Japanese mail To the state depart
ment at Washington, quotes a return
ing traveller from Australia as saying
that the anti-Japanese feeling in Aus
trala has reached an extreme point.
According To the published interview
forwarded here. japanese are forbid
den entrance to any of the Australian
clubs and forbidden to attend public
meetings German influence, it is said,
is believed to he responsible for this
anti-Japanese feeling. Japanese news
papers criticise the talk of German
influence as an anti-German campaign
analogous to the anti-Japanese talk.
The secret of the Australian situation,
it is claimed, is that while nominally
admission is granted to merchants,
students and travellers, merchants is
interpreted to mean heads of firm
only, all other tradesmen being classed
as laborers. Japanese papers point
out that this treatment experienced by
Japanese subjects in Australia while
worse than that experienced IN the
United States, attracts less attention
because of the smaller number of per-
sons affected.

Tampa, Fla, July II: With 10 per
cent of the cigar makers of the city
idle. as a result Of stand taken 10y the
manufacturers that they will not en-
ploy men who join the union, Samuel
lIOIIlDtTS, HSdu vi TIC EAlIlSl II CiA w
Grafton of Labor, is expected to arrive

Fergus Reid, a member of the
board of managers of the New York
Cotton Exchange, has been fined $3.50
for contempt by the appellate division
of the supreme court because he failed
to obey a subpoena to go to court and
testify concerning the rules of the cot
ton exchange. The lower court didn't
punish Reid because VIM. 4. Springs &
Co, a cotton exchange firm that had
subpoenaed Reid as a witness, had
won the case, and it didn't appear that
they had been damaged in any way by
Reid's failure to respond. The appel
late court says: IF witnesses are to
escape merely because the persons they
were to testify for happen to succeed,
then courts will be delayed, and if it
be decided that the only risk the wit
nesses run is the possibility that the
party may show actual damages, then
a large part of the time Of lawyers
will be spent in drawing attachment
papers and the time of courts and Ju-
ries will be wasted waiting for the
production of witnesses by the sheriff"
Reid's defense was that he had to go
to Chicago that day and his lawyer
told him not to mind the subpoena.
About the most strenuous opposi-
tion that we have noted i'm the new
postal savings bank plan soon to be
inaugurated comes from the New York
Journal of Commerce. which paper is
advising the people to make the plan
a failure by refusing to patroniZc it
and insisting on something better pro-
vided under their own state laws.
While the bill was pending i'm con-
grcss a number of the msurgcnt Re-
puhliCanS from the west ais" opposed
il, because they believed that il would
establish a sort of pipe line that would
drain To New York money from all the
other sections of the country. and that
it would not be applied tn tn" poStuf-
fees i'm the large eastern cities which
