NATIONS TO PREPARE
MAP ON LARGE BASIS
SCALE SIXTEEN MILES TO INCH
WILL BE USED
Several Countries Use Charts of Un-
usually Large Dimensions, but
No Uniformity in Meas
urenent Is EXtant

LONDON, Dec. 1S.-Delegates from
the leading governments of the world
assembled at the foreign office this
week for the purpose Of discussing the
feasibility of preparing a map of the
world on a scale of about sixteen stat
ute miles to the inch.
The proposal dates from the Inter
national Geographical congress in
Berne in 1891 when committee was
appointed for the purpose of promoting
st. The committee reported to sue
ceediug congresses held at London in
1895, at Berlin i'm 1899, at Washington
In 1904 and at Geneva in 1908, but until
the last congress met no definite step
was taken to enlist the cooperation
Of the various governments interested.
The Inconvenience of the present
state of things is evident, for maps are
now published in various countries
with different projections, different
scales and different symbols The pro
posal to be made at the conference
will be, it is understood. that each
country shall undertake to draw its
own map 10 the scale above stated, so
that it may be possible for a traveller
going, for example from Germany into
France to buy a map of the latter
country across the border and piece it
on his own map. In this manner il
would be possible to travel all over
the world, piecing together the various
countries as they are traversed.
England and several other countries
have been using maps drawn to this
scale for many years Most Of the
German maps also are drawn to this
scale, But it is not only in regard to
scale that uniformity is desired. Each
country has at present its own method
of indicating objects by symbols. and
q traveller is under the necessity of
learning each code as he passes
through new country. The confer
ence probably viii agree on recog-
nized set of symbols, which shall be
common to all the maps now proposed
to be drawn.
1t is also probable that the English
units Of measurement viii have to give
way to the metric system, which is
universally employed on the continent

LONDON, Dec. 1S.-The internation-
al exhibition which will be opened in
April next at Brussels will be of more
than ordinary interest the world over.
For the first time in tue commercial
history Of England, the British section
will be arranged and supervised by a
government department-the newly
formed exhibitions branch of the
board of trade-with the active assls-
tance OF the royal commission for the
Brussels, Rome and Turin exhibitions,
of which the prince of Wales is the
president and Lord Lytton the chair
man.
The Brussels exhibition will be Of a
comprehensive character, and will have
its artistic. scientific, commercial and
colonial sections. The scheme on which
it is being arranged differs from that
adopted at other international eNhi-
billions.
At the Paris exhibition Of 1900 and
the st. Louis exhibition of 1904 num-
Der of isolated "allotments' were as
signed to each participating nation in
buildings devoted to groups of manu-
factures.
At Brussels, tho exhibits Of each
country will be grouped together in
such a manner as to form a complete
national display. An exception viii

hibits of machinery and rolling stock,
which will be placed in separate build
ings specially erected for the purpose

JAPAN DAZEDBY
SUGAR SCANDAL
DAI NIPPON COMPANY ACCUSED
OF FRAUD
Alleged to Have 6ribed Members OF
Diet and Used Its Funds
for Alleged Specu-
lation

TOXIC, Dec. 1S.-For some weeks
past the trial has been proceeding In
the Toxic district court of the direc-
tors and other officials of the Dai Nip
pom Sugar company, accused OF fraud
and of bribing a large number of the
members of the Japanese Diet. The
evidence has dealt chiefly with the
manipulation of the company's money
for purposes of speculation and the
confusion Of the accounts.
Some remarkable statements were
made by the chief of the accused Of
ficials, the director, Mr.. Isomura, who
said:
I'VE attempted to extend the COM
pany's business with the object of
monopolaing the trade in the east,
and thereby benefiting our own coun-
try. But the government, to our sur
prise gave special faVors to the For
mosan Sugar company by allowing
heavy rebates on the taxes that should
have been paid by the company. We
did not receive any assistance, but
were ignored. This attitude of the
government even gave rise to inter-
national trouble. for the Dutch min
lister presented a protest to the author
tiles because of the injury that was
being done to the Java sugar trade.
1--WE therefore pressed the govern
ment, through Baron Shibusawa, TO
reconsider its policy, but with no re-
suit. At about this time the Formos-
an company was sending over l,5O0,-
600 tons of sugar How could we be
inactive? How could we remain with
our hands in our pockets while our
company was approaching bankrupt
sv? The Formosan company was
making an annual profit OF S0OOO,0OO
through the too generous aid of the
government And of this enormous
amount generals, statesmen, cabinet
ministers, and many other high or
fieials received a share.
The court listened In silence TO THIS
statement, and the accused, his excite
ment increasing, continued:
"PIease remember that this crime
was committed in broad daylight IN
Japan-a constitutional country! L
and Mr.. Aklyama (another accused dl-
rector) gnashed our teeth In tndigna-
tion. and we resolved upon an extra
ordinary course Of action, namely, to
bribe members of the lower house OF
the diet to prevent the authorities
from continuing their Illegal acts. But
our scheme failed, and gave rise to
great scandal"
The accused concluded by asking the
court to impose a severe sentence upon
himself. as being the principal offender
but to tighten the punishment of the
other accused, his accompnces.

able Delay

PARIS. Dec. 1S-King ManuePs
presence at the opera the other night
provided Nj. Pataud. the secretary OF
the Electricians syndicate, with an
opportunity of renewing those exploits
which have made his name famous in
Paris as LIE Roi das T6nebres.' As
soon as the curtain had fallen on the
first act OF Faust" two delegates
from the electricians employed at the
opera informed the stage manager
that they were under orders from NJ.
Pataud to cease work at O'Clock.
They entirely refused TO listen to rea-
son or to discuss the question at al.
stating that NJ. Pataud was at a
neighboring wine shop and that he
alone was competent to enter into ne
gotiations. NJ. Broussan, one of tile
managers at the opera, decided to see
NJ Pataud who produced from his
pocket q contract already drawn up.
The principal stipulation contained
in It was to the effect that the cleo
tricans should receive 3 francs a per-
formance, the wages paid to- the
scene shifters. NJ Broussan eXpostu-
lated and explained that the addition
Of his signature to the contract was
absolutely Valueiess, because the Edi-
son company was under contract to
provide the opera with electric light
and was alone responsible for the pay
ment of the electricians. NJ. Pataud,
however, stated that as the syndiCate
could get no satisfaction from the
company il was determined to have NJ.
Broussan's signature to the contract,
and NJ. Brounssan agreed to sign un-
der protest. The whole affair was
thus quickly ended and the spectators
knew nothing of what was happening
behind the scenes.
King Of Paris Restored
The reappearance of NJ. Pataud in
his role of king of Paris has caused
some surprise, as II was be ieved that
his influence with the members of the
union had suffered in consequence of
the failure of the attempted general
strike of sympathy with the dism ssed
postmen and the cynical eftrontery
with which he and other leaders of
the general confederation of labor eX-
plained their methods In public. 1t
would seem that the latest coup was
designed rather with a view to restor-
ing NJ. Pataud's prestige than to OBJ
tanning better terms for the men. The
managers OF the opera argue that the
contract signed by them is worthless,
because their electricity is provided on
contract by the Edison company,
which Is also responsible for the per-
sonnel. They cannot, therefore, they
hold. be bound by a signature to in
crease the wages of employees engaged
by a firm with which they have no dl-
rect connection.
NJ. Pataud some little time ago
played a similar trick on the night of
an important banquet and the at

electricians proved unsuccessful just
after the postal strike the antlclpa-
ton of an electric strike led the man
ayers of many theaters, cafes ana
places of amusement to lay IN large
stocks of lamps and candles IN readl-
ness for an interruption of the electric
current.
Talk Of Revolution
NJ. Pataud and one of his colleagues
at the general confederation of labor
have just published n book, enutieo
How We Shall Make the Revolu-
ton" In one of the chapters of this
highly sensational work they explain
the important part which is TO De
played by the strike Of the electricians
and gas workers when the day comes
for the declaration of the general
strike which is to change the face OF
society. The authors wish it to be un-
derstood that the isolated electric
strikers are to be regarded as prac-
hAe for lie Grand Soir' and that
when the time comes the strikers VIII
render all the machines useless by
sabotage. so that the military engi-
neers viii be unable to take their
places.
NJ. Jaures was engaged in discussing
the propaganda contained in this
book at the Socialist school recently
constituted in the Hotel des Societies
Savantes. and was criticising the
methods of the general confederation
when NJ. Pataud appeared on the
platform and announced that MS
methods. however much NJ. Jaures
might disapprove Of them, had at
least one advantage over those advo-
Gated by the Socialist leader, namely
that they did produce practical re-

PATENT MEDICINE IS
POISON OF MURDERER

VIENNA. Dec 1S.-Charged with
numbering a captain of the lmpeflal
general staff and attempting to murder
others by sending them poisoned
samples of a new patent medicine
through the post. Lieut.. Hofrichter OF
Linz has been brought to Vienna Tor
trial by the military tribunal.
The alleged motive is a desire to
clear a path for promotion by the re-
moval of officers of higher rank ram
full emotion has been caused by this de-
velopment i'm the capital. The young
officer stoutly denies the charges.
Suspicion was first directed by the
statement Of a brother officer at Linz.
who mentioned that he had received
from the lieutenant a box exactly SINH
lar to those in which the fatal powder
had been sent.
In Lieut.. Hofrichter's house the com
missioners took possession of seNeral
objects which Will be used in the prose-
cution, including a mechanical copying
apparatus. The circulars accompany
ing the poisoned powder were reproduc-
ed by means OF such an apparatus. Inc hee
prosecution states that the lieutenant
was an amateur photographer and
would have no difficulty in obtaining
cyanide of potassium.
The prisoner arrived in Vienna under
military escort. His young wife, who is
about to become a mother has accept
ed an invitation to take up her resi-
dence with the wife of a general or dis
tinction.
The lieutenant was fifth on the list
OF officers for staff preferment. He is
stated TO have been in Vienna at tht
time of. the poisoning. in spite of hav-
ing obtained six days leave TO go to
another station.
