[BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH — COPYRIGHT.] j [per press association.] I ' London, February 8. i The New York correspondent of | the Times reports that the Govern- j ment at Washington is seriously concerned over the situation on the Pacific Coast, which originated in California proposing restrictive and offensive legislation against the Japanese. \ Other States are joining California j in the anti- Asiatic crusade, and it is ' feared that unless the National Le- ' gislature earnestly deals with the ' question of Asiatic immigration these j State Legislatures will continue their ! ; irritating tactics and arouse Japan- ' ■ ese resentment. j It is believed that Japan has noti- ' fied America that the proposal to : segregate Japanese school children, ' I made by California, is the most offen- ' j sive of all the proposed measures. I j San Francisco, February 8. ; i The Californian House of Repre- i sentatives has postponed action on the Bill relating to the segregation j of Japanese school children. |
