JAPAN WILL STOP
 THE EMIGRATION
Taking Steps to Restrict lmpor-
 tationS to United States.
LABORERS NEEDED AT HOME
That Government is Interested in Pro- tecting It's People from the Impo- sitions and Hardships Result
 ing from Leaving Country

Washington, April 2S.-Information has reached Washington to the effect that the Japanese government itself,- and without waiting a request from the United States Is about to take steps to restrict the im- migration of Japanese coolies to the United States It is said that such large emigra- tion as has lately occurred has resulted entirely from the competition of two great Japanese emigration societies; that the laborers have been practically brought here under the delusion that there were untold opportunities for work at great wages.
 The Japanese government Is interested in protecting it's people from the hardships resulting from such impostions, and that is the reason 1t tends to establish re- strictions upon the outward flow. It is said, however, that the government would never contemplate with equinamity legis- lation with the United States directly ex- elusive against Japanse immigration, for they are perfectly willing to abide by the results of any legislation on the subject of immigration that affects all outside na- tions alike, discrimination against Japan ese would certainly have most disastrous effects upon the large and growing trade between the United States and Japan. The position of the Japanese government on that point Is that the Japanese immigrant is not for a moment to be classed with the Chinese coolie.

CROWDS ARRIVING
 IN MONTGOMERY All the Candidates Are Already
 on the Ground. DELEGATES SLOW TO ARRIVE Everyone Seems To Be in Good Humor, and the Various Aspirants for
 Governor Feel Sanguine
 ofNomination
DELEGATES SLOW TO ARRIVE

Montgomery, April 23.-(SpeciaL )-Dele- gates to the democratic state convention scheduled to meet in this city at noon on Wednesday arriving rather slowly. There are not more than seventy-five dele gates here tonight, an insufficient number to make the lobbies present the usual con- vention period scenes With two exceptions all of the candidates for state offices have arrived. The candidates for governor came last night, and during the day there were so few delegates here that the candidates spent a large portion of the day 'hobnob- bing' among themselves. There is a feel ing of good will among all of the candi- dates, and it now looks as if the convention will be a harmonious one.
 Among the more distinguished statesmen who arrived today were Congressmen Bankhead, Clayton and Brewer, Chairman K. J. Lowe of the state committee, John B. Knox, w. c. Tunstall, Fillmore Garrett and R. B. Kelley of Calhoun, F. l.. Pettus of Dallas, ". J. Bonner of Wilcox, A. Stein hart of Butler, o. Kyle of Morgan, C. S. Mcdowell of Barbour, J. J. Altman, H. B. Gray of Jefferson A. P. Smith, M. c. Meri- dith of Greene, George Searcy, H. B. Foster, w w. Brandon, George B. John ston, A. B. McEachin of Tuscaloosa, w. D. Dunn of Clarke, S. P. Prowell of Marengo, Wilson Brown of Colbert J. c. Kumpe, D. c. Almon of Lawrence, John H. Wal lace of Madison, J. H. Adams of Dale.
 The gubernatorial candidates all appear sanguine. Each one claims the nomna- ton. The estimated instructed strength of each tonight is Sanford, 161; Waller, 76; Stallings, 6S; Shelley, 5S. This places 40 delegates in the uinstructed column. The state committee will meet at noon tomor- row. There are two contests to come be- fore the committee-one from Mobile and one from Jefferson. In Jefferson H. c. Miller makes appeal to have the Jefferson committee forced to recount the vote for treasurer in that county, he having been defeated by Henry Gray with eighteen ma Jorfty. The committee will suggest tenn porary officers. Frank s. White of Jeff ferson is most talked of for chairman for the convention. A special from Baldwin county announces that Stallings and Wiley have carried the county. This insures Co., lonel Wiley's election to congress as suc- cessor to MT. Staldlings.

FRANCE FRIENDLY
The Temps Thinks Turkey Will Pay
 j the Indemnity

Paris, April 23-The Temps today pub fishes long article on the Turko-Amer- fean situation, reviewing the circumstances in manner quite friendly to the United States and expressing confidence that Fur key will pay the indemnity demanded by the United States. Referring to the alleged intention of the United States to occupy Smyrna in default of payment, the Temps says:
 "The United States would not, perhaps, be sorry to display little before the eyes not only of the sultan, but of entire Eu- rope, the newly-acquired glitter of their navy, crowned with the laurels of Cavite and Santiago. The occupation of Smyrna would be joke and there is ground to hope that Abdul Hamid will see the mad ness of resistance, which for such triv- ial object would bring about much serious results.'

The Federation B!ll

London, April A.-The government has published dispatches exchanged between Joseph Chamberlain and the Australian premier on the federation bill. These show that, with a view of meeting Australia s objection to the jurisdiction of the privy council-which MT. Chamberlain admits is practically the only matter now delaying federation-the government proposes to amalgamate the privy council with the house of lords, so far as judicial work is concerned In this way the government would create one court of appeals for the whole empire; and at the same time, in order to strengthen the colonial element in this supreme court, several colonial law yers would be appointed to peerages
