 Washington, June 3.-Ambase alor Takahira has called at the White Eoues officially and there made most positive statement to the President that Japan had accepted the immigra. ton rulings of the United States will iagly, and that his government was doing everything in its power to check the immigration to thi, country of it's laboring classes.
 Marshall Shoup has announced his intention to fill the vacancy created by the resignation of Deputy Marshal Campbell by the appointment of Mir. D. c. Abrams to that important posi- tion. Mir. Abrams has been connected with another branch of the govern ment service for many years and is well known here as deputy clerk of the Court. He has had long acouaint- ance with Alaskan conditions, and is
 lrea ady familiar with the duties of his new office. As he is q man whose personal character and record are above reproach, he wlll undoubtedly make conscientious and thoroughly efficient officer, and The Miner con- rgatulates him on his appointment, which, though still prospective, is entirely assured.
