Japanese In San Francisco.

AS to the schools, the japanese
Government perfectly understand
that the people of this State are not
under the slightest obligation to tax
themselves to tes,ch japanese tie
English language or to admit Orien-
tai pupils at all into our schools where
their presence may be distasteful fo
our own people. III view Of ths fact
that we have not in this city sufficient
buildings to accommodate our own
pupils, the japanese Government will
see that our provision Of special
schools for the instruction of Orien-
tails is an act of the most kindly con-
sideration on our part. The japanese
Government also knows that in view
Of the restrictions placed on our peo-
pie in Japan and its dependencies, il
is in no position to complain if we
should conclude to exercise the right
which the japanese. have formally
recognized by treaty to exclude those
classes of their people whose presence
here is certain to result in conditions
and acts which would interrupt the
friendly relations between the two
nations.-The San Francisco Chron-

Washington, Nov. 5.-The state
ment made a few days ago by the
department Of commerce and labor
relative to the return to the United
States of the commission represent
ing Lancashire, England, cotton
spinners, whose mission is to close
for property for the growing of cot
ton, will no doubt cause much dis
cussion among cotton men generally.
Many cotton men are said to look
upon this scheme as one Of the most
significant affecting the cotton indus
try in recent years. 1t is regarded by
many as an abandonment Of the at
tempts to grow cotton in the Soudan,
in Africa, where the English spinners,
backed by the English government,
have spent millions Of dollars in the
effort to grow the staple.
The commission that will shortly
start South has already, it is UNDER
stood, landed in this country, and in a
few days will begiz a tour Of Dixie
land in quest of better lands than
they have been able to find at home:
This effort to get the English spin
ners to the United States has not
been without some trouble. Herbert
Martin, Of Houston, Tex, one Of the
largest cotton planters in that State,
has recently spent sometime il Eng
land, and while there kept in close
touch with the Lancashire spinners.
He was thoroughly familiar with
their efforts to grow cotton in Africa
and the large sums of money that
were being spent by them in the en-
terprise. He gave them figures on
what coton would do in his State, as
we'll as in other States of the cotton
growing area, and induced them to
send a commission to this country to
investigate and to ascertain whether
or not the representations that he
had made them concerning the pro-
ductive quality of Southern soil were
bona fde.
While it is the purpose Of the COM
mission at the present time to make
their investments in Texas, where
very large bodies Of land are for sale,
it is understood that all operations
may not be confined entirely to that
State or to that section, but that
should the commission believe the
outlook good for prodtabIe invest
ments in other parts of the Unitet
States. their atention may be direct
Cd that way.
As al~ea dy stated, tie members d
this commission represent almos

the section that induces them to To-
cate will probably reap a good invest
ment.

MAY SEND WHOLE FLEET
ROOSEVELT ORDERS PREPARA-
TIONS FOR CUBAN CAMPAIGN.
WARSH|PS GETTING READY
Navy Yard Officials Rush Supplies
Aboard VesseIs-Secret lnstruc-
tcns to Commanders.

Washington-Jaco Sleeper, the
American charge daffaires at Havana,
advises the state department tina. the
government of President Palma has
considerable doubt of its ability to
maintain itself.
President Roosevelt has given rush
orders to the officials at the navy yard
at Norfolk to hurry stores aboard the
cruisers Tacoma and Cleveland SO as
to enable the vessels to sail for Cuba
by Saturday.
Consideration has been given the
question Of sending the entire Atlantic
fleet, under command of Rear Admiral
Evans, to Cuban waters. The stu
alton in Cuba is such that the gov
eminent may be forced to order these
vessels south.
There is no secrecy on the part OF
the army officers on duty at the war
department that plans for campaign
have not only been discussed, but have
actually been decided. These steps
have been taken because the admins
tration does not desire to lose any
time in sending troops to Cuba to
maintain peace and protect life and
property if the situation becomes so
acute as to demand action. on the
part of the government.
1t is stated in the most emphatic
terms by Acting Secretary Bacon that
there has been no request on the part
of the Cuban government for interven-
ton by the United States. But official
advice has been received by the de-
partment that the revolutionary forces
are conducting their war upon the
very gates of Havana, and that the
capture of President Palma and the
members of his cabinet is among the
possibilities of the next few days. If
Palma desires to seek an asylum on
an American warship it will be granted
him.
The Denver is now anchored in Ha-
vana harbor, almost within a stones
throw of Palmas palace. In case the
personal safety of President Palma
should be threatened he could be taken
aboard the vessel within a few mo-
ments' time. Commander Colwell, in
charge of the Denver. will, of course,
also afford all possible protection to
American citizens in the city of Ha-
vana. In an emergency he will be
permitted to land blue jackets for this
purpose without waiting to communi-
cate with Washington. A. similar
course will be pursued by the Mart
eta at Cienfuegos, and by the Dixie at
Guantanamo.

BRYAN REITERATES CHARGES
BUT DECLINES TO ENTER INTO
PERSONALITIES.
Nebraskan Says His Candidacy Is
Question for Democracy Alone
to Settle.

Lincoln, Neb.-William Jennings
Bryan, in his reply to the statement
of National Committeeman Roger c.
Sullivan of Illinois, given out Thurs,
day night, declines to make the dis
cusSiOn a personal one, and declined
to consent to Mr.. Sullivan's roll call
challenge contest.
Mr.. Bryan reiterates his charges
against Mr.. Sullivan, and says the
question at issue must be submitted
to the democrats of Illinois when they
select delegates to the next national
convention. He says Mr.. Sullivan is
officially connected with a favOr-seek,
the question is whether the democratic
organization should be paralyZed by
the influence of men whose private in
terests make it impossible for them to
be guardians of the public.
MIR. Bryan says that he has not
asked for the nomination of president
and has not announced that he will be
candidate, consequently he will not
submit the question whether he
should be candidate to Mr.. Sullivan
or any body of citizens less numerous
than the members of the democratic
party of the United States. Neither
can the question as to whether Mr..
Sullivan be reelected to the national
committee be submitted to the mem
bers of a committee already ad-
journed Such decision would have
no binding force.
Mr.. Bryan says he will urge the
democratic party to put itself in a
position where it can fight boldly. and
persistently for the regulation of sucn
corporations as are not monopolistic,
and for the prevention of any private
monopoly whatever. To this end the
organization must be composed of
men who are free to act for the pub
lie, and not tied by personal interests
to corporations which are seeking ia
vor at the public's expense.

Women Teachers In Japan.

The Japanese have apparently come
to the conclusion that women make
better teachers than men. Fifteen
years ago, the women preparing for
the profession of teaching were only
20 per cent. of the total number. To-
day they constitute IS; the demand for
women as instructors is much greater
than that for men. The number OF
girls who receive a regular education
is eight times what it was decade
ago. There is also an ever-increasing
invasion of business Offices; in some
of the largest houses in Toxic and
other cities, most of the clerks are
now women. 1t would be mistake,
however, to interpret this movement
as sign that the women of Japan
have suddenly become, mannish. They
have from time immemorial done the
hardest kind of drudgery, such as
weaving, coal-heaving, and tilling the
soil, which is infinitely more the work
of man than teaching and bookkeep-
ing. Their new employment may
mean relief from their more arduous
old ones.

Money Value of PoIiteness.

The attitude of too many public
servitors seems to be one of hostility
toward the public. Manifest indisposi-
ton to answer perfectly proper ques-
lions is shown. Such defects of char
acter are almost certain to bar the
way to advancement in any calling,
says the Philadelphia Ledger. Superior
ability may bring high degree of
success without any grace or suavity
of manner, but the majority of en-
ployes do not possess exceptional tai
ents and must rise by energy, integrity
and a pleasing personality. This last
named quality more than any other
explains the rise of certain persons to
high estate. Very ordinary men have
smiled their way to honors and for
tune. A cheerful, friendly person may
pass for something much better than
he really is, so great is the value
which the world sets upon good ma
ture.
