APOLOGIZE, OR FIGHT JAPAN.
Viscount TAM Seems to Have a Chip
on His Shoulder.

Toxic, June 12.-Viscount TAM,
leader Of the opposition in the house
of peers and hero of the defense of
Kumamoto in the Satsuma rebellion,
is reported to have said about the
American question:
"The persecution of the Japanese in
San Francisco is a most wicked act.
Should diplomacy fail to bring about a
satisfactory solution the only way
open to us is an appeal to arms Our
mind is firmly made up. It is certain
that America will yield, for it's people
are radically commercial in their SEN
timent."
How much Viscount TAM repre-
sents public sentiment here is difficult
to estimate at the present time.

FEDERATE CENTRAL REPUBLIC.
Plans Have Taken Definite Form
Convention to Be Held


Convention to Be Held.
Plans for the federation of the five
Central American republics have at
last taken definite form. If the ideas
of those interested materialize a con-
gress will be held in Mexico City,
which will be attended by over 240O
delegates. One hundred and fifty of
these will be Central Americans now
resident in this republic, and the re-
mainder will be regularly appointed
delegates from each Of the five repub-
lies. DR.. Francisco Reyes, former min
lister to Mexico from Salvador, is the
leader of the movement. He will
shortly visit each of the Central
American republics to explain the
situation.
Lack of Official Character.
One drawback is the lack of official
character which the meeting may
have to overcome. The leaders hope
they can prevail upon President Diaz
to call the meeting. While President
Diaz has emphatically announced that
Mexico does not maintain the idea of a
protectorate for the settlement of
Central American troubles, it is ar
gued that the mere calling of the
meeting would in no way nullify
Mexico's previous declaration, and
would give the assembly the desired
standing.
The question of federation could
fhnra hn cnff1nI hxy fhn Tonfro1 oarsf-
cans themselves.
Gomez of Nicaragua to See Diaz.
In this connection a significant tel
egram was received here tonight. 1t
says that Senior Gomez, who is the
confidential agent of President Zelaya
of Nicaragua, will leave New Orleans
tomorrow for Mexico City, where he
will confer with President Diaz. The
promoters of the congress believe that
much hinges on this conference. The
telegram says Fernando Sanchez, for
mer minister of foreign relations of
Nicaragua to Ecuador, Venezuela and
Salvador, will leave New York for
this city as the accredited minister to
Mexico from Nicaragua.
Luis Felipe Corea, minister of Mic
aragua to the United States, is also
accredited to Mexico, but it is said the
coming of Sanchez will nullify this
arrangement and Senior Corea will be
the representative to the United
States only.
The Mexican government knows
nothing officially of this arrangement
DR.. Reyes will call a meeting OF
resident Central Americans Monday
A manifesto will be drawn setting
forth the proposed federation plans
The manifesto will be adopted and DR.
Reyes will be delegated to push the
plan in Central America.

The Tipping Nuisance.

The Missouri Legislature has passed
bill making it misdemeanor to tip a
waitefor Pullman porter. The penalty
Is fine OF not less than five dollars nor
more than two hundred. The tipping
business is getting to be very decided
nuisance. A man who travels must
reckon on about 25 per cent. Of his ex-
penses in tips. II he doesn't tip the
waiter at any OF the leading hotels
where he happens to take a meal the
whole force of colored gentlemen will
give your waiter the laugh and put you
down as jay who doesn't understand
the decencies OF life. And the truth is
that, In many places, walters depend
entirely on tips as payment for their
services. This sort OF graft Is so profit
able In some of the big hotels that q
waiter actually pays for the privilege
OF working. He gets his compensation
BY working" the guests The average
man doesn't want anybody to work for
him for nothing and the possibility that
the waiter is receiving no other wages
makes you feel that you ought to tip
him. 1t is bad custom but 1t Is doubt
fulfil 1t can be cured by legislation, for
the reason that man ought to have
the constitutional right to give bis own
money to whom he pleases.

LITTLE DISORDER AT LoRAlN.
shipyard Strikers Said to Be Leaving
for Other Cities.

Z Lorain, o., April S.-There was no
sign of disorder Saturday morning in
connection with the strike of the en-
ployes of the American Shipbuilding
company. Later in the day crowd
of strikers attempted to hold up a
wagon carrying load of bread to the
shipyards. When the driver refused
to halt volley of stones and clubs
was thrown at him The driver drew
revolver and the strikers retreated.
According to one of the striking
shipbuilders the union has ceased to
pay benefits, and as result many of
the men are absolutely penniless.
A large number of the strikers have
applied at the local plant of the
United States Steel corporation for
employment. When it was learned,
however, according to the statement
of the applicants, that the men were
strikers from the shipyards they were
refused work. 1t is stated that many
of the strikers have already left the
city and others are preparing to go
elsewhere for employment.
The members of the local company
of the Ohio national guard are still
on duty at their armory.

Twice as Many Severely Injured ir
Storm That Sweeps Three States.

New Orleans, April 8.-Fully rs
deaths and more than twice as many
severe injuries resulted from Fri
days tornado through Louisiana, Mis-
sissippi and Alabama. Less than half
of those killed were white persons.
Among the last bodies found were
those of a man and woman at Alex
andria, La.
The experience of being caught by
the tornado in the middle of the Mis-
sissippi on a stern-wheel packet is
described by Louis Knopp, who was
aboard the Betsy Ann.
THE smokestack and stage plank
were blown away in a jiffy," said Mr..
Knopp, land the boat began tossing
from side to side like cradle. I'm
a pretty strong man, but the wind
was so terrific at one time that it was
all l could do to keep hold on the
railing of the boat. At the same
time was lodging flying timbers and
broken glass. The pilot turned the
boats bow toward the bank and man
aged to drive her nose into the levee,
but by this time the upper works of
the steamer were barely able to stand
alone"
The women passengers were safely
landed on the levee with the aid of a
skiff.
