Public meetings of protest nnil repre sentations to tho American embassy hero have been Innumerable, but the feeling of hopelessness is pronounced. The newspapers call attention to tho "humiliating Insult to a nation which, though hlgh-splrlted mid proud, has gone out of Its way to maintain the most friendly relations with tho United Htates. Americans resident In Toklo and Yoko hama who aro members pf tho peace so ciety held lOJoInt meeting today with tho Japancso members, at which u resolu tion was passed strongly urging tho Call fornlahs not- to pass the land ownership bill. Tho resolution said that the passage of tho California land bill would greatly damago America's prestige for fair play and begged the Callfornlan legislature to pause and Investigate . It also ex pressed tho belief that the passage of tho bill would work Injustice to the Japa nese and be Injurious to American com merce besides creating a painful situa tion for Americans resident In Japan who always have been recipients of cour. tesy and protection.

April lB.-Slow prog ress in consideration of the new tariff bill by the democratic house caucus has upset the early prediction of administra tion leaders that the bill would be ready for the senate by May 1. After a week of deliberation the caucus Is less than half way through the pro posed measure, with several of the Im portant schedules yet to bo disposed of notably wool and cotton. The Income tax also Is certain to require considerable time In discussion, as members desire to have It thoroughly explained. Rcpre sentatlve Cordell Hull of Tennessee, au thor of the Income tax section, will have charge of It In tho caucus. It probably will not be reached before the last of the I week. Today the caucus resumed considera tion of tho agricultural schedule, wheat being first taken up. Northwestern rep resentatives opposed the free listing of flour, declaring It Inconsistent with a proposed duty of 10 cents a bushel on wheat. Citrus fruits also were the tar get for opposition as well as the free listing of potatoes. Illll ProgreKse .Slowly. When deliberations were resumed to day many members predicted that th" j caucus would not be through the bill I until the middle of next week In that case (ts consideration in the houso can not begin until late In that week, and the prospect Is that It will be nearer June 1 than May 1 beford the bill Is ready for the senate. Ilepresentatlve Underwood was suffi ciently recovered from his Illness to re sumo charge of tho bill In tho caucus, although his friends urged him to return home until completely well. Ho was so anxious to guide the administration meas ure through the caucus, however, and to hasten Its consideration as much as pos Bible that he remained on tho floor In spite of some Illness. Ilepresentatlve Levy of New York moved- to place wheat on the free list. Ilepresentatlve Kowler of Illinois ot fercd an amendment to Incrcaso tho pro posed duty on wheat from 10 cents to IS cents a bushel. Tho caucus rejected both amendments and left the wheat rate as fixed by Mr. Cnderwood and his colleagues. When the citrus fruit provisions were reached democrats from California ana Florida began a fight to maintain present duties on lemons, limes and oranges. Representative Church of California of fered an amendment restoring the rates of the Dlngley act, a compromise. Rep resentative Baker nnd Kcttncr 'of Cali fornia nnd Hparkman of Florida sup ported tho resolution and ilepresentatlve Harrison of New York defended tho rates proposed by the committee. Tho Church amendment was rejected as was also an amendment proposed by Mr. Clark of Florida to Increase tho duty on pineapples. This disposed of tho cit rus fruit fight beforo the caucus and the bills so far remained Intact. The cau cus wound up the .agricultural schedule wlthout-a change.
