Leaguers Abandon Sight-Seeing
and Get Down to Religious Work
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
(By Associated Press.)
San Francisco, July 20.—A spirit of animation and enthusiasm
marked the work of the third day of the International Epworth League
convention. The delegates had been admonished at the close of yes
terday's meetings by Rev. Dr. Berry, general secretary of the league,
that there had been too much sight-seeing and "that all should get to
work and pump salvation into these people."
This injunction was obeyed. The visitors forsook the allurements
of sight-seeing today and devoted their attention to one of the congre
gations of fervid religious enthusiasm and soul-saving for which Meth
odism is noted. Under the influence of the bright sunshine and a cool
and invigorating breeze off the Pacific, the visitors sought the places
of meeting early.
Every one had become rested and there was entire absence of
anything resembling weariness. Enthusiasm and a manifest determin
ation to make this the big day of the big convention was everywhere
evident. Everything went with a vim that had been lacking at some
of the previous sessions.
Again did the sunrise prayer meetings, with which the more de
vout opened the day, draw crowded houses at every one of the four
principal Methodist places of worship. From that early hour on
throughout the morning every path seemed to lead crowds to the pa
vilion, the Alhambra theater and to Metropolitan temple, Central and
Howard Street churches.
The 9 o'clock opening song service at each of these assembling
places saw greater audiences than had before joined in the first
hymn of the day. A long programme of speeches was gone through
with promptness, all being listened to with the deepst interest and ap
plauded with hearty enthusiasm. Open air meetings were held at half
a dozen places.

Portland, Ore., July 20.—Experiments

At one time the government main

Since then vessels have been reported

The government now proposes to re

to re-open telegraphic communication
With the mainland. If the experiment
with wireless telegraphy fails, a cable
will be laid between the island and Neah

Owing to currents and rocks between
the island and mainland, the life of a ca

Poor In Japan Growing /jorer
ONE OF THE WEALTHIEST MEN
PIRE SAYS CONDITIONS A

XXXXXXXXXS**XXXXXXXXXX%XXXXXXX
(By Associated Press.)
New Jork, July 20.—Baron Hisaya Iwaki, who
is said to be one of the wealthiest of the mikado's
subjects, sailed for England from this port today,
with two of his brothers and three fellow coun
trymen, on the steamship Umbria.
In discussing the condition of Japan, he said
that in his native land the rich were growing
richer and the poor growing poorer.
Baron Iwaki is a graduate of Pennsylvania
university of the class of '81, but for the last ten
years has been living in Tokio. He carries the
hereditary title of "danshatku," or "baron," to
which he succeeded not long ago, and, besides
t>eing a wealthy man, is a student of industrial
and social questions.
"Have you any poor in Japan?" he was asked.
"We have," he answered, "and they are con
tinually increasing in numbers. The rich are grow
r le her and the poor poorer, although the change
is gradual. It is due to the introduction of the
new industrial system."
When asked if anybody had hit on*a remedy,
he said:
"That will have to be found by the political
economists, won't it? Perhaps the only real rem
edy is socialistic. We shall be glad to see you put
one into effect and then we may follow your
example."
"How do your fellow countrymen regard the
Chinese situation?" was asked. "Do they think
now there is any danger of their having to fight
Russia?"
"Why, the trouble over Manchuria has been
all settled, of course,'' he said. "Under present
conditions there is no probability of our going to
war. We do not desire the the dismemberment of
China. What we do want is the 'open door,' just
what you want.
"Japan has a great deal at stake in this mat
ter. Should china be dismembered we might find
much of her coast in possession of Russia and then
our free commercial intercourse with China would
be stopped. No one can tell what we might do to
protect our lights. What we desire, of course,
is peace."

Reorganization ot Liberal Party
Among Immediate Possibilities
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
(By Associated Press.)
London, July 20.—Tlie general view among the liberals is that Mr.
Asquith has severed himself poltically from Lord Rosebery and that
the situation remains as it was Immediately after the Reform club
meeting.
It is noticed as significant that Mr. Asquith deliberately ignored
Lord Rosebery's manifesto. It is rumored Lord Rosebery intends to
conduct a movement in support of his own views, which are to con
stitute a liberal party on a new and national basis.
Lord Rosebery seems incapable of making himself understood, al
though he speaks with fluency and writes with lucidity. Whenever he
issues a manifesto on the poiitlca situation some authorized com
mentary upon it becomes necessary. His speech at the City Liberal
club was designed to elucidate the letter previously sent, but was in
complete and a third explanatory not would not be out of place.
YVhile he was declaring that he would plough his own furrows Mr.
Asquith's friends were pulling- themselves together for a melancholy
feast. About 400 liberals attended the Asquith dinner, of whom only
35 were members of parliament.
Mr. Asquith's speech was merely a repetition of the views previ
ously expressed and was singularly colorless. He maintained that his
protest against the identification of the party with the pro-Boer views
had been productive of good and proved that freedom of speech could
be exercised in the permanent interests of their party and that the
country supported Lord Rosebery's views as to the necessity of a
broad-minded view of the needs of the empire.
He spoke scathingly of the abortive efforts of the government to
solve problems of temperance and education, adding that to the liberal
party alone could the country look for effective legislation.
