SITUATION IS VERY GRAVE
Delicate Treatment Needed TO Avert
Open Rupture.


1t was stated by Il member of the
cabinet after the meeting that the
general opinion of the members was
that the Japanese situation was ex-
eeedingly grave, and would require the
most delicate treatment to avoid an
open rupture. Japanese restaurant
keepers have suffered indignities in
san Francisco as well as Japanese
school children, according to reports
received by the Japanese ambassador,
yiscount Aolli. from Japanese consular
officers in that city.
At least seven or eight reports have
been made concerning u boycott in
auguratcd against Japanese restaurants
In the California city. Agents have
been posted to prevent patrons from
entering the restaurants. and in sever
al instances stones have been thrown
ard windows broken. according to the
statements of Japanese officials. These
cases have been brought 10 the atten-
tion of Secretary Root by Viscount
Aoki, who says that it is with great
reluctance he brings to the attention
of the central government denonstra-
tons against Japanese which are pure
ly local in their nature.
When asked II complaints have
reached him from Japan m any other
part Of California outside OF San
Francisco. or from other Pacific coast
states, Viscomt Aoki replied that all
the trouble has been confined to the
one city. The ambassador has as
sured bis government that the out
break against the Japanese is purely
local. and he is much gratified at re-
ceiving dispatches which show that
the Japanese press is for the most part
attempting TO check the feeling against
the United States.
Metcalf left Washington this after
noon, and will proceed to San Fran
cisco with all possible dispatch Ev-
cry facility will be put at his COM
mand to make his investigation as
thorough as possible under the cir
cumstances, as the president is anxious
to have the inquiry conducted with all
possible expedition. in order to have
the results at hand without delay. The
inquiries TO be instituted by Metcalf
arc supplemental TO the steps initiated
at San Francisco by direction of the
/ department OF justice to compel the
/ authorities IN receive Japanese pupils
Into the public schools.

II TIE WORLD OF TRADE
Commercial Progress Not Checked by
Labor Unrest-iron Industry Con-
tinues To Be Prosperous.

New York. Oct pr. G. Dun s.
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:
Traffic delays high money and some
unrest in the ranks Of labor have not
checked commercial progress on the
whole, although in special industries
or localities the restraining influence
of these adverse factors are felt. Some
irregularities Of temperature also pro-
vide the week trade reports with less
uniformly glowing descriptions of re-
tail distribution Wage earners are
agitating for more pay or shorter
hours in several industries. especially
in the railway service. Already manu-
facturers and dealers are making plans
for the greatest business on record in
jewelry and other holiday lines.
A further advance of about 90 cents
per ton in the price of pig iron is the
best evidence of continued prosperity
in that industry. There is little specu-
lation beyond what might be called
legitimate provision for future needs.
This demand runs far into next year,
1t is true, but there is no reason to be-
lieve that any Of this forward bust
ness is placed with the expectation of
cancellation. Extension of facilities
continues in every department, one
plant for the manufacture of steel cars
alone being projected that will cover
800 acres.
Liabilities Of commercial failures
thus far reported for October amount
/ ed TO S74S5 434. of which So $40, 297
were in manufacturing, $2,279.715 in
trading and 1868, 422 in other Gem
mercial lines.

Jap Must Have His Rights.

Tho president feels that every effort
within the power Of the administration
should be eXerted to see that all the
treaty rights claimed by Japan for its
people residing in the United States
should be respected aud protected. The
determination to SEND Secretary Met
calf to San Francisco was one Of the
results of the request made by Wis
count -Aoki, the Japanese ambassador

Root asked in behalf of his govern
ncnt that the Japanese subjects in
California be accorded their full rights
under the treaty OF 1894, including that

long and earnest discussion at the cab

reached that the best thing to do was
to send Metcalf to California to secure
personally Sll the data which could
have any possible bearing OH the sit
uation. TIE dispatch Of q cabinet Off
Ger on such a mission, it was argued,

San Francisco, March 9.-The news
of a filing of a suit by the United
States government against a number
of elevator companies has caused
sensation in California and the West,
this being the first legal proceedings
of the kind ever instituted out here.
United States District Attorney Rob
ert Devlin, who brought the suit, said;
''The complaint is against the Otis
Elevator company and thirty other de-
PENDANTS, who are alleged to be in one
concern and operating contrary to the
provisions of the Sherman act. The
complaint was drawn up by me, but
is signed by United States Attorney
General Moody, all such actions orig
mating at Washington.
The action is based upon afidavits
of men who were formerly in the com
bine and who state that, while the de-
PENDANTS to the action are apparently
separate concerns, they in reality are
all under control of the Otis Elevator

WESTERN RAILROADS SAID TO
HAVE DECIDED ON voLuN-
TARY REDUCTION.
MEETING OF OFFICIALS AT CHICAGO
PROPOSED SLASH REPORTED TO
BE APPROXIMATELY FlF-
TEEN PER CENT.

Chicago, March 9.-Warned by the
agitation for government control of
rates Western railroads, according to
sne Record-H Herald, have decided to
make voluntary reductions in trans
portation charges, amounting in the
aggregate to many million dollars an
nually. Fhe proposed reductions are
to be made in all the rates of the six
classes into which freight is divided
and will be effective in the entire ter
ritory between the Atlantic seaboard
and Missouri river. In general the re-
ductions will amount to approximately
Is per cent.
The first step was taken in the
movement at meeting of the traffic
executive officials of all Western rail.
roads. The representative of the Chi
cago, Milwaukee and ST. Paul railroad
presented the proposition for reduc-
tions, which was favored by the Chi
cago, Burlington and Quincy railroad
Another conference" has been called
for next Tuesday, at which will be
present all of the important jobbers
in the Missouri river territory It is
now planned, after conference with
the iobbers, to determine a basis for
rates from the seaboard to the Mis-.
souri, river and then to make CORE
spending reductions in the rates from
Chicago to the Missouri and from the
Mississippi to the Missouri When
this is accomplished it is stated, re-
auctions will follow in the rates from
New York to Chicago.
The readiustment of rates in the
territory named will result in similar
action by other groups of railroads -
that the move of the Western rail
roads bids fair to be farreaching and
to have an important bearing on fu-
ture relations between the railroads
and the public.

Resistance.
Washington, March 9.-Clean paper
money was the subject of hearing
before the house committee on bank
ing and currency during the day. Rep
resentative Gaines of Tennessee said
the high charges of express companies
for shipping paper money prevent
banks from sending dirty money to the
United States treasury for reissuance.
He urged that his bill for the shipment
of dirty money by mail, without cost
TO the shipper, be passed. Mr.. Gaines
said President Roosevelt asked him
few days ago about the clean money
bills and said he is anxious to have a
measure passed to keep the govern
ment's paper money clean. He also
said Secretary Shaw is much interest
ed in keeping paper money clean. 1t
was urged by Mr. Gaines that at pres
ent much of the government paper

large rebates on the transportation OF
sugar had been given to the American
Sugar Refining company by the trunk
lines of railroads running out of New
York city and asked me if the depart
ment of justice desired TO use the in
formation in legal proceedings An
examination Of the matter showed
clearly that it was highly important
and tended to show the giving and
receiving of large rebates. The sub
ject was then brought to the attention
of Mr.. Stimson, who had been select
ed by the president as district attor
York.
Following this, on Feb. /. which
was the date of Mr.. Stimsons taking
office, a conference was had in New

the evidence was gone over with very

sible expedition.

information was furnished the depart
ment by the representative of the
American the department had no
knowledge or suspicion of the facts
and that the representatives of that
paper have aided the officials OF the
