WHITE HOUSE CONFERENCE
JAPANESE GOVERNMENT LOOK
ING ON WITH UNcoNcERN.

salem. Ore, Feb. s.-Indications are
that more anti-Japanese bills will APP
pear in the oregon legislature. The
Bailey resolution. which memorializes
congress to extend the present exclu-
sion act 50 as the include Hindus, Jap
anese and all other Asiatics, views
with alarm" the present talk of repeal
IF the law. and urges congress to taks
some action which will stop the influx
of Asiatics who, the resolution says.
are invading the Pacific coast states by
the thousands, and who. it declares,
lower the standard OF American living
and do not sssimiiate with the Cauca-
an race. This resolution is expected
to Eass the senate but with few dis
senting votes, and to meet similar sue
cess in the house.
Another snti-Japanese bill is said to
be in preparation and is expected to be
introduced during the coming week.
This bill prohibits the future acquisi-
ton for real holdings by all Asiaties
including Japanese. though il VIII not
affect present Oriental property own
ers. What disposal will be made Of this
bill is more OF a problem. While the
memorial to congress is practically no
different from those which bob up at
nearly all sessions, and would attract
little attention were il not for the pres
ent agitation on the subject, the bill
restricting ownership is a new and rad
zeal departure, and its reception by the
legislators is an unknown quantity.

of the press. it is quite evident that tbs
recent action of the California and Ne
Vada legislatures has created a feeling
among commercial men, and even in
the official element, which is calculated
to damage the position of the United
States with Japan. which formerly was
becoming steadily stronger. Reports
emanating from correspondents of Jap
anese newspapers. with the exception
of the Ichi, DempO and Jill, have Gre
ated a deep effect upon the masses of
the japanese. the newspaper bulletin
boards are continually surrounded By
readers of the lower classes whose Sc
riouS faces and coN;ment show the eff
feet of the news contained in the dis
patches from the United States. Even
among the better classes, the japanese

grin at the response of the United
States to Japan's hospitality to the Of

STORM IN THE SOUTH.
More Than Dozen Persons Killed
and Many Injured.

Atlanta, Ga. Feb. 6.-The storm which
passed over Mississippi Alabama and
Georgia yesterday in numerous sections
reached the proportions of a tornado. Re
ports received up to today tell of the
death of more than dozen persons, witt
the fatal iniuring of almost as many
more. and serious injury to many others
in the states named, and II is believed
that reports from the devastated district
today will greatly increase the number
Of fatalities
The storm center Travelled east from
north Texas and appears to have wrought
the greatest havoc in northern Alabama,
although high winds prevailed ahrough-
out the length and breadth Of that state,
reaching a velocity of forty-six miles per
hour as far south as Mobile. where a tor
rental rain was accompanied by hail.

Recent dispatches from Picking set forth
that Chen ri had been impea ched on
charges of corruption The recent failure
of the board of communications to float
a domestic loan of $4,000 for the pur-
pose of paying the shareholders of the
National Telegraph system, embarrassed
the government seriously and Chen Pi in
December began negotiations with Brit
tsh, French, German and Japanese bank
ers for this money. The terms imposed
were described as humilIating to the cen
trial government. Chen Pi is the second
high official to be dismissed from office
since the death of the emperor and dow
ager empress of China last November
His dismissal follows that of Yuan Shi
kai. a member of the grand council by
about five weeks.
Chen Pi is q native of Peking. He is a
Metropolitan graduate of 1871. and he has
held various public offices, including the
governorship of Picking, since 1901.

Events in the United States Not
Likely TO Provoke a Rupture,

Toxic. Feb. 6.-The passage by the
lower house of the Nevada legislature
or an anti-Japanese resolution was re-
celved here with remarkable indiffer
ehce. Inc publication of the text of
the resolution aroused active resent
ment only in the columns of the sec
ond-rate press. The leading newspa-
pers, in commenting on the resolution.
pointed out the fact that Nevada Wa.
a small state and did not necessarily
represent the sentiment of the Ameri-
can people.
Foreign Minister Komura, in address
ing the house of lords today, repeated
verbatim the speech he made in the
diet few days ago. His remarks
caused no discussion

Press Not Excited.

The absence Of extended comment on
the situation in the japanese newspa-
peTs IS believed to be due to the re-
ported action of the California legis-
lature in defeating the Drew anti-alien
land bill, and also TO the resolutions of
the New York board of trade and Pres
ident RoOscvelts letters and telegrams
to Governor Gillett, all of which have
been fully reported TO the local press
The leading newspapers today COM
ment favOrably on the present aspect
OF the situation. The ASahi says that
Notwithstanding many misunderstand-
lngs, the relations of America and ia
pan remain unimpa red. The Hochi
one of the papers which has most Bit
terly denounced the action of the Cali
fornta legislature, congratulates japan
on the maintenance of good relations
with the United States, and says that
it would be matter for deep regret if
the action of a minority of the people
of California should cripple the com
mercia1 and diplomatic relations of the
two countries. The Hochi declares that
it is evident the present disturbance is
only temporary.

full attack upon Confederate positions
which baffled the advance Of Thomas
troops.
The time was August, and the heavy,
Sitting atmosphere inclined the men OF
both armies to suspend activity. The
stiffness Of death reigned everywhere
except around the isolated battery on
the mountain top. There the gunners
moved with the grim energy of SOL
diers facing crisis. Guns were
trained up9 the most conspicuous and
vulnerable targets. Sherman and his
lieutenants stood apart, scanning with
fieldglasses the camps where the shots
were to strike.
At last the signal was given. Bat
terymen went forward to pull the Ian
yards and send the shots home, when
attention was diverted by the soft
pealing tones Of a bell trembling on
the heavy air across the valley. Loud
er and still louder the measured
chimes sounded over the city, over the
camps, up to the mountain crest Sher-
man raised a warning finger to gum
ners, who looked into the eyes Of their
officers for explanation Of this strange
gesture. The officers, equally nom
plused, looked to the generals, and
Sherman spoke out calmly, but In
tones for all to henf Gentlemen, we
will not open fire today" Then, turn
ing to the chief Of artillery, he said, in
the same quiet tones, General Bran
nan, you will open fire tomorrow"
