HE IS NOT DIGNIFIED ENOUGH Hint TBat He "Would Be Unwelcome at TeUIo Mar ItcsiAt In His Goins to Seme Other Country Sena tor SIbigb'i Opinion. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash, lngton, Dec. 9. During a call on Secretary Hay today the Japanese Minister, Kogoro Takahira, diplomatically but firmly Inti mated that the appointment of John Bar rett "as Minister to Japan would not be as pleasing to ths Imperial government at To klo as that of some other man. No formal protest was filed agalnet Barrett's ap pointment, but the statements of the Jap anese Minister were such as to leave no room for doubt aa to the desires of his home government. Mr. Barrett visited Japan during the past Summer, when he had more or less Inter course with many of the Japanese officials with whom he would come in contact an Minister to that country, "it is stated that the chief objection to him Is on account of his lack of the dignity and poise of charac ter which the punctilious Japanese states men display in their intercourse with the representatives of foreign .governments at home and abroad. Just what effect this attitude of the Jap anese government will have on Mr. Bar rett's status is not known. His .nomina tion has not yet been eent to the Senate, as be has not accepted the appointment, probably because the official cablegram has ,UQt yet reached him. This new develop ment, coupled with tho opposition of a number of Senators, may result in the Pldent withdrawing the appointment lilt is more likely to result in a shifting about of our Ministers to Oriental coun tries in order that a more acceptable per pon may be sent to Japan and Mr. Bar rett be given some other post. It is hardly possible at this stage that he will be Ig nored or dropped out altogether. Senator Simon, In discussing Barrett's case wittf a party today, said that some people of Oregon have Indorsed him, but there Is no general interest In his case, as he has practically abandoned the state and has few if any Interests there.

AGAINST SHIP SUBSIDIES BRITISH PAlililAMEXTARY COMMIT TEE SPEAKS. But SnKKcsts Exclndinj? Foreign Ships From ConstvFisc Trade of Britain and Colonics. LONDON, Dec. 9. The report ot the se lect committee of the House of Commons hn steamship subsidies was Issued to- nignu its general tenor js aisuncuy agalnst the principle of granting sub sidies. The committee finds that Brit ish shipowners have not 'suffered much from the fostering effects of subsidies paid by forclcn governments: that subsidies are merely minor factors, and that com- ' merclal skill and Industry were the ma. I Jor factors In the recent development of the shipping and trade of certain foreign j countries, notably Germany. j It Is also found by the committee that . subsidies restrict free competition and ( facilitate the establishment or federations and shipping rings, and that therefore a general system of subsidies, except for services rendered, and without govern ment control of the maximum ratoa on freights. Is costly and Inexpedient- In rare cases, where, in view of the special Imperial considerations, subsidies may be desirable, the committee declare.1?, the con dition must Include adequate speed and 1 forbid the sale or hire of any subsidized ship without the permission of the gov ernment. The committee considers that In order ' to give British shipowners a fair show against their foreign rivals the Board of Trade regulations should be enforced against foreign, equally with British, 6hips; that all light dues should be abo'.- ' Ished. the cost being defrayed by the na- f tlon, and that means should be adopted to secure the removal of regulations by which British shipowners are excluded, from the coasting trade of foreign coun tries. The committee susftasts that regulations should be Imposed on foreign vessels par- I tlclpatlng In tle British and Colonial trade of the empire, as a means for 32- curing reciprocal advantages for British J shipowners abroad. Dealing with the Morgan transfer, the report says: "If the American railway management unites with the steamship management, . a 'very Influential undertaking may per- j haps be formed, but too many Interests are often Involved to make euch com- , blnatlons quite as powerful as they might quite certain that the transfer of British J ships to foreign flags, whether owning for eign subsldiea or otherwise, may cause serious rosults, such as developing new trades In which British shipowners, with out government backing, cannot cngaga and the substitution of foreign officers and crews for British." The report points out that, as the coast line of the British Empire is tho great est of any country in the world. Great Britain has no need to fear effective re taliation If she reserves the British and the Colonial coastwise trade and Imperial coasting trade, which would Include voy ages between any two points' of fhe em pire, to British and colonial ships and to vessels of nations opening their coast ing trade to British and colonial ships."

MARBLE BEDS OF ALASKA Immense Quarries Will Soon Found a New Industry. Ketchikan' Mining Journal. . It Is being gradually demonstrated that the wealth of Alaska In natural resources consists not alone in vast deposits of gold, copper and other minerals, her fisheries, timber and undisputed great agricultural and grazing capabilities, but that other sources of wealth a few years ago not oven dreamed of await the enlistment of capital -with the almost absolute certainty of large returns In the way of profits. Among these natural resources marble ls destined to take a prominent place In the future industrial history of the district. The existence of Immense beds of marble In various parts of Alaska has long been known, but until quite recently very lit tle, If anything, has been done to settle the question as to their commercial or In dustrial value. That question now seems In a fair way to a satisfactory solution, sd that there Is little room to doubt but that the quarrying of marble will scon be made one of the leading industries of the district. For the past four months the American Coral Marble Company, with headquarters at Tacoma. Wash., has been quietly at work prospecting some- marble properties located on the North Arm of Molra Sound, at Doloml. and to the eastward of the last named place on Clarence Strait. Prince of Wales Island.
