Congress Is Busy With
Issues Arising From War

Washington, ID. C.--To prepare for
an emergency arising from the Euro
pean war, the president and admins
tration leaders are endeavoring to as
sure the presence Of quorum Of both
houses of congress in Washington.
House leaders have made imperative
demand for return Of absentees and
they are flocking in on every train.
Already there Is substantial quorum.
While the conference primarily is to
determine the nature of war revenue
measure to Offset losses in revenue.
some aspects OF the foreign relations
Of the nation with particular reference
may be considered.
Philippine exports are giving the
administration concern just at this
time, because of the conflict between
Japan and Germany. A plan to place
a ban on all exports from the islands,
except to the United States, while the
war In Europe continues is under con-
sideratlon. II Is argued that should
the shipments from the islands to Ger
many or Austria be captured by the
Japanese, an embarrassing situation
might arise. The same might be
true should exports to japan be seized
by Germany.
Administration senators who have
been studying the situation believe an
ounce Of prevention is worth pound
OF cure. and they are urging action by
congress TO avert trouble which might
be precipitated through Philippine Is
land commerce. They recognize. how
ever, that II commerce is stopped
some provision must be made to com
pensate for losses that will follow.

japanese Are Cautioned
to Apoid Var Discussions

San Francisco - Japanese associa-
tions In this city are circulating note
OF advice to Japanese residents in
America. which was issued by the
Japanese Association of America. It
reads:
Japanese should sndeavor TO avoid
heated talks and discussions with
Europeans and Americans on the war
situation.
I'm California there is large popu-
lation Of German subjects and special
care should be taken in your attitude
toward them.
Japanese should refrain from con-
versations and actions which might
tend to excite the sentiment Of Euro
peans and Americans.
As the United States declared neu-
trality, Japanese in America should
recognize and bind themselves TO the
neutrality obligations. Outside of
the necessary and proper support of
their mother country. they should not
give any support or assistance to any
OF the belligerents. "

Washington, d. C. - Intimations

Since George came to the throne there have been sev- eral crusades against boxing in Eng land, and that they have all failed is due in no small part to attitude of the British monarch. Early this year the British Association for the Suppression Of Everything We Don't Like--an organization which has sew eral hourishipg branches in this country-got busy with the hammer and started in to administer a knock out blow to the boxing game The crusade went along merrfly, but as soon as it assumed influential propor- lions the King manifested his disap- proval of the crusade by attending a boxing show, at which professionals as well as amateur boxers displayed their proWess with the gloves That put the kibosh on the anti-boxing pro- paganda, and nothing has since been heard of it.

 Since the days of Figg, who became the first pugilistic champion of Eng land nearly two centuries ago, boxers have enjoyed the approval of all Eng fish kings. George I, issued a royal command to Figg to appear before him, and was greatly pleased with the exhibition. The second Georges reign was marked pugflistica1ly by the rise of such great boxers as Tay- Tor, Broughton and Slack, and the king on several occasions occupied the royal box at Broughton's ampIi- theatre. The reign of George III., was the pa1my period of British box ing, when Mendoza, Jackson. Beleher Pearce and Cribb, among others, were in the limeIight.

 Very well, senator" he said, "then you and I. must, as it were, go to the mat; but want to let you know that, if we are to fight it out I shall use every weapon at my com mand"
 The New York Evening Post calls atten- ton to the promptness and earnestness with which Senator Ransdell announced in the Sen ate, the other day, that the seyewitness" had been describing things which never occurred. He said he had differed with the president as to the sugar item, and the president had stated his views ssforcibly, but there had been no at tempt at coercion and no threats in regard to patronage or otherwise.''
 The senator gave plngency to his denial by calling attention to the fact that while he and his colleague Senator Thornton) both vot- Led against the bill, "the highest salaried posi- ton was given to my intimate personal friend, John Fauntleroy, at my special request.
 Attempts to picture the president as tyran- nieal usually collapse in this fashion It is true that MT.

AMERICAN ASTRONOMY

TT-SIIE FIRST observation of the transit of
 Venus by American astronomers was made 145s years ago today from temporary observatory fitted up in the State House yard in Philadelphia This successful observation, which practically marked the beginning of sci entific astronomy in the New World was in charge of the American Philosophical Society, an organization of the foremost scientists and savants ofAthe America of that periods The society was founded by Benjamin Franklin in 1743 and was the parent body of the hundreds of scientific associations in the United States and Canada The transit of Venus over the suns disk has interested astronomers ever since it was first observed by Horrocks in Eng land in 1889 Observation on the passage Of Venus over the suns disk is the best method of ascertaining the distance of the great lumi- nary, and in recent years American astrono- mers have engaged in elaborate observations, notably Of the transit of Venus in 1882, when the American photographic methods were used with great success The only important phe- nomenon of this character in 1914 will be the transit of Mercury Nov.
