of persecution. Maille fired two
hots at the President, but did not

President In quick succession. No
one was htt.
President Fallleres was cool and
collected when the cortege stopped.
The diplomats who were following
the President's landau alighted from
their carriages and hurried to the
side of M. Fallleres. Finding that
nobody had been Injured, by the
President's orders, the cortege moved
on.
In the meantime two pollcemeu
seized Maille, who made no resist
once, but the police, with difficulty,
prevented the Irate crowds from
lynching the prisoner until a cordon
of reserves came up and conducted
him to the station. There Maille re
fused to give any reasons for his act,
saying:
"The revelations I have are so
Crave and serious that I will only

It was in order, to qTaw public at
tention to his grievances, he said,
that he fired the shots. The prisoner
terminated the examination by an
nouncing his Intention to give no fur
ther explanations, as he believed that
the magistrate would do nothing to
remedy his wrongs.

A LOCAL SQUALL SAYS YAMAMOTO
The Japanese Admiral Predicts Clear
Skies-We Are Close Neighbors.
New York (Special). Viscount
Aoki. tbe Japanese ambassador, who
attended the reception In honor of
Admiral Yamamoto. Issued, through
his secretary, a reassertlon of his
previous declaration that there is no
"Japanese-American situation," and
that all talk of trouble between the
two nations is a phantom crea
tion of Irresponsible trouble-makers
and trouble-hunters. If there
be any cause for anxiety, he said
It Is due to tho influence of un
warranted press talk "that often
tends to drive even the clamest tem
per of the public Into a whirl of tem
pestuous rage."
The expressions of peace and good
will between Japan and the United
States, which have so far character
ized the visit of Admiral Baron Ya
mamoto, former minister of war of
Japan, were continued at the luncheon
given to hlra by the Japan Society at
the Hotel Astor. The speakers, Includ
ing Rear Admiral Coghlan, Ambas
sador Aoki and Thomas J. O'Brien,
the newly appointed ambassador to
Japan, heartily Indorsed the object
of the society In promoting friendship
between the two countries.
Admiral Yamamoto In his address
said:
"It was my Intention to pay my
respects to the American nation and
the worthy President on my way home
from England, whither I had been
dispatched by the Emperor of Japan
on a special mission. But as the
time at my disposal was limited, I
was not In a position to definitely ac
cept the invitation of the Japan So
ciety to luncheon, which I received
In England. I was, however, appris
ed of the nature and origin of the
society since, and I felt It my duty,
as well as pleasure, to attend the
guthering of the body which has done
so much towards the furthering of
the friendly feeling between the two
countries. It is a very great honor
to see you, ladles and gentlemen,
here.
"It Is now over 50 years since
America first opened Intercourse with
Japan, and introduced us to the na
tions of the West. As I was born
about that time, I was taught in my
early days of the existence of the
United States, almost as soon as that
of my own country. 1 have only
cited my own experience, but the
same thing can be said with regard
to a very large number of my com
patriots. "We all know what we owe to the
United States for the development of
our industries and commerce, and
also for the education of a number
of our countrymen.
"We also especially appreciate the
sympathy shown us by the Americans
during the late war.
"It Is about 32 years since I first
visited America. I have made three
more visits since, making this my
fifth visit to thiB country. And each
time I came here I was greatly Im
pressed with the wonderful progress
made.
"We have always been next door
neighbors, with only an ocean be
tween us, but with the acquisition of
the Philippines by America, which is
quite close to our Formosa our terri
tories became stIU nearer, thus facili
tating even more Intimate Intercourse
between the two nations than hith
erto. "Our Interests, commercial and
otherwise, are so Intimately inter
woven, and the oordial relations be
tween us of 5 0 years' standing are of
so firm a nature, that I can confident
ly affirm that they win never be de
stroyed by mere trifling Incidents.
It Is true that lately some dark
clouds did appear in one quarter of
the sky, but it 1b nothing but a local
Bquall, and does not In any way rep
resent the general state of the weath
er. And even this slight cloud will
soon be dispersed.
"We are all aware of the high
sense of Justice and humanity pos
sessed by the Americans, the princi
ples wnicn form the very foundations
of the republic
"It Is admitted on all hands that
they arc the leaders In the civiliza
tion of the world, and throughout
Japan we all admire them for these
sterling qualities."
