J Washington, Feb. 19.—The time | lias come when the United States ' government feels impelled to call a I halt to the Japanese invasion of Manchuria and Japanese domination threatening the integrity of China. I Late next Summer or iu the early fall, when the Atlantic fleet shall I have reached Phillipine waters, will be considered by the government an opportune moment to bring the mat ter forcibly to the attention of the i authorities at Tokio. This isan entirely new question I with which Ambassador Takahira will have-no deal with this govern ment. '.fifje new Ambassador will Bhortly'jwesent his credentials and begin thl work of his mission. In order to better familiarize himself with the situation in the Japanese ! colonies on the Pacific coast the Am bassador will make a visit to that section the coming spring. This ' visit will be made coincident with the arrival of the Atlantic fleet at San Fransisco. Ambassador Taka hira will be present to participate with his fellow country men in the welcome of the fleet. But all this will not swerve the administration from it.s purpose to check the advance of Japan iu Asia. When the.same fleet that the Japa nese will seem to welcome in San Fransisco harbor reaches the Philli pines it is expected that a note will he addressed to Japan calling atten tion to Secretary Hay's note on the integrity of China, which was finally assented to by Japan, at the open ing of the war in the far east. The recommendation of State (fame Commission Secretary Kalb fus that a bounty be placed upon the scalp of a common house cat be cause of its bird destroying proclivi ties has aroused the wrath of people in various sections of the State and organization for the prevention of cruelty to animals have determined take action to prevent passage of any legislation of that kind- At Phila delphia some strong statements are being made. The controversy, for such it is at this stage has an amus ing side, as evidenced by the follow ing letter sent to a newspaper. "Dear Sir: In the name of'{fee Philadelphia claw of the Penn sylvania Association [of AtTlhlga mated Toms and Tabbies of the Fed erated League of assorted Felines, we desire to 'meow against said arti cle and propose the followingclaws': That the writer of this cattish arti cle be duely examined by the Jerome Association for the pulveriz ation of alleged experts in order to ascertain if he is duly qualified to express such an opinion-,' artd also Hiftir the Mice Association of the United States be requested to hold that next convention in Dr. Kalbfus' cellar—and again, that all members of the Philadelphia Claw of the Pennsylvania Associati >ll of A.

Bth. i Meeting called to order by Presi dent at 10:15 with fifteen . members present. Minutes of la-t meeting . and auditors report read and ap - proved. The following Officers were eleeted:- O. N.

" ! On motion It was decided to resure I two of the state constabulary for the , fair next faU. ?- j Some newspapers, amongst which s is the Harrisburg "Star Independent i, | " —a sort of sublunary organ —which f| either because of gross ignorance-or t! from willful and malicious motives, . indulged in a puerile attempt to >' minimize the work of Senator Pen- I rose, as a United States Senator. I The said luminous (?) "Star" as > sumes it is a fit subject of ridicule J 4 because Senator Penrose looks after ft the claims of the war veteran, and , does all he can to see that justice is i- done them by their getting a pen * sion sufficient to keep them from - pauperism in the later days of their 1 lives. The Nation owes the Old 1 soldier a debt it can never repay; » and Senator Penrose is patriot 112 enough to appreciate their service Jo ?; their country and deserves com - mendation rather than censure for t looking after their interests. s The '•Star" says: ''Last week we i took occasion to refer to his(Senator t Penrose's) record of the preceding ■ Tuesday when he introduced iu one " batch sevnety seven bills, nearly all ' ot which provide for pensions;" And from that act of the Seuator it seeks 1 to belittle his services as a represeuta > tive. We think the "Old Soldiers" • of Pennsylvania will differ in their ■ judgment from the astute editor of i the "Star" who, were he Senator, would no doubt have dumper) the Old Soulier's claims into the waste basket. But Senator Penrose not only looks after the interests of the soldiers and that of the farmer and humblest citizens of Pennsylvania, hut also after the larger interests of the State and the Nation. State Health Commissioner Dixon has heard of the success of the use of antitoxin to prevent the spread ol diptheria in a thickly settled mining j camp known as Tyler, in Clearfield county. A child of Hve, named Oladys Evans was taken ill with the disease and iecovered after use of anti toxin furnished by the Depart ment of Health.

Fittston, was on 'lltursday awanled t so»tK) by a jury a(( wilkes-Barre for i the loss ot his leg |n a street ear jifccl . dent on the line of the Wyotanlg (l Valley Traction .-Company. A «*ar running at a high speed struck him e i and cut off his left leg below the knee. At its last session the Legislature t pawed an act providing for payment i by the commonwealth of a reward of r bounty for the killing of certain nox , ions animals, such animals being i wildcats foxes weasels and minks. Since then about every man who has gone out with a gun has, hunted . noxious animals. All over the state a there has been a great slaughter of r wildcats, weasles and foxes, the state I being called upon to pay from Jtl to s $4 for each, the wildcats command . ing the higher bounty. The pay i meuts are first made by authority of p the county commissioners out of the t county funds, to be reimbursed by ; the State npon proper certificate. 5 The total amount appropriated by ) the Legislature to cover these boun . ties was $50,000. So enterprising r have been tbe noxious animal hunt ers that this sum is not likely to hold out until the Legislature can • appropriate more. Some of the ; counties have paid out from SI2OO to • S4OOO on this account, while others I have stopped payment because of I alarming information that the fund ) was exhausted and they would not ■ get their money back. They do not take any .risk, however, if the a • mount is insufficient, the state will r have to make it up by further legi6- , lation, as is pledged to specific pay ! ments. If the destruction of these animals is desirable, as no doubt It is, the i State can very well afford to make the bounty large enough to insure a complete job, and the activity of the past nine or ten months on the part of hunters promises well. There will be a general satis faction among people of sane minds over the action of the appellate court of New York In refusing a new trial for Chester Gillette, the degenerate who fouly murdered the girl whom he professed to love.
