JAP DIPLOMAMND
HIS CAT IN TOWN
Viscount Aoki, First Ambassador
to United States, Passes
Thru Minneapolis.
VISCOUNT AOKI,
First Japanese Ambassador to the
United States.
Bearing in his arms a great Persian
cat, Viscount Aoki, the first ambassador
from Japan to the United States, passed
thru Minneapolis last evening with his
party, on the way to Washington. His
arrival will raise the Japanese legation
in the United States, which has been in
charge of a minister, to that of an em
bassy.
The party included the Viscountess
Aoki, also Tsunejiro Miyaoka, counsellor
of the embassy, with his wife, Maior
Tanake, the military attache, with his
wife, and the servants, of the party.
They arrived over the Soo, having made
the trip from Vancouver in a private
car, which they left in Minneapolis for
compartments on the Milwaukee's Pio
neer Limited. The Soo was over two
hours late and the limited was held
nearly half an hour to enable the party
to make connections.
A Journal representative met the
party and had a brief interview with
the ambassador and Mr. Miyaoka, who
was secretary of the legation at Wash
ington years ago, and speaks English
fluently. The viscount speaks English
correctly, but with some difficulty.
First Real Visit.
I have crossed your country three
times," he said, "on my way from Eu
rope to Japan, but went directly thru
from New York to San Francisco, so
this is my first real visit to your coun
try. I am greatly interested'to see the
evidences of prosperity in vour new
western states.
I shall- be gla when our journey is
over, for I am very tired. I 'am a bad
sailor and was not well on the passage
over.
We heard at Vancouver of your ter
rible disaster at San Francisco and we
feel deeply over the destruction of that
beautiful city, and the suffering of the
people. I was not aware that San Fran
cisco was subject to earthquakes. No
doubt your whole people are generous
in coming to the aid of the city.'Ameri
can generosity is well known in Japan.
We had proof of it in ,the aid so kindlv
ent to the sufferers from famine in our
northern provinces recently."
The Cat and the Diplomat.
During the conversation the ambassa
dor kept a firm hold on the Persian cat,
which is the darling of the viscountess
and was not even trusted to servants
when they transferred from one train
to the other. The cat was frightened
at the noises and lights, and took an
animated part in the conversation, but
Was soothed by its master's hand. The
viscountess followed with an eye on
her pet.
The party was met at the station by
Judge J. B. Gilfillan and his wife and
daughter, who are old friends of Coun
sellor Miyaoka and his wife. Thev
were accompanied by Mayor Jones
who paid his respects to the ambassa
dor and chatted with him a few min
utes. The Soo train was due at 6
o^ clock and Judge Gilfillan had
planned to take Mr. and Mrs. Miyaoka
to their home for dinner, but that plan
was spoiled, and the only way they
could have any visit was to ride with
the party as far as St. Paul.
Viscount-Luzo Aoki has been termed
the John Hay of Japan. He iB one of
the most eminent diplomatists of the
island empire, with a career of signal
success in many missions. His selection
as first head of the Washington em
bassy is regarded as peculiarly for
tunate. Since President Roosevelt's
successful intervention in the late
war, America is regarded as the natural
arbiter of far eastern disputes. In
appearance the viscount is the ideal of
the oriental staesman, spectacled,
bearded and grave, courtly in manner,
tho reserved.
The Viscountess Aoki is the daughter
of a noble German family, and they
were married twenty years or more
ago when he was plain Mr. Aoki, at
tached to the Japanese legation at
Berlin.
Counsellor of the Party.
Mr. Miyaoka, the young counsellor,
stands high in the diplomatic service,
and as counsellor of the new embassy,
holds the same rank as a minister. He
has served in several European courts,
and two years ago he was. Japanese
commissioner to the Hague, represent
ing his country in negotiating commer
cial treaties with other powers.. ..The
conference was arranged before the
outbreak of war with Eussia, and went
_. on for a time during the conflict. His
wife is a charming little woman of the
highest type of Japanese beauty.
The party_will arrive in Washington
tomorrow morning, and the formal pre
sentation to President Roosevelt, an
event of high diplomatic importance,
will be some time this week.

INSURANCE CLAIMS
WILL ALL BE PAID
Underwriters Say San Francisco
Liabilities May Reach
$200,000,000.
Special to Tie Journal.
Chicago, April 23.Notwithstanding
the fact that the liabilities of the vari
ous companies on San Francisco losses
will probably reach $150,000,000 and
may go to #200,000,000, it is conceded
by the best informed underwriters that
no company will lack sufficient resour
ces to pay up every claim in full, as
was prophesied on Friday.
Some may be forced to reinsure and
go out of business. A few frightened
policyholders have visited the offices
of some of the local companies and
agencies and tried to cancel their pol
icies, but when they were advised to
wait for a week they promptly com
plied.
Policyholders Stand Together.
The great majority of policyholders
are standing together along with the
agents in an effort to save 'every com
pany from any serious trouble. In
general all interests are united in the
belief that the best good of all com
panies and of all policyholders will be
conserved only by taking the disaster
coolly, at least until some idea of the
exact losses sustained by each company
can be ascertained.
Able to Stan* Together.
This much is certain:. all companies
involved will stand together and help
each other if necessary. Altho some of
the weaker companies probably will
succumb to the pressure of claims, they
will pay all liabilities in full. If their
resources are not" sufficient for this,
they -will be aided by stronger com
panies.
A
Insurance men are confident tna^ a
liberal policy will be taken by all in
terests involved. On account of this
fact no one need be alarmed over the
situation. The policyholders, at least,
are safe everywhere. Should some of
the weaker companies go out of busi
ness their patrons will be taken care of
by other companies.
Advise Delay of Week.
Policyholders are advised by all
agents to wait at least a week, before
making changes. At that time it may
be found that companies which appear
now to be the heaviest losers are in
better condition than others. This
will undoubtedly be'the-.case .with a
few of the companies which have con
sidered reinsurance in other companies.
The basis of the adjustment of losses
still is only conjecture with local un
derwriters. Just how liberal the com
panies can be in meeting liabilities is
hard to determine.
DUST EXPLOSION KILLS
22 IN GOLOBADa HIIfE
Trinidad, Col., April 23.As a re
sult of a dust explosion in a mine of
tl^e Colorado Fuel & Iron companv,
forty miles west of Trinidad, shortly
before noon Sunday, twenty-two miners
are known to be dead and one other is
missing. There is little hope of find
ing him alive.
There were forty men in the mine
at the time of the explosion. Seven
teen miners who were working 3,700
feet from the entrance escaped unin
jured thru another opening. The ex
plosion occurred in rooms 3 and 4,
near the main entrance, and was the
result of a windy shot which ignited
the dust. The mine was not badly dam
aged and work can be resumed in a
fe5*r days.
The mine^gave employment to 10
men. Miners from adjacent camps are
assisting in the rescue. General Super
intendent O'Neil left "here on a special
train at noon and is personally direct
ing the rescue work.
Among the dead is -J. E. Reed, fire
boss. Most of the others are Italians
and Japanese.

GARFIELD SUBMITS
OIL PROBE REPORT
President and Attorney General
Consider Question of Begin
ning Wholesale Prosecutions.
Journal Special Service.
Chicago, April 23.The Chicago
Tribune tdday publishes the following
Washington special:
Beyond question, the monumental eco
nomic sensation of this era of sensations
is the report of the Standard Oil monop
oly, which at last has been submitted
to the president by Commissioner of
Corporations Garfield.
This report represents the result of
fourteen months patient investigation
by Commissioner Garfield and numerous
secret agents. These officials have ran
sacked every oil field in this country,
almost every state in the country and
even have visited Europe for informa
tion to enable them to describe clearly
and impartially the operations of the
most colossal combination of modern
times.
Prosecution Considered.
The information has been incor
porated in a voluminous report, and it
will be sent by the president to con
gress, probably during the present week
or early next weekj in order that it may
guide that body in the enactment of
remedial legislation for some of the
evils disclosed. In the meantime, it is
being considered by the president and
the attorney general with a view to
the institution of legal proceedings
against the officers of the Standard Oil
and various railroads with which they
have been in collusion.
Three Specific Charges.
The facts which the report presents
establishes that the Standard Oil com
pany has been guilty of:
Granting- and receiving rebates.
Restraining trade and commerce.
Crushing competition.
It would seem upon the facts brought
to light that there could be no ques
tion of the prosecution of the company
and its officers and the railroads and
their officers with, which they have
been in collusion. But in the early
stages of the investigation Mr. Gar
field unfortunately pursued the same
methods he observed in the inquiry he
made into the beef trust. He person*
ally went to Kansas, to California, to
Cleveland, and to New York and talked
with the officers of the Standard Oil
not all of them, to be surebut with
Rockefeller and some of the others
higher up.''
Will Claim Immunity.
The men he saw will claim immunity
for themselves in the event of prose
cution, and for the other officers
"blanket immunity." to. quote the
Humphrey decision in the beef pack
ers' case. Attorney General Moody and
Mr. Garfield have discussed this ques
tion, and the next few days will-.de-
termine, whether or not the government
will take legal action.
