MORE JAPANESE CONE IN.
Great Increase in immigration During
Past Month.

Washington, Nov. 16.-While immi-
grafton to America from all countries
showed during October a considerable
increase, being 20 per cent greater than
in October, 1905, and ~ per cent
greater than October, 1906, the increase
in immigration from Japan was greater
than has been shown in any one month
in the history OF the immigration serv-
ice. The restrictive regulations
operating against the japanese and Co.
reans have been in folce about seven
months, but Notwithstanding this the
immigration of japanese constantly
has increased during that period
The official returns show that during
October, 1906, before the restrictive
regulations were thought of, the num-
ber of japanese who arrived in this
country was G84. During October cf
this year the number, not counting
scores who were smuggled across the
tanadian and Mexican borders, was -
6l6, an increase OF about 250 per cent.
While the increase in japanese i'm
is not particularly alarming
in the minds of officials of the govern
ment, because the percentage of Japan
ese immigrants is not large, it has been
sufficient to create comment. No state
ment concerning the matter, however,
can be obtained from any responsible
official of the department of commerce.

JUDGE WiCKERSHAM TELLS.
Explains Reason for UnfriendIiness Of
Governor Hoggatt.

Seattle, Nov. ia special from
Fairbanks to the -Intelligencer says
"The Wickersham letter of resigna-
tion was made public in the News of
Tuesday. One of the principal reasons
for the resignation is the enmity of
Governor Hoggatt. The letter says:
AT the recent term of court held at
Juneau, on special request of the attorn-
ey general, | had the misfortune to de-
eide an important case involving the
case of young lawyer in a way contra
ry to Governor Hoggatt's views. There
upon the governor withdrew the friend
ship, which highly valued, and criti-
cized me, so that the loss of his conf
dence became publicly known. His
views were unjust and presumptuous,
but his opposition and his refusal to
support the court added greatly to my
burden
president Roosevelt, in reply to the
letter Of resignation, says the resigna-
tion is accepted with regret"

ISSUE CANAL BONDS.
CorteIyou Announces Plan to Relieve
Financial Situation.

Washington, Nov. 10. - Secretary
Cortelyou has made the important an.
nouncement that as a means Of afford.
ing relief to the financial situation, the
treasury would issue $50, 900, 900 OF
Panama bonds and 500, ,000,000 certi.
ticates Of Indebtedness, or so much
thereof as may be necessary. The GER
tifcates will run for one year, and will
bear 3 per cent interest.
The secretary's action in coming to
the relief of the financial situation
meets with President Roosevelt s
hearty approval, and the plan is the
outcome of the several White House
conferences which have been he Id with
in the last few days, when the financial
situation was under consideration.
Secretary Cortelyou says that the
Panama bonds will afford substantial
relief, as the law provides that they
may be used as basis for additional
national bank circulation. He also
states that the proceeds from the sale
of certificates can be made directly
available at points where the need is
most urgent. and especially for the
of crops, which he says, "if
properly accelerated. will give the
greatest relief and result in the most
immediate financial returns"
The secretary calls attention to the
attractiveness of the bonds and certit-
Gates as absolutely safesinvestments.
Secretary Cortelyou adds that these re-
lief measures will enable him to meet
public expenditures without withdraw
ing for that purpose any appreciable
amount of the public moneys now de-
posted in national banks throughout
the country.

NEWS ITEMS OF GENERAL INTEREST
FROM THE STATE OF OREGON
ELLIS APPEALS FOR SETTLERS
Asks Secretary of Interior to Permit
Land Proofs Without PAYMENT.

Pendleton-As an emergency request
on behalf of several hundred entrymen
in Eastern Oregon. who have advertis-
ed to prove up on their claims, whose
time has expired and who must now
present proof and make payment at the
land Office in this district within the
next few weeks, Congressman W. R..
Ellis has sent message to James R.
Garfield, secretary of the interior, ask
ing him to permit the advertised proofs
to be made without payment and to al
low go days for the making Of pay
ments.
Owing to thep resent financial condi-
tions and the continued holidays, it
will be impossible for many of the en-
trymen to make their payments at this
time, and it is feared that an endless
amount of litigation, red tape, loss of
time and in many instances loss of land
rights, will result if the government in
sists on payments at once.

MEANS BREAK WITH JAPAN.
Policy Pursued In Far East Distaste
fuI to Great Britain.

Pekin, Nov. 19.-The speech deliv-
cred at Kobe by Count Okuma, who
was at one time head of the Progressive
party in Japan, in which he declared
that Japan would sorely disappont the
people Of India as we'll as ignore the
opportunities given by heaven if she
failed to afford protection to the mil
lions Of Indians now being oppressed
by Europe, has caused great excitement
among the British newspapers publish
ed in Northern China. In this section
of tie empire the japanese expansion
movement is interfering greatly with
British interests, and there i open
warfare between Japanese and British
merchants.
Since last May Englishmen have
been the leaders in the ant. Japanese
campaign in Pekin and Tientsin. The
Times, which is the principal British
organ in North China, gives expression
to the 'deep-seated, smouldering
WRATH of Britons in the Far East and
accepts Count Okuma's words as ma
tional expression.
The pro-Japanese British'press in the
South of China has recently indicated
its purpose Of fighting the Japanese,
"whose operations" it is declared,
"now conflict with those of Great Brit
ain from the Yangtse to Manchuria. -

TARIFF REVISION
BY COMMISSION
Action Likely to Be Taken at Next
Session of Congress.
Commission to Be Appointed at the
Coming Session and the Following
Congress to Pass the Biii-Pian is
Favored by President-Bevefidge
Will Introduce Bill.

Washington, Nov. 16.-One of the
most promising signs is that the next
congress will seriously take up the
matter of tariff revision. Although it
is an utter impossibility to state at the
present moment what action will be
taken by congress, dominated, as il is,
by men Of high tariff belief, it would
seem that the appointment of COM
mission would soothe the feelings Of
the revisionists in Massachusetts, Wis
consin and other states and would keep
them in line with the rest of the party
for the earnest support of the next pres
idential ticket.
Word has come to the capital that it
is the intention of Senator Beveridge,
of Indiana, to introduce bill for the
appointment Of commission whose
duty it shall be to study the schedules,
with care and be prepared to advise
congress on the matter OF revision.
Many Republicans of the saner
thought never have been able to under
stand why the tariff should be purely a
political issue. These men are not
"stand patters," nor are they free trad
ers. They believe that, if politics could
be laid aside, the tariff might be ad-
justed 30 that the vast majority of
Americans. consumers and manufac-
turers, might be benefited and that in
the revision there would be found the,
germ Of political peace.
There is suspicion in Washington
that President Roosevelt may recon-
mend the appointment Of a tariff COM
mission in his next message. 1t goes
also without saying that Mr.. Beveridge
must have consulted Mr.. Roosevelt
about the measure which it is believed
to be the senator's intention to intro
duce. AS matter of fact, the presi--
dent stands committed to such a com.
mission. Probably the matter has been
forgotten by the public, but in speech
delivered in Indiana September 3,
1902, Mr. Roosevelt advocated the.
forming Of such commission.
