that her answer will not have the effect
OF precipitating hostilities.
The officials here are gratifed at an
apparently authoritative statement that
Japan does not intend TO fortify the

japan
A strong intimation has been made that
the maritime nations OF Europe and the
United States would have taken up tho
question unless this declaration had been
made.

THE RED CROSS IN JAPAN.
Has Been Doing Good Work In One
Form or Another for
Thirty Years

The Japanese Red Gross society had
its origin In the Hakuaisha. an associa-
ton organized for the care Of the sick
and wounded In the Kagoshima civil
war OF 1877 Two noblemen holding
high Official positions first conceived the
scheme OF sending relief to the sufferers
IN this war Their efforts we're second
ed By other influential japanese. and In
May. 1877. the association received Inn
perial sanction to send corps Of doe
tors and nurses into the field to the re-
lief Of imperialists and rebels alike.
The Hakualsha did not disband at the
close Of the war, and In 1856 the Japan
ese government gave its adherence "a
the Geneva convention. The Hakualsha
then revised its constitution In such a
way az to enable Il to afillate with the
Red Cross. The society was placed un-
der the patronage Of the emperor and
bis household and In direct connection
with the army and navy. Its name was
changed to the Red Cross Society Of
Japan. and afterward Z, was merged
into the international Red Cross so

Hawaiian franchises.

WASHINGTON, February 11.-W. o.
Smith of Hawaii is here trying to OBJ
tain legislation to straighten out the
muddle regarding the franchises grant
ed by the Hawaiian Legislature to
electric light, gas and railroad COM
panies. Bills for the valuable fran
chises granted are now pending in
Congress and the Committee on Terri
tories will give Mr.. Smith a hearing
in n few days.
There is also a bill pending to take
away from Hawaii the right to grant
franchises without the consent of Con-
gress. There seems to be a general
feeling among the members of the Ter
ritorial Committee that Congress
should either pass upon the franchises
direct or enact general law provid-
ing for the organization of corpora
tions and the granting of franchises in
Hawaii, as was done in the case of
other territories.
