If. difficulties which caused storms of pro
tests to go up from the British allies of
Japan, than a vast deal of indignation has
been aroused In Japanese navy circles over
the publication of Sir Ian Hamilton's
reminiscences of the Russo-Japanese war.
Copies of the work have been received
here. The Indignation of the llrltish offi
cers because General Terauchi. the minis
ter of war at the time of the meeting of
the budget committee of the Japanese Diet,
when questioned hy Mr. Oishl. the leader
f the progressive party, replied that If
at any time In the future Inquiry might
leud Japan to express it views regarding
the British army it would not hesitate
to do so. according to the terms of the
treaty. Every one now admits that Gen
eral Terauchi had a perfect right to reply
as he did. But the Indignation of the
Japanese officers regarding General Sir Ian
Hamilton's reminiscences of the war know
no bounds.
Sir Ian Hamilton went to the war !n
the far east as the representative of
Great Britain and as the guest of Japan.
In publishing hla "Staff Officers' Scrap
Book." which is nn open criticism of
Japan' methods. It Is held that he has
at least .violated ' Japan's hospitality. If
he has not strained the "military" or
"fflclal aecreta" laws of Great Britain.
What makes matters even worse la that
the British War office and . . the . Rrilialt
Foreign office must share the blame, since
the "Staff Officers Scrap Book" was ad
vertised some time before It appeared, and
the authorities had plenty of time to stop
It if they had wished to do so.
rrasorahlp la Criticised.
For Instance, referring to the censorship
established by the Japanese. he says:
"Nothing makes Europeans and. perhaps.
especially Americana, more mad than to
feel that they have been cleverly played
upon. Personally. I have never much
minded when my requests for particulars
have been responded to by generalities,
generalities and banalities, for J have
found some of those red herrings to have
an excellent savor."
Regarding the military ability of the
Japanese. Sir Ian Hamilton says, among
other things:
"There are not many enmmandera who
, have resolution enough at the end of a
terribly anxious night and morning to re
Jeet a series of plausible arguments for
leaving well alone. I have heard Lord
Kitchener remark under similar clrcum
stances, 'Tour reasons for not doing what
voit were told to do are the best I ever
heard; now go and do it!'
"Kurokl, however, determined that.
tha main position had been carried. It was
not desirable that further heavy sacrifices
should b imposed on the troops by a
direct attack upon the rear guard, and he
authorised Major General Nlshl to stand hy
and do nothing pending further orders. It
was a pity, but no doubt it Is a very ex
ceptional man who Is able to detach his
iiUnd from the terribly Impressive 'now
of a hard fought field Into the 'then' of
the far future. Yet this Is necessary to
full comprehension that what may seem

to the ultimate sacrifices which may have

what makes the situutlon so difficult ,

According to t lie latest decisions of the

as well as two servants. It

of Parliament, the president and the scc-
tlpnal presidents of the councils of public
works, railway functionaries and ex-func-tionarlcs
above a certain rank and to the
first secretaries of the prime minister and

In aod.tlon, Italian journalists and cor-
respjudents of the chief foreign news

LORD ABERDEEN IN IRELAND
Wife of Lord Lieutenant ! l'onlar
vtlth the Tradesmen In
Dublin.
Hl'HLlN. Feb. :'t. iSpei lal Cablegram
to The Bee.) Lord Aberdeen, who has Jusi
made I. is state entry Into Dublin us lord
lieutenant for the second time, breaks tins
record in being appointed to the lord
lieutenancy after a longer interval from
tils resignation of the position, a lapse of
nearly twenty years, than any of the
other noblemen who have twice held the
Irish vice royalty.. In another lespect Lord
Aberdeen breaks the recoid In Irish vice
regal annals, as being the only viceroy
whose terms of office have been comprised
hi two different centuries. Lord Sydney
was lord lieutenant of Ireland for one
term of office from 16S2 to 1701. In different
ewwiir- aTTjrird- .-orniHirirs,the---TOM '
lieutenant of the Union, held the position
from I7M till 1WI. In different centuries.
Lord Alerdetn's Dial term of office, from
February 10 till August S, 1&6. was of
course 'wholly comprised within the nine
teenth century, and It Is absolutely cer
tain that his second term of office Kill be
comprised wholly within the twentieth
century.
No matter what may be said for or
against the wisdom of arranging for the
return of Lord Aberdeen at this Juncture
In the history of Ireland, there Is not
the slightest doubt ns to the personal
popularity of Lady Aberdeen herself. Tho
tradesmen of Dublin have never forgotten
Lady Aberdeen's endeavors to stimulate
Irish trade and Industry. Since her return
she has stated that she is delighted to find
that her efTorts were not thrown away,
and that the movement which she assisted
has been growing since and taking a
wider scope. The countess expresses her
gratification that the Industrial revival Is
much more than a fashionable affair today,
that It has become a great and a popular
movement, with many modes of activity
and many sources of strength. Her sym
pathy Is finding fresh opportunities for Its
working. It is cordially reciprocated, and
she is welcoming many of the friends
which she made nearly twenty years ago.

LONDON, Feb. i'4. 4 Special Cablegram
to The Bee. Kev. F. L. Davids, rector ol
St. John's vicarage, Tottenham, and chair
man of Lord Rothschild's committee se
lected to take charge of emigration from
Tottenham and the coiigcalwd districts of
London, said. In speaking of the leaving
or the first lumilies sent out by this com
mittee thi month to Canada:
There Is material for the pen of the I

tne worst of criminals wno lelt ti.eir coun
try lur their country's good found Inue
M noViice in these new countries, and their
uesrc iiuants have become men of promi
nence uikI wealth, it is not too much to
predict that men who have always suc
ceeded in remaining honorable in spite of
the struggle t.ir existence will do. at least,
equany well wnen their conditions are Im
proves and the struggle for existence Is
rendered less Intense.
If. a we believe, the percentage of those
who will not make an effort to return the
moneys advanced is infinitely small, it re
solves Itself mto an economic problem. If,
as we iteltcve. tne losses through ill health
Mnd death will be less than tne sums ad
vanced In the form ot poor rale, we shall
have gone a long way toward solving one
of tne world's great problems. .We do not
expect everything we even grant that
pome of tlicxc colonials may act dishonor
ably with us. but we believe that the per
centage, will be far less than might be lm
ngineu pernaps not more man one oul of

Lord Rothschild and his advisers recognize
the taut that tne enure proposition is an
experiment, ana, like all experiments, re
quires time 4or the complete working oui
of all the pians. Hence the report from
the first of these families will be carefully
watched. Lord Rothschild and his com
mittee have hopes being wise men, tne)
are not sanguine, but they have hopes
mat from tnese Mi families can be gath
ered and gleaned facts which will aid In
the settlement of the entire unempioyea
question. Hence the ees of the world wlu
b fixed upon these few colonists who are
going to Canada. As Kev. F. L. V. Davids
of St. John's vicarage. Tottenham, re
marked when some one In the audience at
his church put up the many-are-called-bul-few-chosen
p'.ea. saying: "But 'JDV is not
enough. We can't all go who want to go."
"I am not so sure. If this experiment Is
a success you may rest assured that mors
money will be forthcoming.''
Lord Kothchlld's commitee lias set itM-lf
to prove the following points:
That an adult given a complete outfit of
clothes and a small sum of money can be
emigrated ata cost of only $30.
That by carefully choosing the emigrant
and trusting In the main to his honesty
he will !n lime refund the greater por
tion of the money advanced to him, thus
,'nab"" otne l w "n1'
ct. who would repay the money thus
advanced, as circumstances permitted.
Other Families to Com.
Iu short, it Is hoied that practically the
v.hola of the sum expended will 1 re
turned in time and that the committee
will thus be able to assist -J0u additiu-ial
families to emigrate. But it Is felt by the
committee that the emigrants ought not
to be too severely handicapped in their
new start in life by an sndeavor to repay
the money. A great proportion of the
members of the families selected openly
express the feeling lliai they would prefer
to pay hack all monies advanced, since they
could not be regarded aa objects of eharity
und they would be able to live a free
and Independent life In a new country.
If the experiment succeeds it will be fol
lowed by the raising of large fund, ad-njtnime-cd
by a central committee. Sub
comn tttaes will then be appointed In the
various London districts, who will choose
the families to be assisted in emigrating.
These families will In time repay the
money, an "endless chain" of emigration
entabilt-hed and the "unemployed" will be
sent lo other colonics besides Canada.
Mcauwiiilr. by the way, no end of critic
ism is hoirg heaped upon Mr. John B'a:n

Grain company.
With the removal of The Bee's business
office to the ground floor it will have the

It when the superb Bee building was first
erected. It having always been the Inten
tion to place The Bee advertising and

ment of the tenants could be satisfactorily
accomplished. This will. U Is believed,
give more convenient access to The Bee
to advertising patrona ana subscribers.
Tha work of removal will all have been
done between Saturday evening and Mon
day morning. The Bee's new office rooms
are commodious yet compact. They will

curred this evening a few miles above this
city on the Millvale und Etna division of
the Illtshurg railways. The accidents were
only twenty minutes apart and resulted
from a similar cause, the warm weather
bringing frost from the ground, causing
Ihe rails to spread. One car left the tracks
near Biainett, i'a., and went over an elght-cen-foot
embankment. Injuring thirty pas
sengers, villi" the second car waa sud
denly derall"d opposite the Rising Sun
hotel, located a mile below Bennett, going
over a fifteen-foot embankment and hurt
lug ten of the never teen occupants. That
many people were not killed outright Is
considered miraculous, as both cars were
demolished as a result of the terrific Im
pact when they struck th tracks of the

(From a btaft correspondent.)
WASH1NUTON. Feb. it.-iSpecial Teh
gram.)-By a care Jul canvass there ar
twenty republican senate rs ready to vol
for the Hepburn rate bill without tht
dotting of an I or crossing of a T. Others
will assuredly rail Into line. With the
democratic vote on the main Issue It looks
as If the Hepburn bill would become a
law In ample, time for the electors in the
several congressional districts throughout
tho L'nlted States to determine whether
their servants In congress had mnasurej
up tu the president's uemand for rata
regulation or not.
This morning's big eas.ern dailies, look
ing for sensations and possibly In control
of the great corporate Interests, have tried
to discredit Senator Dolllver of Iowa, who
ha stood like a stone wall In favor of
railroad rate regulation. Because Senator
Tillman, democrat of South Carolina, was
authorised to report the Hepburn bill thera
ha been a 'dance of gnomes about tha
boiling iots in anticipation that thera
would lie no railroad rate bill. But from
sources near to the president It Is learned
tonight thnt the work of yesterday meet
with his approval and he sees, as he said
to a friend from Nebraska today, "light
ahead."
'resident Victimised by Friends.
It might as well be said here now, as
will be said Inter, that President Roose
velt has been victimized by some of his
closest friends. lie gave car to tht user,
lion that the Hepburn bill did not permit
the right of review nfter a rate bad been
fixed by the Interstate Commerce commis
sion. Realizing that the right of review
was Inhe.cnt In ti e const.tut.on, Mr. Koo e
velt was open In his desire that the Hep
burn bill should be so amended as lo give
the corporations und Individuals affected
the right of appeal to a court having tho
right of review.
Insidiously, however, the presidents real
purpose and real desire ha been perverted.
Rumors were thick about tho capitol Uiat
th foures In favor of raw regulation bad
Fo raker and Crane and there were gloomy
forebodings as to tha outcome of the Issua
In the senate. '
Yesterday brought a change and con
sternation to the opponents of rate regula
tion, for Senator Dolllver turned a trick
that will go down as one of the most bril
liant legislative roups in history. In order
to get the Hepburn bill out of the Inter
state commerce clmmlttee Senator Dolll
ver yielded the right to report the bill to
Senator Tillman of Soutn Carolina, who
but last week was the president's most
vitriolic critic. By this move Senator Till
man becomes a champion of President
Roosevelt's first great movement for tha
common people.
No matter how far the effort may go to
discredit Senator Dolllver. fie Is absolutely
satisfied with conditions a they exist, aa
he stated tonight to The Be correspond
ent. DolHver Author of Bill.
Senator Dolllver is the author of th
Hepburn bill. It was to Senator Dolllver,
that the president went when a Mil for
railroad rate regulation was to be pre
pared. Senator Dolllver prepared a bill
and under the name of the Hepburn bill
It pased the house, but the genius who
framed It was the Jun'or senator from
Iowa.
And In this connection the following tel
egram received tonight from Murdo Mack
enzie, president of th American National
Live Stock association, to Attorney Cowan,
now In Washington, Indicates that th
stockmen also knew to whom credit la
due: "On behalf of the stockmen of th
west thank Senator Dolllver for his glo
rious stand."
Better Postal Fnellitle dd.
Senator Millard called at the jiostofflce
department this morning and asked for tha
enlargement of Btatlnn B. Omaha, located
at Leavenworth and Tark avenue. Th
business at this station, according to re
ports, has so increased that the present
quarters are wholly Inadequate to accom
modate the business. Some days th watt
ing line of patrons of the office extends
Into the street. The department agreed to
send an Inspector to Omaha to look into
the matter with a view of adjusting the
difficulty.
Representative Pollard had an Interview
with Fourth Assistant Postmaster Gen
eral DeOraw for the purpose of securing
an extension of rural free delivery rout
Xo. 2. running from Salem, Richardson,
county, Nebraska. The business along this
route has generally Increased since Its
establishment, according to reports In the
congressman's posseaolon, and patrons are
hopeful that facilities for more prdmpt
handling of their mall may lie provided.
Mr. DeGraw told Mr. Pollard ho would
designate an Inspector to look Into affairs
elons the Salem route.
