JAPAN HAS A GRIEVANCE.
Objects to British Colum lin Discrim-
inatiAg Agaiast Her Citizens.


mating Agaiast Her Citisens.
Vancouver. B. c.. May s.-Kato Takaa-
ia, Japanese Ambassador to the Court OF
St. James, en- route to Japan, was inter-
viewed by The Times correspondent at
Vancouver today. He said regarding leg
islation by the British Columbia govern
ment making it Illegal to employ Japa-
Eese in the mines: This law is distaste-
full to Japan. While aliens, for instance,
are encouraged to migrate to America.
the Japanese are told that they are not
desirable immigrants. Japan is nrst-
class nation and this is an indignity which
cannot be quietly submitted to. and there
is no reason for 1t. The Japanese are not
as thrifty, perhaps, as the Chinese, bur
they are better spenders, and therefore do
not send their earnings out Of the country
like Chinese for they have not any to send
after their personal wants have been sat
isfied. l called on the imperial govern
ment several times regarding British CO.
lumbia's Objectionable law and was re-
ceived most courteously.
Lord Salisbury promised me that the
British government would do all in their
power without exercising the veto prero-
gative to have the Dominion government
induce the British Columbia legislature
to rescind the obnoxious law. II Great
Britain refuses to veto the Legislation in
case her wishes are ignored by the Cana
dian government. then the people Of ia
pan would no doubt raise such cry as to
force the Japanese government to sever
trade relations with Canada. AT present
the friendliness Of Japan to Canada is il
lustrated by a cable received by me today
stating that on or before July 18th next.
the date of the new treaty between fav-
ored nations. Canada would be allowed to
enjoy the benefit Of conventional tarfn."
Regarding the Philippine question. Mr..
Kate stated that there might be a few
Japanese who sympathized with the rebels,
but the great mass Of the people we're on
the side Of the United States. and the gov
ernment was keeping strictly neutral. and
rigidly enforcing the neutrality laws Ru-
mOrs of arms being smuggled to the rebels
by Japanese were untrue. The government
was keeping too strict watch for that to
happen.

The Rockefeller Msnolith.


The task Of moving the Rockefeller mon
olith from the cars to it's place in Lake
View Cemetery has proved to he more gil
gantic than was at first supposed. The
huge stone now rests in Mayfield Road.
about 300 feet east of the railroad tracks
1t was moved to that place by means Of a
house moving outfit. Thursday a new ex-
pertinent was made which. it was hoped.
would be the means of more rapid trans
portation. An eight-horse power. double
cylinder. oscillating engine. mounted on a
wagon. which was securely braced and
blocked, was used instead Of the horse and
windlass. After a number OF trials this
was found to be failure. as the engine
was not powerful enough to move the
huge stone. Today the moving will con-
tinue by means Of the horse and windlass.
The monolith is enclosed in heavy oak
case, open on the bottom, where it rests
upon the trucks. Under it are two large
ship timbers of stout oak. across which are
heavy planks. The whole is mounted on
six large trucks similar to those used in
house moving. These trucks run on a
plank floor, which is moved forward as
rapidly as the trucks have passed parts
OF 1t. The method Of moving it is very
slow, and 1t is thought that about two
weeks will be necessary in transferring it
from its present position to its final place
in the cemetery. The hill on Mayfield
Road is considered great obstacle. 1t is
unpaved and is very muddy. A temporary
floor of several thicknesses Of plank will
be necessary in getting the stone up the in
cline. 1t is also thought that two or four
horses will be needed at this point.
Thursday there were many visitors to see
the monolith. 1t weighs about eighty tons,
and as it rested in the street It was nee
essary to put large Jack screws under it
in several places in order to keep it from
breaking the pavement. 1t is fifty-two
and one-haif feet long and FIVE feet square
and when in position it will be the second
largest stone set up in the United States
The largest is the Egyptian obelisk. Gle

Admiral Dewey is very modest man.
and he may not relish the idea Of being
bombarded with speeches on his return
from Manila. In New York one hundred
gentlemen have subscribed one hundred
dollars each for the purpose of giving him
dinner. each subscriber being privileged
to invite one guest. which means that It
will be fifty y-dollar-per-plate dinner.
Everybody believes in honoring Dewey,
and NO demonstration In his behalf can be
regarded az inadequte. but there is dam
ger that the best Of taste viii not be dis
played In the various forms Of welcome
that are being planned.

willing to share the burdens of the Gov
ernment. rather than embarrass 1t, and
thus prolong the confiict Of arms. It
will be regarded as Infamous to disparage
the army and navy and seek to pollute
the minds OF those who would join either
service. Hereafter the anti-impera1ists.

An Impron,ptu Retort.

FTom the Cleveland Plain Dealer)
bright-eyed young fellow, with musical
brogue, was brought into the Central Station a
few evenings ago. charged with an excess of
liquid hilarity. 1t is a standing formula with
Lieutenant Schmunk to ask prisoners in this con.
dition why they don't marry and settle down
young man," he enqlired of the hilarious
youth, ''are YOU marriedY'
''N-no. SIR"
3'Well. why don't you marry and settle down 20
The young man looked at the lieutenant with
a humorous twinkle in his eye.
"Cause," he promptly replied. '"cause pre-
