ASSURANCE OF GOOD WILL
Jap Foreign Minister Replies to News
paper Inquiry.

pdPcT inquiry.
New York, July 19.-Foreign Min
lister Hayashi Of Japan, replying to q
cable request by the New York World
for An assurance Of peace and good
will at this time from the mikado.
wired as follows:
While apprsciating friendly senti-
ments expressed in your telegram
find 1t impossible, consistently with
the usage of this country, to ask for
the imperial message desired.
81 assure you, however, that no
erroneous impression, to which you
refer, has been entertained by the
japanese people and still less by the
Japanese government.
"Tt is here fully and universally be-
lteved that the reported cruise Of the
United States feet to the Pacific, If
contemplated at all, implies no indi.
cation Of disquieting nature in the
relations between Japan and the Unit
ed States.
Whole nation has mistaken conf
dence in the policy Of justice and
peace which has characterized the
American government and all sensa-
tional reports appearing in q small
section Of the press have absolutely
no reflection in the minds of the pub
lie. who are thoroughly convinced of
the pacific character Of the situation -

LAW WILL NOT
STAND TEST
ROAD AND BRIDGE ENACTTlENI
UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
Attorney General Is Said to Have
Decided That Law Cannot Hold
Water-Drainage Fund Law Is Also
in Doubt.

Attorney General Young, in an op-
inion to be given shortly, will declare
the 100000 road and bridge law
passed by the last legislature to be in
violation of the constitution. An IN"
formal statement to this effect has
been made by persons interested and
close to Mr.. Young, says the St. Paul
Dispatch.
In anticipation of the opinion, State
Auditor Iverson who has the distribu-
ton of the fund, made formal applica-
tion for the opinion Friday, and he ex-
poets the answer in few days. 1t
follows on an application from Kittson
county, which has just built bridge
and wants the state aid the law enu-
ties it to.
The new law provides for the distri =
button of 5000, 900 a year, from the
state revenue fund among the counties
for road and bridge improvements and
a it is here that the unconstitutional
feature is alleged. 1t is the point on
which Mr.. Iverson has asked for an
opinion. Even if the answer should
he favorable, it is hardly probable that
the matter would be allowed to resi-.
Mandamus proceedings would quickly
follow and the matter be taken into
the courts. 1t is said that this may be
done in any event.
The rock on which the new law is
due to split, is the provision OF the
constitution which provides for road
and bridge fund and names the sour
ces of revenue from which it shall be
annually replenished. This fund Is
now in charge of the state highway
commission while in the case OF the
new law, the money is taken from the
revenue fund and over it the commits
sion has no control whatever. Many
counties are watching the outcome
with interest.
Also i'm Doubt.
Another matter up in the air and on
which an opinion has been asked for IS
the validity of the $4,000 fund set
= aside by the last legislature for drain
ago purpose. For every dollar spent
by a county for drainage and ditch
purposes the state is authorized TO
take from the fund an additional dollar
and apply it on the cost. This applies
to the drainage of private as well as
marshy and swampy state lands and
what Mr.. Iverson desires is to find out
whether such an expenditure would be
legal one. In order to vahda5e IT,
the legislature in drafting the law spe-
cited, that it might be done for the
puhlic health. 1t was further specified
that the provisions of the law might
be literally construed.

A man will pull his money out Of
his pocket, miss a dollar and try to
recall when and where and how he
spent it. In the same way, as he
grows older, he will occasionally count
over his friends, find there Is one less
and wonder what he did to lose him.

Is Not Expected Any Diplomatic In
cident Will Result.
Washington, July 19.-The state de.
partment has been informed that the
revenue cutter Manning, on the 5th
inst, seized two Japanese fishing
schooners, the Nitto Maru and the
Kaimo, near the boats landing within
about q mile of the seal island Of st,
Paul. Both of the vessels were fully
equipped for sealing and there were
evidences that they had been plying
their craft in the shape of fresh seal
skins in the small boats. The seized
vessels were taken to Onalaska and
left in charge Of the United States
marshal. The crews were taken aboard
the Manning and conveyed to Ungi
in charge Of United States marshal
whore they will be tried before a
United States commissioner on the
charge of violating the sealing regula.
tions.
The Japanese embassy has been
notified by the state department, but
as the case appears to be an ordinary
one Of poaching 1t is not expected that
any diplomatic incident will result.
