JAPAN'S IMPERTINENCE
Erouses the Utmost Astonishment
Among the LONDON Papers.

London, Feb. 1.-The cablegram from
Toxic announcing that the leader of
Tie ProSrcs sist party of Japan inter-
pcIiated the minister of war as to
v neither the Japanese government, in
view of the AnSlO-JapaneSe alliance,
erument to reform its army organiza-
ton, to Which the minister replied that
his government would do 50 at some
future date, is likely to cause 4 sensa-
ton throughout Great Britain. For the
moment most of the papers refrain
from comment under the idea that :,
wrong impression might have been
conveyed through a close Geographic
summary or by u telegraphic error.
The Daily Mail says it is reluctant
to believe that the common rules of
international courtesy have been inten-
tionally disrC gardcd. 1t expresses be
lief that the statement of Gen. Tcrauchi
viii result in diplomatic correspond
ence.
The Daily News in an editorial says
that ''it is not an agreeable pill for a
proud people to swallow" and points
with dramatic emphasis to the extra
ordinary story Of the last % years since
the Gilbert and Sullivan opera Of ''The
Mikado" represented "Our notions of
Japan" The paper adds that 'if this
miracle happened in 90 years, what
may not hapen in so years."

ANTI-CRlME MEETINGS.
People Of Chicago Awakening to Their
City's Condition.

Chicago. Jan. 31.-The depth of the

CURED i'm the afternoon and illustrated

wrought up public sentiment to a pitch

Admiral Walker, the former chairman oi
| the commission, and others connected
with the building of the canal that com.
merce was secondary to the movement o
canal material 1t was that indifference
that Drought ABOUT the congestion. 1t Is
shown just the same in shipments by
steamer from New York. A STEAMSHIP
may be loaded with a commercial bust
ness and rush order be received fo,
canal material. The commercial business
would be removed and canal material
substituted, but we would be notified OF
the shipment cf the business destined 70,
Western ports and receive papers for tn,
business. The result is that we would
receive bills of lading and manifests TO,
goods that could not be found and our
ships would be delayed for days"
He charged that the railroad company
had detained the Pacific Mail STEAMSHIP
Cos. ships by failure to furnish them
with coal, as they are required TO do ur-
der 4 contract. and that when complaint
was made to Supt. Hunt Of the railroad
he said the fault lay with higher oiii
cials. Mr. Schworin said he had resorted
to every means to bring about improved
conditions, even making a protest to the
state department to induce it to appeal
to Panama.
1t was denied b. Nj Schwerln that
his company had haG a monopoly on the
Pacific coast, and he declared that there
had been no money in the business be-
tween San Francisco and Panama. He
asserted that the statement of Mr.. Ste
yenS that the freight congestions were
the fault of the Pacific Mail showed that
Mr. Stevens was q railroad man and con-
fused steamship IN, thOds with railroad
methods, whereas as Il matter of fact
they were totally different.
Senator Knox asked Mr.. Schwerin if he
had rot smarted 4 little under the crit
cism of Sec. Taft and if that feeling had
not cropped out in mis- testimony.
Mr.. SChwerin replied he had thought
it too bad to be held up to ridiculc and
disgrace by q high official of the United
States when every effort had been mad,
to uphold the American flag in a business
that had almost been driven off the sea.
He denied to Senator Morgan that the
Pacific Mail has any connection with Il
trans-continental railroad, and declared
that Sec. Taft's statement that his CON-
pany had put small steamers in the 18TH
nlian trade in order to divert the better
steamers to the coffee trade was ''abso-
Iutely false He added:
1T may be that they are not making
the dirt lily as rapidly as they want. but
I am not going to let them make the fur
of the Pacific Mail fly without giving tn
the public an understanding of the way
business is being done.

tween Panama and Frisco.

Washington. Jan. 31.-Robert +. Schwer-
in. general manager Of the Pacific Mail
Steamship Co.. WAS before the Senate
committee on intcr-oceanic canals today.
His attention was called to statement
made by See Taft criticizing the service
between Panama and San Francisco for
its part in contributing to the concos-
ton of freight at Panama. In reply he
said:
Sec. Taft's statement was made either
through malice tending to, injure an
American industry. or through Ignorance
of the causes of the difficulties of which
ne has complaiued.'
Continuing. he said that the Pacific
Mail Steamship Co. operates nine rccu-
lar steamers on the Pacific coast. which
steamers sail on schedules approved by
the countries whose ports arc entered
! The schedules provide for connections
with the steamers of the Panama Steam
ship Co. from New York by means of the
railroad across the isthmus
Mr.. Schwerin said that freight had ac-
cumulated on the wharves. all CONNER
