WRIGHT FOR TOKYO"
Governor of Philippines First
 Ambassador to Japan.
JUDGE IDE TO SUCCEED HIM AT MANILA
He Had Indicated His Desire to Leave the Island Coionies--Mika- dos Government Accepts His
 Nomination.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.--Luke F.. Wright, Philippines governor general, was named by the president as the first American ambassador to Japan. In accepting the new appointment Gov ern0r General Wright sacrifices 5000 year in compensation. It is believed that congress will accept the recom- mendation of Secretary Root, that in connection with the elevation of the American legation at Tokyo to the of the incumbent be raised from $12,- GOO to $17,5O0, but as Governor Gen eral Wright's present salary is $20.5O0 he will still be suffering a considerable financial loss.
 Mir. Wright married the daughter of Admiral Raphael Semmes of the Con federate navy. He had three sons in active service during the Spanish war.
 The following announcement was made at the war department:
 Judge Ide. now vice governor of the Philippine Islands. has asked to be re- lieved from further duty on the 1st of June next, after six years of faithful and efficient service as commissioner and vice governor in these islands. The president considers that he is entitled to the dignity and honor of the govern or generalship during that period. Up on Governor Ide's retirement General James F. Smith, now a member of the commission and former justice of the Philippine supreme court. will succeed him, and General Smiths name will be sent to the senate after the confirma- tion of Governor Ide"
 It is reported that the Japanese gov ernment has indicated it's willingness to accept General Wright as ambassa- dor. and his appointment to the new post shortly will go to the senate. : There are rumors that Japan has made some overtures to the American government that the mikado would like to discuss the possibility of securing the Philippines, for a substantial re- muneration, as part of the mlkado's plan to become the dominating world power in the orient.
 How this idea will be received by the American people it is open to indi- vidual opinion to determine It may develop that this idea will not be ac- ceptable or popular.
 When the fact is considered that the United States paid s2O.O0000O to Spain for the Philippines it is not reasonable to suppose that the administration in- tends to dispose of them without some very substantial recompense.

FAMINE IN JAPAN.
Government Would Welcome Aid
 From America.


 From America.
 WASHINGTON. Jan. 20.-According to information received at the Japanese embassy here. the northern provinces of Japan are suffering from severe famine which only the quickest relief will be able to check The information shows that the rice crop this year has been about 15 per cent of the average crop and that q famine has broken out in the three northern provinces of Flu kushima, Miyagi and Iwate. which have altogether population of about 2,100.0O0. Many of these are engaged in the silk trade and the failure of the silk crop has augmented the general suffering
 In answer to an inquiry made by private parties in this country whether any help from a foreign country would be accepted. the Japanese government has sent cablegram to the charge d'affaires in this city saying that such help would be very welcome at this moment.

 Harry Corson Clarke, refecting up- on the passing of Christmas. unused audibly thus to an accompaniment of runbling car wheels en route:
 The true Christian spirit'-I won der how many of us feel itg Is it more blessed to give than to receive:"
 This recalls q story.
 '.I was in small western town. Il started for the theater rather disgust cd with a f;ite that had imposed sey- eral weeks of One-night stands upon me. At the stage door stood two little urchns hand in hand, one about seven. the little brother probably five. Their faces were dirty and their clothes several sizes too large for them. The elder approached me, still holding the little fellows hand.
 Please, mister.' spoke manly little voice. can I take my brother in to see the prettiesT .--s --.
 ''The pretties,' Can you imagine it? The dirty stage of a one-night stand theater in the middle west,
 .'Take your brother around to the front of the house and see the play" replied. ..
 But I've only got one ticket" ex- plained the little chap. T pe1dled bills and got ticket for it but I couldn't get one for my brother"
 ..I think I can arrange it." I said. Has you brother even been to the theater?
 Before the elder could answer the little chap replied Yes with great pride.
 His brother looked at him pityingly.
 No. you aint been to a theatef, Bud. That was a merry -go-around.
 Il gradually drew their story from then-a story as old as the hills: father who drank, three younger child ren and mother who took in wash ing or went out by the day to scrub. On the day that she was obliged 10 go out to scrub my little friend took care of the children and cooked their frugal meals. I proposed to give the family box party. but the mother was not well and the rest of the child ren were in bed: so my little friends occupied box by themselves. with huge box of candy and another Of pop corn to keep them company. The aristocrats of the one-night stand cast many admiring glances at my box party that night. When the play was over I sent to the business manager to bring my guests upon the stage asked them whether they liked the play. The elder thanked me and shook my hand but the precious baby said not word. He put his arms around my neck and nestllng his dirty little face close to mine sighed his thanks and his contentment. It was that baby on that Christmas night who taught me the lesson that it is who taught me the lesson that it is more blessed to give than to receive
