WITH THE DOMINION

Japan Gazette.-The return home Of
the Hon. Rodolphe Lemieux. Canadian
Minister of Labor. does not necessarily
indicate that he has failed in his high
mission, but the circumstances point
to the probability that continued DIFF
ficulty is being experienced by the two
governments to find a solution of the
problem of Asiatic immigration into
Canada that is entirely satisfactory in
detail. From what can be gathered
the Canadian government, when it
made the. commercial treaty with jap
an, was under the impression Con ac-
count it is said OF some assurance"
given by Consul General Nosse at OF
tawa) that the Japanese government
would continue to hold themselves
morally pledged to continue, despite
the treaty allowing free intercourse, to
limit the influx of their immigrants to
600 per annum. The Japanese govern
ment are now understood to deny the
existence Of any such moral pledge"
But it is said that the difficulty about
a record of the general Japanese policy
being given has been surmounted, II
it ever really existed, and that Japan
handed Mr.. Lemieux a memorandum
expressing her intention, as before, OF
endeayoring to meet the recognized
difficulty of the Canadian government
by devoting more attention than ever
to restricting emigration direct from
Japan to Canada and supervising its
character. She processes inability 10
take action as regards transmigration
from Hawaii, which is a foreign coun-
TRY. It seems that this Japanese posi-
ton, if not conceding all that Mr..
Lemieux was empowered to ask, may
vet be found by the Canadian govern
ment a nucleus of a more satisfactory
settlement in the future. In any case
the conclusion has demonstrated a
Japanese willingness to meet the oc-
casion. and it is particularly noted
that Mr.. Lemieux attests that the
negotiations were carried on through
+ out in the most friendly way,

NEW YORK WORLD SAYS
GOVERNMENT IS ALARMED

NEW YORK, Jan 4.-The World
says this morning:
The United states Government has
secret information apparently TO the
effect that the japanese plan dash
upon the Philippines, This is borne
out bv information from Manila, just
received in New York, which tells Of
the extraordinary hustle that prevails
there in the building and equipping OF
forts and the mounting of big guns in
large numbers.
Extraordinary quantities of war ma
teriaI have been rushed to the islands
in the last few months All this, taken
in conjunction with the departure for
the Pacific of the battleshtp neet' IS
thought to prove that President Roose-
welt realizes that there is a necessity
to- be on the alert.
La Patrie. an evening newspaper Of
Paris. published a highly sensational
dispatch Friday asking for the where
abouts of the Japanese fleet. 1t re-
called the sudden attack on Port Ar
thur which opened the Russian-Japa-
nese war.
The battleships' cruise will be a
frolic for all concerned, according 10
the formal expression of the ADMIN
istration at Washington. From the
president down to the humbiest man IN
authority there is no other sentiment
publicly expressed. But it all comes
while this country is working as 1t
never has worked before to put its
Pacific land defenses on a war foot
ing and complete an adequate naval
base in the, Philippines.
All this is being done without snow
or fuss or feathers, and when 1t Is
discussed it is described as being sim
ply the pursuance of a plan mapped
out for years.

INlTHE NAME OF THE LAW.

The President-elect, Mr.. Taft.
has issued a statement, quite in
advance of his inauguration, and
seemingly needless at present.
that "every business man who ia
obeying the law may 90 ahead
with all the energy in his posses
sion; every enterprise which is
within the statutes may proceed
without fear of interference by
the Administration" Certainly
the business men of this country
should feel grateful for permits
sion to 90 on with their work
feeling that they will be let alone;
that is much, and we should
breathe easier. The question in
volved, and which business men
may ponder oyer is, justwhat the
courts of the country may con.
slider legitimate business. A man
may have q perfectly honest in
tention to conduct his business
according to law, and at any time

order his arrest, or issue an in
junction for violation of a court
decree that the business man may
be ignorant of, and he is left to
proceed in a tedious and costly
manner to free himself from the
flaws delay" and in the mean
time his business may go to
pieces. 'SNo honest man need
fear" says Mr.. Taft, but it seems
as if it is to be left to the Execu-
tive to decide ofthe honest inten-
tion-a thing impossible.

QUININE TO BE TAXED.

The reports state that the Commits
sion to adjust tariff rates will replace
quinine on the list of dutiable articles.
Powers & Weightman, of Philadelphia,
made colossal fortune from quinine, the
selling price of which in 1873 being over
four dollar an ounce. When it was
proposed to place that drug on the free
list. the firm then having monopoly of
its manufacture, testified that if this
were done the price would go up far
above what they were charging for it.
But when it was removed from the list
of dutiable articles it sold at once as
lowas sixty centsper ounce. and Powers
& Weightman still made a profit.

"BY AND LARGE"

We have stumbled ON this
phrase several times in the past
few weeks, it serving to round of
a sentence or begin one, as the
case may be in relation to election
predictions and prognos tic a.
tions. 1t has a good, round.
sonorous ring to it and, in the
main, We are pleased with it. We
are not quite satisfied that we
can use it to effect in coming
editorials, not being absolutely
sure that we comprehend it's full
import; but still we rather like its
sound, and shall lay it away in
memory in case we see a place to
use it where it will do the most
good: "By and large"-yes. it
sounds well, but we must study
1T out-being alittle bit afraid we
mightinsert it in the wrong place
and to the disadvantage of the
editorial matter.

Measured by his past the Cuban
papers predict his success in the future.
He does not speak English. General
