THINKS DIFFICULTY SOLVED


That the Dominion Government Will
Approve Japan's Scheme for ReguIa-
ton of immigration.
Toxic, Dec. 26.--Rodolph Lemieux,
Canadian minister of labor, who has
concluded his negotiations with the
Japanese government regarding the
regulation Of immigration to Canada,
said to the Associated Press;
MY lips are sealed on the subject
Any statement have to make belongs
first to the Dominion government. My
mission will be completed only after
my return to Ottawa. My colleagues
there will be In a position to fully dis
cuss and consider the whole question
in its various phases. l have every
reason to believe that a solution Of
the difficulty will soon be reached and
am pleased to say that my 'negotia-
tions with the Japanese foreign Office
were conducted in the friendliest
spirit. / return with nothing but the
The Associated Press is in a posi-
ton to state that the situation is
identical with it's previous forecast.
Mr.. LemieuX and Sir Claude MacDon-
aid, the British ambassador, fully
agreed with the terms of the mem
orandum whereunder the Japanese
government outline it's plans for the
future control of emigration, the an
nouncement of which will probably be
made when similar arrangement is
outlined to Mr.. Thomas J. O'Brien, the
American ambassador, who, it is un-
derstood, submitted a number of sug-
gestions from the American govern
ment for the consideration Of the for.
eign office. The suggestions, it is be-
lieved, largely served to guide the ar
rangement submitted to Canada
through Mr.. Lemieux and there is
reason to believe that the Japanese
government will soon submit to Am
bassador O'Brien the details of the
plan to control emigration to America,
which practically amount to the pre-
vention of all labor immigration.
The attitude of Mr.. Lemieux toward
the American ambassador has caused
much comment in diplomatic circles.
Lemieux entirely ignored the Amer
lean embassy and evidently preferred
not to discuss the matter with Ambas'
sador O'Brien. 1t is understood that
the foreign minister, Viscount Haya'
shi, throughout his conference with
Lemieux, consistently declined to sac,
rifce any treaty rights or to set any
limit on the number Of Japanese which
will be permitted to land in Canada
monthly.

END Of TRAGIC TRIP.
American Steamer Atlas Finally
Drops Anchor in Frisco.
VESSEL WAS LONG OVERDUE
Sunk Norwegian Bark Off Cape Horn,
Causing the Death of the Captain
and Wife-Sickness Death and Mu.
tiny Among the Crew During Voyage.

San Francisco, Dec. 26.-The Amer
lean ship Atlas has dropped anchor
here, 275 days out from Baltimore. 1t
ended a voyage made tragic by a col
lision off Cape Horn, attended by the
sinking of another vessel, the drown
ing of the i'll fated crafts captain and
the captains wife, mutiny on its own
decks and death among it's crew.
On June the Atlas struck the Nor
wegian bark Viking, Captain Peterson,
bound from Hamburg to Callao. Both
were badly damaged by the contact,
but the bark Jared worse. In the ter
ror of the night thirteen of the crew
of the Norwegian bark boarded the
American ship, but Captain Peterson
and his wife were not among those
who made the dangerous transit. 1t
was too dark to render aid, though the
Atlas stood by during the night and
next morning the Viking had disap-
peared.
The Atlas put into Rio de Janeiro
for repairs, leaking badly. On the
way to this port a mutiny took place
among the crew over some trouble
with the mate, but it was easily
quelled.
Before the collision off Cape Horn
three of the ships company met death
and when the ship arrived here the
captains son and the third officer were
i'll and the vessel was ordered into
quarantine
The Atlas had a cargo of coal for
the United States government. The
vessel had been 120 days out from Rio
Janeiro and was overdue.

New York, Dec. 26.-In almost every
known tongue 1000 immigrants
wished Merry Christmas to Miss
Helen Gould at Ellis island. Miss
Gould presided at the festivities which
followed a bOunteous dinner served to
the prospective citizens who happened
to be held at the immigrant station on
the island. There were several big
beautifully decorated Christmas trees
and each man, woman and child re-

only one, boy from Thibet, was not

prefers could tell what he said, but
Miss Gould understood the smile with
