that negotiations should be Immediate

At the provisional general council Of
the Tokyo Chamber OF Commerce on
United States Government should be
asked not to extend the Coast Trade
Prohibition Law to Hawaii and the
Philippines. An amendment by Mr..
Suenoku that the American Govern
be asked not to follow protect

lost. 1t was decided that Mr.. Shiraishi
should be dispatched from San Fran
cisco to Philadelphia as the represen-

question of the continuance Of State
aid to the Yusen Kaisha.
From Kamada In Echigo comes re-

tinued to 318 feet, there was another
and still more violent outburst, and
Since that time the well has spouted
regularly once an hour to a height Of
60 feet.
