Washington Especially That the
Japanese OF tho Pacific Coast, and
De frogressives, a political party
Bf Japan, have entered into an al
dfance, which has the earmarks of
Nm international conspiracy, with the
overthrow of the present ministry
IN Japan and the annulment of the
elause in the immigration Bill ex-
aluding Japanese coolie labor from
continental United States as the ulti-
mate objects, was learned authori-
tatively here Sunday.
The preliminary steps in this
scheme, it is said, will be to induce
The Toxic government TO recall Wis.,
count Aoki, the japanese ambassa-
dor TO the United States, and to de-
piand an apology and perhaps an in
demnity from this government Tor
the alleged acts of violence against
Japanese subjects residing in San
francisco.
With this end in view representa-
lives of the faction hostile to the
Baionji ministry have been in Wash
mgton to consult with the japanese
Ambassador and the State Depart
ment officials regarding the objec-
uonable clause in the immigration
Bill, the California school question
and the recent riots in San Fran
cisco.
To Stir Up Trouble.
The report which they have sent
to Toxic, it is alleged, will form
the basis of a systematic campaign
to bring about anti-American demon
Btretions IN Japan and to force For
eign Minister Hayashi, IL possible, to
demand indemnity and an apology
on account of the Japanese disturb
ances in San Francisco.
These facts became known for the
FIRST time when 1t was learned that
II. Takahashi, representative of the
Seattle Japanese Society; o. Noda,
representative of the San Francisco
Japanese Society, and K. Kawakami,
staff representative of the YoroZu
(daily newspaper) of Toxic, came to
Washington on April 81 and re-
NAMED until May 10, during which
time they were negotiating with the
Japanese Ambassador looking to the
annulment of the japanese 1mmigra-
ton Limitation Law.
This delegation failed in its pur-
pose, and, il is stated. after charging
Ambassador Aoki with treachery to
japanese of the Pacific Coast and
with misrepresenting conditions to
his home government, they tele-
graphed to Ototaka Yamaoka, the
personal representative of Count
Okuma, who was awaiting their re-
port in Seattle, Wash, with the re-
quest that he communicate with the
anti-administration leaders in Toxic.
Forcing the Fight.
Messrs. Takahashi, Noda and Ka-
wakami had an interview with AS
sistant Secretary of the State Bacon
on May s. They then telegraphed
Yamaoka that they were dissatisfied
with the attitude of the State De-
parment and the Japanese Embassy,
and urged the necessity of carrying
the fight to Japan. Acting upon this
suggestion, Yamaoka sailed for ia
pan on May IA on the steamship Aki
and It was pointed out the renewal
of the anti-American agitation in the
Japanese press has begun since his
arrival in Toxic on May %.
IL 10 dlSO btlltNNu iANAN Nuehl LN
prompted the deputation of Progress
.sives to call on Foreign Minister
Hayashi for an explanation of the
governments apparent inaction and
want of efficiency in the presence ot
the grave diplomatic questions will
the United States"
The report which Yamaoka carried
TO the older statesmen, it is further
believed here, is responsible for the
attitude of the opposition newspapers
In urging the concentration of ia
panese national efforts toward the
settlement of the San Francisco
question by forcing an apology from
this government for the alleged in
suits growing out Of the school ques
tion and the recent attack on the
Japanese restaurants.
