Minister Crane's Recall And De
velopments Indicate That Every
thing is Not
tween U. S. And Japan.
WASHINGTON. Oct. 10. Charh-s
n. Crane's .sudden, unexpected and
hitherto mysterious recall to Wash
ington by Secretary of State Knox as
ha was at the point of sailing from
San Francisco to sssumc his duties
aa minister of the United States to
China was occasioned by develop
ments involving the nucstiun of Mr.'
Crane's litness for that post. This much
is known tonight in well informed
quarters in Washington. 1'nlcss Mr.
Crene Is able to clear himself In the
eyes of Secretary Knox of an ac
cusation of a serious breach in what
the state department regards as the
first principles of diplomatic discre
tion, the conference may result in
the abrupt termination of Mr. Crane's
connection with the diplomatic sor
vic e.
Minister Crane arrived In Wash
ington late this afternoon from his
hi rried Journey across the, continent,
reiterated his declaration of ignor-
ai ce as to file occasion for his rather
climatic recall from the Water's edge
of tho Pacific and divlined to lia
ci'ss the matter in any of Its as
pects beyond allying that while he
expected to be here several days he
had reserved new accommodations for
lie trans-Pacilic voyage, on the
steamer sailing from San Francisco
on October -0 a week from next
Wednesday.
Hovouled State Secrets'.'
The state department has in hand.
U is said, what it regards as more
or less convincing evidence that Min-
ibter Crane, on the eve of his depart
ure for the far Fast, became respon-
ibte for the publication in a Chicago
newspaper ot what the department
iewfr as most indiscreet discission of
the aliunde of the United Elates to-
ard the two treaties recently ne
itiated between China and Japan.
This department holds to have been
the more Serious' because that atti
tude is still under contldential con
sideration, no decision havlngJnt-n
arrived at.
While the speeches delivered by
Mr. Cram1 before ttie American Asi
atic association and at a dinner given
in his honor at Chicago are viewed
at the state department as having
been at best unwise and iindiplomal -.
ic, they had been carefully consid
ered after their delivery and before
Mr. Crane started for San Francisco,

China-Japan Treat it'M.
China and Japan early last month
entered into treaties which contained
provisions regarded by the st;ite de
pbitment as very surprising and pos
sibly objeetionablel to this govern
ment, lly these treaties Japan would
secure rights in Manchuria which
are held by some diplomats to be in
dlrict violation of both letter and the
sph it of the Portsmouth treaties.
China has agreed in the treaties now
under consideration that before ex
ter ding her present railway system
in Manchuria she snail consult Ja
pan and, presumably, obtain her
consent. This provision is regarded as
leharmonlous with the declaration of
Japan In the treaty of Portsmouth
I hat she will not obstruct any meas
ures taken by China for the devel
opment of her empire.
Another provision relating to the
of eratlon of coal mines on both sides
f the Aiitiing-Mukden and South
.Vuui hurian railway, it is thought
may be object ionable to Ibis govern
ment as violating tho policy of the
"open door" as inaugurated by the
I 'n:U'd States anil subscribed to by
Japan as well a all of the leading
powers of Furop". This "open door
policy" is intended to assure "equal
ooportunitles" to all nations to as
sist In the development of China with
out impairing her territorial Integrity.

Matters of a highly confidential na
ture with resepct to the position of
the I'nlted States regarding these and
other provisions of the treaties be
tween China and Japan are alleged
t- have been divulged in the Chicago
publication and for these disclosures
the state department is disposed in
the absence of proof lo the contrary
to hold Minister Crane responsible.
According to authentic Information
obtainable here today. It Is of this re
sponsibility that Mr. Crane has been
summoned to Washington from San
FrenciBCn to aconit himself.

of Chinese cnllinu themselves the
"popular association of three Eastern
provinces," and spread broadcast

have created something of a sensa
tion upon their receipt In Japan. The
circulars contain inflammatory state
ments against the Japanese. They
bear upon what is called the weak
ness of poor'Tiina and "the insulting
aggression of Japan.'
Assertionsi are made that Japan has
devastated the Aralde landa of North
China, has enslaved laborers along
the line of the Antutig-Mukden rail
road; that Japanese officials have
beaten the men. Insulted (,e women
anil terrorized the people.
The circulars point out that the
weakness of China in a military sense
makes it impossible for her to resent
this treatment except by a boycott and
call upon the people of China gen
erally to refuse all dealings with the
Japanese. All students and persons
who value freedom are called upon
to propagate tho doctrines of tho as
sociation. Failing In this, they are
threatened with vengeance and even
death.
The document concluded with the
request that Chinese vehicles, vessels,
and railroads refuse to carry Japa

sought in the request that patriotic
citizens Into whose hands the circu
lar may fall shall have them reprint

Is completely shut out from nil com

sunk In fourteen fathoms of water due
west of the Diamond Khoals light
ship. Just when tfio vessel went
down Is not known, but It must
have been some time during last
night, It whs not until this morn
ing that the lightship crew saw her
topmasts' standing well out of the
water. Nowhere was there visible
any signs of tho crew of the foun
dered schooner, and not yet has then
been any word to Indicate their fate.
The mystery of tho wreck Is' made
tho deeper by reason of the difficulty
In explaining lis occurrence. Th'
weather has not. been such within the
last few days as lo threaten tho safe

that Is advanced to account for the
wreck la that the schooner probably
sprang a wide leak ami went to the
bottom before a hi could reach her
or even signals b- seen. Ho swiftly
In fact, may th'- disaster have fallen
