PRESIDENT IS GRATIFIED.
Expresses Satisfaction Over the Vote
in California Legislature.

Senator Nixon of Nevada told the Presi-
dent today that he was confident that the
lanti-Japanese resolutions before the
Nevada legislature would not be passed.
He had received information to that effect
and told the President that the Informal
ton was trustworthy The President was
not only glad to get the information, but
expressed his satisfaction with the sue
cessfu efforts that had apparently been
made. The President likewise expressed
his satisfaction with the action of the
California legislature in defeating the
Drew resolutions, the mldest of the anti
Japanese measures before that body.
Both Senator Nixon and Senator New
lands of Nevada went to work yesterday
morning after comforting with the Presi-
dent and sent kilograms to the leaders of
the legislature. In this way they reached
both democrats and republicans.
The belief is expressed by the President
that the anti-Japanese outbreaks at least
of legislative character, are now sup
pressed. He did have some fears as to
Idaho following the lead of California
and Nevada. but he has anticipated this
by putting Senator Borah to work in adj
vance.

SHOCK TO THE JAPANESE
NEVADA RESOLUTION ASTON
IsHES TOXIC OFFICIALS.
Expected to Arouse Excited Com
ment When Text Becomes Known
to the Public.

TOXIC, February 4-No comment has
on the anti-Japanese resolution now be-
fore the Nevada legislature and the mat
ter was but briefly mentioned in the spe-
cial press dispatches. The full text of the
resolution has been officially cabled to
the foreign office. however, where it was
received with expressions of astonish-
ment
Leading men Of the capital who have
been interviewed on the subject. while
they are evidently deeply wounded by the
attitude taken in Nevada, refrain from
making any comment further than to
say: Nevada is not America.
AS the full text of the resolution is
known to not more than dozen persons
in Japan at present, however. 1t IS Inn
possible to foretell what the general view
in regard to it will be when 1t Is pub
lished. 1t undoubtedly will draw excited
comment from the Japanese lingo press and
politicians, but the leading papers and the
people of Japan as a whole never express
their feelings even under the strongest
provocatlon.
The letters interchanged on the anti
Japanese matter by President Roosevelt
and Gov Gillett Of California have been
published in full by the Japanese news
pers. and appear to afford great saliS-
faction. Official expression as Wen DIS tue
editorial stand taken by the press is one
of gratitude at the attitude of the ma
tional government in America.
The news of the action taken by the
New York and San Francisco business
men in declaring against the proposed
anti-Japanese measures introduced i'll the
California legislature is received with
great pleasure here.
A high official of the government said
today:
Our confidence in the fairness and
Justice of the real American people Will
remain mistaken through a stronger test
than the action of few men VINO do not
really represent the sentiment of the pup
lie. In Nevada, California and elsewhere
We believe that the true sentiment OF the
people is voiced by President Roosevelt
and the leading statesmen and business
men The real danger of such utterances
as those contained in the Nevada resoiu-
ton and similar ones made by persons
who entirely misunderstood japanese hes
in the effect they may have on the lgnor-
ant people of both Japan and America.
The intelligence of the countries should
be exercised TO muZZle the ignorant and
vicious press and individuals.
Leading foreigners and diplomats III
Toxic deplore the present agitation in
America for the reason that they believe
that it may seriously hamper American
trade in Japan and possibly throw diftl-
culties in the way of new treaties be-
tween the two countries.

TWO AMENDMENTS PROPOSED.
Constitutional Changes to Be Con-
sidered by Chamber of Commerce.

At the meeting of the Chamber of
Commerce TO be held Tuesday evening
next two amendments to the constitu-
ton will be voted upon One of them
is offered by Allen d. Albert jr.. and
will prohibit members from voting. who
have not paid dues for the half year
current at the time ballots are cast at
the annual meeting.
The other amendment is offered by
Granville Hunt. and provides that all
nominating speeches for candidates for
office shall be made d week prior to the
annual meeting, that the presidents re-
port shall be read at the same meeting
with the nominating speeches. and that
the polls shall be open on the day of the
annual meeting from noon until s pm.
This will eliminate the discomfort of
having several hundred ballots checked
off and cast within hours time as
was necessary at the last annual meeting
of the chamber.

UTAH NOT CONCERNED.
No Anti-Japanese Legislation Likely
to Be Introduced.

SALT LAKE February A careful
canvass of business members of the legis-
lature thought to be proLabor in senti-
ment indicates that there will be no
legislation affecting japanese passed at
this session So far as can be learned
there is no likelihood that anti-Japanese
legislation will even be introduced.
In Utah there is little, if any, anti
Japanese sentiment Many of that ma
tionality are employed on the railroads
and in the beet fields of the state. and
their employment in these capacities is
quite generally accepted as a matter OF
course Even public contractors on
municipal work in Salt Lake employ
Japanese. and they work side by side
with laborers of other nationalities with
out comment or discrimination.

Reporter says of Grant county's

mayor J. L. Harris, in few we'll
chosen words, introduced Hon. Thad
l., Fuller, states attorney of Grant
county, who made the address of the
day. Mr.. Fuller is considered one Of
the very best platform speakers in
South Dakota. He has most pleas
ing appearance, remarkable voice,
splendid delivery and is we'll educ at
ed. and has the happy faculty of say
ing the right thing in the right place.
He was at his best when here last Sat-
urday and he held the large audience
for an hour listening most intensely;to
his clog dent lesson in patriotism and
all were very sorry that he would no,
continue his address for another hour.
1t was said by those who are authori.
ty upon such matters that Mr.. Fuller's
address was the best Fourth of July
address ever given in Webster"
