though so close to their governments. constantly
postpone decisions stop work because they
must ask for instructions. Up to the present
time the efforts of the American delegates have
been unsuccessful: the fate of the permanent
court of arbitration is still undecided. The re-
port the matter of obligatory arbitration was
intrusted to Baron GuilIaune CBelgium). who
has consistently opposed this idea in accordance
with the instructions of King Leopold, who fears
the application OF obligatory arbitration to the
Congo Independent State. For this same reason

Ottawa, Sept. 16.-Japanese immigration was
the subject of a half-hour conference between
the Premier, Sir Wilfrid Laurer: NJ. Ishii the
special japanese envoy, and the Japanese Consul
General, NJ Nosse, this afternoon
The position of the Canadian government is
that the old arrangement in regard to Japanese
immigration into Canada should be maintained
In effect this arrangement was that not more
than six hundred persons should arrive in Can
ada from Japan in one year The importations
from Honolulu greatly exceed this number
Japan says that she is unable to control the
rivals from a country under the United States
flag.
NJ. Ishii explained that Japan was still carry

possible for her to do so, although he was
forced to admit that the spirit of the bargain

was being violated by the arrivals from Homo
lulu. The Premier suggested that change be
made in the treaty that the same power
would be given to Canada was now contained
IN the United States treaty with Japan, far
as controlling immigration was concerned.
NJ. Ishii showed that there would be great
difficulty in the way of obtaining amendments
to the treaty at the present time. and the min
lister admitted that a thorough understanding
on both sides If adhered to. would be better than
written bargain. Mr.. Ishii was of the same
opinion. and will report to his government to
that effect Personally. NJ Ishii has no power
