His Attitude on immigration Consid-
cred Little Short of Treason.

Tokio-UpoE the immigration com
panies' success in their campaign to
stir up opposition to the proposed Jap
anese-American immigration agree
ment depends the continued existence
OF the present cabinet.
That a resolution of censure will be
introduced in the diet seems certain,
and, while its defeat is still probable,
the margin will nssurcdly be so mar
row that the government can not con.
ceal its uneasiness.
The ministry is not Disgusting it's
anger at the attitude of former Ambas-
sador Aoki, who is openly accused o.
lending countenance to the anti-agree-
ment party. The government is said
to have known for some time that Aoki
has been friendly with the opposition
leaders, and it is to this that the press
is ~attributing the Mikado's failure to
grant him a personal audience or to
receive his personal report concerning
doings in Washington during the clos
ing days of his service there. The
snub is so marked that it can not be
overlooked, but, considering the off
cial position he held, the government
plainly considers his present attitude
as little short of treason to its inter-
est, and no attempt is made to conceal
the fact that his influence in official
circles is over.

GUARDING POWDER
U. s. NAVAL MAGAZINE AT foNA
ISLAND THREATENED.
MARINES WATCH EVERY APPROACH
Letter ~Forebodins Blowing Up of Over
Three Million Pounds Of Ex-
plosives is Received.

New York-In a letter signed
BLACK Hand and addressed to Com
mander Brausrueter, in charge of the
United States naval magazine at Iona
Island, the threat IS made that the
enormous stores of smokeless powder
on the island will be blown up unless
the married men discharged from en-
ployment on the island Jan. /. 1908,
be put back to work at once. There
are 100000 pounds of smokeless
powder and other explosives stored in
the numerous magazines.
Secret service men are working to
discover the identity of the writer Of
the letter. Printed by hand, the let
ter was inhaled at the Haverstraw
~postofice two weeks ago. 1t was as
follows:
IF the married men that were dis
charged from Iona Island are not
taken back again at once, all the mag
azines on the island will be blown up.
The writer does not fear death.
(Signed) BLACK Hand"
On Jan. l between 80 and 40 men,
civilians, who had been employed ON
the island, were discharged owing to
delay in forwarding funds from Wash
ington to continue work. This delay
was looked upon at the time as tenn
porary and it was understood the men
would be taken back as soon as the
money arrived.
Among the men discharged, most Of
whom were laborers, were many Ital-
ians and Sicilians.
Since the receipt of the letter every
approach to the island has been
guarded day and night by marines. 1t
is said, and the civilians employed
have been kept under the strict sur
vigilance.
Iona Island is seven miles south of
West Point.

HARTMAN WINS CONTEST.

Chicago-Control OF the Illinois Cen

cision been otherwise, $500, O00, 900
worth of Illinois stocks would have
been invalidated.
