Tokyo, Sept. 3.-The unconcilia-

ment toward Japan is gradually in
creasing and is now verging on the
anti Japanese. There is indignation
here at the sudden change Of front by
China.
The situation ct Peking is attract
ing attention of public thinkers. It is
felt that for the sake of tranquility in

should not be maintained.
In some quarters it is thought that
it is absolutely necessary to impress
China with the unreasonableness OF
her present attitude and send for that
purpose foremost statesman to rep
resent the Japanese at Peking. In
that connection Count Okuma is sug-
gested, he having already done much
for China, especially in the education
of Chinese students. Marquis Ito

Hill COMMENTS ON
MARKET CONDITIONS

New York, Aug. 31.-James J. Hill,
Of the Great Northern, is in town
again.
When asked for his opinion as to
the specific causes of the troubled CON-
dition Of the securities market, he
said:
"The weakness in bonds and stocks
is not confined to this country alone.
The condition is worldwide, but in
this country we need more money
than is needed anywhere else.
"Of course, money is not scarcer
here than it has ever been. The
amount Of money, as such, is the same,
but there is lack, not 30 much of in
vestment power, as of investors.
What we need most just now is a clear
head in charge of the nations affairs
and steady hand at the helm
do you believe" Mr.. Hill was
asked. "that clear head and steady
hand are guiding the country's policy
at present."
"Oh, yes, to be sure" he replied.
But in order to get those who have
power to make investments to regard
good securities with more favor, it
will be necessary to restore confidence.
How that can be done, l can't say
now. Every man probably has his
own opinion on that subject"

PA[OUSE FARMERS
ORGANIZING unions

Garfield, WASH, Aug. 31.-There
is much indignation here at the treat
ment accorded the farmers by the
Oregon Railroad and Navigation Com
pany, and now the farmers have de-
cided to put stop to the necessity
for putting up with it. "There was
a time fifteen years ago." says James
Walters, pioneer farmer who is at
the head of the movement to build q
system of warehouses throughout the
Inland Empire, when the farmers
owned the warehouses in many of the
Palouse towns, and by charging n
cents bushel, or approximately 80
cents a ton, for handling charges,
there was money to be made in the
business, and we invariably declared
q dividend each year.
zone hundred and thirty farmers
have organized at Pennington what is
known as The Farmers Union, and
we are handling our own grain from
that district over the Northern Paci-
fic, and not pound of wheat will be
shipped over the Oregon Railway and
Navigation this year. These 1870
farmers are all wealthy and we are
going to show the Oregon Railway
and Navigation, or any other railroad,
that it is bad business to ignore the
wishes of the farmers of the Palouse
country.
Gas soon as the busy season is over,
we shall organize the Farmers Union
in every town and hamlet in the In
land Empire. We now have our lit
erature in the homes of the farmers
all over the country. The farmers
who are looking to their own inter sts
are reading the literature, and as soon
as our organizer comes around they
will be ready to join to protect their
own interests.
In less than two years we expect to
have system of warehouses not only
throughout the wheat distiets Of the
Inland Empire, but on the Coast and
at Portland ras well, and why should
we not?
Eve have been driven to it, and
now that we are organized the move.
ment is going to spread and union
warehouses will soon be found in
every part Of the country where there
is a farming community"

Chinese COOLIES ARE
EXPELLED FROM JAPAN

Tokyo, Sept. By going to the
extreme limit in excluding alien labor
ers, Japan adds new and highly i'm
portant chapter to the labor contro-
versy. The Chinese minister fled Sat-
urday with the foreign Office a COM
plant against the officers of Kagossima
province in forcing the contractors on
the government railway to discharge
several Chinese coolies imported un-
der contract. The contractors had
arranged for 800 men, Of whom SOC
had arrived. The contractors had oh.
tanned official sanction for the impor-
tation.
In accordance with a law enacted
on the demands of the guilds, the Off.
GERS were forced to order the contract
ors to discharge the Chinese, citing
special regulations promulgated when
Count Okuma was foreign minister,
under which regulations aliens, even
after their admission had been official.
~ authorized, might be expelled by
the local authorities.
The law was enacted at the time Of
the negotiation of the American trea.
ty, in practical application of the
treaty provision according the govern.
ment full control over foreign laborers.
The fact that Chinese work for sc
to so per cent lower wages than the
japanese has caused much agitation
on the part of the Japanese labor
guilds. It is significant that extreme
action is made possible by the Official
act of Count Okuma, the man who
was recently the most prominent critic
of the American exclusion policy.
The foreign office takes the attitude
that the matter is entirely in the
hands Of the local authorities.
