HARMONY BETWEEN NATIONS.
JAPAN KSK FOREIGN MINISTER
AMPLIFIES REMARKS.
Talks ol' Lund Laws and Says It la
i Purpose of Imperial Government to
Settle Trouble as Easily as May
Be.
I Washington. Jan. 24.?Baron Ma
kino, (he Japaner foreign minister,
lias made a supplementary statement
j to the Japaneso parliament to show
j that according to the Japanese un?
derstanding there is perfect harmony
j of purpose between the United States
' and Japan In negotiations to nettle
, the California land legislation quos
j tlon.
According to o transcript of his re
J marks made public by the Japanese
embassy here tcday the minister
sale:
"It is the purpose of the imperial
government to settle tho question in
as advantageous a manner as possible,
and I believe the American govern?
ment is taking measures of investiga?
tion Tookingr to a settlement by the
most Just methods."
The statement was made by Baron
Maklno In answer to a formal inter?
pellation apparently framed to dissi?
pate impressions possibly created by
previous intimations that Japan re?
sented the failure of the United States
to reply to the late note In regard to
the California situation.
Japan is believed to desire a new
treaty specifically recognizing the
right of Japanese in the United States
to hold and lease real property on
equal terms with other foreigners.
Such a treaty would invalidate the
California law, and similar State leg?
islation, but whether the senate would,
ratify a. convention of this character, 1
even If presented forms another
angle to (he problem.

i necessarily a moral one, the bullet
I passing through the brain. Death

Midshipman Hammond Bowman of
Tills City Tell* of Features of Life
at the United States Naral Acad?
emy at Annapolis.
In a letter to the Daily Item MSuV
shipman W. H. Bowman of this city,
i
n son of Mr. and Mrs. P. G. Bowman
Interestingly describes some features j
of the life of a cadet at the United :
States Military Academy at Annapolis
distinctive from other colleges and
military instituions.
Cadet Bowman's letter in part is as
follows:
One distinctive feature of our life;
here is the summer cruise. For tho
three summer months of June, July
and August, the midshipmen embark
on a cruise with certain ships, set
aside by the bureau of navigation,
for that purpose. At the present time
these ships are picked from the ships
recently put out of commission, but
formerly the cruises were made on
old sailing ships such as the "Con?
stellation." After the advent of
steam as a means of propulsion these
ships were laid aside and, more mod?
ern vessels brought into play.
South Carolina at present has fif?
teen midshipmen in the Academy.
There should be eighteen and our1
percentage of vacancies is much
smaller than most States, for which
we should feel reasonably proud. Of
these fifteen men three will graduate
this year. These three men all have
good records. One of them is Captain
of the ritte team, another is editor j
in chief of the college annual mag?
azine, "The Lucky Bag," and another!
is one of the star varsity football men.
All three have offices in the brigade)
organization.
The course of studies is principally
mathematical and mechanical. It in?
cludes all the professional subjects,
ordnance, navigation, etc., which will
be needed for years after becoming an
officer. Graduate midshipmen are
eligible to become* ensigns or second
lieutenants either in the marine corps,
coast artillery corps, or regular army.
The record of naval academy grad?
uates from South Carolina is excel?
lent and it is sincerely hoped by the
writer that this will he, to some ex?
tent, enhanced in future years. With
such men as Rear Admiral Victor
Blue to set us examples it Is certain
that wo at least hove the right to ex?
pect something.
Etoj mg that this may be of some u le
to you I beg to remain sincerely you?*

Bureau.
-mmmmm V *
Washington, Jan. 25.?A varied as?
sortment of wintry weather is fore?
casted for the country by the weath?
er bureau for the coming- week:
"The week will open with generally
unsettled weather except in the
Northeast, the Centrai Rocky Moun?
tain region and the extreme South?
west," said the bulletin, "and there
will be a moderate cold ware in New
England and the Middle Atlantic
etat es.
"A disturbance now over the
Plains States will move eastward, at?
tended by rains over the southern
districts from the Missouri and the
Mississippi valleys eastward, and by
somewhat higher temperatures gen?
erally, reaching the Atlantic coast
Monday night or Tuesday.
"This will be followed by fair weath?
er for a day or two, but another dis?
turbance will cause rains and snows
west of the Rocky mountains and
their extension east Wednesday, prob?
ably reaching the Eastern States
Friday.
"It will be followed by clearing
weather and more winter tempera?
tures beginning by Thursday over the
central portion and by the close of
the week over the East. After the
rains of Monday and Tuesday in the
South fair weather will follow, prob?
Ably until near the end of the weeB;

indicated."
TTTE SPEER INVESTIGATION.
Committee Resumed Hearing This
Morning in Savannah.
Savannah, Jan. 26.?The scene of

Savannah today. Chairman Webb
expects to conclude the hearing this
week. Twenty-five witnesses will be

Savannah lawyers are now in
