Tol1io, April 20.-Announcement that President Wilson and Secretary of State Bryan are making efforts to bring about a compromise in the proposed California legislation with respect to the alien land ownership bill, and that Governor Hiram Johnson is opposing the bill. has softened Japanese ire and public opinion has now become more optimistic. The alleged unwillingness of the American missionaries to assist in resisting the bill is the subject of harsh criticism in the Japanese papers, but after a conference which Count Okuma- the former foreign minister, had with the missionaries, the latter despatched telegrams to California, the exact nature of which are not known.
 Count Okuma ironically reminded the missionaries that Japan owed it's first lessons in foreign humanitarian asrinciples to the United States. Now 1he duty has devolved upon Japan,'' he added, ito teach the Californians the game principles"
 The Japanese consul at Vancouver, B C., who has arrived here, has caused some excitement by the statement that anti-Japanese legislation is pend ans in the Canadian provinces of British Columbia, Saskatchewan and Manitoba.
