 Movement Here.

Tokio, June 2.-Another note from the Japanese governmNt dealing with the questions arising out of the recent California alien landowner. ship legislation is to be forwarded shortly to Washington.
 The idea that the United States has not said her final word is prevalent here, and it is intimated in authorita- tive circles by inference that no of ficial action is to be initiated yet by Japan.
 The formation of a Japanese asso- citation in the United States for the purpose of cooperating with the Japanese government is greatly fa- vored here, and the object of the members of this association, wher formed, will be to reach a permanent solution of the difficulty by means of neW treaty or by a change in nat uraliZation lawj

Merchants Do Not Want Trouble.
 Tacoma, Wash, June 2-Japan does not want war with the United States, according to Yamaguchi a member of the Japanese parliament and friend of Baron Chinda, ambas- sador to the United States, who has arrived in Tacoma. He is on his way to San Francisco from Yokohama to investigate the California alien land law and the condition of the Japanese on this coast.
 "One-half of all the Japanese trade is with the United States" said Yamaguchi. "On this account the Japanese merchants and the majority of the people generally do not care to make trouble with their best customer and friend.
 "Of course, there are some jingoes in Japan, the same, I suppose, as there are in this country. The Japa- nese nation as a whole. however, S not influenced by them"

 Eight nations have up to this time responded favorably to the principle md asking that the suggestion be sub. nitted in detail. Others replied that the proposition is received sympatheti. cally and expressed a willingness to consider details.
 ITO those expressing a willingness to confer in regard to the details. a tentative statement has been submit. ted embodying details suggested by the president; this statement being submitted fG consideration, however. with no intention of insisting upon any particular detail The exact phraseology of the agreement may not be the same in all cases.
