RACE HATRED
CAUSE OF ROW
Japs in San Francisco Give Their
Side Of Recent Trouble.
A STATEMENT is ISSUED
HOodlums of the City Make Systematic
Attacks without Provocation-Special
Police Protection is Asked.

A San Francisco special says. The
Japanese association, composed of
leading Japanese residents, Wednes.
day made the following statement Of
the Japanese view of recent assaults
committed against the Japanese in the
city:
In the first place, the Japanese
residents Of San Francisco realize the
fact that the present conditions in
this city make it very difficult for the
authorities to extend full protection.
They understand that the strike upon
the street railways puts a heavy tax
upon the police force, and that it
is impossible to guard all places at
all times against the laWless element
of the community.
"They are fully convinced, however,
that much Of the violence to which
they had been subjected is due to ra-
cial prejudice, and that the attempts
which are being made in certain
quarters to have it appear that the
trouble is confined to quarrels between
laboring men, incidentally involving
the Japanese, are without foundation.
In support of this view, they d.
rect attention to the fact that the
Japanese restaurants have been sys-
tematicalIy annoyed and simultane-
ously attacked. 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 20 and May
rs, the statement continues:
"The uniformity of these express
ions of hostility to japanese precludes
the idea that they are incidental re-
suits of chance rows between white la
boring men. They arc entirely 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 an expression of
race prejudice, to which the people
Of no other nationality are at pres
ent 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 a lawful occu-
patton, the right to which is guaran-
teed to them by treaty stipulations.
They believe that they are fully
justified in protesting against acts
which place their property in jeoD-
ardy and their lives in peril and they
denounce as unjust such public criti-
cism as attributes their complaints to
mere caprice.
ia the meantime, they sincerely
regret the necessity Of calling for spe-
cial police protection, but believe it
wiser to make that demand now rath-
er than wait until some overt act Of
the mob shall precipitate more serious
troubles and possibly bloodsned.'

GRAY HEROES
OF LOST CAUSE
Gather in Seventeenth Annual Re-
union at Richmond.
ENTHUSIASM RAMPANT
Meeting the Largest Held Since Confed-

acy.
General Boiling introduced Rev. J.
William Jones, chaplain general of
the grand camp, who presented Rev.
DR.. j. J. Grayatt Of Richmond and
the latter offered the opening prayer.
Governor Swanson of Virginia, amid
the widest enthusiasm, welcomed the
veterans to the Old Dominion.
Mayor Mccarthy of Richmond well
coined the visitors to the city, which
forty-fve years ago they defended
against the armies of Burnside, Pope,
Mcclellan, Sheridan and Grant.
B. B. Morgan of the local camp
of Sons of Veterans added the wei
come of those he represents to the
welcomes which already had been ex-
pressed.
General Boiling introduced the COM
mander-in-chief of the Confederate
Veterans, General Stephen D. Lee,
and the old soldiers rose to their
feet and received him with the ut
most enthusiasm General Lee assum-
ed the gavel Of the presiding officer
and delivered his annual address.

The people were packed along the
whole course of the parade, a dis
lance of about two miles, on the side
walks, on the porches and in the
windows of the buildings on both sides
of the street.
The whole number in line and on
the sidewalks is estimated at from
125,0O0 to 10000 There were about
10000 actual veterans in the city. OF
Sons Of Veterans and other auxiliary
bodies, military e.c, there were
about 10000, and in addition to these

Indiana Railroad Wreck.

Terre Haute, Ind.-Big -Four accom-
mediation train No. 8, which left Terre
Haute at $3.50 o'clock was destroyed
by the explosion of car of powder at
The siding east Of Sanford, Indiana, at
$3.50 o'clock Saturday night. Fifteen
persons were killed outright and the
death list is twenty-seven, with thirty
FIVE injured. The engine, two coaches
and baggage car Of the train were de-
molished. From the most definite in
formation obtainable, the freight train
had just cleared the main track and
had come to standstill when the
passenger started to pass it. It is
thought that the concussion caused by
the passenger set off the powder in
the freight car. G. NJ. Armstrong,
agent at Sand Ford, stated that he
thought the car contained about 800
kegs of powder.

I
scientific conventional tariff system of
Germany. Not long ago an officer of
one of the great electrical apparatus
concerns made the statement that our
once flourishing European market for
American electrical apparatus had dis
appeared, ain spite of very obvious
advantages in manufacture present in
the United States" The reason of
course is plain. Through the scientific
conventional tariff arrangements be-
tween the various countries of the con-
tinent trade among them has been
stimulated at the expense of American
products. Writes the authority just
quoted: could we be freed from this
discrimination through the agency of
a tariff agreement which would put
US, say in the French market, on the
same basis as Germany and Switzer-
land, our export trade would again be
able to seek the European market"
Yet there is a small class of animals
in this country who would ruin foreign
and home trade alike rather than con-
sent to the slightest alteration or
amelioration of that monumental folly,
the Dingley tariff act; and their ora
tors will ever bray!

PICKWIcKIAN REVISION.

a ENATOR HENRY CABOT LODGE
of Massachusetts, who is as the
~ shadow of the administration on
things political, was chosen to preside
over the Republican state convention
in Boston Saturday last and put
through a cut-and-dried set of resolu-
lions, tagged on to which Vas the fol-
lowing recommendation: For adoption
by the next national Republican con-
vention of a resolution calling on con-
gress to meet in special session to de-
termine upon amendments to the pres
ent tariff laws, or the enactment of a
new measure to meet changed condi
lions to remove duties needless for
either revenue or protection, and make
such notifications as experience may
have shown to be necessary" In ac-
cordance with the slate made all the in
cumbents of the state offices were re-
nominated.
The action OF that convention may
be said to foreshadoW the ultimate pur-
pose of the administration in the mat
ter of tariff revision and tells, trumpet
tongued, that no present relief may be
expected from the party in power, and
not till the election is decided may the
people look for any action on this vital
question. The national Republican
platform will hold tariff reform plank
and "stand pat" understanding that
it shall be for campaign purposes only,
Af OiY,or
action at the ballot box is passed the
men in power will do as they have done
for years-nurse protection that pro-
lection may support them in Office.
What but the clamorous call of the
whole people could make Mr.. Lodge adj
nit that there were duties needless for
either revenue or protection? But for
the crying need expressed in every ave-
nue. of legitimate trade outside of the
big trusts Lodge would have been as
silent as the sphinx.
BY degrees the leaven of tariff reform
is spreading, and even administration
adherents see the trend of public de-
mand and condescendingly stoop to-
recommend it, be considered latter
the election" 1t is currently said that
when Mr.. Roosevelt sneezes, in pollti-
cal sense, Mr.. Mr.. Lodge uses his hand
kerchief, but it should not be forgotten
that Mr.. Cannon and his senatorial
hackers must be heard from later in a
mind the people!"
