RAINEY IN ANANIAS CLUB
Illinois Congressman Latest Addition
to Membership.
Washington, Feb. 11.—Represents
tive Rainey (111.), whose speech in the
house on the Panama canal purchase
has drawn forth a rebuke from the
state department in an official reply to
the Panama government's protest,
was inclined to assume that he had
been elected to the "Ananias club."
This was based on the statement in
Secretary Bacon's letter as to the
president's view of Mr. Rainey's
speech. Mr. Rainey made a statement
in which he said that he did not ex
pect President Obaldia of Panama or
President Roosevelt of the United
States to agree with him. He added
that it is only necessary to arrive at
some fact uncomplimentary to th
present administration to be elected
to the "Ananias club," provided th
candidate has the courage to make
the facts public.

a New Measure and Declared Hs
Would Fight Reconsideration of
Vote by Which Bill Adopted.
Sacramento, Cal., Feb. 11.—All ef
forts of Governor Gillett and his sup

perate.
Grove L. Johnson, author of the

would make a fight against reconsid
eration of the vote by which the
liool bill was passed last week. He
would agree to no new measure, as
was proposed. The governor urged
Johnson to withdraw from the fight,
explaining the situation between a
pan and the United States as he
learned it from President Roosevelt,
but the assemblyman "stood pat."
Later in the day Assemblyman J.

a resolution withdrawing Grove
Johnson's bill compelling the Japa

opinion of the assembly that body had
the power to enact such legislation,
but in view of the attitude taken by
the federal authorities would rescind

WIDELY PUBLISHED IN JAPAN
Dispatches Telling of Sentiment on
Pacific Coast.
Tokio, Feb. 11.—The Japanese news
papers continue to be filled with dis
patches emanating from San Fran
cisco, New York and London, indicat
ing a serious increase of anti-Japanese
sentiment in the Pacific coast states,
which is said to be rapidly spreading
to interior states.
The Asahi's San Francisco corre
spondent has cabled to the paper al
leged statements and utterances of
senators and others which are of a
most sensational character. The dis
patches state that all the Pacific
states are developing grave opposition
to the Japanese residents and urging
legislative measures which would de
prive such residents of all rights
which enable them to reside and
transact business in these states.
The Hochi, which is-vOf the sensa
tionalist pre3s, makes heated and pas
sionate comments on the American
dispatches and concludes with the
Japanese proverb, "Even Biiddha loses
patience if his face is slapped thrice.'
London dispatches also depict the
anti-Japanese situation tn America aa
grave.
Negotiations With Japan Pending,
Reno, Nev., Feb. 11.—In a tele'
graphed interview to the Reno Ga
zette with Senator Nixon of Nevada
at Washington Senaior Nixon says
President Roosevelt had informed
him that certain matters were unde
consideration between the United
States and the Japanese governments
which, if brought to a successful con
elusion, would eliminate the present
cause for complaint. Radical state ac
tion at this time would render difficult
the desired result.

D. Evans, who is in Chicago to ap

tain there will be no war between the
United States and Japan. His esti
mate of the American-Japanese situa
tion he put tersely.
"I can't understand where this talk
of war can come from," he said.
"War is a serious business. It Is not
keen people of a high strung, nervous
temperament. It Is possible that they
resent the measures recently advo
cated in California, but never to the
point of war.
"There If no doubt In my mind that
California is acting within its rights
when measures are adopted against
the Japanese. But, of course, these
measures must be adopted with equal
forc toward all aliens. And then,
ap:ain, If any measure passed in Cali
fornia interferes with a national
treaty they instantly become void and
of no force."*

strange disappearance of T. A. Cox,
general manager of the Arizona and
