CALIFORNIA AND
THE JAPANESE.

! The periodical japanese bogy ia
on idhe screen again in California. As
on previous occasions, the delegates in
the legislature of that State are tenn
Iporarily memorable, and pretend they
are about to defy the federal govern
ment by the adoption of anti-Japanese
laws.
Their program at the recurrence O.
this vexed trouble is drastic, and it
has caused ill-considered talk in Toxic
by people who, however, in no wise
represent the Mikado nor his cabinet.
Two new bills dealing with'she ques-
tions of land ownership by aliens il
California, each representing the view
of considerable faction in the Legis-
lature, will be offered and voted on b.
the Senate this week.
Through an agreement reached BY
leaders fthe majority party,a drastic
law directed solely against tie Jap
anese and Chinese will be prepared as
ia substitute for the Thompson-Bird-
sail measure, and probably will be
passed. If not, an end will have come
to the anti-alien land legislation a.
this session, floor leaders declare. l.
is now planned to throw out entirely
the guarded language of the Inomp-
son-Birdsal bill and put in its place
two simple prohibitions:
First-No alien who is ineligible to
citizenship shall be permitted 10 az
quire and hold land in California foI'
period of more than one year after
date Of such acquisition.
Second-No corporation, the major
lily of stock of which is, held by aliens
who are Ineligible to citizenship, shall
be permitted to acquire and hold il
except for one year.
According to information from
Washington, President Wilson is anx-
ious concerning the outcome Of the
matter, and has communicated with
Governor Johnson in order that SOME
understanding may be reached tc
bring about a more favorable under
standing between this country and
Japan.
As was the case several years ago
when the school question in California
was THE issue, some American alarm
lists see the red horse of war pran-
ing and scenting the battle from afar.
A large majority, however, do not
anticipate any serious outcome of the
matter, believing that the trcu5ie will
be settled by diplomacy.

PILOTfEES

Coast pilot fees have received a
material reduction according to late
advices winch have reached this city.
A ruling of vital importance to this
port and to American shipping inter
ests was put into force by Collector
of Customs Frederick S. Stratton, in
which the pilotage fees in the port of
San Francisco will be cut 40 per cent.
The state board OF pilot commission
ers and the Bar Pilots Association
will be the losers and the steamship
companies will be the gamers If the
ruling is permitted to stand by the
treasury department in Washington,
where an appeal has been carried.
Collector Stratton said that he has
decided upon making the ruling after
mature elaboration and belief that
in so doing he is well within the fed
eral statutes and that 1t is a move In
the right direction.
The steamship companies more es-
pecially affected by the ruling are
those operating between San Francis
co and ports in British Columbia
which touch at Domestic ports in
Puget Sound, and also steamers OPP
Grating between San Francisco, Pana-
ma, Mexican and Central American
ports which put in at,San Pedro and
San Diego en- route. The. decision
would also apply to vessels plying
between San Francisco and the ORR
ent calling at Honolulu, the latter be-
ing an American port, but these yes
sells, which carry large numbers of
passengers and cargoes valued, at
s1,Os0.000, are required by reason Of
Insurance to use pilots. !.
The steamship companies banded
together, asking to be absolved of
pilotage, are represented by Attorney
William Hs Thornley,.

! The British India Company has ask
cd the English Chambers CT Commerce
&c prevent the Nippon Yusen Kaisha
sfrcm engaging in business on the In
dian coast in view of the fact that
Japan does not allow foreign steam
ers to engage in Japanese coastal
trade, but the application was reject
ed. Consequently it started the COM
petition against the Nippon Yusen
Kaisha. Recently the British India
Company increased the number of
steamers on this run to eighteen, hop
ing to defeat the japanese company
at blow, as it was under the inn
preston that the government was go
ing to withdraw the subsidy in ac-
cordance with the administrative re-
form scheme, and that the N. Y. X.
would then be unable to continue the
campaign. 1t still hopes it may be
able to make favorable terms with the
Nippon Yusen, though these fall short
of victory.
The Nippon Yusen Kaisha will not
be easily frightened by the mere in
crease of steamers, however. as it
started the campaign with great de-
termination. With the coming of the
southwest monsoon, the loss will be
greater than ever. and will fall prin-
cipally on the British India Company,

Lower RATES
now PREDICTED

The charter of steamers to bring
coal from Australia to Honolulu, as
well as the engagement of tonnage to
carry fuel from the cast coast Of the
United States to Pacific coast points,
is now predicted will have a decided
tendency to lower freight rates on re-
turn cargoes. Two steamships are
now about to leave Newcastle for Ho-
nolulu with coal for the lnter-Island.
When discharged, these vessels are
expected will proceed to Puget Sound
ports in ballast, there to load lum-
Der.
Charter rates are now predicted
will go to pretty low figure on the
coast and lumber exporters and 9TH
ers are hesitating about increasing
their tonnage, awaiting the arrival on
the Pacific of from thirty to forty
big steamers which are under charter
to the United States government to
bring coal from the Atlantic coast to
the government. coaling stations. 1t
is explained that later all of these
vessels will be available for placing
In the lumber and grain business on
this coast
IL is already known for a certainty
that twenty British and ten Norwe-
gian ships have been chartered to
carry government coal, and there
seems to be no information as to how
many ships of. other flags also have
been chartered for the same purpose.
Many of the steamers were taken
at the time of the California-Japan-
csc controversy and will discharge
their coal cargoes at San Francisco,
Bremerton, Honolulu and a limited
quantity in the Philippines. Rather
than permit the craft to leave in bal
last, it is thought the owners will
agree to a very low charter in order
to keep moving at a profit.
There mas been little active char
tering during the past few weeks on
this coast, and this, ut is thought, is
from the fact that low rates are ex-
pected on the arrival of the steamers
with government coal
It is estimated that these steamers
could take out 125 ,000, 900 feet of lum-
Der, or 100000 bushels of wheat.
Coal in the government bunkers on
this coast is running pretty low, but
the fleet. of ships. with an average
capacity of 5000 tons. will be able to
pile them full again.
