NEW AND INDEPENDENT
REPORT ON JAPANESE

Chicago, Dec. 25.-A dispatch to
the Tribune from Washington says:
There is to be a new and indepen-
dent report on the Japanese immigra-
tlon question, and when it is COM
pleted the president will transmit it
to congress with another message,
making the third on this subject
Frank Sargent, commissioner gen
eral of immigration, was at the
white house yesterday and gave the
president summary of his investiga-
tion on the Japanese tide of immigra-
tion into California through Hawaii
As he has but just arrived here and
has not even begun his preparation
of the official report, the commission
er general was unwilling to give an
outline of his conclusions. His re-
port will have a great bearing upon
the settlement of the Japanese diff
Guilty on the Pacific coast, however,
because all of this oriental immigra-
tion now comes from the Hawaiian
islands, and if the flow from Japan to
Honolulu can be stopped, the fear of
California of an inundation of Jap
aneSe will disappear, violation of law
and order will cease, and the nor.
NAL labor conditions on the Pacific
slope will be restored.

Washington, Dec. ga school for
cabinet ministers is the latest inyen-

of course, a place where they go and
SIT with arms folded while pedago-
que lectures them on their duties, but
is none the less a school
The first pupil entered is James
Rudolph Garfield, who on March
will succeed Ethan Allen Hitchcock
as secretary of the interior. Mr.. Gar
field is at present drawing salary as
commissioner of corporations. but he
is only nominally discharging the
duties of that office. BY order of Mr.
Roosevelt, he is going to school, with
Mr.. Hitchcock as his preceptor At
least a part of almost every day he
spends at the interior department,
familiarizing himself with the work
he is to take up. Special attention is
being given to land fraud investiga-
tions and prosecutions, it being the
declared purpose of Mr.. Garfield that
there shall be no diminution of vigor
IN the war on land grabbers.
Other matters of interior admins
tration are being gone into deeply,
and when Mr.. Garfield enters the
cabinet he will have d good working
knowledge of the department over
which he is to preside. In the mean
time, Herbert Knox, deputy commits
siOner of corporations, is qualifying

actual administration of the bureau
already is in his hands, Mr.. Garfield

The heir-apparent is the eldest son.
Mohammed Ali Mira, but the shah
mas the power to leave the crown to
any member of his family. General
~, however, preference is given to a
son whose mother was Kajaf prin-
cess.
The shah was well educated. Be.
sides knowing Arabic and Turkish.
he spoke French fuently and was
well grounded in the philosophy of
Aristotle and Plato.
He was extremely eccentric and
ms courtiers were always on the
alert when he was on a royal tour.
wondering what he would do next.
AT banquet at which the king and
queen OF Italy were present he set
a precedent. whats the use of
staying any place where you are be-
ing bored?' was the way the shah
looked at it, and in the midst of the
dinner he arose from the table. and
without a word left the room. There
was nothing left for the royal pair
to do but TO follow the shah, and the
dinner came to an end.
During a visit To Austria the shah's
train was delayed by reviewing the
crowds at way stations, and the royal
Persian got tired and decided to re-
tire for the night. His disturbed
courtiers reminded him that the en-
peror was awaiting him at Vienna,
where big reception was to be held.
Just telegraph him won't be there
said the shah. And he wasn't.
But he gave the emperor a worse
shock than that. A big hunt had
been arranged for him, but instead of
attending the shah picked up a street
wanderer who amused him with
funny stories. He did not even send
word that he would not be present.
The emperor hunted without his
guest.
More remarkable in an eastern po-
tentate than some of these peculiari-
ties is the fact that he has been inter
ested in the welfare of his people.
Among other things he established
free education and freedom OF the
press.
The shah was hard worker. He
would get up at daybreak, but re-
main in his apartments until
O'Clock, when he would meet his min
listers and converse with them. The
newspapers were next read to him.
lhen came his lunch prepared by
French chef, and his "siesta," or mid
day snooze followed, In the after
noon he would hear detailed reports
from his ministers and enjoy a ride Or
drive through the royal parks. Sup
per wa~ served at o'clock, followed
nv music and Derhaps some kind OF
an entertainment In the gardens, to
wind up the day.
The jewelry of the shah was the
most valuable in the world. He
owned the Darya-e-Nur or Sea of
Light, "A diamond estimated to be the
most precious on earth. One Of his
greatest treasurers was a large gold
globe, representing the world. Each
continent and country is marked out
with clusters of precious stones.
Persia is outlined and covered with
diamonds, England with rubles, and
so on.

Navy and Army Salaries.

In the whirlwind of agitation for
Increased salaries for clerks in the
executive deparement and other gov
ernment employees, the army and navy
officers came near being overlooked.
Senator Dick, of Ohio, finally thought
of them. and has introduced a bill to
readjust salaries in both arms OF the
service.
1t has long been recognized that
army and navy officers should have
more pay. They are compelled to
maintain a certain social standard,
and not only is the social obligation
growing yearly more eXacting but
the cost of living to the army and navy
officer has increased, just as il has
10 everybody else. The hardship is
especially severe in the navy when
warship visits a foreign port. Of
ficers Of other navies AID distinguish
ed civilians must be entertained
aboard, and the cost of such enter
tainments must come out OF the pOck
cts of the ships officers. In prob
ably every other navy in the world,
a fund is set aside for such inter
national courtesies aboard warships
