YOKOHAMA, Now. 2s.-FMail advices. Tho
imperial diet was to formally open tomorrow, a
slight delay having been caused by the prepare
ton OF the budget. The diet assem- bled for pre-
liminary session on the 18th. A member of the
house OF representatives, Minaye, was assaulted
by one Soshi while on his way to the parliament
buildings and received slight wound from
sword. His assailant was arrested.
The present state OF the political parties In
Japan Is said to be one of great vacillation.
At kogoshima, on November q, a collision
occurred between the members of the Popular
party and some OF the proofficial party, in which
ten men were wounded. On the following day
one of the Populist party was stabbed and
fatally wounded in an alteration with one of
the opposite faction.
Count itagaki, leader of the Jiyute party, has
publ ished an article treating of the extension
OF Japan's navy. He holds that Japan must
abolish her present form OF limited defense
and substitute the plan of defense of
the country as whole. To construct forti.
fcations at various points on the coast
or mainland with several naval head
quarters he considers incompatible with the
geographical construction of Japan. He esti-
mates that to construct men-of-war to the ex-
tent of 100000 tons would cost $4,000 co., esti-
mating the period of completion at ten years.
Were these vessels ordered from abroad about
5000 900 would flow out of the country each
year, but as agriculture, cotton spinning
and other industries are increasing In volume
every year, Count Itagaki takes the view that
the balance between exports aud imports would
not be upset.
Funeral services over the remains OF the late
Count Famada, privy councillor and lieutenant

PROPOSED LEGISLATION.
Tacoma Commercial Club Discusses Mat
tiers of Interest to the state.


tiers of Interest to the State.
TACOMA, Dec l3.-[Special. Among the
reports presented tonight at the CONNER
cial Club meeting was one on legislation,
containing data for bills to be presented to
the next legislature. These data include
the following propositions:
That all community debts contracted during
marriage be satisfied, If necessary, out of all
community property.
For the appointment of auxiliary guardians
to settle accounts in cases where the usual
guardians have not the authority to SO handle
the funds OF the estate.
To enact the Torrens system of land transfers
thus placing the records of transactions with
the government, and creating from fees to be
charged fund to be used in settling disputed
titles, etc.
To relieve attorneys and clients from expense
and inconvenience of filing with county officers
all papers in suits until the action IL actually
ready for trial
To have supplementary proceedings heard by
a referee.
By the last named proposition it is pro-
posed to dispense with a Jury, and in the
matter Of filing papers in suits, all the ex-
pense and fees Of county officers will be
dispensed with in the many cases which
never come to trial. It is estimated by
some lawyers that fully half the cases be-
gun never come to trial.
Other matters Of lesser importance came
before the club in addition to the above,
and the propositions for the government
of cities of the iirst-class, which were pub.
lished in full IN today's Posr-INTELLI-
GKNcER Another proposition for the
benefit of cities, is TO allow the munich
pality authority to compel the building OF
non-combustible sidewalks within the city
fire limits. In this city, for instance. this
would enable the city to do away with
many blocks of somewhat rickety and
thoroughly unsightly plank sidewalks.
While City Attorney Murray was conf
dent yesterday that the convention OF
cities would be held at Seattle, Presiden,
CorelI of the city council says today:
Mr.. Murray was probably not aware of the
action OF the city council i'll placing at the dis
posal of the delegates the Chamber OF Com
merce assembly rooms in this city, Besides
the Seattle delegates notified us that it would be
convenient for them to meet here The con-
vention will be held at Tacoma.

Brussels Conference Listens to
an Exhaustive Address.
ANOTHER PARoxYsM IN FRANCE
CIsmencesu Exposes ROuvier's Intimacy
with the Panama Boodlers. Fore
ing the Minister to Resign.

BRUSSELS, Dec. 13.-At the sitting today
Of the international monetary conference,
Sir Gullford Houldsworth, one of the
delegates representing the Indian gov
ernment, protested against the OBJ
sruction offered by British dele
gates at that and previous conferences,
saying that but for the tactics
employed by the representatives of
Great Britain the currency question would
have been settled long ago. Sir Guilford
declared that the situation in Great Brit
ain had greatly changed since November
q, the date Of the first meeting of the
conference, and he suggested that
the conference adjourn q few weeks
to enable the British government
70 reconsider the whole ques-
ton. He gave as the reasons for the
change in the situation in Great Britain
the statement in favor Of bi-metailism
made by Archbishop Walsh, of Dublin,
the resolutions adopted by the agricul-
tural conference held few days ago in
London and the petitions forwarded to the
government by various chambers OF COM
merce.
Senator Jones made long address on
bi-metallism, reviewing the history OF the
question at great length. He argued from
this history that the increase OF silver pro-
duction had led to the revival OF industry
aud commerce. The demonstration of
s;ver had caused a disastrous fall Of prices
throughout the world. The prosperity
Of every country depended upon the
stability of the value of its money. I'm
interrupted employment of the people
could be accomplished only through the
fundamentally of time contracts, which
often deferred the date of payment
many years. ANY increase in the
value of the money on which the
terms of the contract were based
bore down crushingly on employers, who
saw all their foresight thwarted by q
subtle, implacable power. Such phenom-
ena were followed by suspension of work
and enterprise and enforced idieness upon
the laboring classes.
Senator Jones then drifted off to the
subject of checks, certificates and
other substitutes for money. When
used to the utmost, said he,
they could bring no permanent
relief to the present situation. They were
mere narcotics, and only the remonetiza-
ton of silver would be an adequate rem
edy. Senator Jones was listened to with
the closest attention by the conference.
