clerks in the employ of the govern
ment in various parts of Japan is
fifty cents a day, This is quite a con-
trast to the fat jobs our political ms
hand around among their friends.
RAILROAD SERVICE IS POOR
The railroad employees are as poor
~ paid as those of the government
and private concerns. The station
master in Yokohama. who has several
hundred people under him, receives
but thirty dollars a month. OF course
he has a family and has to pay rent
and employ staff of servants out of
this small salary. The engineers,
conductors. trainmen, station employ
ees and others who are under him,
average about fifteen dollars per
month. AS may be surmised the rail-
way service is nothing to brag about.
1t is eighteen miles from Yokohama to
Toxic and it takes an hour to make
the trip-longer than it requires to go
from Washington to Baltimore, a dis
lance of forty miles. The tariff is
three cents a mile and the accommo-
dations are not nearly so good as on
our street cars
The wages for skilled labor in man.
ufactures does not vary from the gen
eral cheapness prevailing in other
branches of industry. A china decor
ator is paid but thirty cents for ten
hours work. During this time he sits
on his legs in tailor fashion and
draws the most delicate designs. He
is an artist and can execute his own
patterns yet one of our street urchins
with a nimble pair of legs and good
lung power can earn more in an hour
selling papers. In a brewery l saw
score of girls FASTING labels on bot
ties. They performed their task with
amazing dexterity and dispatch. but
their pay was only seven cents for ten
hours-not enough to keep one of our
factory girls in chewing gum. There
are thousands of girls in Japan work
ing for three or four cents a day.
MERCHANTS HAVE SMALL
STOCKS.
The men who rely upon Individual
effort to make a living, such as mer
chants. peddlers and vendors have to
get along on a scant margin Of profit.
The average store is about twelve feet
square. The proprietor has such
liz lied stock that his customer can
point to any article in the place. AS
rule the merchants family live in the
rear, and the store is utilized as
room when the blinds are put
up at night. Show cases and counters
are used in some places but as a gen.
eral thing the customer sits on a small
elevation in the front part of the shop
and boys bring the goods forward for
exhibition while the proprietor extols
their merits. Many dealers cannot af-t
ford to paw even the smallest rent, and

ALL LABOR IS CHEAP.
The low scale of wages is not con-
fined to common workmen. The high
est priced Iaborers in Japan are the
stone-masons and shoe-makers, the
best of whom receive a dollar a day
The scale for printers and leather
workers is fifty cents a day. while
painter will command sixty cents. The
foreman of the electric light plant in
okohama-remember that this is
city of $4,000 nhabitants-receives only
forty-fve cents a day for his skille
services. He is an educated electrician
but his salary is lower than that of the
ordinary American Office boy. The scale
of wages is higher in Yokohama than
in other parts of the Empire because
the foreign firms here will pay more for
competent help than the native COR
Germs. If there is a bright young man
in the post office, or some other de
partment of the government service. it
is not long until some foreigner gets
him by offering an advance.
The government has thus been grad
ually forced to raise it's scale IN order
to keep the most desirable employees
in it's service. The policemen are
furnished with uniforms and paid
thirty cents a day. The clothes they
wear on duty are the best they have
ever worn, or will ever wear if they
quit their jobs. Book-keepers and ac-
countants for private native firms are
paid about thirty cents a day. with

even tobacco thrown in. Seeing that

Canal Bond Bill Reported by Senate
Committee.

Committee.
Washington, Dec. 15.-In the senate
Mr.. Aldrich reported from the commit
tee on finance a substitute for the Tel
ler Panama canal bond bill. In pre-
senting the report he said that the
bill has the effect of giving the per
cent canal bonds the same privileges
and rights accorded to other per
cent bonds and asked for its imme-
date consideration. Mr.. Pettus at
frst objected to present consideration,
but a few minutes later withdrew his
objection and the bill passed without
debate.
Mr.. Elkins asked and obtained the
consent of the senate to make verbal
report from the committee on inter
state commerce concerning the prog
ress of the committees investigation
Of the railroad rate question. He said
that the committee had found it I'M
possible to report bill after the
convening of congress as directed by
the resolution ordering the inquiry.
"We cannot report at present" he
said, "but am justified in saying that
It is the belief of the members that
later the committee will be able to
present a measure" He added that
the committee had been In session
from April to June and again since
Nov. 20 last and was giving all the
time possible to the question.

TsLL STORIES OF MASSACRE.
Number OF Russian Refugees Arrive
at Boston.


Boston, Dec. 15.-Fo-ty-three Rus
sian refugees were brought here dur.
ing the day by the Cunard liner Iver-
MIA, which arrived from Liverpool.
Among them were included men, wo-
men and children Ind they came from
Riga, Wilma, Kieff, odessa and Kovno.
All had escaped by various methods
after having fed from their homes on
account of disturbances there.
Two men, Ephraim Groistascher, a
butcher, and Joseph Dubovsky, a wood
carver, both Of Odessa, seemed to be
leaders of the refugees. They had left
that city at the time of the disturb
ances attending the PRONUNCIATION of
the emperor's manifesto In October.
They described the scenes at Odessa
as those of a general butchery, In
which police, Cosss cks and rabble
participated on t.N one hand and
Jews and Christians, who were called
upon to defend themselves, on the
other. The fury Of the mob did not
seem to be directed wholly against the
Jews, but many of that faith became
victims, while Christians and students,
who were in many cases neighbors and
friends OF the Jews, assisted In de-
Tending them and we're killed. The
refugees estimate that the victims
numbered 10000 during the week fol-
lowing the Tuesday nearest our Nov. 1.
In the midst of the disturbances
Russian gunboats fired upon the city,
apparently for the purpose Of intimi-
dating the insurrectionists, and con-
siderable damage resulted.

HOUSE DEvcTEs DAY TO FIGHT
FOR CONTROL or INSURANCE
LEGISLATION.
AUTHORITY OF CONGRESS- QUESTIONED
PAYNE OF NEW YORK INSISTS IN
sURANcE is NOT INTERSTATE
COMMERCE.

Washington, Dec. 15.-The contest
between the ways and means commit
tee and the interstate and foreign
commerce committee for control OF
insurance legislation was continued in
the house during the day. Mr.. Payne
took the floor to show that the power
to tax was the only way in which con-
gress could get control over insurance
and the ways and means committee
had jurisdiction over the taxing power.
A review of judicial opinions was
made by Mr.. Payne to substantiate his
position that insurance was not inter-
state commerce. He contended that In
the face of the unanimous opinion OF
the supreme court the only legislation
touching insurance that would be held
to be good would be to tax it.
Mr.. Mann tIll) sought by question
ing Mr.. Payne to ascertain just how
insurance companies could be reached
through the taxing powers, but Mr..
Payne refused to throw light on this
point He said he could not form an
insurance bill offhand.
Mr.. Mann said he saw great diff
Guilty In regulating insurance through
the taxing power, but he did believe
regulation might be secured under the
commerce clause of the Constitution.
Regulation through prohibiting mail
facilities to insurance companies which
did not comply with prescribed regu-
lation was suggested by Mr.. Davis
Mimi.
AS precedent for the future Mr..
Hepburn said he saw great impor-
tance in the manner in which the
question should be decided. BY adopt
ing the resolution regarding reference,
taken with the statement of Mr.. Payne
that the taxing power was the only
Jurisdiction over insurance, Mr.. Hep
burn said the house would be simply
proclaiming it's lack of jurisdiction.
Particularly was this SO when, as he
said, he had been informed the major
ity of the ways and means committee
agreed with it's chairman.
The debate took general character,
Mr.. Lacey (la), Littlefield (Meo.

and Faller GILL; taking part.
The subject was still under discus
sion when the house adjourned for the
