A Japanese Trust Fund.

The testimony OF japanese writer
In the Atlantic Monthly, that one rea-
son for Japanese success is the devo-
ton OF the people to memories of their
ancestors, IL borne out by an independ-
ent story which comes by way Of the
London Times.
Three hundred years ago one of the
Tokugawa clan received from his faith
er the province OF Dwarf. and a num-
Der OF little statues OF horses cast in
gold. with direction to preserve them
until some national emergency arose.
Although feudallsm fell In 1874, and
the house Of Dwarf became quite poor.
It's successive heads strictly obeyed the
Injunction OF their ancestor until q
short time ago.
Then the family. believing that ma
tional emergency had arisen, trans
ferred the secret hoard, amounting to
half a million dollars OF American
money, TO the national treasury. and
afterward publicly informed the spirit
Of their ancestor that the trust had
been faithfully performed.

president urges congress to Do
Something for Alaska Natives.
Washington, Jan. 23.-In transmit.
ting to the senate q report by Lieut..
Il. T. Emmons, of the navy, ON the
condition of the natives Of Alaska, the
president sent message saying:
"Lieut. Emmons had for many
years peculiar facilities for ascertain
ing the facts about the natives Of Alas.
ks and has recently concluded an in
vestigation made on the ground by my
spectral direction. very earnestly
ask the attention Of congress to the
facts set forth in this report a. to the
needs Of the native people Of Alaska.
1t seems to me that our honor AZ ma.
ton is involved in seeing that these
needs are met. earnestly hope that
legislation along the general lines sd.
vocated by Lieut.. Emmons can 10
enacted"
In his report Lieut.. Emmons says
that the thrush of white settlers in
Alaska has caused q complete change
of conditions; that the game is being
rapidly killed of and the food supply
Of the Indians rapidly exhausted; that
they are like grown-up children and
incapable Of taking care Of themselves
in the new conditions and that 1t will
be necessary to do something substan.
tial for them at an early day to pre-.
vent actual suffering.

BRYAN SEES ROOSEVELT.


Democratic lesder Is warmly wei
Coined bv the President.
Washington, Jan. 23.-W. J. Bryan
called on President Roosevelt at the
White House Saturday. He was COR
daily greeted BY Mr.. Roosevelt, az
we'll % BY . number Of Republican
senators and representatives who hap
pened to be in tho executive offices ct
the time Of his visit. The president
was engaged in an adjoining room with
Senator Proctor when he learned Of
Mr.. Bryan's presence In the cabinet
room, but a. soon as he heard Of that
the noted Democrat was there went to
him and grasped his hand cordially.
"Come in here" said the president.
who piloted Mr.. Bryan into his pri-
vste office, where, joined by Senator
Jones Of Arkansas, they remained for
five or ten minutes.
At the conclusion Of the interview,
Mr.. BRYAN said to newspaper reporters
that his talk with the president had
been cordial and satisfactory and that
they had discussed several matters.
''It was y pleasure tn commend his
attitude on some things said Mr..
Bryan.
"Not on all things, them" he was
asked.
"No. of course not" said Mr.. Bry

what party is supporting it. I have

gree with President Roosevelt's views

him so. I also think Mr.. Garfield, Of

SOP TO President.
Believed Congress will En-.
oct Some Harmless
Legislation.

Washington, Jan. 23.-By announc-
ing that there will be an extra session
Of congress unless there is some legis.
lation relating to the curtailment IT
the privileges of railroads and amend.
atory to the interstate commerce law,
the president will probably drive con.
gress into action at this session. That
action is likely to take the form Of
some bill to be incorporated in an ap-
preparation bill as an amendment.
This amendment will no doubt be Of a
harmless kind. directed against re-
bates, and possibly give the interstate
commerce commission some authority
to check glaring examples Of rate dis.
elimination.
Probably this will not be enough to
satisfy the president, but it will show
that it is all that can be had at this
session. The president is reasons BILE
man, and will not undertake to secure
more than compromises between
what he wants and what congress ID
willing to give, il there is doubt about
securing anything more.
As 1t seems to be practically settled
now that there will be no extra session
for the tariff, and probabilities point
to some interstate commerce legisla.
ton of mild character at this session,
the extra session talk is subsiding.
There really has not been very much
probability Of an extra session at any
time during the discussion, because
congress was opposed to it.

CALL IT accidental.
Chorge Of Crepe Goes Over
Heed of Czar---fired by
AriStOCratiC Battery.

st. Petersburg, Jan. 2l.-The cere-
mony Of blessing the waters this year
was accompanied by an event more
mysterious, unprecedented and extra
ordinary than any afforded by the an
nails Of Russian history. For a Rus.
sian sovereign to fall by the hand of
an assassin is no new thing in Russian
records. but that the emperor should
narrowly escape death by shot from
his own artillery while he was engag.
ed in solemn religious rite. surround.
ed by priests Of his church. is go diff
cult to realize as to be almost incred-
ible.
Yet this Is what has happened and
the Russian public 10 left wondering
and mystified.
BY the merest chance the imperial
family escaped unhuft, but public
opinion is stunned by what might have
been the tragic results Of the affair.
The festival Of the Epiphany, the
blessing Of the waters, had just con.
cluded at one O'Clock when simultane.
ously with the salute fired from the
st. Peter and st. Paul fortress a charge
OF grape shot swept over the little
chapel built over the frozen Neva in
front Of the winter palace, where EN-
peror Nicholas and every member Of
the RomanoR family were participat-
ing in the service.
The missiles went high. entering the
windows Of the splendid row Of salons
along the water front, from which the
empress, the ladies Of the court and
the members of the diplomatic corps,
inclu ling Ambassador Mccormick,
Secretary Eddy and Second Secretary
Bliss, and all the high dignitaries of
the state, army and navy were witness.
ing the glittering spectacle below.
1t 10 stated in official circles that
tie grape was fred from one of the
guns Of the Seventeenth battery Of the
first horse artillery Of the guard. the
most aristocratio corps In the Russian
army. 1t Is believed that at the gun
practice Tuesday loaded she'll was
inadvertently left In the gun. The
ocffiial account Of the affair calls it
an accident. but there are many who
believe that 1t was an attempt to take
the lives Of as many Of the RomsnoR
family. including the car, as possib BILE.
and at the same time to strike terror to
the hearts Of all high In authority. An
investigation 10 in progress.

REPTILES or Pennsylvania.

Rattlesnakes and Copperheads Are
COmmOn-Lattc More Dangerous.
The mountain regions Of Pennsylva.
mia are the natural haunts Of the rattle.
snake. says the Philadelphia North
American. and almost everyone who
has been with any great frequency in
the wilder localities has seen this
dreaded reptile lying coiled and silent
until disturbed by the approach Of an
intruder. Usually the warning whir
from the rattle OF the snake puts the
nearer on his guard. and he gets away
without injury.
Comparatively few persons are bit
ten by the rattlesnake. and the ones
who are bitten seldom suffer fatal re-
suits
Bites by the copperhead are Of more
frequent occurrence, both for the rea-
son that these snakes are more numer-
Gus In settled communities and be-
cause It strikes without warning.
The Pennsylvania copperhead IL one
Of the biggest Of his species, sometimes
growing to the length Of three feet.
He 10 also one of the most fretful. at.

Although found most frequently In the
hills, he often takes refuge In dead
grass. which 10 nearly the same color

pie often tramp on him and the nearly

As rule. all snakes try to get away
from man as quickly as they can. e.
pecially the big blacksnake. Tho lat.
ter. however, when cornered or held

| ciously as any rnttler.
While the eggs Of snakes and turtles
agree in being leathery and light In
color. they differ In the fact that turtle
eggs are nearly spherical. while snake
eggs are elongated or oval.
1t Is the common belief that the 1T.
tie. smooth-skinned creatures found In
the water and beneath stones and logs
are lizards. but this II not true.
The genuine lizard lives In dry
places and has scales on Its body. while
the more common reptile that 10 erro-
neously called a lizard IL a salamander.
Of which there are several species.
Some OF these have tall ans and al
ways live In water Others do not
have the tail Ans. and leave the water
when they complete their metamor-
phosis.
Pennsylvania salamanders belong to
the class OF amphlbians. or animals
that live during parts Of their lives In
water. They always undergo meta
morphosis, have no scales and are
common; while lizards always have
scales. do not live In water, and are

Hay Sent Out Another Note Regard.
ING China'S integrity.

based on this information, with the
result that they have all now positive

In long cablegram received at the
state department from the American
embassy at Paris the French govern.

the answers from all the powers to
Secretary Hays latest note.
The American government was
prompted to take this action by certain
reports from its embassies and lega.
tions abroad, that the powers were ex.
pecting to divide up China after the
war, among themselves. The inquiry
Of Secretary Hay has hecked whatever
scheme there was on foot and the pow.
