nia's Attitude. harm, and maybe grave harm. A threat to use the federal courts to California. It reads as follows: We are jealously endeavor- to guard the interest of California of the entire west, in accordance with the desires of our western people. “By friendly agreement with Japan we are now carrying out a policy which, while meeting the interests and desires of the Pacific slope, is yet com- patible, not merely with mutual self- respect, but with mutual esteem and admiration between the Americans and Japanese. Japan Doing Its Part. “The Japanese government is loy- ally and in good faith doing its part to carry out this policy, precisely as the American government is doing: This policy aims at mutuality of obli- gation and behavior. “In accordance with it the purpose is that the Japanese shall come here exactly as Americans go to Japan, which is In effect that travelers, stu- dents, persons engaged in interna tional business, men who sojourn for pleasure or study and the like, shall have the free access from one country to the other, and shall be sure of the best treatment, but that there shall be no settlement in mass by the people of either country in the other. “During the last six months under this policy more Japanese have left the country than have come in, and the total number in the United States bas diminished by more than 2000. These figures are absolutely sccurate and cannot be impeached. “In other words, if the present pol- icy is consistently followed, and works as well in the future as it is now work- ing, all difficulties and causes of fric- tion will disappear, while at the same time each nation will retain its self- respect and the good will of the other. Grave Cause For Irritation, “But such a bill as this school bill accomplishes literally nothing what- ever in the line of the object aimed at, and gives just and grave cause for ir- ritation, while, in addition, the United States government would be obliged to take action in the federal courts to test such legislation, as we hold it to be clearly a violation of the treaty. “On this point I refer you to: the numerous decisions of the United States supreme court in regard to state laws which violate treaty obli- gations of the United States. The legislation would accomplish nothing beneficial and would certainly cause some mischief, and might cause very grave mischief. “In short, the policy of the adminis. tration is to combine the maximum of efficiency in achieving the real object which the people of the Pacific slope have at heart, with the minimum of friction and trouble, while the mis- guided men who advocate such action Prcstdeny Sees Grave Danger in cutis | Visit of the Britian Monarch ta of the as this against which I protest are fol- lowing a policy which combines the | very minimum of efficiency with the | maximum of insult. and which, While | totally failing to achieve any real re- sult for good. yet might accomplish an | infinity of harm.” President Lewis to Present Demands to George F. Baer. Indianapolis, Feb. 9—Thomas Lewis, president of the United Mine Work: ers, will go to New York and ask for a conference with President Baer, of the anthracite operators, on a new wage scale for the miners of that gec- tion. He will carry with him the demands of the anthracite miners, indorsed by the national convention, and will pre- sent them to Mr. Baer, as coming di- rect from the organization. If Mr. Baer refuses to confer with him, he will go to Pennsylvania and make arrangements for conferences with the miners’ leaders and attempt to get all the anthracite men into the union. At the headquarters here there is a feeling that the mission of Lewis wil! fail and that a strike will result. Ar- rangements are already making for an extra assessment to support the strikers.

Greatest Political Sinificance, as It May Result In an Understanding Tending to Allay International Yet sion, Berlin, Feb. 9.—King Edward, of Great Britain, accompanied by Queen Alexandra, arrived here to visit Em- peror William, and were warmly wel- comed by the court officials and the populace generally. Elaborate prepa- rations were made for their reception at every hand. The hearty goodwill displayed toward the visiting sover- eigns was at variance with the snarl ing mood maintained by the majority of Britons and Germans towards one another, The visit of King Edward is regard- ed generally in itself as an event at the present moment of the greatest political significance, and with the feeling that it would be an excellent thing for both nations if the meeting of the two monarchs resulted in a mu- tual understanding tending to allay international tension. From no quar- ter, however, is the expectation voiced with any confidence that the visit of the English king will produce direct tangible effects, The semi-oflicial Nord Deutsche Allegemeine Zeitung, in a brief para graph, makes reference to the oceca- sion, saying: “We expect the meeting to effect good in the relations between the British and German peoples. The demonstration of friendly feeling and kinship to which the visit gives rise will be a further encouragement for all who are striving, both in Germany and England, against the estrangement of the two nations, and for those who desire to lead the relations in a safe direction. Assidious efforts will, how- ever, still be necessary to attain the goal of enduring friendship, founded upon mutual esteem between the two greatest civilized nations. The visit of the British monarchs and the re- ception accorded them by Germany means progress towards that end. In this belief we hope the coming festivi- ties will be untroubled and that the meeting will have favorable after effects.” The German newspapers, in many instances, are inclined to view the king's visit as a mere return of cour- tesy for the emperor's visit to Eng: land, adopting the tone that the Brit- ish nation is not with the king on his journey to Berlin. At the same time, the majority of the articles on this subject are imbued with most friendly politeness. Pleaded Not Guilty to Charge of Mur dering Her Husband. Lyons, N. Y., Feb. 9.-—Mrs, Georgia E.
