AFTER TOURIST TRAVEL.
There Is Talk In Tokyo OF an inter
national EXPOSITION.

Ottawa, Ont, OCT. 9.-The Cana
dian commercial agent at Yokohama,
Japan, reports to the department of
trade aud commerce of the federal gov.
eminent here that it is considered that
the war has served as the best adver.
tisement to the world for the Mikado'e
kingdom, and that with peace now re-
stored, Japan, as tourist rendezvous,
will be henceforth an unrivalied coun.
try.
1t Is suggested that Japan should
take advantage Of the present opportu.
nifty and promote an International ex.
hibition at Tokyo as special induce
ment to popular travel. This scheme,
the agent says, is still in embryo. The
number Of tourists fell off heavily on
account Of the war, but has been re.
vived since the destruction of the Rus.
sian fleet. The business interests of
the country find considerable source
of revenue in the tourist traffic and,
naturally, the japanese endeavor to
maintain it.
There is in Tokyo an association
known as the Welcome Society,"" I'M.
Ter the patronage and direction of
leading citizens, organized mainly to
make tourist traffic easy and give value
for money.

Chicago, Oct. 9.-The Great North

sions to be made at once from the main
branch lines to the international boun-
Diary. This is taken to mean that
James ]. Hill is preparing for an act.
i've invasion Of the rich Canadian
provinces north Of his lines in North
Dakota. Montana and Washington.
A glance at the map shows that Hill
already has at lesat eight lines Of rail.

besides those which have invaded Can.
adian soil. Until recently, however,
it has been supposed that there was an
agreement between him and the Cana
dian Pacific. Four extensions lie in
North Dakota, the first from Edmore
to Sarles. The Thorne extension will
run from York for 40 miles to Thorne
The Max Bass extension will run from
Towner to Max-Bass, As miles. The

RUSSIA and ENGLAND TO
DISCUSS AFGHANISTAN,

London, OCT. 9.-The negotiations
respecting theil spheres of influence in
Afghanistan pending between Great
Britain and Russia when the Russo
Japanese war broke out will be re.
sumed should Russia be willing, of
which there seems to be no doubt. The
British government is anxious that
questions which caused uneasiness in
the past should again be tie subject of
friendly discussions. Great Britain
has already taken steps to this end.
An official Of the foreign Office in.
formed the Associated Press that it was
rather premature to speak of the nego.
tiations, bat he intimated that the gov.
eminent had taken the initiative in
looking to resumption of the ex-
change of views.
The government has always hoped,
the official added, that the negotiations
would be resumed and realized that
the present was the most opportune
time, as the peoples of the two coun-
tries recognized that it was to their
best interests and Of mutual benefit
that the questions in dispute be ami
oably settled.

WARRANTS FOR MANY
CAPTAINS and MATES

Seattle, Dot. 9.-United States Dis.
trict Attorney Frye's Office is arrang-
ing evidence, gathered for the govern
ment by the secret service officers Of
this district, which before the work is
all completed will result in the issu-
ance of warrants for 143 captains and
mates of Sound and ocean going YES.
sells, charged with criminally violating
the naturalization laws.
In the lise of alleged offenders are
some Of the best known ooastwise and
ocean steamship captains and mates in
Seattle, Tacoma and coast ports. Only
very few are now within the juris-
diction of service, but as soon as they
touch on the coast or other American
port they will be taken into custody.
The government authorities blame
the Northern Pacific Steamship com.
pany to large extent for the condi-
tions in Puget Sound naturalization
frauds. 1t is claimed that when the
Northern Pacific Steamship company
took over the Victoria, Tacoma and
other steamships they were short Of
officers and they could not be procured.
Then it was, the government claims,
that men who more than five years be.
fore had taken out their first papers
and who afterwards had continued to
remain on British or German ships
were informed that il they would take
out their second papers so that they
could secure American licenses they
would be given good berths. On this
showing, it is claimed, several officers
Of we'll known boats took oath THAT
they had been il the United States or
on United States vessels since taking
out their first papers and were given
their second, on which licenses were
issued.
1t is also claimed that several per.
sons named in the list had their papers
and licenses taken from them at San
Francisco and Immediately came here,
where they swore out their naturaliza.
ton papers and on these secured new
Licenses.
The local officers in their investiga.
tiops have been working in connection
with the San Francisco officers, aud it
is claimed that forty nine names of
steamship officers who lost their
licenses in San Francisco are on the
Seattle list.
1t is stated further that so far as the
Investigation has progressed it has
been shown that the naturalization
frauds in Puget Sound ports have been
greater than at San Francisco or any
other part of the country.

Tariff Revision Advocated.


On the subject of the tariff the plst.
form says:
1--WE believe that the policy of pro.
lection to American labor and Ameri.
can industry should be maintained.
The Republican party of Massao husetta
reaffirms its devotion to the principle
of protection. and is opposed to tariff
changes tending to depress or destroy
any of our industries or to lower the
wages of American labor.
"But we realize the fact as declared
by the national Republican convention
at Chicago that rates should be changed
when conditions have so changed that
the public interests demand the altera.
ton of schedules. The time at which
revision Of the tariff should be under.
taken must be determined by the rep.
resentatives Of the party from all parts
Of the country.
"We approve the position taken by
our senators and representatives at the
last session Of congress in favor Of
present action, and we urge that they
should continue to press upon thei,
party associates in congress from 9th
or states thew isdom Of consideration
Of the tariff for the purpose of revision
and readjustment."

TALKS ON Dishonesty

Annapolis, Md, Oct. 9.-Dishonesty
in high places in tho state, the judici-
airy and great financial institutions and
corporations and palliation of such
acts oy the masses gravely threaten
the future Of the country, according to
views expressed by ]. Edward Sim.
mons, president Of the Fourth Nation
al Bank of New York, in an address
before the Maryland Bankers Associ.
alton.
He pointed to the lessons taught by
the fall Of the ancient Roman repub-
lie, the reign Of terror in France and
the disasters which befell Russian arms
in the recent conflict in the far East,
all Of which, be said, were due to pal
lated dishonesty.

ing tones and deploring the universal
spread of selfishness in its meanest and
most repulsive form-the form of dis.
honesty. They bewail one universal
carnival of dishonesty. Alas, the
voices are not unconfirmed.
Contrasts Two Classes.
He called upon the members of the
association to give their assistance in
remedying condition which makes it
possible "for men, who pose as the
salt Of the earth and who condemn,
without reserve, those who steal fifty
dollars or forge check for a hundred
dollars. or accept bride, who them
selves make millions by misrepresen-
tation, by fraud and by bribery"
without receiving punishment or crit.

Mr.. Simmons believed, however,
that the situation was not without

has awakened to the conditions and
that fearless and able men are organic.

THE CHAu1AuQUA.

The chautauqua is an institution Of
comparatively recent origin, in its modern
form. In its general purpose it may be
instrumental in accomplishing much good
to the community, in promoting intellec-
tual culture and broadening the sympalh
ies of the people.
Our first acquaintance with this institu
fion dates a few years back. We lr--
cali the bills which were sent out to ad-
yertise the meeting. Upon them there
were such names as Rev. T. Talmage.
Russell Conway Gen. John B. Gordon
Col. Balm, Booker I. Washington, BisA-
OPP Mcintyre. and the lurid Sam Jones
Some of these persons have since then
passed on to their reward; some are sull
in demand on the platform.
There is a tendency at present to make
the courses lean toward the sensational
and startling, rather than TO keep them
in lines of intellectual and moral develop
ment, which is to be deplored.

SID GREEN'S LETTER.

In another column we publish. through

The letter is pitiful one. How much
of it is genuine and how much, if any, is
hypocrisy we must leave it to our readers

fraud. The defaulter. the Bigelow, the
Green, seldom starts On his career with
the thought and purpose to make way
with funds intrusted 10 his care 1t US
ually comes from the temptation first to
make more money out Of funds entrusted

ordinary channels of conservative business.
Second when these plans fail, when loss

desperate as the losses grow more irretri-
