The position of the state department;
is thus described:
BY reserving the right To enter upon
the negotiation Of n special tariff agree
ment the United States practically lets
II be Known that we may not always be
satisfied with mere technical favored
nation treatment, but that we might
feasonab bly, expect q more equitable In
cidence OF the import tax upon our own
commodities. IL is a question whether
or not such actually unfaYorable treat
ment OF our imports in point of tariff
rates would constitute d!scrImina lion
within thc meaning Of our tariff laws.
and therefore make II possible for the
president TO apply our maximum tariff
II is pointed out as self-eyidcnt that
any such arrangement looking toward ef-
iectiye Favored nations treatment has
nothing whatever Ia do with such reel
proca1 arrangements as that between
cial tariff arrangements of that kind be-
tended, do not come within the scope
OF tho ordinary interpretations of the

Interpretation which is always given by
the United states, which holds that no
other country can demand from this ma :
lion tho advantages granted to another

Argument along this line by Secretary
Knox Is what is said To have modified
the opposition Of Senator Hale and left
only the western solcitude on the sub

The opinion holds. however, that the

Opinion in Western Case.

In his preparation OF the opinion III
the western case. Commissioner Franklin
Is. Lane made an optimistic review of the
sitauton OF American railroads. In be-
ginning he shows that through The regu-
| railroads have been protected against
| each other and a result the revenues
| of the carriers have increased under reg
ulation and their dividends and surpIuses
| have increased as III no other period or
our history
I'm the last ten years the railroads OF
| the United States have borrowed more
! than 81 800 900 600 or twice the amount
of the national debt at the close OF the
civil war. This is an evidence of the
faith the PUBLIC has In these properties;
The rate of dividends and the total
| amount Of dividends have increased
more rapidly than tho additional mileage
built"
| Commissioners Lane points out that the
! western roads have Increased their sur
plus more than 100 per cent in ten years,
| The opinion holds that The carriers do not

maintaining their credit or insuring them
against temporary adversely.
| In considering cost Of operations, in
cIuding wages. materials and all else that
properly may be taken into account, the
] opinion nolds that ''ile cost of the up

value amounts to more than three -fourths

ever. the last six months OF the year OF

largest operating income they have ever

WASHINGTON. Feb. 22.-The senate
although in executive sessions for two
hours late today, again failed To rattfy
the treaty with Japan sent to that body
on Tuesday by the president. But II
appears To be in somewhat improved no
sition.
Senator Hale is said to have exhibited
no opposition TO il at the session today
Several far western senators. however
asked further time TO study the matter
and especially to ascertain the senu
ments oi their constituents, after theS
had time TO understand the nature OF the
treaty.

in the executive session this afternoon.

In that respect Is not at all what the
people ui he Pacific coast have assuined

groundess, was the essence of tele-
gram sent today by President Iait 10
Governor johnson Of California.
The president assured Governor Johh-
son that the treaty and the accompany :
ing documents are exactly as thcy weFS
explained to the governor himself ana
the secretary of state. and there Is no
danger Of relaxation OF the recent re-
strictions upon the immigration OF Jap

position OF the state department relative

stated with sufficient authority.
Attention was drawn 10 the fact that

benefit of the unilateral tariff conven-
lions made by Japan with Great Britain,

THERE are certain class of peo-
pie who seem to take delight in
trying to destroy the traditions and
beliefs which have been handed
down to us by past generations.
Whether their bumps of destruc-
ton are abnormally developed
along this special line, or whether
they are merely suffering from an
attack Of acute typeus fever, would
be hard to say; but at any event
they set themselves a thankless
tack ~
A certain DR.. Owens has stood
forth in the public eye for several
months past, because of his state
ment that Shakespeare's works
we're written by one Bacon and
his subsequent search for sustain
ing proofs in the mud near the
old Roman road by the river Wye.
1t seems reasonable that were not
notoriety the main object Of all
this ado, the proofs would have
been first obtained to substantiate
the statements. And even we're
there any truth in them who is
there that would not rather
believe those grand poems and
plays were the products of Shake
speare's brain than that they we're
written by Bacon?
DR.. Ovens success in gaining
the public eye seems to to have
stirred up considerable envy, for
the papers are now telling of a
man who has come boldly forth
with the statement that Napoleon
never was imprisoned on the is
land of St. Helena, but that sub
stitute was found to impersonate
him, and that he (Napoleon) re-
tired to Italy and spent the re-
mainder of his life peddling clocks.
Someone will be coming forth with
the statement that t. r. discovered
the U. S., next.
