Feb. 0 ion(Hvrt Information that ontUJapanoso legisla tion will involvo tho United States In troublo with Japan la all that will Mo vant tho final nnsBaito of Grovn L. Johnson's Jupancso school bill in tho assembly next Wednesday morning. Tho lower house hns taken Speaker Stanton at his word and awaits en lightenment upon tho great Bccrols of state, publicly or privately. If tho conversation of mombers today reflects tho Bontlmcnt of tho assembly, tho slightest ofliclnl intimation that legis lation adverse to tho interests and wel fare of tho JapancHo in this country mny causo International complications Will be BitiTlciont to kill every unti- Japaneso bill. , If, however, this official hformation cannot bo produced by Stanton, If ho cn't "make good," then tho assembly will demonstrate that tho sneaker mav cry "wolf" hut onco. Stanton's dramatic pleadintr for de lay Friday Is tho talk of tho legisla ture. In both houses tho mombors are asking, "What in tho world did ho mean?" Arrayed against Governor Glllctt. Stanton nnd tho conservatives, how ever, ifl n strong anti-Japanese forco which In merely conciliatory. The postponement of final action on tho achool bill was in tho nature of an armistice and back of that action is a determination to pass every nnti-Japa- ncse bill If tho speaker cannot mako good his suggestion that Information would bo submitted to show tho folly of antagonizing Japan. Tho propo nents of the anti-Japanese measures aro quite frank in saying that Stanton must produce documentary proof of tho imminenco of conflict betweon this country and Japan and that nothing olso will kill the bills. That Stanton will mako good may bo inferred from tho remark of Governor Gillett thnt Japan has served notico upon tho United States to tho'oTcct that any drastic anti-Japanese lugitla tion will be regarded as a breach of faith. "You know what breach of faith means in tho parlance of diplomats," eald tho govornor. "Between two na tions It is a very serious thing. It may mean tho end of diplomatic rela tions. It is unnecessary for mo to ex plain tho significance of tho recall of on ambassador," Tho governor will not divulge tho naturo of tho matter which has been forwarded to him by Prcsidont Boose volt. It is, however, understood that this, together with additional facts relative to tho diplomatic relations of tho United States nnd Japan, which will bo sent from Washington by tele graph, may be submitted to the assem bly Tuesday. It is tho opinion of btan ton that tho display of this information will end tho Japanese embroglio. AFTER MORE PACKERS.

Tho unusual honor conferred upon Representative Fitzgerald by Speaker Cannon in appointing him chairman of the special committco to investigate tho regularity of bills and resolutions signed by more than one member, has brought out tho fact that Mr. Fitzger ald is slated for a position on tho com mittco on rules of tho next house. Ho is tho only Democrat to bo appointed chairman of a committco during th present congress. In his invocation today Chaplain Coudcn, of tho house, paid a beautiful tributo to Abraahm Lincoln. Mr. Bou toll, of Illinois, read Lincoln's Gettys burg address.

The agricul tural appropriation bill wns passed by the houso today, practically as it came from tho committee. Tho debate dragged wearily on for several hours, when tho proceedings woro enlivened by a brief but spirited tilt between Macon of Arkansas and Cook of Colorado, During the debate on tho agricultural appropriation bill Bartlett of Georgia nuggested that soma provision should bo made for tho preservation of the 'possum and provoked the houso to laughter by reading a humorous dia logue between two negroeB. who found fault with President-elect Taft'srccpnt 'poBsum dinner in Atlanta on tho ground that 'possum was not a white man's dish. All attempts to pass at this time tho census bill over tho president's veto were abandoned today by leaders of the houso and senate. Senator Gallinger has presented to tho senate a document known as "hy- drojrraphic data concerning United States navy yards and stations," in or der to mnke a permanent record as to the actual depth of water that prevails at the various naval yards and in the channels to sea. Tho data is based on information token from government surveys. From tho tablo it is shown that tho Puget Sound navy yard has tho greatest depth of water, varying from 37 feet to 61 feet, with Portsmouth, N. H., second with a depth of 33 to 37 feet, while next in order como Norfolk, League Island, Now York, Mare Island, Charleston, Washington and Pensacolti. A successful fight led by Shabath of Illinois was made against the senate amendment to the bill amending the naturalization laws, which, among other thiners, increased tho natural iza tion fee from $5 to ?10. Mann of Illi nois openly charged that the proposed incroased feo was simply an attempt to put more money in tho pockets of clerks of courts. By an emphatic vote the conference report was rejocted and the bill laid on tho table. A tributo to Lincoln by Boutell of Illinois closed tho day's proceedings. Wodnesday, February 10. Washington, Feb. 10. Following close upon tho discovery that Senator Philander C. Knox could not, without violating a provision of tho constitu tion of tho United Sratos, accept tho State portfolio in tho Taft cabinet, the senate took prompt action today to re movo tho constitutional objection. Senator Halo introduced a resolution, which was referred to tho committee on tho judiciary, providing that tho salary of tho secrotary of Btato bo re duced from $12,000 to $8,000, tho fig uro at which it stood before it was In creased, along with thoso of all other cabinet officers two years ago. In view of this resolution, Assistant Attorney Gennral Russell held that if congress rostorcd tho salary tho case fell outaldo tho purpose of tho law and was not within tho law. In tho houso there was general ac ceptance of tho suggestion for tho re peal of tho law standing In tho way of Senator Knox's transfer to tho Stalo department, but it was not accepted by all as feasible. Some mcmbors raised the question, if oven after a repeal, ho would not be prohibited, inasmuch as tho constitution forbids tho appoint ment to an office, tho salary of which has been raised during tho appointeo's term as a member of congress, nothing being flafd about the subsequent reduc tion of tho salary m. . . -i..t.1!-l Af n .Viilrlrnn'n inO CBIUUIIHIWIUIIV ui bureau In tho department of labor 1b provided for in a bill which .the bouac committee on cxpenuunrvu ucwv to report favorably.

As there is little litigation in tho zone, the report says, there is no nocnanitv for three ludces of the Su premo court there at present, nor for tho court at all, it appeals do omer wiso provided for. Thn HtnrMiflRion broucrht out that President-elect Taft had been consulted concerning tho provision giving to the president absolute authority in the mnttor nf constructing the canal and providing for tho abolishing of the present canal commission. The prospects for the passage of the resolution making February 12, the 100th anniversary oi .Lincoln, a legal holiday in the District of Columbia and tho territories, were dimmed in the house today through an objection by Mr, Underwood of Alabama, to a mo tion to Bend tho resolution to confer ence. An amuBing encounter between Smith of Michigan and Lodge of Mas sachusetts marked the debate of the Canadian boundary waterways treaty in the executive session of the senate today. Lodge asserted that the foreign ailairs committee bad received from the State department 'information which he believed answered Smith's objections. Smith in his reply declared that the treaty had not been prepared by ex Secrptary Root, but that it was the work of Chanler Anderson, a New York lawyer, who has been engaged by the Stato department on various occasions in connection with treaties' affecting the relations of this country and Cana da. Smith intimated that Mr. Ander son was too close to the interests that control power rights at Niagara Falls and that the whole treaty was prepared for the purpose of quieting the titles of New York corporations to these rights.

The resolution will be signed and jointly introduced by all of those who have como out against the present rules, and these claim that many more have expressed their intention of help ing the movement. Because of tho plank in the Democratic platform in tho recent presidential campaign which pledged the party in favor of a change in tho rulcB of tho house, the "insur gents" are counting on" the aid of the minority members, although they claim that no etiort to join forces has been made. The houso gavo virtually the entire session to the consideration of bills pertaining to the District of Columbia. A message from tho president was read recommending a law requiring ocean-going vessels to be equipped with wireics3 toiegraph apparatus. President Roosevelt sent to tho sen ate today the report of n commission appointod by him to make an examina tion of tho laws enacted for tho hotter security of lifo at Bea, with a vlow to their hotter adaptation. The report recommends a systematic rearrange ment anu codittcation ot existing laws, togetner with such chances as oxnori once and present day conditions ,seom to require. Pension Ex-Presidents.

WRITES OF UNSTRUCK BLOW. President Says Riding Story Is Not Worth Denial. Los Angeles, Feb. 9. Mrs. A. W. Rhoades, of this city, whose daughter was mentioned in the Washington story which was widely circulated to the effect that' President Roosevelt had struck the young lady's horse while riding naat her on .the road, has receiv ed the following letter from the presi dent on the subject: "My Dear Mrs. Rhoades: I thank you for your letter of the 29th ultimo and am glad to hear from you that your daughter denied the story that I Btruck her horse. Of course I never struck Vior hnrsn or nnv other ladv's horSC. The whole story was so absurd as not to be worth denial. Numerous stories of this kind are started from time to time by foolish or malicious people. Occasionally I am oblfged to deny them, but as a rule I find it best sim ply to ignore them, because denying them calls attention to them and gives a chance to mischief-makers to mislead well-meaning people by further repeti tions of the stories.

As amended by the joint committee on game, the season for hunting pheasants has been short ened to one month October 15 to No vember 15. The limit has been reduc ed from ten to five birds a day.

Berlin, Feb. 9. The visit of King Edward tomorrow is regarded general ly in itself as an event at the present moment of the greatest political signi ficance, and with the feeling that it would be an excellent thing' for both nations if the meeting of the two mon- archs resulted in a mutual understand ing tending to allay international ten sion. From no quarter, however, is the expectation voiced with any confi dence that the visitof the English king will produce direct tangible effects. King Edward is accompanied by Queen Alexandra, and official circles welcome the royal visitors in the most courtly tone, regarding their coming to Berlin as a return for the emperor's visit to England, and are making no comment on the political importance of the event. Cologne, Feb. 8. King Edward and Queen Alexandra arrived here at 10:30 o'clock tonight and proceeded to Ber lin. 1 STAGE WORSE THAN EVER. Archbishop Farley Calls Modern Plays "Orgies of Obscenity."

We see today men and women old men and old women who ought to know better, bring the young to these orgies of obscenity." Wheat Market Soaring. Chicago, Feb. 9.
