number of ex-ofticials of the Won

have retired from the field of active

crime was planned.
An unknown man attracted the at

was police detective and dismissed
the matter from his mind. He felt so
safe within the Hall of Mobiles that
even while driving thither he left his

French Priests viii BE Forbidden to

Paris, Dec. 3D. The Associated
Press learns from a high ecclesiastical
source here that it Is certain that the
pope will reject the new religious law
and at an opportune time forbid the
parish priests to continue services in
the churches, after which they will
organize private worship. The in.
iormant of the Associated Press added
that the Vatican can pursue no other
policy. Having declined to retain the
church property under the conditions
laid down by the government 1t can
only logically vindicate its action by
proving to the faithful that they are
the objects of persecution.

CONSIDERABLE FEELING EXISTS
AGAINST THE JAPANESE IN &
THE PACIFIC ISLANDS.
COMMISSIONER SARGENT on SITUATION
JAP LABORERS WORK FOR SMALL
PAY AND MERCHANTS UN-
DERSELL AMERICANS.

Washington, Dec. 25.-Immigration
Commissioner Sargent was at his
lesk during the day after a trip of
several weeks, during which he visited
the immigration stations at Honolulu
and San Francisco. While he was at
Honolulu 1879 Portuguese immigrants
from Funchal and Madeira arrived
there. Commissioner Sargent super
intended their landing and before he
left many Of them already had Sc.
cured employment.
Mr.. Sargent, who went to Honolulu
at the special request of President
Roosevelt to be present at the landing
of Portuguese immigrants, called on
the president later in the day. T.
"There are probably $4,000 Japa.
nese in the Hawaiian islands," said
Mr.. Sargent, "and they are arriving
there at the rate of from 600 to 1000
a month. The new arrivals do not re
main long in the islands, however
and soon go to the Pacific coast. They
are leaving in large numbers by each
steamer. In the last twelve months
$4,000 Japanese have gone from the
Hawaiian islands to the mainland OF
this country" -~.
Mr.. Sargent was asked why the
Japanese first go to Hawaii. He ex.
planned it by saying that as he under.
stood the case the Japanese govern.
ment does not issue passports to the
United States proper, as it is unaware
whether it's citizens could get work
here, but the fact that there is de.
mand for laborers in Hawaii induces
the issue of passports to the islands
Mr.. Sargent admitted there was con
siderable feeling against the Japanese
in many portions of the islands, as
their labor is cheaper and their mer
chants are underselling the American
merchants in the islands and taking
away the trade previously held by the
latter with the Japanese. ~.

GENERAL SLASH IN RATES
MINNESOTA RAILROAD COMMITS
SION ISSUES NEW FREIGHT
SCHEDULE.

st. Paul, Dec. 25-The new com
modify freight rate schedules over
which the railroad and warehouse
commission has been laboring the past
year have been promulgated. They
are effective after Jan. rs.
The cut as made in present rates is
a formidable one and includes every
railroad doing business in Minnesota
A mileage basis is used and the result
is general leveling of rates all over
the state.
Grain, coal, lumber and live stock
are the principal, commodities affected
and in the case of the three first
named commodities the cut is a heavy
! one. Live stock suffers the least. The
average cut for this commodity is
| about 10 per cent.
The biggest cut is on coal and it
represents a cut in the rates volun-
tarily reduced by the three Northern
roads last November. The cut then
did not include the Twin Cities, but
now every section of the state is ben.
&. b. 5-
Gifted.
In grains the schedule shows a
marked cut in some of the former
rates and number of the roads with
exclusive territory to their credit are
! hard hit. This Is especially so In the
southern part of the state. where the
recent voluntary reduction made by
the Northern roads did not apply ex-
/ cept at competitive points.
On lumber the reduction Is equally
great. The cut ranges from to 3
cents per 100 pounds and Is spread
equally over the state. This is as
compared with regular schedules now
in effect, though in some cases where
q special rate prevails the cut is as
much as so per cent.

PRESIDENT OF ECUADOR.
General AIfaro Elected by Decisive
Majority.

: "
Guayaquil, Ecuador, Dec 25.-The
national assembly has formally elect
ed General Eloy Alfaro, the acting
president, to be constitutional pres
ldent for four years. The election of
Alfaro, who received large majority
Of the votes cast, is very popular.
The republic now seems to be thor
oughly pacified and the commercial
outlook now seems very favorable to
the repeal of the import duty on sugar
and the opening of this market to the
sugar refneries of the United States.
General Eloy Alfaro was president
of Ecuador from 1898 to 1901 and has
been a prominent figure in that repub-
lie for about fifty years. In January
last he revolted against President Gar
cia, caused him to flee from the coun-
try and reorganized the government.

these officers, the court will petition
the emperor to commute their SEN
fences to ten years Imprisonment.
-Four other officers are sentenced to
short terms of Imprisonment while the
remainder are acquitted.
Plea Usually Successful. !:
The sentences passed upon Rear Ad.
miral Nebogatoff and the three COM
manders are similar to those handed
down in the cases of the naval officers
who were condemned by courtmartial
for surrendering the torpedo boat de-
strOyer BedOvi to the Japanese. These
sentences were coupled with a similar
recommendation to the emperor for
mercy, and such intercession generally
has proved successful.
The lawyers for the defense in the
Nebogatoff trial, majority of whom
are active politicians, devoted most
of their attention to the political as
poets of the case.
The government prosecutor, in his
closing address, declared that the in.

these circumstances was out of har.

he declared that the guilt of the Off

averred, could at least have transfer

ship and then sunk the rest Of his
squadron. The rear admiral made an
emotional reply in which he dwelt up
on the ignorance of the prosecutor,
who, he said, has worn the uniform of
the navy for only one year.
