CAUSES ALARM Treaty Wiih J*p?n is Opposed by the Pv;pit if Pacific Slope. PRCTLSr AGAINST IT President Taft is I'rjjed to Withdraw Ti eaty, United States Senate Asked to Refuse Assent and the California Delegation Instructed to Oppose Katiticatioii. The text of a new treaty with Japan, designed to replace that of 18D4 and drawn with the special design of eliminating the restrictions upon immigration contained in that treaty has been laid before the Senate b> President Taft. The essential difference between the j roposed treaty and the existing convention is said to be in the fact that it omits all reference to such restrictions and leaves to the national honor of Japan the enforcement at her o'.vn ports of the limitations upon emigration from Japan now expressly placed upon immigration into the United States. lie: litre* it embodies this radical departure from the existing treat) and touches the question of the deepest Importance and interest to the Pacific slope the injection of this convention into the closing hours >1 the Sixty-first Congress lias created a sensation. Pacific Coast Kicks. A resolution was introduced in the California State Senate as soon as the above action of President Taft was heard, calling upon the President to withdraw the new Japanese treaty appealing? to the United States Senate to refuse its assent, and in gtructing the California delegation to oppose ratification. Th'1 resolution, which was presented by Senator Caminetti, says that "the Senate of the State of California, relying in good faith upon assurances from official sources, given to the people of the State during the last four years, that the immigration of such laborers was precluded by a 'mutual agreement' between our Government and that of Japan, and that the latter nation was as anxious to retain as we were to exclude them, patriotically and patiently observed calmness pending Tipootintions for a new treatv. that: The Hesolutiens. ""Whereas, our people have been led to believe and hope that there would be no surrender of our rights .in the premises, and that: "Whereas. it further appears that tven the protective features relating to immigration matters of the present treaty with Japan are omitted in the new draft. Therefore, he it "Resolved. That the Senate of the State of California earnestly urges the President of the United States to withdraw said treaty from further consideration by the Senate of the United Stales, and "P>e it further resolved, That we appeal to the Senate of the United States to withhold and refuse its assent to a compact fraught with so much danger to our citizens, to our industrial development and to oui civilization." Chairman Wright, of the Federal relations committee of the Senate, sent the following telegram to Prosid ent Taft: I.of tor to President. "Mr. President: California Is much alarmed over the newspaper reports of the proposed new Japanese treaty. The Federal Government, unless positively assured that Japan will enforce regulations restricting immigration to United States of such subjects as are inimical to our Western civilization, should insist upon a restriction clause in the new treaty. Less than this will inflame the public mind all along the Pacific coast and may lead to a condition that will be deplored by those desirous of preserving affinity and good will between the United States and Japan. This, In the opinion of the Senate committee on Federal relations, is the sentiment of (he California Legislature. (Signed) "Federal Relations Committee, "Lenow Wright, Chairman."

Extent of Their Resistance is to Point Empty Pistols at Officers? Lodged in .fail at Dahloncga, Ga. A dispatch from Gainesville, Ga., ">p.ys three men have been arrestea and more than $2,000 in money and jewelry has been recovered as a remit of the three days' search for the gang of bandits which held up \ *1 haKKa/1 Q/antS rolkvav fucf mail train at White Sulphur Springs last Saturday morning. It is the belief of the officers of the express nd railway company that the entire gang has been rounded up, but their identity still Is unknown. Following the capture of one of the robbers about four miles from Dahlonega, two other members of the gang were arrested this morning by a posse headed by ex-Sheriff Edwards of Lumpkin county. The men were surprised on a public road about 4 miles from Dahlonega and offered <10 resistance. They were placed in jail at Dahlonega Wednesday and will be carried to Gainesville tomorrow. Nearly $1,000 in cash and jewelry valued at between $500 and $000 were found 011 the two robbers. They refused to give any names, but their a!k indicates that they are Westerners. While they kept their own i.lenity secret, they stated that the man arrested earlier near Dahlonega was me of the ringleaders of the gang ?nd was known as John D. Ander 011. He is said to be an old hand at the game. Kx Sheriff Edwards in reporting the capture of the robbers said the only resistance made by the men was to point an old pistol at their captors when told they were under ar rest. This pistol was found to be empty. When handcuffed the robbers broke down and admitted their participation in the express car hoidup. They refused to give any details further than to implicate the man who was arrested near Dahlone^a. HLEASIO HAD NAKKOW ESCAPE!. Horse of the Hack in Which He Was Hiding Killed. The State says Gov. Blease had a very narrow escape Thursday afteipoan by a runaway horse running at full tilt into a hack in which he was the passenger. The accident occurred at the corner of Main and Laurel streets. The hack in which Gov. Blease was rid in er was irointr north on Main street and when in front of Gedding's grocery store a horse attached to a wagon owned by Willie Gaines r.mashed into the hack, throwing out the hackman and killing the horse attached to the hack. A shaft of the wa on was driven into the horse, penitrating his heart and killing him instantly. The horse was owned by Ruben bright, a well known negro hackman and was driven by Dave McNeal. At the collision Gov. Rlease managed to keep his seat, receiving only a few slight bruises. Dave McNeal was thrown out, but escaped serious injury. MANY 1,1 YKS LOST.

Lawrence Salley, 11 common with the clerks of court of the other forty-two counties in . .^outh Carolina, has been notified ; from the Chief Executive's office not to record the names of any negroes who may apply under the law. If, by chance, any negroes happen to be com missioned. Governor Elle ise says . he "will cut off their political1] heads." This information has been conveyed to the clerks of court in the several counties of the State, being the gist of a letter sent out in niani- . fold from the Governor's ofiice. For ] Hie first time is thus given what may have been the controlling reason why Governor Please revoked the commissions of the 7,000 notaries in the State, called upon the Genera* As- . sembly to place restrictions around ] the notaries lob, and then reappointed those to whom he wished to give the position of notary. Governor Blease's letter to the clerks of court states unequivocally that he has not nor will he commis-h sion any negroes as nortaries public; that the clerks of court shall refuse to record the names of negroes; that if any apply the names shall he sent in to the Governor, as some may have slipped through in the last few weeks, and that if any have been ap- ' pointed "I will cut off their political heads." Under the new laws it Is necessary for a person who has been commissioned from the Governor's office to go to the clerk of court in his county, have his name recorded as a no- 1 ary, with the date of the commission. It is of more than passing interest that this information was not given out at the Governor's office. ? ? Stool Trust is Shrewd. For ingenuity the "Heathen Chinee" * is not to be compared with the steel trust. As restraint of trade and combinations are illegal, the trust, so it is said, gets around the difficulty by its plan of "neighborly kindness. ' This is an application of the Golden " Rule within a limited area. In other ' words other steel concerns are exDect ed to show this "neighborly kindness" by not opposing the trust. If any concern should be so forgetful of its interests as to do it, other concerns, supposedly influenced by the " trusts, are to labor with the unneigh- ' borly action. If it proves obstinate no one knows what would happen to it, but anyone can make a shrewd guess. There are some wonderful and ingenious ways of keeping the letter of a law and of breaking it in spirit. That is the way Carnegie made his millions. He is trying to ease his conscience by giving them away, but he can't. ? Thinks for Herself. That Canada is able to negotiate } commercial treaties with other countries shows how near to being an independent nation she has become in recent years. This is again seen in her possession of a separate army and navy, in her coinage and postage, and in the right to make her own tar- ^ iffs. To be sure the crown has the right of veto on any measure the Canadian parliment may pass, but that right would never be exorcised on any question upon which Canada might make up her mind. In the present reciprocity treaty there are people in Creat Brltian who would like that veto to be used or for the British parliament to go counter to Canada's action. , But Canada would take with ill grace any such interference, and it would but serve to weaken the tie which although sentimental rather than political, binds the ~ daughter to the mother and which at * present is very real and strong. # Killed in Mine.
