tion due to the absence of any central independnt authority.
 White Slavery
 White slavery is discussed, the view being that there is urgent necessity for additional legislation and greater ac. tivity to suppress it..
 "I believe it to be constitutional, " the president says, "to forbid under penalty, the transportation of persons for purposes of prostitution across ma. tional and state lines; and by appropri. ating fund of $5O,000 to be used by the secretary of commerce and labor for the employment of special, inspectors, it will be possible to bring those re- sponsible for this trade to indictment and conviction under a federal law. '
 The president says that while the medical departments of the army and navy must be kept separate. there seems no reason why all the other bu- reaus and offices in the general govern ment which have to do with the public health should not be united in bureau to be called the "bureau of public health. {"
 In conclusion the president says:
 Increased Cost fIivng
 Speaking generally, the country is in high state of prosperity. There is every reason to believe that we are on the eve of a substantial business ex- pansion and we have just garnered a harvest unexampled in the market value of our agricultural products. The high prices which such products bring mean great prosperity for the farming com munity, but on the other hand, they mean a very considerably increased burden upon those classes in the com munity whose yearly compensation does not expand with the improvement in business and the general prosperity. Various reasons are given for the high prices. The proportionate increase in the output of gold, which today is the chief medium of exchange and is in some respects measure of values, fur. nishes substantial explanation of at least part of the increase in prices. The increase in population and more ex- pensive mode of living of the people. which have not been accompanied by a prOpOrtiOnate increase in acreage pro duetion, may furnish a further reason. It is we'll to note that the increase in the cost of living is not confined to this country, but prevails the world over and that those who would charge increases in prices to the existing protective tar if must meet the fact that the rise in prices has taken place almost wholly in those products of the factory and farm in respect to which there has been either no increase in the tariff or in many instances very considerable re- duction."

Japanese Relations

Our traditional relations with the Japanese empire continue cordial as us- ual. As the representative of Japan, His Imperial Highness Prince Kuni, visited the Hudson Fulton celebration. The recent visit of delegation of prom inent business men as guests of the chambers of commerce of the Pacific slope, whose representatives had been so agreeably received in Japan will doubtless contribute to the growing trade across the Pacific, as we'll as to that mutual understanding which leads to mutual appreciation. The arrange | ments of 1908 for a cooperative con trol of the coming of laborers to tho United States, has proved to work sue cessfully. The matter of revision oi the existing treaty between the United States and Japan which is terminabl' in 1912 is already receiving the study of both countries.
 The department of state is consider ing the revision in whole or in part, O the existing treaty with Siam, whiel was concluded in 1856 and is now, il respect to many of its proivsions, ou of date.

Spitzbergen Islands


 The Norwegian government, by a note addressed on January 26, 1909, to the department of state. conveyed an invitation to the government of the United States to take part in confer ence which it is understood will be held in February or March, 1910, for the purpose of devising means and remedy existing conditions in the Spitz- enberg islands. This invitation was conveyed under the reservation that the question of altering the status of the islands as countries belonging to no particular state and as equally open to the citizens and subjects of all states, should not be raised.
 The European powers invited to this conference by the government ol Nor way, are Belgium, Denmark, France Germany, Great Britain, Russia Sweden and The Netherlands.
 The department of state, in view oi proofs nled with it, in 1906, showing the American possession, occupation and working of certain coal-bearins lands on Spitzbergen, accepted the in vitation under the reservation abov' stated, and under the further reserva tion that all interests in those island already vested should be protected an' that there should be equality of oppor tunity for the future.

 Perhaps the most important question presented to this administration IS that of economy of expenditures and suih- ciencv of revenues This deficit of the last fiscal year and the certain deficit of the current year, prompted congress to throw a greater responsibility on the executive and the secretary of the trasury than had heretofore been de- clared by statute. This declaration lm- noses upon the secretary of the treas nrv the duty or assembling all the estimates of the executive departments, bureaus and offices, of the expenditures necessary in the ensuing fiscal year, and of making an estimate of the revenues of the government for the same period; and if a probable deficit is thus shown, | if is made the duty of the president to recommend the method by which such deficit can be met.
 The report of the secretary shows that the ordinary expenditures for the current fiscal year ending June 50, l9iO, will exceed the estimated receipts by $34,O75,620. If to this deficit is added the sum to De disbursed for the Panama canal, amounting to $3S,OOO,000 and Isl .OO0 O0O to be paid on the public debt, the deficit of ordinary receipts ana expenditures will be increased to to- ltai deficit of $73,075,620.

Night Session,

~gram)-The jury in the Emerson Eichler
case brought in a verdict of not guilty this
morning at 10 o'clock after being out since
4:SO yesterday afternoon. The Jury twice
asked further instructions before an agree
ment was reached and at one time stood
seven to five for acQuittal.
Eichler was charged with the murder of
Henry Bohnsack. on the witness stand he
narrated circumstances of the killing show
ing that in the trouble with Fred Bohnsack
he picked up a shotgun with the intention
Of using IL as a club, but claimed that the
discharge of the gun was accidental. Evil
dence of the good character of the de-
PENDANT and the quarrelsome character Of
Fred Bohnsack constituted the other
features Of the defense.
The states attorney stated to the Jury
in his opening address that he did not
expect a verdict of murder. Counsel for
the defendant based his argument on the
contention that Eichler was acting in de-
Tense of his home and family, II having
been shown by evidence that the quarrel
which ended in the killing OF Henry
Bohnsack was caused by the vulgar
language of Fred Bohnsack, to which the
defendant objected, telling Bohnsack that
he couldn't use such language in his house

jury retired at 40.
