From Washington.
correspondence Of the Alexandria Gazette

Washington, Oct. 80.
Pending full report of the anti.
Japanese agitation in California and
more particularly in the city of San
Francisco, the United States government
will take no further move to comtat the
ouiburst of feeling in japan against this
country. 1t was learned today that Sec
rotary of Commerce and Labor Metcaii
has been instructed by the President,
among other things. TO ascertain definite
ly if japanese children have been ex-
cluded from the San Francisco schools,
~ clsmed in Japan, or whether there
has simply been an application of the
aye limit for admission to the public
schools which has prevented the attend
ance of Japanese youths of twenty
or more years. The State Department,
while still much concerned over the sud-
den dislike for America which has de-
veloped among the Japanese people. is
inclined to believe that the troubles be-
tween the two countries will fiud sstis.
factory adjustment which will lead to a
return to those friendly feelings which
have animated the people of the two
countries in the past. 1t has been sug-
gesled that Great Britsin being anxious
10 strengthen her position in the
far East, is responsible for the
an,i.American outburst in Japan
which this. government has, it is
thought, successfully overcome by the
strenuous sction taken to show that the
insults shown the Japenese were con-
fined to one State and did not, in the
slightest degree, receive support from
The Federal Government.
Disgust mixed with amusement was
che feeling shown by officials of the
state Department today when their al
iention was called to what they character
ize the remarkable speech made ia Ber-
liu las! Saturday by Prof. Burgess OF
Columbia University, who ia the first
incumbent of the Theodore Roosevelt
professorship of American history at
The University of Berlin, Germany.
The statements made by Prof. Burgess
that high protective tariff and the Moa-
roe doctrine are obsolete in this country
are stigmstized as cansrds manufactured
by Prof. Burgess without any authority
from any one connected with the Ameri'
Gao government. 1t was declared at the
State Department to day by high Off
cials that the Monroe doctrine was not
Ouly not obsolete, but was even more
than ever one of the fundamental princj-
Piles of the United States government
aud one which it was the intention OF
this country to uphold always While
the President it is said is doing his Ut
most to encourage friendly relations be-
tween the United States and Germany
there is authority for the statement that
he will not stand for the remarks made
on Saturday last is Berlin by Prof
Burgess.

leave tomorrow for Pine Knob, the Vir-
ginia cottage belonging to Mrs. Roose-

TUESDAY EVENING. OCT. 80. 1906.

INSPECTOR GENERAL DARLINGTON,
of the army, has recommended that three
com panies of the Twenty-ffth Infantry,
a colored regiment, be disbsnded and
thai every enlisted man be discharged
from the service without honor for de-
cliuing to give the names of those mem
beers of the command who conducted
themselves in a riotous manner at Browns
vile, Tex, last August. 1t is under
stood that the recommendation OF Gen.
Darlington passed through secretar!
Taft's hands without definite indorse'
ment, and it is more than probable the
President will take no action until after
November 8-for political reasons.
