TAFT AND UCHDA
HOLD CONFERENCE
personal Assurances Given Ambasss
dor Of Friendly Relations With
the Japanese.

Washington, d. c., March 23.--An-
ether feature of the war" scare was
exploded at the White House yester-
day when President Taft told Baron
Uchida, japanese minister, that this
government was in no wise respons-
sible fer the yarns that have appear
CD connecting the movement of troops
u the Mexican border with expected
treachery from Japan: that the adj
ninistration has no information that
Japan Is seeking foothold in Mex
icc with a view to hostility to the
United States; that it does not be-
lleve Japan would undertake any un-
friendly movement to this country in
Mexico, and that the administration
has every confidence in the peaceable
and friendly intentions Of the Japan
ese people and government.
President Taft personally invited
the Japanese minister to visit him so
that he might officially express his
regrets that there has been so much
idle and harmful speculation as to the
alleged hostility of Japan to this coun-
try, through coalition or otherwise
with Mexico. 1t was only few days
after the American troops were or
dered to San Antonio that the Presi-
dent went south and put il over a
week of rest in Augusta.
Asked to Inform Emperor.
The many floating stories about
Japan's hand in the Mexican situa-
ton did not attract his attention. but
since he has come back to Washing
ton he has been informed that many
of these yarns are calculated 70 cause
harm in Japan. He thought the frank
est way was the best way, and there
| fore sent Cor Raron Uchida, who was
| personally assured that no suspicious
OF japanese underhand purposes TO-
ward this country are entertained by
this government.
The President asked Baron Uchida
| to communicate these views directly
| to the Emperor of Japan.
The opinion was expressed that the
| interview between the President and
the ambassador would go far toward
| allaying the irritation that has been
| brought about in Japan and this coun-
| try by irresponsible speculative stor-
les.

ed, he said. Notwithstanding the
Governments aggressive attitude. re-
forms which were intended to RENE
dy the alleged grievances were under
consideration. The most important
of these reforms was that relative to
the revision of the electoral laws.
This is an outline OF the situation as
presented by MrLimantour following
a meeting of the Cabinet.
That a great change in the attitude
of the people toward the Administra-
ton had taken place within the time
that Minister Limantour was abroad
vas a significant admission made by
HIM. The Administration, he said
was conducting searching invcstiga'
ton to determine the cause and find
a remedy for the existing sentiment.
There was no disposition on its part
to oppose any wise reforms which
mi ght be demanded by a reasonable
public. At the same time the Admin

demands backed up by arguments or

That any reconciliation could be eff
fected with the rebels Senor Li.nan-
tour regarded as improbable. Refer
ing to his reported conferences in
New York with Francisco Madero,
father OF the rebel leader. he said that
he had hoped through him 20 find
some means Of bringing about ces-
sation of hoatilities, but he learned
that the father had no influence over
the son.

Election Reform Demanded.

Already the Minister has discover
ed that the fundamental demand of
the people is that there be revision
o. the electoral laws The Minister
admitted that such a revision was to
be checked. He said that this doubt
less would be one CT the reforms to
be enacted soon.
The exact character of this measure
could not be outlined by the Minister,
who said that it would involve a
change IN the Constitution OF the re.
public and would require the elabora.
ton OF innnmerable details.
Any new ELECTORAL law would, In
the opinion OF the Minister, have to
be the subject of most careful consid.
Grafton and would need to be so fran.
ed as to eliminate illiterate voters. AL.
though this proposed change in the
electoral laws would not be intended
as any concession to the rebels, 1t ID
the basic feature of their demands
according to statements made repeat
edly by Madero and his associates.
