A joint meeting Of the Japanese politi-
cal parties Is also being planned to dis
cuss the situation.
The clause of the California bill pro-
viding for confiscation Of property of
persons unable to become naturalized
American citizens has aroused the
strongest criticism here.
Japan Sees Parallel Case.
The Toxic newspapers are emphatic in
commenting on the land bill pendingn be-
fore the California legislature. The Ko-
kumin points out that the Americans OBJ
jected to the treatment OF the Jews in
Russia, but the present proposed opposi-
tion and injustice against Japan consti-
tutes a parallel case.
The Asahi, the Jill Shimpo and the
Hochi Shimbun similarly comment on the
subject.
Their general tone is not violent. but
rather expressing regret and concert at
what must be IN inevitable barrier to
good relations between tho countries. The
leading politicians and educators are con-
tinually discussing the situation In an
endeayor to discover some way out. They
do not urge q violent agitation. but init

Assaults on judges.

The apples thrown at Lord Salve-
son at the conclusion OF the suffra-
gettes' trial at Glasgow remind the
London Chronicle that an assault
upon a Judge gave rise to one OF the
choicest extant specimens OF law
French. After a prisoner had been
condemned for felony before Chief
Justice Richardson at Salisbury sum-
mer assizes, 1851, he, according to the
black letter report, eject un brickbat
a lie Justice que narrowly mist" For
this an indictment was at once drawn
against the prisoner and his right
hand was cut off and fixed to the
gibbet, upon which he was also i'm
mediatement hange in the presence OF
the court"
That there is light side even to
such serious subject as assaults
upon judges is seen in the incident of
the egg thrown at the late Vice Chan
eellor Malens by a disappointed liti-
rant. The judge cleverly avoided the
missile. and at the same time estab-
lished an undying reputation as a
humorist by remarking that the egg
must have been intended as present
Tor his brother Bacon, V. c., who was
lifting in an adjoining court.

Nikolai. He had taken command as if

Gypsy Prophecy Fulfilled.


There is singular incident related
OF Charles l. of England. It is tradi.
tional at Hampton Court. He was
one day standing at window of his
palace surrounded by his children.
when a gypsy came up and asked for
charity. Her appearance excited ridi-
Guile and perhaps threats. This SO en-.
ragged her that she took out of her
basket a small looking-glass and pre-
scented 1t to the king. He saw in it
his own head chopped off from the
body. With natural wish to propiti-
ate SO prophetic beggar, some money
was given her. She then said that the
death Of a dog in that very room would
precede the restoration Of the crown
to his family, which the king was
about to lose. Oliver Cromwell is sup
posed to have slept in that room after
ward, and he was always attended BY
faithful dog. On awakening one
morning he found the dog dead, on
which he exclaimed, in allusion to the
gypsy's prophecy: 1.-THE kingdom is de-
parted from me- This shows a super.
stitious trait in Cromwell, and, strange
to say, he died soon after.
