CANADA AGREES 10 PLAN OF JAPANESE

Arrangement Made for the Prevention of Labor Immigration.

MIKADO WILL NOTIFY U. S. Ho Limit, However, 13 Set on Number That May Land in Can- ; ada Monthly.

Tokio, Ik-c 25. Rodolphe Lemieux, Canadian minister of labor, who was Bent lo-re to confer with the Japanese

goviTninent regardin g the regulation of Immigration to Canada, has concluded negotiations ami, it is authoritatively .stated, has fully a(?r-p(i to tho arrangement outlin-(l l.y the Japanese authorities for t lie future control of immigration. Not only has Mr. Lemieux agreed to the Japanese plan, but also Sir Claude M. MacDonuld, the British ambassador. According to the arrangement. Japan agrees to proven t practically all labor Immigration, but declines to sacrifice any treaty rights or to set any limit on the number of Japam-su which will be permitted, to land in Canada monthly. Japjin to Anminocp I'ollcy Soon. Announcement of Japan's policy will not be made officially until a similar arrangement lias been submitted to Thomas J. O'Brien, the American ambassador. It is understood Mr. O'Brien offered a number of suggestions from the Anttfrlcan government for the coneideratlout of the foreign office. These suggestions, it Is believed, largely served to guide the arrangement submitted to Canada through Mr. Lemieux. The attitude of Mr. Lemieux toward the American ambassador has caused much comment in diplomatic circles. Mr. LemLeux entirely ignored the American embassy and evidently preferred not to discuss the matter with Ambassador O'Brien. It is understood that tho foreign minister. Viscount Hayashi, throughout his conferences with Lemieux consistently declined to sacrifice any treaiy rights or to set any limit on the number Of Japanese which will be permitted to land in Canada monthly. Mr. Lemieux and party will sail for home on the Empress of China tomorrow, the Canadian government having instructed him to report at the earliest possible nwment. Canadian Envoy Appears Pleaned. In speaking of the results of the negotiations, Ilr. Lemieux said tonight: "My lips are sealed on the subject. Any statement I have to make belongs first to the Dominion government. My

mission will be completed only "after my return to Ottawa. My colleagues there will be in a position to discus3 fully the whole question in its various phases. I have every reason to believe that a solution of the difficulty will soon be reached, and am pleased to say that my negotiations with the Japanese foreign office were conducted in the friendliest spirit. "I return with nothing but the most pleasant recollections."

Williams - DeArmond Encounter Causes Breach Slump in Harmony.

Washington. I). C. Dec. 28. A serious breach has been created in tin: democratic party by the personal encounter between Representative John Sharp Williams, the minority leader, and Representative Ie Arrnond of Missouri on the floor of the house several days ago. It will lessen the chances of the election of a democratic president, as both "Williams and le Armond have a strong following in the house and party. During the present session of congress it will be necessary for both the republicans and democrats to make the material to be used uring the next national campaigns. William Jennings Bryan was in Washington when congress convened anil he had a number of conferences with Williams, De Ar

mond, and other democrats and plans for the conduct of the campaign were discussed and agreed upon. "Harmony" was to be the watchword and John Sharp Williams, who has been bitterly opposed to the nomination of Bryan, buried Ills personal opinions In return for Bryan's support In the contest for minority leader and promised to give Bryan his loyal support for the nomination and to co-operate with De Armond in providing campaign material to be used in attacking the republicans. I" 1 14 lit Spoils Urjan Plana. But the fisticuff between the two leaders has upset all these plans and during the session they will be working at cross purposes. Efforts have been made to adjust the trouble, but without success, both the belligerents refusing to be friends, placing the blame for the trouble on each other. The serious feature of the disagreement so far as the democratic party is concerned Is that the democratic membership of the house is about equally divided between Williams and De Armond. Both are able men and popular with their adherents.

Lodi, O., Dec. 26. A Christmas gif t j of a peek at his face unshrouded by ! whiskers for the first time in fifty- ! three years was the donation of Mar- I tin Overs of this village to his wife i i and grown children. He had the j whiskers, three- and one-half feet long, ! in which he had displayed great pride ' for years, shaved off yesterday and went home at nightfall with a great j muffler wrapped about his countenance i to guard against the cold. Mrs. Overs, j though she had united with her sons !

and daughter in beseeching her 70-year-o!d husband to bare his face that she and their children might see it for the first time, almost collapsed from fright as he strode into the house.

She did not recognize him till he spoke, j

"Well, don't you like me, now?" he asked in his gruff voice. Overs shaved for two years as a youth, but no razor had touched his cVe-ek since lie was 17 years old. The whiskers covered his face when he met. wooed, and won his wife. Shu often expressed a curiosity to see his face in the early days, but later, realizing his pride in the hirsute adornment, the marvel of the village, she ceased her beseeching. Their children were born and reared, two were

married and brought a new son anil a new daughter to the family, and still Overs' face never had been seen. They joined in a teasing plea to him to bare his chin, and after ten days of this he capitulated. Neighbors did not know him in tho street. His cheek, though he is 70, is smooth and fair as a young man's incongruous with his white hair and bent form.

1717 Madison avenue to make a houseto house canvass and to obtain written pledges that a reduction of from 20 to 30 per cent in rent will be demanded, and if this is refused that no rent be paid. The campaign will be directed from the assembly rooms of the socialists. 313 Grand street, and it is promised that no matter what hardships may follow, there will be no recession on the part of the tenants. A mass meeting will be held next Tuesday night, and Jacob Farker, a lawyer, will instruct the tenants how their

resistance to the payment of rent at the present rate may be made successfully. The opening gun will be fired tomorrow by the forty-eight families in the double decker tenement, 6 and 70 Stanton street, who ask for a reduction of $1 a month, and by the eightytwo families in 215 and 21S Cherry street, who want $3 a month lopped off the monthly rental of $21 to f25 for the front fiats of four and five rooms, and $2 from the ?1S rate for the rear rooms. This action will be followed immediately by the immense tenement population on Allen street, north of Grand, Rutgers, Essex, Ludlow, Hester, Monroe and Jefferson streets the most densely populated section of any city in the world. Seventeen languages or dialects are spoken within this area, and the proselyters have been selected with especial reference to their ability to impress upon tenants in their native tongues the necessity of standing by their pledges. The leaders in the movement up to this time have concealed their Identity,

Terre Haute, Ind., Dec. 26. William Ralston, freight brakeman on the Big Four, was shot and killed while his train was standing at a gravel pit north of the city last night. A gang "of Hungarian laborers camped there were having a drunken orgy and a number of shots struck the caboose. Four of the laborers are in jail.

Indianapolis, Ind., Dec. 25. Filled with the fighting spirit of his hero, Monsieur Boaueaire, Booth Tarklngton, in the early hours of Christmas morning, roundly thumped two of Indianapolis' guardians of the peace. Incidentally lie received a few bumps himself and finally wound up in the city prison. There a desk sergeant with literary Inclinations permitted him to go free on his own recognizance, after he had promised to journey straight home and disturb the peace of Indiana's capital no more. This was not until he had b. en slated to answer for a charge of resisting an officer and had promised to appear in court. The hearing was to have been held this morning, but the author was not to be found, and a continuance until Saturday was granted. In the meantime Detectives Manning and Samuels are nursing their bruises and preparing to tell of the writer's prowess when given a chance in court. Won't Go Home; Fraons Begins. The opening scene of the early morn

ing drama was at the corner of Washington street and Canitol avenue. An

excited voice had called the police sta

tion on a phone, declaring a riot was

in nroirress and warning the officers

iimt unless tbev hurried some one

might be killed.

Detectives Manning and Samuels re

sponded and saw the two men running away, while Tarkington and a friend

were standing near a carriage, the friend trying to induce the author to go home. The detectives, knowing Tarkington and not wishing to arrest

him, joined their pleadings to those of

his friend, but he paid no attention.

The officers ordered him to go home,

intimating that refusal would be followed by a trip to the station house

The threat infuriated Tarkington 'and

he becan to abuse the officers round

ly, defying them to arrest him. Seeing he would not go peaceably

the officers tried to put the writer into

a carriage. He fought like a tiger

striking the officers with his fists, kick

ing their shins, and hurling anathemas t them The detectives did not want

to use their maces and went into

clinch hold, the three rolling upon the ground. Detective Manning sat on the author's head and beckoned Samuels to

get hold of his feet, but as the latter approached Tarkington raised both feet and let fly with terrific force, both feet striking Samuels squarely in the stnmnch and hurling him backwards

into a gutter, where he sat down vlo lently.

ILL-FATEDJRIP ENDS

Death Wreck and Mutiny

San Francisco, Cal., Dec. 25. A voy

acre of death was completed when the

American shin Atlas dropped anchor

here last night, 275 days out from Bal

timore. It ended a trip made tragic by collisions off Cape Horn, attended

by the sinking of another vessel, the drowning of the fated craft's captain

and the captain's wife, and mutiny and

death among a crew.

One June 6. at 6 p. m.. the Atlas

struck the Norwegian bark Viking

Captain Peterson, bound from Ham

burg to Callao. Both were badly dam

ac-ed bv the contact, but the bark

fared the worst. In the terror of the

night thirteen of the crew of the Nor

wegian bark boarded the American ship, crawling over tangled shrouds and dangling booms. But Captain Peterson and his wife were not among those who made the dangerous transit. It was too dark to render aid. though the Atlas stood by during the night and the next morning the Viking had disappeared. The Atlas put into Rio Janerio for repairs, leaking badly. On the way to this port a mutiny took place among the crew over some trouble with the mate, but it was quelled. Before the collision off Cape Horn three of the ship's company met death. On May 23 J. Schumacher and Charles Nolan, seamen, fell from the jibboom and were drowned. June 15 John Hook, sailmaker, died and was burled st sea When the ship arrived yes

terday the captain's son

dered into quarantine. Tha Atlris has a cargo of coal

DIGGING HARD AT PANAMA. Quantity of Dirt Equal to Pyramid of Cbeopa Moved Every Fifty Day. Washington. D. C. Dec. 26. The excavation from the Panama canal last month, aggregating 1.S3S.4SC cu .yards, would cover ten city blocks to a depth of forty feet. No such work ever has been done before as Colonel Goeth.ils is doing on the isthmus. Every fifty days the commission is moving an amount of material equal the pyramid of Cheopa, which con sumed the labor of 1,000,000 men for twenty years. The commission could build the Suez canal at the present rate of progress in three and eight-tenths years, though it took ten years for De Lesseps to complete his work. The Manchester

ship canal could be excavated by the

American canal workers in twenty-five months, and even Emperor William's magnificent Kiel canal could be dug by
