SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CAIJ,
WASHINGTON, June 10.— The
Japanese agitation may lead Sec
retary Straus of the department of
commerce and labor to visit San
Francisco soon for the purpose of
gathering information at first
hand as to just what the attitude
of the Pacific coast is toward the
Japanese, how they are treated
and what basis there may be for
the complaints lodged by 5 Jap^n
that its citizens arc not safe in
California. Secretary Straus is
debating the question whether
he had not better extend" his
journey to Honolulu in order, to
study the effect of immigration
on the Questions. If he' can find' time
to <5o so. he "will visit Hawaii.
The relations of this country with
.1 f.pan are sot at all satisfactory. In
rpite off the repeated assurances of
diplomats on both sides that "every
thing: Is lovely. JCo progress -what
ever has been made toward the pro
posed new treaty with f Japan, provid
ing 1 for the exclusion of Japanese la
borers. . * ' .
Judging- from the statement of Am
bassador : Aokl, made public today,
the Japanete not only do not in
tend to enter into such a treaty,
but after the presidential cam
paign will try to secure .t he repeal of
the present exclusion law. The Japan
ese ministry is greatly embarrassed by
the attacks of the opposition upon its
action In acquiescing in the exclusion
ef laborers by the United States. The
opposition desires to brand this as an
official admission that the Japanese are
not the equal of other nations, and is
still engaged In inflaming the Japanese
people with this statement.
ATEGOTIATIOXS AT STANDSTILL.
State department authorities are now
ronvlnced that the negotiation of an ex
clusion treaty Is. not^ to.be thought M»f.
Notwithstanding the Japanese protests,
the United States Is not at all satisfied
with the' exclusion amendment for. the
reason' that It does not effectually\ex
. dofle the Japanese. They are 'coming
• bere,ln as' large cumbers as before, the
only*3diff erence" being { that they are
SioTrlawbreakera and liable to deporta

That i Haywood Marked for Death ,
Oscar King Davis
BOISE, ; Ida., .June 10.— Cross i examination of Harry Orchard, the pria
dpal, witness. in; the '-trial ''of William" D. Haywood for the murder of ex-
Goverhor ; Stennenberg, continued all day. And when court adjourned
"Attorney"* Richardson not completed his line of questioning about the
attempt " to-. murder f Fred Bradley in San Francisco in the fall ) of 1904. At
the rate *at -which he is ' proceeding he will not_ conclude his examination
of (Orchard for another two days^ After that 'there, will be a considerable
redirect .examination, so that Orchard is likely to be on the stand for the
remainder of the week. • ,
a noticeable change in Orchard's manner today. Heretofore
he-had maintained an attitude of unresisting meeknes3 under any and all
of '•• Richardson's . assaults, ; but ". today *he was rather testy, and several \u25a0 tirae^
he replied with, some^-spirit to' the"; insinuations and assertions of the lawyer.
He adhered unshakably,. however," to^ the course that he*had mapped out for
himself, i andldid : not . hesitate to . admit his guilt of any offense that RFch
ardson-might'charge, no matter how* trivial or", how infamous, provided
only that itwas part of the story that. he had to telL
,v, v 'Thus the. witness confessed -having sold short weight: cheeses as hfs
first crime, arid without a shiver he \went through the details of the fiendish
attempt s to poison the Bradley, family by putting strychnine in the milk.
•But^when". the "lawyer questioned him ;about other things, crimes or pec
cadillos, .-which- were not included in:the history of his life, as he had Cold it,
his Tdenial was \u25a0 instant ; and emphatic. -_'".
ASSERTS THAT ONLY STANDARD IS THE TRUTH
';'(\u25a0,' ; Orchard , makes. it perfectly clear .that no consideration of its infamy
leads'himlto deny participation; in "any- event or undertaking. There is no
"moral abyss* that he 1 -will jiot. admit shaving/ sounded if it -is .connected with
hisownJnarratiye.^But he -will not admit a single thing outside thatnarritiviß.
. and v'eSrery.^such \? accusarion'c or ;-• insinuation vv h c promptly rejects as untrue.
From'lhe ye^y^nrst;o£ ; hi 3 story tip' "to the last, question today he has asserted

throughout -'the day ; : with / rhlsj 'usual

and wai^if anything,- a little quicker' in

so substituted the name of Biliy"*Acker

the-fact that Orchard had 3eeii;Ha'Wley

'.For some reason "Richardson did not

of Orchard's profession Of, religionTHa
dropped * that line of questioning, but'
presently reverted, to it to ask If Or
