Washington.-Whe the mayor, as

Washington this week to discuss the
segregation OF Japanese children in
the public schools they will be firmly
yet decorously ushered up against q
choice between two evils, the lesser OF
which obliging officials at the White
House will commend. AT the outset
the visiting Californians will be made
acquainted with the text of the pro-
posed Japanese exclusion treaty, which
the senate will consider In an extra ses-
sion, now practically agreed upon. The
Japanese treaty will provide for the ex-
clusion Of japanese coolies, who are
swarming to the Pacific coast in in
creasing numbers, from the United
States and of American laboring men
from Japan. But Japan wants boot
before agreeing to the treaty, and San
Francisco must furnish it in the shape
of admitting Japanese pupils to the
public schools along with native white
children.
There seems at present no other way
to successfully negotiate the proposed
treaty, and the president, as well as
Secretary Root, will urge upon Califor-
mans their duty to bow their necks to

Discussing the latest railroad deal,

to be about to take over the Mobile,

that with B. +. Yoakum controlling

be no doubt OF its future.
In connection with this deal there are
those who have been in touch with and

are looking for developments in connec-
zion with that port, and Il seems n
natural inference, taken in connection

THE STORY,

TT WAS in the days before they
1 had king in Israel and when
every man was a law unto himself.
Then 1t was that each family and
each tribe protected its own and each
eXacted of the other an eve for an
eye and a tooth for tooth. In those
days the law of the blood atonement
prevailed in the land. so that if one
should slay by chance or intent an
other. the one nearest of kin of the
slain person must act as his avenger.
and take the life of the one who had
caused his death. Needless TO saw
that this custom in the case of accl.
dental murder wrought its hardship
and Injustice. and in order that Just
Ice and mercy might be extended to
the one who. through accident. had
caused the injury or death of an
other. the Lord directed that cities of
refuge should be appointed whittier
the slayer might flee and. II guiltIess
OF the intended murder of his brother.
should find safe shelter.
When Joshua had made known to
the people the mind of the Lord con
corning this thing, the question arose
as to which cities should be chosen.
and 1t was finally agreed that six
should be appointed. three on the
east side of Jordan and three on the
west side. Caleb took deep interest
in the matter. and in the council of
the elders which had met TO consider
the question he said:
Brethren, thou knowest how, over
10 years ago. when the Lord brought
us to the borders of this land. the
people refused to enter, declaring
that they were not able to overcome
the giants in the land And thou
knowest how, since our coming hither
after the long, weary years in the will
derness, that the sons of Anak. whom
our people feared. have been des-
troyed and their city is now among
the possessions of the children of Is
rael. Thou knowest. too. how it was
given TO me as a heritage and how il
was only after fierce conflict that the
city was taken, so that the stronghold
OF our enemies might become an
habitation for our people Now, there
fore. because of its location and its
history, desire that Hebron he
chosen as one of the cities OF refuge"
"What?" they asked. in surprise.
You want to give up Hebron, which
Is SO strong of location, and cost Won
SO much to conquer"
That | do. brethren" was the
ready reply. and l will tell you why.
In the silence of the midnight hour
on yesternight there came a vision
to me as lay on my couch. In nv

Vicksburg, Miss.-Capt. Hoffman has

and the news is reassuring from every
where except for the heavy mud on the

is being done. The government steamer
Chisca was sent out of here today by
Capt. Hoffman, having in tow several
barges and quarter boats, which are be-
ing taken up the river to be placed
where they are needed. On one of these
quarter boats there are $50 convicts that
came from New Carthage and will be
stationed above here, where they can be
had in case of emergency to do work on
the levees. On the whole the conditions
generally are more reassuring today than
