Japan Much Influenced by Coming of

from tho Japancso reaidenU of Haora

newspnper men of San Francisco, who
wished to eollolt his viows on tho emi
gration problem. The count is report
ed by the vernacular papers to havo
said that it waa vory difficult to find
out wherein lay tho object of tho dis
patch of tho American battleship
squadron to the Panlflo at this timo. A
good deal haa been mado of tho move

looked upon there aa an occurrence of
Japan, howovcr,
had receivod tho nasurunro of tho
Unitod Btatoa government that it waa
not intended as a monaco to Japan,
but waa merely undertaken for tho pur
poso'of training ofllcora and men.
Novortheleea, whatever tho real ob
ject cf tho movemont might ho, It waa
indisputable that Japan's emigration
policy had been considerably affected
thorohy and It was not easy to sever on-
tlroly tho dispatch of the fleet from tho
policy Japan had lately pursued toward
tho United States in thla connection.

Mexico la Angry.
Washington.Aprll 7 While the ofli
cial relations between the United StateB
and .Moxico were never more cordial
than now, and while there is nothing
in the material interests or desires of
either ropublio which conllicta in tho
slightest degree with tho others, offl
cials of tho American State department
navo bosome suddenly aware of the ex
latence and rapid growth of a public
sentiment in Mexico ol distrust and
suspicion of Americans and the Amerl
can's intentions respecting Mexican ter
ritory. This condition ia made more
exasperating but none the leas harmless
and embarrassing from the fact that it
ia entirely groundless In fact, and the
officials declare has for its basis nothing
unt irresponsible newspaper gossip and
cruioism.
Intoratate Commission Cannot Agree
on Spokano Rate Case.
Wafhlngton. April 0.- After havlrur
the Spokano rate case under consider-
uon lor moro than one year, tho Inter
state Commerce commission la appar
ently hopelessly divided regarding tho
decision which should bo rendered.
The case is tho moit Important upon
tho dockota of the commission, and up
on it hinges tho entire ratoJabrlc of tho
T. ti l ft i .
unitcu mates.
If tho'ccmmiBfllonfBhonld decide with
wio snippers ol Spokane, tho theorv up
on which tho railroads have made ratea
from tho earliest days will be upset and
paat decisions on tho short,, and Jong
naui-ciauEe ol thu commorce act will be
moro or leaH nullified. On the other
hand, if the commission refuees tc dis
turb tho preEent adjustment, a long step
toward establishing the justice of tho
ratemaking methoda of the railroads
will have been taken. Recognizing the
import of the case, the commission went
into a most careful and elaborate invea
tlgation and hearing of all the facta and
listened to arguments from a large
number of the businees, railroad and
commercial lawyers In tho Weat.
Hince tho arguments were heard the
commission haa had numerous confer
ences regard ng a deci8lon, and it de
velops that thoro aro at least three dif
ferent views which thus far have proved
irreconcilable. Tho commiesion haa
struggled in vain to get a major ty re
port and apprarently ia in a deadlock.
The case ia one which had been both
ering tho railroads in tho Northwest for
years prior to the commission's being
given greater powers. Owing to water
competition, according to the railroads,
tho rates to Spokane from the .Eastern
seaboard aro the ratea to the Pacific
coaat, plus the local rates from tho Pa
cific coast back to Spokane. The latter
city insists that this Is unfair.
