Al ANESE IMMIGRATION.
May bp Restricted at its Source by Il Japanese Government
 Itself-A Protest.

Washington, April 24.-Information has reached Washington to the effect that the Japanese government itself, and without waiting a request from the United States, is about to take steps to restrict the emigration ot Japanese coolies to the United States.
 1t is asserted that the figures rell- tive to this emigration have been mag- flied, and that as a matter of fact there are not more than about fifteen CT sixteen thousand Japanese within the limits of the United States outside of Hawaii. It is said that such emi- grafton as has lately occurred has re- suited from the competition of the two great Japanese emigration societies; that the laborers have been practical ly brought here under the delusion that there were untold opportunities for work at great wages.
 The Japanese government is inter- ested in protecting its people from the hardships resulting from such imposi- tions, and that is the reason it intends 10 establish restrictions upon the out ward flow. It is said, however, that lhe government would never contem- plate with equaninimity legislation ny the United States directed exclu- sively against Japanese immigration, for though perfectly willing to abide by the results of any legislation on the subject of immigration that affects al outside nations alike, discrimina- tion against Japan would certainly have most disastrous effects upon the large and growing trade between the United States and Japan.
 The position of the Japanese govern ment upon that point is that the Japanese emigrant is not for mo- ment to be classed with the Chinese coolie.

JOSEPH WHEELER RESIGNS.
Forfeited Ills Seat fin Congress by Doing His Duty as a Soldier
 on the Firing Line.

Montgomery, Ala, April 24.-Gov. Johnston, Monday, made public the following letter:
 Washington, April 20. To Gov. Jos. F. Johnston, Montgom-
 cry:
 Dear Sir-When the insurrection in Luzon broke out, in February, in 1899, l was holding a commission in the vol unteer army of the United States, and thought I ought to perform military duty until the converting of congress, December 4, 1899. I therefore imme- diately appealed for active service III the Philippines, and finally, in July, received ord ITS with the understand ing that ould be ordered to return so as to be present when congress con- ycned.
 "In Octo Der it became evident that to leave L'lzon in time to reach Wash ington by December would necessI- tate leaving my command during ac- tive oper itions when I saw clearly that delay of two or three weeks would erable me to remain with my command, and thus aid in the termi- nation of the war. I therefore sug- gested tJ,at, as the first session of con- eress never enacted legislation prior to Christmas, my arrival in Washing ;on before the convening of congress efter the Christmas holidays would attain etery purpose and would enable me to avoid leaving my command in r,,i1xt of aofiua
 "In November I forwarded to the president my resignation as an officer uf the army so as to prevent the pos sioility of any question arising as to my right to my seat in congress.
 "A combination of circumstances de- layed mJ reaching Washing ton, and when l arrived the president very Grmy. ,Tas also notified by the speak CT that his ruling would be that my failure 10 be present when congress convened had worked a forfeiture of my seat.
 'After a conference with Hon. W. J Wood, l asked him to notify you of the conditions, and request that an VtSStiou OC OluCiSo lSI lilf SuNCSSSOi It is now suggested that it is neces- sary for me to serve you formal res ignatioD as a member of the Fifty sixth co gress from Alabama. I there fore ten'ler my resignation as such.
 'I regret more than I can explain any inconvenience my absence has caused che people of the Eighth dis tr:ct. will devote myself to their interest, in connection with congress sional Eiatters as far as I am able un. til my successor is ready to qualify.
 Witt, respect, your obedient serv' ant, JOSEPH WHEELER"

The Cheapening Telegraph

The increase in the use of the tele- graph for business purposes has been accompanied by a steady reduction in the cost of messages. When the first Atlantic cable was laid the price of q 20-word message between London and New York was S100, of five dollars per word. Now the commercial rate be- tween the two cities is 25 cents per word. To telegraph ten words from Chicago to New York in 1866 cost S2.05. Now it costs 40 cents. Telegraphing to distant parts of the world is still an expensive business. The rate per word for a message from San Fran cisco to Auckland, for example, is s2s7. From New York to Manila the rate is $2.45. The charge is not al- ways in ratio to the distance. The rate from New York to South Ameri- can or West Indian ports is nearly two dollars per word, but in reaching these points the messages travel twice across the Atlantic-Ainslee's Maga. zine.

FORTUNES FOR SAILORS.
Prizes of Enormous Value Taken by English ships in Times
 Gone By.

It is not long ago since an old sail or died in London who remembered serving on vessels in the royal navy that sometimes waited off one station for a year for a treasure-ship they had been warned of, and who was pres ent when our craft, the Ethalian, cap tured the Thetis with s1,T0o,o0o on board. About the same time three of our warships, after lying in wait for months, captured the Santa Brig ida with a treasure of nearly S2,o0O 900 in her hold. 1t needed 63 artillery wagons-escorted by armed men and bands of music-to convey the treas ure to the citadel at Plymouth, and each captain received as prize money ( 40,73o; each lieutenant had a5,100, and each seaman and marine 1s2.
 But even this was a trifle to the shares received by the men of two of our small warships that seized the Hermione, Spanish galleon, homeward bound from Lima. An admirals share of the prize money was z 5000; each of the two captains got the same; each lieutenant had z s13,0o0; each warrant officer, E4,000; each petty officer, z 2,00o; and each seaman and marine, 500. This was the historic occasion on which the jolly tars bought up all the watches in Portsmouth and fried them in fat over the galley fire.
 Our warship, the Centurion, waited for several years for Spanish treas ure ships, and at last caught the Nues- tra Sonora de Covadonga with more than z 1,5oo, 600 sterling on board, and as our vessel was very short-handed at the time, each British seaman re. ceived nearly e2,0oo, whilst the off. cers were made rich for life at one stroke. One of the fortunate seamen died, far into the queens reign, al Gravesend, his name being George Gregory, and his age 109 years, this be ing one of the authenticated and his. toric cases of such an age being reached.
 After long cruise with some of ouI celebrated seadogs of the Napoleonie wars, it was often the case that tho prize money of seaman in respect ot number of captures would be from 500 to 2,0O0.-Tit-Bits.

alizing what pain he was in.

would cry, realizing what pain he was in. His pitiful wailing was heart-rending. l had about given up hope of saving him when 1 was urged to give him Hoods Sarsaparilla, all other treatment having failed. I washed the sores with Hoods Medicated Soap, ap- piled Hoods Olive Ointment and gave him Hoods Sarsaparilla. The child seemed to get better every day, and very soon the change was quite noticeable. The discharge grew less, inflammation went down, the skin took on healthy color, and the raw flesh began to scale over and a thin skin formed as the scales dropped off. Less than two bot ties of Hoods Sarsaparilla, aided by Hoods Medicated Soap and Hoods Olive Ointment, accomplished this wonderful cure. I cannot praise these medicines half enough" MRS.

Millions for Baseball.

A million of dollars are spent every ycae upon the game of baseball, but as large as this sum is, 1t cannot begin to equal the amount spent by people in search of health. There is a sure method of obtaining strength, and it is not costly one. We urge those who have spent much and lost hope to try Hostetter's 8 Stomach Bitters. It strengthens the stom- ach, makes digestion easy and natural, and cures dyspepsia, constipation, biiousness and weak kidneys.
