an adroit effort to criticize and ridi-
cule Bryan, has proven a "roarback'
is the general opinion in the capital
now. The resolution gave Mr. Bryan
«n opportunity to repjy and in that
reply he showed rare poise and Judg-
ment. It is such a reply as will appeal
to the public and at the same time
gave the premier of the cabinet a
chance to call attention of the peo-
ple to his public service in the past,
done on his own tltue and at his own
expense. The Bryan reply has tak-
en all the merriment out of the re-
publican circles where there was
much chuckling over the matter.
Mr. Bryan said:
"i am glad to have the senator';-
criticism called to my attention. 1
believe in criticism of public offic-
ials. Criticism is helpful. If a man
makes a mistake, criticism enables
him to correct It; if ho is unjustly
criticised, the criticism helps-, him.
1 have had my share of criticism
since 1 have been in public life but
it has not prevented my doing what
1 thought proper to do.
"In devoting a part of my vaca-
tion to lecturing, 1 am doing what
1 believe to be proper, and I have no
fear whatever that any unbiased
person will criticise me when he
knows the facta.
"For seventeen years, sources of
my income have been writing and
lecturing, but each year 1 have made
more public speeches, without com-
pensation and where 1 have paid my
own traveling expenses, than I have
where compensation was receive;!.
My earning capacity has been large
and I have made not only an income
sufficient for my immediate needs,
but have saved on an average, some-
thing more than $10,000 a year.
"In accepting the office which I
now hold, I gave up the opportunity
to add to my accumulations, for 1
do not expect to increase, during my
term, the amount 1 have laid aside—
that Is, I am willing to forego what
advantage I might derive from the
acquiring of $40,000 more for the
I'nited States.
l)r. Soyeda said he found senti-
ment toward Japanese to be friendly
In all parts of the United States with
the execptlon of California. Bus-
iness men of America, he said, were
uniformly In favor of maintaining
present friendly relations between
the two nations.
The Japanese government will try
to obtain for Japanese the privilege
of becoming American citizens, he
said.
"The Japanese want citizenship
and want to become a constructive,
patriotic upbuilding element of your
society," he explained. "We do not
want to intermeddle with domestic
questions, such as state rights ami
federal Jurisdiction; we only peti-
tion and make representations and
we hope it shortly will coime to pass
that there will be no discrimination
against the Japanese who desire to
come here to work and live."
Knmlya suggested that negotia-
tions at Washington between th
state department and Ambassador
C'hinda had "created a very delicate
situation.
"We do not think war is probable
he said. "If it comes, it comes
through the action of the I'nited
States. The Japanese have never
fought and do not hope to fight
through imperialistic motives but
only when their national honor is
Involved. But when it becomes a
shame to be a Japanese we cannot
tell what will happen."

BACK UP ON
TARIFF FIGHT
WASHINGTON, July 17.—Sena-
tor Penrose said Wednesday the min-
ority in the senate would make no
organized or concerted effort to ar-
gue on amendments to the democrat-
ic tariff bill.
"The feeling is that any amend-
ments we may offer will be defeated,"
he said. "There Is neither time nor
opportunity to go into the whole tar-
iff proposition. The republican party
cannot get control of the government
until the next presidential election
and the wise policy is to wait until
that time to take up the tariff ques-
tion afresh when new business con-
ditions present themselves to be
dealt with.
'Republicans believe that the bus-
iness interests want this matter dis-
posed of at the earliest possible date
whether the bill is good or bad. At
the same time we feel it a duty to
a reasonable extent to debate the bill
and to make a thorough tariff record
lor the information of the public and
for future reference."
Majority members of the senate
finance committee met again Wednes-
day, reviewing the exhaustive report
that is to be submitted when the
general debate opens tomorrow
Senator Simmons said the report
with his opening statement, would
be an explanation of the measure
for the democrats.

NEW YORK, July 18.—With
Tuesday's passage by congress of
the Newlands-Clayton hill to provide
an arbitration medium for settling
the wage differences between the
eastern railroads and their 80,000
conductors and trainmen, a new
phase of the controversy developed
through announcement by the rail
roads that they will ask the board
which considers the demands of the
employes to take up also the griev-
ances of the roads against the men
This angle of the situation overshad
ows, for the moment at least, even
the determined stand by the Erie
system that it will not in any event
submit its cause to arbitration.
Chairman Elisha Lee, of the con
ference committee of managers,
Tuesday night stated the railroads
would demand arbitration whic'
would take into consideration all
questions of differences between the
employers and the employes.
He alluded to the wording of the
letter in which the conference com
mittee agreed to arbitrate under the
Newlands-Clayton legislation. The
roads were willing to submit to arbi
tration by a board, as provided in the
Newlands-Clayton bill, the letter
read, "All questions of rates of pay
and working conditions" of their
conductors and trainmen.
"The language of our letter is very
clear," said Mr. Lee. "We mean
just what it saye. We feel that it
right to ask for arbitration which
takes into consideration the griev-
ances of the employes."
He said that the conference com
mittee would demand that the whole
question of demiands between com
panies and the employes be gone
into without reserve.
When Chairman Lee's statement
on the part of the roads was convey
ed to A. G. Garretson and W. G. Lee
heads of the conductors and train
mens organizations, respectively
they would not comment upon the
matter, but said they might hav
