Diary between the United States and

Angry at Exclusion.
The reports which have reached
here regarding the attitude of the Jap
anese who are being turned back at
the borders are disquieting, to say the
least. 1t was natural to expect that
the first immigrants to be turned back
would resent their exclusion and
would complain ut once to the Japa
nese ambassador. Most of them left
long before the exclusion order was
put into effect
Clashes Are Common.
There are daily clashes at the from.

Japs Are Boastfui.
Now immigration officers complain
that Japanese arrivals taunt them
with cowardice and try to provoke
them into the use of violence or bad
language for the express purpose OF
securing their removal from the serv.
ice. AT any rate. japanese arrivals
at almost every port are provoking
immigration officers to a condition OF
downright fury, and there is great
fear that serious clash may result.
Many of them undoubtedly are bellig.
erent. They talk in boastful way to
the immigration officers and when
turned back at the border announce
they will come in some day whether
we want them or not.

Der of the Dawes Indian commission
in Indian Territory, has again been
indicated. He is advised by Secre'
tary Garfield that the charges made
against him have been dismissed.
Mr.. Bixby has been many times un
der fire during his long and interest
ing career as a commissioner OF the
Five Civilized Tribes in Indian Terri
tory, and many of the charges made
against him would have resulted seri-
ously IL they had been ,substantiated-
In every crisis, however, Mr.. Bixby,
has been able to confound his enemies
and come out with flying colors.
The latest charges filed against Mt.
Bixby were brought to the attention
of the interior department last fall
Allegations were filed by Marshall
Mott, attorney of the Creek Indians.
that Bixby had used his official posi-
ton to obtain bargains in town lots
from the townsite commission. and
that Bixby had given a trust company
In Muskogee, in which he was sup
posed to hold stock, inside tips ON the
allotment work by the commission.
whereby the trust company made
large sums of money in land deals.
Attorney Mott claimed to have evi.
dence supporting these charges. and
the matter was laid before the depart
ment o. justice. It appears, however.
that Motifs evidence did not support
the charges he made.
