The agitation for the exclusion of
Japanese laborers from the British
colonies and from the United States.
which has been in progress for the
last few months, has led the Hyogo
Kencho authorities 10 exercise a very
strict supervision over the number of
Japanese labOrers proceeding abroad.
Laborers for Canada and the United
States have been restricted to thirty
and fifty a month respectively. and we
now understand that the kencho has
reduced the number for Canada TO
twenty month. and totally stopped
emigration to Australia. With re-

Legislature and which came into force

Washington, July 3.-Thc agricul-
tural department has pressed II NOV

physiology has now a device of this
sort in operation in II of its green
houses, photographing the growth of
a small oak tree. The machine WORKS
automatically. taking a picture each
hour. At night an electric light is
thrown 4nto the circuit as the exposure
is made. The machine has been run
ming about two weeks, and will be
kept going about two weeks longer
on its present subject. When the series
of pictures is completed it will be pos
siblc to reproduce with the stereop-
tican the growth of the plant from the
time the first shoot appeared above

more applicants whom he presses Oh
the presidents attention.
Applications Placed on File.
The president requests all his WISH
tors TO file their applications with
Adjt.-Gen. Corbin, at the same time he
makes it clear. in a general way, that
the policy of the administration III
granting commissions will be to give
preference to volunteer officers who
showed ability and who performed
valuable service during the Spanish
war. Some regular officers are also L"
be given volunteer commissions, in the
belief that one or two regular officers

commissioned sbcingcarcfully guard

The Officers To he Chosen.
Gen. Otis has selected officers for
the regiments Il he organized under
his supervision, and the war depart
mcnt officials are going over the eff
ficiency reports of officers who served
during the Spanish war for the pur-
pose of securing leaders for h regi-
ments to be organized at home. The

of 40 officers: namely: One colonel.
one Northumberland, three majors.

comm of illness.
