especially now. when Japan is open to
misrepresentation by alarmists abroad.
The general feeling here among the
well informed, while naturally indig-
nant over the San Francisco occur
renee, is little concerned about it in
particular. II. is believed here that the
general attitude of the American gov
eminent at this moment must be one

Japan remembers gratefully its obi

it would be a mistake to think that a

NEVADA PREFERS QUIET
Ou:tiee Pressure and Distractions
Absent in Small Capitals.

Carson, New, Feb. 6.-(SpeciaD.-
when the capital of Nevada was To-
Gated at Carson City this place was
the largest in the state" said Secretary
Douglas. "Since other places have
surpassed it, the principal advantage
I see is that large cities are often
prone to regard the state capital as a
sort Of personal adjunct and influence
legislation too much. This is averted
when the capital is located in one of
the smaller towns. Frequently dele
cations come here from the larger
cities to find that the legislators are
free from the bias which naturally re-
suits from the associations Of the
greater towns.
The other state officials, with the ex-
ception of the governor, favor the
smaller cities for the capital and the
chief executives opinion is due to the
fact that he does not desire to leave
the larger place to make his home
here. The legislators generally claim
that better work can be done in the
smaller and quieter place and they
would oppose the moving of the CAPT
tai from the present location largely
on that account.
Lieutenant Governor Dickinson says:
zone of the prime ideas in the location
OF a capital should be the influences
which will result upon the legislators.
Where the capital is a large city too
often the wants and fights Of the city.
backed by the all powerful press and
public sentiment, results in bad legis-
lation for the state. 1t has ever been
the character Of cities to take what
ever is possible and there is no change
when it comes 20 legislation. Away
from these influences better results can
be obtained and expressions freer from
passion and prejudice. I say this. al
though I am from one OF the large
cities Of the state"

The proposition to tax the people Of
the State Of Maine to the extent Of
$4,000 this year for the purpose of
furthcring the work at the University
of Maine. met with determined OPPOSE
ton in the hearing in the House Thurs
day afternoon and was the subject Of
several flights of oratory. Into the dis
cussion of the propriety of giving the
university this unusual amount of
money, has been interjected the dis
cuss.on of the propriety of granting
the degree of A. Is. by this institution.
y hen there are already three other in
stitutions in the State granting that
degree.
The hearing was largely attended by
friends of the university and the other
three institutions and every word of
the arguments was followed with the
greatest interest and the closest atten-
ion.
Hon. Henry Lord of Bangor. chair
man of the board of trustees Of the Uni
yersity Of Maine, conducted the case
for the supporters Of the university ard
in opening spoke of the sale Of the 30
600 acres Of wild land which had been
set aside by the State for the uniVer-
sity. at 5jIs cents per acre. He then
went on to speak of the growth of the
institutions; of the complaint that the
state College was educating boys from
other states and in defence of the lat

Talk Of War the Japanese Re-
gard as Ridiculous.
Quiet Relgns In Mikado's Capital,
Despite Reports.

Toxic, Feb. IA report from the
United States that the Privy Council
had met Tuesday to consider a dis
patch from Washington is received
with great surprise ana some indigna ;
ton here. The Associated Press is in
position to state that the subject OF
elaboration was the amended imperial
house law, the result of years of hard
work by special commission under
the presidency of Marquis Ito and Vice
Presidency OF Baron Niyoji, assisted
by several prominent jurists.
Should American relations assume a
gravity warranting a special meeting
of the Privy Council. the fact would
not escape the attention of the press
correspondents. AS has been previous
~ cabled, quiet reigns, despite alarnist
reports in America. The idea that
Japan would seek a war with the Unit
ed States is considered ridiculous.
There is no doubt that among the
immigrants to Hawaii there are some
who served in the Russian war, but
the report of an elaborate organization
prepared to act in an emergency is
criticized as simply a demonstration
Of sheer ignorance
The Hochi Shimbun, which has been
the most outspoken of the Japanese
papers in expressing Indignation at the
action Of the San Francisco authori-
ties. regrets the Misrepresentation of
facts transmitted to America regard
ing the meeting of the Privy Council.

such news without such full inquiry

CENTRAL LOCATION IMPORTANT
Governor Conner Holds it Large Factor
in Locating State Capital.

Montgomery. Ala, Feb. 6.-(Spe-
CiaD.-That the size of city in
which the capital of n state is located
Is not of so much Importance as the
convenience of its locality and its
railroad facilities is the opinion of
Governor Conner of Alabama
1.-THE state capital" said he, to-
day, should be as a general PROPOSE
ton as near the centre of the State as
possible making its evenly accessible
to the various counties. Expenses Of
those whose business constantly
brings them to the capital should be
in the mind Of the authorities settling
the locality of State House and then
money Is saved for the state in paying
mileage of those of its employees who
are forced to travel in the discharge Of
their duties"
"a capital should be railroad
centre, a city that can be reached
easily, thus saving time for the per-
sons who are called to the seat OF
government OF course a large city
has the advantage CT having more
ample hotel accommodations and the
ability to take care of great crowds
which are often called to the political
centre Of the State. and this should
also be borne in mind"

The Hon. O. E. Clason OF Gardiner

that there were twice as many profess

DELAWARE LIKES DOVER.
II 10 Central, While Big Wilmington is
At One End Of State.

Dover Del, Feb. 6.-(SpeciaD.-The re
tention Of the state building at Dover.
the capital Of Delaware, by the farmers
In the last constitutional convention OF
Delaware in 1897. was for no other pur-
pose than to have central place in tho
state where it would be convenient for
all members elected to the legislature to
assemble. While Delaware has a large
city OF hundred thousand inhabitants
in Wilmington, it is so located in the ex-
IRENE northern part of the state. almost
on the boundary line of Pennsylvania
and not many miles from the Maryland
line. The location Of the capital in that
city would work a great hardship to the
members from the extreme southern part
OF the state. 1t would take some OF them
at least half day to get there. while at
Dover. the present capital is easily
reached from any part of the state by
train. allowing the members to come and
go at their convenience. arriving always
In time for the sessions OF the legisla-
ture.
That the present location of the capi-
tai is satisfactory to the governor Of this
state was evidenced by what he said here
today, when. as well as other state ON
GERS, he pointed out the central location
OF Dover. the easy access coming and
going from all points in the state, and
also the fact. inasmuch as the pres
ent state administration is p-acticirg
economy in the management of state
affairs. it Is deemed inadvisable to make
any changes. however great the promises
might be on the part of those living in
the north part Of the state. especially
those residing in Wilmington, Delawares
metropolis. 1t would be impossible how
ever. under the existing circumstances
In this state, to remove the capital OF
Delaware without an amendment to the
state constitution, which at the present
time is very remote.
While Delaware is small state. some
parts of 1t. especially the southern part
being still i'll the rough. and travelling
and getting to railroad stations is exceed
inSly difficult in the winter time. when
the weather is disaCrenable end when the
trains often arc delayed. For this reason
at present is forty-eisht miles from tho
city OF Wilmington. the extreme north
ern point of the state. and forty-eight
miles from Dnlmar. the southern extrem-
ity. allowing from points either north or
south sufficient time to any railroad sta
tioh. is desirable and no change is wished
nor will there likely be any.
