TOXIC, November 1.-The Man
choukuo government, it was learned
today, has already moved to effect an
oil monopoly. despite representations
by the United States, Great Britain
and the Netherlands.
Disregarding the foreign charges
that the scheme is discriminatory and
violates the principle of the open
door. steps have been instituted to
assume early possession Of extensive
marketing installations made in
Manchoukuo by the Standard Oil Co.
of New York and the British Asiatic
Petroleum Co., reliable sources said.
They are to be eliminated from
profitable distributing and retailing
businesses built up during recent
decades.
May Take Over Plants.
Both companies received from the
Manchoukuo ministry of finance noti-
fication that the monopoly will be
instituted in the very near future"
and that ''in all probability the pres
ent marketing and selling system will
be greatly changed"
officials of the companies were
instructed to report to Hsinking on
their imports and sales in Manchou-
kuo since January l, 1882, where
their agents are located and the size
of their businesses, and finally all
property, with its cost, dates of erec-
ton and other details with a view to
its transfer to Manchoukuo upon an
estimate of fair valuation.
Previously it was learned, without
notifying the Standard Oil or the
British company, officials Of Man
choukuo notified the companies ma
tive agents to come to HSinking to
confer on their employment under the
monopoly set-up after the foreign con-
Germs have been eliminated.
Discrimination Is Denied.
Despite assurances that purchases
of crude oil for the Manchoukuan Oil
Co.'S refinery at Dairen would be
allotted to foreign companies on a
proportionate basis of their sales dur
ing the past two years, neither the
Standard Oil nor the British Asiatic
is participating in these sales.
officials of Hsinking and Toxic
have flooded the Japanese press with
statements attempting to show that
the scheme is justified and non-dis-
criminatory, Hsinking basing its de-
fense ON the necessity for stabilizing
national life and the promotion OF
cultural development" in Manchoukuo
Foreign interests reiterate that the
plans are definitely discriminatory be-
cause of the preference admittedly
given the Manchuria Oil Co., the capi-
tai of which is 80 per cent japanese

Foreign interests were informed that
it was useless for them to attempt to

PROVIDENCE, r. l., November l.
The lowly skunk has come into his
own in Rhode Island.
His name shines forth in all the
spotlight of the political campaign
for the election of a United States
Senator, Governor and two members
of the House. For the Democrats
have dubbed the Republicans skunk

the house of the G. o. P.
1t all came about in this way. Will
liam G.. Troy, Democratic floor leader
of the State Senate, in an unguardec
moment, speaking at a Democratic
rally about 10 days ago, SAID:
1T is unfair that some skunk hunt
er from West Greenwich has as much
power in the Senate as a good citizen
from larger town or city"
Each Town Gets Seat.
To grasp the meaning of this COM
ment of Troy, it is necessary to know
that under the Rhode Island constl-
tuition each city and town, regardless
Of size, is entitled to one seat in the
State Senate. Providence is the only
exception. That city, which has a
large share of the States total popu-
lation, has been accorded four Sen
ators. The City of PaWtucket, with
10000 population, for example, has
one Senator, and so has the town OF
West Greenwich. whose total popula-
ton is around 500.
West Greenwich casts about zoe
Republican votes in an election. II
has always been singled out by the
Democrats as glaring example oi
the rotten borough" system by which
the State Senate is chosen. The
Democrats have agitated time ano
again for a constitutional convention
to change the basic law of the State
so that representation in the Senate
shall be in accordance with the popu-
lation.

U. S. CITES PACT TO TOXIC.
State Department Asks Japan to Keep
Agreement.
BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.

BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.
The solemn declaration of the Jap
anese government that the principle
of the open door policy will be OBJ
served in Manchuria form the basis
of the representations which are being
made by the United States Govern
ment to Toxic, in connection with the
oil monopoly planned by the Man
choukuo government to the detriment
of the American oil companies.
Joseph Grew, American Ambassador
at Toxic, has been instructed by the
State Department to make the neces-
sary representations to the Japanese
government against this measure.
Conversations between the Ameri-
can Ambassador and the Japanese
government are continuing, without
satisfactory results.
The State Department is following
the situation closely, but is unwilling
to disclose what steps it intends to
take should the oil monopoly in Man
churia actually be put into force
As soon ss it became known that
the government of Manchuria in
tended to establish an oil monopoly
and take over the rights of the Stand
ard Oil Co. in Manchuria, the State
Department made the necessary repre-
sentations at Toxic.
The japanese government replied
that it could not accept any such
protest from the United States, since
this was an internal matter of the
independent" State of Manchoukuo.
Any representations, Ambassador
Grew was informed, should be ad-
dressed directly to Hsinking. Natu-
rally, since America does not recognize
Manchoukuo, such direct representa-
tions were impossible.
Ambassador Grew was instructed to
draw the attention of the Toxic gov
ernment to the fact that it had re-
peatedly stated that the separation OF
Manchuria from China would not in
terfere in any way with the trade
rights of the nationals Of the sigma
tories of the nine power pact.

when she must return to the heavens
She left him mirror to remember
her BY. She was going back to her
fathers palace in the moon, and on
the night of full Spring moon she
departed.
The grief-stricken Emperor resolved
to follow her, and dashed up the
slopes of Fuji, carrying the mirror
in his hands. When he reached the
summit he could go no farther. He
was so close to heaven when the sun
rose that the mirror concentrated

Still another cherry blossom legend,
with a thread of tragic symbolism
running through it, is that of the
lady Yaye-Zukuna, the spirit Of the
eight-petaled cherry. The prince OF
the grasses fell in love with her and
they were married. This aroused the
jealousy of the flower brides sister,
the plumb blossom lady, who began
organizing the forest trees to make
war on the grasses. They finally de-
stroyed them by fire and the prince

The spirit of Ko-no-hana -sakya-
hime, the celestial maiden, flutters
over Washington.
In Japan, where the blossoming
cherries on the hillsides are Spring S
coronation robes, a wealth of fairy
lore has come down out of the ages.
Some of it is as light and silken as
the blossoms themselves. Some is
loaded with symbolism of the funda-
mental mysteries of life and death.
When the cherries came to Wash
ington they left their Legendary in
Nippon. 1t is revealed by DR.. Masa-
haru Anesaki, professor of the science
of religion at the Imperial University
of Toxic, in recent publication
of the Archaeological Institute of

earth and fell in love with the flower
lady. He asked the god for the
mountains for permission to marry
her. The father welcomed the pros
pect of a heavenly son-in-law, but
warned Ninigi he had better marry
the older sister instead She had
such mean disposition, he said, that
otherwise he feared the mischief she
would make.
Ninigi had no heart for the lady of
the rocks. He persisted in paying
court to Ko-no-hana- -sakya -hime.
Iwa-naga- -hime was furious when she
heard he had married her sister.
IF you had married me-" she said
bitterly to Ninigi, ''our children would
be as everlasting as the rocks. Now
your children will be frail and short
lived as the flowers
So it has been. The legend Prof.
Aresaki holds, represents a rationale
zation of the fact that members of
the imperial family have been short
lived. They come into the world with
the malediction of the Lady of the
Rocks upon them.

SONS are synbolized by five fairies,

century, so the story goes, the En-
peror Temmu was playing on a mu-
sical instrument in his palace when
five fairies appeared in the sky play
ing upon similar instruments in har-
mony with the royal musician. Then
they came down and danced before
him. Ever since the music and the
dance have been part of the festivi-
ties after each coronation ceremony.
The event is described by Japa-
nese poet, quoted by DR.. Anesaki, as
follows:
Music is heard in the sky,
Miraculous perfumes fill the air,
Petals fall from heaven like rain

Marshal Of the day when the
cornerstone Of the Dakota terri

here Sept. S, 1883. was Captain
William Harmon, father Of J. r.
Harmon, present auditor Of Sioux
county.
This was recalled by the Sioux
auditor Oct. 8, 1882, when he came
here to attend the cornerstone
program for the new capitol on
that day.
As a boy Harmon remembers
hearing his father speak Of the
celebration and of the huge
crowds assembled here for that
pioneer occasion, he said.
With Harmon here on that fall
day in 1882 was Frank FiSke, Fort
Yates newspaper man and pho
