 Speech on Immigratien.
 Tokto. Jan. 2S.--The program for to- day's session. of the Diet Including the speech of Foreign Minister Viscount Hayaalr4, regarding the immigration question was suddenly changed, and the ppeech was postponed until Jan. 30. when 1t is expected that viscount Hay ashi will outline definitely the plans of the Government for the restriction of immigration to- America and Can" ada.
 It is understood that the postpone meat was due to the fact that reply from the American Government to the Iast menaorapdum from Japan was ex- pected to be handed to che Foreign Off, flee this afternoon. Since the delivery sof It's last memorandurn, the Japan ese Government has Issued the most stringent instructions to all Govern ors and other oficials concerning the regulations of future immigration along the lines of the future definite policy of restriction which includes the pre- vention of emigration Of laborers to given conditions, which wsl1 be satis- factory to the Governments of both of those countries No laborers will be permitted to emigrate to Mexico.
 Evidence of the determination of the Japanese Government is shown by an official order issued to emigration com panies today. where in all emigration to the Hawaiian Islands is absolutely prohibited, except in the case of rele- tives of Japanese already residing there. The order bearing on emigration to the Hawaiian Islands has created constarnation among the emigration companies, who expected to institute q virulent attack upon the Foreign Of ice policy in this respect.
 Viscount Hayashi however. is de- termlned not to yield and says that the Japanese Government having given a promise, will not recede from :t.. re- gardless of political pressure. ..

They say also that their pupils have re' sisted the attempts of some of the Chi nese ssrcret societies to wean them from their new faith and that those who have once entered the church % not use opium. never gsmole and are ali moral and law abiding.

In this town the ''Chu" family is powerful, and 1t, so happens thst the Chus and their friends and relatives have made the Fifth Avenue Church their special educational and spiritual center in New York. A number of graduates returned to Ha Jo and in very snort time the home school had word of the opening of a school with their fcr- nler pupils as teachers. In these cfooIs, English is taught. but Chris tianity is the prime object.

mary wear their pIg-tatIs and the loose flowing garments of the Celestial, but the pupils in the upper grades are garbed like Americans. To each pupil there Is one teacher and the lnstrue- tion is entirely individual.
 Many former pupils who have mas tered English and have joined the par ent church return each Sunday to act as interpreters and teachers for the beginners who cannot speak word of English, or even read Chinese. The first effort is to give them enough English to understand the Christians message which is to be given to them later. Primers and readers giving words of one syllable with their meaning in Chinese characters are em- ployed, and for those who read Chi nese, as the greater part do. for edu- cation Is held in great respect fin China. the work Is comparatively easy, and in two or three years the pupils acquire talking ability and some writing knowledge. The religious teaching, which Is the primary object of the school, Is done by simple earnest ex- position of the essentials Of Christian ity, occasional addresses translated in- to Chinese the repeating of simple praYers, the singing of hymns fin Eng fish, and finally the singing of the doxoiogy and other hymns in Chinese. The singing of an English hymn in Chinese gives a most strange effect, for the reason that Chinese music Is very different from any other and the teachers are under the necessity not merely of teaching a translation Of the words, but have to train the ear and voice of their charges to an en- tirely new musical scale. In this school which was started in 1SS6 with the approval of the late Dr. John Hail, and has been continually under the superintendencyS of William Camp bell. assisted by Miss c. Q. Hall. an earnest worker among the Chinese, and a corps of volunteer assistants, more than 1000 Chinese have come into con- tact with Christianity. The effect of this early work is becoming very are now sending their sons over from China to be trained in this place.

The clerk held up another row of puffs
That's worse" remarked the other
chummy woman.
The customer looked obviously at the
puffs and laid them on the counter. and
the clerks voice rang out like war cry:
1T is SO match, It's the dead color OF
my hair and mines just the dead colcr OF
hers"
The customer didn't seem to enjoy this
comparison. for she selected another sau-
sage of puff and held it against her
pompadour.
"Nuh-uh" objected one of the chummy
women.
She said it with such intense concern
that the other chummy woman gave a
sudden short laugh and, grabbing her
compa MON, showed off into the crowd.
When they were through the storm doors
ard on the pavement she remarked, cas-
ually:

One youngish man who had just got off
a car was even kinder. for he not only
scurred around until the last apple was
gathered. but he helped the woman to
tuck as many as possible into tie over
