CALIFORNIA AND THE JAPANESE.
FURIOUS FEELING OVER MR METCALFE'S REPORT.
Received December 20, 10.20 p.m, SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 20.
A furious feeling prevails here over Mr V. H. Metcalfe's report on the Japanese. The feeling against the Japanese is so acutethat it is feared that nothing President Roosevelt or the Federal Government can do will have the slightest effect in improving the situation. The race feeling is spreading all over the Pacific Slope.
j (The report of Mr V. H. Metcalfe, I Minister of Commerce and Labour, stated that there are only ninetythree Japanese children attending the schools in San Francisco, and they are clean, bright, and wellbehaved. Since these scholars are scattered over the city it was impossible for them to attend separate schools from those provided for American children. Mr Metcalfe claims that the Japanese are entitled >to the fullest protection and the highest consideration.)

Received December 20, 11 p.m. NEW YORK, December 20. The Eastern press unanimously endorse President Roosevelt's attitude.
