After Hard Drive Over st.

last night from Salt Lake, after max
ing the trip overland for the purpose
of sizing up the country, with view
of getting an idea as to the difficult
ties to be met in constructing the
line between Salt Lake and Ely.
The trip was made in Maxwell

ton for the company
The trip was made over st. Johns
pass, and by way of Deep Crek and
the Utah mine. The ride was an
exceptionally hard one for the pas
sengers.
The trip was made for the pur-
pose of getting an idea as to distances
and the difficulties that will have to
be met by the constr uction crews
"The cost of the line, If it is built,
will be enormous. 1t will cost lot
of money to put in the line. This
line is proposed as link in the third

pany, ending at San Francisco. If
the line is constructed, Ely will be

JAPANESE ASSN.
CLAIM CAUSE IS
RACE PREJUDICE
SYSTEMATIC ATTACKS BEING
MADE ON RESTAURANTS RUN
BY FOREIGNERS.
ASK FOR POLICE PROTECTION
Assert That 1t is Not the LabOring
Men That Are BOLhering Them,
but the LawleSs Element.

SAN FRANCISCO May 29.-The
Japanese association, composed of
leading Japanese residents, today
made the following statement of the
Japanese view of the recent assaults
committed against Japanese in this
city:
In the first place, the Japanese
residents of San Francisco recognize
the fact that present conditions in
this city make it very difficult for the
authorities to extend full protection.
They understand that the strike up
on the street railways puts heavy
tax upon the police force and that it
is impossible to guard all places at
all times against the lawless ele-
ments of the community.
They are fully convinced, how
ever, that much of the violence to
which they have been subjected is
due to racial prejudice and that the
attempts which are being made in
certain quarters to have 1t appear
that the trouble is confined to chance
quarrels between laboring men, incl
dentally involving the Japanese, are
without foundation.
I'm support of this view they di-
rect attention to the fact that the
Japanese restaurants have been sys-
tematically annoyed and many at
tackled. Hardly a day goes by, in
the territory south of Market street.
that some threatening demonstration
is not made by roughs and hoodlums
against Japanese places of business
in that quarter"
After giving a number of specific
instances of attacks ON Japanese res
taurants between May 10th and May
25th, the statement continues:
"The uniformity of these express
sions of hostility to Japanese citi-
zens precludes the idea that they are
accidental results of rows between
white laboring men They are en-
tirely distinct in character from the
acts of violence growing out of the
street car strike, where capital and
labor are at war. They are clearly
,cn expression of race prejudice, to
which the people of no other nation
ality are at present subjected.
"The Japanese residents of San
Francisco further insist that no pro-
vocation has been given or is being
given for these outrages. They are
peacefully engaged in lawful occupa-
tions, the right to which is guaran-
teed to them by treaty stipulations.
They believe that they are fully JUS
titled in protesting against acts which
place their property in jeopardy and
their lives in peril and they denounce
as unjust such public criticism as at
trihutac fhoir oomnl aintS tn mere
caprice.
"They simply desire that the true
facts of these assaults should be
placed before the American people,
believing implicitly in the fairness
and sense of justice of that tribunal.
'In the meantime they sincerely
regret the necessity of calling for
special police protection, but believe
1t wiser to make that demand now
rather than wait until some overt
action of the mob element shall pre-
cipitate more serious trouble and
possibly blOOdShed."

WHERE is MY WANDERING
PUPPY TONIGHT?

George Bloomfield has filed suit
in the court of Justice Cartwright
against Mrs Erstad to recover pos
session of bull pup, which he claims
TO own, and which she claims by
right of possession.
The bull pup is white, except for
pretty little brindle spot on each
side of his neck. His value, includ-
ing the valuation set on the spots, is
$25.
Bloomfield says that he rased the
dog from early infancy, or to be more
exact, from early puppyhood, and
feels greatly attached to him. The
pup Strayed away short time ago,
and found a happy home in the prem
ises occupied by Mrs ErStad.
Bloomfield missed the dog. Home
did not seem like home any more
when the pup failed to chew holes In
his masters Sunday shoes, and when
he no longer dragged bones into the
house and gnawed them on the parlor
carpet.
Bloomfield made search for the
pup and found him, he says, in the
possession of Mrs. Erstad. Bloom
field demanded the return of his dog
but the little fellow had won a
home" with his new mistress, and
she refused to give him up.
Now the tale of the dog will be
told in the court of Justice Cart
wright, and the question of his own
ership will be permanently decided.

CONDEMNATION OF
TERRORISM FAILS
TO PASS THE HOUSE

ST. PETERSBURG, May 29.-Ad-
vantage was taken today of the alb
sence of the conservative leaders In
the lower house of parliament to
bring up the resolution condemning
terrorism, and the house decided by a
vote of 219 to 146 to table indef-
nitely the whole discussion, which is
one of the most burning questions
before parliament. The constitutional
democrats, Poles, members of the
group of toll, and Cossacks, voted
against the resolution and the mon
archists, the OCtoberists, social DEM
ocrats and social revolutionists voted
in its favor
Deprived of their leading orators
the monarch lists made feeble show
ing and the debate, which was short,
ended without stormy incident.
The constitutional democrats did
ing business was clearly shown. Only
bovidoff, member of the group of
toll, proposed the resolution tabling
the motion to condemn terrorism, de-
claring that any action on the part
of the house would be useless as the
censure would be addressed to the
dead, as most of the terrorists names
were already inscribed In the book of
martyrs.
He asked il the government, with a
million bayonets was unable to cope
with terrorism of what avail would
be a simple resolution adopted by 500
deputies under the thumb of the ad-
ministration. M. Kapustin, October
list. said his party favored the aboli-
ton of the death penalty, martial
law, etc, but thought 1t was first
necessary for the house to express an
adherence of terrorism, and execu-
tion of officials without judge or a
jury.
Bishop Evlogi, monarchist, men,
ber from Lublin, also spoke against
terrorism.
Several prominent constitutional
democrats refused to vote with their
party
The effect of the new rule expedit-
ing business swas clearly shown. Onyl
two speakers on each side are now al
lowed to address the house on any
one question. The house therefore
disposed of all the Is questions on
the order of the day, among them be-
ing the adoption of the Interpolation
of the government on the holy syn
DDS action in demanding that five
liberal priests belonging to the left
parties of the house, who refrained
from attending the session of the
douma at which the resolution re-
garding the plot against the life OF
the emperor was passed. leave their
parties or abandon the priesthood.
