EXCLUSION POLICY.

JAPANESE RESIGNED. PROTEST MADE BY CHINESE. ,~~TOKIO, May 5. AYhile the Government and the country generally are extremely disappointed at the reports that Japanese exclusion will doubtless be adopted when Congress votes upon the conference's report on the Immigration Bill, there is a spirit of resignation. Chinese residents of Tokio, tal'.-ng advantage of the American immigration situation, planned a large c:cii lustration publicly to protest agamst the restrictions on "Chinese iniro ignition in Japan, but upon the advice cf the Chinese Minister, they abandoned ti-e plan and a delegation -listen i visited the Foreign Minister, stating that China expected the same consideration from Japan as Japan hoped to obtain from the United States. The refusal of Japanese to permit Chinese immigrants to land in Japan, they said, was an insult comparable with the insult to Japan by American exclusion. It 1 was, moreover, impossible for the coloured races to stand together while Japan itself negatived the principle.—A. and N.Z. cable.
