The treaty which is to be arranged

United States and American laborers
excluded from Japan ought to salts
fy California and everybody else on
this side of the Pacific. BY the cen
sus OF 1890 little over $4,000 Japan

but this number had increased to &c.
g6o In 1900. The war of 1904-5 with
hnnia diminished Japanese immigra-
the inflow since then has not been in
quite such large volume as II was i'm
mediately before. But Japanese are
coming in a little faster than the peo.
pie of the Pacific coast like. From
present indications Hawaii is being
overrun by them. Californians say
their state has 10000 Japanese today.
This looks like an exaggeration. It
places more Japanese there than
there are Chinese. The Chinese in the
United States numbered 10000 In
1890 and 10000 in 1900. Probably
the number is down to 10000 or l12,-
900 in these closing days of 1906. The
Japanese. on the other hand, are in
creasing. and very likely the num-
ber In the United States today. not
withstanding the practical inflow dur
ing the Manchurian war, is in the
neighborhood of 100000. 1t is hardly
reasonable to suppose that half OF
this number. or anything like half.
