them how much we loved them, and
how remote was the possibility of a

They took it and smiled. But at the

are declaring that the Japanese are
the rightful masters of the Pacific,
and they are hinting at their will

"I'm not trying to tell you that we

Japan has 500 ships of her merchant

"There was a deep-seated alarm in

You won't know how near war we

they demanded. Had we been in

leader of the delegation, and other
members of the party have been
guarded by special officers detailed
by the chief of police.
Soon after the commissioners ar
rived here Shibushawa became aware
that he was being shadowed by
Koreans. This fact was communl
cated to tho police and Detective
Carr, who was a member of Toft's
guard during tho president's visit to
Denver, was detatiled to protect the
Japanese nobles. Carr secured a de
tail of police, which was to keep in
close touch with the party, and be in
roadiness to respond to call.
Baron Shibushawa is rumored to
be the mikado's choice as successor
to Prince Ito, who was assassinated
at Harbin. The circulation of the
rumor among Denver's large Korean
population led the authorities to fear

baron was the city's guest.

Sprecklt's Interests Involved.
New York, Nov. 16. When Presi
dent Taft and his cabinet today took
up plans as to how to crush tho
sugar trust, Attorney General Wick
ersham presented the report com
piled by Henry L. Stimson, special
deputy attorney general, setting
forth the alleged crimes tlio govern
ment expected to prove.
It is understood the report de
clares that the American Sugar Re
fining company crushed its rivals by
the sheer weight of money; bribed
government inspectors and its oppo
nents' employes; contributed cam
paign funds to all parties and finally
reached an understanding with tho
Spreckles Interests in California and
apportioned out tho sugar trade of
the country so that tho independent
trade was "wiped out with two ex
ceptions. Tho real reason, however, for tho
cabinet discussing tho matter is that
most of the alleged law-breaking is
covered by the statute of limitations.
Stimson is reported as saying that
he has "plenty of moral proof but
little that would be admitted in
court."
The cabinet must decide what form
of prosecution would most likely re
sult in the actual punishment of tho
man responsible. ,
At least half of the women
children of this town of widows and
orphans followed the caskets on
foot. A cold steady drizzle fell all
thomornlng. Many of .the women
were thinly clad, and tho children
barefooted.'
Preparation for tho interment of
other victims, when found, aro pro
gressing rapidly. Tho mlno officials
have donated a tract of land bohlnd
tho Catholic church for a cemetery.
Bishop Dunno is expected to como
hero from Peoria to conduct tho
services.
Three hundred caskets aro en

Despite tho apparent impossibility
of any of the entombed men still be
ing alive reports of subterranean ex
plosions aro said to bo heard at reg
ular intervals.
Leod WJnclinchle, a Polish minor,
whoso house is directly over tho
mine, Insisted today that ho heard
blasts last, night, and is suro thoy
werfo signals from tho entombed
men.
Many of the miners believe that a
number of entombed men still aro
living, but tho authorities do not
agreo with them.
That a secret investigation of tho
disaster was successfully conducted
under tho noses of,tho company offi
cials and without regard to their ac
tivities was reviealed today by Presl
dent Duncan McDonald, of the
United Illinois Mlno Workers, -who.
with 40 miners, conducted tho in
vestlgation under direct orders from
tho national organization.
McDonald today challenged the
statement of tho mine officials that
"tho St. Paul mino was tho safest in
tho United States."
In this connection McDonald also
said:
"When tho oxcitemont blows ovor
wo will ruako a roport regarding the
disaster that will create a sensation
in mining circles." It was learned
today that tho fathers' of 81 unborn
babies are among tho ontombod. A
