JAPAN NEEDS SEVERE LEssoN,
High German ofsicial Regrets Amer
lea Yields to Upstairs,

Berlin, Feb. IL. - The anxiety OF
President Roosevelt TO accede 10 the de-
mands Of the japanese in the Califor-
mia school question has created very
bad impression here, especially in mil
itary and diplomatic circles, where the
whole affair has been watched from the
beginning.
A very high official in the foreign
department, who is closer than any
other man to the minister Of foreign
affairs, yesterday said:
"It Is a great pity that great nation
like America shall be forced by circum-
stances to give in to these japanese up
starts, who will now grow more conceit-
ed than ever.
at In evident that Japan is trying to
pick a quarrel with the United States,
and that conflict IL bound to come,
for IT is the purpose Of the japanese to
drive every white power out Of the Far
East. ] have no doubt that, If Ameri-
ca had strong navy today, your presi-
dents reply TO the mikado's ultimatum
would have had another sound, but,
under the circumstances, the United
States is too weak to risk the loss Of
their prestige in war in which Japan
would have every advantage, and when
you would be unable to defend either
Hawaii or the Philippines.
Germany also has important inter-
ests in the East and, while the German
government will use every effort to
build mighty navy, the defiant atti-
tude Of Japan at many occasions since
Russia's defeat is one Of the principal
reasons.
'These yellow devils, whose civiliza-
tion is Of the most superficial nature
will never cease to cause trouble until
they have been taught severe lesson
with the sword"

MlnIdOka Irrigation Work Is Now
Nearly Finished.
GREAT DAN ALREADY COMPLETE
Desert to be Made Fertile - Work is
Now Well Advanced on Boise
Payette Project,

Washington, Feb. 18. = Progress on
the Boise Payette and Minidoka irriga-
tion projects in Idaho during the fiscal
year ended June 80, 1905, Is extensive
ly reviewed in the fifth annual report
Of the Reclamation service, now in the
hands OF the public printer. II is evil
dent from the report that many diff
culties have been encountered on both
projects, due to the scarcity OF labor
and the high cost Of materials, which
made IL difficult to award contacts on
q favorable basis and made it difficult
for contractors to fulfill their agree
ments. In spite OF delays, however,
the Minidoka project will be ready for
water next spring and the Boise Payette
project will follow along year later.
From the, report it is seen that the
total expenditures on the Minidoka
project up to June 80, 1906, amounted
to 1861 ,s06. The main items are $780,
352 for the main canals, $3.50, ,253 for
the Minidoka dam, spillway and diver
sion channel, and $l75, 900 for the dis
tributing system. This project, upon
completion, will irrigate from l30, 900
to $50, 600 acres Of land in Central
snake river valley, ami ultimately
from $4,000 to 10000 acres additional
will be added when the secretary of the
interior authorizes the construction OF
a pumping system on the south side OF
Snake river.
The Minidoka dam was completed
last fall under contract by Bates 4 Rog-
ers and has proven a complete success.
Very satisfactory progress has been
made by 0rman & Crook and by Hub.
bard & Carlson, contractors on the
main canals, but progress by Monarch
& Porter, who hold part Of this same
contract, has been very slow. Only
2S per cent Of the work under Monarch
& Porter's contract was completed
March /, 1905, but their bondsmer
then assumed charge. increased tn,
force and completed 80 per cent by thu
close Of the fiscal year. The canal viii

FINDS SECRET OF PORCELAIN.
Director OF sevres Rediscovers Pro.
cess Of Making "Tendre" Ware.

Paris, Feb. 12.--M. George Vogt, d.
rector Of the artistic department Of the
national factory OF porcelain, nj sS;esFes,
has just made a discovery which will
entirely change the present art Of por-
celain manufacture.
There are two kinds Of porcelain, the
hard and the "tendre." The secret OF
the manufacture Of the latter was first
discovered by the Chinese and occupied
the attention OF the chemists of all
Europe during the sixteenth, seven
teenth and eighteenth centuries. AT
first all attempts to discover the formu-
Ia were without result, but at last sue
cess was attained, the 'tendre" porce-
lain was discovered and perfected.
This delicate porcelain reigned su.
preme until in 17l0 a new porcelain
was invented in Saxony. This Saxon
porcelain, II less delicate and less rich
in decoration. had the advantage ovel
the "tendre" Of being stronger ant
more pliable. Large objects could b
made in 1t which were not possible IL
the "tendre." Little by little the man
uiacture OF the "tendre" was abandoned
and with 1t disappeared all the charm
ing little objects which could not b
made in hard porcelain. At last tn,
secret was lost and for over centur!
ceramists sought to rediscover it, bu
without success.
Now NJ. vogt has discovered the sec
ret Of making 1t and also how to max
1t more durable and pliable, which vii
enable him to overcome all the Difficult
ties which beset the manufacture of tn
''tendre" in former times.

bringing the car to stop within the

in number, proceeded to give the Ital-
ians fearful beating, The police re-

is that where an officer Is not serving

tion containing the names OF 25 per
cent OF the voters in his district may be
filed asking his resignation. Should
this not be forthcoming, special elec.
tion Is called to elect o successor. Al
the special election the officer whose
resignation Is asked is also a candidate,
and should he not be reelected he
must vacate the Office to the successful
candidate.

which would increase the legislature tc

cepted the report.

tion bill, carrying $2,267, ,070, was

RAILROADS CRUEL TO CATTLE
Government Will Prosecute for vio-

Washington, Feb. l6. = The depart
ment of Justice is about to proceed
against a number of railroads for viola
lations Of the law relating to the ship
ment Of cattle. This law provides that
cattle shipped in interstate commerce
shall not be confined in cars longer
than 2s hours consecutively without
their being unloaded for rest and
water, except that in cases where a re-
quest is previously made the time may
be extended to SO hours.
In many cases, it is alleged, cattle
have been confined in cars without
rest, food or water for so hours, and in
some cases 80 hours. 1t is the purpose
of the government to insist upon the
maximum penalty Of $500.
