CANADA AND

IMMIGRATION QUESTION is
SETTLED
Mikado's Representative Promises to
Restrict Influx of Orientals
Through Dominion
Ports
BY Associated Press.

OTTAWA, Ont, Jan. 21.-Postmas-
ter General Lemieux, in the house to-
day, made report ON his recent mis-
sion to Toxic.
Mr.. Lemieux declared that as a re-
suit of his negotiations with the mi
kados government an effective check
had been put upon emigration of Jap
anese from Hawaii to Canada. and that
he received Assurances the Japanese
government was not only anxious to
meet Canada's wishes in the matter of
restricting direct emigration, but he
regarded such emigration as an econ
omic loss to Japan. whose policy Of
colonization is confined to Korea and
Manchuria.
Mr.. Lemieux then dealt with public
opinion in Japan Being a proud and
sensitive people, he said the Japanese
cannot admit that todays racial preju-
dices will last forever. Japan claims
that her standard of civilization is on
a par with those of western nations.
and the crux of the Japanese griev-
ances against not only Canada but the
United States, is that America admits
immigrants from Europe, but shuts the
door upon japanese.
This the Japanese say is a fragrant
contravention of the treaty in which
they are guaranteed equal treatment
with that accorded subjects of all other
countries. They regard it as an as
persion on their nationality. and will
not be satisfied until the discriminating
treatment is abolished.
LET me now refer to the negotia-
tons so far as 1 am authorized to make
them public" said Mr.. Lemieux. "But
one must bear in mind that the ques-
ton at issue is one affecting not only

new arrangement is on satisfactory
and permanent basis.
The document containing this assur-
ance is dated at Toxic. December %.

foreign minister. 1t says:
I'm rerly TO your note of even date

the existing treaty between Japan and
Canada absolutely guarantees to jap
anese subjects full liberty to enter,
travel and reside in any part of the
Dominion of Canada, yet 1t is not the
intention of the imperial government
to insist upon the complete enjoyment
of the rights and privileges guaran-
teed by the stipulations when they
would involve disregard of special con-
ditions which may prevail in Canada
from time to time.

of Cruelty to Natives In the
Philippines


BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.-A resolution
by Mr.. Mccall of Massachusetts, call
ing on the secretary of war to explain
1.-The preparation of certain outrages
in the Philippines" was Offered in tho
house today.
The resolution cites the Manila Opin-
ion, an American newspaper, issue OF
December T. 1907, as authority for the
statement that in the previous May, 'in
the course of an attempt to capture or
kill one Isio, alleged to be leader Of
Ladrones, Capt. Walter A. Smith,
senior inspector o. the constabulary OF
Negroes, issued headquarters orders to
Lieut.. Bringlof TIC lay waste by fire and
sword all the country around Marasch,

captured prisoners to Lieut.. Mohler for
work and to take lots of ammunition
and kill everything that runs from the
constabulary except women and chill
dren."
Mr.. McCall's resolution requests the
secretary of war to furnish "any infor-
nation he may have touching the is
suance of such orders, and If such or
ders were issued to inform the house
by what authority of law and what, il
any, steps have been taken to punish

PORTLAND. Ore. Jan. 21.-A special
to the Oregonlan from Fort Stevens.
Ore. says: Much CONSERVATION was
caused today by the capture of two
Japanese who were found lettering in
the west battery OF Fort Stevens.
1.-THE sentry, while walking his post
to the west battery, suddenly came
upon two Japanese who were walking
upon the parapet of the battery. AS
this place is rarely visited except by
special permission from the district
artillery commander, the sentry hid be-
hind a sentry box and watched their
movements. Seeing them point to the
different guns and emplacements and
looking over the situation in general,
the sentry TOOK them into custody and
marched them back to the main post.
They were then interviewed by the dis
trict adjutant, Lieut.. B. p. Kerfoot,
who could obtain no satisfactory ex-
plantations for their trespassing. AL
though nothing of an discriminating ma
ture could be found upon their persons,
indications are that they were at the
post for the purpose of obtaining plans
and sketches of the different fortifi-
cations and modes of defense.
The japanese were well dressed and
seemed to be above the average in APP
pearance and intelligence. The fact of
their being in the west battery. prob
ably the most important battery at
the rivers mouth. makes the situation
more serious than it would other
wise be.
The battery consists of six ten-inch
rifles and two six-inch rapid fire guns,
and is considered to be one of the most
potent factors in the defense of this
part of the coast.

MAJOR GENERAL BELL ASKS
FOR AN INCREASED ARMY
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.-Maj. Gen.
Bell, chief of staff, in the course Of his
annual report, filed today, said:
when the canteen was I'm operation
there were fewer assertions, fewer
fines and forfeits imposed by sentence
of court martial, less alcoholism and
less disease than prior to its establish
ment. The morals and discipline of the
army have suffered, though of course
no one should be SO narrow as to ascribe
to the abolition of the canteen feature
all evil affects observable"
Gen. Bell makes strong plea for the
creation of a reserve of $4,000 men, to
be paid from $24 to SS2 per annum and
to be held subject to call, with ten days
training each year.
Gen. Bell also urged an increase OF
army pay, provision for extra officers
and enlargement of the coast artillery
and the medical corps. The report en-
bodies a complete plan for the reorgan-
ization of the army so as to permit the
mobilization OF $1,000 men without de-
nuding every military station.

TOXIC, Jan. 21.-Viscount Hayashi,

in an interview today made a state
ment concerning the emigration ques-
ton, which may be considered as an
official declaration of the attitude of

diet. Minister Hayashi said;
1.-THE government of Japan is de-
termined to investigate the personal
standing of those who go to America
as students, requiring two suretieS for
each before they leave. We realize that
the emigration of laborers pretending
to be students is liable to be embar-
RAISING to America, and therefore we
are determined to prevent the emigra-
ton of laborers.
while the proposed restrictions may
be embarrassing to real students, all
legal restrictions will be made alike,

Because of the objections of the
Bethlehem institute people the police
board yesterday laid over for a week a
request TO transfer a saloon from
North Main street to a corner of the
Llewellyn iron works property. The
place belongs to John Berg.
Fire recently destroyed the old place
and it is proposed to put up a new
building, If the board grants the per-
NIT, directly opposite the iron works
and near the DR.. Bartlett institutional
work headquarters.
The following protest was sent to the
police board
a petition will be pfesented you
asking your consent to the trans
fer of saloon license from the
southeast corner of Redondo and
North Main streets to a location
at or near the northwest corner Of
North Main street.
On behalf of the men who have
found a home at the Bethlehem
institution on the southwest COR
ner of Railroad and North Main
streets we earnestly and strenu-
ously protest against the location of
a saloon at the place mentioned.
While we do not wish to lay any
special stress upon the property
d4mage which will be sustained by
the Bethlehem institutions, some
regard should be paid to it.
Bethlehem will be more damaged
than any other property owner in
the neighborhood, and 1t is ques-
tionable whether the signers of the
petition viii be damaged at all.
There is, however, far greater
reason why we oppose the placing
of a saloon under the shadow of our
building, and that is the effect,
moral and physical, it will have
upon the men who have no home
but the one provided for them by
this institution.

BLAMES EMPLOYERS
FOR MINE HORRORS

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Jan. 21.--The
nineteenth annual convention or the
United Mine Workers of America
opened today with 1000 delegates, repre-
senting the anthracite and bituminous
coal mining districts of the country.
The convention will remain In session
probably until after January 30, on
which date the miners and operators of
the central competitive field Will meet
In conference to discuss the revival o.
the interstate wage agreement.
Should the operators decline to meet
with the miners the convention will
then determine upon the organization
future course.
The convention has especial interest
as marking the official retirement of
President Mitchell, who has been at
the head of the organizations for nine
years and seven months. His term Will
expire April /. On account of i'll health
he declined to stand for reelection.
President Mitchell was loudly cheered
when ne entered the hall today.
In his report Vice President Lewis,
speaking of mine disasters, said:
with no organization the individual
miner who complains that the mining
laws are not enforced is discharged.
The miner may know that he is IN con-
slant danger of death on account of the
neglect of mine owners; the same
miner runs the risk of his life rather
than his job. The miner is prevented
from organizing by the intimidation of
thU operators.
HE is prevented from organizing by
the Injunction of federal judges. He
cannot insist on the enforcement of the
mining laws, because he has no union
to protect him. In event of an ex-
plosion in a mine, under those condi-
lions, 1 would ask in all seriousness
who is responsible for the loss of the
miners lives?"
Mitchell Given $1,000
President Mitchell OF the Mine Work
ers made perhaps the most eloquent
speech of his life this afternoon when
he was forced to accept gift OF $2IOO
rendered him by the miners of Mon
tana and Wyoming as a token of their
appreciation of his efforts to make
their condition better
Mr.. Mitchell arose with tears III his
ewes. and he spoke with emotion.

Montana and Wyoming. | cannot ex-
