london. March 1.-THE continued
existence OF the present government
after the past eventfui week In parlis-
ment creates surprise even among les
most faithful supporters. Premier
Balfour kept the cabinet In power by
majority of forty-six gained ut the
expense Of what Is universally admit
ted to be a personal defeat for the
premier
question became a live issue In Brit
ish politics, Joseph Chamberiain's
followers showed their strength and
intentions. No less than 10 members
Of the House OF Commons cut them-
selves on record this week as willing
to turn out Mr.. Baifour rather than
sacrifice their adherence TO Mr.. Cham
berlain's out and out proteotionist
principles. As a result Mr. Baifour
has foregone his personal policy OF
retaliation and is retained by the sup
port OF those members OF parliament
who openly uphold preferential aAt
protective duties.
On all sides it Is admitted that
dissolution of parliament alone can
solve the existing complex and mud
died condition OF the parties In the
House of Commons. The cabinet tt
self SO recently reconstructed, has
been on the verge OF a serious spite.
Daring the week, Austin Chamberlain.
the chancellor OF the excheQuer, CSl-
onial Secretary Lyttleton and several
minor members OF the government
threatened to resign unless Mr.. Bal
four withdrew his support Of the mo-
yu dannrnnQ1 anh N Fr1-
berlain's proposed preferential duties
based on the taxation OF food. Beset
without and within, Mr.. Balfour gave
in to the Chamberlainites and stiu
further antagonized the Free Trade
Unionists
Lord Roseberry's passionate attack
from the sedate House OF Lords on
Thursday has not yet ceased to cause
sensation. which can scarcely fe
realized except by those who know
how hard and fast the cony entions
with which the upper house is hedgea.
Lord Roseberry only voiced the bitter
ness against Mr.. Balfour which pre-
walls among the families OF these men,
bers Of the cabinet who resigned.
though their relatives for centuries
had supported the Tory leaders.
Mr.. Balfour's reply to Lord Rose
berry Is expectantly awaited.
Experts in British elections express
diametrically opposed forecasts re-
gardfng the probable result of the ap-
peal to the country which In now some
what impatiently awaited by the pub
lie. They all agree, however that
neither Mr.. Chamberlain nor Mr..
Balfour, on their respective planks OF
protection and retaliation are likely To
be returned to power. The best
balanced opinion Is that when Mr..
Balfour either ends the tenure Of the
present government or IL In ended for
him. there will be a series Of see-saw
political evolutions, with the Irish
party holding the scales.

Japan's Financial Programme.

Toxic, March 12.-Practically COM
plete figures, with Forz1osa and some
districts OF Japan missing, show that
the first issue Of 100,000,0O0 yen of
eXcheQuer war bonds, has been sub
scrfbed four and one-half times. The
subscriptions recorded by the Bank
of Japan amounts to i5O,000,OO0 yen.
This proves the correctness of the
preliminary estimate that the govern
ment would be able to raise 50O,O0O,-
00e yen for war purposes from do
mestic sources
The cabinet and elder statesmen
conferred for four hours today. They
discussed the financial situation and
the war tax measures to be submitted
to the special session of the diet. and
decided to realize SIS, 100000 by post
poning the government undertakings
and $S5,000,00e by a war tax. 1t is
understood that a plan extending the
government tobacco monopoly, so as to
include manufactured tobacco, and
the creation of a salt monopoly was
considered. RusSia's extensive mill
tary programme makes an extension
of Japan's financial programme i'm
perative so the monopoly measures
possibly may be submitted to the spe-
cial session of the diet

In the cross examination Mr. vancot
brought out a great deal OF testimony
ton Of Reed Smoot for the Senate and
Judge Hiies stated positively:
M Smoot could not have been elect
ed TO the United States Senate IL hts

been a lay member OF the church. that
he would not have been elected. or
that IL he had been an apostle and had
not the endorsement OF his quorum he
could not have been eiected?"
"Mr. Smoot could not have been eiect-
ed without being an apostle and without
the consent OF the church"

he had given. for the Aormons sending
non -Mormons TO the Senate How

The witness said his basis for believ-
ing that polygamy was more fragrant
since Utah was admitted as a state
was that more polygamous children
were being born.
Senator Hopkins asked a number OF
questions to find out if Judge Hiles
knew whether there had been any poly
gamous marriages since the manifesto
and he said he did not. Witness said
he believed that such marriages had
taken place.
Mr.. Taylor stated that they had a
great deal OF evidence to offer that
plural marriages had taken place since
the manifesto.
There being no other witnesses to
examine. the committee adjourned SUBJ

Laurin-Investigati Committee is
Named i'm the House.

Washington, March 12.-There was
an echo of the Indianola Miss post
office case in the Senate today when
Mr.. McLaurin rose to a question of
personal privilege to explain a news
paper report to the effect that the
authorities Of that place place under
arrest peddlers of pictures of Presi-
dent Roosevelt and Booker Washing
ton who may chance to go there.
The Senate considered, but did not
dispose of, the fortification appropria-
ton bill.
A number Of bills wer,, passed. One
of them has for its purpose the pre-
vention Of the desecration OF the
American flag by using it for ad-
vertising purposes
Mr.. McLaurin, of Mississippi. took
the floor to make a personal explana-
ton regarding a newspaper para
graph saying that authorities of In
dianola. Miss. are engaged in arrest
ing people for selling photographs of
President Roosevelt and Booker
Washington. Ordinarily, said Mr..
McLaurin. a story of this character
would not be worth attention. but
that under the circumstances he felt
he should refer to it for the purpose
OF refuting it, as it is entirely without
foundation.
Mr.. McLaurin said that the para
graph had grown out of q statement
made in a newspaper letter written
by A. G. Paxton, an attorney Of Le-
land, Miss, who told of the arrest at
that point OF three men, who he said
were engaged in selling pictures of
the President and Washington seated
at table together and also OF OBJ
scene character. These pictures, he
said. appealed strongly to race preju-
dice.
Similar arrests also. Mr.. McLaurin
said, had been made at IndianoIa,
and 1t was found upon the hearing of
the case that a Cincinnati firm engag-
ed in publishing the pictures in ques-
ton, had many agents out in the in
terest OF these works. me men were
tried and some of them sent out of
the county a-d Mr.. NcLaurin express
ed surprise that any community
should have permitted them to be
tried. He said the penalty imposed
by the law was entirely too small and
expressed the opinion that the death
penalty would not be too severe. He
added that the arrests were not be
cause the men were selling photo
graphs Of the President or OF Wash
ington, but because they were selling
lewd pictures
Mr.. Foraker said that he never had
heard OF the Cincinnati firm mention
ed as responsible for the publication
OF the pictures.

Praise for Admiral MakarofY.

St Petersburg, March 13.-Adniral
Makaroff's name is on every lip in
st. Petersburg today. He is the hero
OF the hour. There Is deep seated
conviction here that henceforth there
will be a complete change Of sea tao
tics and that Admiral Makaroff will
make the f1eet at Port Arthur an ag-
gresSive force. He enjoys the reputa-
ton throughout the length and
breadth of the empire of being a
dashing officer. His ideas run coun-
ter to those generally accepted by na-
val experts and strategists. One OF
his pet aversions is armor. The ad-
miral is ever outspoken In his critt-
cism of the heavy battlesh1p, and
shows his partiality for a fleet COM
posed of large number OF swift, un-
armored cruisers armed with heavy
guns and attended by an unlimited
number of torpedo boats.
The cruiser Novik, to which he
transferred his flag in the attempt to
rescue the torpedo boat destroyer, is
practically without armor protection.
Admiral Makaroff's prediction for
swift ships has earned him the SOU
briQuet of the 'C'OSscka
briquet of the "CossacK of the Sea-
,He is not likely to give the enemy
much rest while any of his cruisers or
torpedo boats remain afioat.

Russian Reply to the Japanese Re-
jOinder.


St. Petersburg. March 12.-The
following reply, inspired by the for
eign Office, to Japan's rejoinder to the
Russian protests against The violation
of Korean neutrality, may be accept
ed as official:
Japanese argument that she was
justified in landing troops in Korea
before the declaration of war, be-
cause she had Korea's permission, and
also that these troops arrived in Ko-
rea after 1.-The existence Of a state of
war" is without value, as Korea in
January promulgated her neutrality
to the powers. Therefore. no state
of war gave the Japanese the right to
violate her neutrality by landing
troops in her territory.
Japan's contention, in defence of
the attack on the Russian ships AT
Chemulpo, that the port was not neu-
trail February 9th is false again, be-
cause Korea had proclaimed her neu-
trality.
The statement reaSSerts malicious
interference by Japan with the trans
mission of Russian kilograms over the
Danish cable, saying a cablegram to
Baron Rosen, at Toxic, was delayed
two days.
The statement contends that japan
notified the Russian minister at Korea
to leave and that the seizure of mer-
chantmen was an act of piracy.
