HOW THEY FEEL IN JAPAN
They Want Their Treaty Rights and
Nothing Else VIII Make
Them Happy.

Toxic, Feb AFTER a careful sur
vey Of public feeling here regarding
the prospect of a satisfactory solution
of the San Francisco school contro-
versy 1t may be stated that while the
approach Of the termination Of the dis
agreeable affair is welcomed, yet the
report from Washington that a solu-
ton may be effected by a mutual
treaty excluding the immigration of la
borers is generally disbelieyed as IN
reasonable.
According to the prevailing feeling
a solution must be effected on Japan's
treaty rights pure and simple. How
ever, confidence continues that a solu-
ton Of the question will be reached
without the least sacrifice Of Japanese
honor and prestige

Indiana Coal Unsatisfactory.

Locomotives on Indiana divisions Of
the Pennsylvania are burning southern
Indiana coal this winter, Until last
June the fuel used was Pittsburg,
brought here from the east, but a short
age in coal cars combined with the
cheapness OF transportion of the In
diana lump. resulted in the change
from eastern to Indiana fuel. That now
used is transported over the Vandalia
lines from Terre Haute in the heart
of the Indiana coal field. and is trans
ferred at Logansport from the Van
division to the other Pennsylvania
lines diverging, in large quantities.
AS a result Of the change in fuel
firemen are complaining that firing en-
gines is a harder task than 1t has been
other winters. Climatic conditions, I'M
til recently. have been favorable for
fremen as it has been neither too cold
nor stormy for easy firing, but the
quality Of coal, they say. is not so good
as the quality of that used in other
winters.
