THE TREATY FAILS AGAIN.
Opposition of Western Senators to
Japanese Measure Taft Explains.
Washington. Feb. 23. The Senate.
although in executive session for two
hours late today, again failed to ratify
the treaty with Japanese, sent to that
body on Tuesday by the President. But
t appears to be in somewhat improv
ed posture. . Senator Hale, who was its
most bitter critic yesterday, is said to
have exhibited no opposition to it at
the session today. Several Far West
ern Senators, however, a?ked further
time to study the matter, and especial
ly to ascertain the sentiments .of their
constituents after they had had time
to understand the nature of the treaty,
Secretary of State Knox had a long
conference with Senator Hale and, it
is said, succeeded in convincing the
Maine Senator that his objections to
the treaty on the tariff side were not
well founded.
The immigration question is said to
have been the question most discussed
in the executive session this after
noon. That the practical effect of the
treaty in that respect is not at all
what the' people of the Pacific coast
evidently have assumed it to be, and
that their fears are groundless, was
the essence of a telegram sent today
by President Taft to Governor John
son, of California. - The President as
sured Governor Johnson that the trea
ty and the accompanying documents
are exactly as they were explained to
the governor by himself and the Secre
tary of State, and that there is no dan
ger of any relaxation of the recent re
strictions upon the immigration of
Jarmne?e laborers. He asks the Gov
ernor to explain the truth of the mat
ter to the California Legislature, be
lievlng that the resolutions adopted by
that body yesterday were occasioned
by a misunderstanding of the effect of
the Japanese treaty.
