Facing the Fulure. There comes a time to most women when they must face the future of wife- hood and motherhood. What that future in store for them depends largely on themselves. To a healthy woman the obligations and conseguences of marriage are a lasting happiness. To a woman suf- fering from irreg- ularity or other ailments of the sex, rharriage may prove a mockery § and motherhood ¥ 2 misery.

MODERN EDU Higher education was the topic under | discussion yesterday by the Congrega- | tional Congress. President David Starr Jordan of Stanford University and Presi- dent Benjamin Ide Wheeler of Berkeley were the leading speakers. Profes E. Brown of the State University contributed an able paper. Profes Jordan spoke in the afternoon on Higher Education of the Pacific Coast,” and Professor Wheeler occupled the en- tire evening session in a discussion of “The of the Teacher.” The on was largely analytica instructive. r Jordan declared pressure of higher education i around the bay of San neisco at the time than anywhere else in ing the highest n idea of ed s far removed from the old as the time and space that ngland and Germ differ < of the university. g- v was established for the s a badge of superiority ce for diplomats and ablished church.

The fault with our universities is that the teacher doés not “come into close enough contact with his students. This can be corrected by increasing the num- ber of teachers. President Harper of the Chicago University has proposed that the emaller, colleges discontinue thelr work at the end of the sophomere year and then send students to Chicago. Dr. Jordan did not favor this plan, helleving that the smaller college ought to remain indepen- dent.

The sald companies charged them very high prices for servi and when the emigrant arrived at his hese companies took | houses and charged and mest of all secure them the destination agents them to bad board them very high: prices, saild agents would ot romised work." P Would appear from the foregoing that the emigration companies of Japan, acting upon the advice of their agents in forelgn lands, stimulate emigration and do it through advertising in their newspapers as well as through their agents, who are in many instances the officers of the villages and towns (I infer as much from the con- | cluding words of the editorial which ap- peared in the same fssue of the paper above mentioned): after commenting on the hardships imposed upon the emigrants by the sald companies the editorfal concludes with these words: ““The managers of such companles are, of course, very bad, yet the officers of the villages and towns who stand in with such companies are to bé more condemned.” Mr. Rice, ex-commissioner of immigration at Vancouver, B. C., went to Japan in No- vember, 1568, under instructlons from this bureau to Investigate the causes of Jap- anese emigration, and while there secured much valuable Information on the subject. From various sources he learned that the | emigration companies are officered by in- | fluential and weaithy Japanese, who en- | deavor tp make it difficuit for an intending emigrant to procure a passport if he does not do €o through one or another of these compantes. It is claimed that by taking the ordinary course it will require from six to nine months to procure a passport, but through the instrumentality of an emi- gration company it may be procured in from two days to two weeks. City Officials Solicit Patronage. Mr. Rice reports that the emigration com- paniés do not employ traveling agens, but rely upon the officlals of cities and towns to solicit patronage, ‘‘examine candidates and instruct them as to pecessary prepara- tions and correct fees.” They also ‘'ad- vertise in local papers, send out circulars and use bulletins which are written in large characters so that all may read.”’ Mr. Rice had an interview with a Mr. Yotsumoto, manager of the Nippon Japan Imin Kaisha, one of the leading emigration companies of Kobe, who reluctantly said: “We have no blanks. When emigrants are wanted we send out agents and coilect them. The emigrant business is a small part of our business. ‘We send no emigrants 1o the United States or Canada. Yes, the steamship companies do allow commissions or discounts on their rates. The amount of this discount depends upon the number of emigrants offered.. We have no agents in the United States or Canada.’” From the official Gazette, a publication {seusd by the Imperial Government, Mr. Rice copied the following, which would in- dicate that Mr. Yotsumato's memory was at fault: .On March 13 permission has been given from the Department of State for Forelgn Affairs, to Mr. Hachitaro Hamanka, man- ager of Japan Emigration Company, that Mr. Masataro Mito shall act as his agent in the neighborhood of Victorfa, British Canada. The address of Japan Emigration Company, §5 Sakaimachi Nichome, Kobe, Japan.” Free and Contract Emigrants. The emigration company hercin referred 10 is the one for which Mr. Yotsumoto acts a& manager. Japanese emigrants are of two kinds—free and contract. The contract emi- grants, according to a statement made to Mr. Rice by an American, who has resided for several years in Japan, but for pru- dential reasons does not care to have his pame made public, are bound to the emigra- tion company for a perfod of three years, and while we have not beer able to procure Such evidence as would prove the existénce of a contract with a person, firm or corpo- Tation in the United States, every circum- stance attending the coming of large num- bers of Japanese Doints to the fact that agents of these companles iIn the United States ars actively engaged in securing em- Ployment fn advance of the coming of Jap neee emigrants. The gentleman whp vol- unteers the Information to Mr. Rice sal “Both free and contract emigrants are alike solicited and induced to go. The free, however, are much less in number than the ofhers. ' The companies have agents in Canada, America, Hawall and Australia. The agent abroad cets orders from con- tractors and sends them to the companies in Japan. The contract laborers to Canada are sreater in number than in_the United States, the latter being few. The contract to Capada is for three years. Free emi- grants to Canade do not' know beforehand the character of *helr work nor the amount of their wages. It is difficult to find contract laborers going to Canada or America. The emigrants are loth to answer questions aboout their goinw, etc.’” Go Forth Blindly. You will obseiive that those going to Canada are not iaformed, previous to their departure from Javan, of the character of Work to he perfotmed, or wages to be pald to them, and thé fact that they were loth to answer questions as to their probable destination ulr\ indicate that the inten- tion was to evade our allen contract labor laws by crossing over to the United States after landing in British Columbla. This gentleman informed Mr. Rice that he was an eye-witness to a_meeting held in & pub. le place between an official of an_emigra- tion company and a number of Japanese laborers, who had been assembled prior to their derarture. and he heard them cau- tioned against repeating a word of the in- structions given them, or volunteering in- formation of any kind in answer to in- quiries. Contract Holders Deported. Coples of the contracts and atfidavits taken at that time, at the port of San Fran- clsco, #how how ‘these Japanese emigrant companies manage to secure the admittance of their peeple into the United States. On the return of Mr. Rice from Japan instruc- tions were lssued to the officlals at San Francisco and alopz the border to care- fully examine every Japanese emigrant. resulted in the sending back of a num- In whose possesslon contracts with emi- gration comnanies were found. Since then the form of contract has been altered m order to_conform to the Immigration laws of the United States, but In every case where a_contract'is produced the immigrant has been ordered deported. At the present time. owing to the vigilance of the immi- gration officlals, the Japanese emigrants landing at Ban Francisco, or at Vancouver cr Victoria, destined for the United States, do not bring a scrap of vaper with them, and while our offictals may be morally cer- tain that th e coming under contract, they can find no evidence on which to ex- clude them under our laws. During the month ot Aoril, 1900, there arrived at Vie- toria €092 Asfatics, nearly double as many as during the three months preceding. Our immigration_offic at Vancouver report that those landing there, mot tick- eted to the United States, disappear in a Very short time and that no trace of them can be found in that nelghborhood. Advices from Consular Agents and others go to s that 9 per cent of the Japanese landing In Canada _eyentually find their way Into the United States. Taken First to Canada. The above gives, in brief, an outline of the methods which were employed a year ago, and I have reason to believe that the Japa- nese emigration companies are more active than they were at that time, Qut, profiting by part experience, and In order to elude the vigilance of immigration officlals at American ports, are sending the bulk of thelr human freight to Canada, where, I have no doubt, they are taken in hand by agents of these companies and carefully in- structed how and when to gain admittance to the United States. In order to check as far as possible this influx of Japanese the department has given the Collector of Customs at Port Townsend ‘authority to employ special Inspectors and those already stationed along Puget Sound have been instructed to exercise greater vig- flance. Another regular Inspector has been detailed for duty at Port Townsend, and the Supervising Special Immigration In- spector is now Investigating the coming of so many Japanese, the causes leading to the recent increase in immigration. the destina- tion of sald immigrants and the parties to whom they apply for work; In addition thereto he will ascertain and report upon the most suitable points on the border at which to station additional immigration in- spectors. Difficult to Kcep Them Out. TUnder the law, as at present framed, it is very difficult fo prevent the pdmission of alien contract laborers or sted fmmi- grants who may be of the excluded classes. Section 1 of the -act of March 3, 1891, speci- fles that the following shall be excluded: *‘Ali idiots, Insane persons, paupers or persons likely to become a public charge, persons suffering from a loathsome or a dan- gerous contagicus disease, persons who have been convicted of a felony or other infamous crime or misdemeanor involving moral turpi- tude, and also any person whose ticket or passage is pald, unk it 1s affirmatively and satistactorily shown on special inquiry t such person does not belong to one of foregoing excluded classes. ny are under the impre: n_that a “‘person whose ticket is pald for with the money of another, or who is assisted by others to come,”” may be excluded because of such assistance; but if it is showr on spe- clal inquiry that ‘such person does not be- long to one of the excluded classes above mentioned such assistance is not to be con- sidered bar to h admission. An evidence that Japanese immigrants are instructed or “‘coached’ is found in the fact that nearly every ome comes provided with 530, which he terms his s 3 fmpression that the sum of $30 i{s n is entertained by more than the Japanese, but as a matter of fact no amount of money is_required. Section 1, act of March 3, requires that immigrants shall state ether in possession of money, and if 8o, whether up- ward of $30, and how much if $30 or less The act does not specify, however, that fail- ure to produce §30 shall be a bar to admi slon, for in passing upon the right of an im migrant to land all the facts bearing on his case shall be_considered. Immigration offi- clals at San Francisco, at Puget Sound and at Vancouver, B. C., have reason to believe that the emigration companies of Japan provide each emigrant for whom a passage is secured with $30; that this sum is efther turned over to the agent in this country on the admission of the immigrant or s:ibse- quently paid by him from his earnings here: and there is little doubt but that the *‘show money”’ of the Japanese immigrant is, as a rule, provided by another in order to secure his admission to the United States. Evidence of a Contract Essential. The courts have so interpreted the alien contract labor law as to require that evi- dence of a contract, having been made abroad, must be produced in evidence in order to bar an immigrant suspected of be- ing a contract laborer. The courts have not as yet ruled upon the alien contract labor law considered in the light of the causes out of which it grew. Up to the present time the attorneys for the Government, in trying cases of violation of the alien contract labor law, have declared upon the existence of a coniract and have endeavored to prove that a contract existed, instead of attempting to show that the object aimed at in the passage of the alien contract labor law, to wit., the protection of the American workman from competition with cheao foreign labor, was being frustrated. Under existing law and decisions based upon it it is difficult to re- ject those ceming in violation of the alten contract labor law. and as the Japanese oc- cupy the same position in the eve of the latw as citizens and subjects of the most favored nation. they cannot be rejected when apply- ing for admission unless it is shown upon special Inquiry that they belong to one or the other of the foregoing excluled classes. Treaty With Japan. In the treaty between the United States and Javan concluded November 22, 1894, and ratified by the President February 15, 185, it 18 provided in the first pyragraph of articie I that: ‘“The citizens or subjects of each of the two high contracting parties shall have full liberty to enter, travel or reside in any part of the territories of the other contracting party, and shall énjoy full and perfect pro- tectis for their persons and property.’’ \_ The concluding naragraph of article 2 of that treaty, which deals with commerce and navigation, “It Is, however, understood that the stipu- lations ‘contained in this and the preceding article do not in any way affect the laws, ordinances and regulations with regard to trade, the immigration of laborers, police and public security which are in force or which may hereafter be enacted In either of the two countries.” It would appear that while the treaty of 1584 with Japan remains In full force and effect, no law, except such as would apply alike 'to persons of all nationalitles belong- Ing to the same class or classes, can be made effective, The agitation of 187778 to which you refer was for the passage of a law to exclude the Chinese from admission to the United States, but it was found that under the treaty of 1668, known as the Burlingame treaty, the Chinese had, under article V, the right to free migration to the United States ‘‘for purposes of curiosity, of trade or as perma- nent residents.’ 'he agitation to which you refer having crystallized into a sentiment against further immigration of Chipese, Congrese authorized the President to ap- point = committee ““to neotlate a modifi- cation of the existing treaties which shall not be in direct contravention of their spirit’’; and following that came the treaty of 1850 ‘with China known as the “‘immigra- tion treaty.” Since then it has been possi- ble to enact lexislation which has been ef- . fective in excluding Chinese laborers. Opposed to Emigration. I am informed, and I believe reltably so, that the Japanese Government is opposed to the emigration of its subjects. If such is the case it is possible that that Government would be willing to unite with ours in a modification of the treaty of 1864; but as that is a_matter with which the Immigration Bureau has nothing to do I merely direct your attention to it in passing, for it rests with Congress to take the initiative in such a matter. I do not think that mrzhenl‘on need * grow out of the recent admission of some twenty-five Doukhobors, for while they were evidently assisted there was no evidence upon which to prove that they were contract laborers: their movements are being care- fully watched, and {if it should be deter- mined that they really came under contract 1893 { been far from being a perfectly well man, | | i I | JAPANESE LURED EASTWARD.
