Binaham,s' Police Work.

From the New York Globe. '
 A man more discreet than General Bingham probably would not have been able to achieve as much. The abuseS needed a frontage rather than flank attack. A wiser man would not have done as well. Clear it is that the next police commissioner, although of differ- ent type, will find under him a better police machine-a greater willingness td obey and less disposition to talk back. General Bingham has failed in his effort to reorganize the police department on the model of the regular army, but 1t ia the more efficient because of his efforts in this direction.

Almost to the end of his life Hans Christian Andersen persisted in believing that his really great works were his novels Those wonderful fairy stories, which have made him beloved and inn mortal. always seemed mere trihes to him, bagatelles compared with ''rhe Two Baronesses," "1mprovisatore, 70. T." and "Only a Fiddler
 When they were published, those novels gave him a European reputation They are good There are exquisite passages in them that will delight forever. But they sink into insignifcance compared with the glorious dreams, the bright vis- ions, the prodigal treasures of wit and fancy and goodness and beauty that came from his brain in the form of 'The Fairy Tales.''
 These stories control with the same triumphant power the souls and minds of the youngest and most innocent and of the oldest and most sophisticated.

About Selling Real Estate.

A NY piece of REAL ESTATE can be

CONGRESS OF NAVIGATION.
Twelfth International Congress May
Be Held In United States.

Washington, Jan. 21.-Believing that
the holding of the 18th international
congress of navigation in the United
States in 1911 would bring good re-
suits, both industrially and CONNER
cially, the House committee on foreign
affairs has reported favorably a reso-
luton introduced by Rep. Moore of
Pennsylvania, authorizing the secre-
tary of state to invite the Permanent
International Association of Naviga-
ton Congresses, of which the United
States is a contributing member, to
hold the congress in the United States.
The resolution calls for the holding of
the Congress at Philadelphia.
THE purpose Of the Congress" ac-
cording to the report SIS to bring rep
resentatives of the various govern
ments together to discuss questions
connected with international or mari
time navigation in their relations to
commercial and industrial enterprises
One of the points brought out very
strongly is that these congresses are
attended by great number of water
way and engineering experts or the old
country and it is argued that if the
Congress is held in the United States.
much material of great interest will be
produced which will be of great assis-
lance to the country

PRESIDENT is ANXIOUS
Over Anti-Japanese Feeling in Cali
fornia-May Cause Trouble.

Washington, Jan 21.-The President
talked cautiously with some OF his
Congressional visitors today. He went
so far as to say he thought nothing
pending in Congress nor any of the
differences between himself and Con-
gfess were of half the Importance as
the Japanese California question.
although he talked with care the
President still recognizes the exist
ence of a deeply antagonistic sentiment
against the Japanese in California, and
the wisdom of placating that sentl-
ment so as to end the agitation with as
little delay as possible. Because of the
almost unanimous feeling in the state
the President realizes the responsible
ty resting upon Gov Gillette in using
his influence upon the Legislature to
stop legislation ut this session and he
wants to do all he can to share some
of tina. responsibility.
Senator Flint in his conference at
the White House agreed with the Pres
ident in considering that the burden
placed upon Gov. Gillette is an i'm
portant and serious one and he is Will
ing to share with the governor the
work of trying to allay the irritation.
The President is not hesitating to use
the power Of Senator Flint and will
not refrain from doing anything with
in reason himself.
Senator Flint and other CalifOrnianS
have told the President pretty plainly
that while they are willing to help him
they dc not place much confidence III
the tiGures of the government as to the
decreasing number Of Japanese In this
country.
"rhe facts dispute the figures" they
declare, and add that the Japanese
are taking possession of whole towns.
The President advised his California
visitors that he would like to see a
fair trial given the promises of the
Japanese to decrease the number of
their citizens in this country and that
il this trial shows that there is no de-
crease, then he will no longer use his
influence, even after he goes out of Of
flee to prevent hostile legislation.
Senator Fulton of oregon, after his
talk at the White House today, said
that the feeling as to the Japanese in
his state was not as acute as in Cali
fornia Japanese and Chinese children
attend The same schools as the white
children III our state, said the sena-
tor. and we have not had eny trouble
so far We have many japanese in the
state, but they seem to have colonized
more extensively in California than
with us
Like many other callers, Senator
Fulton expressed the opinion that the
stuation would be cleared up and that

| was taken by number of White
House callers. among them Reps
