Jay Cook, who died in Ogontz, Pa.
Thursday at the age of SO, was formerly
one of the most famous financiers of the
country At the beginning of the civil
war he was a prominent banker and was
asked by Salmon p Chase to aid the
government In raising the fund to carry
on the war He arranged for the loan to
the country of $5O,0OO.OOO for immediate
needs and then as financial agent of the
United States, raised in four years 81, $780,
100000 from the sale of bonds. He lost
a large fortune at the time OF the Franco
Prussian war when he was interested in
constructions of the Northern Pacific rail-
road and several foreign loans were with
drawn. The great financial panic of 1878
was partly due to his failure about that
time. He had since regained his wealth
and had a million dollar home at Ogontz
a suburb of Philadelphia. which he named
after an Indian boy he had known years
before.

them companions very often. Gresham
was sitting in his office one morning,
when Col. Towle walked in and made a

scope nearly stunned the most notable
of cabinet officials. Towle offered to
print for all time all the postage and

throughout the United States, and also
give a bonus of 100000 a year just
for the privilege Of printing an ad

New Version of the Order
Issued in Japan in Regard
to Limiting Immigration
WIVES MUST BE TAKEN
Hawaiian Paper Says Num-
Der Has Been Restricted
to Hundred at a Time

HONOLULU, April 24.-The new or
der of the Japanese Government re-
garding the immigration of Japanese
to these islands from their native land
is said by the Hawaii Shimpo, a local
japanese daily, to be to the effect that
only hundred men can come at a
time and that they must all be accom-
panied by their wives. A hundred
couples are allowed per steamship,
says this authority. It declares that
this policy of the Japanese Government
will result in an increase Of the agita-
tion for Japanese exclusion, as 1t will
indicate policy to populate the Ha-
waiian Islands with Japanese. The
paper adds:
mo plan could have been thought Of
which is more likely to increase the
agitation for exclusion than that of
forcing Japanese to come here in fami-
lies instead of as single laborers."
1t is also set forth that the PROPOSE
ton alleged to have been put into ef-
feet of allowing married couples only
to come to Hawaii will lead to further
demands for increased wages on the
plantations. as the 1aborers, if gener-
ally men of family, will need larger
income. No report has been received
here as far as is known of the order
that wives must come with immigrants
except that published in the Shimpo.
