It Is understood that as soon as the hill Is pased Viscount Chimin, tho Jnpnneso ambassador, will filo a formal protest with tho stato depart ment. It Is expected that President WIN sou will siiKROit that tho quickest way to secure results Is lo bring, ac tion In tho federal courts to test tho constitutionality of tho hill. All negotiations so far between Ambassador Chimin and government officials have been of tho most friendly character. Proslilunt Wil son believes Jupun will flRht hur bat tles In tho courts and not otherwise. If Japan begins a test enso tho administration wilt decide, whether tho lilw attacked Is of biicIi a char acter us to seriously mennco rela tions with a friendly power.

He pooh-poohed tho idea that any of tho powers had tho slightest desire to so to war with tho United States, and declared that there never would be occasion for war if this country simply will treat nil nations with justice uml friendliness, Carnegie derided the iwssibility of there ever being war between tho United States and Great llitaiu or France, giving bis reasons in each ease. As for the possible invasion of this country by a great foe, tho ironmnstor had other comment. "Thcro is no nrmed nation or com bination of nations so foolish as to dream of invasion," ho declared. "Their ships might try to do some mischief, firing many miles away from the const, but no power in tho world could, or would attempt to laud or march inland. If any did, tho number left to answer the roll call and return would bo small indeed. British authorities consider it must bo possible for an enemy to land as many ns 170,000 men upon their island in threu weeks. Wo could eopo with seven times that numbor."
