REFUSE TO MEET STRANGERS
Peculiar Method of Trading lnduIged
In by New Guinea Tribe Who
Keep to Themselves.

No European has ever been able to
meet in their own dwelling-place the
Kukuhuhus, "a shy, yet ferocious tribe
of New Guinea. Other tribes of the
country, while they ha great fear
of the Kukuhuhus, manage to do a
bartering trade with them. They bring
SALT earthenware, dried fish, etc. and
deposit them in a certain indicated
place. They then retire for few
hours, being notified to do SO by
curious cry from the distance. The
mountain jewellers then descend to
view the goods offered for sale. II
they want them they put down other
goods, such as skins, feathers, and
other jungle produce, next to those
articles wanted by them. Then they
retire in turn, and when the way
seems clear the coast dwelle-s APP
proach again. If the latter are salts
fed with what is offered in exchange,
they take the goods put down by the
mountain people and go away; If not
satisfied they retire again as before
with empty hands.

CHINDA SEES WILSON
JAP ENVOY SUBMITS NATIONS
PROTEST TO PRESIDENT.
Insists on Reputation OF Anti-Alien
Laws and Recognition of Equality
With United States.

Washington, June 7.-Vlscount Chin
da, the Japanese ambassador, acting as
personal representative of the mikado,
had an hours conference at the White
House with President Wilson Thurs
day, to whom he personally submitted
Japan's grievances.
This act of the Japanese amkassa-
dor was as extraordinary as il was
dramatic and startling, in view IF the
full and free conference he had with
Mr.. Bryan, when he delivered the
rejoinder of Japan.
The appearance of the ambassador
at the White House caused the imme-
date report and belief that the am
bassador was not satisfied with either
the comprehensivenes nor direct
ness of Mr.. Bryan's solutions and had
appealed promptly TO the president. 1t
became known in less than an hour
before the call of the ambassador at
the White House that Japan had sug-
gested new proposition"
The proposition is, substantially,
that the federal government shall
make some official declaration, which
shall be a recognition Of the conten-
ton of Japan as to her place among
nations and the equality of her citi-
zens with the citizens of the leading
powers of the world.

VOTE AGAINST BRITISH PACT
Nine Senators Protest Renewal of
Treaty on Arbitration Which Elk
pired June q.

Washington, June mime OF the
most influential men in the United
States senate behind the closed doors
of an executive session Friday after
noon voiced their protest against the
renewal of the arbitration treaty with
Great Britain that expired June 4.
A similar treaty with France has
been renewed.
They declared that these treaties
tied our hands in every direction
where American interests should be
protected.
The Bryan plan for universal peace
was sneered at during the discussion
and charged with being responsible
for the yielding to the demands of all
foreign governments where American
interests were at stake.
The senators said it was because OF
this that the United States was afraid
to enter Mexico and protest its own cit
liens; that the impression had been
created in Japan that this country
would not stand for it's rights and had
led to the dispute over California.

GOOD TIMES IN CANADA
BUSINESS PRosPERINc, TRADE
INCREASING AND FINANCES
IN GOOD SHAPE.

The present Tightening up of money
must not be looked upon as being IL
any sense brought about by financial
stringency. 1t is really more period
of stock-taking resorted to by the
banks to ascertain the true condition
of the finances and trade of the coun.
try. Legitimate business enterprises
are not affected. Throughout the
States there are those who If allowed
itably be means towards precipi.
tating something good deal worse
than they feel now. In Canada, the
conditions are excellent, and it is
safe to say business was never bet
ter. The pulse of trade is carefully
watched by the Finance Department
of the Dominion government, and it
is illuminative to read portions of the
address of Hon. w. T. White, the
Finance Minister, delivered few days
ago before the House of Commons.
Mr.. Whites remarks are in part as
follows:
1T falls agreeably to my lot to ex
to the House and the country upon
the prosperous conditions which 1t
continues to be our good fortune to
enjoy. ] am happy to announce that
the outcome of the last fiscal year,
which ended on March 81, will prove
evsn more satisfactory as rejecting
by far the highest pitch to which our
II okA
have every expectation that when the
books are closed, it will be found that
the total revenue will have reached
the splendid total of $16S,250,000, or
an increase over the year 1911-12 OF
over $32,000,000. Some indication OF
the magnificent growth of the Domin-
ion may be cleaned from the fact that
this increase in revenue during the Pc
Rod of one year almost equals the en-
tire revenue of the country seventy
years ago.
THE augmentation of revenue to
which / have referred has not been
irregular, spasmodic or intermittent
in its nature, but has steadily charac-
terized each month of the entire fiscal
year. 1t was of course mainly derived
from Customs receipts, but the other
sources of revenue-excise, post office
and railways-also gave us very sub
stantial increases"
THAT in a period Of great flnan-
cial stringency not only have we not
been obliged to resort to the con-
gested markets of the world, but have
been able to reduce so substantially
($23,000, 000) the debt OF the Domin-
ion, must be matter of qualification,
both to the House and to the people
of Canada.
II believe that during this period
of exceptional money stringency the
credit of the Dominion as reflected in
the quotations of it's securities has
maintained itself among the highest
in the world"
Owing to the favorable state of it's
finances Canada was in a position to
pay off a heavy loan in cash without
recourse to the issue of bills or Sc
curities.-Advertisem

Washington, June 9.-Senator Town
