Washington, Feb. 9.-President
Roosevelt in message to the house,
returning without his approval
measure providing for the taking of
the next census, because of a pro-
vision that appointments shall be
made on the basis of non-competitive
examinations, said:
The evil effects of the spoils sys-
tenn and of the custom of treating
appropriations to the public service
as personal perquisites of profession
al politicians are peculiarly evident
in the case of great public work
like the taking of the census, work
which should emphatically be done
for the whole people. and with an
eye single to their interest"
AS passed by congress, the bill
permits representatives and senators
to designate persons for positions af-
ter they have undergone a single ex-
animation.
An attempt will be made in the
house, according to the plans of
house leaders, to pass the census bill
over the veto of the President. The
action on the veto will be post
poned probably until an opportune
time next week.

Washington, Feb. 8.-Opinions
differ about the gravity of the Jap
anese situation. Those best informed
look on 1t as serious. Senator Per-
klns, OF California, does not agree
with the President that action by
California's legislature will contra
vene the treaty rights of the Japan
ese,
The President is said to have fears
that things may go so far that Japan
Will break off diplomatic relations
with the United States. He feels
that at this time California has no
right to commit any act which miyht
plunge this nation into war.
The Japanese Ambassador recent
ly stated In a conversation with n
public man that Japan had made no
demand on this country at ALL that
1t relies absolutely on the United
States to carry out its assurances of
good will and good faith toward
Japan.
1t has been published that part
OF the battleship fleet will be de-
tached Immediately on it's arrival at
Hampton Roads and sent to the Pa
cific. There Is no truth in this ru-
NOR 1t is understood that all Of
the vessels in the fleet will require
some repairs and an overhauling
when they return. However, 1t has
been Intended all along that some
of the battleships should be sent
back to the Pacific as soon as this
overhauliug has been completed.

The formal ratification of the cleo
tion of w. H. Taft and James s.
Sherman, to be President and Vice
President, respectively, held in the
hall of the house of representatives
Wednesday, was one Of the most
ceremonial events attending the po-
litical life of America. Simplicity
and dignity marked every feature of
this function, witnessed by the two
houses of congress, by members of
the diplomatic corps, by leading Off
cials of the government and by a
brilliant assemblage.
When Mr.. Taft becomes President
he will ride in an automobile fur
nished by the government. That
question has been settled by the
adoption of the report of the con-
ferees on the urgent deficiency bill,
which carries an item Of $4,000 for
the purchase, care and maintenance
of automobiles for the use Of the
President"
The appropriation of 100000 to
enable the secretary of agriculture
to continue his campaign against the
foot and mouth disease, which was
also in dispute, was reduced to
$150,000 and adopted.
