JAPANESE ARE PLEASED.

By Events Connected With Passage of Immigration Bill. Washington, February B.—Notable improvement in the relations between the United States and Japan is believed to have resulted from the events in the house of representatives last week connected with tlhe passage of the Burnett immigration bill.

Reports from Tokio are to the effect, that a profound impression was caused in the Japanese capital, not only by the refusal of the house to include in the bill the proposed prohibition against the entry of Japanese into the United States, but even nyDre by the nonpartisan appeal of Representative Mann. Tiie demonstration of the fact that in dealing with such large matters of international importance Americans stand ready to ignore mere party considerations, and that there is no leasonable ground for expecting a different viewpoint on international affairs to result from a change in the political cast of the administration is said to have been something of a revelation.
