Ne White Gloves For Speaker canno,

Ne Wn1te Gloves For Speaker cannon
Speaker Cannon is as averse to yea
ing white kid gloves as a part of his
evening attire as he is to bowling low
from his marble rostrum when Assist
ant Secretary Barnes stands at the
head of the. center aisle with a message
from the president, says the Washing
ton Post.
"A few nights ago he was one of the
chief guests at a prominent social func-
ton. Stepping friskily into the gentle
mems dressing room, he noticed several
young men working into their white
gloves.
"Boys," said he in a burst of frank
ness, "have kid gloves come back into
style again? BY gosh, I don't like to
'em. They went out Of style for
me fifteen years ago"
And brushing the specks of his swal-
lowtail coat, which fitted him as grace
fully as though it were made by the
most fashionable Of London tailors, the
speaker Of the house pranced down the
grand staircase barehanded.

Needn't Take . C.ssins In Kansas.

Needn't TNkea Cuss1ng In kansas.
Squire Smith Of Harrison township,
in Kiowa county, Kan, has handed
down some new law, says the Kansas
City Journal. A man was brought be-
fore him the other day charged with
assault. The defendant admitted the
crime, but said that he was justified in
committing it because the complaining
witness had called him a lot Of vile
names. The squire discharged the
prisoner, saying that a man who would
cuss another deserved to be licked.

A SPY SYSTEM.
Experience of Two Americans WhG
Were Swallowed In Tokyo.

Experience Of Two Americans Who
Were Swallowed In Tokyo.
The system of espionage in Japan
! covers the foreigners and natives alike,
and if there is anything it misses it is
small, writes Oscar King Davis, the
Tokyo correspondent of the New York
Herald. 1t considers the possible mean
ing Of private kilograms and also in
spects the goings and comings Of pri-
vate persons. The other day two Amer
leans came out of the Hotel Tokyo and
started on a morning walk. Before
they had gone far they discovered they
were followed. Both were husky men.
They gave the spy a merry chase for
an hour, and then they brought him.
back to the hotel, and while one kept
him occupied the other went into the
hotel and got an interpreter. Then
they demanded to know what he meant
by following them. There was an ex-
citing debate between the interpreter
and the other. Then the interpreter
said:
"He says he is from the country and
never has been in Tokyo before in his
life. You are the first foreigners he
ever has seen, and he was SO much in
terested in your manner, your dress and
your talk he followed you. He meant
no offense and asks your pardon"
For some years there have been in
the n~eighborhood of 10000 Japanese in
Manchuria and 10000 in Korea. Near
~ every n has been a source of in
formation to the military authorities in
Tokyo, and not a few have been mill
tary men in one disguise or another.
With false pigtails and Chinese dress,
they have worked as servants for the
Russians, understanding and noting
every word their masters said.
It is IN advantage the Russians can
never have. Their bulk absolutely pre-
vents them from undertaking any such
secret work with the Japanese, and
they are forced to rely upon the Chi
nese for spies or upon a few renegade
Japanese they have been able to find,
with the added difficulty that such Jap
anese almost are as we'll known to
their own government as to the Rus

Become a National Trait and That
the Government Could No Longer
Restrain the People.
The Rev. 3. H. Van Dyke, a mis-
sionary to Japan of the Methodist Prot
estant church, who left Yokohama on
Jan. 13 and arrived the other night in
Kansas City, was interviewed by q re-
porter Of the Kansas City Times, to
whom he said:
II was not surprised to see that val
has begun. Before I left Japan mass
meetings had been arranged to rouse
the people in favor Of an immediate
declaration of war, but the government
suppressed the meetings. But the jap
anese people were already intensely ca
ger to fight Russia. They have known
for years that their country and Russia
would eventually be at a and all
through Japan there is a strong hatred
Of Russia. The aggressions of Russia
had CALLED the Japanese, and the pru-
dence and patience Of the Japanese
government in negotiating with Rus
STA had almost overtaxed the people.
They wouldn't have submitted to lon
ger delay, feeling that Japan was ready
for war and delay would help Russia.
1.-THE people had become so aroused
against Russia that considerable
ing would probably have been neces-
sary to get them to stand for the
terms the Japanese government pro-
posed.
"Unless the case becomes desperate
it is not likely that Japan will have to
call for volunteers. But if volunteers
are needed there won't be anybody left
in the country but the exceedingly
young and the gray headed.
1.-THE Japanese are decidedly more
favorable to the United States than to
any other nation. They have a feeling
that If necessary the United States
will at least show strong sympathy
and not suffer them to be annihilated.
Marquis Ito and Governor Taft had a
long interview at Yokohama when the
latter left for the United States a week
before I started. 1t was reported there
that Governor Taft had said that the
United States would be neutral, but in
timated that if necessary a definite
friendliness might be expected toward
Japan.
1.-THE Japanese have the same rever-
N for their emperor that most de-
vout Christians have for God. They
would lay down their lives for the en-
peror or for their country, which to
their minds is the same thing. The
emperor is also popular through his
personality.
'"There are many political parties in
Japan, but all of them united in de-
manding the beginning of hostilities.
There a few so called pro-Rus-
slams, who advocated conciliatory
measures to avert a war, but they
were like all the others, ready to fight
Russia if necessary"
The Rev. Mr.. Van Dyke mentioned
the reply of the newly elected presi-
dent of the lower house to the emper-
or's message in December. The reply
roasted" the cabinet for allowing
Russia to delay a war, and the house
approved it unanimously. The result
was that the house was %prorogued.
The upper house, consisting of mobiles,
made the usual formal reply to the
message. The president of the lower
house is Of the opposite political party
from Marquis Ito. This house is elect
ed by the people, and it's act was tn"
result of pressure by and sympathy
with the people.

The Needs of Japan.

During each of the last five
years the United States has pur-
chased more of the products OF
Japan than any other country,
and more than all of Europe, yet
British India and Great Britain
each sell more to Japan than does
the United States. During 1908,
however, the imports from the
United States increased 13 per
cent, as compared with 1901,
while those from most European
countries fell off. The United
States continues to surpass all
other countries IN furnishing
Japanese importations of electric
light apparatus or instruments,
electric motors, fire engines and
pumps, flour, sole leather, kero-
sene oil, lubricating oil, paraffin
wax, cardboard, leaf tobacco,
timber other than teak, bicycles
and electric light wire. The eX.
portation Of flour by the United
States to Japan is threatened bv
Canada. The Dominion people
are making strong effort to in
crease their trade in the east.
They are striving especially to
advertise the merits of Canadian
flour. The United States has
been furnishing from SO to 90
per cent of all the flour imported
into Japan, and last year this.
commodity ranked third in value
among the imports from the Uni
ted States, raw ginned cotton
being the first and kerosene oil
the second. The most important
import from Canada during 1902
was salted salmon and trout, of
which she furnished nearly twice
as much as the United States

thus far they are not taken very

therefore, it is entirely likely
that this name will remain on the
