Callers Limited Events OF the Day.
WASHINGTON, March 12.-Aa this
was cabinet day there was comparative
quiet about the white house during the
forenoon, as the rules recently promul-
gated reserved cabinet days for public
business Of the President and his advis-
ere. For the first time the President was
able to give on uninterrupted half hour
to the large accumulation OF routine de-
par:men,al business, the signing OF
papers incident 10 army and navy re-
tirements, etc. Secretary Porter laid a
pile OF this business before him and It
gradually melted away. The President
intends to receive no one prior to 10
O'Clock, and thereafter the early part Of
each day will be given TO the disposal OF
routine business. There were callers to-
day at . O'Clock. but they failed to gain
admission. After 10 o'clock there were
few exceptions TO the rule against oineial
callers.
The cabinet officers began to assemble
shortly before II o'clock. Messrs. Bliss
ard Gary arrived together followed by
Secretary Sherman, who varied the usual
custom BY taking the elevator In the Pri-
ya;e part OF the house. The meeting be-
gan promptly at II, all OF the members
being present.
Mrs. Ruiz, widow OF DR.. Rulz, who
met lds death at Guanacoboa, Cuba,
under suspicion circumstances, called
az the White House at 2:l6 o'clock nc-
coupanied by her children. They
waited for time In the Fact room and

President where they remained for
some time. Mrs. Ruiz does not speak

LegI-Iation in Tonca

TONGA. February 16.-An eXtraor-
binary piece OF legislation has been
enacted here recently in reference TO
the tenure of land. The land is held
by all Europeans on lease from the
Government. and up till the begin
ming of this year the rents were mod
crate. not TO say low. Now a law has
been enacted making the annual rent
for all leases renewed to . g per foot
frontage for ground on the beach and
q per foot frontage for ground in
land. a great deal of dissatisfaction
has been expressed on account of the
length of time il has taken to publish
the law. six weeks having been al
lowed 10 pass from the date the law
came into force to the date of its be-
ing gaZetted but more especially as a
few of the knowing ones had in the
meantime got their leases extended for
a long term of years at the old rents,
or at something very little above them.
1t is. however. exceedingly improbable
that the law will ever be carried out.
As il stands now. one firm alone would

BUSINESS N JAPAN.

Large Orders Placed In England
and America.
Japan. says a London paper. is
steadily forging ahead with her new
railways and harbors. Moreover. we
are receiving more than what some
may deem an equitable share OF the
enterprising Jap's patronage. One
British firm already holds an order
for y locomotives. and several sim
liar orders have gone to the United
States simply because We could not
complete in time. for Japan is in a
great hurry to develop her new ideas.
During 1896 Japan imported from this
country s. 700 900 worth of iron plate
and bar, and Belgium received the
next valuable amount of patronage
with 81, 100 900 worth. and Germany
comes a bad third. The new harbOr
at. Osaka is TO cost $4,000, 900. and is
TO be specially constructed with a
view 70 the rapid embarkation of large
bodies of men. Other harbors are con-
templated on a similar scale on vari-
Gus parts of the coast, and the railway
system is being thoroughly organized
and rapidly extended.

West African Victory

LONDON, March 1.-Advices from
West Africa state that the Emir of
Ilorin has submitted to the British. Ac-
cording to dispatch in the Times in
November last, the IlorinS are a pow
erfuI tribe who have of late caused
much trouble TO the Colony of Lagos.
1t was consequently determined to dis
patch an expedition from Akassa
against them. 1t was expected that
there would be considerable resistance
on the part of the Ilorins, whose forces
largely consist of cavalry, mostly we'll
armed.

American Wool Trade.

LONDON, March 6.-The Bradford
wool trade ridicules the statement that
strong syndicate of leading Ameri-
can purchasers hopes to be able to buy
1 .0OO.O bales of Australian and River
Plate wool, by which transaction it eX-
pected to secure a profit of e1.000.-
900. The Bradford manufacturers
declare that they are unaware of the
formation of any such syndicate as
that referred to.
1t is expected that there will be a
good American demand at the opening
of the second series of London wool
sales on Tuesday.
