POLITICAL AGITATION

Washington. June Il, Secretary Root to-day positively declined to make any statement respecting the Japanese situation This was done with the full knowledge of the uneaslness which exists in financial circles, as the result of circulation of war rumors.
 It may be said. however, that the sec retary's refusal was based solely on his unwillingness to accord the rumors of ficial notice. and not upon any belief on his part that there is the least dan ger of war, or even of breach of the. friendly relations that now exist be- tween America and Japan. The fact is that in the official mind the present agitation is nothing more than the working of internal Japanese politics a strenuous opposition party in Japan in seeking for weapons to attack the party in power is appealing to the pop ulace and to the pride of the Japanese to affront the United States. The ground of complaint, 1t is stated here, might easily be made popular in view of the over population of Japan, and the demand for admission into foreign countries of the coolie class. Tn view, however, of the assurances that have been conveyed to the officials here that Count okuma's party in Japan (which Is behind the present agitationl is not likely to secure control of the govern ment in the immediate future, not much apprehension is felt here. The situation was summed up by very high ofFicia! to-day in the following response to the question as to what could be said to allay the uneasiness in this country:
 If the administration has any fear of trouble with Japan growing out of the disturbance in San Francisco. no responsible official is willing to admit it. On the country state department officials profess to feel that everthing will come out all right, anl that the situation between the two countries will gradually become normal That Japan has made no complaint to the United States was the statement made most day; there Is no trouble between the two countries. and there Is no danger of war.
 "The greatest fear Is from the agita- ton carried on by certain newspapers in both countries and from this off, cials admit there is constant danger. Aside from this officials will not admit there is any thing which cannot be ad- justed in the ordinary diplomatic way"
