Mr.. DENLY, American Minister
to China is again seeking to bring
to the attention of Chinese author
tiles the petition of European ladies
against the custom of footbinding
1t is to be hoped that these ladies
will also use their efforts to prevent
the Chinese taking up many of the
cruelties of European fashion.
Footbinding is injurious and cruel,
but it is a feature of Chinese fash
ion and cannot be wiped out in a
day. Should the Chinese divert
their attention from reforming
feet to reforming waists after the
European style we are inclined to
believe that physicians would tell
us that it is a choice between two
serious evils. If Dame Fashion of
the Far East could strike a happy
medium with Dame Fashion of the
West the result would be highly
satisfactory.

DIPLOMATIC SHOTS EXCHANGED.

The first exchange of diploma
tic documents between Hawaii and
Japan regarding the immigration
troubles has been completed and
the question Is no nearer settle
ment than it was when the first lot
of immigrants was returned.
From all that can be learned of
Japan's request, it is couched in
very definite language. Hawaii Is
asked to show why it has not violat
ed the treaty and furthermore is
requested to recognize the Japan
csc right to secure indemnity for
the injury suffered. This last
claim Is perhaps the most signifi-
cant and comes somewhat in the
nature of a demand. If Japan
were disposed to assume a ques-
tioning attitude, or had the incEn-
alton to recognize that Hawaii's
action was anything but serious
affront to japanese national dig
nifty, the request for recognition of
the principle of indemnity would
have been omitted. go
The reply of the Hawaiian off
Gals is terse and % the point, con-
corning the intention of the Re
public. To all intents and pur-
poses, it is simply reiteration of
previous assertions that Hawaii
intends to administer immigra-
ton laws according to the dictatiOn
of legislative enactment; Hawaii
recognizes no Interpretation OF its
laws outside that given by the exc
cutive and judicial departments OF
the government. No lengthy eX-
PLANTATION is given and no instances
cited i'm which Hawaii has dealt in
a similar manner with any other
nation with which it has treaty re-
Iations. Our officials have evil
IDENTIFY taken the letter from the
japanese Foreign Office as a form
al request to ''back down." The
reply asserts that Hawaii will not
retract, basing it refusal on the
right of sovereign state to admin
lister its own laws.

1t is now apparent that the I'M

ton is not satisfactory to Japan
what will happen? That is what
the people want to know and IS
what no one can forecast.
1t is not impossible that Japan
will interpret the reply of Hawaii
as sounding the note of defiance.
That is about what it amounts to
and the question arises how long
the defiant attitude can be held
without serious results. The set
Element of this proposition rests
principally with the United States.
Japan may be depended upon to
stand by what it considers tie
rights of its citizens up to the last
notch. The request that a similar

is sufficient guarantee of that. 1t
Hawaii and Japan keep up the pace
now set it is not impossible that
