 Tokio. March 4.-Returns just com pleted by the Foreign Ofice show that between June and December. 1908 l.. 364 Japanese left the empire bound foI the United States while $500 return ed from the United States during the same period.
 Of those returning s.o51 travelled third-class across the Pacific, which indicates they were of the laborins class, against whom the emigration re' strictfons of the Japanese government are particularly directed. The, total number of Japanese sailing for Hawaii from Japan during the same period is shown to have been l. 15l while those returning from the is- lands number 2.s51 of which number 2.sS9 were third class passengers.
 During January. 1909. the Foreign Ofilce figures show that 153 Japanese sailed for the United States from Japan while 296 returned to Japan during the same period from that country. Two hundred and sixty-four of the lat ter travelled third-class.
 In the same month 1&5 Japanese sailed for Hawaii while sixty returned. all the homsward bound coming third eclass.
 The months embraced by these fg- 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 Ameri- can Ambassador. and the Japanese For eign once, in January, 1907, became actually operative.
 The Foreign once points out that 10 has required several months to perfect @ system whereby the entire field of emigration could be brought under control.
 The foreign officials are particularly insistent in calling attention to the fact that on the figures given 1000 more Japanese returned from Ameri can territory than sailed to America during the past eight months and they state that his year will be extremely significant of the effective operation of the Japanese agreement with the Uni ted States.

 There was quite q discussion on the subject and the idea which prevailed was that the Council was represen- tative body. and 1t was . question as to whether it could properly send such . message. the point being made by one of the Aldermen that he doubted whether Brother Taft had received any considerable number of votes in Columbus.
 Those who urged the passage of the resolution said that 1t would simply be a pleasant greeting to the next President of the United States, and would be without political significance.
 The proposed telegram was as fol- lows:
 The Mayor and Board of Aldermen of Columbus, Ga, in meeting assem- bled, desire to congratulate you on your accession to the highest oflice in the gift of the people; to express the sincere hope, which we are sure will be realized. that your administra- ton will bring to us continued hap piness. peace and prosperity, and that 1t will prove . magnificent testimo- nial to your great executive ability and high personal character

CURIOUS ANCIENT LAWS. old Registry Volumes Show Prote tive Statues are Now New.

Special Cable London-any one who has eyer had occasion to persue old parish regis ters knows what curious things may be found buried in them. Much of native interest has this week been brought to light by the publication of extracts from the registers of Bur ton parish. Cheshire.
 There are for instance. sixteen cen tury entries going to show that the policy of protecting native industries was not revealed to England by Jos eph Chamberlain. It appears from a register that in 1887 1t was ordered that mo corpse of any person shall be buried in any shirt. shift. sheet. or si roud made or mingled with flax hemp, silk. hair. or any stun or thing other than what Is made of sheep'a wool only"
 The penalty was pounds lawful money of England. This extraordi- nary post-mortem sumptuary legisla- ton was not dictated by consideration for the corpse although wool Is a nice warm thing to be buried in. but was flor the lessening of the impor- tation of linen from beyond the seas and the announcement of the woolen manufacturers of this Kingdom.
