FOR LARGER ARMY PISTOL.
The President COnfers with Secretary Taft
and Col. Russell on the Subject.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2e.-During holiday
week the President ostensibly is receiving
no visitors on business and he will be alb
sent from Washington after to-day. Al
though it was announced that no visitors

welt spent several hours in his Office this

and Col Russell, acting chief of the Bureau
of Ordnance OF the Quartermaster' De-
partment. He wished to talk about the
calibre of the army pistol
There has been much discussion among
officers of the Ordnance Department on
this subject. The calibre of the weapon
now in use is OBS. II il argued that 0 45
should be used, as this weapor is much mora
effective in battle. Ii has been found
that in case OF a surprise from ambush by
natives in the Philippines machete in
the hands Of a Filipino has often done its
work after the man welding it had been
shot by an American soldier carrying one OF

JAPANESE IN HAWAII.
No Prejudice There Against Them. bu,

WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.-Frank p. Sargent,
Commissioner-Gener of immigration, who
went to Honolulu TO superintend the land
ing at that place Of a thousand or more
immigrants from Portugal, will submit
a report to the President in a day or 80.
1t develops on inquiry that there is no well
grounded prejudice in Hawaii against
the Japanese. The government of the
island is desirious of encouraging Euro
pean immigration in order to secure per-
manent settlers.
The Japs do not tarry long in Hawaii, :"
said Commissioner Sargent. Every vessel
landing at Pacific coast ports carries in
the steerage hundreds of Japanese immi-
grants.
1T is probably not generally known"
continued Commissioner Sargent, that
Japan discourages the immigration Of the
Mikado's subjects to the United States
The reason is this Japan believes that
material increase in the Japanese popula-
ton of the United States might create a
prejudice against them that would result
in a widespread demand in this country
for the enactment OF an exclusion law
against the Japanese such as was framed
against the Chinese The fear is expressed
