DENOUNCE MINISTER'S
BIG MASS MEETING AT OSAKA
Mikado Advises Members to
Retain Office.

Toxic, Sept. IA mass meeting at
Osaka passed the following resolution
without hindrance on the part of the
police:
The peace that has just been con-
cluded between Russia and Japan for
feits the fruits OF victory and sows
seeds of future complications and dan
ger. The governments high-handed
and unconstitutional measure has re-
suited in unexpected disturbance to
the peace of the city in which the
Alikado resides. The empires honor
has been soiled and the spirit of the
| constitution lost. Never has our coun-
try been brought TO face greater dan
ger. Therefore, be ii resolved, that we
hope that the humiiating peace agree
ment will be broken and the govern
ment will resign"
In accordance with established
usage. the Cabinet ministers have pre-
sented an official statement to the
mikado explaining the necessity of in
stituting martial law at the capital and
at the same time asking the imperial
! judgment as to whether they should
remain in office Or retire.
The Emperor's reply, which was
made to-day, advises them to retain
their respective posts.
The special session of the privy
council to-day lasted four hours. No
| bill was presented, only report from
the Cabinet ministers, Premier Kat
sura making an extended statement
of the peace negotiations.
According to the constitution, a
treaty with other powers requires to
| be submitted to the council before rati.
| fication. 1t is unusual to hold spe'
cial sitting for simply making report
on diplomatic affairs before a treaty
assumes form ready for ratification,
and the sitting today, without spe.
cial bill, was rather unexpected.
Opposition political parties have ap'
| pointed an extensive committee to
fully report on sufferings alleged to
have been caused by the police dur.
ing the recent roting. The progres.
sives and their local branches continue
to press resolutions against the gov.
ernment. The Shiba branch condemns
the governments assumption of the
power to suspend newspapers. declar.
ing it to be wholly unconstitutional.
| Quiet, however, prevails in Toxic.

The Department of Commerce and
Labor has caused the arrest of the heads
of a number of manufacturing and con-
tracing concerns of New York city, for
violating the contract labor law by the
importation of foreign workmen. If con-
victed the penalty is fine of not less
than $1,000, or Imprisonment. II is
charged at the time of the strike of the
Tile, Crate and Mantel Association suf-
ficient number of workmen were i'm
ported from Germany and England by
the firms affected, under promise of SIS
per day, to break the strike, the imported
men being instructed to swear falsely to
the immigration officials as to their
reasons for coming. Two weeks after the
failure of the strike the imported men
were discharged, on the ground that they
were not familiar with American tools or
the method of working in this country.
Some of them got home as best they
could while others carried their griev-
auce to the Department of Commerce

may prove dearly-won victory Tor the

the State of Illinois than he did from the
Federal Government. The appointment
is interesting as showing that the govern
ment has hard work to keep first class
men in the face of inducements that are
offered them from other points. The De-
partment of Agriculture, despite the rec
ent development of unsavory scandals in
its administration, has done much good
work. 1t has brought specialists to the
Department to do work that no one else
could do. and it has developed among its
younger men, scientists of genuine capac-
ity. But it has the hardest work to keep
them after they have made anything of a
reputation. In fact it is considered fair
training ground for scientific workers. 1t
Was not so long ago that DIR. Loeve, who
was brought to the department to do
some very special tobacco work, was en-
ticed away by the Japanese government,
which was willing to pay him much
higher salary for doing equally congenisl
work. There have been many ether
similar cases in all the scientific depart
ments of the government, and the ques
ton has been often broached of late
whether scientists in the employ of the
government are paid sufficient wages.

There has been the natural controversy
started pending Miss Alice Roosevelt's
return to the United States as to, whether
or not she has done right in accepting
many handsome and costly gifts that
have been pressed on her by the sover
eigns she has visited. 1t is said in some
quarters that she is bringing back to the
United States gifts aggregating to value
$Ioo, ooo Now it is seldom decent to
drag the families of public men, especial
ly the feminine members of the families,
into a newspaper discussion But there
has been much controversy on this sub
ject and it seems only fair to point out
that Miss Roosevelt would have been put
in very embarrassing position if she
had declined the gifts rendered her.
Whether the value is 500, 900 or 100, 900
cents is beside the mark. She was visit
ing countries where the bestowal of gifts
is mark of courtesy and good will. If
it was pearls in Jo1o, jade in China or
lacquer work in Japan, she would have
been considered in those countries very
churlish if she.had declined. She is the
only daughter of the White House who
has ever had the opportunity to be SO
honored abroad.

that such rate is entirely within reason.
