DOORS OPEN TO JAPANESE
ALL EXCEPT CONTRACT LABOR
MAY ENTER UNITED STATES.
Authorities Are Doing Nothing To-
ward Taking Action Regarding
Reported Influx of Coolies.

Washington, April 16.-Up to this
point nothing has been done by the
Washington authorities looking toward
the restriction of the immigration of
Japanese into this country beyond, the
application of the contract labor laws.
The enforcement of these laws is en-
trusted to the officials of the treasury
department, and SO far as is known
they have not discovered any move
ment toward bringing into the United
states Of Japanese coolies under labor
contracts. They are not, however, au-
thorized to interfere with the incoming
OF the Japanese who can satisfy the
requirements of the laws in the mat
ter Of freedom from contract obliga-
tons and ability to maintain them
selves. $3.50.
1t is believed that unlike other ORR
entails, few Japanese, even Of the la
boring classes, fail to make sufficient
showing on these points to pass muster
and secure admission at the Golden
Gate.
If. however the tide of Japanese i'm
migration now setting toward the Brit
ism northwestern possessions should
include japanese coolies under contract
10 labor in the United States. there will
be necessity for considerable rein
forcement Of the treasury employees
charged Win the pOlclng or the bOun-
dairy lines between Washington and
British Columbia in order to prevent
their entrance into the United States.
There is no formal obligation upon
the British colonial authorities to pre-
vent such japanese from crossing the
line beyond that of mere neighborly in
tsrest. a consideration not always suf-
hcient to stop Illicit dumping of unde-
sirable immigrants.
Although the recent reports from
San Francisco Of the arrival at that
port Of considerable numbers of Jap
anese labOrers, taken in connection
with the steady increase of the Japan
ese population Of the Hawaiian islands,
has attracted the authorities of the
executive branch Of the government. il
IS said that even supposing the pres
ence Of the japanese within our terri
torial limits should be regarded as I'M
desirable. the subject Of restriction is
entirely beyond executive reach at
present. being one for the consideration
of congress.
The figures Of the immigration. bu-
reaus on the Pacific coast are, how
ever, being closely watched, for upon
their showing may depend important
recommendations upon this subject

gramme gotten up for the occasion
possessed the qualities of both beauty
and uniqueness On the heavy white
card cover. shone forth the American
flag in red, white and blue, with the
initials ~. S. A. P" beneath.
The dances, seventeen in number,
with ten extras "and one for Soapy
Williams" were all appropriately
named after battles of the Philippine
war in which Utah'S volunteers took
such creditable part. A list of the
committees followed.
A description Of the event would be
incomplete without mention Of the elab-
crate decorations. This work was done
under the personal supervision of r.
f. Peters, the costumer, and reflected
great credit, both upon his ingenuity
and artistic instinct. Upon the stage
the orchestra was stationed, embOW-
cred in mass of red, white and blue
bunting and all sizes of American flags.
Bannerettes with ~. s. A. Pr worked
on them were flung from various points
Of vantage. At each end of the stage
stock a Calling gun, one hanked by
the famous Filipino field piece, COM
monty called the Cigarette" the other
by the imposing Spanish cannon sent
from the Philippines by Major R. w.
Young.
Behind all this were placed 'numer-
Gus incandescent lights, which shed
soft green light, and finished off to a
nicely the scheme of decoration. From
the chandeliers hung flags of all ma
lions. At intervals along the side walls
were cross pieces from some of the
same old guns employed by Utah lads

ranks. To these were attached cards
bearing such inscriptions as, Robert
Reid, battle of Caloeean;" Corporal
Margetts, battle of Balinag;" James
Lee, battle Of Santa Mesa" Sergeant
Kneass, battle Of Maraquina Road"
The battery guidons were also placed
in conspicuous places.
To the left of the entrance, on a
Filipino straw mat background, hung
an interesting collection of Filipino
and Spanish trophies, gathered in
the Philippines by Edward F. Blake, a
Utah volunteer. The collection in
cludes various native weapons, knives,
among them a saw-fish knife; a Fill
Pine uniform and rain suit, the latter
made of cocoanut hair; a native flag,
captured at the Chinese leper hospital
at Manila, and several pretty pieces Of
Filipino handwork, and cooking uten-
sis. To the left of the entrance were
arranged N neat design weapons used
by the Utah officers in the Philippine
war.

The Utah Society of the Army Of the
Philippines made it's initial bow to the
social world last night, in the form of
q bali at Christensen academy. The
society has been organized only short
time, but the readiness with which its
friends last night accepted the invita-
ton to spend an evening with the ex-
soldier boys, firmly attested the popu-
larity of an organized movement
towards the preservation of the com
radeship formed and memories treas
ured up while fighting for the flag.
The scene of the ball was one not
soon to be forgotten. Between 500 and
500 persons were in attendance. Cover

they We're there galore, and each and

SUBMIT AFFIDAVITS.
Denounces Petition From Several
Hundred Citizens of Shoshone

Asking For the Retention of
Troops, as Bogus"

Washington, April 16-The Occur
d'Alene. investigation was resumed to-
day, with w. r. Stimson, ore of the
former county commissioners of Sho-
shone county, on the stand to rebut
features developed in the previous tes-
timony. His evidence was to the effect
that he was removed from office by the
state and military authorities because
they believed he would not serve their
purposes. He declared, in answer to
questions, that his removal was
brought about by the legal and judicial
tools of the Bunker Hill mine and
the Standard Oil company.
The witness presented a photograph
taken at the time of the outbreak of
1892. 1t showed the front of a saloon at
Gem, with the glass windows riddled
with rife shots. These, he testified,
were made by 'pinkertons and thugs,
brought in by the mining companies to
pHt down the union men"
Most of Stimson's testimony related
TO minor circumstances in. the affair
under consideration.
An exciting controversy occurred at
the afternoon session when the petition

controversy these were ruled out, the
vote being on party lines.

A motion by Mr.. Sulzer, calling on
the president for affidavits bearing on
the petition, was similarly voted down
by the committee.

New York, April ia special to the
Herald from Washington says: To
Admiral Dewey has been given an OPP
portunity to explain fully his position
III regard to the Democratic party by
prominent member of the Democratic
national committee, who has sent to the
admiral letter which may later be
given out for publication.
After expressing due regard for Ad-
miral Dewey. the writer Of the letter
proceeds to explain that. his allegiance
to the Democratic party is such that he
cannot restrain himself from asking
certain questions. He was. he writes.
happy to learn that Admiral Dewey
considers himself Democrat, but there
has been so much talk Of a third tick
ct, with Dewey at the head, that he
considers it only fair that a more speci-
nc announcement should be made than
has yet come from Admiral Dewey.
He then asks whether Admiral Dewey
intends to let his name be presented to
the convention that has been called to
meet in Kansas City. If So he wants
TO know whether the admiral is pre-
pared to stand by any platform that
may be there adopted. The pointed
question is then asked as to whether
Admiral Dewey will, if he fails TO Sc
cure the nomination, support the candi-
date named by the party. Permission
has been given 10 Admiral Dewey to
make public the letter and to answer
it through the press.
Supported by Perry Belmont.
The only visitor at the admiraIs
country residence Sunday to whom
any political significance is attached
was Nathan Strauss Of New York.
who les an avowed advocate of Admiral
Dewey's candidacy. Mr.. Strauss spent
several hours in consultation with the
admiral relative to the Forthcoming de-
claration of principles which will be
promulgated probably on Tuesday next.
1t is well known that Mr.. Strauss is
cooperating with Perry Belmont and
other sound money Democrats who are
interested in the Dewey movement.
The admiral decL ned to discuss the
details of Mr.. Strauss visit beyond say
ing that Mr.. Strauss made a friendly
call and seemed to enjoy the beautiful
surroundings and the baimy weather
of Easter Sunday. A personal friend of
Mr.. Strauss tonight said that New York
could be depended upon to give the
Dewey boom a decided boost in the near
future
1t is rumOred that the admiral will
again visit New York before he starts
on his western trip.

a little further down the block Cam
non, being helpless with the frightened
steedS, took the same course.
The horses dragged the wagon by
the straps that serve in lieu of the
neckyoke, going at a fearful rate until
First South was reached. They then
tried to turn east toward home, but
their speed was such that the turn could
not be made clear and with a crash
the wagon swung against the building
on the southeast corner of First South
and West Temple, diagonally across
from the old Herald building. A woman
who. was standing in the doorway of
the store had a remarkable escape, fall
ing backward through a glass door to
get. out of the way.
The wagon and horses concluded to
separate right here. Next to the barn
the horses considered the Tribune a
pretty good place, and started right
down the sidewalk, good citizens CIV
ing them all the room they required.
the animals fell down, and ii brought
both to a sudden halt. They were
quieted down and led back TO the re-
mains of the wagon. The hind axle
was sprung, two or three spokes were
knocked out and the rail around the
seat was smashed.
Otherwise the vehicle was not dam
aged. 1t went to the shop for repairs,
while Hempel walked his prisoners into
the station. They gave the names of
c. F. and G. a. Long, and it was
George who thought the runaway was
such joke. Besides a few bruises,
none of the participants, horses or men,
was injured.

Got Consul Hay His ExequatOr
at Pretoria.
GOING TO REJECT HIM
WAS TOO FRIENDLY WITH BRIT
ISL AT LONDON.
Son of the Secretary of State Escapes
the Humiliation of Being Sent
Home as Persona non Grata Only
Through Intervention of Assist
ant Secretary of the Interior.

Kansas City, No, April IA Wash
ington dispatch to the Journal states
that but for the intercession of Web
ster Davis, late assistant secretary Of
the interior, AdeIbert Hay, son of the
secretary of state, would not have re-
ceived his exequator as American con-
sui at Pretoria
Mr.. Davis was in Pretoria about the
time Mr.. Hays arrival was expected.
The Transvaal officials had already
heard of the new consuTs sojourn in
London, had been informed that he had
placed himself in communication with
the foreign Office there. and had ac-
tually had an interview with Lord
Salisbury. They had been further in
formed that after his appointment Mr.
Hay had held three hours conference
with John Hays Hammond, convicted
Of high treason against the Transvaal
government, and now an active cam
paigner against the Boer cause.
1t was al this stage Of the case Of
Consul Hay, according TO the Jour-
nails Washington correspondent, that
State Secretary Reitz took the assist
ant secretary Of the interior into his
confidence.
See mere, Davis, said ReitZ, 1T will
never do for US to receive this young
man and admit him to the confidential
relations to which he is entitled as
American consul. With the impress
sions which he must have received in
London in consultation with our en-
emies it would be suicidal We would
be harbOring an emissary of Great
Britain in our midst"
This was the status of affairs when
Davis took up young Hays case. He
persuaded Secretary ReitZ TO receive
him, partly because he wished to avoid
any possibility Of offending the Amer
lean secretary Of state, and partly be-
cause he trusted to the impressions
young Hay would receive from personal
contact with the Beers to convert him
into friend Of the republics.
On the plea made by Davis, young
Hay escaped the humiliation of being
sent home as persona non grata.
