The decision of the Federal authorities not to In stitute criminal proceedings against E. H. Harrlman in connection with the railroad operations was the prin cipal subject of discussion on Wall street. Mr. Harrlman spent the day at his country home, and his asso ciates would not discuss the matter for publication. Interests friendly to Mr. Harrlman assert a belief that the government will nhandon its case against the so- called Harrlman lines. The idea that Mr. Harrlman would be criminally prosecuted was never very seriously entertained In financial circles. Mr. Harrlman's friends say that there has been no basis for such action and that most of the alleged illegal acts Imputed to him are barred by thA Ktntnte of limitations. The stock market's response to the news was a substantial rise in the Harrlman is sues, with corresnondlng advances elsewhere in the list. Down toWork, Norfolk, Va., June 10.

AOKI STAYED OFF HIS DEMANDS Takahashl Has Gone to Japan to Arouse the Public Against United States, Washington, June 11. Thousands of dollars are being raised by the Japanese of the Pacific Coast to carry out the compact they have entered into with the Progressive party of Japan for the overthrow of the Sal onjl ministry, the annulment of the exclusion clause In the Immigration bill and the guarantee of the natural ization rights of the Japanese resid ing In this country. These additional factors in the international plot were vouched for in semi-official circles last night. The enormous fund which Is being collected will be used to arouse a feeling In the Japanese empire antagonistic to the American government. , Notwithstanding the sweeping de nial of the existence of the alliance between the Japanese of the Pacific Coast and the Progressives, the antl adminlstratlon party of Japan, given out by Charles Takahashl, of Seattle, the Associated Press secured the text of certain reports which he forward ed to M. Yamaoka in Seattle and the Japanese Society of Seattle. In one of the reports, which, It was authoritatively stated, was afterward read by M. Takahashl at a secret mass meeting of Japanese In Seattle on the evening of May 26, he quoted Ambassador Aokl s statement In re gard to the relations between the United States and Japan growing out of the recent disturbances In San Francisco and the adoption by the congress of the United States of the Immigration law excluding coolie labor from Continental United States. Takahashl's report in part 13 as fol lows: "My object in discussing the Jap anese Immigration limitation law with Ambassador Aokl was: "First The nullification of the present Immigration limitation law. "Second Opposing the would-be Immigration law (proposed new treaty) said to be contemplated by- Japan and the United States. "Third Acquiesence In the Jap anese naturalization rights In the United States." To these discussions Ambassador Aokl said: "Japan has ample grounds to op pose the immigration limitation law. but. if we go to extremes, I rear war. Regarding this Japanese limitation law, the Japanese government abso lutely disagrees with the United States and will ask the naturaliza tion rights for the Japanese people. whidh the United States government will have eventually to grant. At present the re-election of a president is nearing, America so far nesltating at this time to bring up these ques tions, which are unpopular in Amer ican politics. KUROKI SAYS NO WAR. Ridiculous to Think of Any Serious Trouble Over Small Matter. Renttle. Wash.. June 11. General Baron Kurokl, who represented the Japanese Emperor at the Jamestown Exposition, declared here shortly De fore sailing on the Kaka Maru for home, that no danger of war exists between America and Japan. "The frlendshlD that has existed for 2 0 vears cannot be broken by such an incident as that at San Fran cisco," he said "There will be no war between Japan and America in my iifoMme or in vour lifetime. There may be momentary flurries and some excitement engendered, oui uuiuiug serious will come of It. The senti ment of frlendshlD between the two countries Is too deeply seated among the people to allow a small matter 10 provoke an open rupture. More Loss In Bay City. San Francisco, June 11.
