terrain Merchants
Answer Given to Dispatch
Which Questioned Willing

James McNab, president of the cham
her of commerce, set at rest last even
ing for the time, at least, the reports
that the commercial bodies of this city
are not eager to entertain the dele.
gates of the Japanese chambers of
commerce. which will visit the United
States in September and that the party
will not visit California McNab re-
futed the story which came yesterday
from Seattle to the effect that the
commercial bodies of California were
Hanging back from entertaining the
japanese.
The Seattle dispatch stated that it
was not certain that representatives of
the Japanese chambers of commerce
would include California in their itin-
erary owing to lack of interest on the
part of business men of this state.
STATEMENT MADE IN SEATTLE
A statement was made in Seattle by
J. d. Lowman, a member of the COM
mittee which has been travelling in the
east arranging for the excursion of the
Japanese, in which he said:
There is no sentiment but that of
the very friendliest anywhere we Wis
tied. Every place, is anxious to have
that party call next September.
There is considerable doubt as to
whether or not we will visit California,
as the California people have been
hanging back and are evidently afraid
to make any move or having this party
of Japanese there
ALTERNATIVES PROPOSALS
should it be decided to visit Cali
fornia the party will go there from
Salt Lake City and Tacoma and Port
land will be called upon Immediately
after the arrival of the party in the
United States; but if California is not
included the party will go straight
through from Seattle to Spokane. visit
ing Portland on the return and max
ing Tacoma the final calling place,
where the big farewell reception Will
be rendered them.
"The representatives of the cham
bers of commerce of Japan and its
leading trade experts were invited to
visit the northwest and the entire
United States by the chambers of
commerce of Seattle, Tacoma, Port
land and Spokane.
Among the other, cities that will
entertain the Japanese are Baltimore,
Cincinnati, st. Louis. Kansas City, Den
yer. Pittsburg. Chicago. indianapolis,
Omaha. ST. Paul, Minneapolis, Roches
ter. Syracuse, Grand Rapids and Mil
waukee."
CITY Is NOT CHANGING BACK,
San Francisco has not been hang
ing back" said McNab last evening.
II appointed a committee from the
chamber of commerce consisting of
Captain William Matson and Captain
Barneson to arrange for the reception
of 1.-THE Japanese. They are to be jim
vited by the combined commercial
bodies of the Pacific coast and no one
section may have the monopoly on
their entertainment. We are perfectly
able and willing to receive the Japan

reception we gave the Japanese fleet.

for the reception of the commercial
bodies have not yet been completed"
