There are two ways of looking st the situation before congress which opened to-day. one Is that there will he q whole lot of leg islation and the other that there won't he. The chances are that the second view is the more likely. This Is the short session. There are all of the biz appropriation bills carrying mil Hons of dollars worth of money. and all of them urgently fin need of being passed to keep the wheels of govern ment from stopping. As general rule congress In a short session thinks itself lucky if it can got the appTo- pr,ation bills out of the way without bothering over other legislation. This year there is more than the usual amount of things which might he. but probably will not be done. Part of this is left over legislation from the preyious congress. There is the ship subsidy bill. which was sent to the house and never taken out of com m,ttee. On the other side there was the Philippine tariff bill. which after being mutiIated in A ghastly way. was sent to the senate snd killed in committee with the tiea that it never rouh he taken out This year there is an urgent call on the part of the administration for ship subsidy leg islstion and if any things gre ,onsisI- cred outside of the appropristi,a bills. these two subjects would spissrentiy stand the best chance.

EVILS or MODERN LIFE.
Harm Done by Hurry and Worry Of
 Our Modern Civilization.

Not long ago, while travelling, l chanced to stop at village on the river Rhine, where found an aston ishing number of old people. There were dozen over one hundred years age, and many from 80 years old up to the century mark; yet straight and vigorous. One woman nearly . hun dred years old was earning her living by picking hops; her grandchildren were middle-aged. It was quite won derful. But there was no mystery about 1t; it was merely the effect of . simple life spent largely in the fields. with plain diet, consisting of . few vegetables and fruits, little meat. and native beer and wine for beverages.
 Nothing can be more obvious than that the very complexity of our mod. ern civilization is shortening our lives. But of all the evils that afflict us the worst and most destructive arc hurry and worry. Hurry drives the body machine beyond its capacity. while worry racks 1t inwardly. Of the two worry is probably the worse. This might. indeed. be called the age Of worry. Because of the intense nerv. ous strain to which we arc subjected, we do vastly more worrying than did our forebears. The average man of to day is continually surrounded and pursued by phantom troubles. which, though few of them ever materialize into realities, haunt him continually. ruining his peace of mind and injur' ing his health.-Dr. John V. Shoe maker in the Reader.

In connection with the renewed war talk agent the Japanese situation in San Francisco, the report of Rear Admiral Converse. chief of the bu-
 reau of navigation in the navy de- partment, is quite interesting. Ad- miral Converse stands for big and efficient navy, and his report. with very little disguise, points toward the possibility of a future war with Ja- pan. He points out the necessity of having power feet distributed on
 both the Atlantic and Pacific coasts, pending the completion of the Pana- ma canal, which will make the chang ing of warships from one side to the other of the continent comparatively easy. His plan for the Pacific squad ron is interesting. He would include in the Asiatic fleet IS warships, from the big battleships of the Maryland and West Virginia type down to the little gunboats of the Wilmington type, together with the antiquated monitors. Monterey and Monednock, now on duty in the Philippines. Be- sides these. he provides for fiotilla of six high class torpedo boats. In ad- dition to the squadron for service in Asiatic waters. his plan provides for a fleet of equal strength with an even larger torpedo f1otilla on duty on the Pacific coast These two fleets in time of war. he says, would naturally be under the flag of one admiral. This plan will in sll proba- bllity be carried out and the country will be put in a position to face event. ualities should the Japanese trouble really come to head. hut it is hard ly thought possible that Japan will seek an actual fight over 30 small a matter as the Pacific coast school problem. though there is little doubt in the minds of many people that she has an eventual eye ou the Philip hines.

died. In case the remedy should not be supplied. the president will direct the attorney general to bring pro ceedings against the state of Cali- fornia to test the constitutionality of the law under which Japanese stu dents are excluded from the schools. It is regarded as likely that the lat ter course will have to be adopted.
 It is pretty certain that the whole question of the coming of Japanese to this country will be precipitated in congress. perhaps at this session. Representative Hayes, of San Fran cisco, has indicated his intention to introduce a measure on the subject and the immigration authorities all ready are investigating 1t. No doubt exists that the matter is fraught with serious danger.

One of the most notable figures in Maryland politics passed out of view last week. He was General Victor l.. Boughman, next to the late Senator German, one of the most influential of the older democratic politicians in the state. He had served in the con federate army and after the war came back to his native town of Fred erick to take the management of a local paper. He was very wealthy man, lover and breeder of fine horses, and through his association with Senator German became very influential figure in state politics. He was q son-in-law of the late X. $. Abell proprietor of the Baltimore Sun. His death removes very notable figure in state politics and one known also the whole country over.

! UP TO THE PRESIDENT.
The Japanese Situation in San Fran.
 cisco Will Be Troublesome.

Washington, D. G., Dec. 3.-Presi- dent Roosevelt is confronted by a serious proposition in dealing with the anti-Japanese sentiment in San Francisco and, generally, on the Pacific coast. Were 1t not for the notably cordial relations which ex- ist between Japan and the American government, unfortunate results might grow out of the attitude of the west coast people toward the Japanese. Even in the present cir cumstances, elements of danger are not lacking, for the Japanese regard with marked disfayor the position assumed by the San Franciscans to- ward their people.
 At the instance of the president, Secretary Metcalf, of the department of commerce and labor, himself a Californian, visited San Francisco, with the double purpose of ascertain ing the precise facts regarding the anti-Japanese movement and, if pos sible, to induce the people of that city to recede their position. While he did ascertain the facts, he did not succeed in changing the opinion of the residents of San Francisco. He has presented a report to President Roosevelt which in no respect tends to a solution of the problem. It in- dicates, in fact, that the people of San Francisco resent any interfer- ence of the federal government in the matter and that they will resist bitterly any effort that may be made by the national administration to force them to receive the Japanese in their schools.
 Two knotty problems enter into the matter, race prejudice and or ganized labor. The feeling of the people of the Pacific coast toward the Japanese is very like that of the people of the south toward the negro. They do not want to have them in their schools as associates of their children, particularly as most of the Japanese students who apply for ad- mission to the schools are grown men and women. Objection to the Japanese also is made by the labor unions. because they are disposed to work for wage far below that which American laborers demand and are receiving. How soon the president will announce the course to be pursued by this government in the matter is not known, but 1t is quite certain that no nasty action will be taken.
 Secretary Root, as the premier of the administration, has assured the Japanese government that the United States will not for moment enter tain the idea of any treatment to- ward the japanese people other than that accorded to the people of the most friendly European nation. That sentiment. incorporated in an official dispatch to Tokio government, seems to commit the American government to definite course in support of the Japanese wishes.
 The Japanese themselves have abandoned their suit against the city of San Francisco by advice of the Japanese ambassador, and they will depend upon the American govern ment to handle the question to their satisfaction. If the president should feel that the JaDanese are denied their treaty rights under the Cali fornia law. the secretary of state will call the attention of the governor of California to the violation of the treaty and request that it be reme-

Secretary Taft has now concluded the hearings at the war department of the several interests that want to take water power from Niagara Falls. The matter has been closed so far as the army engineers are concerned, and it is now up to the state depart ment, which must make some ar engagements with Canada. for the di- vision of the 157,O0O horse power which it is estimated can be drawn from the falls without disturbing their scenic beauty.

CHURCHES LOSING GROUND.
Because They Are Ont of Touch with

Because They Are Ont of Touch with
the Masses of the Paople.
After stating that the drift at the
present time is from the church, Rev.
Bruce Brown of Chicago gives as
reason that the churches are not doing
their duty. They are out Of touch with
the great mass of people. To-day the
church fulfills only one want of men
end that is the spiritual want. 1t sup
plies not one important ethical or So
cial need, for its place has been
usurped by other organizations, call
them profane organizations, If you
choose.

and every walk of life. l asked them
why they are not church members.

but who, nevertheless, are important

Another Is:

And the third Is:
"The churches are out Of touch with
the times and the needs Of men. They
are unbusiness-like in their methods.
They lay too much emphasis on triflng
differences. The preaching Of to-day
does not awaken any vital response in
the human heart"
1t matters little what the ministers
may think, for when large number Of

such accusations again> the church
there certainly must be some grounds
for them 1t Is no little thing to have
men tell you they find their needs bet
