ip..
Shin Nippon, in last Tuesdays issue
reported that the agents Of various
steamship companies in this city. head
ed by ii. Hackfeld & Co, positively de-
cAned to sell passage tickets for the
coast to the Japanese labOrers When
pressed for the reason for this extra
ordinary action, Shin Nippon went on
to say. the head man in the steamship
agency of II. ii. Co advanced most
ridiculous plea that the agents had an
order from the Japanese consul not to
sell any tickets for the coast to the
Japanese laborers, unless they We're
provided with the passport certificate
signed and issued by the consul.
Since the publication of the above
report the feeling of Indignation and
absurdity was felt among the better
class Of the Japanese residents, while
that of surprise, anger and disappoint-
ment took hold of the more ignorant
class. and as a result it is reported
that many of them have returned to
their old places, which they had left
only recently with avowed intention Of
seeking better fortune in the States.
Mr.. Saito, the consul, when inter
viewed yesterday by our reporter on
the subject, most emphatically dis
claimed that he had ever given such an
order He called it an Infamous mis-
statement on its face, since he had no
such authority. All he knew about the
AFFAIR was that there had lately been
several laborers applying for his pass
ports for travelling to the mainland,
which he, of course, refused to issue,
Knowing there was no necessity for
such documents for them to travel from
here to the coast. In the course of
further conversation Mr.. Saito express
ed his great regret at seeing so many
of the immigrants leaving the places
where they were welcomed, to invade
places where most likely they would
sooner or later meet some difficulty
coming In contact with the white la
borers.
