Nothing Japan Wants.

''The United States,' he said, has
nothing that Japan cares to take or
buy. On the other hand. the United
States has no wish TO own any of the
fair acres of Japan. Each can continue
to develop it's respective resources and
thus exhibit themselves to the nations
Of the world, not only as models OF the
highest civilization. but also provide an
untrammeIed way TO come and go IN
the exchange of the products.
1.-THE purpose and plans of the Japan
csc people no one can question or doubt
and it ought not to be necessary to con-
tinue the repetition OF denials from
sources of the highest authority in both
countries, that nothing exists between
them except harmony and good Will
In conclusion, Ambassador OBrien
paid a high tribute to the japanese,
and said their rare qualities were well
known to the world. Japan's determine
ton to make a high place for herself
among Christian nations deserves, said
he, the sympathy and support of the
entire world.

SOME PLEASING ADDRESSES

Toxic. Dec. 20.-The American am
bassador, Thomas ]. O'Brien, was the
guest of honor at the banquet last night
of the American Friends association,
of which Count Kaneko, the head of
the movement for an international ex-
position, to be held here in 1912, is
president. The banquet was attended
by the most prominent officials and
business men of this city. Foreign Min
lister Viscount Hayashi sent his regrets,
his absence being due to an official
entertainment in honor of the Korean
crown prince.
ViscOunt Kaneko, on toasting Ambas-
sador O'Brien, said that the society
was organized for the purpose of hav-
ing it become an intellectual bridge
connecting the Pacific coasts of two
nations who had assumed the joint re-
sponsibility of maintaining peace on the
Pacific; therefore, the greater the naval
power of America the less would be
the burden of Japan.
Japanese Exposition.
The fact that Japan had announced
an exposition, to take place in 1912, was
declaration of Japan's desire to pursue
peace with the Asiatic of all countries

President Roosevelt is the Warmest
and greatest friend of Japan. This is
the general feeling throughout Japan,
and the entire nation has expressed its

Ambassador O'Brien's reply was in
tended as an important pronouncement.
After giving thanks for the courtesies
extended to him during his short stay,
he said that the Pacific was intended to
serve as a great highway for the use
of mankind; as a highway it must be
maintained, and the responsibility of
securing its freedom rested upon Japan
and America. It was true that Ameri-
cas- responsibility was the heavier, be-
cause of its more extensive area and
population.

PORT OF SPAIN, Dec. 25.-The holiday
spirit pervaded the American fleet today,
but it was more like the celebration or
the Fourth of July than that of the
Christmas the men had known in colder
climates.
There were decorations in plenty and
wreaths of evergreens swinging that had
been brought along to keep alive the re-
membranes of the day, and there were
special dinners in the mess rooms for
the officers and turkey and other good
things for the men,
Today not fewer than 5000 or 1000 of the
bluejackets were allowed on shore and
they entered into the spirit of merry
making with the townspeople, whose
geniality and hospitality have known no
bounds.
The feature of the festivities was re-
gatta in which many of the battleships
had crews. There was plenty of exciting
finishes and enthusiasm ran high. Ad-
miral Evans, with his staff. watched the
struggles of the competitors from his
launch. and big crowds occupied points
of vantage along the course.
AS yet the battleships have not fin
ished coaling, for work was suspended to-
day, but tomorrow it will bv resumed
with energy, and it is expected that all
the bunkers will be well supplied long be-
fore the date of sailing has arrived.

NEW YORK, Dec. 25.-It is estimated
that during the Christmas rush here there
l1ave been 3,S40,0OO parcels shipped out OF
the city by express and mail. The figures,
based on estimates made at the postofice
and the express offices, are thought to be
approximately correct.
The value of the packages sent by ex-
press, where values were given, is said
to be about $7,400,000 The number Of
packages sent out of the city this year is
about per cent greater than last year.
while it is estimated the value is 10 per
cent less. This decrease in value is said
to be due to the fact that goods are
cheaper this year and that people are
more careful in expenditure of money.
New York always gives more than 1t
receives and 1t is estimated that not more
than 100000 have been received. Next to
the postoffice and express Offices the

BY Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Dec. 25.-Eastern roads arc
on the verge of what promises to be a
disastrous passenger rate war. Yesterday
the Erie gave notice of a cancellation OF
all of its eastbound passenger tariffs as
shown in the Chicago rate sheet.
Notice was also fiven by that road
that Fenruar..- l, 1908, it would no longer
abide by the differential arbitration
award of President Lucius Tutle of tho
Boston 6. Maine, whereby the Michigan
Central road was accorded a rate of SD
between hicago and New York.
1t is expected that when the indepenG-
ent Erie tariff, to be known as Erie tariff
No. /, is maue public, the first class rates
TO New Yorl and al. points east of Ch:-
cago will have suffered q reduction. Dis
satisfaction over the Michigan Central
award and over the failure of the lines
to keep the agreement not to pay steam
