SAN Francisco, June IA letter from
Yokohama, Japan, says that Rev. James
Summers, proprietor of the well-known
English school at Toxic, patronized by
the nobility, was driving in one of the
leading thoroughfares of that city with
his wife, when the carriage of the dowa-
ger empress, mother of the mikado, es-
corted by cavalry passed. 1t is customary
for every one to uncover when member
of the royal family passes, and Mr.. sum-
mers refined his horse beside the road and
took off his hat, but replaced it after the
royal carriage had passed. One of the
rear escort was incensed Oh seeing Sum-
MRS covered, and held his lance so that it
would strike the hat, but by accident it
struck Summers on the head.
The Press Ineites to Outrage.
The soldier was arrested and court-mar-
tailed, but the people misunderstood the
affair, and the native press took advan-
tage of the occasion to ineite the populace
against the foreigners. As an outcome OF
the excitement the native students or shoZ
made repeated raids upon Mr.. Summers
school, and so annoyed him that he was
compelled to leave. He sailed for Eng
land on the 18th of May. The shoe are
still much excited, and foreigners fear an
outbreak
Doesn't Always Take on His Hat.
Unfortunately Summers is the same
man who caused the death of the governor
of Macao in China, forty years ago, by
refusing to remove his hat when the
corpus christi procession was passing. He
was thrown into prison by the Portuguese.
but rescued by an English admiral, and
during the disorders ensuing the Portu-
guese governor and one other person were
killed.
An Ameri, an Assaulted
On the 18th of May, while native stu
dents of the Presbyterian school were
playing base ball with students of the i'm
perial school at Toxic, Rev. c. Knox, an
American missionary teacher in the Pres
byterian school, and Rev. W. imbrey, of
New Jersey, also teacher in that school,
being present, the shoz attacked Mr.. I'm
brey and beat him, infiicting several in
juries with clubs and knives. The native
police seem very indifferent, and the out
come of the trouble is difficult TO predict.

The CEDAR KEYS TROUBLE.
A Letter from the President That Is
Writ in Very Plain English.

a Letter from the President That Is
Writ in Very Plain English.
WASHINGTON CITY, June THE presi-
dent yesterday responded to the senate
resolution of May % requesting informa-
ton concerning the alleged landing of an
armed force from the United States reve-
nue. cutter McLane, at Cedar Keys, Fla,
and the alleged entry of the houses of
citizens by force and their alleged pursuit
of citizens of the United States in the sur-
rounding country. 1T will be observed, +"
says the president, that the United
States collector of customs at Cedar KEYS
had been driven from his Office and from
the town, and the administration - the
customs laws of the United States at that
port suspended by the violent demOnstra-
lions and threats of one Cottrell, the
mayor of the place, assisted by his town
marshal, Mitchell.
Protection of United States officials
''If it had been necessary, as l do not
think 1t can be in any case, for United
States officer to appeal to the local author-
tiles for immunity from violence in the
exercise of his duties, the situation at
Cedar Keys did not suggest or encourage
such an appeal, for those to whom the ap.
peal would have been addressed were
themselves the lawless instruments of the
threatened violence. The means used in
this case were, in my opinion. lawful and
necessary, and the officers do not seem to
have intruded upon any private right in
executing the warrants placed in their
hands.
A Grim Commentary for Fact.
"That the officers of the law should not
have the full sympathy of every good citi-
zen in their efforts to bring these men to
merited punishment is the matter of sur
prise and regret. 1t is very grim COM
mentary upon the condition of social or
der at Cedar Keys that only a woman, who
had, as she says in her letter, no son or
husband who could be made the victim of
his malice, had the courage to file charges
against this man, who was then holding a
| subordinate place in the customs service"
Baffied by the Citizens.
Accompanying the presidents letter are
papers showing that the United States
marshal and the officers of the revenue
cutter McLane were yictimized by the PEG
pie, who foiled them several times in their
efforts to capture Cottrell, and that nc
houses were searched, except where per
mission was cheerfully granted
