SNAG FOR JAP TREATY.
Senate Will Not Allow Distinction in
American Citizens.

Washington, Feb. 5. - Special
President Roosevelt's plan for ami
cably adjusting all differences between
the United States and Japan, with q
view to excluding coolies, is doomed
to certain failure. He will never be
able to obtain the ratification OF a
treaty barring American workingmen
from Japan.
The president has made his calcu-
lations on the theory that as no Amerl-
can laborers go to Japan there Will be
no objection to having a clause insert
ed in a treaty providing for their ex-
clusion This will be reciprocal for
the exclusion of Japanese coolies.
1t has already become evident that
the senate will refuse to approve any
convention in which distinctions be-
tween American citizens are made.
