TOXIC, March 4.-Returns just COM
pleted by the foreign office show that
between June and December, 1908,
1854 Japanese left the empire bound
for the United States, while $500 re-
turned from the United States during
the same period. Of those returning
3,031 travelled third class across the
Pacific, which indicates that they were
of the laboring class, against whom
the emigration restrictions of the Jap
anese government are particularly di-
rected.
The total number of Japanese sailing
from Japan during the same period is
shown to have been 1,151, while those
returning from the islands numbered
1881 were third class passengers.
During the month of January, 1909,
the foreign office figures show that 152
Japanese sailed for the United States
from Japan while 295 returned to
Japan during the same period from
that country. Two hundred and sixty
four of the latter travelled third class.

The months embraced by these fig
ures include the period in which the
agreement relative to emigrants to the
United States which was concluded be-
tween Thomas J. O'Brien, the Amer
lean ambassador, and the Japanese for
eign office in January, 1907, became
actually operative. The foreign office
points out the fact that it has re-
quired several months time to perfect
a system whereby the entire field of
emigration could be brought under
control, namely those months between
the conclusion of the agreement and
June 1, 1908, and that consequently the
showing for the months beginning in
June and up to the presest time is the
only fair test of the effectiveness of
the system of restriction employed

larly insistent in calling attention to

WES1ERNERS GO
TO INAUGURATION
PEOPLE SWARMlNG TO WASH
INGToN AND ALL RECORDS
ARE BROKEN.
Travellers Spend Money Freely and
Are Seemingly Well Satisfied.
With New President.

CHICAGO, March 4.-The west has
broken all records for travel to the in
auguration of president this year; the
people have swarm'ed on to Washing
ton through Chicago for the week past,
requiring extra coaches on regular
trains, extra trains and special trains
until passenger agents of eastern
lines passed the point Of distraction to
stolid endurance a week ago. Tele-
grams from every state in the west,
asking for sleeping car reservations,
have been pouring in for a fortnight.
Several special trains de luxe were
made up in Chicago and it was mat
ter Of comment in railroad Offices that
never has throng attended the inaug
uration of a president of the United
States in such pomp and circumstance,
spending money so freely and seeming
ly so we'll satisfied with prospects un-
der the new president. The contract
drawn by the Inauguration crowd Of
1909 and that of Washington in 1889
was in keeping with the salaries Of
the first and twenty seventh president
Washington having declined any SAL
airy and Taft being the first to receive
the advance to $4,000. It is not gen.
orally remembered that in addition to
his salary Of $4,000, President Roose-
welt has had $4,000 for travelling ex
penses and of course, the White House,
for the maintenance of which Uncle
Sam spent $4,000 in 1907. Chicago
had a foretaste of a unique feature
of the Inauguration parade in the ar
rival of the Philippine Constabulary
band of IS diminutive, enthusiastic
musicians, who gave concerts in Chi
cago, as well as in San Francisco,
Lincoln and Omaha. The band was
organized in Manila while the Cover
nor of the Islands was William Howard

PENAL LAWS
UNDERGO REVISION
FIGHT IN SENATE AGAINST SEC
TON RELATING TO USE
OF TROOPS.
Only New Legislation Is That to
Punish Leaks Of Governmental
Statistical information.

WASHINGTON, March A new
penal code was enacted into law today
through the adoption in both houses
of congress of the conference report
on the bill drafted by joint COM
mission originally appointed in 1897
and reappointed at the close of the
seth congress. The bill is a compre-
hensive and coherent revision and
compilation of practically all the pure
ly penal laws.
For several days there has been d
filibuster in the senate led by Clarke
(Ark) against the section relating to
the use to troops at places where gen
eral or special elections are held. Fin
ally the conferees struck out the pro-
vision relating to the keeping of peace
at the polls, because it was recognized
that federal troops are not now used
for that purpose. The conferees also
dropped all reference to the state Of
1875 which forbids discrimination on
account of race or color in the selec-
ton of grand Or petit jurors, but left
the law as it was originally enacted.
The commission found it difficult to
make uniform laws that would operate
in all states, among these being the
prohibitory liquor laws. 1t was found
that this class of cases can only be
covered by a general statute.
Practically the only new legislation
is that to punish leaks of government
statistical information and the regula-
ton of interstate shipments of intoxi-
eating liquors. In order that any SER
ious error might be corrected the bill
does not become effective until Janu-
airy 1, 1910, enabling congress when it
meets next December to correct any
serious mistake or omission.
A joint resolution was adopted con-
tinuing the commission to codify the
laws other than the criminal statue
in accordance with the instructions to
the commission when originally ap-
pointed.

PRESIDENT SALARY $4,000.
No Additional Allowances for Travel

No Additional Allowances for Travel
ing Expenses.
WASHINGTON, March 4.-The sal
airy of the president has been definitely
fixed at $4,000 per annum, without
an additional allowance for travelling
expenses.
The senate inserted an amendment
in the bill giving the president a sal
airy of 100000 a year. The house re-
duced the amount to $4,000 and the
conference on that measure resulted in
the adoption of the house figures.
The senate lost all of it's amend
ments for increase of salaries for the
vice president, the speaker of the house
and the supreme court justices.
