Resolution In the Diet to Ccnsurc
ViscOunt Hayasbi.

Tokyo. Feb. 1S.-The e-mensoran-
dunn Of the Japanese government In
reply to the United States ON the
subject Of emigration was handed to
Ambassador O'Brien today. 1t is un-
derstcod that II agrees in general
terms with a number of suggestions
made by the American government
and requires a further restriction OF
emigration by the practical prohibi-
ton OF laborers. The japanese gov
ernment points out that the restr,c-
tions already in force. including the
closing OF emigration to Canada.
Mexico and the Hawaiian islands.
will make further complaints from
Americas almost impossible.
Every evidence goes to provo that
the japanese government has been
unsparing in its efforts TO avoid fur
ther complications arising from the
emigration question but the govern
msnl is facing powerful opposition
from the emigration companies who
are behind proposed resolution in
the die to censure the foreign policy
OF Visc"unt Hayashi, minister of FER
eign affairs. toward China. lAmer,ca
and Canada.
Should the resolution be intro
'luced in the diet it probably will be
defeated by,a narrow margain. It's
passage would certainly entail the
resignation or the cabinet Should
the cabinet be changed the best in
formed japanese believe that a now
administration would closely follow
the emigration policy Of Minister
Hayashi.
ExAmbassador Aoki, since his ar.
rival has MT called upon the for

sition OF cattle inspector. or tick in

sition.
Mr.. Mann replied to his colleague
And 1t was evident that some feeling
mad developed over this matter be-
tween Oconee's two members.
BY vote Of 81 to 81 the resolution
was rejected.
The veto Of Gov. Ansel Of the Lex

up by Mr.. Sharpe and upon the rep

desired to pass this senate bill.

Blease,s Last Thrust.

The question of no quorum was
ra'scd in the sena.e yesterday after
noon by Senator Blessc and the tusi.
ness OF the upper branch Of the ger.
eral assembly Of the State came to a
standstill until the necessary number
OF members could be secured.
The sergeant-at-arms was directed
by President Mcleod to 20 to the nm
lon station and summon every senator
whom he saw to appear without delay
in the senate chamber and runners
were dispatched to the hotels and va
rious boarding houses in the city,
where senator's are stopping Finally
a quorum was secured and the busi-
ness was not further interferred with.
Senator Blease gave as his excuse
for this action that he would oppose
adopting the report Of the committee
on free conference on the appropria-
ton bill. He opposed increasing the
expenditures for The department of
immigration.
He was soon set straight on this
matter for the report showed that the
committee Of free conference madc
no such recommet Nations. but. on the
other hand, had Topped of $500.
All Of this which might have been
ascertained with little inquiry had
caused number Of senator's to suffer
the Inconvenience OF being brought
back from the union station. where,
with relatives, they had been waiting
for the trains.
The disagreeable situation was soon
smoothed out. and those senator's who
were compelled to go left on the af-
ternoon trains.
The general supply bill. the legisla-
tive supply bill and other measures
went through without a hitch otter
this.

the Lieutenant Governor. Mt. Nc
Leod. saved the bill by his deciding
vote. The friends Of the bill finally
consented to adjourn the debate ON
the measure until tomorrow and with
such an evenly divided Senate IL
looks uncertain what will happen. II
may pass and 1t may not. The wind
up commission Of the dispensary had
all the legislation 1t wanted or sng-

the State.
The most important measure pass-

The report Of the free conference

Is practically the same as the bill arst

Mr.. Btiley made the first speech IN Its

Mr.. Carey made a vigorous lega

that Il Ia not constitutional.
There were numerous other brie,

without coming back, II it could le-
galy do so. but the election cannot
be held until March 4. The general
assembly would finish its work within
the 40 days. and it was not their fault
that the election had to be held in 20
days time He thought it fair to pay
the members their actual expenses.
Senator Bliss insisted that no pro.
vision could or should be made for
this pay. He argued that the constitu-
ton prohibited pay for more than 40
days. absolutely. He would not take
any pay even II offered as the consti-
tuition fixed the pay for 40 days and
no PROVISION was made for any cm-r-
gency or extra allowance.
The amendment was adopted pro.
viding $1,000 for actual expenses in
cidental to the reassembling. The
presiding officers and clerks are to
countersign tho pay warrants. No
liked scale Is provided, but the idea is
to equaltze the pay and pay actual
railroad expenses. The house has
not yet considered this prop osition.
The bill relative to the -e-enroll-
4ent of voters In the State was
agreed upon by accepting the free
conference report. The bill looks to
a general re-enrollment. Senator
Ravsor offered a concurrent resolu-

SOLDIER MAY HAVE
 BEEN MURDERED.
Marks Of Violence Found on
 Dead Mans Body.

Watertown, \. T.. June 27.-The first Plains camp, murder in which race hatred perhaps played part. was re- vealed with the. discovery of the body 5 of Private Wardron Russell, Company K. Twenty fourth infantry, member of the machine gun detail. The negro soldier had been missing since last Sunday, and the condition of the body indicated that the man had been mur- dered, probably on that date, and the body thrown into the river to conceal the crime.
 F. V. Lindell, a resident of Carthage and former member of the Third United States artillery, has given the authorities version of the possible cause of the tragedy. which will be thoroughly investigated.
 When the negro soldiers detailed to provost guard duty arrested a band composed of white cavalrymen of the regular service and nearly all drunk in Carthage last Saturday night" said Lindell. "one or the troopers told the colored infantrymen that he would kill one of them to get even"
 Another member of Company K of the Twenty fourth infantry, a comrade of Russell's, with whom he was last seen alive. also is missing. The mili- tary authorities have ordered an ex- haustive search for this man. There appears to be a difference ot opinion between military and civil au thorities over the death of Russell. The military authorities. believe that Russell was murdered, but the coroner has expressed an opinion that the man was drowned. A postmortem examina- tion will be held to ascertain the cause of death.

Rolls In Agony After Trying
 Sample of Ale. ..

Philadelphia, June 2I.-with every appearance of having been strangely poisoned. W. H. Wilson, a physician residing in the northeren section of the city, was suddenly stricken at his home and died shortly after being admitted to hospital.
 The physician and his wife were sit ting together when the former sug- gested they try sample of ale which had been sent to him. According to the information secured by the authori- ties. the physician commented on the peculiar taste of the beverage and a few moments after drinking 1t rolled from his chair in agony. He soon be- came unconscious, and all efforts to re- vive him failed.
 Physicians at the hospital to which pr. Wilson was taken say that in their examination of the patient they found traces of poison. A sample of the ale which Dr Wilson drank has been taken for analysis. and the authorities have started rigid investigation.
