To Sell Famous Flag.

London, Jan. 21.-At an auction
sale to be held in London a week from

peake, the vessel captured off Boston
harbor in 1913 by the British war

the historic flag will be Americans,

EXPLAINS DICK Law.
Wan1cTght Urges Importance OF
Conformity by ". O.. n. Y.

AssenbIyman J. II. Wainwright who introduced
the bill providing for commission to inquire into
the condition OF the National Guard. and to
enable the State of New York to conform to the
provisions prescribed for the militia by the So
called Dick law. at his office yesterday
and In explanation of the latter measure said:
The National Guard of New York through the
operation of this bill will become in fact first
serve to the regular army. think the public falls
to appreciate the great importance of this question
of conformity to the Dick law. which conformity
must be made before January q for the relations
between the federal government and the militia TO
continue 1t is far than mere question Of
continuing TO draw supplies from the United States
government 1t involves the whole question OF what
the militia exists for.
Heretofore 1t has been regarded purely
police force, existing to check internal disorder. for
strike and riot duty. with a vague duty resting
upon 1t in time OF war. The law has been uncer~
tain. This was shown at the time OF the outbreak
of the Spanish war. when the War Department
found itself unable, without raising grave ques-
tons to utilize the National Guard. SUCH
Congress enacted the Dick law settle these
questions, and now. If the state conforms to the
regulations of the federal law and accepts the fed
eral bounty in the way OF appropriations it's forces
as such can ordered right into the federal ser
vice for nine months on the outbreak Of war.
The advantage 10 the federal government will be
to insure such the advantage TO the state
Will be that it will have a splendidly equipped
state force more competent and efficient than ever
before to perform the state duties which may fan
to It.
One or two states have already conferHned, and
the Empire State cannot afford 10 hold back any

JAPAN AND IMMIGRATION.
administration Looks for Satisfac-
tOrN 4ssurances from Toxic.

Washington, Jan. 3.-Furtler information than
that given yesterday relative to the contents of
the communication from Ambassador O'Brien
transmitting from Toxic the japanese reply to
his memorandum dealing with the immigration
question was refused at the State Department
to-day. This is the invariable rule in cases
where negotiations still in progress. and
the inference is that although, officially
stated, Mr. O'Brien regarded the Japanese an
swer evincing a satisfactory disposition tow
ard the American desires, the reply is not con-
elusive.
negotiations in the ordinary sense, that a
treaty is TO be forthcoming the result But
it is expected that the japanese government will
in some formal manner register its purpose of
preventing the further migration of coolies to
the United States. and when the assurance on
this point has taken satisfactory form the ad-
minstration will see to it that Congress is ac-
Quainted with the fact and thereby relieved
from the necessity Of enacting any legislation
looking to the exclusion of japanese inmigra-
ton a whole. Attempts in that direction
already have been made by the Pacific Coast
Representatives, and if the President is able
to convince Congress that the japanese govern
ment is in good faith endeavorinS to do by in
ternal regulations what it is proposed to do
here by statutory law-namely. stop the influx
of Japanese coolies-he will not find it neces-
sary to veto any such legislation.

A YEAR OF PEACE IN SIGHT.

London Jan. 3.-Sir Charles Dixie, NJ. P, in an
interview to-day the worlds politics in 1903,
expresses the opinion that there will not be war
between the United States and Japan Why
should there be?'' asks Sir Charles: you cannot
have war unless side wants It What possibly
could be gained by war? Japan Is supposed to
covet the Philippines, but she has not yet digested
the slice of Manchuria that the Russo-Japanese
war gave her, nor has she even settled Formosa.
Does she not know that even If she did defeat the
American fleet her triumph would not be forever.
since the United States would build a new feet
and Japan's expenditure in blood and treasure
might be for nothing
Referring to the cruise of the battleship feet
TO the Pacific Sir Charles says this is demon
stration of the power of the American navy and
likely to enhance its prestige.
The only black spot in the foreign outlook. Sir
Charles goes on is in South America, owing 10
the unsettled frontiers of Uruguay and Paraguay.
The Argentine is keenly interested in this matter
and would regard with dsmay a fresh war OF ex-
ternina tion while Brazil would object TO the in
huence of Argentina spreading over the country
This situation might have an unfortunate erect
and cause the Argentine to resume the armaments
abandoned when she made the treaty Of arbitration

THE PHILIPPINE TARIFF
Secretary Taft Ready to Agree to
ompromise.
IFrom The Tribune Bureau. ]

Washington Jan 3-Secretary Taft to-day
said that he would welcome the enactment of
the Philippine tariff bill with the compromise
suggested by certain members, of Congress; that
is. with exact limitations the amounts OF
sugar, tobacco and rice which shall be imported
at the lower rate of duty Mr.. Taft said he
was as firmly convinced as ever that it would
be the part of wisdom and good statesmanship
to pass the measure precisely as 1t passed the
House last year. making the duty on the COM
modities named so per cent of the Dingiey rate
and admitting all other imports from the Philip
pines free. Nevertheless he had always in
sisted that the importation of the three staples
named would never reach amounts which could
injure the Industries of this country, while the
opponents Of the measure in Congress. had ex-
pressed apprehension that it would. Therefore,
purely as an evidence Of good faith, he would
welcome the passage Of the legislation with such
restrictions TO the quantities which might be
imported at the lower rate Of duty as would
dissipate the anxiety of the more timorous mem
bers or Congress.
It is not generally believed that the executive
branch of the government will make any strenu-
Gus effort to induce Congress to pass this legis-
lation. Nevertheless it will be recommended,
and it is known that many members of the
House believe it should pass It may be re-
called that Representative Dalzell, in a news
paper interview given early in the fall, expressed
the belief that the measure would be passed by
the House at this session. What the fate of
the bill in the Senate would be is more than
ever problematical. The Democrats, under the
lead of Senator Culberson, have taken every
possible precaution to prevent favorable action
on the bill in the Committee Philippines.
They have replaced Senator Dubois with Sen
ator Teller, who is the most bitter opponent of
the measure in the Senate, while Senator Nc
Creary, who voted for the bill last year, has
been transferred and Senator Newlands, another
bitter opponent, takes his place. Senator Dick s
opposition to the administration will prove am
pie to prevent his voting for the measure and
the only hope which the administration can en-
tertan must rest on Senators Hale and Bran
