SMITH. ^ Admits IIis Practice ot Polygamy in Defiance ot Law ft Washington, March 3.?Attorneys for the protestants in the Smoot investigation today stated that they intend to prove that the defendant is associated with a heirarchy which practices poly gamy and connives at violations of the law and that his vote as a senator of the United States is subject to the wish and command of the Mormon church, l'resi dent Joseph F. Smith confessed that he himself had continued to cohuhit with his plural family since the manifesto of 1890 and that he realized fully that he was violating State laws. President Reed Smoot had to get the consent of his associate apostles in the church before he could become a candidate for senator. The confession of president jg Smith was the sensation of the proceedings today before the senate committee on privileges and elections. Mr. Taylor of counsul " for the protestants was directing his questions to ascertain how the church regarded polygamous cohabitation. Mr. Smith said it was realized that such cohabitation U'Hn cnntrom '1-- 1 1 vumviuij iu mtj inw HUU ho went further to say that the manifesto had left him and others with plural families in the unfortunate situation of being compelled to defy the law or desert their families.

It is proposed by the Japanese of New York to raise $5,000,000 to aid their home country in its war with Russia. The New York World says that while this suggestion will perhaps excite surprise because of the size of the gift contemplated, there is no doubt of their ability to finance their patriotism to the extent promised. The World adds The imnrtrlnnc# r>f Jonoimoo K., r v v?.uvv v* w Mpunvoo uusi urnn iu the city is not generally realized. A quarter of a century ago the Japanese commercial houses of consequence in thiR country could be numbered on the fingers of one hand. They are now very numerous and almost uniformly prosperous. With the beginning of the new order of things in the island kingdom there set in a tide of immigration to the United States which last year reached the large number of 19,9G8. That is to say, more than half as many Japanese as Irish and very nearly half as many as came from Germany. Scotland sent only one-third as many, France one-fourth and Spain one-ninth. They brought with them intelligence and indus try, an adaptability to occupation ranging from the kitchen to the counting room and a spirit of goou citizenship by which the nation has Ween largely the gainer.
