On many OF his visits to the toy
shop President Lincoln was accompan-
led by the late Thomas Pendel.-who

TON OF CAPTURED MAN.
CHURIAN LINES.

Toxic. The proposition OF the
United States for the naturalization of
the railroads in Mancnuria came as a
surprise, and the publication of the
details of the note, which was handed
to the Japanese government Decem-
ber 10 by the American ambassador.
aroused an immediate chorus OF dis
approval
Putting aside all questions of the
business or political advisability Of the
proposition, sentiment entered most
largely into the attitude of the people
of Japan. The foreign office. while
admitting that such note had been
received, would give no intimation as
to how it had been or would be
treated.
Count T. Hayashi. the last minister
for foreign affairs. and former am
bassador 10 Great Britain, Count Oku-
ma, formerly one OF the most active
of statesmen, and everyone whose
name carried any weight whatsoever,
were quoted in the newspapers in
strenuous objections to giving up
what is claimed to be the harvest of
the war with Russia.
Tens OF thousands of our soldiers
died in Manchuria in the war with
Russia" they said. I'VE got little out
of the war except what was political.
The material side Is represented by
the South Manchurian railway and the
Antung- Mukden. The leased territory
and Port Arthur were only recovered.
4 hesc We won ten years before and
lost again by the intrigue of certain
powers when We were q weaker ma
ton.
Now the United States hitherto al
ways our friend. comes into combina-
tion with other powers apd proposes
that we should give the South Man
churian-a paying road-and the An
tung-Mukden-the continuation OF our
railroads in Korea-to the control OF
foreigners and strangers.
The reasons assigned for this are
that the principle OF the open door
and equal opportunity for all nations
doing business in China must be pre-
served. But Japan has entered into a
solemn agreement with the powers OF
America and Europe to preserve the
integrity OF China and to maintain the
principle of the open door and equal
opportunity in concert with China and
with other nations. and to this Japan
had adhered religiously.
In two ways. therefore. the United
States attacks the honor and senti-
ment OF the people OF Japan. Is it any
wonder that We refuse to permit our
government even to suggest that the
proposal has been received by Japan
with equanimity?'

Strinqent Liability Bill.

Washington.- OF the most rad
ical pieces OF proposed legislation be-
fore the present Congress and one
which heretofore has not occupied
much attention. is now being given
serious consideration by the judiciary
committee OF the House and a hearing
on it has been ordered for February
18th to which n number of prominent
railroad men of the country have
been invited.
1t is the bill introduced by Repre-
sentative SABBATH OF Illinois. which will
require all persons carrying on oc-
cupations and trades subject to the
regulative power OF Congress" includ'
ing railroads. express companies and
sleeping car companies, to pay com.
pensation on fixed basis to injured
employees. The legislation II enacted
would overturn the present employ.
ers' liability law and revolutionize the
existing system OF indemnity for per.
sonal injuries.
The bill defines the amount of COM
pensation to be paid by employers TO
employees. in cases OF injury or death,
basing it upon the amount of the pre-
vious earning power OF the victim,
and provided tnat it shall be paid in
the form of annuity.
The bill is based upon the laws Of
England and Germany. Such legisla-
tion was favored in one OF the mes.
sages of former President Roosevelt,
and President Taft also is said to have
commented favirably upon it.
