WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-A long re-
port has been received by immigration
Commissioner Sargent from Commits
sioner North at San Francisco regard
ing the 434 Japanese immigrants who
arrived there on the steamer Korea
from Honolulu.
1t disclosed among other things that
number of the immigrants were those
who originally had gone to Hawaii as a
result of the work of the immigration
societies in Japan inducing their immi-
grafton When evidence Is obtained to
the effect that such is the case the i'm
migrants are not allowed to land
Further information bearing upon the
arrivals on the Korea is awaited by the

ship 100 had left Japan as late as De-
cember and 366 of them had departed
from that country for Hawaii during

examination made of seventeen whose
cases he thought should be looked into,
and thirteen of them were found to be
contract laborers. One hundred and
siXty-two of the Japanese said they
were going to work for a railroad, but

on their arrival at Honolulu they are
met by labor agents from the main land
who offer them higher wages than they
were promised to come to san Fran

Representative Kahn Pays Tribute to
American Insurance Companies for
Prompt Payment Of San
Francisco Losses
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON Jan. 25-Resolu-
tions to check naval officers from
'lighting a fire under senators and
members of the house to compel the
enactment of the naval personnel bill
at this session" were presented in the
senate today by Mr.. Hale, and after
causing a snappy debate of short
duration went over for future con-
sideration.
Mr.. Hale's resolution cites the pres
idents order forbidding government
employees to "lobby" and directs an
inquiry by the secretary of the navy
to ascertain whether the order is be-
ing violated.
The urgency deficiency bill, carrying
S279. 900 as it came from the house and
authorizing by q senate amendment
q loan of S1,000,000 to the Jamestown
Exposition company, was passed. The
latter part of the day was devoted to
the disposition of pension bills.
The house passed a number Of bills
of a local nature, including $50 private
pension bills. The agricultural appro-
priation bill was taken up.
Representative Kahn of California
addressed the house on the manner
in which the fire insurance companies
had settled their losses growing out of
the fire and earthquake at San Fran
cisco.
He said that at the time of the fire
118 companies had policies on prop
erty in the devastated district, all of
which were American except thirty,
and that of the foreign companies
seventeen were English, six German,
two Scottish and Canadian and one
each in Asutria, Sweden and New Zea-
land.
Most of the American companies had
paid their losses in full, he said, with
the result of the depletion of their
capital and in several cases of insol-
vency
He paid a compliment to the English
companies and most of the American
companies, but said that the foreign
companies. other than English, had en-
deavored to repudiate their obligations,
and most of them have succeeded in
doing So
In the case of the German and Aus
trian companies, however, through the
action of the German courts, the good
offices of the state department, he
said, the insured probably will receive
settlement of so cents on the dollar,
or over.
mot one of the six German companies
doing business in San Francisco prior
to the fire paid the policies at 100
cents on the dollar" said Mr.. Kahn.
"'This is in marked contrast to the
seventeen English companies writing
business in that city, for most of the
latter paid their obligations in full.
Three of the German companies had
Immediately after the fire denied all
liabilities and withdrawn from the
state. Up to the present time these
companies have not paid u dollar on
their policies in that city"

PUSH DENATURED
ALCOHOL MEASURE
Compromise Bill Agreed on by House
Committee Postpones Action of
Law Until September
1, 1908
By Associated Press.


WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-The COM
promised denatured alcohol bill agreed
on by the house committee on ways
and means carried a provision that the
measure shall not become effective
until after September i, 1908. This
date was fixed at the request of Com
missioner of Internal Revenue Yerkes,
for the purpose of granting him ade-
quate time to prepare regulations for
the manufacture of alcohol by small
manufacturers not connected with dis
tilleries.
Representatives Hill and Marshall
and other members who have been
active in getting a measure prepared
which will enable small manufacturers
to make denatured alcohol were anxi-
Gus to have the present law amended
Immediately, but the treasury depart
ment insisted that time must be had
to frame regulations under which
locked stills and tanks may be used
by farmers desiring to make alcohol
in small plants.
The present law removing all inter-
nal revenue tax from denatured alco-
hol permits only distilleries and fac
tories having large denaturing ware
houses to engage in the manufacture
of alcohol designed for fuel and light
ing purposes, and the bill just reported
by the house committee is designed
to permit farmers to convert their
product into alcohol.

President Rejects Proposal of Con-
tractors to Build lsthmian Water
way on Ground of Unsatis-
factory References
By Associated Press.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-After an
extended conference at The White
House tonight it was decided to reject
the bid of Oliver & Bangs who pro-
posed to complete the construction of
the Panama canal for SIS per cent of
the total estimated cost, in so far as
Arson NJ. Bangs of New York city is
concerned.
While no official statement was given
out at the White House it can be au-
thoritatively stated that if William j.
Oliver of Knoxville Tenn, can enter
into a satisfactory arrangement with
some other contractor who is financial
ly responsible he will be given the con-
tract for the construction of the canal.
The fact that the MCArthur-G Gillespie
company of New York, whose bid for
the construction of the canal was 12.5
per cent, were represented at the con-
ference leads many of the interested
parties to believe that q combination
may be formed between that firm and
Mr.. Oliver.
1t is known thta the Macarthur Gill
lespie syndicate has convinced Presi-
dent Roosevelt and Secretary Taft of
it's financial responsibility and after a
most thorough investigation the canal
commission have expressed satisfaction
that Mr.. Oliver is able to carry out his
end of the agreement.
There would have been no question
as to awarding the contract to oliver
& Bangs had the credentials presented
by Mr.. Bangs proved as satisfactory
TO the officials as those furnished by
Mr.. oliver.
The decision reached at the White
House, however, means that Mr.. oliver
will be given chance to take some
other contractor into partnership with
him whose finarcial responsibility
meets the satisfaction of the govern
ment. The canal commission with this
requirement met will not undertake to
dictate to him who this contractor shall
be.
The question of rejecting Gll bids was
discussed at the cabinet meeting today
and this decision had been practically
agreed upon before the conference to-
night. Secretary Taft tomorrow will
made known to Mr.. Oliver the decision
and if arrangements are satisfactory
to Mr.. Oliver he will probably be given
several days in which TO arrange an
agreement with the Macarthur Gillespie
company os some other contractor who
can deposit the required cash security.
If Mr. Oliver refuses to consider the
contract after the rejection of Mr..
Bangs the commission will call for new
bids.

CZAR TAKES FIRST STEP
IN NAVY REORGANIZATION
By Associated Press.

by Associated HTeSS.
ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 25.-The
first step In the proposed internal re-
organization of the Russian navy was
taken today by the issuing of a ukase
which reverses the system of decen-
tralzation that has existed for the last
ten years and concentrates the power
and responsibility for the direction of
the feet in the hands of the minister
of marine.
Under the new order Admiral Dikcff
who was appointed a few days ago as
commander in chief of the fleet. be-
comes virtually the commanding ad-
miral and is in direct charge of all
ships.
This new policy is a complete change
from that pursued when Grand Duke
Alexis headed the navy. Then the
acting minister was mere civil func-
tionary, and the handling of the navy
proper was entrusted to the naval
chief of staff.
