WASHINGTON, Jun . That the Japa nese of tha Paelflo coast, and the progres siva, a political party of Japan, have ntared Into an alllanoa which ha. the earmarks of a oonaplracy. with the over throw of the present ministry In Jnran and the annulment of the clause In the Immigration bill excluding Japanese coolie labor from continental United States as the ultimata objects, was learned authori tatively here today. The preliminary steps In thla achenU, It Is said, will be to Induce the Toklo government to recall Viscount Aokl, the Japanese ambassador to the United States, and to demand an apology and perhaps an indemnity from this gov ernment for the alleged acta of violence against Japanese subjects residing In Ban Francisco. With this end In view representatives of tha faction hostile to the Salonjl ministry have been In Washington to consult with the Japanese ambassador and tha. State department officials regarding the objec tionable clause tn the Immigration bill, the California school question and the recent riot In Ban Francisco. The report which they have sent to Toklo, it Is alleged, will form the basis of a systematic campaign to bring about antl-Amorlcan demonstra tion In Japan and to force Foreign Minis ter Hayaahl. If possible, to demand In demnity and an apology on account of the Japanese disturbances In San Francisco. First Move tn the Game. These facts became known today for the first time, when it was learned that T. Takahaahl. representative of the Seattle Japanese society; O. Noda, representative of tha Baa Franclsoo Japanese society, and K.

Both skies are ready and anx- .ur in m., wmorrow ui me Kaufmann murder trial, and the work of offering testimony will be pushed ss speed- , lly as possible, but not to an extent whelh will weaken the case of either the state or defense. Both skies have their cases and the order In which their witnesses will be presented fully outlined, and today was a comparative! yqulet one for the attorney In the case. The Sunday recess was very acceptable to both sides after the tedious strain of the four day which wer required to secure a Jury to try the case. It has given them an opportunity to rest up for the supreme test, which Is expected to come during this week. The people of Flandreau continue to ex hibit their customary good sense, and re fuse to become excited over of course, have become deeply this remarkable case and many have their opinions, but the great majority have sus pended judgment pending the completing of the work of offering testimony for both the state and defense. The Jurymen are all men of unquestioned character and of high standing In their localities, and whatever their verdict. It will be accepted and ap proved by those who are closely following the case. The report has been circulated In, some quarters that United Btate Senator Kltt rldge of Bloux Falls has been retained by the defense and will be associated with the attorney of Mr. Kaufmann during the remainder of the trial. This rumor doubt less grew out of the fact that Senator Kltt rldge visited Flandreau a day or two ago, but he was here only a short time and re turned to Sioux Falls Saturday some hour before the work of securing a Jury hod been completed. Notwithstanding the re ports to the contrary. Senator Klttrldge will not appear In the case at all. The de fense will be conducted by the attorneys originally retained.

Th arrival of Mr. Sturtevant and hi declared statement of prosecution has caused a sensation.

It 1 feared that the Btate department has con ceded altogether too much In It desire to Increase American trade In Germany. For years our consuls In Europe 1 have been educated In th line nt- vlues. Bom of ,the have become o expert that they were enabled to scan an Invoice and to tell at a glance whether or not true values were stated In the Invoice.

It I understood that the new treaty ac cept th statement of the German mer- chant or manufacturer a the true value and that a consular certificate will be un necessary In the future. Thl radical de parture gives the dishonest German manu facturer and his American agent a great advantage, and it la feared that the result will be that the custom wilt suffer under valuation, which In the past have amounted to millions of dollars per annum. It may be true that the new treaty will permit th exportation to Germany of many line of good now virtually prohibited, but according to th opinion of the Treasury department the prloe paid for the privilege Is exorbitant and altogether out of propor tion to the benefit which will be derived.

(Continued on Aocond P"4 REVISION OF SHERMAN LAW Plan for la New AuttTruat Statute Submitted the President. NEW YORK. June - A special to th Herald from Washington say: . President Roosevelt has authorised th publication of a letter received by him from John R. Dos Passos, a lawyer, of New York City, who recommends an ex tensive revision of the Sherman anti-trust law to the end that it may dlscrlmlnatoly apply to Injurious combinations, but not to railroad. Th end which Mr. Do Passos seeks' to attain I th elimination of politic from th question of govern mental restriction of trusts and rallroada. lie submitted to th president a draft of a bill which meet hi view. Mr. Do Passos te working along a line to which th president ha given much thought and which he will probably ask the next congress to deal with. Th presi dent believes that the government' func tion of railroad regulator should be exer cised entirely through Interstate commerce laws. He would much rather proceed against railroad . under Interstate com- merce laws than under th Sherman anti- trust law. In presenting to th president his bill Mr. Dos Passos aaya: "A law to be efficacious must cover th following points: First, the destruction of existing pernicious ' combinations; second, the punishment of fnture organisers and officer of uch combination; third, the forfeiture of the property embraced inS.and ,acn waB , cn,rs, of a com. crlmlnal and civil remedloa. prwrenttv and vindicatory." . President Roosevelt Is much Interestel In th Idea submitted to him by Mr. Do Passos. He has received many other Bug gestlons from men prominent In the busi ness world on the same subject. Senator Beverklge of Indiana, In his magaxlne de bate with Mr. Bryan, recently advocated a thorough overhauling of the Sherman anti-trust law. "In my Judgment, tha whole subject of trusts must be bodily carried out of the field of politics and placed In the domain of pure legislation," ay Mr. Dos Passos tn his letter. "You are the only Individual who can accomplish this removal. Your courage. Independence, knowledge and pa triotism naturally make' yon a dictator In this particular field. A rare opportunity la thus presented to you. Within the limits of reason, both parties will follow you. On the other side, In the hands of poli ticians the question will receive neither proper nor intelligent treatment." Th distinctive features of and reason for the draft of a law proposed by Mf. Dos Passos are given' by him a follows: "First, the act, contract of combination must be Injurious to the public. This meet an objection to the Sherman law, which assails all commercial combina tion, whether reasonable or unreasonable. "Second, the act, contract or combina tion must be passed upon by a Jury. Thl I where the subject legitimately belong. It primarily should be left with th people to decide whether certain acts are In jurious to their welfare or not. Hereto fore these questions have been left to the Judges. It was too .great a burden for th Judiciary, It ha created confusion and in consistencies tn th decision a "Th Jury - Is th r (! of Anglo-Bason ctvltlxwtion.- -Thar- tribunal la "not t aultlees, because It Is human, txft no better on has. ever been conceived.

We oart rest assured that th ques tion wlll'be safe tn their hands. .Th Jury system has never been oppreslva It ha never yet checked true business dsvelop ment. On the contrary. It ha been Iden tified with every step tn our progress. "Third The proceeding under thl act 1 aummary. No on will hereaftar reck toaaly defy the law.

It I left to th jury to deter mine what act are Injurious and to th Judge to decide whether they fall within the commerce clause of the constitution.'
