malicious destruction, for the marsh
rail made no attempt to eat the eggs.
Then she made off, and presently
the mother bittern came back. One
would have expected her to desert
the nest after it had been so violated.
But she was evidently of philo-

"She apparently reasoned thus:
These eggs are destroyed for the pur-

And thereupon she set to and de-

shells out of the nest and cleaned up
a portion of the contents which had
been untidily spilled. She then peace

Eighty-two Hundred Angered by

Toxic, Dec. 4--Eighty-two hundred
Chinese students incensed at the, atti-
tude Of the Chinese minister to Japan
Yang Shu, in the university troubles
have resolved to return to China. Two
thousand have already left this city. A
manifesto issued by these students is
decidedly antagonistic to the Manchu
dynasty.
The differences which exist between
the imperial university and the govern:
ment have apparently been settled by
the acceptance of the resignation of
Kutoba Yuzuru, the minister Of educa,
ton, by Premier Katsura, who will now
take the portfolio Of education. The
fact that no disciplinary measures have
been taken against the professors Of
the university is deemed an avowal of
defeat by the government whose power
is visibly waning.

Washington, Dec. 14.-It is practical

gress has no authority whatever to in
sist upon federal regulation of life in

Scores Of bills providing for federal
regulation have been introduced in the
house. Under ordinary circumstances
they would all go to the committee on
Judiciary because Of the leag questions
involved. 80:
It has been decided by Speaker Can
non and the leaders of 4thesh house gener-
ally that life insurance, as well as fire
insurance, is not in itself branch of
interstate commerce, and hence congress
has no power to regulate it in itself.
Taxation Alone.
The power congress has is solely in re-
gard to taxation and in that regard it
is practically unlimited. Following the
analogy OF the oleomargarin cases, it
has been decided that any attempt by
congress to regulate the business Of life
insurance necessarily must come thru
the taxing power of the national govern.
ment and not thru the power granted to
congress to regulate Interstate com
merce.
AS a result Of this decision the recon.

of the government over the insurance
