Accepted as satlsfactorv.

London, February 1.-The explanation in the dispatch from Tokio under yesterdays S date elucidating the reply of General Terauchi Japanese minister of war. to the interpolation of M. Oshi regarding the British army, is accepted by the ma- jority of the London morning papers as satisfactory. The long editorials on the matter however, do not conceal the feeling of impatience that the question should be raised in such a novel manner and in way offensive to the British amour propre.
 The Daily Mail still insists that it is a public slight upon a friendly and allied nation, which calls for a diplomatic pro- test. It declares that the Japanese em- bassy admits that General Terauehfs re- ply constitutes breach of international etiquette The Daily Telegraph, repre- senting the general opposition, thinks that the incident has caused an unneces- sary fuss. It admits Minister oshfs oues- tion indiscreet, but that only General Terauchis reply counts. It assumes that the minister merely reaffrmed the clause Of the agreement to the effect that 'con- tracing parties will from time to time consult one another upon all questions of national interest,"

NOT MANY POLL TAX
 RECEIPTS ISSUED
LESS THAN 1000 MEN IN JEFFEh' SON COUNTY PAY THE RE- CURED FEE-VoTE WILL BE VERY LIGHT.

Less than 70o0 voters paid their poll tax for 1905 up to the close of the Jener- son county tax collectors office last evening. At no time was there any rush in the office yesterday, and the prepara- tions made for a rush by Tax Collector Tarrant were needless.
 About so receipts were issued yester- day, which brings the total up to about 5000, roughly estimated. A full count Of the number of receipts. however, has not been made.
 "The number of poll tax receipts TOT 1905 issued by the tax collector indicates d lighter vote in the elections this year than was had in 1904 elections said one of the prospective candidates for puphc office last evening
 'oThe total vote cast in 1904 in Jefferson county was something over 5000, if re- member correctly. Inasmueh as there are nearly as many voters exempt from poll tax as there are who must pay It, we might expect something like n,OO0 or F. 600 votes to be cast at the coming elec- tions.
 Tn 1904 nearly 5000 poll tax recelpls were issued, however, yet not many more than that number of votes were cast In those elections, hence if the same eondi- tions rule this year there will hardly be more than 5000 or 5000 votes cast in the elections in November. This all depends however, upon the activity of the candi- dates and the interest taken in the cam paign and the elections by the voters.
 1t was explained that the $500 receipts issued were not all for 19O5 poll tax, some being for poll tax due on previous years, but the same circumstances surrounded the collections of the poll tax in 1904 so there is nothing much gained or lost by the explanation, in the opinion of the persons who watched the matter closely.

GOVERNOR oNces PENNILEss.
Davidson of Wisconsin Was Once a
 Farm Hand.

From the Chicago Tribune
 A man who thirty years ago walked the streets of Madison penniless stranger has been inaugurated gov ernor of the state of Wisconsin. By the resignation of Robert M. LaFolletto to accept the United States Senator ship, Lieut.. Gov. James o. Davidson of Soldiers Grove takes his place.
 Mir. Davidson, the new governor, was born in Con, Norway, on February 10, 1854. He came to America at the age of 19, worked for time on farms and as a tailor, finally started a general store at Soldiers Grove, Crawford county, and has been in the mercantile business since 1877. He was an assem- blyman for six years, state treasurer for four, and has been lieutenant gov ernor for three years.
 Attention was first drawn to him when as assemblyman he succeeded after many defeats in putting through bills increasing the taxation of sleep ing car, express companies, and other corporations.
 While MT. Davidson has not an- nounced his candidacy for governor in the next election, his friends generally expect him to do so shortly. Although the relations between LaFollette and Davidson are cordial. the Senator has thrown his influence toward Speaker Irvine l.. Lenroot of Superior, who came out some months ago.
 However. Davidson is well known and popular, and with the prestige of precedence in matters of reelection may be powerful enough to defeat Len root.
 Lenroot is the same type of man as laFollette. His campaign will be along the same lines as those of tho outgoing governor. He will insist on tue regulation of corporations and the strengthening and enforcing of the laws now on the books.

SHARP DECLINE IN
 THE TEMPERATURE
THERMOMETER DROPPED MANY DEGREES IN A FEW HOURS LAST NIGHT-A CLEAR DAY IS PROM lsED TODAY

Old Boreas reached Birmingham last night on another of his visits to Bir- mingham. Heretofore this season his trips have been of short duration, and there is little likelihood that he will re- main long this tlme but he came un- announced and caught many of the peo- pie of Birmingham unprepared.
 There was nothing in the shape of an advance guard to give warning of his coming. No scouting parties were sight ed by the outposts. Like the negro pick aninny. he jess canned" He was ac- companied by the little members of the Boreas family, who scampered around upnmoested and practically unnoticed. Boreas himself was enough to keep Bir- mingham people busy.
 As a result of the visit, the thermom- eter yesterday dropped considerably. In the twenty-four hours ending at oclock yesterday afternoon, the maximum tenn perature was 6S degrees. and the mini mum was S. a difference of 30 degrees, which Is understood more easily when 1t fig felt At midnight last night the thermometer hung about a2 degrees but the chilly blasts of the wind were colder than that, at least they felt colder.
 Men and women who attended the the atre last night and failed to take wraps and oyercoats with them felt the change to marked degree. When they entered the playhouse the weather was season. able. When the performance was over and they reached the street, the drop in the temperature was noticeable and there was a hurried rush to get home and away from the weather.
 The weather man promises nice, clear weather today, with light nor'h to north east winds. Showers may fall tonight or tomorrow morning in the southern portion of the state, which indicates the ap- proaeh of warner weather. The map shows no reason to expect a lengthy stay in the cool spell

 Made Against Henderson and Owens

Treasury In Good Shape.

Washington, February 1.-The monthly statement of the government receipts and ditlon of the treasury which is eminently satisfactory to the officials. One year ago today there was a deficit of over SAS,50O,000. which has now been reduced to less than s. 100000 wit. the prospect that this amount will be entirely wiped out within the next thirty days. It is pointed out that today there is an avail able cash balance on hand including de- posis in national banks of nearly $l44.- O0o,000 with the daily receipts more than equalling the expenditures. This improv- ed condition is due almost entirely to large increases in customs and internal revenue receipts.

Dickens Gay Clothes.

From Miss Friswell's Recollections.
 We were walking down Wellington street, Strand, and just passing the of flee of Household Words, when a hanson cab stopped and out stepped a gayly dressed gentleman.
