JAPAN TO LIMIT EMIGRATION
Must Make Concessions to
Please British Ally.
TREAT AMERICA THE SAME
Restriction of Coolie Emigration to
Both United States and Canada
Only Settlement Negotiations
With Great Britain Begun.
WASHINGTON-. Sept.. 10. That a
stringent exclusion treaty between
America and Japan is measurably near
er realization than the most optimistic
administration official could have be
lieved 48 hours ago, is the judgment
of the members of the diplomatic corps.
This long-sought object is expected to
be attained, perhaps, as an Indirect re
sult of the mobbing of the Japanese at
Vancouver, B. C, last Saturday night.
Officials here 'deplore what they view
as an unfortuante and unwarranted In
fraction of the treaty rights of the
Japanese, but they do not fall -to per
ceive at once the important bearing
that this incident will probably have
upon the negotiations between the
State Department ana the Japanese
Ambassador, looking to the drafting
of a treaty that shall limit the incom
ing of Japanese coolies Instead of al
lowing the subject to be dealt with
In the present loose fashion by what
amount to semi-official undertakings
on the part of the Japanese govern
ment to- withhold passports to coolies
coming directly to the United States.
Restriction Is Sole Solution.
The belief that a treaty Is now with
in sight is based on the conviction of
officials that the Japanese government
will now be brought face to facie with
the fact that, as it cannot discriminate
between Great Britain and America in
the matter of demands for fair treat
ment for Its subjects, and must by this
time be convinced that the problem
presented is really a radlcal one. the
only solution will lie In the formal rec
ognition by Japan of the right to re
strict coolie immigration not only in
America, but In British Columbia. Aus
tralia and the other British colonies.
To take any other view, it is pointed
out here, would mean a breach of the
alliance with Great Britain, or which
the Japanese have been so proil, and
which they regard as so necessary to
the development of their ambitious
schemes for the exploitation of the
East. For. though the. British govern
ment may, and' doubtless will, apolo
gize for the Vancouver affair and even
pay an indemnity.' a repetition of the
incident is believed to be almost cer
tain, unless the British government
yields to the demands of the British
Columbians In the matter of restric
tion of Japanese Immigration.
Negotiations Already Begun.
As a matter of fact, negotiations are
already afoot between the British and
the Japanese governments to regulate
the influx of coolie labor Into the Brit
ish colonies. The Vancouver incident,
it Is believed here, will hasten the ne
gotiations to a conclusion and, if Ja
pan enters Into treaty relations of that
kind with Great Britain, It cannot re
fused to do so with America, so that
there is. after all, a prospect that Sec
retary Root and Ambassador Aoki will
soon again be In conference on this
subject.
SETTLED IX J CIVIL COURTS
Japanese Consul Thinks Riots Will
Cause Xo International Row.
SEATTLE. Sept. 10. (Special.) In the
opinion of Japanese Consul S. Hisamldisu,
' the anti-Japanese riots at Vancouver are
not apt to assume international signifi
cance. The Consul returned to Seattle
last evening from Vancouver and t.Hlay
described his personal share In the rioting
as follows:
"Commissioner 'K. lahli. Acting Consul
Matsubara. of San Francisco, and myself
were, met at Blaine by Consul Morikawa.
of Vancouver, on Saturday evening. At
the time the Consul left Vancouver, 9 P.
M.. there was no sign of rioting. The
four of us reached Vancouver at 11:30 P.
M. and the rioting was then at its height.
The mob made in all five rounds of the
Japanese and Chinese quarters, and as the
four of us drove uj In our carriage the
crowd was making Its fourth round.
"We drove directly through the crowd,
which made way for us and offered no
violence whatever. I observed the ac
tions of the crowd closely, and perceived
that their activities were confined to the
smashing of windows. Xo persons were
attacked, and but one Japanese, so" far as
I could learn, was hurt at all.' He was
struck on the lip by a flying rock, by ac
cident. "Furthermore, the stoning was being
done by not more than 20 boys and young
men. The rest of the crowd, which num
bered several thousands, was made up of
onlookers who followed the boys from
one street to another, but took no part In
the demonstration.
"There was no call for any action on
my part and I cannot say with certainty
just what Consul Morikawa decided upon,
though I am of the opinion that he wired
VANCQUV
MEAN
the facts both to Toklo and to the Consul
General at Ottawa. Because of the irre
sponsibility of the rioters. I hardly think
that the matter will assume any political
significance, though the damage done waa
far greater and the crowds much larger
than in San Francisco. The owners of
damaged property may put in claims
therefor; but that is a matter that will be
settled Jby the civil courts."
MAY BE OUTBREAK TOXIGHT
Arrival of Japanese on Monteaglc
Likely to Provoke Riot.
VANCOUVER, B. C. Spt- 1J: (Spe
cial.) If the steamship Montengle,
due in Vancouver tomorrow with a
shipload of Japanese laborers, at
tempts to land her men. there is seri
ous danger of an outbreak of rioting.
The. temper of the Vancouver public
will not - permit the Japanese to be
landed and the provincial authorities
may temporize with the situation by
refusing to admit the Orientals.
Though Vancouver is quiet now, the
situation has not Improved, for the
Japanese have purchased every avail
able firearm in both Vancouver and

SEATTLE. Wash., Sept. M. A special
to the Post-lntelligencer from Vancou

That Japan does not Intend to make
an International affair of the Japanese
riots which have occurred "In Vancouver
became known tonight, when, in an in
terview. K. Ishli. chief of the Bureau of
Foreign Commerce, stated:
"I have received cable- dispatches from
the Japanese government at Tokio to the
effect that Japan will not make an in
ternational incident of the riots of the
past few days. The relations between
Japan and Great Britain are too close
and too friendly to be destroyed by this
incident. Of course the. resident Japan
ese of Vancouver will demand payment
for damages, but as far as the govern
ment of Japan Is concerned there, will be
no official representation." . .

is of the belief that further rioting in
Vancouver will not occur. The situation
is being handled diplomatically.
The Chinese and Japanese strike, which
went into effect this ' morning, was called
off this afternoon and the Chinese and
Japanese will go back to work tomorrow
morning. In contrast with this, the white
labor unions are debating tonight w.iether
to call a general, strike, tomorrow morn
ing in all places where both white labor
and Orientals are employed.
Vancouver and all other cities of Brit
ish Columbia are facing what may be
come the g-reatest strike In the history of
Western Canada.
DEMONSTRATION IX SEATTLE
Exclusion League Will Repeat Van- !

SEATTLE, Wash., Sept. 10. (Spe
cial.) The Japanese and Corean Ex
clusion League is planning to repeat
the demonstration made at Vancouver
last Saturday, in Seattle. A big. dele
gation of Canadians will be brought
here to take part in a monster demon
stration, declared to be even greater
in 3tze than the one that wrecked the
Oriental quarters in A'ancouver. Local
officials of the Exclusion League say
they will not permit any violence, but
that tneir local demonstration will bo
even more remarkable than the one in
Canada. . s

VANCOUVER. B. C. Sept. 10. The
Chinese and Japanese quarters of Van

Hundreds of revolvers and guns were
sold to Orientals until the police prohib
ited the sale of firearms to any one.
Every Chinese - merchant goes about
with an armed bodyguard and beside the
entrance to every Chinese store stands a
Mongolian with a Winchester rifle.
All the Chinese cooks, millmen, labor
ers and all the Japanese working in the
city and in the country within a radius
of 15 miles from Vancouver, have been
summoned to the Oriental quarter and
are filling all the houses. Besides the

Volcanic Eruption at
Dutch Harbor.
PANIC AMONG THE VILLAGERS
Earth Felt to Quiver, Then
Heavy Detonations Heard.
DAY IS TURNED TO NIGHT
Disturbance Believed to Be Due to
Activity of Mount ' Makushin.
Decks of Revenue Cutter Rush
Are Burled In the Debris.
. SEATTLE. Wash., Sept. 10. (Spe
cial.) Volcanic eruptions accompanied
by terrific electric, storms and slight
seismic disturbances, on September 1
threw the whites and natives of the
Aleutian Islands, Alaska, Into a state
of terror for several hours, while tons
of gra.y-black sand and ashes well upon
the land,as far as the eye could reach.
A difference of opinion prevails
amongtha islanders as to which vol
cano was in eruption. Some of the in
habitants of Dutch Harbor are of the
opinion that' the eruption was" from
Mount Makushin. .situated - some 20
miles to tl"f southwest. Others believe
It was from one of the volcanoes on
Umnak Island," still further to the
southwest. -
. Flee From Homes In Terror.
The first word of . the . . eruption
reached Seattle from Dutch Harbor to
day on the steamship- Victoria, When
the hall of ashes descended upon Dutch
Harbor the inhabitants fled from their
homes In terror. Many of the natives
ran through the village streets scream
ing that the world was about to come
to an end. The lirst Intimation of th
eruption" came shortly after 4 o'clock
when a slight quivering of the earth
was followed by heavy detonations.
Shortly afterward heavy black clouds
were seen fa'r to the southward, and
it was thought at first' that merely an
electric storm was approaching. Grad
ually the black pall crept up over the
surrounding mountales. and then peo
ple were first mystified, then terror
ized to discover tiny particles of sand
falling about the houses and upon the
streets.
By 5 o'clock the village was in dark
ness. Some of the more optimistic '
screwed up enough courage to light
the house-lamps, only to join the con
gregation which had collected about
the streets, where they remained until
driven under cover by the downfall
of ashes.

revenue cutter Rush, Captain D. A.
Alnsworth, which was returning from
the Prlblloff Islands, Was burled above
decks with' the sand and ashes. The
vessel was anchored off Cape Makushin
at 4:30, where the men were allowed
to fish for cod for fresh food. The
vessel ran under the lee of Cape . Ma
kushin and dropped her kedge anchor.
Within a few momenta a great cloud,
lnKy mack, belched forth from the
mountains, spreading over the sea for
miles. Although but a brief time be
fore broad daylight reigned over the
sea, it was necessary to turn on the
electrie'lights aboard the vessel in or
der to see properly.
Officers of the Rush surmised that a
volcanic eruption had taken place, but
could give no definite information as to
the exact location, owing to the fact
that it was lmposlble to penetrate the
gloom. A suffocating odor of sulphur
fumes indicated that the vessel was
not far f,rom the source of the volcano,
and It wa this fact which led many
aboard her to believe that the disturb
ance came from Mount Makushin. Th,ls
theory was borne out by officers of the
cutter Perry, which arrived in Dutch
Harbor one day after the Rush. By of
ficers aboard that vessel It was stated
that smoke could be seen issuing from
Makushin when the Perry was ap
proaching the entrance to Dutch Har
bor. Mount Akutan Also Active.
At Unalaska it is believed that the
volcano is Mount Makushin. All over
that village Is evidence of the disturb
ance. The docks and wharves, houses
and all vegetation are completely coh
ered with gray ash. N. Grey, manager
of the Alaska Commercial Company.
states that he at once thought it was
Mount Makushin In eruption, but stated
that it was impossible to tell definitely
from Unalaska.
From officers of the Rush It was also
learned that Mount Akutan, situated on
the north side of Unlmak Pass, was
also in eruption. Flames and smoke
could be seen Issuing from that peak
as the vessel came into the harbor. On
Tuusday morning, ' September Z, smoke
was also seen by those aboard the
Perry when nearlng Unalaska. As the
Rush ranged within sight of Akutan
huge clouds of steam and smoke rose
in the air. No great discharge of ashes
was discernible at that time.
From the cutter Rush it was learned
that a fierce gale preceded the erup
tion, which was followed by what ap
peared to be lightning and thunder. Of
ficers of the craft state, however, that
the supposed lightning and - thunder
may have been the eruption of the
mountain, insofar as they could tell.
Damage Is Not Serious.
As brief as it was fierce, the gale
which had whipped the sea into foam
suddenly died down. This period was
succeeded by another gale of wind
which dietf-down suddenly like the for
mer one until but. a gentle breeze blew
from landward.
Residents of Dutch Tiarbor and Un
alaska state that' the present eruption
was by far the worst ever experienced
since white people first Invaded tho
land, or so far as has been recorded.
Old Russians say that for years Ma
kushin has been smoking, but that no
serious disturbance has occurred. Had
the fall of ashes not ceased, it was
planned to abandon the two villages.
Other than extreme fright on the part
of the inhabitants, no serious damage
was sustained by cither town.
The eruption occurred in the vicinity
of the volcanic island Perry, which
sprang up from the sea a short time
after the San Francisco earthquake.

OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington. D. C, Sept 10. The battleship
fleet, or part of It, will visit Portland
during its stay on the Pacific Coast, If
Admiral Evans, commanding the fleet,
believes it is. safe "and advisable to. send
the ships up the Columbia. If some
officials of the Navy Department could
have their way, none of the battleships
would fco to Portland. hut since Presi
dent Roosevelt has taken an interest In
the demands of Portland, the Navy De
partment has changed its attitude and
will now withdraw all objection to the
trip, leaving the matter entirely in the
hands of Admiral Evans, that is. provid
ed the President does not go so far as
specifically to order the ships' to Port
land. Senator Bourne wrote to the President
a few days ago asking him to see that
Portland was properly recognized while
the battleship fleet Is on the Pacific
Coast. He pointed out that there is ade
quate depth of channel, both on the bar
and in the river, dwelt upon the advan
tages of sending the ships into a fresh
water harbor and expressed the opinion
that the fleet could go to Portland with
out incurring the slightest risk. -
The President promptly communicated
with the Navy Department and it was to
diiy decided by the Department that a
visit to Portland could be made If Ad
miral Evans deemed Is advisable after
reaching the Coast., The Department
takes the position that it should not issue
arbitrary orders governing the movement
of this fleet, save as to (he main ob
jective points. It is said by naval au
thorities that the depth of water on the
bar and In the Columbia river varies with
the seasons and It Is Impossible for them
to tell at this time what depth will be
found at the time the fleet reaches the
Pacific Coast. Therefore they suggest
the advisability of allowing Admiral Ev
ans td use his discretion, and. If he be
lieves tho battleships can be safely sent
to Portland, to send such of them as he
deems wise, allowing them to stay for
such length of time as he may decide. is
proper. v ,
When it was first decided to send the
fleet to the pacific, the Navy Depart
TRUE. AND ONE STORY
EVANS
ment did not intend to send any of the
battleships to Portland. Some officers
held the opinion that there was not suf
ficient depth of water on the bar or in
the channel; others who believed there
was an ' adequate channel held that it
would be dangerous to send such heavy
vessels to Portland, arguing that battle
ships are not as readily piloted as lighter
,craft. They furthermore thought it
would .be risky to send those expensive
ships across the bar. But when their at
titude became known, protests piled up in
the Department from all members of the
Congressional delegation and from Port
land commercial bodies and figures show
ing the channel depth absolutely refuted
the charge that there was not sufficient
water to guarantee the safety of the
fleet. These figures did not agree with
some figures in the Department, because
the Navy returns were not up to date.
Now that it has been demonstrated that
there is adequate channel depth and
since the President has shown his inter
est in Portland, the Department has no
further objection to sending battleships
up the Columbia, provided Admiral Evans
is willing to assume the responsibility.
The only possible objection to sending
the ships to Portland would be lack of
water, and it has been demonstrated that

L
there Is no ground for such objection.
If the Navy Department had been satis-
fled on this point, it would have so stated
to the President and would have offi
cially, recommended against sending the
battleships to Portland. Its action, of
course, leaves the whole question open
until the fleet reaches -the Pacific, but
before he sails Admiral Evans will have
a conference with the President, and it
is to be presumed be will receive an In
timation that he should send at least
part of his fleet to Portland, unless there
should be a change of conditions which
would make the trip Inadvisable.
In all probability the President will in
dorse the new attitude of the Navy De
partment and leave the matter in the
hands of Admiral Evans, but, If he
adopts this course, it is equally probable
that he will let the commanding officer
understand that Portland shall not be
overlooked.

The spiritualistic kiss (As inter

In character: an awful hit with
Bright Eyes From the favorite pre
scription of Mrs. Pepper-Vanderbilt.
NEW YORK. Sept. 10.-fSpeclal).-The
spiritualistic kiss is applied on the human
cheek at parting. It is not akin to any
other kiss such hs the pinch kiss, the
Ncthcrsole kiss, which is lingering, the.
amateur kiss, which is clumsy and noisy,
or even the affinity kiss, which is soul
ful. ...
This definition is given by a no less emi
nent authority than Mrs. Mary Ann Bcan
nell Pepper-Vanderbilt, the high-priestess
of all properly conducted Long lsfand
spooks. She told about the spiritualistic
kiss soon after she took the stand today
at the Kings County Court House, where
a sheriff's jury and a lunacy commis
sion are Inquiring Into the state of mind
of her elderly husband, Edward Ward
Vanderbilt, upon the application of his
daughter. Miss Minerva Vandeshllt, who
would like to stop her father from trans
ferring such large amounts of property
to his bride. - -
Mr. Griffing started In by asking her
to retail the history of her engagement
to Mr. Vanderbilt. Mr. Vanderbilt sat up
In his chair and smiled reassuringly at
his wife as she began.
He Was So Persistent.
"It started about a year and a half
ago, saia Sirs. Pepper-vanderbilt, l
I said" to him:
" 'My -dear friend! 1 have had one ex
perience in the matrimonial line and that
is enough.' "
"But he was persistent, so persistent.
he reopened the subject. 1 began to
soften. I told him that, if I married
again, it would interfere with my work
among the spirits and perhaps cause me
to break off my contract to deliver lec
tures. He then said to me:
' 'Dearie, when we are married, you
can go on with your work and do any
thing you like.' "
Accused of Promiscuous Kissing.
Mr. Griffing next led up to the story
of the mysterious woman in blue. Miss
Caroline Boynton Darnell, who testified
that Mrs. Pepper was given to passing
out kisses Vsort of promiscuous."
'It is not true that I went to the bed
room of my friend, Mr. Allen, In Provi
dence one night and told him that the
spirit of Dr. Wtnslow had been .ma
terialized," said the lady bishop.
"Did you ever have any improper love
affair with Mr. Allen?" pursued Mr.
Griffing.
"Never."
"Miss Darnell swore that once, when
you and she were in Mr. Allen's office
in Providence, you asked her to go out
in the hall and that she peeped through
the keyhole and saw you and Mr. Allen
kissing and caressing each other. Is
that true?"
- Purely Spiritualistic Kiss.
"Part of that may have been true."
said Mrs. Pepper-Vanderblit. "I prob-'
ably kissed Mr. Allen. I have kissed
Mr. Allen hundreds of times. But it
was the kiss of spiritualism which I
gave him. It is delivered upon the
cheek at parting and it has no rela
tion to any other kiss or any earthly
significance. It is spiritualistic in
character, purely."
"How about the time when Miss Dar
nell says you kissed old Mr. Markwell,
one of the elders of your church, at
your home?"
"That was also a kiss of the same
character," explained Mrs. Pepper-Van-derbilt.
"I have kissed Mr. Markwell
many times probably, but never upon
the lips. Among spiritualists such
kisses are common. I always do it
when parting with friends who hav
seen the light as I see It."
