AN APPARENT DESIRE TO

French Academy of Medicine

That Has Been Done for Q
Badly Injured Man.
(By Daout De Saint Rene.)

Paris. Sept 2s.-in recent number
the Gil Bias says OF the situation be-
tween the United States and Japan:
The press campaigns in country OF
are always dangerous, and they are
particularly dangerous when they APP
pear to be inspired by desire to
move the nation to an aggressive for
= eign policy. This is what is happen
| ing in North America.
Hardly had the internatic nal distur-
Dances caused by the incident In Cali

terminated by the projects attributed

One moment IL is said that he in
tends to put before the conference ut

ence-the Corean question. the next
| Il Is said that he wants to interfere
| between China and Japan, and then,
again. that he has decided to send
war fleet to the Pacific as a perman-
ent menace to japan. This Is all poll
! tic and can only have the effect OF re-
amimating an agitation which threat
:, ened to shake the peace of the world.
| One thing is certain. Japan Is devei-
oping in an extraordinary manner.
and her commerce and industries are
taking her toward China.
or course the first to suffer from
the extension of Japanese commerce
in the extreme Orient would be the
United States. Germany and England.
for their trade would diminish as that
of Japan increased.
What IL to be done? Nothing, ex-
cept to multiply American and Euro
pean commercial agents and to make
their wares better and cheaper than
their rivals Cannon balls have new
err done SO much for a people as have
the labors OF their commercial men.
And then one has TO be quite certain
that the cannon balls will be sure to
bring victory, thing which Is In no
wise sure for the United States In
case of war with Japan.
From the commercial point OF view
those who know among the Amerf-
cans are convinced that IL is no use
trying to stop the progress OF the ex-
IRENE Orient. They even think that
before long both China and Japan Will
not only be able to provide sufficient
for themselves, but they In their turn
will be able TO export their products
to America and Europe. which they
will be able to sell infinitely cheaper
than those at nome.

'AN Ac0tEasTAGE REACHED

Unless Roads Grant Further conces.

VIII Be Voted on at Once.

Chicago, Feb. 22.--An acute stage
was reached Thursday night in wage
negotiations between Western rail-
roads and $4,000 conductors and train
service employees, which may develop
into a complete severance of relations.
Negotiations have been going on for
nearly month. The men are asking
for an S-hour day and an increase
Of wages OF IL per cent. Thursday
the railroad officials issued a state
ment saying they were willing TO
grant an increase of 8 per cent In
pay and that this was their final an
swer. The union officials reply to
this announcement was that IL such
was the case 1t would be useless to
continue the negotiations looking to
a settlement and that unless the rail
roads were willing to grant further
concessions the question of a strike
would be voted on at once. Late Thurs
day night arrangements were made
for another meeting Friday when q
final effort will be made to come to
a peaceable understanding.

His Efforts to Have Railroads Paid
Only for the Mail Haul
ed Failed.
Observation-Disclosures
Mr.. Macon Considers Some Proceed
inas "MIshty stranse"-How the
Appropriation Bill was Final
ly Passed by tho House

Washington, Feb. 21.--The postok-
flee appropriation bill, the largest
ever reported by the committee on
postoffices and post roads, passed the
house Wednesday. All the provi-
sions relating to increased pay at.
fecting 80 per cent Of the postal en-
ployes which Tuesday were stricken
out on points of order, were Wednes-
day restored to the bill. This action
was accomplished by a rule presented
by the committee on rules after the
bill had been reported to the house by
the committee Of the whole.
An amendment by Mr.. CrumpackeE
Of Indiana fixing at $480 a year the
limit of rent on third class postof.
fees was adopted. This represents
an increase Of $50 per year.
BY a vote of 70 to IA the chair was
sustained in recognizing the point of
order made against the amendment
offered by Mr.. Murdoch of Kansas that
no part Of the sum paid for transport
ing the mails by railroads shall be ex-
pended in payment when the average
weight OF mails per day has been COM
puted by the use Of "divisor less
than the whole number of days such
mails have been weighed"
Mr.. Murdoch declared this amend
ment did not change existing law, but
was limitation. The chair, however,
held otherwise and his decision sus-
tanning the point was supported by the
house. Mr.. Davis Of Minnesota, Mr..
Finley of South Carolina and Mr.
Campbell of Kansas favored the
amendment and 1t was opposed By
Mr.. Snapp Of Illinois.
When the item appropriating $17S-
100000 for the pay of employees Of the
railway mail service was reached
Mr.. Macon Of Arkansas made the point
of order against the paragraph that It
increased salaries.

CAUSES HARDSHIP
Recent Order BY the President Re-
garding Land Entries Not
Popular In the West.
MISUNDERSTANDING
Mr.. steenerson Of Minnesota charac-
terizec II az Boins "As Arbitrary
AZ Any ukase Issued BY
Gar OF Russia"

Washington; Feb. 23.--The house
In committee Of the whole, placed 1t,
self squarely on record Friday In favor
Of limiting the power of special agents
Of the department of the interior by
a vote restricting the use of the ap-
preparation of $250,000 covered by the
sundry civil appropriation bill to pay
the salaries Of such agents. BY vote
Of 104 to ITO the committee adopted
an amendment offered by Mr.. Mondell
| (Wyo.) and debated for two hours.
During the debate the work of the
special agents was severely condemned
and the orders of the president regard
ing final proof on homestead criti-
cised as working unnecessary hard
ships upon settlers.
Mr.. Cushman of Washington in
championing the Mondell amendment,
said he regarded the secretary Of the
interior "as an honorable, honest and
high-minded and well-intentioned,"
but added: II do believe he is suffer-
ing from a very severe case of sus-
picion regarding the integrity of the
people Of the west"
He declared there had been nothing
in the record of these land office inves-
legations to justify this continuous
'cry of calumny" that has been sent
forth regarding the land frauds. II
was true that there have been isolated
and individual cases Of fraud in the
land business, but there had been also
instances Of fraud in the grocery BUS |
mess and fraud in the banking bust
ness and fraud in all other business
and In all avenues Of trade.
1T seems to me the secretary of the
interior is proceeding in these mat
tiers on the assumption that all men
on the western domain are dishonest
until the contrary is proved, and this
| know to be untrue. There is no
reason why the people Of the west
should be watched by herd of pri-
vate detectives. l would like to ask
the gentleman from Illinois who seems
to think 1t is necessary to have these
special agents watching on the men
from my state in order that they may
perpetuate no dishonest act, who is
to guarantee the honesty of the spe-
cial agent?"
Mr.. Cushman said that when a spe-
cial agent starts out from the office
If the secretary Of the interior, "be
IS saturated before he starts with
he idea of fraud. The very exist
,nce Of his job depends upon his find
ng fraud and If he does not find
raud, the necessity for his official
xistence ceases"
As for himself he would rather &C.
ept the statement Of the settlers than
hose of the agent who had been ap-
ointed perhaps from "the suburbs OF
slaughterhouse in Chicago simply
through political influence to investi-
ate the pubic domain Of the coun-
~" :.
