Under the Wilson bill, which became a law in 1890, convict labor made goods may enter into active com petition with the goods manufactured by "free labor" and under this Federal law a state could not pass a law that would prevent the shipping into the stato of prison-made goods of other states.

Nothing which' has been said in the whole range of comment on the possibility of war be tween the United States and Japan has surprised certain Washington officials so much as the seeming unanimity of opinion in the country that we are ut terly unprepared for a fight with the Orientals. There is a prayerful hope that no war will come, but, if it should come, the strong probabilities are that the pessi mists, and they seem to abound in every section of the land, will find that they have looked upon the prospect with blue glasses. Congressmen have come into Wash intgon from every district and all of them seem burdened with the belief that, if trouble comes with Japan over the California school question which is a minor matter or over the enact- tn tin mnrli nn the impropriation bills before tho holidays, and tho circum stance will havo tho effectof condensing tho consideration of tho 14 regular sup ply measures into two months. Considering that tho aggregate of tho appropriations to be considered will approximate $1,000,000,000, some sen ators and members express tho opinion that congress cannot do better than give all of lbs time to these measures. Tlio report on tho ship subsidy bill probably will be an exception to tho rule for no general legislation. Tho friends of that measure have never been more insistent than now. They aro extremely hopeful, and yet very appre hensive. The bill has passed tho senate and is in committee Jn tho house. Tho com mittee lias heretofore been quite evenly divided, but the advocates of tho bill believe tlmt they will be able to get it out in due season and they hope for its consideration when once reported to tlio house.

Him (III Japanese Government Asks Too Much for Her Subjects. Washington, Dec. 3. Tlio relations between tho United States and Japan as a result of tho attitude of tho Japan ese government toward the California authorities in school matters havo be come acute. An erroneous impression as to tho president's position has been widely circulated. The president absolutely concurs with the opinion of Secretary Metcalf that the Japanese have no cause for grievance and that no treaty right has been infringed. At the outset the pres ident took the stand that treaties su perseded all state and other laws. Now he is convinced that, in giving tho Jap anese students 'equal educational rights while separating them from other schools, all has been done that is ne cessary. Outside of racial differences, there is another reason for segregation, and that is that many of the Japanese stu dents are adults. The president will stand strictly upon treaty agreements, but he thinks too much is being asked by the Japanese government. It Is known that the president feels that the Japanese, with an enormous personal conceit nnd tremendous personal ego tism, are trying to impose upon tho people of San Francisco and tho Pacific coast.
