Washington, Feb. 16.-Schmitz as
serts the delegation has received
many telegrams congratulating them
upon the settlement of the difficulty.
They have not rescinded the order
excluding japanese from the schools,
and are not likely TO do so. 1t was
agreed with the president, however,
that no Japanese child properly ap-
plying for admission to the schools
would be excluded. This will simply
construe. the state law as not applying
to japanese, whereas it was formerly
held the word Mongolians included
japanese.
The delegation succeeded in bring
ing the administration to the view OF
sympathizing with the view of the
Pacific coast people. and bringing
the president to swing the big stick
over congress.
Wash and Doyle have left to in
spect the school schemes of other
eastern cities. Schmitz and others
will remain to attend the labor BAN
auet next week.

Japan May Have Surprise.

London, Feb. ia dispatch from
Toxic this morning denies upon good
authority that Japan has agreed to
any solution of the San Francisco
problem, the basis of which would be
exclusion of japanese labor from
America. British officials think this
report is erroneous, and some high

the emperor passes upon the nego-
tiations his expressions will be more
startling than anything that has yet
appeared in the controversy.

The Normal Question.

:, l3y the arrival OF SenaluF !SInltitg
much clearer light has been thrown
upon some legislative propositions.
| Regarding the normal school ques-
ticn, he says the situation is badly
muddled and the outcome is yet
mystery. To legislators who do not
have schools on their hands the mat
ter is regarded as a joke, but to the
remainder 1t is a matter Of deadly
seriousness.
AS the bill now stands. Senator
Smith says the board, which is to be
composed of the governor, state su-
perintendent, secretary of state and
two others, may place the two schools
wherever they desire. 1t is not nee
esSary to keep the schools in the towns
where they are now located. But the
appropriation of $4,000 for the two
schools would make it impossible to
move any school to a new town at
the states expense.
BY the terms of the bill passed an
unwclcome duty has been placed up
on the governor, secretary of state
and state superintendent. Secretary
l'of State Benson desires to retain
Ashland and Drain, while Superinten-
dent Ackerman supports Monmouth
and Weston. Consequently the COVER
nor is the unwilling arbiter. He has
the appointment of the other two
members of the board and so may
control the same. However, there is
little doubt but that he will veto the
measure entirely, in which case the
matter would again be thrown upon
the Legislature.
What would be done should the
veto be placed is impossible to say.
There is now just one week more left
of the session and already business is
so congested that it is hard to tell
what will get through. Scores of
bills are pending and to make mat
tiers worse the senate and house are
at loggerheadS and each has passed
but a few bills from the other branch.
1t is probable that the last few days
of the session will be devoted to
"punching" measures as was the case
four years ago when the house and
senate fell out.
