Washington, Feb. 2-There were
many legislative complications sur
rounding the proposed legislation for
the re-enlistment of the discharged
soldiers of the Twenty-fifth regiment,
charged with shooting up Brownsville,
Texas. When the senate assembled
today. Senator McLaurin of Missis-
sippi had. given notice that he would
speak against the pending bill and
Senator Carter had said that while he
would allow the postal savings bank
bill to be laid aside today in defer
ence to Senator Foraker's desire for
action on the Brownsville measure.
The pressure of legislation now, when
there are only about twenty-five days
remaining during which congress can
consider legislation, encouraged the
minority in their determination to
oppose the Brownsville legislation as
far as possible.

New Company to be Formed in Mis-.

Jefferson City. Mo-, Feb. 2.-Attor-

whether he would recommend to the
supreme court of the state the accept
ance of the novel proposition which
the Standard Oil company, through its
attorneys filed with that tribunal. The
proposed procedure is said to be with
out precedent and the state officers
are puzzled by it. The suggestions to
court comprise $4,000 words of matter,
the principal point being the proposal
that in lieu of the custer decision
against the company a new Missouri
corporation be formed to succeed to
the business of the Standard Oil COM
pany of Indiana in this state. The
stock of the Waters-Pierce Oil COM
pany, now owned by the Standard Oil
company of New Jersey, is to be turn

The Maintenance Of Peace and
the Development of the Ma
tional Resources
OPPOSITION LEADER MAKES
SENSATIONAL CHARGE N REPLY
Says Japan Has No Foreign Policy
and Cites the Treatment of Japs
in America as an Illustration of the
Governments Feebleness.

Toxic, Feb. 2.-Speaking before the
lower house of the diet today Foreign
Minister Komura outlined the foreign
pollok Of Japan in carefully worded
speech delivered before full and at
tentive house. The opening sentence
gave the keynote Of the entire speech
when Count Komura said, "the foreign
policy of this empire should have as
an object the maintenance of peace
and the development of the national
resources"
With reference to Great Britain he
said that events Of far reaching i'm
portance in the relations of the two
countries with the other powers hap
PLY and uniformally contributed to a
consolidation of the general peace Of
eastern Asia which, was one of the
principal objects of the argument.
The alliance, he continued, had
steadily gained strength and solidity
and today stands on an enduring
foundation.
The relations of Japan with Russia,
he went on, were constantly increas-
ing in intimacy and both nations were
scrupulously observing the spirit and
the letter Of the compact giving their
attitude in the Pacific, while the
policies of both governments were
yielding momentous results. Thus, in
his opinion, there was every reason to
expect an increasing growth Of friend
ly sentiments between them. Touch
ing on the relations of Japan with
France and Germany he said that they
were on an equally satisfactory foot
ing and that the declaration Of Chan
cellor Won Buelow in the Reichstag
clearly manifested the frank and
friendly attitude and complete accord
of Germany and Japan in the far east.
He expressed the sincere hope that
the good relations with Germany
should continue.
Count Komura concluded his speech
by announcing that the imperial gov
ernment had decided to notify the va
rious powers next year of the termina-
ton of the existing commercial treat
les to be effective one year after such
notice was given. He said that it was
the intention Of the government to
negotiate treaties, unhampered by any
unequal engagements. The new COM
pacts, he continued, will be based en-
tirely upon the principle of reciprocity
with the view to the free development
of international commerce.
The foreign minister's speech was
received with applause by the govern
ment side fthe house, but Count
Hattori, an opposition member, i'm
mediately began bitter and sensa-
tional attack on the foreign policy Of
the government. He sid that Japan
had no determined foreign policies
and that this was shown by her pres
ent attitude toward America where
the Japanese were denied an equal
opportunity and were even abused by
the Americans. Recent events, he
said, had proven that the anti-Japan-
ese sentiment in America had not SUBJ
sided.
