OF TEDDY DOOMED ID
 FAILURE
He Can Not Hope to Effect Peaceful Relations With Ja- pan If Exclusion of CooIies Is Considered.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. B.
 President Roosevelt's plan for ami
 cably adjusting all differences be-
 tween the United States and Japan, with the view to excluding coolies, is doomed to certain failure. He will never be able to obtain the ratiflca- ' ton of a treaty barring American
 workmen from Japan.
 | The president has made his calcu- | lations on the theory that as no American laborers go to Japan there will be no objection to having the clause inserted in the treaty provid- l ing for their exclusion. This will be reciprocal for the exclusion of Japan csc coolies.
 It has already become self-eyident that the senate will refuse 70 approve any convention in which distinctions between American citizens are made There might be no opposition to the exclusion of all Americans, but there will be determined antagonism to bar ring of workmen and admitting mil lionaires and other high grade trav- elers. As there are no class distinc- tions in this country there would be tremedous popular outcry having tlem OenneO ID treaty.
 It is doubtful whether any senator would dare vote for the ratification of such a convention and then appeal to his people for reelection. The complete exclusion of all Americans would be accepted with but little less resentment.
 It is apparent the president will not be able to make good his promise to the California delegation in congress and which will be repeated the last of this week to the visitors from San Francisco who arc now enroute to this city for a conference that satisfactory treaty can be negotiated within thirty days. If the principle of reciprocal exclusion Is the basis for the proposed treaty it will never be approved by the senate. If it is abandoned there is no other conces- sion which can be offered in exchange for the exclusion of Japanese laborers.
 The president is said to have been giving some encouragement that a treaty along the lines indicated might be approved by the senate, but there are many senators who unhesitatingly declare that this is absolutely impos- sible. The same degree of impossibil- ity applies to the exclusion of Ameri- can workingmen by an imperial edict, if that method is chosen to prevent the coming of coolies to this country. The one plan would be as distasteful as the other
 Several members of the senate for eign relations committee have already been consulted by the president re- garding the scope of a treaty between the United States and Japan. r
 The president has told these Sena- tors he will at the beginning placate Japan as recognizing the principle that she is as fully an equal in all re- spects with the United States. He win sugges; that all concessions be reciprocal He will offer the exclu- sion of American laborers from Japan in return for the exclusion of coolies from the United States.
 He will propse the inability of fed eral government to control the action of state in educational affairs shal! be offset by conceding the right of any Japanese province to prevent the attendance of American children at it's schools. The president Is particu- larly anxious to avoid any direct ref erence to the school in question in the treaty and will avert it if possible. He hopes to reach an agreement in gen eral terms for each country 10 deal with aliens and their families accord ing to their own policy.
 While ignoring the anti-Japanese feeling in a portion of the American press, the Japanese public are almost unanimous In demanding that the so- lution of the San Francisco school question must not involve the labor question. A mutual treaty. restrict ing the immigration of laborers. is condemed here as a one-sided conces- sion, sacrificing Japanese honor with out any recompense whatever: It is felt. that even with the United States nothing derogatory to National honor. however slight, must be admitted in diplomatic relations of both nations.
