Tokyo, Feb. 8. In the Japanese diet Count Hattori, the lending elder states man of the opposition, made a bitter und sensational attack on the United States. He declared that the Jnponese were denied an equal opportunity In the United States and were abused by Americans. He also asserted that Ja pan's dignity had been Injured by the nttacks of legislators In American states and In the congress at Washing ton. He declared that In Cnllfornlu and Nevada Japanese were denied an equal COUNT KOMURA. opportunity and were even abused, by Americans. Recent events, he said, had proved that the anti-Japanese sen timent In America was increasing. The speaker attacked particularly the recently concluded agreement between Japan and America, saying that he be lieved that the Japanese foreign office was forced by the American govern ment to sign the agreement in order to prevent competition by the Japanese on the Pacific coast. Ho declared that Japan's dignity had been injured thereby, and he lmpas slonately urged the government to en force the principle of equal opportu nity, which alone could solve the ques tion of the rights of Japanese in for eign countries. He said that even the president of one country had denied Japanese right to travel, a right which was theirs by treaty. Count Hattorl's speech was greeted by continued cheering by the opposition. Foreign Minister Komura in reply announced that the Imperial govern ment had decided to notify' the vari ous powers of the termination of ex isting commercial treaties, to be effec tive one year after such notice was given. He said that it was the Inten tion of the government to negotiate new treaties "unhampered by any un equal engagements." ' The new compacts, he continued, will be based entirely upon the princi ple of reciprocity with n view to the free development of international com merce. The foreign minister's speech was received with applause. Discussing the anti-Japanese meas ures pending in the California legisla ture, the foreign minister said Japan is relying upon the Justice of the American people aud the friendly dis position of the United States govern ment.

Senator Wills has Introduced a sweeping bill that prohibits nil pugilistic contests in places where admission Is charged and makes violation a felony punishable by (Ire years in the state prison.- FOR THE GAS STOVE New Cooking Utensils That Aro a Joy to Use. Judging from the number of cooking utensils to be used over gas, it appears as if the kitchen stove would soon be come a thing of the past Among the latest inventions for gas stoves is the waffle iron. It fits into a frame underneath which the gas Is turned on. A good sized iron that is divided into four quarters, making three corner shaped cakes, is 1.10. There are French waffle irons that make four or more small cakes that cost $1.75, $2.50 and $3. Each size comes with a frame to fit.. Then there is a new steamer that will cook an entire dinner over one burner. There arc four vessels, each setting Into each other, made from tin with an excellent copper bottom. The water Is placed In the first one and put on over tho gas stove. When the water bolls the food to be cooked can be put In. The odor from one pot cannot escape to tho other, and a din ner consisting of a chicken, potatoes, beans and apple dumpling (boiled) can be cooked at one time over the same burner with the latter turned off half way. In using this boiler the chicken is placed in the pnn next the water, then the potatoes in the third, setting on a wire rack, which comes (15 cents ex tra) for keeping them dry and mealy, and lastly the apple dumplings. It is n -t necessary that all the pots shall be used two, three or four, as meets one's needs. But it Is extremely necessary that the llttlo cap shall lie placed on the tube of the last pot; oth erwise the cooking will be a failure, as the steam will escape. This vessel comes in four different sizes and costs from $1.75 to $3.50, ac cording to size. By Its use food cannot burn, of course, and as n fuel saver it has no equal. Nickel frying pans, especially good for use over gas, are delightfully clean looking nnd exceedingly strong, as the nickel is over iron. A medium sized pan in this stylo may be bought for 05 cents. Large sizes sell for more. When it comes to the question of buying a roasting pan it is quite a problem, for there are so many good ones. Tho seamless are supposed to be best, and there are a number 'of these which include also the self bast ing feature. One style in iron which has an extra tray or rack inside the ventilated cover Is only $1 and is of a reliable quality. Then there is anoth er style similar to the first In merit, but has glazed Iron, which makes washing nnd scouring easier. Theso are $1.25 to $1.50. Then there nre agate self basting pans and enameled pans that do the same service, and really all are excel lent in their way. Though a number of new griddle cake pans have been introduced, there Is nothing, I am told, to beat the soap stone models. The aluminium ones are practical, but are expensive, and, while iron is satisfactory, it is apt to make the house smell of cooking and is not as clean looking as some of the oth ers, so that, 'all in all, the soapstone is conceded to bo the best kind. CHARLOTTE ROLL A Dessert That May Be Made Early In the Morning. Take a piece of cardboard the size of the pan in which you aro to bake your cake, allowing one inch more to lap over. Sew this in shape for your roll To make the sponge cake take ono egg, beat the yolk and white separate ly, add one-half cupful of sugar and beat again. Sift together twice one half cupful of flour, one-half teaspoon ful of baking powder and one-half tea spoonful of salt. Fold into the beaten egg and sugnr. Add one-quarter cup ful of boiling water and one-half tea spoonful of vanilla. Bake In a hot oven in a flat, shallow pan until browned a little, but not crisp. Roll and put in cardboard frame while hot. For tho charlotte filling take a tea spoonful of minute gelatin and dis solve with two tablespoonfuls of boil ing water. It may be necessary to beat still more to completely dissolve tho gelatin, but do not add any more water. Whip half a pint of cream till stiff, add two tablespoonfuls of powdered sugar and half a teaspoonful of va nilla. Have your dish standing In ice water while beating. Add the gelatin nnd beat till it is set. Pour it into the sponge cako mold and set in ice chest till needed. This Is a good dessert to use, for it may bo made early in the morning.

WAENING OF JAPAN WAE. Congressman Humphrey 8ays Yellow Nation Has Lead In Pacific. New York, Feb. 3. Representative William E. Humphrey of Washington In speaking at the Metropolitan temple on ship subsidies warned against the danger of a war with Japan. The church was decorated with flags, and militant battle banners marked the ends of many of the pews. "I am sorry to say ltf" declared Mr. Humphrey, "but the United States has criminally wasted its opportunities on the Pacific. It will take years to over come Japan's lead in the Pacific. There Are fifty merchant vessels now under construction in Japan. In the United Stales there is not n single vessel In tended for foreign trade, nor has there been for the last six years. For sev eral years Japan has bought every American merchant vessel that has gone Into the market on the Paclflc. "Subsidy is the magic word of Ja pan's matchless progress. It was the subsidized ships of Japan that gave her her great land victory over Russia, it was sailors from the subsidized ships, trained thereon, that made pos sible the annihilation of the Russian fleet." The speaker declared that it would be a simple matter in the event of war for Japan to land 200,000 troops in the Philippines and 100,000 In Hawaii be fore the United States could begin to start out her transports. Where Japan has 550 vessels of her merchant marine on the Paclflc, the United States has only twelve. In addition, he said, there are 500,000 Japanese In the fish eries and merchant marine, where the United States has hardly 1,000 native born American sailors.

Those twenty were the only ones of the tribe's aristocracy who had not taken the treatment, and, they say, they hope they are cured. Favora .Direct Election of Senators. Indianapolis, Ind., Feb. 3.

Com ing up from the Riviera, he took a cab at the Gnre de Lyon and drove to his hotel, where ho tipped the driver substantially. "Mercl, M. Conan Doyle," said the cocher to the astonishment of Sir Ar thur, who asked how on earth he knew his name. "Mercl," said the cabby, "I read in n newspaper that Sir Doyle was to ar rive in Paris from Nice, stopping at Marseilles and Lyons on the way. I noted that you had had your hair cut at arselllcs; that you bad Lyons mud still on your boots. Therefore you must be Sir Doyle." The creator of Sherlock Holmes was more amazed than ever. "Do you mean to sny that was all the evldcnco you had to go upon?" "Well, to be honest," answered the cabby, with a grin, "I also saw your name written on your trunk." Chi cago Tribune.

What one woman can do, even when fur from home, la epitomized in a state ment given recently by Miss Lizzie J. Woods, who left Boston six years ago and went to Alaska as a missionary of the Episcopal church. During her stay in that country she has been acting United States marshal, commanded a company of Infantry, checked an epi demic of diphtheria, was nurse and physician in the hospital, practically ruled the territory around Fort Yukon and rode fifty miles on a sled when the temperature was 00 degrees be low zero to administer to Indians. She has nlso acted as postmistress at the fort. All these things she has done without neglecting any of the mission work which sho went out to do for her church. The trouble of the American house keeper lies in the fact that her theories and her practice lie so far apart This Is tho opinion of Miss Margaret Blair, chairman of the household economics section of the General Federation of Women's Clubs. The middle class housekeeper generally despises her cook. The wife of the dry goods clerk who has graduated from the ribbon counter has become an expert In bridge and treats her maid with snubs and condescension. The evil of this atti tude, says Miss Blair, belongs to the all powerful middle classes, as the wealthy have adopted the methods of the English families, and the poor eerve themselves. It The Countess of Bathurst through the death of her father has become sole owner of the Morning Post of London. After the death of her moth er she did the honors of her father's house both in London and in Scotland. During the war In South Africa she was with her husband while he was in command of the garrison on the Is land of St. Helena. During that time she tried to buy Longwood, famous as the exile home and death place of Na poleon. On her application to purchase the place it was discovered that it no longer belonged to England, as It had been presented to the French nation by England through the Instrumental ity of Queen Victoria during the reign of Napoleon III.

The poorer people in the German cities who cannot afford family outings send their children to the peasant families In tho country and in return receive an equal number of peasant children Into their homes in the cities. In this way the .country children get a chance to see the wonders of the city and brighten up the lives of their elders on their return home, while the children from the c-llles gain in health and strength,, besides learning the many valuable lessons taught by contact with nature. The promoters favor an international exchange of children a little older be tween the different countries. The most successful woman farmer in the country lives up in Aroostook county, Me. She has 500 acres, 375 of which ore under cultivation. From eighty-five acres sho harvested 0,600 barrels of potatoes. In 1003 sho had 175 tons of marketable bay.
