CALIFORNIAN ANTI-ASIATIC \
FEELING. ;
!' --.-* '.i;
THE HOSTILITY TO THE JAPANESE. t]
London, January 23. T
. A committee of the San Francisco {
Chamber of Commerce, on thc strength ,
'of experience gained by a recent visit to j
Japan, yesterday unanimously petitioned
the Californian Legislature to defeat the
Anti-Japanese Bills. The committee
stated it was convinced of the absolute
good faith of the Mikado and his Govern
ment regarding the restriction of emigra-
tion to tue United States.
Mr. Or. W. Smalley, "Times" corr"
spondent at New York, declares that San .
Francisco is indulging in wanton mis- 11
I chief-making, dictated solely for local f
party purposes, since the number of ¿
\ Japanese leaving the United States is ^
considerably greater than the number ar- ¿
riving. v
Mr. W. R. Hearst, the proprietor of a t
large number of American newspapers,
demands that the United States battle- ¡,
ship fleet shall return to the Pacific and a
' be kept there since complications are de- o
I veloping which threaten war. u
