RAleigh, n. c.. Jan 30.
TIE session OF the legislature has
been extremely harmonious, but for
the frst time last night friction devel-
oped between the senate and the house
this being due TO the action OF the
house in adopting. b. the close vote
of "a to 81. Buxton's amendment to
the railway rate bill. putting the rail-
ways In charge of the corporation COM
mission after the 10th Of next January.
The news few very rapidly about this,
most of the members of the house be-
ing in the senate when tfe vote was
taken and a good many sharp things
at once began TO be said. at least
dozen members of the hose having
been heard to declare that they wou
never vote for any bill Including such
provision, but that they would go
home first without taking any action
whatever This provision also caused
no little talk on the streets today. The
rate bill has been Overshadowed by
passed the prohibition bill as the eau
Gus directed but the house changed the
date of the election from August to
April, this not being favored at all by
the Anti-SalOOn League officials though
they had been in a way reticent regard
ing 1t. Then the bill went over to the
senate for concurrence In this amend
ment and there 1t has teen, some have
said, hung up. Railway matters have
for the past 72 hours been paramount
The engineers, conductors and rail-
way men in general have been working
very hard to get the old rate restored,
Or any way a fiat three cent rate. Some
senator hinted that all ~ them might

So far Governor Glenn has paid 600

The president and other officers of
the shorter railways in the state are
certainly working hard to get their
much desired relief bill through the
legislature Today a number of tn m
were seen in the Office of the corpora
ton commission. They are frequently
seen IN the governors Office and they
find him very friendly to their plan,
as he knows wha5 developers these
snort roads are and how, in many
cases they have not been money max
ers.
Of course there is world of politics
In legislative session. Amid all the
ENGAGEMENTS and iivershies of Iegis
latlOn there run currents of what
may be termed personal politics, some
smail-some large, and so it is at this
special session, which seems now near
an end, some big games are being
played.

White PROSPEROUS In Match Manufacture
to he Prohibited,

From the London Daily Chronicle.
After many years Of agitation the use Of
the deadly white PHOSPHORUS In the manu-
ia ctur Of matches Is soon to be prohibited.
A bill backed by Herbert Gladstone and Her
bert Samuel with this object In view was in
trod uced In the House of Commons last week.
and fuller details Of the measure. which was
issued from the printers on Saturday, Will
give satisfaction 70 the Thousands Of people
employed in this dangerous trade.
The Governments action 10 the indirect
result Of the Berne labor conference of
September, 1905, when representatives of
France, Germany. Italy. Holland. Denmark
and Switzerland consented to the prohibit
ton, Great Britain then Withholding her agree
ment. As the outcome Of a consultation with
the ufa cturers the promoters Of the bill
now before Parliament have made 1t pos
sible for less dangerous substitutes for white
PHOSPHORUS which are protected by pat
ents to be obtained OF reasonable terms by
all manufacturers
The use of the poisonous white phosphorus
Is not necessary in the bushes Of match
making. Its employment. moreover. is highly
dangerous to the workpeople. for It gives
rise to the painful disease Of necrosis Of the
jaw, commonly known as -phossy jaw"
This disease has much the same effect on
those attacked by 1t as that Of leprosy. and
It works the same horrible ravages on the
face and hands.
The bill, II It passes into law. will not only
forbid the use of white PHOSPHORUS In the
manufacture Of matches but will also make
II illegal for any one to sell or import matches
In the making Of which white PHOSPHORUS
has been used.

MARRIAGE BY PHOTOGRAPH.
some Defensive Movements Undertaken b,
japanese I'm America.
R~on III Ja1o1 WsfkIu Nail
From he Japan Week

The Asdki Shifnbsn has an article which
throws an interesting light on the question
alluded to In our last issue. namely. marriages
by photograph between japanese residing In
America and their oo~untrywomen In Japan.
It appears that two movements OF q eelf-de-
fensive nature have recently been organized
by japanese residents In the United States.
The first IL q crusade against gambling by
the Chinese, q vice which 10 INDUCED In on
such q scale and which involves such evil
results that the presence Of Orientsls In
general becomes Objectionable In the eyes Of
American citizens. Japanese agitation for
the suppression Of this vice promises to have
the result Of clearly diff erentiating them from
its practice.
ate outcome this Idea Of nuptials by photo
graph. There are about 100. 900 japanese
in the United States. and fully % per cent.
of them lead single lives. Such o condition
was tolerable enough so long as q settlers
object consisted merely In earning as fast
as possible money enough to return home.
But In view Of the anti Oriental spirit now
prevailing In the United States the Japanese
residents see that the only practical remedy
l,es IN becoming permanent settlers. and In
carrying out that programme a wife Ii q
prime essential.
To return to Japan, however. for the pur-
,ose OF providing himself with q wife means
not only hat q man would have to incur
great expense but also that It would be moro
than doubtful whether he could reenter the
states subsequently. Therefore the only
feasible alternative Is to get q wife over from
Japan without going to fetch her.
All this appears TO have been anticipated
very cleverly by the we'll known Mr.. Shima-
nuki. a prominent Christian. Some tint
ago he established in the Koishikawa suburb
OF Tokyo an institution called the Ryokko-
kai. which may be freely translated Self-help
Society.
The inmates Of this institution. mostly
graduates from girls high schools. receive
education In all subjects likely TO be OF prac-
tical utility, such as housekeeping. cooking.
sewing, typewriting. do. In fact they are
expressly equipped to be the wives OF Japa-
nese settlers In the United States
IL 10 between this institution and the Japa-
nese settlers that photographs have been
exchanged, and by this means the settlers
are enabled to obtain helpmates whose quail
hoations and record are known and whose
appearan nee IL rendered familiar by the pho
tosraphs. The idea IL that II the settlers
thus marry and bring up families their sons
will become naturalised American citizens.
md by degrees the antl-Japanese feeling In
the UpItod States will die out. The con-
c,ntion seems c%ininently practical and use
mi nor can we doubt for a moment that the
Japanese authorities In Tokyo will refrain
from interfering with the programhas

James Doughty. the oldest actor and
clown In the United Kingdom. will cele-
brate his ninetieth birthday on August %
with three benefit performances on the
West Pier at Brighton.
Mr.. Doughty IL an interesting link with
the theatrical past. say the London Daily
Mail. He followed In the footsteps Of the
great Grimaldi. He has worn Grimaldfs
wigs. He has sung Grimaldi's songs. He
regretfully recalls the days when the harle-
quinade was the attraction Of a pantomime
and the clown It's chief performer. Motley.
which he will wear once more on his birth
day. Is to him a garb as sacred as the mourn
full doublet Of Hamlet.
There are no clowns now he remarks
with a shade Of bitterness. Last year l
heard the tale Of q theatrical manager who
forgot all about the clown when he was
arranging his pantomime. and at the last
minute gave q super half a crown extra TO
play the part" The o~ontemptuous o n
must be left to the imagination.
Old though he is-he is now wheeled to
his daily performances on the pier In a
bath chair-Mr. Doughty lie still a pictur-
esque figure. He wears q smart cutaway
coat and q Gladstone collar. He puts his
troupe Of dogs through their PAGES with
great punctiliousness. and sends the chill
dren into shrieks of delight with ripe old
jokes that used to amuse their grandfathers.
Who remembers the famous song Hot

IL after him. Doughty in his now quaver-
ing tenor sang the first few lines Of It:
