BOUNTIES ON SHIPPING.

Japanese Trade Has So Increased That
Claims Will Soon Exceed the Grant.
A curious difficulty has just arisen
in Japan in connection with navigation
bounties. Employment had to be found
for all tonnage purchased during the
war for transport and general military
and naval purposes, which, of course.
at the conclusion of the war became
part of the general mercantile marine
OF the country. For this purpose, says
the Manchester Guardian, new lines
of steamers to Australia, India, the Pa
cifc ports of the United States and
European ports were subsidized under
the terms of law passed during the
last session. A limit on the gross
fixed by the law. II now appears be-
yond question that the claims under
the provisions of the statute will vast
IL exceed the limit. During the ten
years for which the policy of the act
was to- be in force the annual grant
was to rise from about 100000 to ST.,
100000. But the government now finds
that with the present ACTIVITY IN snip
ping enterprise in Japan two years
hence the claims will be 100000, and
at present far exceed the appropriation
for the year. The authorities do not
want to amend their law at the very
outset, and they cannot pay the claims
if things go on as they are doing. Ac-
cordingly, they are whiting down the
liberal provisions of the act in. u way
lot wholly unknown to officials else
where. Companies or lines obviously
organized only for the purpose of earn
ing the bOunties or those of a speech
lative kind have their claims struck out.
Even so, however, the substantial diff
Guilty remains that genuine claims for
the bounty are greatly in excess OF the
maximum limit imposed by law on the
total amount to be paid as bounty.

WHAT CAME OF BREAKING THROUGH THE ice
ina WISCONSIN, RIVER In february.
From the Chronicle. Chicago, I'll.

Five years ago last winter, there was con-
siderable commOtiOn on the banks Of the
White River, Wisconsin, as a young man
named L. n. Halleck, had broken through
the ice, and was for some moments lost to
view. 1t was not long, however, before Mr..
Halleck came in sight again, and by artistic
means was fished from the fluid and restored
to society. If the ducking had been all, it
would have been well, but unfortunately,
the young gentleman contracted a heavy
cold, resulting in chronic rheumatism, COM
plicated with disease of kidney and urinary
organs.
"For six months" writes Mr.. Halleck,
'FI was laid up, and not able TO do anything.
During this time / suffered with pains in
the stomach and small of the back, and
headache, urination was frequent and pain

CHAPTER XII

The stormy interview with Went
worth disturbed the usual serenity of
Mr.. Longworth's temper. He went
home earlier than was customary with
him that night, and the more he
thought over the attack. the more IN
iustifiable it seemed. He wondered
what his nephew had been at. and tried
30 remember what Wentworth had
charged against him. He could not rec
ollect, the angrier portions of the in
terview having, as it were, blotted the
charges from his mind. There re-
manned, however, a bitter resentment
against Wentworth. Mr.. LOngworth
searched his conscience to see if he
could be in the least to blame, but he
found nothing in the recollection of
his dealings with the young men to
Justify him in feeling at all response
BILE for the disaster that had overtaken
them. He read his favorite evening
paper with less than his usual in

episode in his office would crop up in

ter.

voice.

"He is not, but he will be back again,
I suppose. At any rate l wish to have
nothing more to do with those people.
You understand that?"
"Yes, father"
Mr.. I.ongworth went on with his
reading. Edith saw that her father
was greatly disturbed. and she much
desired to know what the reason was,
