.
The ground on which Mr. Gould la suing
her husband aa shown by parts of the
complaint read by counsel for Mr. Gould
are, first, abandonment of Mrs. Gould by
her husband; second, the allegation that
the habits and conduct of Mr. Gould are
such that It was Improper for his wife to
live with him; third, that since September
last he has neglected his wife, refused to
provide for her except that he paid for her
support at a New York hotel since that
time, and fourth, that Gould has treated
his wife with extreme cruelty, employed
spies to harrass her, caused her mall bag
to be tampered with, maintained improper
relations with women of bsd character
and employed an ex-convict and several
Now York detectivea to procure Improper
evidence against Mrs. Gould.
Delancey Nlcoll, who argued the case
for Mr. Gould, said that every allegation
against Mr. Gould will he denied when the
answer to the suit Is filed. He maintained
the charges to which he objected as scan
dalous and Irrelevant and did not tend to
support the allegation Of cruelty. He de
clared that the charges were made for the
purpose of putting the defendant In an
embarrassing position and that In other
cases where such allegations have been
Introduced the court has stricken them out.
In replying to Mr. Nlcoll'st argumen
Clarence Bhearn, counsel for Mrs. Gould,
said that If the defense would ask for a
bill of particulars specific charges would
be msde of so serious a character that
he would not presume to mention them In
court In the course of his argument.
Mr. Phearn argued that If the court should
strike out these allegations from the com
plaint It would do the plaintiff an ir
reparable Injury by not allowing her to
prove them when the case comes to trial.
On the other hand, If they were permitted
to remain the defendant still would have
the remedy left at the timo of the trial.
UTILITIES BIL IS SIGNED
Governor Hushes Affixes, glgrnntnre to
Most Importnnt Measure
of Session.
ALBANY, N. Y., June , The so-called
public utilities bill was signed today by
Governor Hughes. This act is one of the
moat far-reaching reform measures ever
passed by an American legislature. It
places under direct state control every
public service corporation excepting the
telegraph and telephone. It applies to the
street railway, subway, express, gas and
electrio companies and all . railroads or
other common carriers. '
The two commissions created by the
act will have most sweeping powers in
regulating these corporations. The bill
which was urged by Governor Hughes
reached its final passage in the face of
the most bitter and determined opposi
tion. It was vetoed by Mayor McClellan,
to whom It went under the law which
provides that all laws directly affecting the
city of New York must be passed upon
by the mayor. It then passed over the
mayor's veto.
WASHINGTON. D. C, June 6 Munici
pal ownership and the public regulation
and control of public utilities were dis
cussed at tonight's session of the National
Electric Light association. The public
utilities bill recently passed by the New
York legislature was pointed out In the
report of ' public policy as the most con
spicuous of recent measures of control.
The report says whatever may be the
advantages to the public attainable by
the law under favorable conditions, it can
not be denied that it has great opportuni
ties for evil under other conditions. In
deed, it Is difficult to suggest any other
political machine which would be any
thing like as effective In Its operation or
as baneful in its result.

MURDER 11IS TRADE
Harry Orchard Telli of the Killing of
Eig-hteen Men.
PLOT AGAINST STEUNENBEE0
Re Says Assassination Was First Sug
gested by Haywood.
LONG HUNT FOR THE VICTIM
Dramatio Story of How Death Trap
Was Fixed.
CROSS-EXAMINATION UNDER WAY
Witness Admits He Is a Bigamist,
that Ho Deserted Family In
Canada nnd Committed
Other Crimea.
BOISE, Idaho, June 6. Harry Orchar
crowned his admissions of grave crimes to
day when, continuing his case against Wil
liam D. Haywood, he made an explicitly
detailed confession of the murder of Frank
Steunenbsrg by an Infernal machine that
directly opens the way for hla own con
viction and execution for the mortal of
fense. He swore that the assassination of
Bteunenberg was first suggested by Hay
wood, was Jointly plotted by Haywood,
Moyer, Pettlbone and himself, wus financed
by Haywood and was executed by himself
sfter th failure of an attempt In which
Jack Blmpklns had participated.
Orchard lifted the total of his own mur
dered victims to eighteen, detailed the cir
cumstances under which he tried to mur
der former Governor Peabody, Judge Ood
dard. Judge Gabbert, General Sherman Bell,
Dave Moffatt and Frank Hearne. Inci
dentally he confessed to a 'plan to kidnap
the child of one of his former assistants.
Then, under cross-examination by the de
fense. Orchard confessed guilt of ths sordid
social crimes of deserting his young child
nnd wife In Ontario, fleeing to British
Columbia with Hattle Simpson, ths wife of
another man, nnd committing bigamy by
marrying a third woman at Cripple Creek,
through the shocking details of murder
plots, stories of secret bomb msklng and
tales of man hunts with sawed-off shotguns
and Infernal machines as weapons, the wit
ness went on In tho same quiet, offhand
manner that marked his demeanor yester
day. His voice dropped to lower keys as
the pitiful story of the long hunt for
Bteunenberg narrowed ' down to the last
day and he told of the race from the hotel
to the home of his victim with the death
trap and the meeting in the evening gloom
as the victim walked unconsciously to his
doom. Through it all he winced but once,
and that was when the defense made him
name his six sisters and his one brother
and give their residences in Ontario and ,
New York.
. Objections by Defense.
The defense fought the story "with- ft
multiplicity of objections and succeeded In
heading off an attempt of telling the story
of the murder of Arthur Collins st Tellu
rlde and temporarily shutting out the con
tents of a telegram received and a tele
gram sent by Orchard after his arrest. But
for the rest the state managed to get in
Ita story Intact
The state today began its corroboration
of Orchard's crimson tale by producing the
lead casing of the Peabody bomb. Orchard
Identified it, swore that he brought it from
Canyon City to Denver and then on to
Wallace, where he gave It to a man
named Cunningham. It was thrown into tha
river and the state promises to later prove
Its recovery,
Haywood and his klnfolk listened quietly
to the long recital and about their first
show of feeling was one of amusement
when Attorney Richardson began his on
slaught and brought out Orchard's domes
tic crimes.
There were the same precautions and
the same armed guards to protect Orohard
and the same court room scenes except
that among the spectators the women to
men were as two to one. There was an
other ruah for admittance and the doors
of the court had to be closed at both ses
sions. Orchard finished his direct examination
at S:SR o'clock and the cross-examination
had only reached down to the Couer
d'Alene days of 1899. when the court rose.
The cross-examination , will be continued
at o'clock tomorrow.
Trial la Resumed.
The trial was resumed at o'clock. ,
Orchard began his today s testimony by
giving the names of several persons he met
In Ban Francisco when ho went mere to
assassinate Fred Bradley, who had been
formerly the manager of the Bunker Hill
and Sullivan mine In the Couer d'AIeno
district of Idaho. These names were re
lated in order to pave the way for a pos
sible corroboration of Orchard's testimony
at this point
Orchard said ho was known a part of ths
time he was in Ban Francisco by ths nams
of Barry. Leaving California, Orchard re
turned to Denver, wearing the uniform of a
soldier. Ha said ha Immediately oalled Pet
tlbone on the telephone.
"Pettlbone asked me how Bradlsy was,"
continued Orchard. "I told htm Bradley
was V.1U alive when I loft Ban Francisco,
bu,V waa reported hs would lose his eye
ijl 4 and probably be deaf for the reut
yit Ufa. Pettilione said that was better
""So If I bad killed him outright that
rw(adley would now be a living exainpl."

assurance that he could get mors whunv
bs wanted It Orchard said Haywood next
asked him "to go to work on Judga Gab

Lay In Wult for Judge.
"He .aid Judge Gabbert," Orchard went
on, "had been rendering decisiona against
Moyer, who we wer. trying to gst out
of Tellurlde on habeas corpus. I wsnt to
Judge Gabbert' s house the following Sun
