By Ira E. Bennett

WASHINGTON. Feb. 20
+ The sinister fact that all Is not well be-
tween the United States and Japan, In
spite Of the announcement that the
Toxic Government had given Its con-
Ssent to the enactment of the amend
ment excluding coolies from the main
land Of this country. cannot much
longer be concealed. Dispatches from
Toxic guardedly admit that the Japan
ese populace IS becoming more demon
strative II It's resentment against the
United States and against its own Gov
ernment for consenting TO the exclusion
OF Japanese from the American main
land. The protest Of Japanese in Ha-
wall. cabled to Toxic, was most en-
phatic IN tone.
A conference was held at the White
House today between the President,
( secrets-y Of the Navy AIetcalf, Admiral
Dewey. the officers of the general ma
val board and Rear Admiral Converse,
chief OF the bureau OF navigation, and
Notwithstanding strict injunctions OF
secrecy II was learned that the discus
leion dealt with the relations between
the United States and japan and the
advisability Of increasing the naval
strength OF this country IN Pacific
waters.
Certain Senators In the confidence OF
the President have been advised for
some tine that the relations between
the United States and japan might be-
come strained. and the admission is
made IN certain quarters that the
President acted upon information no;
vet known to the country when he took
unusual steps TO remove the causes OF
( friction arising from the discrimina-
ton against Japanese IN San Francisco
NAVAL FORCE DISCUSSED
, roday.s conference became still more
sirnsecant when It was learned that
tbe suestion OF the disposition of war

Roosevelt had directed Admiral Dewey
and the other members Of the general
naval board TO meet him at the White
House to discuss the situation. the i'm
mediate purpose being TO decide
whether there was any necessity FOL
asking Congress for emergency sppro.
= priations.
while Il Is believed that there is nc
danger Of serious difference arising ir
the Immediate future. It is apparent
that the Japanese question has not
been settled permanently. The admin

Is dissatisfaction in Japan over the ad-
3ustment OF the San francisco school

EXPLOSION OF GAS
CREATES PANIC, AMONG GUESTS OF
 CHICAGO HOTEL.
ExpIOsioa Blew Up Sidewalk-Many Persons Injured and Three Fire men Were Overcome by
 Gas Fumes.

Chicago. June 19.-An explosion of gas blew up both sections of the stone sidewalk in front of the Dearborn Ho- tel, 39s to 404 State Street last night. causing a panic among the guests and injuring several persons Guests ran through the corridors screaming and climbing down the fire escapes.
 Three firemen in attempting to shut off the gas were overcome and were carried to the street by comrades.
 When the explosion lifted the side walk, three men were passing the ho- tel, they were raised in the air and fell back into the basement with the broken flying stones. One of them suffered injuries to his leg. The other men were stunned.
 After the explosion the hotel was left in darkness and the building was soon filled with fumes from open gas jets. Bremen entered the building and groped about turning off gas. It was while trying to repair a leak in pipe that the firemen were overcome.
 The explosion Is thought to have been caused by sparks from an electric light which fell to the walk and ignited the escaping gas. The lamp post was thrown through a window of pawn shop by the crash.
