THOMAS q. O'BEIEN. said on landing at San Francisco: "So far as my personal experience goes, have never received the slightest demonstration of i'll feel ing on the part of the Japanese toward Americans. There is no antI-Americn feeling. Complaints have been made by Americans that the Japanese man. agcmcut of the MauchUrim railroad has indulgcd in a system of robbing and of rcbatng detrimental to Ameri- can traders. The Japanese do practice rebatIng, just as we did up to a recent date, but the Americans have not been particularly dIscrimluated against be- cause they were Americans.
 "There is a great deal of talk about the reception to be given the fleet, Its coming cannot but help to do q great deal of good for both countries. The Japanese fleet will be mobllized in Tokyo waters all the time of the visit This action of the Japanese should not be looked upon in any other light than as courtesy to the visitors. In fact the visit of the fleet colncides with the period set aside for the annual review of the Japanese warships. England [ Intends to mobilize her ships in Aslatic waters iN tho same manner when the fleet visits Australia for the purpose of escortlng Uncle SOm's fighting ma chimes Into Sydney"
 Speaking of emigration, Mir OBrien said he believed that Japan was sin. cere in its desire to preserve the home policy of dlsconunuIng immigration of It's citizens to America.

Unusual Good Fortune Comes
To Joseph Kramer, Fac

UNCLE REMEMBERED HIM.
FEW LITTLE FAVORS SHOWN
THE MAN WHEN HE WAS A WIS.,
lTOR IN THE UNITED STATES
TOUCHED HEART OF OLD MAN.

BY the death of a rich uncle in Rou-
mania, Joseph Kramer. young man
who has been employed at a local hat
factory. has fallen heir to d fortune
estimated at 100000 Mr.. Kramer's
home is in Brooklyn, New York. He
has left for Brooklyn and intends go
ing TO ROumania to attend the settle
ment of the affairs of the estate.
Kramer attributes the remembrance
Of his uncle to kindnesseS shown him
by the nephew upon the occasion of
time ago.
Mr. Kramer received word of the
death of his uncle while visiting a
cousin at Wabash, Ind. The informal
tiOn borne to him was to the effect
that his uncle, MOsha Kopstein. had
died at his home in ROumania and had
wtlled all his wealth, approximately
a half million dollars to him.
When the European visited America
he called upon Mr.. Kramer who WAS
residing at Brooklyn at the time The
nephew spent his entire time showing
the visitor the sights of Brooklyn and
New York. The Roumanian was a
flour merchant in his home country

ITALY Is VERY INDULGENT.
TAKING ADVANTAGE OF INTER.
NATIONAL SITUATION. BUT
ITALIANS HAVE SAID NOTHING

Rome April @n-The Turkish am
bassador has informed the foreign min
lister Fittori. that the Turkish govern
ment has given its consent to the open
ing of an Italian postofficc in Turkey.
and the sailing Italian fleet for dem
onstration on the Turkish coast has
been postponed Turkey, however. has
not given full satisfaction. The Ital-
ian squadron under command of Admi-
raj +. Grenet was scheduled to put out
today for the purpose of making a
demonstration in Turkish waters. The
squadron comprises eleven warships
and includes the battleship Regina Ell
ena. commanded by the duke of the
Abruzzi Altogether the vessels car
ry 5,095 men, and their intended OBJ
jective point was Asia Minor. some
700 miles away.
The difficulty between the two ma
tiOns arose out of the refusal of the
Turkish government to permit the in
stallatiOn of Italian pOStOffCes in Turk
ish territory. while at the same time
other foreign nations have established
and are conducting postoffices there
without interference
Considerable irritation has been felt
over the murder of an Italian mission
AIRY in TripOli and the persecution by
the Ottoman authorities of natives
who have sold land to the natives. but
the present action of the italian gov
ernment is based primarily on the
pOstUffice question.
For years it has been felt in govern
ment circles in Rome that Turkey has
been taking advantage of the interna-
tiOnal situation 10 act in a highhanded
manner toward Italians. showing but
little respect for Italian rights This
government, it is stated has been in.
dulgent. not wishing 10 cause cOmpli-
cations which might endanger the ac-
cord of the powers with regard TO the
Ottoman or the kalkan problems.
