that while the telegram showed due

the vital question.

of the University Of California and
President David Starr Jordan, of
Stanford University, are in receipt to-
day of a cablegram from President
Harada, of Doshisha University of

Sacramento, Calf, April 19-Secre-
tary Bryan's telegram called forth
varied comment from members of the
legislature, many Of whom likened 1t
to the message sent by President
Roosevelt six years and President Taft
four years ago when similar legislation
was pending in California.
Senator Boynton, Progressive Re-
publican, and floor leader in the upper
house, said: 1T is not surprising that
the Democratic administration at
Washington has taken the same posi-
ton that was taken by Roosevelt and
Taft. 1t is impossible to predict the
outcome, but believe that nothwith-
standing the views of the president, an
equitable alien land bill will be pass

Senator Birdsall, whose name is on
the committee substitute bill, believes
that California has full rights in the
matter.
While Secretary Bryan's message
is entitled to consideration he said
"it does not change the situation. II

to determine whether they have a
right to enact such law and second

New York, N. Y, April 19.-The
stock market closed firm. Speculative
interest, which has been waning
throughout the week, virtually disap-
peared today and the total of trans,
actions for the short season, was in
consequential.
Some stocks were sold at the begin
ming of business, the sharp decline in
Canadian Pacific in London being re-
fected in similar fall here. Bear
traders soon saw, however, that their
sales had caused no general selling
and brought back stocks in leisurely
fashion Subsequent fluctuations
were trivial.
Bonds were easy.
Pesos fiuttering around the as cent
mark have caused somewhat of a
panic along the border, not only in
banking but in mercantile circles.

Brussels, April 19.-Twelve million

worthy circles of Belgium's loss in
the first six days or the strike for
equal political rights, which has been
joined by about 100000 men, half the
male population of the country.
Two-thirds of this loss of $4,000
900 day falls, according to the So
cialist Trade Union leaders, on the
capitalists and supporters of the ex-
listing system. The organizers of
the strike declare that by the exer-
cising self denial, they can hold out
as long as the capitalists are willing
to endure the deprivation resulting
from stagnant capital.
All appearances go to show that the
strike will continue for considerable
period.

THE president desires me to say
that while he fully recognizes the

they were required to show cause.
The blockade will continue until the
police are satisfied that decent re-
spect for civilized law has been
brought home to the hearts of those
who rule the district.
No opposition is expected from the
Chinese consul, who recently inform
ed the grand jury that tongs were

Pacific coast, ostensibly organized as
charitable fraternities, but not per-
mitted in China.
