Roosevelt's Message.

PARIS, December 5.-The Japanese min
ister here, NJ. Kurino. who negotiated the
Japanese-American treaty of 1894, was ex-
,rernely gratihed by President Roosevelt's
declaration on the San Francisco school
controversy in his message to Congress
yesterday. The minister informed the As
ISOLATED Press today that, although the
school question was not foreseen when the
treaty was drawn up, the most-favored-
nation clause was designed to prevent dis
Elimination and provide for equal treat
nent with the most favored nation, which
vas all Japan desired. NJ Kurino consid-
RS this to be most important for the con-
.inuance of good relations between the two
ountries, whose interests, in spite OF COM
nercial competition, run parallel In the
Pacific and China.
NJ Kurino took occasion to deny in the
nest emphatic manner the reports that
Japan entertained aspirations to absorb
western Siberia and drive back the Rus

AWARDED BIG CONTRACT.
Washington to Have the Finest Depot
Installation Known.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
PITTSBURG. Pa, December 5-The
Union Switch and Signal Company of
Swissvale has just been awarded the en-
tire contract for the interlocking and sig
mailing of the great terminal station now
being constructed in Washington, D. c.. by
the Pennsylvania and the Baltimore and
Ohio railroads. The installation will be
electro pneumatic, similar in its general
characteristics to that in the railway yards
of the Pennsylvania railroad at the union
station in this city. The Washington in
stailation, however, will be the largest and
most complicated signaling and interlock-
ing installation that has ever been con-
strueted in the world. The largest one
previous to this was put in service at st.
Louis at the beginning OF the worlds fair
and before that the most important was
the electric-pneumatc interlocking system
at the terminals of the Boston South sta
ton. Both of these plants were also in
stalled by the Union Switch and Signal
Company. -.r

T A RIFF REVISI O N
MOVEMENT FOR A SPECIAL SEES
SION FOR THE WORK.

There Is movement afoot, backed by
the Massachusetts, delegation, to call upon
the republican members of the House to
consider the question of tariff revision
This movement is in direct line with the
sentiment in some parts of the House for
a special session of Congress to consider
tariff revision, taxation, income tax and
measures Of this kind. Representative
Butler Ames OF Massachusetts,, in talking
with Star reporter today, made the fol-
lowing statement on the subject.
For two years I have stretched myself
and worked for immediate tariff revision,
and believe now is the time to revise the
tariff We should at once hold caucus of
the republicans of Congress to give con-
crete expression of our determination to
Immediately revise the inequalities present
in our tariff law, to give all possible notice
to the country at large by fixing the kind
Of revision which should be Immediately
after the 4th of next March and to deter
mine the best method of proceeding,
whether under special rule to treat only
those schedules which are manifestly too
high and so burden on the country gen.
orally, or whether to open up the whole
subject.
1.-The older and consequently the more
conservative republican members of Con-
gress> are opposed to revision. This inertia
Of hoary tradition this disinclination to
any change OF existing conditions must
younger and more progressive members Of
our party.
cit is characteristic Of those welded to
tradition to accept without protest what u.s.
1t is equally characteristic of progress to
push on with the vigor, the hope and the
enthusiasm Of new blood for better things.
The one cries, Let we'll enough alone;' the
other, Make well enough better While
experience, age and tradition must often 20
hand In hand, even they admit that the
tariff must be revised some time or other;
but they counsel leaving it alone until pub
lie opinion becomes so outraged that q
democratic House and Senate make the re-
vision. The shortsghted traditionists adj
NIT that under the very best conditions
that any revision will be accompanied by
some financial unrest and suspense They
counsel not revision by the friends of
protection in the heyday of republican
prosperity, when the necessary disturbance
to the financial and commercial world will
be least appreciable. but to recommend a
postponement of action until revision Is
made by the enemies of protection at q
time and in q manner such as to induce the
widest fiuctuation and disturbances In our
prosperity and credit.
ut Is not good business Judgment to de-
lay the time of making needed changes or
improvements in the machinery of a mill
until prosperity ceases and hard times be-
gin, nor does the thinking man wait for q
thunder storm to break before Patching a
leak in the roof of his house, nor can it be
that the lessons of the past election are to
be lost or misinterpreted by the former
stand pat Of the House"

WITHOUT TIE CIRCLE
DISTRICT UNABLE TO HAVE
. WORK DONE AT g. p. o.

A halt has been called on all the Dis
trict governments printing at the gov
eminent printing office. due, it is said, to
a recent ruling. and the Commissioners
have notified Secretary Tindall to discon-
tinue sending matter to the printing Of
fee to be printed until further notice
In an act of Congress last year It was
specified that the District government was
not an executive department. and could
not, therefore, be treated as SUCH Being
so classed, the Commissioners are unable
to receive from Congress an appropriation
for printing as is done in the case Of the
various executive departments, and which
was formerly done in the case of the Dis
.trict. However, the Commissioners will
confer with the necessary committees of
Congress to have the question of an ap-
preparation for printing settled. and in the
meantime the printing Of all matters for
the District will be postponed.
Heretofore the Commissioners have sup
piled the necessary paper, and have paid
generously for the press work, but every
thing else was free Of charge. But things
are different now. A little work was done
for the Commissioners several weeks ago
at the public printing Office and the Com
mssioners were much surprised when the
public printer presented them with a bill
FOR everything connected with the work.
Although they were aware that they were
not included in the class with the execu-
tive departments, and that no appropria-
ton had been allotted fer the printing the
Commissioners were of the opinion that the
printer would do the work on credit until
they had received some kind of an appro-
priation from Congress during the present
session.
The public printers bill was not only
unexpected, but the Commissioners looked
upon the amount as exceptionally steep
despite the guaranteed high class of the
work. An official of the executive Office
said that the bill was much higher than
would have been the case had the work
been given to any ordinary job printer in
the District.
means the delay in getting the annual re-
ports Of the various heads of departments

the course Of a year amounts to more than
81, 1000.
