ORKGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Waali
iriRton, Vob. 3. Senator Piles, of-Wash-iiiRton,
made a decided hit in the Son
ate today Willi his speech in support of
his bill appropriating $700,000 for Gov
ernment exhibits and. buildings at the
Seattle exposition.
It was his first set speech in the
Senate, and the manner in which it was
received and the comments it evolved
weie very gratifying to the Senator.
That he materially helped his cause
was generally conceded; that he helped
himself was equally apparent. In fact
many Senators who congratulated him
told him he had remained silent too
lonir. He spoke for an hour and a half,
beginning wtth a half-filled Senate.
"When he concluded the Senate was
nearly full, and thtre were few vacant
seats in the galleries.
Mr. Piles paid a glowing tribute to
the resources and development of the
Northwest, both in respect to its agri
cultural interests and the commerce of
the Pacific. He declared that the com
merce is not as great as it should be.
Germany and Great Britain have paid
more attention to that field of activity
than have the United States. The ex
position in behalf of which he spoke,
ho said, would promote interest in the
groat feature of American ascendancy
on tiie Pacific.
Plies said the people and the State of
Washington had contributed J2.0OJ.00O
dollars to the great exposition. He said
the foreign exhibits will be confined
strictly to the product of nations bor
dering upon the Pacific Ocean and
directly interested in the development
of the Pacific trade. The exposition
will, he said, illustrate the wonderful
mineral resources of Alaska and will
enable the United States to enter Into
trade relations with Asia and South
America and will increase commeree.
Piles pictured in vivid language the
settlement of the great Northwest in
the face of predictions made by dis
tinguished statesmen adverse to the
practical utility of that region.

SEEKING TO EVICT MINERS
Wilkeson Coal Company Begins Ac-
tion Against Strikers."
TACOMA, Wash., Feb. 3. (Special.)
Eviction proceedings were brought in the
Superior Court today by the Wilkeson
Coal & Coke Company against eight of
its tenants, most of them strikers, xo
have failed to pay their rent. Writs of
restitution were issued against all the
defendants upon the filing of 300 bonds
by the coal company, and unless counter
bonds are filed within the next three days
by the miners, the Sheriff of Pierce
County will turn the miners out of their
homes.
The move to evict the strikers is the
latest development in the strike situation
at Wilkeson. Several weeks ago it was
announced the strike had practically been
broken, but a number of the miners have
so far refused to return to work. These
are the defendants In the actions brought
by the company.
BANQUET TO THE OFFICERS
Government Recognizes Inadvisabil
ity of Further Travel to United
States at Present. .
VICTORIA, B. C, Feb. 3. News was
brought by the steamer Empress of
India, from Yokohama, that since the
restrictive measures against emigra
tion to America, the Japanese emigra
tion companies are looking to South
America. The steamer Itsu Kushima
Maru has been chartered by the Ameri
can Emigration Company to take 1000
Japanese, to Peru, and another emigra
tion company has been permitted to
dispatch 500 to Callao.
Representatives sent to Brazil by the
Kokoku Emigration Company have re
turned after making arrangements to
send 3000 Japanese yearly to 'that coun
try, and arrangements are under way
with Colombian, officials from Bogota,
who are In Tokio, to secure Japanese
laborers for Colombian plantations,
railways, etc. An agreement has also
been made with the Pacific Phosphate
Company, which controls Ocean Islp.nd,
to allow Japanese immigration there.
In an interview at Tokio, Count Hay
ashi. Minister of Foreign Affairs, said
he realized emigration to America was
Inadvisable and had decided to restrict
it, as well as the traffic of laborers to
Hawaii under the guise of students.
If transmigration from Hawaii does
not cease, he proposes to prohibit eml
gration there entirely and has decided
to prohibit Japanese going to Mexico,
it being renorted conditions there are
not favorable, and Japanese go there
merely to transpass Into America.

MILITARISTS LOSING POWER
Japan's Middle Class Rebelling at
Increased Taxation.
VICTORIA, B. C. Feb. 3.-Advices re
ceived by the Empress of India from Yo
kohama show that the Military party,
which became dominant in Japan since
the Japan-China war, and which has"
since practically ruled the government of
Japan, is beginning to lose its power.
The middle class, growing up as a result
of the progress of industrialism, embit
tered by the increasing taxation and seri
ous development of the financial situa
tion, is bitterly attacking the Militarists
and the recent resignations of the Fi
nance and Communications Ministers Is a
side light of the coming struggle.
It is considered Japan is at the parting
of the ways and must- abandon her mili
tary and naval expansion schemes or im
pose further burdens on commerce and
industry, which those who ear them will
resent. The time has come for decision
between the military and industrial ideal,
and it is considered that if the Military
party is favored Japan will have declared
for national bankruptcy.
The Military party, it is said, recognizes
the crisis, and to postpone it, will likely
"consent," as the Japanese papers put it,
to the reduction of revenue for military
purposes. Count Okuma is among the
latset recruits to the industrial forces.
In a recent speech he attacked furtlier

amount was reoeived.
Judge lunch's order, in addition to
authorizing suit for $97,500, directs that

NEW ATTACK ON FINLAND
Czar Rebukes Diet and AVyi Prob
ably Depose Governor.
ST. PETERSBURG. Feb. 3. The Em
peror today read a sharp rebuke to the
Finnish Diet, which last session passed
an appropriation of 20,000,000 marks as
the Grand Duchy's contribution to the
military defense of the Empire in lieu
of recruits, with a rider declaring that
tills was the final payment under the
agreement of 1905 abolishing military
service in Finland.
The Emperor announces that the dis
position of the military funds of Fin
land are exclusively his prerogative,
and ignores the condition. The decision
is regarded as the first step in the new
campaign against Finland. Governor
General Gerhard, who vainly endeav
ored to Induce the Emperor to overlook
the Diet's rupture of the agreement,
will probably be retired.
