INSISTS JAPs ARE LEAVING.


Secretary Straus Gives Statistics O
immigration and Emigration.
Washington, Jan. 80. Secretar
straus forwarded letter to Senate
Frank P. Flint, of California, discuss
ing the statistics Of the department 0
commerce and labor covering the i'm
migration Of Japanese to the Unite,
States and the emigration Of Japanes
from the United States. Mr.. Strau
says;
You will observe that the entir.
number (Japanese) admitted was IL.
Alb for the calendar year 1907, while
the entire number admitted was bur
4477 for the calendar year 1903. Yos
viii also bear in mind that the execu
tive order OF the president was ISSUED
on March IA, 1907, but it took con.
siderable time to prepare regulations
and put them into effect and for the
department Of state, both here anc
| through our ambassador to Japan, tc
arrive at definite understanding with
the Japanese government.
II desire Furthermore TO direct your
attention to the fact that the entire
immigration for the year beginning
with November i, 1907, and ending
with October 81. 1908, was 6o17,
while the departures for the same De-
riod were $500, leaving an increase OF
immigration Of Japanese for that year
Of 1856.
1T Is further to be observed that,
beginning with the month of June.
1908, to October, 1903, the emigration
OF Japanese from the United States
exceeded the immigration to the Unit
ed States by 1912, showing distinctly
that the trend OF the migration of jap
anese is from the United States. 1t il
further shown by the marked decrease
Of immigration during the months re-
ferred to OF 1908 as compared with the
same months of 1907.
THE press reports which / have
seen contain statements made by some
of your people in California that these
figures are inexact. | desire emphat-
ically to state that they are absolutely
Soileet, anu Inc PROOF tnereOT, which
Is on file in the department, clearly
demonstrates the accuracy of the lig-
ures.
IT has further been intimated, as
see from reports, that there is large
surreptitious influx of Japanese over
the Mexican and Canadian borders. I
am justified in saying that this is not
true, for obvious reasons. That there
are some few scattered surreptitious
entries is quite probable, but The sum
is so small that it cannot be consequent
tial.
Finally wish to call your atten-
tion to the fact, which the statements
above are forced to Indicate. that the
arrangements which have been called
the 'gentlemen's agreement we have
with Japan, In my judgment, are work
ing more effectively than would result
from any restrictive laws, because of
the effective embargo japan has placed
on the departure of her subjects from
Japan

RAGING BLIZZARD
SWEEPS PRAIRIES
Middle West in the Grip Of Binding
Snow Storm.
Drifts Block All Railroad LInes--Ice
Breaks Telegraph Wires and Cuts
Off All Communication Rotary
Pows Are PowerIess- Cold IN
tense and Still Increasing.

Denver, Jan. 20.--From ii O'Clock
last night until o'clock today almost
the entire country west Of the Missouri
river was cut off from telegraphic COM
munication with the outside world as
the result of rain, snow and sleet
storm, accompanied by wind of al
most cyclonic violence that swept over
Colorado, Kansas and Nebraska last
night, and then continued its work of
destruction eastward.
In Colorado, where the storm has
been raging for several days in the
mountains and along the west slope,
railroads are blocked by drifts which
have rendered even the big rotary
plcws powerless, and big snowslides
are reported from all directions. High
winds are piling up the drifts in the
mountains and adding to the difficulties
of the railroads.
In the Telluride and San Juan dis
tTicts OF Southwestern Colorado many
mines have been forced to close because
Of the lack of fuel and supplies. A
slide that wrecked section of the Tel
lurIde Power company's lines put a
dozen mines and mills in the Savage
basin out of commission.
The Denver & Rio Grande and Moffat
roads are having much trouble with
drifts Bitterly cold weather is re-
ported from some points, Telluride re-
porting 16 below.
Passenger trains from the East on
the Union Pacific, Santa Fe, Rock Is
land and Burlington roads are all late,
and passengers report that the wind
blew at the rate of 10 miles an hour
across the Kansas and Nebraska prair-
les over which they came.
The storm started throughout East
ern Kansas and Eastern Nebraska last
night with thick fog. Later this
turned to rain and then, as the cold
wave and strong north wind swept
across the Kansas and Nebraska
prairies, the wires rapidly became
coated with ice and one by one snapped
under the burden. Apparently the
storm increased in intensity as it sped
across Missouri and Iowa, and this
morning neither the Western Union
nor Postal Telegraph companies had
wire working into Chicago from Den
yer. Neither company has any infor-
nation regarding the extent of the
storm east of the Missouri river.
The Gunnison branch of the Colorado
d Southern railroad is practically tied
up by the blizzard raging in the region

JEROME WILL INVESTIGATE.
SAYS Panama Canal Scandal Is Cas-
for State.


New York, Jan. 27. The possibility
of the federal authorities having e
stand aside to permit the state arc
county of New York to proceed agalnsl
the publishers of the New York Worlc
for alleged libel in connection with the
Panama purchase was made apparent
today In letter written by District
Attorney Jerome to United States Dis
trict Attorney Henry L. Stimson.
Provided Douglas Robinson, brother
in-law of the president, is willing to
appear as complaining witness, Mr..
Jerome is ready, the letter states, to
bring action at once in the state courts.
It would be useless for him to do so, he
explains, If his inquiry is not given
precedence over that begun by the Fed
eral grand jury.
II have given the matter published
in the New York World of October B,
1908, careful consideration, the letter
says, "and am of the opinion that it
is plainly libel upon Charles P. Taft
and Douglas Robinson, assuming, OF
course, that it is untrue as to the syn
dictate mentioned therein and their al
legged connection Herewith. Under
the law of this state its publication is
a crime and, as it was published in the
county Of New York, it is my duty un-
der certain circumstances to prosecute
those responsible for the publication.
"The publication has a much wider
general Importance than is found in
most libels. 1t in substance charges
that by corrupt and dishonorable, if
not criminal means, the treasury of
the United States was depleted to the
extent of $36, 500, 900 through the con-
nivance, to give it no harsher descrip-
ton, of some of the chief officers of
the state and that this great sum was
divided among government favorites
in the world of politics and finance. , "
Mr.. Jerome expresses his conviction
that SO serious charge should not pass
and that adequate justif-
cation should be shown or those MAX
ing it be properly punished.

Their Advice 10 FlEplnos.

/ Their Advice 10 Fii,pinos.
Manila, Feb. 2. The Philippine AZ.
aembly opened today with simple cera-
monies, President Osmena presiding.
The first business to come before the
body was the annual message to the
assembly Of Governor General James
+. Smith, which read. In part, ~ fol
lows.
My last word to the Filipinos Is
that until the great majority and not a
small minority Of the citizens are pre-
pared TO make intelligent use Of the
franchise until democratic uaages and
customs have permeated throughout
the population, and become part of
the daily life Of the people; until the
power Of unconscionable agitators and
demagogues Ia broken; until education
has created just public sympathy
that specious arguments and false doc
trines cannot destroy; until citizen
has not only the power to Judge but
also the courage to act for himself,
the best future of the islands lies with
the land which has given the FiIipinos
freedom Of speech; liberty of the
press; freedom of worship; the right
OF the accused to meet witnesses
against him face to face; the exercise
Of the franchise: free schools; auto
nomy In municipal and provisional
affairs; the right to participate In
making laws through the assembly,
and many other rights, liberties and
privileges not enjoyed by peoples
which have had independence and ma
tional existence for hundreds of
years. /"
Governor Smith deplored the grow
ing gulf between the Americans and
the Filipinos In the Philippines, and
strongly urged that they draw closer
together and act In unity for the best
interests Of both. His message sharp

wants of the city.

Smith pronounced TO be entirely salts

The annual report on the revenues of
the islands shows decline of about
million pesos (abous $500, 0o0) for 1908
under the figures of 1907.

action for criminal libel in the state
courts against the publishers Of The
New York World because OF published
charges regarding the Panama canal
purchases.
Mr.. Stimson tells Mr.. jerome to 70
ahead.
Mr.. jerome had asked If action in
the state courts on behalf Of Douglas
Robinson, the presidents hrpther-in-
law, would be an unwise interference
With the actions begun under Federal
Jurisdiction.
Mr.. Stimson answers this question
negatively, but does not state that the
Federal inquiries or prosecutions will
cease IL Mr.. jerome begins an ecticn.
It ID apparent that while the Federal
authorities concede to Mr.. jerome the
right to appear as the protector Of
Douglas Robinsols's good name. they
reserve to themselves the privilege of
acting in defense Of the reputation OF
"a gentleman who occupied the posi-
ton of head Of tho War department

MEAT AT FAMINE PRICES.


Stockton, Gail, Jan. 2S.-The scar
city of beef, hogs and sheep has caused
meat prices here to increase fast of
late, and the retailers have raised their
prices until the head of the house is
compelled to pay fancy figures for all
kinds Of meat.
OF late years, at certain seasons, the
greater portion of California depends
on Nevada and Arizona, and even Ore
gon, to supply the bulk of meat. Ow-
ing to the failure of the hay crop In
Nevada and Arizona last season, the
stock in these two states are not in
condition for slaughter. The prevail
ing wet weather, with washouts and
few carloads of stock, has created al
most meat famine and prices are
soaring.
