Leirlslatare I Opposed. "It is known a a matter of legislative history that I recommended a measure at tho last session, having for Its object the establishment of a state constabulary along the line of the Texas Rangers, which was rejected by that body, the members thereof still being In office. The assembly of that session, with the vote of all but one, passed a resolution, denouncing the injustice done Moyer, Hayward and Pettlbone by the de nial of a speedy trial. The resolution, how ever, was tabled by the senate. It is a mat. ter of only a few weeks since I called for the opinions of different representatives and Individual cltltens of the state gen erally as to the advisability of .convening a special session to act upon such an emergency, whic however, did not re late to the present situation. The expression I received then indicated that 5 per cent of tho people were opposed to such extra session. For geographical rea sons on account Of the customary ten days' notice to members It would be Impossible to convene and organize a special session of the legislature In less than three weeks, presuming on the most expeditious action on the part of the members. For these reasons I deemed1 It Impossible to convene the legislature In special session to meet the present emergency, and still think it highly Inadvisable. TJils telegram wa In course of preparation on the 17th Inst, In reply to your telegram of that date, but I was taken ill and have only Just re turned to my office. I am now sending it in lieu of letter which I wired you was In course of preparation. The delay waa not Intentional on my part and no discourtesy meant thereby. (Signed.) "JOHN SPARKS. Governor."

The special commission appointed by the president to Investigate condition at Gold fleld returned today after spending a week In tho mining camp. A report will be made to the president on hi return from Pine Knot, Nothing will be given out In advance out of' the report.

TOKIO. Dec. 28. The twenty-fourth Diet was opened today by the emperor, who de livered the speech from the throne In the House of Peers. The emperor In a three minute speech laid stress on the Increas ingly cordial relations with foreign powers and the Important bearing on peace In the far east of the entente cordlale concluded with Russia and Franco by' Japan. He spoke of the Importance of more care ful deliberation of fiscal matters and said ho exported the concurrence of the Diet In the budget which would be presented by the government. The opening scene in the upper house was a brilliant one. The 377 members com posing the house were clothed In full even ing dress, while the members of the differ ent diplomatic corps wore their uniforms. The emperor was driven to and from the Diet in a closed carriage under the escort of a company of lancers. The overwhelming majority of the gov ernment in the Diet makes It Improbable that there will be any extended debates, al though there may bo some on the finance and Immigration questions. It Is generally understood, however, that all the leaders are practically agreed 'on tho government's policy looking toward the restriction of emigration. American Question Next. A discussion of the Japanese government's program and mcyfd of limitation of emi gration has commenced between the for eign offlre and American Ambassador O'Brien. Immediately after the departure of Canadian Minister of 'Labor Lemleux, Baron Chinda, vice minister of fArelgn af fairs, drove to the American embassy from the station and discussed the American proposals and suggestions offered by Am bassador O'Brien. It Is understood that the discussion was eminently satisfactory and that a memorandum report will soon be forthcoming. It Is quite evident now that the Japanese government recognises the mistakes of ad ministration on 4he part of a minor official In the past created the present difficult situation and Is determined that the future restriction of emigration will make com plaints from the United States Impossible. The difficulty of dealing with the possi bility of emigrants going over the borders of, Canada and Mexico is now occupying much attention. LONDON "COP" ABOVE BRIBES He Will Not Scorn Petty "Graft" In Wny of Tip or Mio of Ale. LONDON, Dec. 28. (Speclal.)-Haa Eng land an Incorruptible police force? The question has been raised by the recent ex perience of Nelson Darborough, the American who was fined $300 at the Guildford assises the other day ftff offer ing a bribe to an English cop who re fused It. - The London police have Just been through a severe Investigation by a royal commission which la a sort of glorified legislative committee. All sort of people came forward . with charge against the police, but only, two or three alleged that they had bribed policemen, and In every case the charges Were lacking In proof and were regarded as merely spiteful by the members of tho commission. Nearly every police magistrate In London gave evidence and they all agreed that the po lice were Incorruptible. Sir Edward HenrV. the chief commis sioner of metropolitan police! the com manding officer of the great torce which guards London and the surrounding dis tricts Is probably one of the greatest authorities on the work of the English po lice, and when he was asked what he thought of the honesty of the English police he said: "From what I know of the tone of the men, I am satisfied that If any Individ ual were to take money for neglecting his duty or for protecting lawbreakera. It would certainly come to the knowledge of his comrades and that his comrades would look en him as an unmitigated blackguard and that he could not remain on the force for long." Even higher tribute to the British meth ods waa paid a few months ago by Po lice Magistrate Morgan of New York, who spent a few weeks in London studying the police court methods hero. "I thought we were mart at homo," he said, "but you beat u. There is no non sense over here, no ball bond scandal, no influential friends trying to pull the wool over the magistrate's eyes and flf party favoritism. "Everybody is treated alike, and I like the way your police do their duty. They don't seem to be too friendly with tho prisoners and they don't seem to forget things overnight, a many members of tho New York force often seem to do. 1 should say that the London policeman Is remarkably honest and far too good for the Job, considering the pay, he gets. At home I find It difficult to believe a police man at all. Here I should say that It Is the exception when a policeman does not give hi evidence fairly and honestly." The English policeman, it Is true, ac cept a tankard of ale. a tot of whiskey, or a good cigar at the saloon's side door, yet ten minute later, when closing time comes, he will "pull" -that house if It be but a bar minute late In dlrgorglng It crowd and locking up. The pay of the English police force 1s miserable compared with American police" salaries. Here in London $tl a week Is a cop' pay after a year' probation. With thl In view possibly there might be more bribery and corruption, more open "graft," but for the' organization and discipline of tho force. These are simply superb. The roundsman, sergeant and ir spector In England really work. The constable on the treet flare not get off the beaten track. The punishment meted out to erring policemen is Intensely se vere. There are no mere reprimands. The English cop must be without blemish Or Instant dismissal without any red tape or appeal results. TALK NOW OF SPECIATsESSION Possibility Federal Troops May Re main In Nevada t'ntll One May Be Called. WASHINGTON. D. C, Deo. 28. In answer to the question as to whether It had been determined to suspend the operation of the order tor the withdrawal of the troops from Goldfleld. the reply wa made at the War department today that It weuld be for the president to determine that ques tion, but if any disposition waa shown by the governor of Nevada to deal with the disorder tn th mining sac t ion the War department probably would be willing to permit the Vnited State troop to remain In Goldfleld a reasonable length of time, up to about three weeks, in order to enable the legislature to meet and p neoessary legislation fti . the ubject. Th War de pal tment t particularly dirou of Using relieved from the cliurgo that It Is main taining the troops In defiance of the con stitutional provision that they should be called for by the legislature. It I true that the governor of a state ran make such a call when the legislature Is not In session, but only when he cannot convene that body, which Is not the case at the present time. CRIME NOT IN THE COUNTRY Accused Member of Duma Declare Their Acts Took Flaro on Forelara toll. ST. PETERSBURG, Dec. 28. The trial or the member of the first Duma who signed the Vlborg manifesto, was con tinued this morning. It lias been ex pected that today would see the confluslon of the esse, but owing to the decision of several of the defendants to plead their Own cause the hearing will go over until Mon day. Tho former deputies are being tried on charges of treason. The final argument will be brief and formal. The rrosecutor will limit himself to summing nn the illegal nature of the manifesto and the gravo consequence which might have ensued had the people heeded it appeal. The defense will make Its strong point on technicalities, holding that the crime, If any, was committed out side' the country and that the government has failed to establish .the individual re sponsibility of the defendants.

MILLIONS SPENT FOR PEANUTS oathcrn Males r rod ace Orer ("even Million Roahels of the Allur Ina Edible. Would you believe that the American people apend annually close to 116.000,000 for peanuts? Every year the southern states produce more than 7,000,000 bushels of the "goo bers." or "plndar," as they are almost universally called below the Mason and rlxon line and Just as regularly each year there Is a cry" from the dealer that the crop must be Increased. It seems strange to persons of advanced age that tho peanut I used so largely today. Before the civil war th niit was practically unknown In the northern states. During the war, however, both the boy of the bue and tho boy of the gray found that the peanuts which could be found plentifully on the "lighting ground" came In very handily wften ration were abort, and It can be said, therefore, that tha cul ture of the nut virtually date from that troublou time. Nowadays, where before the war there was Just a bit of a patch, one will And great farm grown up entirely to the "goober" In fact, fifty-acre peanut plan tations are not uncommon throughout Vir ginia, North Carolina, Tennessee and other southern state. Possibly the finest, peanut grown Is the "bunch" variety, but the Virginia "run ning" Is the most widely known and raost popular with tho trade. In point of flavor, size and hardness of hull these are the finest peanuts raised, and the "selects" from these are known as the "Jumbo." Tennessee produces the white ahd red, and both excellent nuts, but not so large a the Virginia raised. North Carolina ha what Is known as the African variety, small and full of el, but pleasant to the taste. The African peanut Is claimed by botanist to be the original, but excellent authority give the peanut as a native of Braall. Louisiana finds the Spanish, a small but proline nut, best suited to that climate, and Immense quantities are grown. Green ville county, Virginia, gVow annually over 250.000 bushels of this variety. The "goober grabbers" of Georgia and South Carolina.' like the small white and red nut. the same as grown In Tennessee, and eafch succeeding year shows an In crease In production. Other southern states grow different varieties, and the "goober crop can al ways be depended upon as a safe one. Every year the peanut crop Is becoming more valuable, and while almost all Amer icans are peanut fiend It is evident that tho time is coming when great Inroads will be made on the output of their favorite nut by it utilisation for other purposes. Millions of bushels are now being annually used In the old world for the produatlon of oil, an oil which Is regarded by njany a fully equal to olive oil, and which Anay be employed for every purpose to which that is applied. Th peanut oil has an agreeable taste and is more limpid than olive oil. Already the manufacturer In this country have announced that the only drawback to the oil mill I an Insufficient upply of nut.
