JAPAN is CAUTIOUS.
Find 1t Less Trouble and Cheaper to
Get Money at Home.

London, October 25.-Mr Takahra, the
special financial agent of the Japanese
government, in an interview today on the
internal finances of Japanese and the
situation regarding foreign capital there
said:
1.-THE keynote of our people in the mat
ter of finance is caution. We are not
going to repeat the mistake we made
after the China-Japanese war of EN-
barking upon fresh undertakings involv-
ing large capital thoughtlessly or care
lessy. Our main object is rather to con-
solidate and amalgamate existing in
terests. than to embark upon fresh ven
lures.
zone of the drawbacks is the presence
in Japan of many so-called syndicates,
or capitalists who soon prove themselves
to be neither the one nor the other, but
merely contract seekers anxious to get
their commission. The present bank rate
in New York and London, and on the
continent, is so high that the Japanese
find it less trouble and cheaper to get
their money at home"

HOT FIGHT MADE ON
EDUCATION BILL
THE QUESTION I'M ENGLAND is
WHETHER DENOMINATION RE.
LIGIoUs INSTRUCTION SHALL
BE GIVEN IN THE SCHOOLS.

London, October 25.-The crucial test OF
the educational bill was reached today
when the measure came before the house
of lords for detailed debate. Unless the
peers should elect, after a preliminary
skirmish to postpone consideration of the
bill until a judicial decision is rendered
on the question of the liability of local
educational bodies for the expenses of re-
ligious education. the upper house is
likely to be the scene for some time to
come of the bitterest Legislative fight wit
messed in parliament in recent years.
The bill brlstles with contentious points,
but the main issue centers on the clauses
relating to religious instruction. The lib-
erals are pledged that there shall be no
UNCONVENTIONAL teaching al the public ex-
pense, while the unionsts. under the
leadership of great church dignitaries,
both Church of England and Catholic
are outwardly as unalterably determined
to so amend the bill that children of
parents belonging to these churches shall
have UNCONVENTIONAL religious instruction
during school hours. The general belief
is that the controversy will ultimately
end in some sort of a compromise The
debate is expected to last three weeks.

HAVE SKYSCRAPER
Gay Property Finally Acquired
By New Interests
WILL BE TEN STORIES HIGH
Capitalists Believe That Many General
Agencies viii Be Attracted to the
City If Ample Office Facili-
ties Are Offered.
WILL BE TEN STORIES HIGH


Montgomery, October 25.-(Special. THE
sale of the Gay property at the corner
of Commerce and Bibb streets, has been
confirmed by the chancery court and
Montgomery is to have a ten-story steel
structure of the latest modern design
as result. 1t is understood that this ac-
ton by the court was the only thing
that stood in the way of begging the
preliminary work for such a structure.
w. NJ. league and sons bought the prop
erty some weeks ago at a sale ordered
in friendly way to clear up some of
the titles.
The lot is s0x12O, fronting so feet on
Commerce and running back 120 feet on
Bibb street. A half interest in it had
been owned by the Gay family for many
years. league and sons secured the other
half some time ago from Thomas David
son. who came into possession from the
Hardie estate. 1t is about the center of
mercantile and trading district of the city
and near the large wholesale district 1t
will be ideal as a location the depot
being near on one side, and the center of
the city on the other.
1t is the purpose of the league family
to organize company with capital of
$4,000 to secure money for the structure.
and issue an additional 100000 of bonds
to cover the cost of the lot. The build
ing will be of steel or reinforced con-
crete and will be S0x11O feet, leaving
ten foot area at the back. so that it
will have three we'll lighted and well ven
tilated sides.

Bank for Lower Floor,

The idea is to have the building erected
with the ground floor fitted for a bank,
either In whole or in part. and if in part,
the balance for stores. The banking
rooms will be made the most convenient
in the south. 1t is not known which one
of the local banks will move into it; in
fact. 1t IS understood that neither have
indicated intention to do so. However,
they will have chance at it. The other
stories are to be the most up to date
offices, fitted with every convenience.
1t is expected that the erection of this
building will be the means of drawing
many new business to the city Many
agencies and implement manufacturers
will come here to get the advantage of
the low rates Of freight given by the
river and to get In touch with the great
farming belt lying out in every direction.
1t Is also fact that the city has the
best railroad facilities to be had which
will make 1t one of the best places for
any enterprise or agency.
The friends of the city will hear with
pleasure that an office building such as
is needed Is a thing of only a short time.
1t will take eighteen months to put it
up, it Is estimated.
