United States,
to
Washington, Juno il. Thousands
ot dollar aro being raised by tho
Japanese ot tho Pacific Coast to carry
out tho compact they havo entered
Into with tho Progressive party of
Japan for the overthrow of the 8al
onjl ministry, the annulment of tho
exclusion clauso In the Immigration
bill and tbo guarantco of tho natural
ization rights of the Japanese resid
ing In this country. These additional
factors In the International plot wero
vouched for In semi-official circles
last night. Tho enormous fund
which Is being collected will bo usod
to arouso a feeling In tho Japanean
empire antagonistic to tbo American
govemmenL
Notwithstanding the sweeping de
nial ot the exlstenco of the alllanco
between tho Japanese ot the Pacific .
Coast and tho Progressives, the antl
administration party of Japan, given
out by Charles Takahashl, or Seattle,
the Associated Press secured the text
ot certain reports which he forward
ed to M. Yamaoka In Seattle nnd the
Japanese Society ot Seattle.
In ono ot tho roports, which. It was
authoritatively stated, was attorward
road by M. Takahashl at a secret
mass meeting of Japanese In Scattlo
on the evening ot May 26, he quoted
Ambassador Aokl's statement In re
gard to the relations between tbo
United States and Japan growing out
ot the recent disturbances In Saa
Francisco and tho adoption by the
congress ot tho United States of the
Immigration law excluding coolie
labor from Continental United States.
Takahashl' report In part la as fol
lows: "My object In discussing tho Jap
an cso Immigration limitation law
with Ambassador Aokl was:
"First The nullification of the
present Immigration limitation law.
"Second Opposing tho would-be
Immigration law (proposed now
treaty) said to bo contemplated by
Japan and the United States.
"Third Acqulesenco In the Jap
nncso naturalization rights In the
United States."
To these discussions Ambassador
Aokl said:
"Japan has ample grounds to op
poso tho Immigration limitation law,
but. It wo go to extremes, I fear war.
Regarding this Japanese limitation,
law, tho Japanese government abso
lutely disagrees with tho United
States and will ask tho naturaliza
tion rights for tho Japaneso people,
which tho United States government
will havo eventually to grant. At
prcsont the re-election ot a president
Is nearlng, America so far hesitating
at this tlmo to bring up theso ques
tions, which aro unpopular In Amor
lean politics."
