It was upon the basis of eitizen-hip that the appearance of, discriminati n written in the bill had arieen, and it was intimated at the- White House that for the present the hope was -that the leg:station in California either would be vetoed by-aloverner Johnsen or delayed. by a ieferendinn, to permit emoothing over eome features of . the situation. President Wilson endeavored to make it plain that the greatest frankness had prevailed between the two governments, even to the abandonment of many diplo- maVe formalities. The eonferenees thus far betwedn Secretary Ban, President Wilson and the Japanese Ambassador were described OS being those of "one gentlemen to another." Intimations that the Japanese protest itself Wat3 couched neither in vigoroue nor agaressive languaee, but wits formal and friendly in character, came from the President him- self, during hie telk ta-day, and. it was pointed out that the phrase "a very earnest protest," employed by Secretary Bryan, in his meseege to Governor John- son, was the description 'of the note wlech the Ameriean Government had en- tertained, rather than the emphasis of the Japanese Ambassador, The Preaident was disposed to talk freely of the Aubjeet, and appeared con- fident that a i4 atisfactory adjustment would ace0Mpli5hed. PRAISES BRYAN PLAN 1••••••• London Daily News on the Peace Proposals. London, May 12. -In an editorial on Secretary Bryan's speech at the peace centenary dinner, The Daily News says: "It will not he the atilt of Presi- dent Wilson's Governinent if the tri- butes to the hundred years of peace consist only of moriumente in stone. These are very well in their way, but plainly the best compliment one can pay to peace is to strengthen her ....With new bulwarks, •and extend the area of her influences. Who, looking down the chronicles of history, can doubt that practically every war be- tween civilized peoples could have been averted if only the final decision could have been delayed and space al- lowed for reflection, • "Give heat and passion a chance for Nulling down, and reason can reaseert itself. Reason must in all probability pronounce Against war. That is the phyehological truth upon whieh Mr, Bryan' plan rests, and eshich makes It so attractive." BRITISH OFFICERS FOR CANADA. entawa.

The man, who was about 35 years old, unkempt and wild-eyed, first at- tracted the attention of children in the gardens by his strange actions. He was hatless, and ran about, talking to an imaginary auditor,. until finally he WcfrItied• himself into a frenzy and threatened a crowd of children with his knife. The children ran, with the man close on their heels, until sev- eral groups of women drew his atten- tion. The 14/Omen ran screaming at his approach, the commotion finally reaching the notice of Policeman An- derson,who was directing traffic in a nearby street. Anderson ran into the park and the man fled, but turned suddenly and threw a. jagged stone at his pursuer, who dropped to the ground and the stone missed its mark. Then the policeman grappled with the insane man, and both fell, after Anderson's coat had been slashed with the knife. As the man Was ready to strike another blow Anderson drew his revolver and fired a single shot, killing the man instantly. There was nothing on the body by which it could be identified. e THEIR BUSY DAY • Peke Delegates Are Rush- ed at Washington.

THE I I RISH JEWELS Dublin Theft Scandal May Reopen Through Ulster King of Arms Law Suit. •••••••11, 41••••11,11,14.... London, May 11. ----ter the vain at- tempts whieh were made recently to re- open. the scandal of the theft of the Dublin Crown jetrels in the House of Commons, there is the most lively curiosity at the proepeet of the, whole story -coming out in the law -courts in a libel action whieh lo to be brought by Sir Arthur &tweed Vickers, the 13- -ster King of Arms, against a London weekly paper. The alleged libel lies in two queetions, "Why did Sir A; shield a lady at the expense of his own honor, and what recompense did the lady make hint?" These questions, it is alleged, refer to Mrs. James qtrown Potter, who was the last lady to see the jewels in. the office of the King .of Arms. Thestory goes that when the police interviewed Sir Arthur in regard to the persons to whom be had shown the jewels he gave them a When he Was asked if this list ipeluded nil the names he re plied that there might have been a lady preeent whose name for themoment he could not remember. The police pressed him for a coesiderable time, and finally he gave the name of Mts. Potter, who was accompanied by an actor, who was a. guest at Sir Arthur's house. Startling revelations are expected, One of Lite witn.eeees before the Vice- regal Cemmission which inquired into the theft handed up a 11111.9:3 of corres- pondence. 'Some of -these letteis were read and published in the eommissiente report.
