Thirty Japanese laborers who arrived at San Francisco on the Doric and the China were not permitted to land in the United States because they were likely to become public charges within, a year. So decided Hart North, Com-? raissioner of Immigration and the Board of Special Inquiry has affirmed that decision. Mr. North has held the office only two months, but during that time has sent 53 Japanese immigrants to the right about. Japanese are no: discriminated against by the immigration law, ?ays a San Francisco paper, although a large part of the publ.ic consider their pres ence equally as detrimental to Amer ican workingmen as the presence of the Chinese. But the law provides that any immigrant who is likely to become a public charge or who comes under contract to labor may be refused ad mission into the country. Of late large batches of Japanese laborers have come on each steamer. In these batches all the men were fitted out alike in Amer ican clothes of the same pattern. The immigration inspectors believed that they were contract laborers, but that fact under any circumstances was diffi cult to prove. The immigrants had been coached to give proper replies to the usual interrogatories made by the inspectors, and had the coachers not overdone the thing their pupils would have walked into the United States by a primrose path. But so anxious were they to disclaim all contract obliga tions to labor that the immigrants one and all asseverated that they would not work or engage in profitable enter prise in the United States under any circumstances. They claimed to be "agricultural students," who expected regular remittances from home, and who came for the purpose of studying or "observing" farming by means of wandering about from place to place. an i:n;lisjimavs opinion. Hawaii .Must Inevitably lie Under American Influence. LONDON. March lS.The Government of Great Britain is surprised at the re part of the Senate Committee on For eign Relations which, after presenting a join: resolution for the annexation of Hawaii, sets forth tiiat Great Britain wa? plotting for the absorption of Ha waii. A high official of the British Foreign Oflic-e said today: "It is unfortunate that th commit tee has such an erroneous impression. I cannot imagine upon what supposed facts they base their report. It seems improbable that the Senators would is sue official statements on no other basis than rumors and suspicions. As a mat ter of fact, nothing is further from Great Britain's intentions than, to inter fere in any way with the existing regime in Hawaii. No steps in that direction were ever contemplated. On the contrary, her Majesty's Govern ment has recognized that the United States has the foremost interests in Hawaii, and that it is natural and in evitable that Hawaii should be under American influence."
