WESTERNERS
ROLL PRESIDENT
Talked Too Much Concerning
His Views on Japanese
Question. II
Mail Special to the Advertiser.)

| (Mdil 6p6Cldl To Inc AdN6TbiSeAsJ
| WASHINGTON, D. c., February A.
| Californians have been much in the
spot light of recent days for their
| agitation of the Japanese question.
| Charges of broken faith are made
| against them at the White House and
at the State Department. The Presi-
dent is indignant. He hints at be-
trayal of condolences in that certain
of the California delegation, after a
full and free discussion with them
about the delicate Japanese situation,
went away, told the newspapers all
about it, and even quoted the Presi-
denis language about the "bassoon
playing mayor of San Francisco. The
California members who did not give
away what the President said are in
dignant at their colleagues who did.
There has been secret service work
to find out the names of the men, 1t
is now claimed that one Of them GER
tainly was a Senator and that posi-
bly, two of the members of the House
offended. On top of it all Senator
Perkins rolled the President and the
Congress by an address he delivered
before the National Geographic Society,
asserting that war with Japan might
be afar off but that it would come in
time
So everybody has been put out and
the Californians have not been in al
together as desirable light as the
thousands of friends and admirers of
that great State would wish. The |
President has stated more than once
that the agitators in San Francisco
were really doing all they possibly |
could to prevent him from securing
for them the very things they are
clamoring for. And now he has to /
add that the California delegation, be- I
cause of the indiseretions of .some of |
its men, are in the category with the !
San Francisco agitators. On the 9TH
er hand the California senators and
members are quietly passing few hot
retorts to the President to the effect
that if he had consulted them in the
first place instead of writing hasty
and ill-considered message the entire
difficulty with Japan could have been
adjusted. The San Francisco people
would not have been made mad at
the implied threat to send warships
against their city.

JAPANESE SAIL

Three Hundred Go on Mongolia
on Through Passports---No
Such Permits Known.
A. T. MAHAN,
Rear Admiral, Retired.

If there was a sign of trouble at the
Hackfeld wharf yesterday over the de-
parture of the Japanese for the Coast
| it was not apparent, and If there was
nese to break in on the Mongolia 1t
was SO carefully disguised as to be un-
noticed by the hundreds OF people on
the wharf at the time of the departure
| of the steamer.
| In the morning the Governor was ap-
prised of the determination of the
| United states to put into immediate
effect the law that had just been made
by the Congress. Secretary Root adj
vised Governor Carter in the following
terms:
Washington, D. c.. Feb. 10, 1907.
To His Excelleney George r. Garter,
Governor of Hawaii, Honolulu.
In view of provision of new imm1-
grafton law just passed both Houses
OF Congress, President directs me res
quest you to notify japanese laborers
in Hawaii who came there on passports
issued by Japanese Government for
Hawaii only that they viii not be ad-
mitted to United States mainland, and
notify steamships not to transport
them ROOT.
With this in hand. Secretary Atkin-
son Immediately called in person upon
the agents of the steamships Mongolia
and the Maru and notified them that
they were not to take japanese labor
ers as passengers to the Coast. Hay-
ing dene this verbally, he followed II
with written instructions TO the same
effect. But before this message was
received a number of Japanese who had
purchased tickets wended their way
to the wharf, and it is supposed they
secured places on the boat. About
four O'Clock in the afternoon 1T was

trouble and that the japanese VINO

During the hour prior to the depar-

steerage passengers went UP Tr1e gang

their traps from the vessel. The Jap

he replied that there had not, that
there were. in the neighborhood of three
hundred Japanese steerage passengers
from this port with hold-over tickets
and passports. that they had been here
since the last steamer and would now
be allowed to continue their voyage.
but that this would be the last lot al
lowed to go under such circumstances
This gentleman stated that the pass
ports held by the passengers were for
California and they We're of the hold
over breed. An inquiry at the office
of the agents brought no information
beyond a statement that the steamer
had carried away number of such
Japanese passengers and that they
would go to San Francisco in the reg
ular way. From Immigration Commis-
sioner Brown it was learned that such
a thing as a .'hold-over" passport for
d Japanese Iaborer was unknown TO
him and he could throw no light on the
subject.
It is well known that for a year the
Japanese Government has refused to
issue passports beyond this place and
this is very plainly stated on the pass
port. InlS IdcL was DEOuSuL Oul IA

that the men and women on the Mon
golia from this port were not really
from Japan in the sense that through

the majority Of the steerage
pa ssengers will be returned.
The new law will seriously affect the
steamship companies and it is thought
that a number of the hotelkeepers in
Japan Sea- will have to go to work.

seven dollars commission, one way on

LEGISLATIVE
CAUCUS|NC
Senators Secretive, but
Representatives Are
Candid Takers.

Yesterday was caucus day for the
members of the Legislature and there
were busy lots on the corners and il
back rooms in consequence. There were
a number of good men and true look
ing for jobs and some of them were
made happy before the juice was al
lowed to flow in the electric light wires
for the night service.
While the deliberations of the eau
Gus were public property in a way,
by a vote of the members, the Sen
ate caucus decided that the matter was
to be kept away from the press. For
that reason the Senators declined to
disclose anything last night.
In the House caucus it was differ
ent. The members were as free as
air; they showed no desire to con-
ceal from the public anything that was
done during their deliberations. For
instance, w. J. Sheldon was unanimous
ly elected chairman of the caucus and
when that was accomplished the mem
bers got busy. E. w. Quinn became
at once the leader of the body and
showed fine executive ability, display
ing such fnesse that some of the states
went through without a suspicion of
their existence.
speaker for the lower House, Holstein,
of Kohala, went in with rush and
G. E. Rice was made vice speaker. The
selection of clerk was little more
difficult, perhaps, because there were
more candidates. John Wise made a
suggestion that the clerk might be
one who could save the Territory money
by acting as Interpreter but this did
not meet with approval by the mem
bers. But a compromise was made that
pleased Wise all right. Wise was elect
ed clerk and it was settled that the
assistant clerk would be the inter
prefer. For the latter place it is be-
heved A. G. Kaulukou will be select
ed ID. X. Sheldon was decided upon
as messenger and Henry kawlwlhe is
to be the ergeant-at-arms. Kalilika-
lani, the relic of the monarchy, was
given the place as janitor and r. A.
Kearns. who has recently become a
citizen of the United States, was ap-
pointed stenographer.
J. d. Castro was the secretary of
the caucus, a position which has duties
without emolument but one with which
he is so familiar that he is never
given chance to decline. The eau
Gus decided to support the resolution
empowering Delegate Kuhio TO invite
such members of Congress as he thought
best to visit Hawaii during the ses-
sion
The caucus was called by the chair
man of the central committee.

HOW SAM TURNED HIS DOLLAR,

Sam was little, black boy Of an
inquiring mind, but whose education
had been neglected and as he waited
at his masters table. he listened to
the conversation going on amongst
the guests. Now his masters friends
were men of business and their talk
the room all the time, so he only
heard fragments of their discourse,
such as ''Tomkyns Is making money, =
"Ah!" said another, she has put five
thousand dollars in his ground ut
will soon grow" said third guest.
He will turn 1t all over. 1t will
double itself in year"
Sam listened intently; he thought
he had found out why 'de bosses"
had SO much money; they put it in
the ground and it grew; so as soon
as he got possession Of dollar he
determined to put his newly acquired
knowledge into practice. Slipping
into the garden, when he thought he
was unobserved, he dug a hole under
some magnolias and after patting his
dollar affectionately and telling It to
"be a good boy and grow quick" he
placed 1t in the hole and carefully
covered 1t up. After waiting for a
few weeks he went again and digging
up the ground he turned the dollar
over, and covered 1t up, left it un-
touched for several months. When
he again paid 1t visit he found 1t
without a single cent Of increase. He
gazed at 1t ruefully and exclaiming
"him not grown BIT" he put it in his
pocket and went sadly away.

they were together he put his arms
about her neck, and told her if she
would not cry he would never kill any
more birds or squirrels. When they
got back to the room the squirrel was
quite alive and scrambled into the
box, glad to get by itself.
Now" said Harry, "you get your

They took 1t to the place where

this the squirrel lived. Harry was
going to let it out at the mouth of the

very sick"
So Harry got a shovel and dug

They were sound asleep and Lucy
would not have them touched. In
