New features are being brought to light
every day by the investigation into the

the steamer Peru, that arrived on Wednes-

passengers were ten or dozen Japs, who
were held on board until immigration Com
missioner Stradley and Deputy Geffeney
could determine whether they were entitled
to land.
From the answers and manner of answer
ing questions the Japs show beyond a
doubt that they have been coached as to
what they should say in response to the
Commissioners questions. When led
away from the routine line of inquiry the
immigrants become nervous or sullen, and

is not the slightest doubt but that he
spoke the truth when telling of Nishuichi
going to Japan and bringing out Japanese
cody laborers for the Vacaville and Sacra-

These reflections by the japanese paper
upon Shiono have caused the latter and
his friends to become very indignant, and

in hot water for the freedom with which
he gave expression to his sentiments and

is Judge Arnold, and he promptly
rendered decision that services at
cremation were not Christian burial

cfded to abandon tn 'ir original inten-
ton. TIE funeral will take place at
