WASHINGTON, June 6.-Senator
Frye, of Maine, is the leading Republi-
can member of the committee on for
eign relations. He was entitled to the
Craftsmanship of the committee when
Senator Sherman retired from the SEN
ate, but declined the position in favor
Of Senator Davis, of Minnesota, whem
he believed to be better equipped than
himself, as an international lawyer.
Senator Frye is, however, a potential
factor in foreign affairs, and he this
evening said: 1T appears that Japan
is attempting to coerce the Hawaiian
republic into receiving all of her emf
grants, on the ground that the re-
fGsal of Hawaii to receive Japanese
would be violation Of treaty rights.
Our reciprocal relations with Hawaii
will be continued in the pending tariff
bill, in accordance with the amend
ment proposed by Senator Davis. More
over, this country will not permit any
intimidation of that little republic in
the Pacific ocean. The Hawaiian
islands are the wards of this nation,
and they shall not be abused nor intim
lOctlSo Wy Japan, 'uOI ny c1lAy OlHSl lAc1-
tion.'
Senator Davis was seen upon the
subject, and he merely said: II am
conversant with the proceedings in the
Pacific ocean, and am aware of the
views expressed by Senator Frye; but
cannot express any opinion at present
for publication, until I shall have re-
ceiVed later advices.'
The opinion prevails in diplomatic
circles that the Japanese look upon
the United States as a vast territorial
empire, something like China; and that
they incline to the belief that this coun
try might be as easily disposed of in
warfare as China was in the late un-
pleaSantneSS.
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, June 6.-The
steamer Coptic arrived this evening

increased rather than diminished by

Everybody in the city has known that some
