For an officer of the Japanese army
or navy to be received in audience by
the emperor Is SO rare an honor that
a special significance is attached tc
the summons received by Capt. Yama
motto to present himself at the royal
palace in Toxic.
Capt Yamamoto was one Of the OF
ficers who covered himself with glory
at the naval battle off Chemulpo when
the Russian ships of war, the Variae
and KoreitZ, were sunk. He took with
him to Choida castle for presentation
to the emperor the flags of the Rus
sian vessels.
Capt. Yamamoto represented the
Japanese navy in the naval procession
ut the funeral of the late Queen Vic
tOria.

cured through the recent agreement,
Lord Landsdowne is said to genuinely
entertain the hope of an eventual set
Lement by which the Anglo-Russlan
spheres of influence Throughout Lne
world may be determined and the
ceaseless and costly rivalry between
he two nations ended forever. He
is also actuated by strong desire
to cement the Anglo-French unaer
standing which, as the Westminster
Gazette points out, can only be made
tmmutable by complete understand
ing with Russia. .
IF in a moment of great difficulty
says the Westminster Gazette, Russia
appealed for assistance to France or
the pain of transferring her affections
to Germany, no consideration for us
would prevent France from respond
ing to the appeal, since an alliance
between Germany and Russia would
be a catastrophe for which no under
standing with Great Britain could
compensate her"
On all sides here it is pointed oui
that an agreement Oh outstanding mat
tiers with Russia is far more difficult
than the recent arrangement with
France. The paramount questions are
the delimitations of the Afghan from

the spheres of influence in Persia. II

agrees not to interfere in southern
Persia. 1t is thought that Russia's
request for port on the Persian
gulf never will be granted, but the
Associated Press learns that Russia
lately mas exhibited keen desire to
acquire interets in Abyssinia so as
to gain access to the Red sea. This
might be arranged in lieu of port on
the Persian gulf. Emperor Menelik

A farmer once came into a Connec.
ticut tavern with eggs to sell. The
transaction took place in the bar-roor
of the establishment. The proprietor
agreed to take two dozen, and when
the farmer came to count over the con
tents of his basket, he found that he
had twenty-five eggs. The proprietor
wanted the extra egg thrown in for
good measure. The farmer didn't see
it that way, and they argued the mat

take the twenty-five eggs, give this
man a drink, and call it square. The
farmer agreed and pocketed his mon,

LIVE WASHINGTON AFFAIRS
No American Slave Dealers in the
Philippines.
Left to Roosevelt.

The Interstate Commerce Commission
formulated an opinion which MAJ be OF
great political consequence. The appre.
hcnsion on the part of several railroad
magnateS and capitalists interested in
large corporations that the so called anti.
trust legislation of last Congress would
be enforced to their injury has caused
considerable irritation, and has resulted
in an acknowledged hostility between
the President of the United States and
several great capitalists. Among the
things strenuously objected to by GER
tain railroad magnates, COnspicuously
Mr. j. j. Hill. was the enforcement OF
the provision of the Interstate Commerce
act requiring the publication OF import
and export traffic tariffs as well as the
domestic traffic tariffs. According to tho
construction of the commission. the law
bias always required such publication,
but prior to the enactment of the Elkins
law by the last Congress there appeared
to be no way for the commission to en-.
force its ruling with regard to this
matter
The Elkins law provided means which
the commission believed might be made
efficient for the enforcement of the law,
and considerable apprehension lest the
power of the commission should be eXcr.
csed has been manifested by those es.
pecialy interested. The decision an
nounced by the commission temporarily
postpones this issue, leaving it open for
the President to recommend and for Con
gresS to enact such amendments to the
law as may meet the requirements of the
railroads.

day. Business was practically sus-

DRY of their distinguished fellow. citizen,
Senator Marcus A. Hanna.
Senator Hanna left this city for the
nations capital just four weeks ago,
happy in the thought of his triumphant
reelection to the highest legislative body
in the land. To friends, before his leave
taking, the Senator expressed senti-
mcnt that seems to have foreshadowed
an event of the future.
Il am tired, and think have earned q
rest. If | can go to Washington and
simply attend to my duties as Senator, |
shall be happy" he said
AS dawn began to break over the city
the doors of the Chamber of Commerce
auditorium, where the body lay, was re-
opened to vast throng of people. Sew
eral thousand who stood in line awaiting
their turn were disappointed when the
doors to the Chamber were closed at | /
o'clock to prepare for the removal of the
body to the church for the final funeral
service.
At 10 o'clock the members OF the State
Legislature, who recently chose Mr..
Hanna to again represent Ohio in the
Senate, drove from their hotels TO the
Chamber of Commerce in Il body and
looked for the last time upon the face of
the dead statesman.

Word Blindness.

Some curious instances of the ply
steal defect of word blindness" are
giyen in the Lancet. The disease is,
fortunately, uncommon. In one case
the sufferer. an EngliShman, thirty
four years of age, who knew Greek,
Latin and French well. suddenly lost
all knowledge of English, though he
could read and understand Greek per-
fectly and Latin and French in rath-
er smaller degree. Another and almost
more curious case was that Of msn
who lost the power of reading at sight.
This patient was able to write accur-
ately from dictatiOn. but was complete
~ unable to read what he had written.
Word blindness is apparently akin to
color blindness, but is certainly at
tended by much more incOnvenient con-
someone's.

In answer to communication from

reported existence of slavery in the Jolo
Islands and inclosing newspaper clip
pings alleging that Americans were slave
dealers Secretary Taft has written the
following letter:
"The statement with respect to slavery
in the Philippines is an outrageous lie.
There are no Americans engaged in the
slave trade at all. There has been in the
past some kidnapping by the Moros of
the hill tribes, but this has been sup
pressed, and there is little of it now.

Philippine Commission, is using every
endeavor to suppress slavery throughout
the Moro province, to which it is almost

Stronger Personnel at SEA.

Representative G. W. Thompson Dem,
Ala. } has introduced bill to reorganize
and increase the efficiency of the person
mel of the Navy and Marine Corps by
placing commissioned officers Of the line
of the Navy, Medical and Pay Corps,
chaplains and professors on the same
footing as officers of the corresponding
rank in the army us regards pay and al
lowanccs, except forage.
Commissioned and retired officers are
protected in the bill by provision that
the pay of the former may not be reduced,
or that of the latter increased or reduced.
The most radical feature Of the bill is
provision to repeal all prize.moncy
statutes. These authorize the distribu-
ton among captors of the proceeds of
vessels and captured property as prize
Naval chaplains not possessing the rela-
tive rank would, under the bill have that
of lieutenant, and all officers, including
warrant officers, who have been or may
be appointed from civil life would on
the date of appointment be credited. for
computing their pay, with five years

AS a result of the Territorial hearings
for Statehood, it is predicted bill will
be reported in the near future from the
House Committee on Territories joining
Oklahoma and Indian Territory in sin
gle State under the name of Oklahoma.
This State will not be admitted, how
ever, until after the allotment of lands
by the Dawes Commission has been COM
pieted and the school land question set
tied. This, it is estimated, will take at
least two years. The State, when ad-
mitted, it is expected, will have popu-
lation of about 800, 900 and will be
divided into four Congressional districts.
Later a bill will be reported from this
committee admitting Arizona and New
Mexico as a single State, but this latter
proposition will not be pressed for some
