of Law Closed Incident.

WASHINGTON, June 49, The
American reply to the Japanese gov
ernments protest to the exclusion
Act was made public last night and
has a cordial and friendly tone but
clearly asserted the exclusion pro-
vision no way trespasses written or

livered on May 80 and wrote "You
may be assured of the readiness of
this government to consider In the
same spirit the views you have set
FORTH" pointing out that the excius-
ion was applicable TO all aliens incl
igible to citizenship, with exceptions.
The note said taking these ex-
ceptions into account 1t does not
differ greatly in the practical opera
tion from the understanding en-
bodied in the gentleman's agree
ment"
Agreement At End
The note expressed appreciation
for cooperation in carrying out the
long established policy" and de-
clared advisability of dealing with
the question by legislation instead
of negotiation which unnecessarily
remains within the executive power
of this government"
The note further said "the United
States considers Japan released from
the gentleman's agreement after ex-
clusion is effective on July 1.

NORTHWEST TRADE DROPS
Sharp Slump in Business Expected
to Be Shortliyed,

ST. PAUL May Especially North
western trade has fallen off sharply
In the last few days, although the
slump is expected to be short1ived.
The depression is attributed to the
heated fight in the municipal cleo
tions between the radical labor and
conservative elements, the forced
closing of one of the trust and saw
ings banks and the amalgamation of
two other banking institutions, which,
1t Is feared, have temporarily unset
tied public opinion.
As whole, St Paul and Minneapo-
lis banks are in excellent condition,
deposits having increased and loans
and discounts decreased since Janu-
ary l.. Buying volume in the north
west, however, fell off $23, 1000, 900 last
week, although total Wholesale and
jobbing sales since the first of the
year are about per cent larger than
year ago. With a good agricultural
yield, there is a feeling the north
west is due for a substantial trade
expansion late this summer.
