leaded mass meeting held last night
In this city, Inflammatory speeches
were made nnd wildly cheered, con
demning the action of the legisla

making it impossible (or aliens from
the Oriental Islands from holding
property In the commonwealth.

Incensed at the action of California
and demand of the Imperial govern
ment that arms bo resorted to for
the protection of their rights In case

The Japaneso ambassador at
Washington, acting on Instructions
from his government, has lodged a
protest with the government of the
Cnlted States, thus duplicating the
rendition that developed during the
Roosevelt administration.
The question Is all the more com
plicated because of laws existing in
Japan which discriminate against to

In tho Islands, thus duplicating, In

clude all foreigners from laud own

bar only such aliens as may be In
capable of citizenship? notably, the
Chinese and Japanese.
The question becomes all the mor
grave because of the opinion pre
vailing around the world, that there
must be a contest between the
Oriental powers and the United
States for tho mastery of tho Pacific

l'lt(X;R KSS1VES It EFCSE
TO TALK AMALGAMATION
New York, April 18 ? The Natiou
r.l committee of tho Progressive par
ty this morning issued the state
ment that there Is no possibility ot
tl c amalgamation of the Progress
ives with any of the other political
parties. The Progressives claim
that they lmvc? succeeded tho Re
publican party, by taking nil the
g< od it contained and leaving the
bad, and they can never con^prom
lse with the^ollowers of tho stand
pat principles. Tho committee
claims to be constantly drawing re
c ults from both tho other parties
and the noxt election will place them
Ic. power.
All talk of a compromise or a con
solidation with any other party
comos from the other Bide, the
Progressives will have none of it.
As a wan grows older, lie takes better
eare of liia clothes, and lie is a
lot better satisfied with theui.
THE service of this store is not
confined to young men. Any
man of any age can be well-fitted,
and conservatively dressed in these fine
Hart Schaffner & Marx
suits and overcoats. Now is the time
to see them.
