JAPAN TOO POOR TO FIGHT.
Chairman Hull, of the Military Com

mittee, Doesn't Expect a Clash.
Des Moines, Iowa.-"The probable
ity of war between Japan and the
United States is extremely remote"
said Congressman J. I. Hull, chair
man of the House Committee on Mill
tary Affairs. "The ruling powers in
Japan do not seek war, and it is GER
tain that the United States prefers
peace. OF all the greater nations in
the world Japan is the least prepared
lessly into conflict for small causes.
"a nation needs money and lots of
it to engage in a war. She must be
in a position to borrow vast sums.
Japan is in no such a position, but is
heavily in debt Is a result of the
Russian-Japanese war. She borrowed
money from all quarters of the globe
and received no indemnity from Rus
STA.
Japan is truly hard up. She has
pledged her taylS on many products
and other ReveH to keep up the
necessary payme on money already
borrowed, andMHl stion in the world
would think Of lending her money
under these aitioAs. and not espe-
clally to engage in war with this
country.
I'm the next place England, which
has formed an offensive as well as
defensive alliance with Japan, would
never ~countenance a war with the
United States; at least she would alb
solutely not become involved. Japan
would need the support of ome na-
ton such as England, and that she
could never secure in a war with is.
However, l am heartily in favor
of Immediately fortifying the Philip
pine Islands and Hawaii. This ma
ton has a great deal of land, but 1
do know that the United State will
never be Inundated by having any
nation take one single foot of that
land, and more than 100000 men
are ready to lay down their lives to
prevent that humiliation. Japan
knows this"

Small sores appeared on each Of my

The eruptions by this time had appeared

NASHVILLE. Tenn, March %
The fight ever abolishlng saloons
from LaFollette- was wound up in
short order in the Senate this morn
ing. A compromise offered by ex-
Gov Cox to have the saloons closed
out on November LIST, the date they
go out of Knoxville and Bristol, was
acceptable to all parties and the bill
was so amended and passed.
An effort was made, it being the
fourth of the kind, to postpone the
consideration of the election bills,
which have been made a special or
der for next Monday along with bank
ing and pure food measures, but the
motion to displace the election bills
with the general appropriation bill
failed Ex-Gov. Cox who was instru
mental in having the election laws
set as a special order, led the fight
this morning against having them dis
placed.
The House passed the bill making
a paling fence woven with wire law

The bill allowing travelling expenses
for the judges and attorneys general
was debated at considerable length |
and finally tabled after a somewhat |
heated consideration.
The general appropriation bill was
then taken up for further considera-
ton in committee OF the whole.

the Supervising Architect of the
Treasury Department, three young
white craftsmen in the vicinity got W
and walked out OF the office, with the
understanding that they would be

upon their action about seventy other
white employees have signed a petition
asking that Cook be summarily trans

characterizing his presence as demon
alizing to the service and distasteful
to the entire Office.
II was said this morning by several
of those familiar with the attitude of
the petitioners that, if those in auth
GRITTY do not give favorable considera-
tion to this petition, a walkout of the
entire force is probable. This force
includes some of the most skilled and
highly paid men in the Government
service, who have been with the De-
partment for years, as well as many
others who have recently been added
to the Department.
Owing to increased work in this de-
partment 1t was said that it became
necessary last week to call upon the
civil service lists for additional drafts
men. Cooks name was selected. as he
passed the required examination. 1t
was said this morning that the on |

fact that Cook was colored. He was |
put to work, but as soon as he was |

The moon, just peeping above the
