HOSTILITY FOR U. S.
JAPAN AND CHINA TO UNITE
AGAINST THIS COUNTRY.
London Paper Predicts That They
VIII Exclude Americans From
Orient for, Revenge.

London, Feb. 20.-The Pail Mall Ga
zette in special article declares that
an agitation hostile to the United
States is taking place In Japan ana
that Japan and China soon Will unit :
to resent the exclusion OF Orientals
from America.
The article quotes the Osaka Asahi
Shimbun as follows:
Japanese subjects In America are
made the victims OF growing raclai
prejudice which reveals decadence
OF ideas due to efforts to expand the
American population by the indis'
criminate admission of the lowest
classes OF Europe"
The Gazette contrasts the American
attitude with Japan's liberality In let
ting 1000 Americans live in Japan
unmolested, and adds:
The Japanese are a proud people.
and that they should be Disseminated
against despite their treaty rights. on
grounds of inferiority to the lowest
races of Europe Is circumstance cal
culated to cause trouble, especially
when their discriminators at the same
time are asserting with unctuous rec
titude the principle of the open door
in Manchuria. Thus arguing, CHINA
and Japan will be driven into union
with a common aim, to be obtained by
mutual aid, and that aim will be the
exclusion of the white race from the
Orient"

Shelbyville, Tenn, Feb 20.-Uncon-
vinced hat the hail of bullets which
they had poured into the bodies Of
three negroes accused of murder real
ly killed all three of the prisoners,
the members of lynching mob that
interrupted the proceedings Of the
circuit court here stormed the Jail Of
fee, demanding that they be shown
the dead bodies Of their victims.
The lynchers are suspicious that
the message sent out from the Jail by
the sheriff, to the effect that all the
ley, is not true. They are determined
to finish their self-appointed task of
execution, even If they have to wreck
the jail to do it.
Only by the display of the bodies of
their victims can they be prevailed
upon to dispense peacefully.
The sheriff's force is outnumbered
by the lynchers, and it is feared that
serious bloodshed will result If the
mob carries out it's intention.
The negroes were shot down just as
the proceedings in their preliminary
examination on charge of numbering
Special Officer w. S. Everson were
concluded. The members of the mob
had occupied front seats at the hear
ing, and when deputy sheriffs pre-
pared to take the prisoners from the
courtroom to the Jail fully a score Of
men filed out into the corridors and
massed in orderly ranks in front of
the steps of the courtroom.
AS soon as the deputies appeared
they were seized and drawn away
from the negroes, who stood unpro-
tected from successive volleys that
were fired at them from twenty re-
volvers. AS the last negro sank to
the floor the mob ceased firing and
the deputies, released by those who
had been holding them, sprang to the
bodies and hauled them into the Jail
