Paris, Dec. Japan and Russia are
on the verge of a settlement Of The
Far Eastern controversy. which prom
ises to dissipate the war cloud that
has been hanging over both countries
Thi5 settlement viii be the result OF
the negotiations which have been in
progress for some time past and which
were assisted by the friendly repre-en.
tations Of France to Russia and OF
Great Britain to Japan. The two ma.
tions have practically agreed upon the
basis of treaty, the signing of which
can be prevented only by some unex.
pected development.
The basis of this forthcoming agree
ment follows: Russia will accept the
two agreements entered into by Japan
and Korea, dated 1896 and 1898 re
spectively, under which Japan secured
various rights in Korea. including the
maintenance Of garrison at Seoul.
In exchange for this concession Japan
VIII accept Russia's treaty with China
respecting Manchuria.
1t is believed-though this cannot
be stated as positively-that Japan
and Russia will reiterate their support
OF the principles of the open door"
and the integrity of China and of

EIGHT HOUR LAW VALID
u s. Supreme Court inc Legality
Of Kansas tat-te.

u s. Supreme Court G 'ns Legalit,
Of Kansas -tet-te.
Washington, Dec 1.-The suprem.
court of the United S7tos has sus
tained the validity CT tse Kansas act
prescribing eight hours as a lawful
days work on all public works all
prescribing penalties for contractors
who permit or require their wcrkmen
to work longer.
The Kansas law. whose validity was
called into question in the suit, was
enacted in 1891, and provided that
eight hours should constitute days
work for workmen employed by or on
behalf Of the state, or by any county
or city or other municipality in the
state. 1t also prohibits contractors
from requiring laborers engaged on
work for the state to perform more
than eight hours labor in a day Both
fine and imprisonment for any viola
ton Of the law. The case decided to-
day was that of WV. Atkins VS.. the
State of Kansas. Atkins had a con
tract with the corporation of Kansas
City Kan, for paving a street, and
he was charged with requiring a work
man named Reese to labor 10 hours Il
day He was prosecuted in the state
courts. where the decisions were uni-
Iormiy against him. Atkins appealed
from the decision of the state supreme
court to the federal supreme court. al
eging that the statute is in violation
1f the first section OF the 14th amend
nent of the constitution in that it de-
lied him due protection of the law
md deprived him Of his property with
nut q process.
The opinion was based on the theory
nat all the municipalities of a state
re the creatures Of the state; that
'ork for them is of a public charac-
er and does not infringe on the per
onal liberty of any one.
