oil and on white lead. On each Of these
articles. the senate was led By the
committee on finance. although the
committee was induced TO change Us
original suggestions on both white lead
and cotton seed oil.
The lead duty fixed by the commit
tee was originally 2Ho per pound. but
Mr. Curtis. who Is member Of the
committee. suggested a reduction of
&c per pound bringing the figure
doyn TO "a cents. and Chairman AID
rich accepted the reduction
Even the increase over the house
provision excited sharp criticism es-
peclally from Mr Curtis colleague.
Mr. Bristow. who contended that the
duty would prove TO be a direct tax
on the consumer. When the vote was
taken the committee obtained its u.s.
ual triumph, the figures standing A

Electricity as a Carrier.

Does an electric current when pasR
ing through a metal conductor cause
any transportation Of particles? It is
well known that 1t does 80 in the
liquid conductors known as electro
lytes; in fact. such a common opera
tion as eleciroplating depends entirely
upon this action. To test The matter
a recent experimenter passed an cleo

year through a conductor composed
partly Of copper and partly Of alumi-
mum, the sections being pressed firm

they were taken apart and examined

HARMONY IS VITAL.
The Thing Most Needed in Settling
japanese Question.

New York. Feb. 15.-Tetruzo Etc,
a former member of the japanese
diet. addressed an assembIage of
japanese students here who met to
discuss means of promoting harmony
between the Orient and the Occident.
particularly as related to the United
States This is the second meeting
Of its kind held here recently Mr.
Etc spoke in japanese, which was
translated into English as follows:
The question of harmony is the
most vital and fundamental one in
the solution OF all the differences
which have caused so much agitation
In nv Judgment some citizens believe
enron eousIy in the impossibilfty of
harm onizing the two civilizations
They seem to have thought that the
Caucasian was the supreme race and
that all other races had the faint as
well as tint Of color While the
Chinese-Japanese war made the west
ern races regard US something differ
ent from what they had first thought
it also had a bad effect for II made
TO cry about the yellow Peril Yet
the westerners who thought that
Japan was able to beat China because
of the Iatter'S weakness, never thought
that Russia would be whipped This
dream of having been broken the
westernerS now begin to fear as well
as despise US. This seems altogether
due to their mistaken idea that the
JaDaueS6 are WarEEe and LnaL mar
rnony of the two civiIiza lions is impos-
sibIe-
Il therefore deem it most important
for US to do our best to remove this
misconception- Without doing this no
diplomacy can smooth the relations be-
tween the two countries Of different
race and faith. This is not only my
belief but that of many Americans,
President Roosevelt among them
"Our civilization came from the
east as well as from the west, but the
first important and valuable civiIiza-
ton we secured came from this coun-
try through the visit Of Admiral
Perry and the invaluable efforts of
Townsend and Harris. 1 need not
say how much we owe this country.

that story
