JAPAN NOT LOOKING roR VAR.
Discouragcs Emigration to United
States.

Washington. d. c., Jan. 10.--OT-
cial Information has been received in
Washington concerning Japan's atu-
tude toward the emigration of her
subjects to the United States that
may or may not be deeply significant
The authorities have in their posses
sion reports which. however. did not
corue through diplomatic channels,
showing that while Japan encour-
ages her subjects to settle in Hawaii
1t discourages migration to the
mainland. In fact, passports are
freely issued to laborers destined for
Hawaii, but they are denied to those
who express a desire to go 10 the
United States proper.
Japan's willingness to permit ma
tive laborers to go to Hawaii is ex-
planned on the ground that Japanese
are heavily interested in various en-
terprises in the islands and that ia
pan for that reason is desirous OF
cooperating with a view to supply
Ing the demand for labor in Hawaii.
Japan, 1t is further explained, is not
looking for trouble with the United
States. For that reason she will not
Issue passports to japanese who give
this country as their destination.
This attitude is assumed by Japan
with a desire to prevent situation
whereby sentiment would develop In
the United States for japanese exclu-
sion. The enactment of such a law.
1t Is pointed out. might rupture cor
dial relations between the two gov
ernments.

During the first six months there
was prospect that the showinf
might be less than that of 1905, but
race hatred increased and in two o,
three localities serious riots o..
Cured. There was a hope that the
North might get through the yeui

Atlanta in September and the twelve
killed at Scooba and Wahala, Miss,
In December, are not included. Mis-

The number of legal executions ir
1906 was 123. as compared with 125
In 1905.
The total number of deaths by VIC

crease over 1905, being $3.50, as
compared with 9,212. The steady in

number for 1906 is 1925, which ex-
ceeds the homicide record, and is an
increase of 143 over 1905.

is the largest total since 1894. being

$9,61S,172, in 1905.

that he was formally invested with
sovereign power. In celebration of
this occasion the taxes on meat and
bread were remitted throughout Per-

long continued agitation in Persfn
and many disturbances of a serious
nature, the Shah granted a constitu-
tion, with a nationaG Assembly, and
other reforms.
Tht Shah will be succeeded by his
eldest son, Mohammed Ali Mira. the

pboyed to prolong the rulers life
The heir apparent and the ministers
were summoned. The women of the
palace also begun preparations for
mourning.
Soon after sunset the doors OF the
slarem were closed. This was the
sign that all was over.

Counsel Fees,

Senator's Have Been Getting Big
Counsel Fees.
Albany, N, Y, Jan. 10.-Very many
Republicans who have been disap-
pointed In their desire for a reor-
ganization of the Senate have de-
cided that something must be done
to. convince the voters of the State
that those in charge Of the party's
affairs should take some steps to
make good their desire for reform.
With this end In view It was
learned that bill is to be intro
duced simultaneously in the Senate
and the Assembly which will prevent
Senators, Assemblymen and Con-
gressmen and all others holding pub
lie office from participating in the
fees which they as legislators and
public officials create through legis-
lation.
1t was asserted that the bill to be
introduced is to be based upon the
Federal law which precludes a
United States Senator or member
OF the House of Representatives
from participating in the financial
results which might accrue from the
legislation on which they are direct
ly or indirectly interested In getting
IN the statute books.
