Japan Apparently Satisfied.

Dispatches from Tokio after the passage of the American exclusion bill report the tone of the leading newspapers as eminently pacific and quiet. Foreign Minister Hayashi has explained that af•ter the present treaty shall be concluded Japan will then seek to remove consular jurisdiction, and for this some sacrifice will be necessary. The news was not taken quite so calmly by the populace, and especially the Japanese in Hawaii were wroth. The latter held a mass meeting at Honolulu and cabled a resolution to President Roosevelt protesting in the name of humanity and liberty agninst the prohibition of their immigration to the United States, as it enslaved them permanently to the Hawaiian capitalists.
