Washington, Feb. 3. No single
question, nor indeed any group of
questions, is absorbing the interest
and concern of the administration at
this moment to the same extent ai
certain phases of the anti-Japanese
agitation in California.
The president has been In coramu
nlcatlon with many reputable person!
who should be thoroughly informed
as to the conditions on the Pacific
coast. It Is admitted that a sys
tematic agitation was In progress on
the coast, but a significant feature of
its lack of strength was the fact that
the tabor leaders had taken no prom
inent part in it It even has been
stated to the administration that the
real mainspring of the agitation was
to be found In some of the great cor
porations that had found their profit
ble business of coolie transportation
threatened with destruction by the
success attending the efforts of the
administration to stop this class of
immigration. For the fact is that, In
the opinion of the administration, the
negotiations with Japan for a prac
tically complete closure of American
ports to the entry of Japanese laborers
are certainly jeopardized by the 6
treme utterances of certain persons la
California and by the mere consider
ation of such resolutions as were en
tertalned by the Nevada legislature.
Even agreements already reached,
which are being carried' out in perfect
good faith on the part of the Japanese
government, are regarded as endan
gered, in the sense that the present
agitation might very naturally tend
to abate the interest of the Japanese
officials in the execution of their obit
gatlons in view of the unfriendly attl
tude by some elements on the Pacific
coast. It Is these considerations that
have Influenced the president In con
cluding that everything possible
should be done to prevent legislation

She has been very low for the past

Mr. Andrew Schllefert and wife

John Flelschman had a very nar
