ASK SPOILS OF WAR JAPAN FEELS VICTORY OVER RUS SIA COST HEAVILY. DEMANDS RIGHT TO RECOUP Justifies Negative of Proposition of the United States to Neutralize Rail ' way Property Says Riot Would Follow. Toklo The proposition of the United Stutes for the neutralization of the railways in Manchuria came as a sur prise, nnd the publication or the de tails of the note, which was handed to tho Japanese government December 30 by the American ambassador, aroused nn Immediate chorus of disapproval. Putting aside all questions of th busi ness or political advisability of tho proposition, sentiment entered most largely Into the attitude of tho people of Japan. The foreign office, while nd mlttlng that such a note had been re ceived, would give no intimation as to how it had been or would ho treated. Count HaytshI, the last minister for foreign affairs and for a year ambas sador to Great Brltlnn, Count Okuma, formerly ono of the most active states men, and every one whose name enr rled any weight whatsoever, wero quoted In tho nowspapers In strenuous objections to giving up what is claimed to be tho harvest of tho wnr with Ru sia. "Tens of thousands of our soldiers died In Manchuria In the war with Russia," they said. "The material side Is represented by the south Mnnchur Ian railway and the Autung-Mukden. The leased territory and Port Arthur were only recovered. These we won ten years before, and lost again by tho Intrigue of certain powers when United States, hitherto always our friend, comes Into combination with other powers and proposes that wo should give up tho south Manchurlnn railway, a paying road, and the An-tung-Mukdcn, the continuation of our railroaos in Korea to the control of foreigners and strangers. "The reasons assigned for this are that tho principle of the 'open door' and 'equal opportunity for all nations doing business In China must be pre served," but Japan has entered Into solemn agreement with the powers of America and Europe to preserve the Integrity of China and to maintain the principle of the open door and equal opportunity In concert with China and with all other nations and to this Jap an has adhered religiously. "In two ways, therefore, the United States attacks the honor and the senti ment of the people of Japan. Is It any wonder that we refuse to permit our government even to suggest that the proposal has been received by Ja pan with equanimity?" This statement practically voices the entire expression heard from the pub lic during tho first forty-eight hours after tho news of the receipt of Sec retary Knox's note. Rut further sen intent was expressed thus: "Tho riots that followed the making of the treaty of Portsmouth would not be a circumstance to the trouble that would follow tho relinquishment by Japan of her rights In Manchuria, even though Bho received twice the Intrin sic value." So far as can ho learned by respon sible Investigators there Is little or no foundation for the charges or discrim ination brought against Japan In con nection with trade In Manchuria. The leading business firms of England and America aro, In common with the Japanese, suffering from a depreda tion In the trade in this territory, but that depreciation is due to conditions over which neither the Japanese nor any other country for the present has any control. One thing may be set down as ab solutely certain, and that is that Ja pan is not going to glvo up her right In the south Manchurlnn railway until those rights shnll be terminated by the lapse of tho term for which Japan baa control. Japan was given control of the South Manchurlan railway for a period of thirty-six years from the signing of the Portsmouth treaty. Tho Antung-Mukden rnllwny will remain In possession of .In pun for fifteen years. There are now In Manchuria about thirty thousand Japanese settlers, and since they aro within the zone of the railroad, where Japan hns a sphere of Influence, the proposed taking over by the powers would place the Interest? or these In jeopardy.

NEWS FROM THE CAPITAL CITY Items of Interest Around the Stato House State General Fund Full. For tho first time In the history of the state, so far ns known, the Btato treasurer has $100,000 In the general fund and the state Is out of debt. Tho state generally had scads of school funds on hand and for many years has had $S.000,000 of such funds Invested in interest bearing securities, but us ually there Is nothing In the general fund and often that fund Is far be hind and school funds aro used to take up state warrants presented for payment. As fast as general funds come In they are used in such cases to take up state warrants that havo been registered to the credit of the school fund. The unusual occurrence of $100,000 in the general fund nnd no outstand ing warrants to Luke tip, caused Treas urer L. G. Brian to rake tip a law passed In 1S79 which provider that when there Is In tho hands of the stato treasurer money of the state In excess of $100,000 he shall In writing notify the governor nnd stnte auditor of the fact and within throe days after such not Ico is given the governor, treasurer and auditor shnll meet in solemn conclnve and decide whether or not tho excess funds shall bo In vested in 4 per cent government bonds or whether or not the money shall bt kept as necessary funds to meet tho current demnnds upon the ntato treas urer. Tho treasurer served this notice Wednesday. Tho old statute is considered some thing of a joke. In the llrst place, there there are no 4 per cent government bonds floating about and in tho sec ond plnce tho $100,000 will soon melt away in the payment of current ex penses of tho state government. The three officers mentioned In the statute will decide to keep the money in the trensury to meet demands months hence, when receipts at the treasury are light nnd expenses heavy. It will be laid up against the rainy dayuthat come In the summer time when little money Is received at tho treasury. Tho receipts are just now heavy on account of remittances from county treasurers who are required to settle annually with the state. Tho wiping out or the state debt which was in the form of registered warrants was due to tho Sheldon one mill tax law which was in force sev eral years. No levy has beon mado for this year under that law. Favors Local Inspection. State Veterinarian .TucklnesH, on ac count of a recent experience, Is In favor of local inspection of meat He does not care for the much praised home killed pork slnco he stopped in a little town In Nebraska and visited a butcher shop where homo killed meat was sold. He found two car casses of hogs hanging up back of the shop. Both cnrcnsscR showed the effect of tuberculosis generalized. The disease was apparent throughout the carcasses, It not being confined to a few of the organs. He wont into the shop and there found another tuber culosis carcass on tho block. He does not believe butchers kill tuberculosis animals purposely but Is of tho opin ion that they do not always know an affected animal. Ho thinks local in spection by trained veterinarians ought to be established. Tho Btato food commissioner's employes nre not supposed to be experts In testing car ensues for disease, but aro supposed to know merely whether or not food 1s decomposed. Flour Rate an Issue. The complaint of Kendall & Smith of Woodlawn against tho Burlington wns heard Tuesday by tho railway commission. The complainants opor nte a flouring mill at Woodlawn, near IJncoln, and tho complaint alleges that a rato of $5 a car on flour and grain products, which was cancelled befpro the, commission came into ex istence, should be restored or somo other reasonable rate established. The railroad company alleges that tho grain rato to Lincoln wnB B cents a hundred and Is now 4'i cents a hun dred, which would ennbk) Kenadll & Smith to ship a finished product, cheaper than Lincoln millers could get raw material. It was alleged that tho mill was not built on tho strength of tho nor car load rato, hut wns built In 1872, many years before tho car rate was established. Fined $100 for Killing a Deer.
