JAPS WANT MORE SALMON.
inquiry as to Prices of the Cheaper
Grades of Fish.

New York Commercial; That Japan
is again in the market for salmon was
indicated in advices received yester-
day making inquiries resarding condi-
tions and prices on the cheaper grades
of fish here These inquiries, it Is
said, do not come from government
sources, but from private firms, though
no doubt exists in the minds Of dealers
here that any purchases made will ul-
timately be used as rations for the
troops in the field. 1t is believed here
that the efforts made to ascertain mar
ket conditions by Japanese interests
are on behalf of speculative interests.
Up to the close no business had been
done for shipment to Japan. but it is
believed that negotiations covering a
considerable quantity of pink salmon
are under way.
This market, it is said, is carrying
most of the stock of pink salmon,
Speculative holders and packing in
terests on the coast are said TO be en-
tirely cleaned up on old goods, and SO
far as can be learned no prices are
quoted on the 1904 pack. the quantity
available out of the new pack not be-
ing known yet. Spot pink salmon is In
close compass, being held by two in
terests who are quoting 722c to 75c
per dozen here. The little left from
the 1908 pack on the coast is held there
at 75c, b, coast, and the market
on the 1904 pack is expected to open
at this figure.
The japanese purchases in the late
winter and early spring covered a to-
tai of 100000 cases, chiefly pink tails,
prices paid ranging from CSC to 671sc
per dozen, b, coast. This supply,
according to one advice from the coast,
has been shipped out. The spot market
on red Alaska salmon closed firmer yes
terday, with little stock offered in any
quarter at $135 for tails. A consid-
cradle business has been done for
jobbing account, and further business
is pending. Sales at s1.S71s and S1.4O
have been done on well-known brands,

Hanna an Honorary thodist.

Mr.. w. Tyler Page. who was the Republican
nominee for Congress from of the Maryland
districts in the last campaign, says the late
Senator Hanna was Methodist. demonstrated
by the following anecdote:
''Dr. Davis, of Hartford county came to
Washington TO invite Mr. Hanna to attend a
Methodist conference in Maryland" said Mr.
Page the other day. ct accompanied him a
call to the senator. who was pleased at the in
vitation, but replied that it would be impossible
for him TO accept.
by the way said Mr.. Hanna, were
leaving L am a Methodist. perhaps you know
DIR. Davis expressed surprise. saying that he
had always understood Mr. Hanna was an Epis-
copalan.
I'll tell you how it was continued Mr.
Hanna. Bishop Fowler and some prominent
laymen of the Methodist Church were guests at
my house in Cleveland. 1 tried TO put il UP to
them in good shape. and they seemed to appre-
ciate my hospitality. AS they about to de-
part, something was said about a proper ex-
preston Of gratitude TO me. and Bishop Fowler
asserted that he would second any motion made.
Then of the laymen moved that l be
declared honorary. member of the Methodist
Church. Bishop Fowler seconded Il. Only the
aye vote taken, but the nays didn't assert
themselves and 1 have ever since considered
myself honorary Methodist Denver Times.

Are Teachers Legally PupiIs:

There is little but temporary comfort for: the
public-school teachers in the decision of Supreme
Court Justice Dixon in the case of Miss Eliza
beth A. Allen, Hoboken vice principal iwho
was suspended by the Board of Education for
refusing TO submit theses on an outside course
of lectures established by the board of teachers.
The court holds that the suspension of Miss
Allen was void net because the board hat no
right to take that action. 1t decided thai it
was within the scope of the powers of the b!ard
to establish the course and pay for Il out Of the
general school'fund. but the question of its I.ght
TO compel the attendance. Of the teachers and
the writing of theses only come before the
court after an appeal to the state educational
authorities had been decided adversely to. the
contestant
The effect of the decision. while il should
instate the Hoboken teacher. is really then,
that she has pursued the wrong remedy for re-
dress The real question is one of much int:re
TO all the teachers. They all want to Know
whether the boards OF education have the ptwer
to compel them to attend school. as it were
outside of school hours and submit TO the dis
cipIine of pupils after they have secured teach
ers' certificates. They will have to wait until
the Hoboken teacher can carry her cast, up
through the proper channels. II would NO. be
hard to guess upon which side the sympathy OF
the majority will be placed.-Newark IN! j.

CHINESE LABOR.

In this part of the country no prejudice
against Cinnamon has ever existed, the ex-
clusion act of which the distinguished
visitors now in Indianapolis are inclined to
interests of the Pacific coast and not great
ly concerning the rest of the United States
1t is question now if the objection to the
admission of the Orientals is as great as
has been represented. At ali events, though
they were excluded because of the demands
of the American workingmen, the need Of
their services in certain fields of labor is
greatly felt. A prominent Californian is
quoted as recommending a modification Of
the exclusion act that Would permit the en-
trance of Chinese immigrants into the farm
ing and fruit districts, but would forbid
their colonization in cities, where
they come most into conflict with
white labor. In California agricultural
regions it is almost impossible to secure
laborers. and no class of employees has ever
given such satisfaction there as Chinese.
II is doubtful if such a. plan could be made
practical in its workings, but the sugges-
ton serves to show the drift of thought
out that way. 1t is at least plain that
where Chinese workmen do not interfere
with white labor the chief argument against
their presence disappears

European exchanges contain many good anec-
dotes concerning the late Theodore Mommsen the
great German historian. They refer chiefly to
his absent mindedness which was one of this
learned mans most conspicuous failings. On
one occasion the professor was engaged in his
study in profound researches and failed to notice
the presence of his servant. who announced
lunch ready. The servant asked IL he might
bring it to the professor. and, receiving no reply,
laid the table near the. writing desk. Returning
ten minutes later with some fish, the dishonest
mental found the soup untouched. Thinking it
too good to spoil he sat down and finished soup
and fish unobserved of the professor. The re-
naming courses suffered similar fate. About
an hour later Mommsen looked up from his
work. and, feeling a vacuum, proceeded to the
kitchen to ask why luncheon had not been
served. But the professor has had his luncheon
an hour ago." expostuated the servant. Dear
me!'' said the historian of Rome; how could I
be so forgetful? and returned peaceably to his
study.-Leslie's Weekly.

teeming and productive population. with
several lines of railroad pouring the prod

with regular lines of steamers plying be-

Some of the most important features in

the Philippines, our improving relations
with China and Japan, and the laying of

a realization Of the situation. Still more
important will be the completion of the

Mississippi valley and even the Atlantic
coast into closer relations with the Pacific

THE NEW EAST.

Fifty years ago the only East known to
the American people was Europe. All trade
and travel from the interior sought the At
lantic seaboard, and whatever eastern trade
we had was by that ocean. The Pacific was
a vast, mysterious, unexplored body of
water, chiefly interesting on account of the
apocryphal stories of adventures among its
islands told by travellers who drew largely
on their imaginations for their facts. The
popular mind peopled the islands with can
ribals and mermaids. and hardly any per-
son thought of the ocean or the lands be-
yond it as likely ever to contribute to the
trade of the United States. The Pacific
line. The great and populous States which
now lie along its border were undreamed of.
In those days Thomas III. Benton. United
States senator from Missouri. was one of
the very few persons who saw the possibili-
Ties of the Pacific and the lands beyond to
American trade. He labored earnestly to
secure government authority for a trans
continental exploration. which, finally led
by his son-in-law. John c. Fremont. first
demonstrated to the people that the Pacific
coast was really a part OF the United
States. Benton's rare foresight enabled him
TO see. at least in part. what lay in, on and
beyond the Pacific for the United States. on
one occasion in speech delivered in ST
Louis. turning his back on the Atlantic
coast and on Europe and pointing straight
west he said, There is the East That
was long before the Union Pacific Railroad
was built. and. of course, Ions before there
was port of entry on the Pacific coast or
any ship had ever cleared from there for
the East
