JAPANESE RESENT NAVAL PLAN
Officers Not Satisfied With Proposal
for $40 600 OO0 Increase

VICTORIA, B. c.. January 13.-The ar
ransement for an expenditure OF only
$4O,O0O.O00 for naval increases In Japan
is not satisfying Japanese naval on
GERS. according to advices received by the
steamer Panama yesterday. The Liberal
news agency Of Toxic says: -
Much heartburning now exists in
naval circles anent the failure of the
gigantic naval expansion plan. When the
subject was brought before the meet
Ing of the cabinet members the naval
contingent desired to expand the naval
force with aliotments amounting to $3.50
OOO,OOO. The supporters Of the project ap-
preached Count Yamamoto and asked for
his help in carrying out their plans Count
Yamamoto ana others who held strong
views in support OF the scheme were
pacified by Marquis Katsura. Since Il be-
came known In naval circles that only
$4O.O00.O0O will be available In the next
six years che opposition against Count
Yamamoto has grown to such an extent
that unless some change takes place the
influence Of the count will quickly b
lost"

Rulings on Pay Of Absentee Teach
ers Made.

After settling some unique and difficult
questions in regard to the pay of teachers
and substitutes. the clerks Of the board Of
education are getting into shape the now
famous supplemental payroll, which Carries
the names of the two hundred teachers
who were absent for various lengths OF
time in December.
The questions to be answered were dis
cussed by Auditor Tweedale. Harry Hine.
secretary of the board OF education. and
Henry p. Blair, member of the board
yesterday afternoon.
1t was decided. among other unique
things that IL a teacher was absent Fri
day. Saturday. Sunday and Monday she
would lose four days pay. but that the
substitute would receive but two days
pay. II the teacher is absent Friday and
il known to be sick Saturday and Sun
day, then she loses but one days pay.
Several other knotty problems of that
sort have been bothering the members OF
the board. The difficulties could have
been Strengthened out. it is claimed. by
