London, Jan. 1.-THE Times Pelin
CORRESPONDENT, cabling under Mon
day date, says that the Chinese min
lister at Toxic, at the request OF the
japanese foreign Office, telegraphed
the following to Prince Ching:
THE second Russian reply to the
japanese proposal has been received

In view of such an eventuality Japan
urges and expects China TO maintain
the strictest neutrality, TO preserve or

eigners resident in the interior, and
TO take especial care TO preserve order
in the provinces of Shan Tung and
Young, lest foreign powers might
seize the pretext of disorder and make
aggressive movements therein"
The correspondent says that the dis
patch has deeply impressed the Chi

the HOME OF THE MICROBES.

If St Paul could have seen the time
when 96,0OO,O0O microbes would be
found on single greenback he would
have been more than ever convinced
that the love of money Is the root Of
all evil, says the Saturday Evening
Post. The health authorities through
out the country are becoming aroused
to the danger of disease carrying cur
rency, and Health Commissioners Dar-
ilngton, of New York, proposes that
every piece Of money In circulation
shall be freely disenfected. At the
same time congress is asked to pass
an act compelling the government to
destroy all Of the bills it takes in and
pay out none but new ones.
OF course, nothing ought to be al
lowed TO stand in the way Of health,
but it Is worth while to remember that
under this arrangement bills Of small
denominations would Re an extremely
expensive luxury for our Uncle Sam
uel. 1t costs the government a little
over cent and two thirds to print,
issue and redeem a note, regardless
of its size That is over one and two
thirds per cent OF the value of a dol
lar bill If the notes were purely fiat
issued with nothing but the public
credit behind them-the government
would, in fact, be borrowing at three
and one third per cent IL they were
redeemed twice year, six and two
thirds per cent If they were redeemed
quarterly, and twenty percent IL they
were redeemed monthly. But, in ad-
dition, it loses the interest on a huge
gold reserve and an enormous mass Of
silver bullion, most of the small bills
being silver certificates.
The cost of printing and handling
is insignificant in proportion to the
value Of large bill, but it is very heavy

JAPANESE RESOURCES,

Il Japan Is beginning to discover tina
war is expensive business, Although
her struggle with Russia has only jus
begun. she finds herself oramoed TO
revenue, and, to eke out expenses, th'
Japanese cabinet now proposes L
double the income tax on land, increase
the taxes on spirits and tobacco and
create variety Of new taxes, What
this means may be inferred from the
fact that Japan has already raised a
big revenue from dueies on imports and
stamps, from the excise on alcohol and
sugcr, from the post and telegraphs,
from the tobacco monopoly and from
the railroads, forests and other govern
ment enterprises,
While japan has made marked prog
ress in civilization, it is to be rcmem-
bered that she Is still comparatively a
poor nation. The bulk OF her popula-
ton is on the verge OF indigence, and
the rate of wages among many Of the
working classes is almost as low as III
Is In China. Her foreign trade In 1902
amounted to only $3.50 OoO OOOo--far less
than that OF Spain. which has only
about one- third the population Of Jap
an. Her imports are only little over
SO per capita, while her exports per
capita are still less. Her total savings
bank deposits amount TO less than s4O,-
100000. an average OF less than Sc for
each depositor, while in 1902 the total
deposits of the bank Of Japan We're less
than ss,O0oO0O. Although her monetary |
system Is now on a gold basis, her en-
tire stock Of the yellow metal is only
I62. 100000. Her other resources are on
4 similar limited scale. is evident
rom such statistics, that Japan is In
10 situation to stand the strain OF a
and expensive war.
While the present conflict is in prog
-ess, too. all sorts of japanese trade
md industry cannot fail to he seriously
.ffected. Foreign commerce must neces-
arily be interrupted. while heavy taxa
ion for war purposes means inevitably

ime. an enormous decrease in the pro-
uction Of national wealth. She Is

Apparently, Japans salvation rests

LAND FOR DELAWARE
Diamond State May Get Slice Of
Chester County, Pa.

| euc Of the bits of legislation that will
( likely come up for the consideration of
the Pennsylvania Legislature at its COM
ing session in january will provide for
the appointment of commissioners to ar
range to give the State of Delaware n bit

When the circular boundary, that
swung with a radius of - miles from the
Court House at New Castle, on the Della

boundary of Lord Delaw7are's colony in
the New World, it left bit of ground
on the south side of the Horseshoe Bend
of the Brandywinc Creek, a few miles
below Chadfs Ford, in Birmingham
township, Chester county.
a natural division would have been TO
have followed the creek. then to have
reached the rim of the circle at the west
point Of the curve in the creek, but the
surveyors swung steadily on, keeping
their line II miles from the old Court
House, and the division. at least so far
~ that arr of the circle is concerned,
has remained to this day.
Before the American Revolution was
fairly over the agitation was begun for
a division of Chester county, which COM
priScd MI of the territory now in the
Seventh Congressional district, and in
l'S9 the cat WAS passed which erected
Delaware county. In the division of
townships the old name Birmingham was
kept by the township on the east side of
the Brandywine, thus giving township
with that nomenclature in both counties
Hrd lying contiguous on the same side
of the creek.
The little section of territory living in
the Horseshoe Bend was forgotten in the
excitement over the county division. as
it w'S accomplished after warm fight

pert of birmingham Chester county. The
peculiar feature of this division is that
the cutoff territory is four miles from
the township of which it is n part. so

County.
The legislation it is proposed to enact
is to give this territory to the State of

of Delaware county, is interested in the
matter. and expects TO have a little do
nation in land ready for the Diamond
State in due time.

FIVE ACRES
WITH WATER
ideal Size for Home
In Valleys About
Honolulu.

''There is no question that the valleys
about the city of Honolulu would soon
fill up with the homes of desirable peo-
pie if the landowners would consent
to put their tracts on the market in villa
lots. said o. st. John Gilbert last night.
1.-The article in Fridays Advertiser
should point the way. Given, say,
fve-acre lot. and a man could not only
make living on it without doing any
thing else, but he could also make
living for his family.
But there is something else needed
besides the land-namely: the right to
buy water from the government at irri-
eating prices. Yes. there is plenty of
water. But under the present system
there is no way by which water can
be bought.
"As to the products to be raised, there
are any number that would pay hand
some PROFITS. 1dnlCuIIl, alfalfa illllAS~,
sorghum, all these will grow in the
valleys. and a man could raise enough
of any of these and other products to
provide for little dairy and to support
a family handsomely.
IF we are to attract people here we
must show them where they can get
land-and that is not farming lands so
much as it is land for homes. Ameri-
can people, seeking to settle in new
land, want to own their homes, and
the villa lot is a much more attractive
proposition to the home seeker than
a city lot. 1t is not necessary
to have farms. But the wise family
man wants at least five acres to make
his home on.
Let the land owners about Kaimuki
divide their tracts into five-acre tracts,
and let provision be made for irriga-
tion-and you would see the valleys
around Honolulu fill up as if by magic. -
