MikadO's Foreign Minister
Breaks Official Silence to
Deny RumOrs
Baron Hayashi Declares Immigration
is Only Problem aud IL Holds
No Peril.
NO BASIS AT ALL FOR ALARM

Toxic. Nov. 9.-The official silence
so long consistently maintained by
Japan on the subject of the relations
of the United States and Japan in
connection with the persistent re-
ports Of friction was broken by an
interview with Minister of Foreign
Affairs Hayashi.
He prefaced his statement by eX-
pressing the hope that sincere pro-
nouncements by the foreign minister
Of japan and its publication through
the Associated Press would prevent
further misrepresentation and finally
result in discrediting those who are
continually circulating false and
harmful reports. He spoke not only
as a foreign minister. but as repre-
senting the sentiment of the entire
cabinet and the public.
Minister Hayashi said that the re-
lations between Japan and the United
States were smooth and cordial as
ever, and the cause of civilization as
well as community of interest de-
manded their lasting peace and friend
ship. That full weight may be given
the interview it Is proper to state
that 1t was granted by the foreign
minister only after lengthy consider
alton of the propriety of an official
statement at this time. His announce
ment confirms the views expressed to
the Associated Press on every hand
by politicians. newspaper men and
others.
Minister Hayashi admitted that the
immigration question was the most
serious matter and was uppermost in
the public mind, but he was posi-
tive that 1t would be settled with
positive that it would be settled with
out friction. Already ii practically
has been decided. The Japanese pro-
pose to control emigration in such a
manner as TO benefit Japan and at
the same time conform to the wishes
of the American government, and Is
taking most active steps in this direc-
ton.

MARK TwAIN's CHILDREN.

A Case Whore Attempted Punish-
ment Proved q Hopeless Failure.
Ordinary punishments answered very
well for Susy. She was a thinker and
would reason out the purpose of them,
apply the lesson and achieve the re-
form required. But 1t was much less
easy to devise punishments that would
reform Clara. This was because she
was philosopher who was always
turning her attention to finding some
thing good and satisfactory and enter
tanning in everything that came her
way. Consequently 1t was sometimes
pretty discouraging to the troubled
mother to find that after all her pains
and thought in inventing what she
meant to be a severe and reform COM
polling punishment the child had en-
tirely missed the seventies through her
native disposition to get interest and
pleasure out of them as novelties. The
mother, in her anxiety to find a pen
atty that would take sharp hold and
do It's work effectively, at last resorted,
with sore heart and with reproach-
full conscience to that punishment
which the incorrigible criminal In the
penitentiary breads above all the other
punitive miseries which the warden In
ficts upon him for his good-solitary
confinement In the dark chamber. The
grieved and worried mother shut Clara
I'D in a very small clothes closet and
went away and left her therefor flf
teen minutes. 1t was all that the
mother heart could endure. Then she
came softly back and listened-llstened
for the sobs, but there weren't any ;
there were muffied and inarticulate
sounds, but they could not be construed
into sobs The mother waited half an
hour longer. By that time she was
suffering 80 intensely with sorrow and
compassion for the little prisoner that
she was not able to walt any longer
for the distressed sounds which she had
counted upon to inform her when there
had been punishment enough and the
reform accomplished. She opened the
closet to set the prisoner free and take
her back into her loving favor and for
giveness, but the result was not the
one expected. The captive had manu-
featured a fairy cavern out Of the
closet, and friendly fairies out of the
clothes hanging from the hooks and
was having most sinful and unre-
pentant good time and requested per-
mission to spend the rest of the day

PLAGUE AMONG QUAIL.
The Government Alarmed Over the
Spread of the Disease.

The Government Alarmed Over the
Spread of the Disease.
There is an outbreak of disease among
the quail Of the country that threatens
serious results. The news Is contained
In a circular issued by the department
Of agriculture calling the attention Of
sportsmen and game dealers to the out
on which to base treatment and protec-
tive measures, says the Kansas City
Times. While not enough Is known
about the disease to make diagnosis
absolutely certain. it Is suspiciously
like the grouse disease that for 100
years has been playing havoc with the
game birds in England. The centers Of
infection In this country are only just
being found, and If more information
is gained 1t Is possible that quarantine
measures may be resorted to.
The centers Of infection 80 far known
are in Kansas. Indian territory, Ala
bama, Virginia and Massachusetts, The
grouse disease has been studied scien-
tifically and has been found to be as
definitely a malady as typhoid or diph-
iberia. The disease. although evident
ly infectious, seems to be closely allied
to pneumonia.
Not enough has been learned yet
about the quail disease to establish
its identity unquestionably with the
grouse disease, but Its symptoms and
the spread of the infection is much the
same, and there Is possibility that it
has been imported with the shipment Of
grouse from England. 1t is known at
least that the quail disease is fatal not
only to quail but to the sharp-tailed
grouse Of this country, and there are
grave fears that its wider spread may
affect many Of the most important
game birds of the country.
The first intimation that the depart
ment of agriculture had Of the disease
was when In April, 1906, the bureau
of animal industry received three dead
birds from a Kansas City dealer. He
said that the birds were the last Of
a large lot that had been steadily dying
Off. The whole flock would appear
we'll at night and In the morning sew
eral of them would be dead.
Some time later the same dealer re-
celved a shipment Of two dozen blue
quail from Wichita, Kas. Nearly all
were dead on arrival. evidently from
the same disease. Then shipment
was received from Birmingham. Ala.
All of these died Of the same malady.
Then a report was received from Wor-
cester, Mass, saying that an infectious
disease was killing of the ruff grouse
that were raised for stock purposes
there.
