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.

"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."

FLAGLER'S WORK ON EAST COAST Since Peonage Charges Dis missed Work on Road Con tinues With a Rush 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 coat put forward by Vice President Joseph 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. Road Completed Within a Year. Vice President Parrott, who now la In New York on business connected with the gr«Mt extension which Is Jumping over a stretch of thirty miles 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 ing south. This means that a total of 124 miles has been completed out of the 156 miles of road surveyed from Miami to Key West. The great est of all the engineering feats on the wonderful line, however, is yet to b® completed. This Is the eleven-mil® gap from Knight’s Key to Bahia Hon da whore the line Is being carried ov* tho open ocean on concrete arches. Aid to Havana Traffic. The effect of the great extension vi trafTIc to Havana, however, already has been felt because now the steam ers for Havana meet the trains at Knigh’s Key and take passengers and freight from that point »o the Cuban capital instead of eighty-four miles north at Miami. When the line is completed to Key West huge railroad car floats will take entire rains across the Florida straits to Havana, -a dis tance of ninety m»®s, wlthoit com pelllng passengers to leave their car seats or sleeping car berths and with out the necessity of breaking bulk on a single consignment of freight. This will mean that the Cuban sug.ir plant- ill be enabled to load his product i freight car side-tracked at Ills plantation, have the car hauled by rail to Havana, floated to Key West and then rail-hauled right to New York «... .... .......U„ "ih.r.iHiInt -»*»>"* «ny of th- by tho prince, ot tho Imperial family ilanfonof 5B» ^ & Astonishing Sale Without doubt the most noteworthy offer yet made by a Macon store in the midst, or rather the real begin ning of winter goes in effect today.

It was more than a year and a half ago whe n this work was Interrupted by the United 8tales attorney general and charges were made that laborers on the railroad work were held In bondage, compelled to work practi cally without pay and were subjected to various sorts of oppression.
