BfILICOSf JAPS ON BORDERS !
aoRiENTALs ANGRY BECAUSE
THEY ARE SHUT OUT OF THE
UNITED STATES

NaoH1uSLou, Aplll Ii. - 0SCTeldIy

Diary between the United States and
Mexico.
Angry at Exclusion.
The reports which have reached
here regarding the attitude Of the Jap.
anese who are being turned back at
the borders are disquieting, to say the
least. 1t was natural to expect that
the first immigrants to be turned back
would resent their exclusion and
would complain at once to the Japa-
nese ambassador. Most of them left
long before the exclusion order was
put into effect.
Clashes Are Common.
There are daily clashes at the from.
tier now between the immigration Of
fcers and Japanese
When President Roosevelt issued
his first exclusion proclamation he
caused regulations to be prepared for
the guidance Of immigration officers
in administering the law. They were
specifically warned under penalty OF
dismissal that they must treat Japa-
nese Offering themselves for admis-
sion and excluded under the order
with extraordinary courtesy.
Japs Are Boastful.
Now immigration officers complain
that Japanese arrivals taunt them
with cowardice and try to provoke
them into the use of violence or bad
language for the express purpose OF
securing their removal from the serv.
ice. At any rate. Japanese arrivals
at almost every port are provoking
immigration officers to condition OF
downright fury. and there is great
Gear that serious clash may result.
Many Of them undoubtedly are bellig-
erent. They talk in boastful way to
the immigration officers and when
turned back at the border announce
they will come in some day whether
we want them or not.

in the location of that important ad-
junct. When the machine has been
placed it will be operated on a larger

it into billets at n operation. The
rolls will not only compress the soft
mass of small bits Of iron into n solid
mass, but the same rolls will convert
it into merchantable shape, at the

New York, Aug. 17.-Interest in the
telegraph strike centers today in the
probable effect of the general strike
order issued by President Small of
the national union, and which called
upon all operators employed by com
mercial telegraph companies, and
those working private and leased
wires, not under the control of the
companies, to go out.
Few Responses.
Throughout the east there have
been few, if any, responses to the call.
This is explained on the ground that
all operators who would strike had
already quit work. and here the strike
order was given Importance only as
a%ffording official sanction for action
already taken by the strikers without
previous approval or consultation Of
the national officers.
Western Unions Claim.
Both the Western Union and the
Postal companies claim not to have
been affected by President Small's call,
and to be working their wires better
today than Eve before since the
strike occurred. Business. it was said,
was again moving smoothly.
Associated Press Not Affected.
The Associated Press was not af-
fected at all, but, on the contrary,
several men who left the service in
the east returned to work after the
strike order had been promulgated.
The Associated Press today resumed
local service to a number of minor
points and the main circuits were
working as usual.

INTERVIEW BY ATTORNEY GEN.
ERAL BONAPARTE CAREFUL
LY PREPARED BY HIM.
SELF FOR PUBLIC.
Wall Streets Complaint That OFFICER
Had Been Treating Great Indus
trial and Financial Industries of
Country With FIippancy- viii
Continue to Enforce Laws as They
Are Found on Statute Books.

Special to The Republican.
Baltimore, Md, Aug. 1.-THE News
today printed an interview given its
Washington reporter by Attorney Cen
eral Bonaparte, which constitutes a re-
ply to the charges of Wall street, that
the attorney general had been treat
ing the great industrial and financial
industries of the country with flip
pancy. The interview is really a
statement, carefully prepared by Mr..
Bonaparte himself. In part he says:
enforcement Of Laws.
81 cannot understand how any sens
ing with matters of business by any
remarks which have been attributed
to me. l should say that business
men ought to wish to have the laws
strictly and impartially enforced. II
this is done, everyone knows what he
can do and what he cannot do, and
everyone has a fair field. with no
favors.
Intention of Department.
The department of justice intends
to precisely this and nothing more 1t
is required by law to enforce certain
penal statutes which make certain
forms of action crimes against the
United States, and also provide civil
remedies for such illegal actions. The
department since l have been at it's
head has never taken proceedings to
enforce laws without a very careful
preliminary investigation to determine
whether there was good reason to be-
lieve that the laws were in fact vic.
lated.
Some Violations Overlooked.
Moreover, it has consistently and
frequently overlooked merely formal
violations of the law, or violations at
tended with trivial consequences, and
has moreover refused to interfere in
such cases, which led to suspect that
it's Intervention was desired for the
purpose of furthering private ends.
Mode of Procedure.
IF the grounds of complaint against
the department are that it proposes
to punish prominent and wealthy men
or corporations having vast wealth and
engaged in very extensive business,
and these are shown to be willful and
persistent lawbreakers on a great
scale, and with grave injury to the pur-
poses of the law, l must admit that
these complaints are well founded.
That is precisely what the department
of justice is going to do, and while re-
naming its very unworthy head will
continue to do as far as it can"

CURIOUS FACTS
ABOUT DIVORCES.


Deputy Clerk Ihmsen Of the district
court, who has been preparing some
divorce statistics Of this county for
the federal government, finds that in
the past twenty years, the time to be
covered in his report to the bureau of
the census, there have been 240 d.
vorces, the greater number occurring
in 1895, n month in that year having
twenty cases to it's credit. OF the 240
divorces granted, nine-tenths were to
wives and three-fourths Of these on
the grounds of drunkenness and de-
sertion. Of the divorces to men, a
large proportion was on the ground Of
adultery. The fact that 1895 "a such
a prolific year is accounted for by an
attorney of the city on the ground
that the legal residence in the state
was only six months and that people
flocked here from all parts of the
country to take advantage of this law.
