WIDELY PUBLISHED IN JAPAN
Dispatches Telling of Sentiment on
Pacific Coast.

Toxic, Feb. 1.-The Japanese news
papers continue to be filled with dis
patches emanating from San Fran
cisco, New York and London, indicat-
ing a serious increase of anti-Japanese
sentiment in the Pacific coast states,
which is said to be rapidly spreading
to interior states.
The Asahis San Francisco CORE
spondent has cabled to the paper al
legged statements and utterances OF
senators and others which are of a
most sensational character. The dis
patches state that all the Pacific
states are developing grave opposition
to the Japanese residents and urging
legislative measures which would de-
prive such residents of all rights
which enable them to reside and
transact business in these states.
The Hochi, which is>of the sensa-
tionalist press, makes heated and pas
sionate comments on the American
dispatches and concludes with the
Japanese proverb, Even Buddha loses
patience if his face is slapped thrice :
London dispatches also depict the
anti-Japanese situation In America as
grave.

walk Of life and are essential to permanent
success and creditable standing. Accor-
ingly, it is not claimed that Syrup Of Figs
and Elixir of SIENNA Is the only remedy Of
known value, but one of many reasons
why it is the best of personal and family
laxatives is the fact that it cleanses,
sweetens and relieves the internal organs
on which it acts without any debilitating
after effects and without having to increase
the quantity from time to time.
It acts pleasantly and naturally and
truly as laxative, and its component
parts are known to and approved by
physicians, as it is free from all objection

effects always purchase the genuine

Chicago, Feb. 9.--Admiral Robley
ID. Evans, who Is in Chicago to ap-

tain there will he no war between the
United States and Japan. His esti-
mate of the American-Japanese situa-
ton he put tersely.
II can't understand where this talk
of war can come FROM" he said
'War is a serious business. 1t is not
brought about by small and inconse
quential causes. The Japanese are q
keen people of high strung, nervous
temperament 1t is possible that they
resent the measures recently advo
Gated in California, but never to the
point of war.
There Is no doubt in my mind that
California is acting within its rights
when measures are adopted against
the japanese. But, of course, these
measures must be adopted with equal
force toward all aliens. And then
again, If any measure passed in Call
fornia interferes with national
treaty they instantly become void and
of no force

RAINEY IN ANANIAS CLUB
Illinois Congressman Latest Addition
to Membership.

Washington, Feb. 11.-Representa-
tive Rainey Gid, whose speech in the
house on the Panama canal purchase
has drawn forth a rebuke from the
state department in an official reply to
the Panama governments protest,
was inclined to assume that he had
been elected to the "Ananias club"
This was based on the statement in
Secretary Bacon's letter as to the
presidents view of Mr.. Rainey' s
speech. Mr.. Rainey made statement
in which he said that he did not ex-
pect President Obaldia of Panama or
President Roosevelt of the United
States to agree with him. He added
that it is only necessary to arrive at
some fact uncomplimentary to the
present administration to be elected
to the "Ananias club" provided the
candidate has the courage to make
the facts public.
