says of their new home:

1t is generally believed that the num-

officials are known to share in this gen.
eral belief, although officially they know
nothing about it. This belief is based
on the fact that an increase slightly in

the previous decade would bring the

WOMAN IN JAPAN.
Suffrage a Long Way Off, But They
Are Coming Forward"
From the London Times.

FROM the LONDON Times.
The Japanese ambassador, responding
as the chief guest to the toast Of Japan
at the Lyceum Club dinner the other
night. said that the people Of Japan
placed very great Importance upon the
alliance with Great Britain, and il was
their hope that the alliance might long
continue to increase in It's usefulness and
benevolent influence The Japanese had
the shortcomings, weaknesses and de-
fects common to all mankind but this
much could be said for them-they were
always ready and eager to learn from
others what was good for them and for
the rest of the world.
In this respect the women Of Japan
were equally eager. Fundamentally the
moral code Of woman was a doctrine OF
obedience to three persons in the course
of life--to their parents, then to their
husbands. and finally to their children.
That code had come to be regarded as
quite insufficient for the modern rela-
nons between men and women. They
were beginning to think they were as
important. II not more important. a unit
OF society as men, and at the present
rate Of progress the day must soon come
when the rules and customs which had
always regulated the relations of the two
sexes had to be entirely recast on the
principle Of more power to the women.
Personally he did not regret the move
ment: on the contrary he was fully con-
WINGED that the real progress of any ma
ton could only be secured by the recog-
milton of the claims OF woman. and the
recognition bv her of her proper place in
the domain OF domestic and social life
In this connection he could not help re-
ferr:ng TO the subject as It concerned
England-a subject at that moment en-
gaging the whole Of the attention OF the
legislature. He had an open mind on
the matter so far he had not been able
TO arrive at an intelligent derison on
the subject: and with all respect II Eng
lish members OF parliament he was afraid
many CT them were In similar position.
At any rate he did rot envy those who
had TO record their votes on the subject.
The women of japan had not reached
that stage when they demanded political
rights and he could not hela thinking
that the day was long distant when they
would. But in other respects they were
coming forward. and their position was
rapidly becoming more important In
this az in other matters the progress OF
Japan was due to the influence Of west
ern countries. especially the coed model
and example Of Great Britain.

TRANSPORTING C0NvICTS.
How French Prisoners Are Conduct
ed to Penal Settlements.
arts Cor London telegraph.


Among the 500 convicts who left the lie
de Re for French Guiana In the trans
port Loire the other day was Renard,
the butler Of NJ. Remy. the financier, who
was murdered at his residence In the Rue
de la Pepiniere. near the Care st. La
zare, about two years ago. Considerable
interest Is still taken in this case, as his
counsel and many other people contend
that Renard Is innocent, though they
cannot argue. at any rate, that the af-
fair has not been completely thrashed
out.
This departure of Renard for the penal
settlement has led to attention being
paid to the conditions under which con-
victs travel when they are being con-
veyed across the ocean. 1t cannot GER
tainly be affirmed that these conditions
are anything but awful. The wretched
men are taken from the old citadel in
the lie de Re escorted by battalion of
infantry with fixed bayonets.
Chained two and two 10 each other, and
wearing blouses. rough trousers and
black wooden caps. they wend their weary
way to the quay, some the most hardened
affecting q devil-may-care demeanor and
whistling tunes, while others who are
more refined walk with their eyes bent
on the ground and often with tears steal
ing down their pale cheeks.
When they reach the pier they are put
on barges. which carry them to the ship.
and on a command from the deck. Send
the prisoners up" they climb the ladder.
AS soon as they are on board they lay
down their bundles and then descend by
a staircase to the iron cages, or
'bagnes," OF which there are four be-
tween-decks, separated from each other
by a passage. in which seamen are on
guard fully armed. AS soon as the con-
victs have been thus installed the trans
port sails away
How do they fare in the matter of food
Bread is distributed every morning, and
twice q day q party ascends to the deck
with vessels which are filled with pro-
visions at the rate OF twelve portions in
each. At one meal there may be Goldfish
cooked with rice, at another bacon, with
potatoes or beans or lentils. The pans
having been brought down to the cages
the convicts devour their contents. In
the afternoon, when the weather is ia
vorable, and IL they are well away from
land, they may go on deck in parties of
100 at a time for half an hour and breathe
the invigorating air.
When evening comes hammock is
dealt out to each convict. who suspends
1t to the ceiling of his "bagne,' and SO
gets what sleep he may. AS might be ex-
pected, great precautions are adopted on
board as many of these men are mis-
creants Of the most desperate type. Four
guns loaded with grape stand In readi-
ness to work havoc in their ranks If they
should revolt and when they are per-
with the boilers is within reach of the
sailors on guard. who can promptly play
on them IL they betray the faintest symp-
tom of rebelling.
