ENGLAND FIGURES nv
POLICY OF JAPANESE
Count okuma lntImates That Great
Britain Has Had Something to
Do with Emigration
Affairs

BY Associated Press.
TOXIC, April 5.--A few days ago
Count Okuma received deputation
from the Japanese residents of Sacra-
mento, CAL. and from the japanese
newspapermen of San Francisco. who
wished to solicit his views on the emf
grafton problem.
The count is reported by the ver-
nacular papers to have said that it was
very difficult to find out wherein lay
the object of the dispatch of the Amer
lean battleship squadron to the Pacific
coast at this time. A good deal has
been made of the movement by the
European press and it was looked upon
there as an occurrence of unusual sig
nificance. Japan, however, had re-
ceived the assurance of the United
States government that it was not in
tended as menace to Japan, but was
merely undertaken for the purpose OF
training officers and men.
Nevertheless, whatever the real object
of the movement might be, it was in
disputable that Japan's emigration
policy had been considerably affected
thereby and it was not easy to sever
entirely the dispatch of the fleet from
the policy Japan had lately pursued to-
ward the United States in this connec-
ton. The analogous problem in the
dominion of Canada had likewise a
bearing upon the case. Canada is
British territory and Great Britain is
under obligations to protect the in l.
terests of her colony. The count was,
therefore. of the opinion that the
British government had rendered to
Toxic certain advice. either directly or
Indirectly, in view of which it had be-
come impossible for the Japanese gov
ernment to adhere strictly to what
might be termed a strong foreign
policy. and the country had been COM
PEELED to acquiesce to a certain extent
in the negotiations obtaining abroad.

OF BRITAIN
QUITS OFFICE
Campbell -BANNERMAN'S SENDS
RESIGNATION
Too III to Continue Work-Herbert
Asquith Likely to Succeed
Him--summoned by
King

By Associated Press
LONDON, April Sit was officially
announced that the king has accepted
Bannerman, the British prime minister.
Sir Henry's condition remains un-
changed, according to the physician's
bulletin posted today.
The king, in telegraphing his accept
ance of the premier's resignation. con-
veyed an expression of his regret and
esteem, with best wishes for Sir
Henry's recovery.
No further official announcement in
regard to cabinet changes has been
made. but the king has summoned Her
bert H. Asquith, chancellor of the ex-
chequer, and the latter will start for
Biarritz, where the king is sojourning,
tomorrow afternoon.
The chancellor. who has been acting
premier in place of Sir Henry Camp
bell -Bannerman, called a meeting of
the cabinet this morning to submit the
premier's resignation and discuss the
course of business.
Great Britain tonight is in q peculiar
position, being without either premier
or ministry. The long expected reslg-
nation of Sir Henry Campbell Banner
man, the prime minister, was officially
announced. According to the court cir
cular he resigned on the urgent recon-
mendation of his medical advisers. AS
the constitution of the country provides
no automatic successor, 1t resting with
the king to choose a new head of the
government, and in accordance with
custom and precedent, the whole cab
met resigns with the premier, no step
to appoint ministry can be taken until
Herbert II. Asquith, chancellor of the
oxcheoucr who has been summoned to
Biarritz, for the purpose, has seen the
king
The position of the country is quite
unprecedented, there being no previous
example of a change occurring in the
premiership while the sovereign was
abroad. On this account the course of
procedure to be followed is in some
doubt.
BIARRITZ, April 5.--A special cour-
jer arrived here today with the letter
of resignation from Sir Henry Camp
bell -Bannerman, the British prime
minister, 1t was announced later that
l>ing Edward has accepted the pre-
mier's resignation and has summoned
Herbert H. Asquith, chancellor of the
exchequer. to come at once to Biarritz.
IT is the understanding here that the
premiership will } oHered by the king

A Smart Englishman.
(London Answers. }

a tail, practical Englishman went
over to "the States" the other day
from London. He took lodgings at
an inn in a small village, which shall
be nameless. He had dinner, and
among those who sat at the table
with him was the waiting maid,
whom he designated as Servant"
but he received an indignaSt correc-
ton from the landlord.
I'VE call our servants, sir, helps
They are not oppressed; they are not
Russian serfs."
"All right" said the Britisher; 81
shall remember
awOke the whole house by calling
out at the top of his voice, which
was like the tearing of a strong rag:
Help, help! Water, water!"
In an instant every person equal
to the task rushed into his room with
pail of water.
81 am much obliged to you, l am
sure" he said, "but l don't want so
much water, you know. l only want
enough to shave with"
'Shave with" said the landlord.
what did you mean by calling:
Help! Water?' We thought the
house was atire"
"You told me to call the servant
help and l did. Did you think |
would cry 'water!' when ] meant
fire."
The explanation, it would seem,
was satisfactory, and he can call the
servants Servants" as much as he
likes at that place now.

Narrow Escape.

Jamestown-At the Arcade restau-
rant one of the employees had a very
narrow escape from serious injury
or possibly losing his life. He acct
dentally spilled a quantity of gaso-
line over his shirt and before 1t had
time to evaporate. 1t is said, he made
the remark, Il wonder If 1t will burn"
and touched a burning match to it.
The fumes at once ignited and in a
twinkling he was enveloped in flames
and before assistance reached him his
shirt was almost burned off. George
Cashion vas standing near by, ana
pulling of his coat wrapped it about
the man, smothering the flames. 1t
was lucky that Mr.. Cashion had the
presence of mind to throw his coat
over the man, otherwise he would un-
doubtedly have been burned to death.
He was not injured much.
