WASHINGTON. Dec 1s---InsistinS
of the land and reiteratins his threat
to use the military IL necessary to pro-
tect the San Francisco Japanese in
their rights under treaty, the Pres
ident transmitted Secretary Metcalrs
special report on the San Francisco
situation to Congress to-day.
The letter OF transmitta1 and the re-
port deal with three subjects-the seq
regation OF Japanese pupils. boycotting
of Japanese restaurants and acts of
violence committed against Japanese
in San Francisco. Touching the school
question. the President says there
would be no objection to excluding
Japanese pupils because OF their age;
and a detailed tabulated statement.
made part of the report. shows that
very small proportion OF the foreign
born Japanese pupils enrolled at the
San Francisco schools are OF an age
corresponding either with white chill
dren in those grades or with the ma
tive-born Japanese children The let
ter also advises Congress that steps
have been taken to test the constftu-
tionality Of the action OF the san
Francisco School Board. The Pres
ident expresses a hope that the dsois-
lon OF the courts will. however. not
be necessary. and that the people OF
San Francisco will permit the Japanese
youths to secure sducations.
The school question is subordinatsd
to boycotting and assaults upon Jap
anese. Secretary Metcalrs report
states that Japanese restaurant keep
ers. falling to secure police protection.

bribe the boycotters to dssist- The
payment, according 70 the report. was
made by check to one W. 8. Stevenson.
and 1t apparently served its purpose.
The report also includes detailed state
ments by nineteen Japanese. rscffing
the circumstances Of assaults upon
them The japanese and Korean Ex-
clusion League is blamed FOR noting
the trouble and for urging organised
labor to take concerted action against
the Japanese.
Letter of Transrrlitta1
To the Senate and House Of Repre-
sentatives<
inc1ose herewith for your informa-
tion the final report made TO me per-
sonally by Secretary Mstcalf on tho
situation affecting the Japanese IA San
Francisco The report deals with three
matters Of controversy-nrst. the sx-
clusion OF the Japanese children from
the San Francisco schools second. the
boycotttng OF Japanese restaurants.
and. third, acts of violence committed
against the Japanese
AZ to the nrst matter. I call your
especial attention to the very small
number Of Japanese children who at
tend schools. to the testimony as to
the brightness. cleanliness and good
behavior of these Japanese children In
the schools. and to the fact that. owing
to their being scattered throughout the
city, the requirement for them all to
go to one special school Is impossible
of fulfillment and means that they can
not have school facilities Let me
point out further that there would be
no objection whatever to excluding
from the schools any Japanese on the
score Of age 1t Is obviously not de-

last night killed Pearl Wheaton,
his sweetheart, fatally wounded
her mother Mrs. f. M. Wheaton,

mother then tried to seize him and

Styer then dashed up the stairs

THE annual
n. RECEPTION
A dfdRd Event, Pulled Off With The
Usual Good Management.
Big time FOR The Blenders.

q" The annual New Years recep-
Ion has come and gone, and the
people of our city are now settling
down to carry out the good resolu-
tons formed, and to make the
year 1905, as was its predecessor,
a record breaker.
With one or two exceptions the
same gentlemen had charge of the
entertainment this year as in the
past, and as usual they wont the
admiration and good words of all
by the successful manner in which
the affair was conducted. The
decorations were much different
from former years and were fine.
The refreshments we're also ex-
celleht.o and the music up to the
standard. The decorations consisted
OF white and green stripes of
tissue paper leading from the
sides, meeting at the ceiling in
the center of the room, making a
beautiful effect. As formerly,
carnations were presented to the
ladies'. and everything done to
make everyone feel at home and
have a good time.
nthe afternoon the people we're
entertained with music, cards, and
other games, and in the evening
the principal attraction was the
dancing, some of the older crowd
taking as much enjoyment in the
art as the younger ones, as they
had a right to do.
About three hundred were SER
we'd in the afternoon, and about
three hundred and fifty in the
evening. The reception was fully
up to the standard, and the gentle
men are to be congratulated.
Mistakes may have been made,
and some persons overlooked, but
if you have ever gone through the
mill, you will know how easy it
would be to do that.

Secrets Of the Grave.

The Hays City Republican Of
last week says:
During the exhumation of the
bodies at the old Fort Hays GENE
terry, a number of strange things
were brought to light. In one
grave the body Of a negro was
found with his hands folded
across his breast and fastened on
each hand were a set of brass
knuckles. 1t is likely that the man
was killed while attempting to use
the deadly knucks on a fellow be.
ing, and was buried dressed as he
fell. On opening up the grave of
Adolph Broman of Co. &C." 9Th
U. S. Cavalry, :. it was found
that the remains had all gone to
dust except the hair, and both
feet which were encased in a pair
of low boots with very high heels.
The stockings were of the usual
army kind and extended above tops
of boots some inches, and strange
to say, were as bright and fresh
looking as if just taken from the
store but yesterday. In another
grave the body was found lying
on its face with the arms and
limbs drawn up as if in agony.
The hair of all the bodies ex-
humed, except those of negroes,
was found to have turned to a deep
reddish color, supposed to have
been caused from the action Of the
clay or earth in the cemetery.
There were a number of other odd
conditions reported by the mens
employed in digging up the
bodies.

THE PROFESSION OF KILLING
Hallng In The Military Schools Has
This End In View.

For several weeks the news
papers have been discussing SOME
more of the brutalities of the mill.
tary and naval schools. This was
brought out by the death of "a cadet
at the naval academy as the result
of a fist fight. Two or three years
ago the country was reused by a
similar occurrence at West Point.
But these things do not shock any
of the military men. 1t is charged
and scarcely denied that the su-
pcrior officers at the schools toler..
ated these brutal fights. This.last
death, it appears, came to a bully,
but the other came to weakly
