JAPANESE PARLIAMENT MEETS.
Present Session to Deal With Many
Important Questions.

Toxic, Jan. 20.-The Japanese Par
Lament reopened its session today
with the usual ceremonies. The pres.
ent session will have to- deal with
many highly important questions. none
of them more important than the prob.
lem of providing for the financial pol
icy of the country A new loan of
$2l5. coo, 600 is to be raised and $75..
600. 900 of that amount is to be paid to
the soldiers and sailors of Japan in
recognition of their services.
1t is the intention of the government
TO have the entire new loan made at
home. OF the total amount 500, 600.
600 will be raised in the open market,
which is not likely to feel a pressure
on this account, because in tie course
of the year the Government is to re.
deem exchequer bonds for the benefit
of the market. OF the remainder of
the new issue SO, 600, 600. as already
and sailors of the late war. The
$40, 900, 600, which need only be issued
gradually, is TO be taken up by the
governments Savings Deposit Bureau.
The reimbursement by Russia of the
expenses of the maintenance of rhe
prisoners is not included in this finan-
cial scheme. because the amount has
not been ascertained. The new issue
will decrease by the amount of the
payment receivable from Russia. The
normal expenditure for the year, not
connected with the war, are estimated
at $il5, 600, 600, and are to be met by
the normal revenues in eixstsnc
There is no doubt that the Parliament

support 10 make 1t possible to carry
out these plans with perfect success.

Several changes in the original draft

Three hundred dollars for dealers do.

4 BRIEF MORNING SESSION.
THE COURT ADJOURNED UNTIL
MONDAY MORNING.
After Hazing Inquiry Is Over Will
Not Be Enough Midshipmen
to Hold Y. NJ. c. A.
Meeting.
THE COURT REACHES CoNCLUS-
ION IN THE CASE.

After a brief session this morning,
during whiehsMr. George II. Mann, OF
New York city, made an argument
for Midshipman Charles NJ. James,
charged with hazing, the court.mar-
tial adjourned until 10 O'Clock Monday
morning.
The eourt closed at II O'Clock for the
consideration of "A verdict and at ten
minutes past eleven had reached its
conclusion. Shortly after this they
adjourned. Mr.. Mann urged that the
proof was not sufficiently definite as
to time and on other points TO justify
= verdict of guilty upon any of the
specifications. He said that if such
acts as had been alleged against James
were considered hazing there would
not be enough midshipmen left in the
Academy TO carry on a Y. NJ. O A.
meeting when the court got done It's
work. The Judge Advocate submitte d
the case without argument.
Midshipman Charles NJ. James, the
upper classman whom Fourth Glass
man Edgar n. Caldwell stated yester-
day had applied an obscene and pro.
fame epithet TO him, stated this morn.
ing that he absolutely denied the
charge. He would have gone on the
stand and denied it under oath. he
said, but for the fact that he was ad-
vised by counsel that this would ex-
pose him to general cross examina-
ton in regard to every allegation in
the charge He further stated that
Caldwell was known to be a liar and
had either conoocted the whole affair
or confused him with some other mid
shipman.
Midshipman Caldwell stated that he
had been hazed at least fifty times and
also that he had received $50 demerits
at one time for "frenching" and max
ing an evasive statement. James seems
deeply hurt at this part of the charge
made against him and is anxious that
his willingness to deny it under oath
be made public.

BIDS FOR PHILIPPINE RAILROADS.
Opened And Submitted to The
Bureau of Insofar Affairs.

Washington. ID c., Jan. 20. The
new bids for concessionary contracts
or grants for the construction of rail.
roads in the Philippine Islands, which
hadssbeen submitted TO Secretary Taft,
after the bids submitted IN answer 10
the previous call for proposals had
been rejected, were opened this morn
ing at 10 O'Clock and submitted to the
Bureau of Insular Affairs for compu.
tation
The former bids had been rejected
because of departures from the terms
of the circular calling for proposals.
Secretary Taft, after a number of con-
ferenees wiCh Governor Wright and
Mr. Forbes, of the Philippine Com
mission, and Colonel Edwards, Chief
of the Insular Bureau. rejected all
proposals and readvertised for bids.
The terms of the proposals were some
what modified.
1t was decided that where bidders
propose to construct the road without
guarantee they will be limited in their
bids only by the terms of the Philip
pine government railroad acts of 1902
and 1908. But where bidders wish to
take advantage of guarantee of Ger.
tain interest on their investment they
can vary from the original invitations
to bid only in point of time or in the
cost of construction per mile. as affect
ed by contractors profits. AS to the
latter the Philippine government re-
serves the right TO fix the maximum
cost of the road.
The time in which the road can be
completed and the contractors profits
will be important considerations in
making the awards. 1t is understood
that the bidders who have sent in pro.
posals this time are practically the
same as those who sent in bids on the
previous occasion.

will hold their second meeting this
afternoon at the residence of the
president, Mrs. @. l.. Morehouse 1t
had originally been proposed to hold
the meeting in the evening, TO enable
the men interested in the plan, to at
tend the meeting, but some of the vet
Grams pointed out that the movement
would depend almost altogether upon
the good will and patriotism of the
women, for whom it would be easier to
attend a meeting in the afternoon
than ia the evening. 1t is proposed
TO incorporate the society as a state
organization and to present a petition
to the Mayor and the Board of Alder
men for the use of the Jumel Mansion
as Soldiers Home. 1t is expected
that several prominent war veterans
will attend the meeting this afternoon
and deliver short addresses in favor of
the movement.

of the West. The elevator has been
rebuilt and improved machinery in
stalled at cost of $50. 600. The ele-
vator had been damaged by severe
storm in May of Hast year and had to
be placed out of commission. 1t was
found that it would be more advan-
tageous to put in new and improved
machinery than merely to have the
old machinery repaired.

But now comes Speaker Cannon
and declares: ~ have no hesitation
i'm saying that the present revenue

things considered, is the most nearly
perfect and just customs law ever
enacted" Considering that the trusts
and combines are protected by the
20 per cent extra that Mr. Dingloy
admitted was "purposely placed too
high" and that the republican lead
ers have refused TO ratity the reci-
procity treaties negotiated by Pres
idcut Mckinley. II must he confessed
that Mr.. Cannon's statement is ex-
traordinary.
This is carrying the standpat po-

the plunderers OF the people for the
