The care and exactness with which

America would be roughly cast by ma

their purpose and generally on the

The famous surgeon Velpeau was

the consultation hour by marquis
renowned for his closeness. felpeau
Informed the marquis that an opera
ton was urgent and that the Zee woulo
amount to 1000 francs. At this the
MARQUIS made a wry face and left a
fortnight later DR.. Velpeau, while max
inc his rounds in the Ropital de IA
Charite, had his attention attracted
by face that seemed familiar to him.
In answer to his inquiry it was stated
that the patient was a footman or
nob!eman in the FaubourS st. Ger
main. The surgeon found that bis case
resembled in every particular the
somewhat unusual one for which the
MARQUIS had consulted him fortnight
previously. BE refrained, however,
from making any comments. Taree
weeks after the operation, when the
patient was about to be discharged,
Dr.. Velpeau called him aside and eN-
claimed: Monsieur, I am extremely
hatte-ed and pleased to have been able
to cure you. There IS, however, q
small formaity with which you viii

Down In Maine is i town called
Burnham, situated on small branch
railroad that joins the main line at
Burnham Junction. One day as the
train approached the latter place the
brakeman entered the car and IN his
usual stentorian tones went through
his regular rigmarole when a station
and junction are reached.
"Burnham Junction" he shouted.

A Dead Bird.

Samuel Butler, the witty but eccen-

means Nowhere" and Of many other
remarkable and suggestive books, IS
now more read than during his lie
time. He died in 1902. In one Of his
notebooks he tells this incident, which
must have amused the great Charles
Darwin:

The Storm Nose at Sea.

The picturesque name Of storm nose
(Gewitternase) is given in Germany to
the wave Of high barometric pressure
which often precedes storm or a
heavy squall. The barometer rises sud
denly and then falls more gradually.
It is believed that this phenomenon Is
responsible for sudden changes in the
level Of the sea. Observations on the
seas surrounding Denmark have led to
the conclusion that the change Of level
thus produced sometimes amounts to
no less than three feet.-Youth's Com

WILL NOT COMPROMISE
California Legislature Will Not Re-
consider Anti-Japanese Legis-
latiOn.
(By Associated Press.)

SACRAMENTO, Feb. 10.-All eff
forts of Governor Gillett and his sup
porters in the assembly to make a
compromise agreemnt on anti-Japan-
csc legislation have failed. The floor
leaders met today in the Office of
Speaker Stanton to discuss the situa-
ton, which they consider desperate.
Grove l.. Johnson, author of the
school segregation BILL today noti-
fed Governor Gillett, Speaker Stan
ton and J. P. Transue that he would
make a fight against the reconsidera-
ton of the vote by which the school
bill passed last week. The governor
urged Johnson to withdraw from the
fight explaining the situation be-
tween Japan and the United States
as he had learned it from President
Roosevelt, but Johnson stood pat.
Assemblyman Transue opened the
fight over the Japanese legislation
in the assembly THIS morning by in
PRODUCING a resolution withdrawing
Grove O. Johnson's bill compelling
the Japanese to attend separate
schools. A motion that the assembly
go into executive session to permit
Speaker Stanton to talk more freely
regarding the state secrets was voted
down. Transue's resolution made it
plain that the assembly does not
agree with Secretary Root that the
bill is unconstitutional because it
violated the treaty rights, but Tran
sue asked resentment because of
the desire of the federal authorities.

TO SEGREGATE JAPS
Nevada Senator Says He Agrees With
Californians i'm Anti-Japan-
csc Legislation.
(By Associated Press.)

RENO, New, Feb. 10.-In a
lengthy interview sent from Wash
ington to the Reno Gazette, Senator
Nixon, of Nevada, declares he agrees
csc sentiment on the question of the
segregation in the schools and that
the state had a right to enact legis-
lation enabling trustees to provide
for segregation in the schools and
that the state had the right to enact
legislation enabling trustees to pro-
vide for segregation.
Nixon said: Complying with your
telegram, will say that there is no
doubt that the sentiment in Nevada
is almost unanimous in favor of eX-
clusion of Japanese from our COM
monwealth because, as is we'll known,
they have in no manner assisted in
developing our industries but on the
other hand every dollar earned by
them finds its way to the Golfers of
the land Of their nativity. Even the
purchase of supplies for their main
tenance in our section is made
through industrial corporations Who'll
ly composed of Japanese and no bene-
fetal results are obtained through
their entrance into the state" The
senator went on to state that Japan
csc coolie labor is not necessary to
the development of the Pacific coast
and that cheapness in their service
excluded the white race from employ
ment. He said he agreed with the
movement and with the citizens of
California on the question of segre-
CATION schools and says in his opinion
the legislature has the power to en-
act legislation enabling school trus-
tees to provide segregation. He add
ed that he sent telegram to the
legislature a few days ago advising
slow action on account of informa-
ton he had received from the presi-
dent regarding negotiations between
the two governments now pending.

The train was going but ten miles

car was partly wrecked. The en-
gineer was hurled out into the Sound

c. \, PLANT
IS HELPLESS
High Pressure Test Destroys Big
Standpipe - Loss Will Be
About $4,000.

The operation of the new power
plant of the Great Northern Railway
company, located in Tumwater CAM
yon, near Leavenworth, will be de-
layed probably two months owing to
the partial destruction of the big
standpipe last Saturday, when the
water was turned into it for test.
The pipe is about $50 feet high and
is supposed to act as an accumulation
for water from the dam, about two
miles above.
Another pipe in the interior of the
big standpipe acts as an overflow.
When the water was turned on the
great pressure crushed the half inch
steel interior pipe, four feet in diam
eter and about IT'S feet long, as
though it was paper. The accumu-
lator is a new feature in hydraulic
engineering and its operation has
been watched with interest by hy
draulic engineers.
The apparent fault lies in there
not being sufficient braces. The en-
cheering forces of the Great North
ern will decide on the best method
of reconstruction. The loss is esti-
mated at about $4,000.
