A committee fidm the emigration agencies here has held a conference with Foreign Minister 'Hayashi, who announced that the plan of the Japanese government was to limit closely all emigration to the United tSatcs and Canada. Some members of the committee jried not for ornament or the pride of Chicago, 111, Dec. 7.

When it was over one of the men had crawled into a basement to die, and the police had no difficulty in tracking the other by the trail of blood he left.

A revolver may be carried, but only by special permit, unless the owner is a city, state or federal official of certain classes. Permits are issued with great care, and mostly to night watchmen and bank or express messengers.

Notwithstanding these restrictions, the carrying of concealed weapons in the large cities, east and west, is a constantly spreading evil.

Much in vogue among the Italian rag picking women is a very thin stiletto, sharpened to a razor keenness on boht edges. So small is the mark left by this terible weapon that there is a record of one case where a doctor issued a certificate of death by heart disease and issued it in god faith, for a man whose thorough.

If the tough negro of the cities carries any weapon at all it is a razor.

In use it is held with the blade doubled back across the knuckles, and the approved method is a long drawing sweep with the hand held palm downward. Fatalities are few, but the mutilations are point of attack being almost always, the neck and face. A razor is one of the deadly weapons that can be carried practically with impunity, as the man who is arrested with one in his pocket can always plead that he was taking it to a barber shop to be sharpened! The only other class besides the negroes which carries tho razor is the hobo or professional tramp. It is the recognized arm of ho-b'tdom, and no tramp regards himself as fully equipped for the road until he possesses a razor. Josinh Flynt, himself a tramp of many years' standing, in his bcok on tramp life instances a duel with razors between two hobos at a tramps' resort in New Jersey, in which one of the contestants was killed.

The straight out buckers of the faro bank and the roulette wheel apparently carry their revolvers very largely as a sort of badge of their high profession.

But in the big, prosperous, well-conducted gambling dens of the cities such affairs are about as infrequent as similar fracases in church. The proprietors discourage them as being productive of undesirable notoriety. So the gamblers, while perhaps the most numerous, are probably the least dangerous class among those whom we would naturally expect to figures as wearers and users of weapons.

Deadly Sword Canes. Deadly canes, such as sword, dagger, pistol and loaded canes, are characteristic of the French, buanish and Cuban residents in our cities, but these weapons are seldom used, and it is rarely that one of them comes into the hands of the police. Those who carry them invariably plead ignorance of the law, explaining that they carry the cane as a mark of caste. Other nationalities do not characteristically carry arms.

The Irishman fights with the hands God gave him, unless it happens to be his wife that he is fighting, in which case ne takes the household furniture. The Swede seldom fights, but when drunk be will use as a weapon anything that is within his reach, from his pocket knife to an axe, if he can lay his hands on one, and he fights to the death.

At that time unicago was infested with highwaymen, and so many of these "life preservers" with the mark of the firm were found in the possession of suspects arrested for holding up citizens that tho police finally put a stop to their sale. Few metal knuckles, blackjacks, sand clubs or "life preservers" are now carried, however, even by professional cnmmais, as they are of little actual us, and it is probable that the carrying of them formerly was inspired more by bravado than from nny practical consideration.

In fact, there are styles in weapons as in everything else. The invention' of gunpowder relegated armor to the junk pile.
