Uncle Sam Is the "Trusted
Friend” of Japs, Accord
ing To Notes.
Washington! i*c. j—The notea
•xchanged between the United States
and Japan “declaring their policy In the
far east.” which have been the eubject
of correspondence between Secretary of
State Root and Ambassador Tukahlra for
•omo months, were made nubile at the
etato department tonight. Accompanying
the declaration are two letter**, one from
Mr. Takahira and one from Mr. Root,
the former expressing. the belief that a
frank avowal of the aim. policy and m
tentlon of the two countries holding !m-
pr-rtant outlying possessions In the region
of the Pacific ocean would not only tend
to strengthen the relations of friendship
and good neighborhood between the two
Hattons, but would materially contribute
to the preservation of the general peace,
•nrt the latter declaring that "this ex
pression of mutual understanding is wel
come to the government of the United
States."
Each letter. In which Is included the
declaration, is dated Nov. 30. the day
*»n whlcn the exchange took place. The
purport of the live separate notes was
fully set forth In the Associated R’esn
despatches of Nov. 27 from WasMng-
... —w.v # ... «= fol-j
Iowa:
1. It Is the wish of the two govern
ments to encourage the free and peaceful
development of their commerce on the
Pacific ocean.
2. The policy of both governments, un
influenced b yany aggressive tendencies.
Is directed to the maintenance of the ex
isting statVis quo in the region above
mentioned, and to the defense of t'no prin
ciple of equal opportunity for commerce
and Industry In China.
3. They are accordingly firmly re
solved reclproclcally to respect the ter
ritorial possessions belonging to each
ether in as Id region.
4. They ure also determined to pre
serve the common Interests of all powers
In China by supporting by all pacific
means at their disposal the Independence
Hnd Integrity of China and the principal
of equal opportunity for commerce and
industry of all nations In that em-
rlre.
5. Should anv event occur threatening
the status quo as above described or the
principle of equal opportunity as above
defined. It remains for the two govern
ments to communicate with each other
In order to arrive at an understanding aa
to what measures they may consider It
Useful to take.
"Transaction Between Friends.”
Ambassador Takahlra. In a statement
Issued subsequently to the making public
of the notes, declared they were simply n
reaffirmation of what was declared by
the two govenments years ago. It was
something like a transaction between
trusted friends.” The ambassador pointed
out that the notes are not a treaty or
agreement. "Japan." ho said, "haa entire
confidence In the great moral strength of
the United otates government and the
l“*ter fully trusts In the strong, good faith
sincerely
each —
by past expel
>e hoped that t
that the people of
oence as their own government In respect
to the declaration of the other, and In
doing so there will he everything to gain
and nothing- to lose and friendly inter-
eourse and commercial relations will be
fully developed."
The substance of the declaration was

FLAGLER'S WORK
ON EAST COAST
Since Peonage Charges Dis

NEW YORK. Dte. t— Hundred,
men are being rushed aouthward to
work on the completion of the-Florida
East Coast railway, following the de
cision of Judge Hough of the United
States circuit court. In dismissing, as
without cause of action, the so-called
peonage cases that had been brought
by the United States government
against the labor agents of the rail
road.
While these actions were pending
In the courts the men In charge ot
the construction wo--k on this sea
going railroad, which is to be Henry
M. Flagler's greatest achievement,
were loath to push forwsrd with the
same amount of energy that had been
displayed prior to the action of the
attorney general In taking cognisance
of tho reckless charges of labor slav
ery that had been made. Every effort
to make up for lost time now* will be

R. Parrott, who has been in charge
personally since the work began In
June of 1905. Fully 2,000 men now
are employed south of Knight’s Key
and more workmen are being sent to
the field of operations each day.

of open ocean and over thirty miles
more of submerged keys and lagoons
to connect Key West by direct line
with Miami, now estimates that this,
one of the most novel engineering en
terprises of modern times, will be com
pleted and trains running for Its full
length within a year.
Trains Now Run 84 Mites.
Already the line is completed and
trains are running for eighty-four
miles south of Miami, right down to
Knight’s Key. Work also in being
pushed forward from Key West up
snd over forty miles of roadbed Ijss
been constructed by the gangs that
arc working notrhward to meet the
other workmen who rapidly ar® mov

of 124 miles has been completed out
of the 156 miles of road surveyed
from Miami to Key West. The great

wonderful line, however, is yet to b®

The effect of the great extension vi

has been felt because now the steam

Knigh’s Key and take passengers and

capital instead of eighty-four miles

PEKIN. Dec. 2—The strict mourn
ing which has been observed in this
city since the death, a fortnight ago of
emperor Kuang-Hsu and the dowager
empress of China was suspended long

Tho ceremonies were performed by
officials of the highest rank and a
number of coolies of the most hum

into the palace to act as witnesses.
Following the ceremony an imperial
edict proclaiming the ascension was
issued. This communication contains
also a grant of amnesty. Tho cere

to various sorts of oppression.

Hown, of Sevierville, Tenn., “I would take smother
ing spells, and suffered at my periods till I wanted
to die. I would lio in bed for two weeks out of tho
month, and could not bear to bo turned over, nor for
anyone to walk across tho floor. I took doctor’s
medicine, but it did me no good, so my husband got
me a bottle of Cardui. I have taken two bottles and
have passed my last two periods without anv pain.
I can do my cooking now, and all my work, look
better and stouter than I have for 12 month's,y

hesitate to buy, and try Cardui, for
