washington, May 21: Reassuring
adyices reached the state department
from Japan late today, indicating that
the American reply to the protest
against the California land law was
received in good spirit oy the Iohio
government and that the situation hao
taken on a much more favorable ap-
pearance than at any time since ne
eotiations began. Officials here ao-
mjtted their satisfaction over the turn
of events. The dispatches related al
90 that the Japanese government re-
allied fully the difficulties under WnloI
the Washington administrator nau
labored in handling this sltuatlon'
understanding the dual system OF gov
ernment in the United States ana the
powers of legislation held by can
fornia. Today's advices were OF
preliminary character and mace no
prediction of ensuing steps but In gen.
eral. they reflected a favorable view
in TOXIC Of the American note reply
ing to Japan's protests. President
Wilson, who had no small part in the
writing of the note, Is said TO nave
described in the most complimentary
terms what he believed to be the real
feeling of the majority or the Amerl-
can people toward Japan. The com
munication, it is said, pointed to Call
fornia and only a part OF California
too, as having given evidence OF
discriminatory disposition ana IN
sisted that the United States as
whole admired the progress that ia
respected the achievements or the
Japanese people and was sincerely
anxious to show that it regarded ia.
pan on a basis of equality with all
other powers and nations. The note
was about 1000 words long and dealt
chiefly with the spirit Of the Ameri-
can people toward Japan, making lit
tie reference, it is understood, to the
technicalities Of the new law, or the
treaty, but discussed Japan's conten-
ton that the California agitation was
In reality an act OF unfriendNness
and discrimination toward the jap
anese. officials here were not in the
least opposed to publication OF the
document, but decision on this point
was left with the Toxic government.
While the situation tonight was re-
garded as satisfactory in official CIR
cles, the Japanese answer was await
ed with keen interest. officials are
inclined to hope that the acute stage
in the negotiations has passed. The
president realizing that speeches In
congress at this time might embarrass
the situation, requested Representa-
tive Sisson, of Mississippi. who had an
nounced his intention of speaking on
Friday on the alien land question, TO
handle as delicately as possible, d.
plomatic phases Of the case.
The mineral production OF the
United States, as shown by the an
nual reports of the geological sur
vey, has increased In 80 years from
s451.9O1,159 in 1882, to $1,91S.326,-
251. in 1911; and the average per
capita production has grown from
1927 in 1880 to $21.65 in 1910. or the
total 1911 output, metals constituted
a little more than one-third, and non.
Notwithstanding $626,366,S76 OF
coal-a little less than two-thirds. To
the total, 4S states and the districts OF
Alaska and Columbia contributed; but
five eastern states-Pennsylvan
West Virginia. Ohio. Illinois and
Michigan-supplied nearly one-half,
or $7S4,459.592, and the production
of the states west Of the Mississippi
was only 35 per cent, although their
area Is 71.2 per cent Of that Of the
United States exclusive of Alaska). Il.
