It is hard work to keep track of the progressive
acquisitions Of awakened Japan. The very latest
novelty is a National Anthem which has been COM
posed for the Empire by canny Scotchman, % for
merly bandmaster of II. b. NJ. 10th Regiment of
Foot according to the local press. Think Of that
a National" Anthem written for an Empire which
was ancient when the ancestors of the composer
were unbreeched barbarians in Caledonia or Gael
Japan is now completely equipped for civilization
lacking only q National Debt, which enterprisng
American, Mr.. Williams, has now gone to Europe to
procure.

We cannot agree with the suggestions in the
Presidents Washington organ that the Con-
gressmen implicated in the Credit Mobilier
scandal should avoid On investigation. The
admitted letters of Mr.. 0akes Ames make an
Investigation imperative. One result of it
must likewise be inevitable. Either Mr..
Ames told the truth in those letters, OF he did
not In the latter case he alone ought to be
expelled in the former, the Congressman he
corrupted as wen. The issue which his letters
raise Is sharply defined, and it cannot be ig-
DOred.

Attention is directed to a summary of pro-
posed law to regulate the opening of certain
streets in this city, which we print to-day:
The enormous abuses which have crept into
the system have become so notorious that
there is universal demand for some remedy
against future frauds. The subject is one
which awakons great interest and should re-
ceiye immediate examination.

Without wishing at all to PREJUDICE the case
of the alleged blackmailer arrested on Satur-
day. it seems worth while to protest against
the theory apparently involved in his defense
that, il the stories he collected were true, ne
was substantially right in attempting to ex-
tort money from the men whom they affected
by the threat of publication. The use Of
paper and types, or the threat of their use,
for such purposes, is the gravamen of the
efiense.

Mr.. James f. Moline, in his letter printed in THE
TRIBUNE of Saturday, has made very direct and
explicit rejoinder to Mr.. James Anthony Froude's
proposition or challenge" Indeed, it is difficult to
see how the eminent historian can avoid noticing
this letter. which, to use current Americanism,
means business. Evidently, Mr.. Meline proposes to
waive the charge of general naccuracy, or bad faith
in Mr.. Froudes treatment of historical documents,
and conine himself to the several distinct instances
of such inaccuracy which he has already cOated in
his book, Mary Queen Of Scots and her latest
Historian" He thinks these charges are impreg-
nable he calls on Mr.. Froude to disprOve them if he
can /; and to make beginning, he cites the alleged
perversion of truth committed by Mr. Froude in
putting in the mouth of Mary Queen of Scots
sanguinary threat which she never uttered. SO far
Mr. Froudes critic has certainly succeeded in throw
ing such cloud of doubt ON this famous passage that
students of history viii be glad to see the matter
finally elucidated. This done, other cOntroverted
statements viii demand attention.

Some of the politicians Of the party which
has lust succeeded in the national canvass
are in trouble. Washington dispatches say
that the probability OF the Civil Service rules
being applied to fill anticipated vacancies in
the Custem-houses of New-YOrk and San
Francisco causes great turmoil. 1t really
seems as if these gentlemen thought the
promises of their party were only bait for
gudgeons.

The special report of the Signal Service Observer

quite as successful in combining the fire area as any

TIE ALABAMA MONEY.

The Presidents recommendation TO Con-
gress that early attention be given to the dis
tribution Of the fifteen and one-half million
dollars awarded at Geneva, is one that will
undoubtedly be needed by that body. The
manner of distributing the award or the par
ties to whom it shall be paid is a question
upon which there is a difference of opinion
and one Of great interest to many citizens of
Maine.
All will agree that in the first place those
persons whose property was Destroyed by either
OF the cruisers named in the award and who
have received from no source any recompense
for the same, should be paid the proportional
amount of their loss from that fund. This
would be just and right and would be appro-
priating that much of the award where it
legi,imately belongs, and the only question is
to whom belongs the balance Of the award.

SECRETARY BOUTWELL'S REPORT

SECRETARY BOUTWELL, fEIOHI.
Secretary Boutwell, submitted his report to
the President Tuesday. He begins .by as
serting that the success of his department is
largely attributable to the efficiency and hon
esty of his assistants in the various bureax,
and he recommends that the salaries of the
chief clerks be raised.
He says that during the year the negotiation
OF $500, 900, 900 of five per cent bonds and
the redemption of 500, 100000 Of six per
cent. fve-twenty bonds has been completed,
and the accounts have been settled by the ac-
counting officers of the Treasury. Further
negotiations of five per cent. bonds can now
be made upon the basis of the former negoti-
atoms. AS means of giving additional val
ue to the bonds authorized by the funding act
of July II, 1870, and additional security to
the owners, he thinks that registered bonds
of every issue should be convertible into cou'
pom bonds at the will Of the holder. The ne,
receipts for the year were 1914, LOG, SG1.5
the net disbursements were S377,478, 2lG.2l.
