BY ASSOCIATED PRESS,
Port Arthur, Oct. 28.-The Novykrai, a
newspaper edited by a member of Viceroy
Alexieff's staff, after reiterating the as
sertion that "The Russian troops will re
main in Manchuria until far eastern af
fairs are settled in accordance with Rus
sian views," proceeded to outspokenly lec
ture the Japanese, necessarily with the
approval of the Russian censorship.
"Now," says the Novykrai, "is precisely
the proper moment for Russia to establish
a political equilibrium in the East. The
Japanese have failed in Formosa because
they do not understand how to colonize.
The efforts of the Japanese to obtain set
tlements in Korea, having their own juris
diction, would lead to the subjection of
the Koreans and impair the society of
Korea. Japan has not attained the status
of a European state and cannot be en
trusted with the rights of European civi
lization on the continent. All that can
be tolerated is the Immigration of Japanese
into Korea under guard."
BOTH ARE COMING
Senator Clark Has Word
From Senator Gibson
and J. J. Hill.
Senator W. A. Clark is in receipt of a
telegram from Senator Gibson of Great
Falls stating that he, accompanied by
James J. Hill of Minneapolis, will be in
this city tomorrow to meet with the other
members of the committee.
When seen by an Inter Mountain repre
sentative today, Senator Clark stated that
he is willing and anxious to in any way
further the settlement of the deplorable
condition confronting the state of Mon
tana.
"I trust," continued Senator Clark, "that
it will be within the province of this com
mittee to find some fortunate solution to
the question which will hasten an amica
ble settlement that will permit the reopen
ing of the mines and smelters.
"This shutdown means so much to the
people of the state that all parties in
volved should be willing to consider the
interests of the public, and with this in
view I hold myself in readiness to assist
in relieving the existing difficulty.
"At this time it is quite impossible to
determne just how or what the committee
will decide in the matter, but I feel cer
tain the interests of all parties will be
consl.ered and the committee will do all
within its power to hasten a settlement
looking to the protection of the properties
of those involved, and to the resumption
of work in the mines and smelters and
the relief of the thousands of men, women
and children affected by the shutdown."
Hill Is Coming.
SPECIAL TO THE INTER MOUNTAIN.
Great Falls, Oct. a8.-Senator Paris
Gibson received a telegram today from
President Hill of the Great Northern stat
ing he had left St. Paul for Butte to try to
effect a settlement of the trouble that
brought about the shutdown.
The assertion that Mr. Rogers is
responsible for the alleged shutdown
of the plants of the Colorado Fuel &
Iron company, is another mendacious
one. iMr. Heinze's alleged dis
patches regarding it bear all the evi
dences of fake. The press dis
patches have not reported any such
threatened condition, and the state
ment that Mr. Rogers is responsible
for it is wholly and absolutely with
out foundation, and can be nothing
but an invention of Mr. Heinze. Mr.
Rogers is not even an officer of the
Colorado Fuel & Iron company,

Heinze.

police for the murderer of Sagatel Sa
gouni, president of the Armenian Revolu
tionary society of London, who was shot
and killed by an unknown assassin in the
suburbs of Nunhcad late Monday evening.
had been futile up to noon today. Several
foreign revolutionary clubs were raided

spired that the police yesterday evening
were misinformed on the subject of the
pistol used by the assassin being an auto
matic to-shooter. It is an ordinary five
shot, silver-plated revolver. An important
point developed at the inqlest was that
the murderer shot with his left Iland.
A verdict of wilful murder was ren

INVESTIGATION INTO THE
PACIFIC COAST FRAUDS
Secretary Hitchcock Says the Land
Steals Have Not Amounted to So
Much as Has Seen Stated.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.
Washington, Oct. 28.-Secretary Hitch
cock said that the investigation which he
has been making into land frauds on the
Pacific coast has been practically com
pleted and he hoped to be able to present
his report on them to the department of
justice by the close of the present week.
"Trhe report will not at present be malde
public," he said, " as that would defeat
the ends of justice."
He also refused to discuss the contents
of the document, but confessed the gener
ally current rumor that there have been
extensive efforts to defraud the public.
He said, however, that bad as the condi
tion is, it had been grossly exaggerated,.
"It is absurd," hIe said, "to say that the
frauds amount to $15,ooo,ooo or $18,ooo,.
ooo, or anything like that sum. A snil
lion acres would be a large estimate of
fraudulently entered land, and the gov
ernment's price for land ranges from $1.o50
to $2.50 per acre."
'The secretary also said that while the
investigation doubtless would itvolve some
official of the government, he had not in
timated ,that members of the Unilted
States senate are involved in the scandal.
