GEN. GRosvENoR DECLINES.
Would Not Run for Congress In Dis
trfct Not His Own.

Representative Grosvenor of Ohio. who
was recently defeated for reelection, yes
terday sent the following letter to two
prominent republicans who had made TO
him the novel suggestion that he run for
Congress In a congressional district other
than his own:
MY Dear Sir: have your very compli-
mentary letter. This is a novel PROPOSE
tion-one that appeals to me only as Il may
be construed as a compliment and a fecog-
milton of such service 1 have been able
to perform. Strangely enough / received
a request to run in another congressional
district in the same mail that brought me
your letter.
There is no law In Ohio nor in any of
the states. so far | know, that fixes the
eligibility of a candidate for Congress to a
residence in the district in which he runs.
and it is a very common thing in some OF
the states, notably New York. for congress
men to be elected from districts they do
not reside in; but II has never, SO far as /
know, been done In Ohio and msnifestly
ought not to be done. However efficient
and able a person may be, IT is a reflection
upon the district to elect him to Congress
outside of the confines of his own district.
While / recognize as a friendly sugges-
ton your letter in this behalf, / cannot
for a moment consider the subject ! am
content the situation is, and have no
doubt that in due time and under proper
circumstances the people OF my own dis
trict will express themselves In regard TO
the recent transaction In that locality"

Senator Morgan Declares It Was
Without Legal Authority.

Jacob e. Markell OF Omaha, whose COM
missary contract with the isthmian canal
commission was cancelled, was again be-
fore the Senate committee on interoceanic
canals yesterday afternoon. He repeated
denials previously made that he had had
the benefit of sample menus, prepared In
New York In making his bid for the COM
missary concession.
do you not desire to change your testi-
mony where you say that the men on the
isthmus were fed like hogs, the only diff
ference being that the food was passed out
on tin plates'" asked Mr.. Taliaferro.
The witness said the was willing to let
his statement stand as made on Friday
The witness was not examined concern
ing the list of questions submitted by
Chairman Willard. to which he had pre-
pared replies, which replies were demand
ed by Mr. Taliaferro and surrendered by
Mr.. Markell under protest. The witness
was then excused.
Senator Morgan had put on file, for future
disposition resolution declaring that the
contract with Markell was without legal
authority. and the payment Of $10.715 to
to him did not constitute a proper charge
against the government OF the United
States.
Mr.. Morgan moved TO amend the proceed
ings of the committee on Saturday to per-
NIT the recall OF William Nelson Crom-
well at the instance Of any member OF the
committee after the type of canal and
other legislative matters have been dis
posed of. The committee accepted the sug-
gestion and the proceedings were amended

MR.. NELSON ON STATEHOOD
He Presents Statistics in Support of
the BILL

Mr. Nelson addressed the Senate in sup
port of the joint statehood bill late yes
terday afternoon. He gave many statisti-
cal facts to show that the conditions Justify
the creation of two states as provided for
by the bill. Especial plea for the union
of Arizona and New Mexico was made by
the senator. who contended that the Amerl-
can element in Arizona would do much to
improve conditions favorable to statehood
in New Mexico.
Mr.. Foraker gave notice of an anti
gambling amendment to the part of the
statehood bill providing for the admission
of New Mexico and Arizona as a state. He
said that he would not ask the Senate TO
vote on the provision. but desired TO speak
on 1t.

A Remarkable Testimonial.

The London Times recently contained a
remarkable testimonial TO the honesty of
the japanese people at large. 1t is offered
by the manager of the encyclopedia depart
ment of that paper who says that he was
warned by many friends. in,'..itiing a bishop
or the Church of England, who has lived
In Japan many years. that he could not do
business there. "Of course YOU can sell
any number of encyclopedias to the Japan
ese' his friends told him. but You VIII
never be able to collect the deferred pay
mentS when they have once got the book
NO japanese will pay for an article after il
has been delivered into his possession
IN the face of this advice" says the man
ager or the encyclopedia department of the
London Times. the installment plan Of sa lie
was adopted. and the japanese bought FIVE
times as many sets as were sold in France
ana Germany combined, fifty times as many
as In Russia. and more than IN any other
country except India. Australia and the
United States"
During the past eight years the Times
has sold in every country of the world sets
or encyclopedias on the instalIm plan
giving credit for periods of two three and
four years. The regularity with which such
sums are made is certainly fair test of the
average honesty of any nation. and a much
more severe test In the case of Japan than
In the case of England, because il is more
d1ffcult there than here to enforce paw
ment by legal proceedings. Ninety-five per
cent OF the encyclopedias sold in Japan
dents, and the statements / am about to
make refer exclusively to purchases made
by the Japanese themselves. In Japan as
elsewhere. each purchaser when he signs
his order form, promises to pay on GER
tain dates. certain sums of money In ia
pan the monthly payment was ten yen
equal to about sovereign, while in this
country the amount was a guinea. In
Great Britain less than half the payments
arrived on the day promised. In Japan less
than 1 per cent Of the payments We're even
one day late. and more than one-half of the
payments were made the day before they
were due because the Japanese did not
like to run the risk of any accidental de-
lay that might make them even one day
late.
The cost of collecting these installment
payments In Japan was less than half as
much as in England, simply because the
japanese are SO punctilious that clerical
labor and postage are not expended in re-
mind1ng them that their payments are over
due No one in the Times Office at any
rate. can doubt that the standard of integ-
rlty among the japanese is very high: be-
cause. when young men, who bought the
encyclopedia, abandoned their employments
to go to the front during the late war. their
families promptly paid the instalments
when due, and often under circumstan noes
of the utmost difficulty
