JAP-CANADIAN FRIENDSHIP.
Dominion Wheat Going to the Far
East-Naval Visit Planned.

OTTAWA. Ont. December 17.-Informa
tion has been received by the government
here from the Japanese naval depart
Katoaka and a squadron of cruisers of
the imperial japanese, navy will visit
Canada in March next. The squadron will
include the cruisers Matsushima Itsu!lu-
shima and Hashidate.
The rear admiral will leave Yokohama
on January next and will proceed first
to Honolulu. From the Hawaiian Islands;
the fleet will proceed to American ports
reaching Vancouver on March 8. While
in Vancouver the officers and men will be
entertained by the Vancouver Japanese
residents, and a visit will also be paid to
Canada's big naval station, Esquimalt.
GRATED for their reception.
This visit of the Japanese fleet is not
without a special significance. Only last
week an accredited envoy of the Japanese
government was in Montreal arranging
with the authorities of the c. p. r. soc
the transportation of wheat grown on the
Canadian prairies to Japan. This is held
to be the opening up of what must ulti-
mately prove one of Canada'S largest and
most profitable markets.
The growing antipathy of the Japanese
to the Americans. aggravated by the re-
cent treatment meted out to Japanese
children in California, has not been with
out Its influence in turning the attention
of both japanese statesmen and mer-
chants afreSh to Canada and in determin-
ing them to leave no stone unturned to
further cement the friendly feeling be-
tween Canada and Japan.

ute to the fairmindedness of President
Roosevelt in religious-matters.
Thank Cod he said, that we in this
country are blessed in having at its head
one who judges US not alone by the reli-
gion hut by the lives We lead and the good
we do. and thus breaks down the barriers
between Jew and Gentle The oppressors
in Europe are shown that a Straus. the
Jew, is placed in one of the highest offices
of the government by the President of the

Previous to the dedication ceremonies the
new building was open for inspection, and
the work of the students exhibited. After
a prayer by the Rev DIR. Bernard Drach-
the keys of the building were presented to
Miss l. Unterberg, president of the Young
Women's Hebrew Association, by Henry ii
Toch, chairman of the building association.
1.-The association" said Mr. Toch, has
a historical development. In 1e54 Peter
Stuyvesant, then governor of New Amster-
dam, refused to allow a noble band of
brothers to land on these shores because
they were Jews. He did so finally when

Italy's capital.
There were both a church and civil mar
riage, the former being performed in the
ancient Church of San Vincenzo whose
congregation Is made up in large part of
the fashionable families living on the slopes
of the Pincian Hill. while the latter cere-
mony took place In what corresponds to the

Provisions of Drafted Bill.
The Secretary of the Navy several
months ago convened board OF six rep
resentative line officers, with the assist
ant secretary of the navy president. to
consider and recommend such changes in
existing law relative to the commissioned
personnel of the line of the navy as would
tend to promote efficiency and economy
The essential recommendations of the
board have been cordially approved by
the Secretary. The bill, herewith trans
mitted to the Congress, has been formu-
lated by the Secretary and is based ex-
cept in a few details upon the recnm-
mendation of the board. / earnestly rec
ommend its early consideration. Should
it be enacted into law it will cause off,
GERS on the sea going list to reach the
grade of captain at forty-eight and rear
admiral at fifty-five, and will assure tleir
serving seven years in the grade of cap
tain and seven years in the grade of rear
admiral. thus enabling them to become
thoroughly skillful and efficient in these
grades.
The accompanying bill also establishes
the grade of vice admiral. This grade has
long existed i'm all other principal navies
of the world in order to obtain selected
grade of skilled commanders-in-chief .
The commander-in-chief of a fleet with
one or more rear admirals serving under
him, is logically entitled to a higher rank
greater authority and responsibility. on
occasions of official Importance. of inter
national council, or of combined naval ac-
tion Gas, for instance, the Boxer trouble
in China). the interests of this great ma
ton demand that our naval representa-
tives shall rank as the equal of the naval
representatives of other powers.
Elimination From High Grade.
Moreover under the accompanying bill,
which is the result of recommends lions
made by board principally composed of
naval officers, large percentage of the
officers are eliminated from the scagoing
list and never reach the grade of rear adj
miraI When 1t is considered that the naval
officers themselves recommend in order to
increase the efficiency of their service. that
many be denied their existing privilege of
reaching flag rank, 1t is only just to them
that we should place their highest officers
on a plane of equal rank with their coll
leagues of other nations, with whom they
are SO frequently brought in official contact.
If the proposed plan of promotion is car
ried out, Ii will. as compared with existing
law, make saving of more-than five mil
lions of dollars during the next seven years.
The principal part of this saving Is made
by stopping the voluntary retirement of
young lieutenant commanders with the
rank and pay of commanders upon the re-
tired list
| am firmly of the opinion that unless
the present condition of the higher COM
rnissioned personnel is rectified by judicious
legislation, the future OF our navy will be
graveiy compromised.

tary of the Navy inclosing duplicate drafts
of the proposed bill. L also forward a copy

few of the more modern, but not most mod
ern cars. which hold but twelve yards of
earth. They can be employed on certain
lines with sharp curves But the recent
cars hold from twenty-five to thirty yards
apiece, and instead of the old clumsy meth
DDS of unloading them, steam pillow is
drawn from end to end Of the whole vest-
bulcd train thus immensely economizing
labor. In the rainy season the steam
shoveIs can do but little in dirt but they
work steadily in rock and in the harder
ground. There were some twenty-five at
work during the time l was on the 18TH
mus, and their tremendous power and eff
ticiency were most impressive.
New Records for Excavation.
AS soon as the type of canal was de-
clded this work began in good earnest.
The rainy season will shortly be over and
then there will be an immense increase
in the amount taken out; but even during
the last three months. in the rainy sea-
son, steady progress IS shown by the fig
ures: In August 242.O0O cubic yards; in
September. 291 900 cubic yards and in Oc-
tober.. 800. 600 cubic yards. In October new
records were estab lished for the output of
individual shovels as well as for the ton
mage haul of individual locomotives. l hope
to see the growth of healthy spirit of
emulation between the different shovel and
grown on our battleships between the diff
erent gun crews in matters of marksman-
ship. Passing through the cut the amount
of new work can be seen at a glance. In
one place the entire side of hill had been
taken out recently by twenty-seven tons
of dynamite, which We're exploded at one
blast. At another place l was given a
presidential salute of twenty-one charges
of dynamite. On the top notch of the Guile
bra cut the prism is now wide 1t will

has now been sunk about 200 feet below
what it originally was. 1t will have to be
sunk about 1870 feet farther Throughout

hauling are going on with constantly in
creasing energy. the huge shOvels being
pressed up, If they mountain
howitzers. into the most unlikely looking
places where they eat their way into the
hilsides.
Railway Improvements.
The most advanced methods, not only in
construction, but in railroad management,
have been applied in the zone, with CORE
spending economies in time and cost. This
has been shown in the handling Of the ton
mage from ships into cars. and from cars
into ships on the Panama railroad, where,
thanks largely to the efficiency of General
Manager Bierd the saving in time and cost
has been noteworthy. My examination
tended to show that some of the depart
ments had doubtless necessarily become
overdeveloped, and could now be reduced
or ,subordinated without impairment of eff
fciency and with a saving of cost. The
chairman of the commission. Mr.. Shonts,
has all matters OF this kind constantly in
view. and is now reorganizing the govern
