- Washington special to the Chicago
Record Herald: All Japanese emigra-
tion to the United States is to be stop
ped by the Japanese government.
When the Japanese diet meets few
weeks hence Baron Komura, minister
of foreign affairs will make official an
nouncement that the government has
decided to prohibit all emigration to
the United States after given date.
Thus will disappear the last remaining
difference or possible cause of trouble
between the United States and Japan.
Though the announcement in Toxic
may be made upon the assumption that
the Japanese government, has Volun-
tarily decided upon this course, as a
matter of fact the decision was reached
through a long series of negotiations
between Secretary Root and Baron
Takahira, the Japanese ambassador TO
the United States. The order of the
Japanese government will prohibit all
emigration, but will, of course, leave
travel free, so that merchants, students
and tourists from Japan may visit
America at will under the passport
agreement with the United States gov
ernment.

that floats on its surface. The bounda-
ries of the area, which are Of an irreg-

that of Continental Europe, are some
what variable but are described as be-
ing between the parallels Of 20 and 35
fs ssrees north and between the meridians
and 80 and 60 degrees west. Into 1t is
collected a large proportion of the drift,
or wreck age, which floats about the
North Atlantic. This sea, or more ex-
actly the sargasso which formed it, is
now reported to have disappeared.
This report is made by the captain of
the British steamer, "Hornby Castle"
which stopped at Norfolk, Va, last
week en- route from Vera Cruz to
Glasgow. He says the sea, once mark
ed by mesheS Of seaweed, and dotted
with numerous drifts and wrecks is
now a broad eXpanse of clear water.
The report has been forwarded to
Washington, and will be investigated.

- Washington, December 16: The
senate devoted considerable time yes
terday to a discussion of the presidents
course in placing structures on con-
gress in the matter Of the secret SER
vice and adopted a searching resolution
proposed by Mr.. Aldrich and amended
upon the suggestion Of MI Culberson,
providing for Il thorough investigation
by the committee on appropriations of
the presidents charges, both in res
pect to the facts and the course that
should be taken by congress to resent
the imputations believed TO have been
cast upon that body. Mr.. Aldrich in
introducing his resolution made no
comment upon it, but Senators Bailey,
Bacon, Tillman, Culberson and others
declared that the presidents words
should be resented by the senate as
highly insulting. Mr.. Hale said that
while he would prefer having the reso-
luton go TO some other committee
than Of that which he is the head, yet
