JAPANESE COMPLAIN.
SAY THEY ARE TREATED WITH
THE GREATEST INDIG-
NIFTY.
Health Authorities Method of 1nocula-
ton Criticized By Minister In
Charge.

Washington, June 1.-Mr. NaDeshlnla,
the Japanese minister in charge here mas
been having some further communication
with the state department respecting the
complaint by his government against the
treatment of it's citizens by the health au-
thorities at San Francisco, in connection
with the quarantine against the plague.
The burden of the Japaese complaint IS
that not only have the Japanese residents
in San Francisco as whole been dis
criminated against in violation of treaty
rights but that the local health authori-
ties enforced the regulations as to lnocu-
lation not only with severity. but with
great rudeness. People of the better
class among them a member of the Jap
anese parliament, it is asserted, have
been treated with great indignity, and
japanese ladies residing outside of San
Francisco and returning from shopping
trips have been rudely seized and OBJ
liged to submit to incubation by the
health authorities. The latter who are
state officials. assert that they have been
acting under the direction of DR.. Kin
youn. representing the national govern
ment, but the latter is not inclined to ac-
cept this responsibility and is inquiring
into the ground of complaint. No ObJec-
ton is made against the drawing OF
quarantine lines around the quarter sup
posed to be infected such as is China
town. only it is asked that all of the per-
sons impounded therein be treated alike,
regardless of nationality.

This reference to the United States and
the message of sympathy from America
to the president of dying sister republic
profoundly moved everyone present.
Tears glistened in the presidents eyes

In presenting the message Smith made
manly little speech, informing President

hope that he would have an equally safe

investigation into all the departments

have been many rumors inspired by the
postal scandal of fraudulent transactions
in the other departments-the customs

depa rltment of parks. l have every rea-
son to believe that these departments
have been conducted In most business

depa rtment ! am sure of it is the Gus
