Pekin, March 10-The incident of
the Tatsu Maru, the Japanese steamer
that was held up by the Chinese au-
thOrities on February off Macao, in
the belief that the cargo of arms and
ammunition on board were intended
for chinese revOlutioniSts, has not yet
been fully settled. Baron Hayaski
the Japanese Minister to China, had a
conference with Yuan Shih Kai, Grand
Councillor of the Empire. but they
failed to reach an understanding on
the question of the release of the
steamer. which is still held by China,
and with regard to the indemnity.
China has. however, given satiSfac-
ton regarding the hauling down OF
the national nag on the Tatsu Maru
by Chinese officers, and Baron Hay
ask assured China would meet her
desires regarding supervision of the
traffic in arms to China territory. He
agreed, also, to the Chinese proposal
for the ultimate disposition Of the
cargo of the Tatsu Maru, after which
he again set forth the final demands
Of his Government.
In view of the present status of the
negotiations final action by Japan will
of necessity have to be referred for at
least two days.

vides that a car shall be loaded or un
loaded by shipper within forty-eighr
hours. If after this time the shipper
has not finished his work, the railroad
company charges him demurrage al

inspection.
LAW WILL NOT BE

Beveridge Amendments Are
Considered Good BY Many,
But Agricultural Committee
Sees No Need of Change.

Washington. March 10.-The meat
July !, 1906, will not be changed in
any respect at this session of con-
gress. The two amendments proposed
by Senator Beveridge. one providing
that the expense of inspection shall be
paid by the packers and the other pro
viding that the date of the canning
shall be placed on all canned meats,
have some friends in each branch OF
the legislative body, but the agriCul-
tural committee which have to do with
the subject, see no good reason for
making any changes. According to
the Bureau of Animal Industry in the
Agricultural department, which super

federal inspection system is now about

hope to make ir
A. D. Melvin. chief of the bureau of

states and municipalities will make

left open.
Should Watch the Markets.
"After the federal government has
gone to SO much trouble and expense" ,"
said Mr.. Melvin, Ito provide the citi-
zens of this and other countries with a
wholesome meat supply, it becomes
the duty of the housewife and the chef
to examine the meat after its receipt
from the retail dealer to determine if
it is still clean and wholesome and to
keep it SO until ready to serve.
That the inspection of meats is ev-
en- more necessary at the smaller than
at the larger plants of the country is
indicated by the comparative results
of cattle inspection at these two class
es Of plants. Relatively twice as many
cattle We're condemned for tubercu-
lOsis at the smaller plants, and near
ly twice as many for all causes.
Killed Without Inspection.
'It may with reason be supposed
that the local slaughter-hOuse needs
inspection even more badly than the
small plants now under federal super
vision. The boast of home grown
and home killed. formerly often heard
is empty. Homegrown may be all
right, but it is sometimes dangerous,
as when the local butchers supplies
are drawn from the surrounding dairy
herds, since the cattle of such he rds
are particularly acceptable to tubercu-
loSis. Too often, too, this phase
means that the killing is done in a
small, poorly equipped slaughter
house, without running water and
without sewerage, and where the
word sanitation is unheard and un-
known

Call Upon Science.
Wayne county has always raised
good corn crops and the soil is ideal

not satisfied. They are of the opinion
that by being taught all the fine points
in regards to corn culture, ii will be
possible TO produce corn in Wayne
county which will equal the best corn
grown in the world. 1t is for this pur,
pose that the Wayne county farmers
have decided TO call upon science for
assistance.

Prof. G.. |. Christie of Purdue univer-
sity, recognized ali over the United

eals. He will deliver lectures point
ing out the proper method of corn cul.
ture and the benefits TO be derived

this cereal. The farmers realize that
by improving the quality of corn rails

of which is an improved grade of live
stock.

CLOSER SUPERVISION
OVER PRESS BUREAU.
This Feature of War Secre-
tary's Campaign Made a
BIunder as Is Seen by the
Statements Published.

Washington. March 10.-A policy of
repression, or at least of closer super
vision than heretofore has been pur-
sued, will be applied to the literary
or publicity feature of Secretary Taft's
campaign for the republican presjden-
tial nomination. The secretary was
sent out from the Columbus bureau,
evidently with the design to create
the impression that the secretary, if
elected would pursue a decidedly diff
ferent course from Mr.. Roosevelt with
respect to certain corporate interests
of the country Incorporated in the
document were various editorial utter
of New York, in which it was stated:
Mr. Taft's record is distinctly
continue Mr.. Roosevelt's methods: {:
there is a temperameutal difference in
the two men. Mr.. Taft has manifest
ed a thoughtful attitude in his judg-
ment and great deliberation and CON
sideration i'll his action. 1t is not con-
ceivable that a man of his force of
character would be controlled when in
full power of the presidency by any
outside personality" meaning Mr..
Roosevelt.
Although the opinions eXpresSe
were not necessarily those of the sec
retary's managers or literary agents
at Columbus. still the fact that they
were being disseminated from his
headquarters in that city could reason
ably be interpreted as an Endorsement
of them by men Identified with his
presidential canvass.
That, at any rate. was the view
which the secretary of war took, and
soon after he reached his office at the
war department he put in call for
Arthur |. NOrNs, his manager at Co,
lumbuS. When he got him on the long
distance telephone he made some
pointed inquiries about the pamphlet
and attcrWaru announced that Mr.
Norys had stated 10 him that he had
not sent out any such document.
That it was an erroneous Inference
was shown by the fact that later in
the day Mr.. Norys called up the sec
rotary on the telephone and informed
him that he was mistaken when he
had his previous conversation. Taft
was angry.

THE SUPREME COURTS ADVERSE
DECISION.

The Supreme Court Of the United
States has decided in the case Of
Berea college in Kentucky, that state
can pass laws separating the Colored
and whites in the schools. The courts
decision is based upon the theory that
separation prevents conflicts and an
tagonism between the two races. This
decision SWEET away the last vestige OF
the Negroes civil rights. States may
now pass laws making a distinction
between the two races. The work Of
Acknowledgement may now proceed
without fear of adverse decisions
from the Supreme Court The Negro
is not even a theoretical citizen And
the question uppermost in the Negro
mind is what is his status in this
, country? It was possible to survive
the discrimination, prescriptions, and
intimidations of those in power a long
time as long as we were regarded as
Theoretical citizens-but since the Su-
preme Court, the highest tribunal in
the land, has decided that states may
draw the color line, we are left in a
pitiful and helpless condition. Not
only the Negro, but the Chinese, and
the Japanese and other Negroids viii
suffer from this ruling. and 1t is only
question Of when the county will be
involved in an international controv-
ersy over this aspect Of the desision.
Put this decision was aimed at the
Negro. There were two members Of
the Court that filed dissent-Justice
Harlan and Day.-The World, Indian
apolis, Ind.
The Colored Republican editors,
have had the run taken out Of them,
| by the United States Supreme Court,
which is controlled by the Republi-
cans, by its deciding. that the legis-
lature of each state, has the right to
pass laws, to separate white and Col
ored children in the public schools
and colleges.
But II the court was composed Of
Democrats, these same Colored Repu-
blican editors, would be yelping to
beat the band.
