amicable adjustment of the question
now rests with congress. If the amend

less the Japanese government agrees
to a proposition for separate schools
which will provide equal facilities for
the Japanese children.
The Californians Satisfied.
Mayor Schmitz and his associates
conferred with the president, and as.
sured MI. Roosevelt that the amend
ment to the immigration bill was en-
tirely satisfactory to them. Secre-
tary Root participated in the confer
ence, and made a report on his nego-
tiations with the republican leaders in
congress and the Japanese ambassa-
dor. While the Californians are still
hopeful that Viscount Aoki. the Jap
anese ambassador, will agree to sepa-
rate schools in San Francisco, they
stand willing to rescind the order es-
tablishing the oriental schools and
again admit japanese children t. the

LIBERAL GOVERNMENT KEEPING
A PROMISE IN REGARD TO
LEGISLATION FOR IRISH.
ELECTIVE BODY
Secretary BirreIl Pledges That the
Government Will Secure the
Reinstatement of Evicted
Tenants.

London--Following closely upon his
announcement of the intention of the
government to introduce a measure to
improve the government of ireland.
Augustine Birrell, chief secretary for
Ireland, has given formal notice that a
bill ITO establish an Irish council, and
for other purposes connected there
WITH" would be introduced. Thus is
the liberal government keeping its
promise to the nationalists to place
Irish legislation to the forefront of
the present session of parliament.
One of the most difficult details fac
ing the government was whether the
council should be elected or nominal
ed. In the original draft of this bill
an entirely ~nominative body was pro-
posed, brt John f. Redmond, the Irish
leader, rejected this as useless, a pro-
posal which he and the other Irish
leaders could not support.
Elective Element Will Predominant.
The bill of which Mr.. Birrell has
given notice will provide for a II

TWENTY-FIVE DEAD.
Wreck of ar Electric Express on the
New York Central.

New York-Twenty-two dead, 2 fatal.
ly hurt and 145 others more or less
seriously injured, is the result of the
wreck of an electric express train on
the New York Central railroad at Two
Hundred and Fifth street and Webster
avenue. OF the large number of in.
jured, so are, according to hospital and
police reports, seriously hurt, and the
death list may be increased. Most of
the others are suffering from lacera-
tons or shock and will recover.
How the Passengers Were Killed.
, When the wreck occurred the three
real coaches, filled with passengers,
were thrown on their right side just
above a sharp curve. The shock was
terrific. People were hurled violently
from their seats. and the most of those
who were killed were pitched through
the windows as the cars slid 'on their
sides. Between the wreck of the "cur.
rent rail and the main track the bod
les were wedged. They were held
here as the cars passed along and in
this way were terribly mangled.

SENATE ADOPTS THE CONFER
ENCE REPORT ON THE I'M.
MIGRATION BILL.
A ROLL CALL
Bacon, Of Georgia, Charges New Eng
land Senators Are Trying to
Check Marvellous Growth
Of the South.

Washington--The senate, in spite
of the opposition of the southern SEN
ators, adopted without a roll call the
conference report on the immigration
bill. This bill contains a provision
by which the president may exclude
Japanese coolies from the United
States, and, by thus pleasing the peo-
pie of the Pacific coast, open the
San Francisco schools to Japanese
children.
During the final debate Senator Ba-
con, of Georgia, made the open charge
that New England senators were try
ing to pass the immigration bill in
order to check the marvellous pros
perity of the south.
How Japs Are Excluded.
The amendment which permits the
president to exclude Japanese coolies
is as follows:
That whenever the president shall
be satisfied that passports issued by
any foreign government to It's citizens
to go to any country other than the
United States. or to any insular pos

the canal zone, are being used for the
purpose of enabling the holders to
come to the continental territory of
the United States, to the detriment of
labor conditions therein, the president
may refuse to permit such citizens of
the country issuing such passports to
enter the continental territory of the
United States from such other coun.
tries, or from such insular possessions,
or from the canal zone"
Explains the Amendments.
To understand the exact working Of
stood that at the present time the
Japanese government has refused to
give its subjects passports to go d.
rectly from Japan to the United
States. This has been done on the gen
eral principle that there was not suf-
ficient opening for the Japanese in
this country, and their home govern.
ment, therefore, as a police regulation,
would not grant passports to its sub
jects directly destined for the United
States.
Japan did grant passports to Hawaii,
Mexico, Canada, and many other coun-
tries. Once an emigrant from Japan
left that country he was outside the
jurisdiction of his home government.
There was nothing to prevent his lay.

course taken by the Japanese who

WANT \. CLAY PIERCE
GOVERNOR OF TEXAS ISSUES A
REoUislTloN FOR OIL MAN.
Texas officer Watching for Him In
St. Louis, but He Is Reported
In New York.

JEFFERSON City, .Mo.-The governor Of
Texas has issued a requisitlon on the
governor of Missouri for II. Clay
Pierce, of st. Louis, chairman of the
board of the Waters-Pierce OIL Co.
The requisition for Pierce Is on the
charge of perjury.
The indictment, which accompanies
the requisition papers, charges that
Pierce, May 81, 1900, made a false af-
fdavit that the Waters-Pierce Oil Co.
was not and had not entered into any
agreement or understanding with any
corporation, partnership, firm or in
dividual to regulate the price of any
article or commodity.
1t Is Further CHARGED.
1t further charges that at the time
Pierce made the affidavit he knew
that the company had entered into an
agreement with the Standard Oil Co..
John ID. Rockefeller, John ID. Archbold.
II. II. Rogers and others to contro,
the price of oil in Texas, and that tho
Standard Oil Co. had acquired con.
trolling interest in the Waters.Pie,ce
Co.
Pierce is under indictment on a
charge of perjury for the making of
an alleged false affidavit in Texas to
the effect that the Waters-Pierce Oil
Co. was not in any trust or combine
with the Standard Oil Co.
Bailey Committee Wants Him.
Pierce has been sought by the leg
~islative committee which is investi-
eating at Austin charges against Unit
ed States Senator Bailey. After set
ting dates to send a subcommittee to
st. Louis and take Pierce's testimony,
the committee has virtually given up
hope of summoning Pierce before it. J.
ID. Johnson wired the Legislative com.
mittee last week that press Of bust.
ness made it impossible for Pierce to
come from New York at that time and
testify.
