JAPANESE
IMMIGRATION

The Hawaii Shinpo, a Japanese news
paper published i'm Honolulu. notes in
its issue of May 18th an unusual migra-
tion of japanese from the islands TO the
mainland. Lately" IL says almost
every steamer for the Coast carries
away a large number of Japanese Id
borers from here. They are said TO be
pre-engaged to work in California or
Chards, beet fields or on the railroads.
Several recruiting agents now in the
city are offering every inducement for
them TO migrate" But the worst side
of this migration of Japs from Hawaii
to this coast is recorded by the same
paper i'm another paragraph, in which
il is stated: AS a side issue, We are
told these recruiting agents are spirit
ing away a number of the late inmates
Of the Iwilei stockade In that same di-
rection II is said, by a good au-
thority, that the keepers of brothels on
the other side offer as high as $500 10
their agent as the commission for sham
ghaing a girl into their abode
The two features thus presented TO us
of Japanese migration from Hawaii

of the Pacific Coast represent some Of

At the general conference of the |
Methodist Episcopal church, which was
held at the Metropolitan Opera House |
in New York city in May. 1888. Bishop |
William Taylor. who--died lately in |
Alameda, was easily the most inter- |
esting figure, and gave fine and |
vigorous account of his work, reading |
from his written account for part of
the facts, but Illuminating his story by |
that off-hand speech which was native |
to the man ever since he began to |
preach in his youth. From this report
and discourse we quote as follows;
In the early part of 1885 I took with
me to South Central Africa a company
OF over 40 missionary men, women and
children. We arrived at st. Paul de
Loanda, the capital of the Portuguese
prOyince-Angola-on the Goth day of
March We were kindly received by
the encouragement of the province
and by Mr. Newton, the head Of the
English house at Loanda. a large COM
modious house, one Of the best in the
city, was procured at reasonable rent
for the temporary residence of our peO-
pie. Our objective point was the Tush-
elange country, discovered by DR.. Po-
gee and Lieut.. Weismann in 1888, some
1900 miles inland from Loanda. We
knew not whether the Lord would have
us march 1000 miles as quickly as we
could get into marching order or have
us proceed slowly by a chain of sta
tions beginning from the ocean shore.
We accepted the latter as the will OF
the Savior. We were unavOidably de-
tanned in LOanda, 50 that it was not
until the 10Th of May that | and five Of
our party started for the interior to Sc
lect and open mission stations for
those who awaited our call to follow.
one of our party died, and nine, in
Guiding four little children, returned
to the United States: by September l
all the rest were settled in their new
homes and fields of labor. extending in
land by the line of travel 800 miles.
The first station established was st.
Paul de Loanda, where a school was at
once opened in the Portuguese Ian
guage which from the beginning gave
a support for the teachers engaged in
it. We have since bought a beautiful
site there, near the largest native town,
and built a large two-story house for
residences. church and school Loanda
is said to contain a population of TO-
Geo, but few hundred of whom are
Portuguese and the great mass of them
negroes.
Our second station is at Dondo, 24O

Gov. Taft and His Party Pay a
Farewell Visit to the
Vatican.

tended for the President-De-
tails of the Call.

Rome, July 22.-The pope received
Governor Taft and the members of his
party in farewell audience yesterday.
The party of United States officials
drove in two carriages from their ho-
tel to the Vatican. Judge Taft and
Judge Smith wore evening dress, as
prescribed by etiquette; Major Porter
was in full uniform, and Bishop O'Gor-
man wore ecclesiastical robes. They
were received at the great door of the
Vatican by the Swiss guards, who rem
dered military honors. At the foot Of
the state staircase they were met by
Mgr. Bisleti. master of the ceremonies,
who was accompanied by several other
dignitarieS of the papal court At the
door of the pontitical apartments the
noble guards and gend'armes rendered
the customary honors.
Pope Meets Them Half Way.
The United StateSans We're ushered
into the private library, and so soon as
the door was opened the pope went
half way TO meet them and greeted
Governor Taft with the greatest cor
diality. The pontiff commenced the in
terview by saying he was most salts
fled and happy at the results obtained,
and was confident that the henegotiatiOnS
would be the starting point of Il COM
plete and satisfactory solution of the
question under discussion. He added
that the apostolic delegate soon to be
appointed would be instructed most
strictly and precisely regarding carry
ing out the ideas determined upon be-
tween the United States and the Vati-
can. saying: Il will see that orders be
given him as to his work over which l
will watch personally
Thinks We Are an Example.
Turning the conversation the pope
expressed the highest esteem for Unit
ed States methods of treating church
matters. In fact he had more than
once pointed toward the United States
as setting an example well worth copy
ing. Governor Taft thanked the pope
for the prOmptneSS and courtesy shown
him during his visit and promised CO
operation with the apostolic delegate
in executing the business on the lines
agreed upon at Rome.

Both the Pope and Taft Agree on the U
truth of reports.

Both the Pope and Taft Agree on the I'm
truth of reports.
He expressed regret at the fact that
the negotiations had been made the
occasion of the circulation of false
and even caluminous reports in various
papers and by some telegraphic agen-
cies, which had given rise to unfavOr-
able comments upon the Vatican. The
pope also protested against such false
reports. but he emphatically declared
that by this time he was accustomed
to that kind of misrepresentation
The pontiff then rose with unusual
activity. walked with his guest TO the
opposite side OF the room and showed
them the mosaic which he is sending
to President Roosevelt in return for
the presidents present of box con-
tanning his CRoOSeVeltS) literary
works. The mosaic is n copy of Cor
ridi's well known picture of Pope Leo
sitting on the terrace of the Vatican
gardens surveying Rome. 1t was made
in the Vatican workshops. The pope
chen gave Bishop O'Gorman an auto
graph letter TO President Roosevelt
Members Of Governor Taft's party
asked the pope to bless several boxes
of roSaries and other religious memen-
toes which his holiness did most will
ingly. adding that his benediction was
extended to all their relations and
friends. After an audience of forty
minutes. in which the conversation
was carried on entirely in French,
Bishop O'Gorman and Major Porter
translating, the pope saw his guests
to the door of the library.
Governor Taft and his companions
then called on the papal secretary Of
state, Cardinal Rampolla, with whom
they exchanged somewhat similar
courtesieS. Later Governor Taft, ac-
companied by Judge Smith and Cap
tain Strother, lef, Rome for Naples.
