sooTHes JAPANESE FEELING.
Action Taken by President Has Good
Effect.

Toxic, Oct. 30.-The course of ac-
tion pursued by the United States
with the view OF protecting the treaty
rights of the Japanese has been some
what effective in soothing the feelings
CT the Japanese people, injured by the
San Francisco school incident, and az
centuating the confidence of the pco-
pie in President Roosevelt, whose fair
ness is praised OH all sides. Ii is al
together unlikely, and there is as yet
no sign whatever that the Japanese
will initiate the Chinese in boYcotting
American goods.

 fer Rule-Magistrate Fines the Stu
 dent for Taking Law Into His Own
 Hands but Scores the Road-His Own l Daughter Threatened by a Conducto,
 That She Would be Put or if She | Gave Pennies Again. New York, March 2z-On the charge of assaulting the conductor of a Lenox and Columbus avenue car, at One Hun dred and Nineteenth street, last night, in an argument over fare and trans fers, John Ryan, twenty-four years old, Columbia university student, was ar- raigned in the Harlem Police court to- day before Magistrate Crane. After taking occasion to denounce the new transfer rule of the company, requiring passengers to ask for transfers at the time they pay their fare, Magistrate Crane fined Ryan three dollars on the assault charge.
 T boarded the car at One Hundred and Twenty-fffth street." said Ryan, and offered the conductor five pennies for my fare. The conductor said inso- lently, that he had no dishpan in which to collect fares.
 T held out the pennies to drop them in his hand, and when I dropped them he drew his hand away, and three pen nies fell on the floor. When I asked for transfer he refused to give me one until I picked up the pennies. Then I admit that I struck him and knocked him down."
 The conductor Thomas O'Rrien, of No. 1911 Lexington avenue, said that the defendant had offered him but three pennies.
 T am more inclined to agree with the defendant?" said Magistrate Crane, after the story my little girl told me the other night. My little girl boarded car with a companion, and offered ten pennies for their fares. The con- ductor at first refused to take the pen- nies, but finally did so, with the threat that if my daughter ever offered him pennies again she would be put off the car.'
 T wish we could find that man, said the company's counsel; "he would cer- tainly be punished"
 T do, too," said the magistrate. Your new transfer rule" he told the lawyer, works great hardship and in- justice The company should not re- fuse transfer at any time
 Its a bad rule," continued the mag istrate, land you will nave more trou- ble over it. Besides, a rule of your company is not law Your company cannot make rules that ernbarrass the public, upon which you are dependent for your profits.
 ''The tendency of corporations is to take all they can, until they are held up, Any rule of the railway company that causes hardship even In only one case should be albrogated"
 Magistrate Crane then fined Ryan three dollars, advising him never to take the law in his own hands,
 Ryan paid his fine.

 New York, March 27.-The taking of Uestlmony in this city in the proceed ings brought by the threats of Missouri to oustl from that commonwealth the standard Oil company of Indiana. the 'Waters-Pierce Oil company and the Republic oil company, on the ground that they constitute combination in constraint of trade, was ended to-day Attorney General Hadiey of Missouri. who has been present during the most of the time since the local inquest be- gan, announced that with to-day's ad- journment the New York proceedings Were ended. He instructed Commts- sloner SanboTn, before whom the wit nesses testified, to send d certified copy Of the testimony to the supreme court Of Missouri, where 1t will become a pars of the record in the states case.
 Practically the last move Mir. Hadey made in the case was to introduce tes- timony showing the difficulties under which subpoenas were served on most Of the witnesses who are in any way connected with the Standard Oil Coni- pany. He put in the record the fact thatseyery effort has been made in vain to secure the testimony of John D. Rockefeller. He introduced copies of letters written to attornys of the Stan dard Oil requesting that officers of the company accept service. The request applied to John D. Rockefeller along with several others. During the exam, ination of the subpoena server. counsel for the defendant companies brought out that the man had received money from newspapers for stories of his ex- perence in trying to serve some of the Standard Oil men. Counsel declared these facts were brought out ''to show there has been lot of grand-standine and advertising about this, and a lot of sensationalism."
 "The only sensationalsm there has been in this case has been the sensa- tfonal attempts of these witnesses to evade service of subpoenas," replied Attorney-General Hadey,

Canadian Policy to Limit That From
 Niagara Falls.

Ottawa, Ont, March 27.-A federal policy for water power which will pre- vent the export of energy developed at Niagara Falls to an extent to starve Canadian industries has been announc- ed in the house by Minister of Public Works Hyman. Mir. Hyman said there was no doubt of a federal control over the export of electric power. The gov ernment had therefore lain down a policy to govern their course, several applications being now before them.
 Right to export power would only be granted subject to revocation at short notice and the companies would be subject to such rules and regulations as the government saw fit to impose. Ac- tion would also be taken to prevent spoliation of the scenic beauty of the falls.
