his course, but a possible change at
Washington has long been imminent.
Neither should the present action be
construed to denote the slightest
change in the friendly attitude of the
japanese government twoards America
on the immigration question.
In the course of an interview today
this official said
1T is quite possible that Viscount
Aoki may not return to Washington.
In the event of his resignation the gov
eminent of Japan will appoint to
the position a person we'll known in
America, whom the president knows
and likes, and who has the confidence
of the American people. The japanese
government is making every effort to
meet the wishes of the president and
the people of America on the immigra-
ton question and in appointing for
eign minister realizes the Importance
of having a representative in Washing
ton who is not only acceptable and
friendly to the people but is acquainted
with the prevailing conditions In Amer
ica."
A special dispatch from Washington
to the Mainichidempo says that the
American public is inclined to think
the recall of Aoki is due to the deter

lister Hayashi to pursue a different
America The official above quoted
assured the Associated Press repre-
sentative that such construction was
entirely erroneous. On the contrary,
the immigration question, he said, is
now nearer a friendly solution than
ever before.
Minister Hayashi is determined to
exercise all the authority vested in the
foreign minister to control the immi-
grafton of laborers.

Baron Chinda and Messrs. Verret and

Mr.. Lemfeux, who responded, express

informed positively that while the
Japanese government would not con-

Ottawa, Ont, Dec. 4.-Before an
audience of 5000 persons last night
Sir Wilfrid Laurier made a bitter at
tack on Mr.. Borden, leader of the op-
position, for his attitude in going
about in British Columbia trying to
catch votes by favoring the restric-1

The premier said that. while China

Asia any time, he said, Japan doubt

HEATINGPLA ANT ACCIDENT
State Office Holders Had a Cold Time
for a Few Hours

There was an explosion at the state
heating plan Tuesday. The governor
blew UP. This is not the same governor
who has an office in the state house
but the one which goes round and
round on the big engine in the electric
lighting plant.
When the governor burst, it scat
tered chunks of iron around very pro-
m1scuously for few minutes and the
engine nearly ran away but no one was
hurt. and the damage done will be re-
paired by the purchase of a new gov
ernor. The plant, however, was shut
down for some hours, and the offices at
the state house became uncomfortably
cold for a while

ations first went into the oil fields.
The product was followed from the
we'll to the consumer and across the

ACTIVITY IS SHOWN
BY STREET CAR co.
1t Is Probably Due to Fear
Of Further Unfavorabie
Legislation.
NORTH FIFTH ST. WORK.
WHEN CHANGES ARE CONFLICT
ED THE RIDING QUALITIES OF
THE LINE WILL BE MUCH I'M
PROVED.

The Richmond street and Interur-
ban company is showing unusual &C
tivity since council passed an ordin-
ance requiring the company to repair
Fifth street under a penalty. The ac-
tivity of the local company is attri-
bufed to the fear of further unfayor-
able legislation.
North Fifth street is scarcely recog-
nizable. although the Improvement
work is not yet completed. A fine
grade of stone is being placed on the
street on a level with the street car
tracks and this is being shaped up by
the monster street roller. 1t will be
several days before the work can be
completed All the expense of the
Fifth street Improvement is paid by
the street car company.
The company is also repairing its
roadbed ali over the city, unusual ef-
fort to please being shown since the
CITY ordinance was passed. When
completed a ride on the trolly over
the streets of Richmond will be much
smoother than it ever has been in
the past The lines in West Rich
mond and Fairview are now receiv-
ing the attention OF the street car
company.
