JAPANESE IN CALIFORNIA.

London, Nov. 15.
The Morning Post Washingten correspondent wires that us a result of the Supreme Court decision cabled on the 12th upholding the California State anti-alled land laws, it is estimated that 50,000 out of the 135,000 Japanese in California must either, migrate To other States or return to Japan. Between a million and a million and 2 half acres of some of the richest agricultural lands in California now leased to Japanese must revert to white owners and the grea: vegetable producing industry of California, of which eighty per cent is in the hands of Japanese must be abardoned. It is most probable that Japanese must retire from mercantile business if every descrip tion as the law which the Supreme Court has sustained makes it illegal for Japanese to enter into leases for their places of business.
