Sept. 7. — The Krupp works are building for Japan about 30 12 Inch guns for use on bat tleships and they 'are continuing the fulfillment of a contract made coon after the war with Russia, ended for re-equipplng the Japan field artillery. . Confirmation has been obtained • of the statement that Japan placed an or der for 12 inch guns with the Krupps only because the British works were filled with orders three years ahead for Ifuns of this caliber. The Japanese, before contracting with the -Krupp works, consulted with the British gov ernment on the subject. Japan is sell ing her old field artillery to Chinese viceroy*. The Krupps are sending the guns to Japan in the rough, bored out but not finished, and they will be com pleted and mounted In the Japanese arsenals. WOULD MEAN* WORLD WAR WASHINGTON*. Sept. 7. — Chow T«chl. charge d'affaires of the Chinese embassy, when shown a copy of the HeraJd's special cable from Tokyo, said that should Japan insist upon set tling the Korean boundary regardless ef the wishes of the Chinese govern ment the consequences would be very serious. The Japanese and Chinese governments would be involved Imme- Slately. together, possibly, with the rest of the world. For this reason Chow said he believed no such claims vould be. made by the Japanese gov frnment and that the dispute over the Korean boundary, pending since 1894. would be settled to the satisfaction of both nations. - - - - — '\u25a0 SAVS.ROOSETOtT PLAXS AVAR < NEW YORK.

It develops from " the press reports from Angels Camp that the strike was declared off at a semipri vate meeting by a handful of union miners opposed to the strike.

They further -claim that they were led to believe: that" their demands had been granted by? the mine owners and there was nothing further for which to prolong the'Etrikt^y me miners went. ..to xrork, but soon learned that no concessions had been made. An investigation followed, in which the miners, again walked out, closing down the' big properties. A meeting of the miners' union is called for next Tuesday at 4 o'clock, at which time another vote will be taken upon the proposition of, whether or not the strike shall remain in force.

Sept. 7.— By far the largest- crowds in the history, of the state are flocking .nightly to the agri cultural pavilion to view the state fair, which is pronounced by every one to be the greatest ever held. Floor space Is at & premium and the booths occu pied by the various exhibitors cover every bit " of it with the exception of that allowed for the -aisles. Of the numerous exhibits one stands as the most prominent probably for its uniqueness. It Is' the wireless tele graph station situated to the right of the entrance and from which every aft ernoon and evening messages are sent and received. It was from this station that the formal announcement of the opening ' of the fair was sent to the east and to thefCoast cities by Governor Giilett. ;""->\u25a0 . This station Is in charge of sailors from Mare island, some of whom epend the time explaining to the crowds how the messages are sent and received and others of whom spend their entire time sending and receiving messages. Among the county exhibits it would be hard to pick any as execeliing. They all show that expense was not spared making them attractive and at the same time of advertising value to the community. All of the machinery ex hibited are placed .by themselves. « "Four Others," Alleges Wife of Clubman Special by Leased Wire to The Call NEW YORK.' Sept. 7.— lt developed tonight that Mrs. Olcott C.

CANNON Call for Immediate Revision of Protective Customs Shocks Congress Ira E. Bennett WASHINGTON, Sept. 7.— A new and aggressive influence in legislative and administrative af fairs is txpected to make itself manifest here during the next ses sion of congress arid probably for a long time afterward. This new force is the national association of manufacturers, whiclv held its convention in Washington- last spring, when it was addressed by Secretary Root and several mem bers of congress on the importance Jof enlarging our export tradel Hereto fore this important organization' has continued in ( its affairs In Washington without publicity. But now it seeks publicity and the widest advocacy of its views, principally as to two sub jects — the "revision of the tariff and the relations between capital and labor. . The National association of manufac turers is f aid to be composed of 3.000 manufacturers, representing somewhat more than that number of Industries. This membership is claimed*" to repre sent a capitalization of about J15.000. 000.000. and at least 75 per cent of the manufacturing industries of the coun^ try. The . membership is distributed throughout the United State?, but is especially strong in- the central west, and it Is said that the attitude of this organization will- be- of especial- -in terest to Speaker Cannon and the oth»r "standpatters" •who have opposed :. the plan of the revision of the tariff, .which is advocated by the. association. ; This association declared last spring with practical unanimity that the pres ent tariff ought. to be : . revised "and .that the process of revision should be taken out of polities. .It has been believed by many that it was the manufacturers who wished to retain the existing cus toms schedule i in : - the act. -It- was a sensation that stirred up the high pro tective organs of the republican party throughout the United States when an organization of manufacturers asked for Immediate revision of the tariff. '"The resolutlons i adopted did not ask for -re vision at some indefinite time in future, as suggested by Secretary;- Taft,' but asked for It now — that Is to say, at the opening of the next congress. , - Those resolutions alsd ' declared r In favor of the creation of a* national tariff commission of a .;'-' semi judicial nature, somewhat like the -Interstate commerce commission, whose function it would be" to -'.'give continual hearings upon customs' duties and to \u25a0 report periodically both to and the executive.

Let The Call advocate that' and I'll: promise- you I'll appoint a rattling good man to the, vacancy. I have done the very best I could. The only course that remains is for me to call a special session of -the legisla ture to .Impeach him, but - I am not going to put the state to that ex pense." ' . -- It was suggested to the governor that the supervisors of San Francisco were planning to ask him to call a, special session in 'December to' pass -the char ter amendments, particularly those i af fecting the bond ".issues.^ and; that ad vantage might be taken of this occasion to bring I 'impeachment charges against the. railroad commissioner.

The water supply had run short early .and a thirst for the uptown retreats accelerated the final proceedings. The debate over Judge Raker's , resolution, urging that the tariff be removed from lumber, added to the heat of the occasion, and only the expedition which the new president, Frank C. Goudy, in sisted on that he might catch the 1 o'clock train for Colorado saved the assemblage from an outburst of Impatience. Some foolish speeches were made at the Instance of glad hand promoters at a time when the. dele gates were weary and decided upon the few questions waiting to. .b« set tled. They were more than eager for an adjournment, but there was no es sape from the bustling Sacramento pro moters and their farewell perform ance?. It can dot be pointed to with pride that. the capital cit7 of California, in augurated a move to hold an Interna tional congress of ' irrigation people, for which a call Is to be issued to the nations of the earth. The movement \u25a0was born In suffering and onzht to be a go. ! Aside from the agonies innocently In flicted. It can be faithfully said tnat the congress came to a close with a flour ish. The contest that began over the tariff resolution and wound uj> on that regarding Philippine sugar was thrill- Ing; all the big guns of the convention were turned loose. The outcome was a sensible deter mination • to eliminate all political phases from the proceedings, and the measure proposing the removal of cus toms duties from lumber and that In sisting on a tariff barrier against Phil ippine sugar were relegated. " Judge Raker, who fathered the reso lution aimed to encourage the use of foreign lumber in order to conserve our own forests, yielded on the theory of eliminating, politics ; . after several speakers had talked sharply on the matter and consistency necessitated the • •withdrawal .of the^ sugar resolution. The pleas that the Irrigation congress should carefully avoid the pitfalls oif extraneous matters started a new sen timent racing through the assemblage and those .who had cheered so lustily the day before in defiance of their good friend. Roosevelt and In .behalf of the beet were equally resolved at. the con- I elusion of this morning's argument that Irrigation exclusively was enough for one congress.
