It was hinted arsterday about the telegraphers" .head quarters In Oakland that some friction had developed between President Small and the three members of the executive committee f the national union who came west with Commissioner Neill and one of them Is said to have strongly Intimated that there would be no extension of the strike to other cities, I whatever might be the outcome here. It Is believed that strong Influences will be brought to persuade the operators to accept the terms offered by the companies. Whatever terms covering wages and Jhours are agreed upon In settling the strike), the unionists declare they will Insist upon the reinstatement of all members now out, President Small says he will probably tnake public today the result of bis confer ence with Commissioner Neill.

I will S-ecommend that our executive board meet In that city next Tuesday. The Insinuation that there exists friction, between the offi cers of the union Is nonsense. "The strike In San Francisco and Oak land will continue," said Mr. Small. There are not enough telegraphers to till the positions and there Is no worry about atrike-breakera. "The talk about calling another strike Is rnislcudlng. The telegraphers everywhero tjeslre an adjustment of the difficulties once ' Jor all and they want It soon. We have ' ' como to a place where we must assert jour rights, and I predict a change In the telegraphic world In the near future, one 'that will augur weU for the future pros perity of tboaa engaged In the service, the tockhotdera of the two companies, and j Improved aervlee to the public." j PEACE IN CENTRALAMERICA lienor Corea, Nirarairoan Minister, ' Takea Optimistic View of Southern Situation. j WASHINGTON, July 17.

Following a cabinet V -.Hf yesterday, which lasted four houia, V. 'inter had an audience with the em - the evening, continuing for three It was transpired that the premier ade a strongly worded representation or I the gravity of the situation, caused by his ' maiesty'a sending a deputation to tho Peace conference at The Hague. He boldly pointed out the necessity for the emper or's abdication In favor of the crown prince, and of his proceeding to Toklo and apologizing to the emperor of Japan. The Corea n emperor made no definite reply. On retiring from the palace, the premier Immediately called another cabinet meet ing, which lasted until 2 o'clock this morn ing. The cabinet Is determined definitely to decldo on Corea's attitude today, or by the time of the arrival of Viscount Hay ashl, Japanese foreign minister. It Is be lieved that the ministers will Insist upon the abdication of the emperor at all risk. The II Chlng Hot progressive association, which Is supporting the present cabinet, has officially applied to Marquis Ito to help save Corea from the grave consequences of the emperor's action against Japan. It is reported that the emperor lias with drawn 4O0.000 yen deposited In the bank of Shanghai. It Is not considered likely that the emperor will yield to the demand for his abdication without a struggle. Despite the perturbation and exclienent of the court and cabinet tho populace gen erally Is calm. Even the nntt-Japanese asso ciation has Issued a manifesto urging tha necessity of a peaceful, prudent attitude St this critical stage of the situation. The emperor, In the opinion of close observers, has alienated popular affection. TARIFF REVISION SHELVED Guests of President Itench Conclusion It Most Come After Next C'ona-rcaa. OYSTER BAY, July 17.

V, Illinois anu 11. r.. much. r.-p.r.,l. .... i WlBConsin Tariff Revision league, discussed , the subject pf tariff revision at the lunch- eon. Senator Hopkins, on leaving, said that the conclusion was reached that no tariff revision should be undertaken until tho next presidential election. "It would be suicidal to the republican party," the senator added, "to undertake a revision of the tariff during the next congress. After the presidential election I believe tt will be the duty of the repub lican pe.rty to revise the tariff and that It will be done. Mr. Hopkins remarked that he believed such an argument would appeal to and be accepted by the republican re vlslonlsta In all parts of the country. Of Speuker Cannon Mr. Hopkins said: "Of course If President Roosevelt was a candidate there would not be the slightest opposition In the convention to Mr. Can non's nomination. But I am convinced Mr. Roosevelt will not consider the nomination. 'Speaker Cannon will have tho entire Illinois delegation solidly behind htm and I thoroughly believe that If nominated ho would make the best race of any man the republican party could put forward."
