Japanese Refuse to Be Crowded Out By United States Labor Unions T (By Associated Press.) New York, July 22.—Many of the Jap anese living In this city have been alarmed by the action recently taken by the labor unions of San Francisco, which ask that the Japanese be excluded as the Chinese are under the Greary act. The San Francisco labor unions are said to be preparing a petition to con gress. The Japanese here are consider ing the wisdom of organizing to fight the plan and may start a counter petition. The attention of Y. Ohoki, who is in charge of the Japanese consulate, has been called to the matter. Referring to the San Francisco resolutions, he says: ' "They want much, these workingmen, that they will not get. Your congress will not pass such a law. I am sure of it. Congressmen and senators who would vote to keep the Chinese out of the United States would decide against law that included Japanese. Our govern ment would surely resent such a discrim ination A^d would pass laws in retalia tion w'hich would hurt the trade of the United States in the east. "'Japan does not want to send laborers to the United States, or any other coun try. They Me needed at home to build roads and d Wehes and battleships, and to serve in the army. It is hard for one ®f the coolie class to leave Japan now, owing to laws which the government has passed to keep them at home. These laws will be made even more strict in thé future, I believe. "There are not many Japanese labor ers in the United States today. .Many of those who are considered laborers are really students who have to work their way while learning to do things after the American fashion. They stay here a few years and then go back home. In this the Japanese differ from the Chinese." "Will the Japanese in this city take •ny action action in this matter?" was asked. "I have advised them to do nothing, for the present, at least," replied Chan ing scarcely a breath of air, and hun dreds of people in the crowded district slept out of doors, or sat up until the wind made sleep possible. At 10 o'clock today the temperature was 75, and four deaths from the heat had been reported.

Washington, July 21.—Exports from the United States to all American countries and islands south of her boundaries showed a marked increase in the fiscal year just ended and exceed those of any other year in the history of our commerce. This is especially interesting in view of the vari ous efforts being made for closer business, com mercial and transportation relations between the United States and her neighbors to the south. New lines of steamers have recently been put on between the Pacific coast of the United States and the west ern coast of Mexico, Central and South America. The great growth of exports from the United States to Central and South America has not kept pace in the past with the growth in other directions. The total exports to South America In 1900 were no more than those of 1890, being in each of those years in round numbers $38,000,000. The same statement holds good with reference to Central America, the total exports from the United States to Central American states being in 1890 and 1900, in each case, in round number $5,000,000. It is to Mexico and the West Indies that Ameri can exports in the decade 1890-1900 show the greatest increase. Exports to the west Indies in 1890 were $13,000,000, and in 1900, $34,000,000. The total exports to Mexico, Central and South America and the West Indies in 1899 were $103,000,000, in 1900, $133.000,000, and in 1901. $138,000,000. Thus the figures of 1901 are $35,000,000 greater than those of 1899, while the 1899 figures are only $1,000,000 greater than those of 1893. XXXXXXXXX9KXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX DEEP RIVALRY AMONG BUTTE SOCIETY LEADERS FOR FLOWER PARADE HONORS There is rivalry among the Butte society leaders and they will outdo them selves in their battle for the honor of having the finest carriage in the great flower parade tonight, in connection with the street fair. The affair has assumed the nature of a friendly, but exciting rivalry for the finest tournout, and the carriages that are. to appear in line will be dreams of beauty. Greenhouses for a thousand miles east and west have been ransacked for roses—great, smiling American Beauties, the most gorgeous Hower that grows. One carriage, that of Mrs. James Murray, will, it is understood, be decorated solely in that one flower, the services of an expert windowdresser having been secured to aid in the arrangement. The car from the Columbia Gardens will he decorated with greenhouse flow "rs grown at the gardens conservatory, and four little girls will act as flower «aeens in the midst of their bowers. This exhibit will not be a candidate for the honor of supremacy, but will typify home grown beauties. Mrs. Lulu Largey, will have a gorgeous carriage, decorated in a lavish style. There will be dozens of other turnouts, some of them costing as high as one thousand dollars, or even more. Itis customary in these parades to use paper flowers, but In this case the real article is none too good. It will be the most notable event of the summer in the way of social display. It is doubtful whether there have ever been a more elaborate display of costly flowrs anywhere in America than will be made today by some of the ex hibitors. A single carriage decorated with a thousand dollars' worth of flowers is something of a rarity anywhere in'the world. Strikers Guarding Against Imported Men (By Associated Press.)

About 50 teachers and prospective teachers signified their inten tion to attend this summer school. Its function Is not to teach, but to train oth ers to teach, and a faculty has been se lected with great care to carry out this idea. The fact that such a number should attend these courses of instruction is a most remarkable and practical demon stration of the utility and value of the system of education that is being estab lished in this island. It also indicates that the people at large appreciate the value of the new educational system, which is beln-g carried out under the di lection of Commissioner Brumbaugh. By the time for the autumn term to ni en more than thirty new school houses will have been completed. But even then there will not be accommodations for half the children of school age. Extra buildings in all towns will have to be vented, as it is quite probable the school | .«ttendance next year will be doubled. i National Metal Trades Organize XXXXXXXXXjXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX * X X (By Associated Press.)
