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

meant thereby. (Signed.)

MIKADO TALKS BEFORE DIET
Twenty-Fourth Session Opened by
Emperor of Japan,:
GOVERNMENT IAS Bid MAJORITY
With Departure of Canndlan Mlnla
ter Foreign Office at Toklo
Take Vf Immigration,
Question.
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

Million Roahels of the Allur

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. Philadelphia Press.
