PRESIDENT SOLVES THE PROBLEM
To Meet California Delegation This
Evening and Unfold Plan as
to Japanese.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 3O.-The
president has reached a solution of the
Japanese coolie problem. He will UNI
fold it to the California delegation
this evening. 1t is understood he has
reached an agreement with the Japa-
nese ambassador, Aoki, whereby the
Toxic government will prevent labor
ers from taking passage for this coun-
try.
1t is not likely to be announced Off
cially. If it were the Mikado would
be attacked by opposition at home He
cannot make a treaty but may achieve
the same results by exercising his
power over steamship lines

THE CRANKY GOVERNOR.

The queer performances of the COVER
nor of Jamaica may well anger the peO-
pie of Kingston. He has deprived them
of the food and surgical aid which
many of them need. The help of Anne
rican marines while distasteful to him,
may have been most acceptable to all
except the thieves and robbers. The
governor has irritated his superiOrs by
HIS tactless and offensive way of re-
jecting well meant offers Of timely as
Sistance.
IA the governors conduct has pro-
voked such a chorus of regret and de-
procation in England there is no Oc-
caSion for Americans to be either ang-
ry or irritated They can draw enter
tainment and instruction from the fact
that the British system of training
men to be colonial governors does not
always work satisfactorily. 1t some
heads when most in need of them.
Sir Alexander Swettenham has been
serving at the trade of colonial COVER
nor in different parts Of the British
empire, says the Chicago Tribune, for
so many years as to have become satu-
rated with the feeling of personal and
national greatness and self -sufficiency.
He may have been SO wrapped up in
red tape and his own dignity that not
even an earthquake could free him.
He may have been displeased that
American instead of British ships We're
the first to bring relief. He may have
such an Overweening opinion of Eng
lands grandeur as to resent the
thought of its coming under Obligations
to another power 1t may really have
shocked him to see American marines
dashing breeZily around in the streets
of Kingston. extracting British sub
jects from piles of rubbish. He may
have felt that he ought to attend to
everything without foreign aid and
have assumed that he needed no as
sistance, and that to accept it would be
confession of incOmpetency
Or, indeed, it may be that the earth
quake unsettled him. The duties of a
governor when one happens are not
presented in the rules and regulations
which have guided him during HIS
long official life, and the responsibilities
suddenly thrust upon him may have
been too much for him. But while that
may explain it cannot justify his churl-
ish letter to Admiral Davis. Probably
the governor was proud of it when he
wrote it, thinking it had fine, sarcastic
passages which would make the Yam
kee vince.
Properly enough, the British gov
errnment will not condemn one of its
servants unheard. 1t has called on the
governor or Jamaica for an explanation
Unless it is satisfactory-and it is hard
to see how it can be-the British
government that it deeply regrets the
of highly appreciated American cour-
tesieS.
And then the unfortunate incident"
will be forgotten except by the people
Of Kingston. They will have a lively
remembrances of American kindness
and British official rudeness and in
capacity. The governor has declined
to accept the rations rendered by the
United States war department. 1t is to
be hoped that the food supplies now on
their way to Kingston will not be re-
jected by him or recalled by the donors
