FIFTY JAPANESE REJECTED
SPECIAL BOARD OF INQUIRY AT
TACOMA. WASH.
Nineteen Others Only Allowed to Land
on Guarantee of Their
Consul.
Consul.

TACOMA, Wash, May 29-A special
board of inquiry, composed of Collector
w. "A. FairWeather, chairman: Deputy Col
lectors w. w. Delacey and Robert Watch
orn, special supervising immigration in
spector, who is in Tacoma from Washing
ton for the express purpose of irquring
into the sudden immigration of japanese to
this coast, worked from o'clock last night
until midnight passing on seventy-one
Japanese who had been rejected by Immi-
grafton Inspector Walker, on the steamship
Glenogle. Out of this number the board re-
jected fifty of them outright This is by
far the largest number ever rejected out of
a single shipment to the sound.
Nineteen of the remaining twenty-one
came dangerously near being rejected also
They We're allowed to land only upon the
japanese consul giving his guarantee that
they would obtain employment within the
next sixty days. Some of the fifty Japan
ese were rejected because they had infec-
uous diseases. Others because it appeared
that they We're contract laborcrs. Only two
out of the entire seventy-one passed the eX-
animation successfully. The Glenogle
brought :'5S japanese to Tacoma on this
TRIP, and the percentage of reflections was
unusually large.
The japanese missionary at Tacoma who
makes it his business to find employment
for the japanese emigrants admitted ia The
examining board thar there are now 300
japanese in Tacoma out Of employment.
Inspector Snyder of Seattle says there are
400 japanese out of work in that city.
Another thing brought out in the investi-
cation is that more than three times as
many japanese are landed in Victoria as
are brought to the sound ports
When the news reaches Japan that fifty
japanese out of single shipment have
been rejected in Tacoma the next ship that
ccmes will likely unload the entire lot in
Victoria and let them take chances of cross
ing the line in small bodies. If they are
caught they cannot be sent back any fur
ther than Victoria, whereas, if they are
rejected in Tacoma. they must go back to
Japan. The Genogle is due to sail on
Wednesday, so the japanese will have but
little time in which to appeal their cases
to Washington. should they so desire.

Such advices as have reached here indi-
cate that the situation in China has as
sumed a Very critical phase and one cal
cuIated to tax the entire resources of the
Chinese government. The State Depart
ment has been In close communication with
Mr. Cunger. our minister at Pekin, and the
Navy Department is doing its share, having
placed the flagship Newark as far up the
Pei-io river as the Taku forts which is
the nearest point to Pekin that the ship can
reach. The operations of the ''boxers' are
increasing in magnitude. Their demonstra-
tons are no longer local, and they appear
To be governed III their movements by some
welI-settled design. They have already
murdered nine Methodist missionaries in one
province. near the town of Pachow and
have closed in on Pekin. Meanwhile the
Chinese army is suspected of disloyaity as
is exhibited in wholesale desertions OF the
soldiers to the boxers
ConSer Asks for Protection.
Minister Conger has appealed to the State
department for the protection of a marine
guard for his legation. The department
has promptly cabled him an authorization
10 call upon the nearest United States naval
vessels for assistance. 1t is not known yet
whether he has availed himself of the per-
mission The ship he would naturally look
10 would be the Newark. at Taku. 1t is
assumed that he has already communicated
with Admiral Kempff, on board that flag
ship.
The embarrassing feature of the situation
is the cutting of the communica ton by rail
between Taku and Tientsin and the capital
for the Boxers have burned the railroad
bridges, and there probably only two
courses open to the marines who wish to
reach Pekin. a long overland march
through a hostile country away from sup
ports or a tedious voyage up the swift and
shallow Pei-Ho in shore boats in tow of
steam launches, time-consuming means
of making the voyage.
According 10 report, the Chinese govern
ment has done everything in its power to
meet The demands of the diplomatic body at
Pekin for the dispersion of the Boxers >
but II appears that he uprising Is far more
serious than was at first apprehended and
even the resident ministers at Pekir are
inclined to admit that the task is not an
easy one for the Chinese government
No Interference in Local Trouble
So far all of the measures taken py the
State Department look to the simple protec-
tion of the American legation at Pekin. the
American consulates in the vicinity. and
the lives of such Americans as NAV be
obliged to take refuge therein, in the event
of general rioting.
The State Department is closely adher-
ing to the practice it has always observed
of non-interference in these Chinese dis
turbances. and ii is not contemplated that
our naval forces shall take any part in
the contest between the Chinese govern
ment and the Boxers though it is as
sumed that Rear Admiral Remey. the COM
mander-in-chief of the Asiatic station will
take immediate steps to supply Rear Ad-
miral kempf, the senior squadron COM
mander. with such naval force he may
need for safeguarding American interests a;
