ACCORDING to a dispatch from Rome
a member of the political police
squad of that city, exclusively intru'ted
with the surveillance of anarchists, has
submitted novel plan for identifying
"Reds" throughout the world. He
proposes to tattoo the anarchists on a
visible part of the body with small
indeIible sign varying in color in the dif'
ierent countries and in shape, according
to the dangerous propensities OF the To-
diyidual marked. The sign is to be
kept secret and known only to the inter-
nal police. 1t is asserted by this system
the police would be enabled to watch
the anarchists and thus prevent attacks
similar to that made upon Chief Shippy,
in Chicago. The plan is said to have
been opposed by the authorities of Rome
It might, however, be improved. To-
stead of placing secret sign upon such
outlaws, it should be made plain and
prominent so that they might be known
and read of all men.

Today's Telegraphic News


London, Mar. The question of wsr
or pesce between China and japan prob
ahly hinges on the outcome Of the cabI-
net meeting in progress in Toxic now.
Should the minister decide on an ulti-
nahum Ia the Tatsu Maru matter there
would slill be the chance that China
might yield, but British government
officials incline rather to the opinion that
the Pekiu government, believing hostii-
tiles Inevitable SCORER or later, will deem
this as good time as any for 9 trial at
arms. II is real:zsd that China can not
Isil 10 appreciate how far she is out
classed by Japan as q military power.
She undoubtedly counts, however, on
The Mikado's present financial emosr-
rassment TO guarantee her against pro-
longed campaign and probably regards
the chances at least even that Toxic,
realizing the acutentss of the japanese
money siriDgency, does not resllI meal
10 fight at all out is simply trying TO
brighten the celestial empire into a sur
render which will strengthen the Toxic
cabinet and oofHspondlngly weaken the
prestige of the Chinese.
The elder atesmen's policy ofdelsy,
on The ground that the worlds sym
p,thy is with China and Japan, is 10 no
condition for war, is not cor sidered parii-
culsily TeassuTing.
Ia view of the fact that the Tatsu mat
ter is regarded IS not more than pre-
text for japanese pressure upon the
Chinese, not much attention is paid to
Diplomatic assurances that the dispute is
too lriyisl 10 warrant hOstili'ies.
JAPAN's ULTIMATUM
Toxic. Mar. The Mikado has sent
demand 10. Pekin for immediate sur
reuder of the Tstsu Msru, the Japanese
steamship recently seiz d ty China for
smuggling arms to Chinese reoel', for sn
ample apology and for full indemnify.
1t ia made clear that neither delay nor
further counter propositions will be toll
Grated. If the demand is refused China
is warned that Japan will act at once.
The message amounts to an ultimatum.
It followed q meeting OF the Cabinet and
may, therefore, be accepted ss deliberate
and the result of confederation by the
entire government. Unless China yields
there seems no alternative but war.

Mp teller in the senste yesterday

Mr.. TELLER in the SeDste yesterday
made a statement, the truth OF which
cannot be controverted, and which all
good citizsus who have the welfare OF
their country at heart should read, learn,
mark and inwardly digest. He sounded
a warning when he said "Nobody can
sneer me down by saying there Is no
danger in this country from the uSurPs-
ton of power by the executive" The
army pay bill was under consideration,
and an amendment had just been adopt
ed, striking out the provision which
authorizes the President to fix the pay
Of enlisted men in the army within 8
limit of 40 per cent, as he has been en-
nowered to do with respect to the navy.
Senator Teller made vigorous protest
AGAINST statement made recently in the
Senate TO the effect that the members OF
the constitutional convention did not
have call the wisdom in the world. "
He held that while they may not have
had "all the wisdom in the world" they
were better qualified than any other men
have ever been to draw up the constltu-
ton of this country, aud he declared
that if there is any danger ahead OF this
country it comes from disregard OF the
constitutional limitations. Continuing
he said
1t may not be popular in these days,
when there is a disposition to amend
the constitution by legislation and ju-
dicisl construction, to say these things:
| wish to say that the contest Of
the ages has been against the grasp OF
executive power and Just so long as we
keen distinct the lines between executive
and legislative power the future OF this
Young republic will be safe. We have
had sppeals from the executive depart
ment OF this government that the execu-
tive power be increased by legislative Oh
judicial construction.
