REPORT THAT SECRETARY ROOT
WILL NEGOTIATE NEW
TREATY WITH JAPAN
AGREEMENT Offered
COMMERCIAL CONCESSIONS IN RE.
TURN FOR EXCLUSION OF
JAPANESE LABoRERS.

Washington. Sensational disclos-
ures Of International importance are ex-
pected before the California legisla-
ture resumes consideration of the anti
Japanese bills on Wednesday.
1t is rumored that Secretary Root
has proposed a new treaty covering the
entire question Of the relations between
the United States and Japan.
1t is said that the proposals are de-
signed to settle not only the acute
problems in California. but to harmon
ize the relation of the two nations in
the Pacific SO that when disputes arise
they may be adjusted peacefully.
1t is hoped by this means to keep
within bounds the inevitable competi-
tion between Americans and Japanese
on both sides OF the Pacific.
1t was suggested in one quarter that
the treaty would provide for reciprocal
exclusion, the japanese to be kept out
OF the United State and Americans out
Of Japan and Manchuria. 1t must be
remembered. however. that the United
States is irrevocably committed to the
open door In Manchuria, and 1t is un-
likely, therefore, that this can be part
Of the agreement.
The better informed seem to think
that the United States is prepared 10
grant many important concessions OF a
commercial character to Japan. In re-
turn Japan, 1t is believed. will strictly
enforce its regulations agninst all emf.
grafton of coolies to the United States.
Although conjecture as to the terms
OF the proposals are wholly In the air.
1t is known definitely that negotia.
tions are now In progress for more
complete understanding between the
two nations as to their relations.
Toxic now has the agreement under
consideration. and a reply is expected
before Wednesday. When the Califor.
MIA legislature again takes up the anti
Japanese bill 1t probably will find that
the national government has made
tentative agreement to remove most oi
the evils attendant on Japanese immi
grafton to the Pacific coast states.
II Toxic should fail to accept Amer
ica's terms. the situation would again
be serious. for Californians would then
be able to say that the national govern
ment had failed, and that the state gov
ernment must act.
President Roosevelt. in all his com
munications to Governor Gillett and
other California leaders. has pledged
the national government to solve the
Japanese problem in such n way as tc
remove all causes OF complaint on the
Pacific coast. while at the same time
preserving friendly relations will

feeling in favor OF generous action to
ward the former queen. whose years
are now fast declining and many
statesmen say a bonus direct to her
would be worth a good deal more than
the money involved, because Of the
good impression 1t would create among
the Hawaiian part Of the population
OF the islands.
Liliuokalani is a direct descendant
OF one OF the most picturesque char
acters In the history Of Hawaii. whose
story has been told in a thousand
missionary meetings and sent broad
cast in million Sunday school vol
umes. She is. in fact. a great-grand
niece of Kapiolani. the island princess
or female chief. who did more than
any other person to bring the natives
to Christianity.
1t was Kapiolani who dared to pluck
the sacred berries which grow at the
brink OF the crater of kilauea. The
natives had been taught that n person
who picked those berries would surely
die most horrible death because of
the supposed sacrilege directed
against the goddess Pele. Kapiolani

she led a picturesque procession Of

down to the lake Of fire below the rim
OF the crater. With opened hymn
book, singing praises to the God of
the new Christian cult. she defied Pele
and threw the sacred berries into the
burning lake. OF course nothing hap.
pened. and the supposed sacrilege was
not punished in any way.
Pele as an awe inspiring deity was
compelled to go out OF business and
the simple natives fiocked to the Chris.
tian standard fully convinced that a
new God had arisen who would sure
ly punish unless he were followed
with praise and thanksgiving. This
was the beginning of the extraordi
nary conversion of the simple island
ers. the like Of which probably never
has been seen or heard before or
since in the history Of missionary
effort.
