WASHINGTON. D. c., June 19.--Dis-
patches from the Far East indicating
that Japan has ordered American and
European shopkeepers from Port Arthur
have created something Of furry here.
Beyond the mere statements that the
act was done. no information can be
had. 1t is said hero that it cannot DO
imagined upon what grounds foreign MGR
chants of friendly powers can be thus
summarily dealt with. and that 1t will
likely be the subject of considerable
Diplomatic correspondence.
In this connection. it may be said
that there arc some who sec an interest
ed motive in the Washington attitude
for peace. 1t is known that Washing
ton has recently been showing an In
clination to interpret the Chinese eX-
clusion laws more literally. This grows
out of the discrimination of the Chinese
people to boycott .Aliierican trade IN
less some relief be given. 1t is said
that Japan will insist on the integrity
OF China as one OF the conditions of
peace. It will naturally follow that
China will yield much In the way Of
favors TO the Japanese With Japanese
friendship growing out of the peace pro-
posals from Washington, 1t is logical
to conclude that through Japan America
will have more OF an open door in
China than she has ever had before.
In other words there are those who
believe it was as much of q stroke of
policy as disinterestehness in the Pres
ident to move for peace It meant prob

The Light Committee last night de-

From those who are intimate with the

gas to consumers at rs centD instead OF

dispatches, Japan will not ask for an

Practically no other new developments
were observable to-day in the negotia-

Japan. President Roosevelt for a day
or two has been deeply enErcssed In,
o.hcrsmatters and. while he has not for
