Itae1f-A Protest.

Washington, April 24.-Informatiou
has reached Washington TO the effect
that the Japanese government itself,
ard without waiting request from
the United States, is about to take
steps to restrict the emigration of
Japanese coolies to the United States.

tive to this emigration have been mag
nified. and that as a matter Of fact
there are not more than about fifteen
or sixteen thousand japanese within
The limits of the United States outside
of Hawaii. 1t is said that such emf
grafton as has lately occurred has re-
suited from the competition of the two
great japanese emigration societies;
that the laborers have been practical
l.y brought here under the delusion
that there were untold opportunities
Tor work at great wages.
The Japanese government is inter
ested in protecting its people from the
hardships resulting from such imposi-
lions, and that is the reason il intends
10 establish restrictions upon the out
ward 1iow.. 1t is said, however, that

sively against Japanese immigration,

Ly the results of any legislation on
the subject of immigration that affects
al outside nations alike, discrimina-
ton against Japan would certainly
have most disastrous effects upon the
large and growing trade between the
United States and Japan.
The position of the Japanese govern
ment upon that point is that the

ment to be classed with the Chinese
