The recent hearing on bill before congress to forbid the erection of pub- lie buildings within the limits of vista four hundred and forty-five feet in each direction from a line from the Capitol to the Washington Monument, so as to protect the mall as it was orig inally designed, was really protest against the plans of the Agricultural department, whose new building would extend one hundred and forty-five feet over the line. So formidable was the protest that the committee in charge of the building decided to revise their plans, and have since notified the ap- propriations committee that they could keep the site outside the proposed limit.

All of the Japanese are not "pagans. Many of the prominent men of Japan are. Christians. To this creed belong one member of the imperial cabinet, two judges of the Supreme court, two presidents of the lower house of Parlia- ment, three vice ministers of state not to mention a host of officials in the lower ranks. In the present parliament the president and thirteen members in a total membership of 300 are Chris tians. In the army there are 155 Chris tian officers, or 3 per cent. of ali, and the two largest battleships are com nlanded by Christians. In Tokio three of the great daily papers have Chris tian editors.

was to dispatch two lcttcrS-one to

with Sir Arthur had long since ovapo-
rated and he rightly judged that his
brother would meet him halfway on
hts homecoming, and let by-goncs be
by-eones. He would arrive almost as
soon as the letters.
Ninety minutes later he was in the
metropolis via the steamer train, and
after breakfast at his old club, the
RogIan he made sundry visits to the
tailor. the haberdashcr and his bank
crs. and then drove to the identical
private detective agency in Yelling

Substance of Reply.

Russia's reply has been, in substance,
as follows:
1--WE cannot discuss Manchuria with
you any more than we could Australia
or the Philippines. Manchuria belongs
neither to us nor to you. 1t does not lie
within the jurisdiction Of either of us
to dispose of the future of Manchuria,
Russia. however, is willing to observe
the treaty rikhts of all the powers in
Manchuria and now engages to do so.
Russia, It is ADDED, thus removes from
the negotiations one of the points upon
which Japan counted for the moral sup
port of other powers and whereon she
specially had the sympathy Of the Unit
ed States and Great Britain.

Japan are not known officially here but
