AMERICAN IMMIGRATION LAW.
Washington, May 31. The Japanese "Ambassador Mr. Hanibara has delivered the Japanese protest against the exclusion clause of the new United States Immigration Law, to Mr. Chas, E. Hughes, Secretary of State.
The Japanese protest is coupled with a request to the American thoverment to take all possible stops for the removal of discriminu tory measures, The Note declares that international discriminu fons are particularly unwelcuine when based on race, and the his tory of commercial agreements between the two countries shows that the Japanese Government sought to protect its nationals from dis- criminatory inmigration legislation by the United Stutes, which position is "fully understood and appreciated by the American Government."
Citing the Japanese-American trénty of 1911 the Japanese hote points out that the new legislation is In entire disregard of the spirit und circumstances underlying the treaty.

HOW
KING
TUT
CAME TO THE
THRONE OF EGYPT.
Rocent discoveries ando by the lato Lord Carnavou-in the Land of the Sphinx prove the existence, thousands of yours ago, of one of the "missing links" in the chain of Egyptian dynastios. The founder of this dynasty, King Tut-nukh-amon was the identical cruel Pharaoh of the Old Testament, who was responsible for the oxodus from Egypt of the Hebrew slaves.
f
Thousands of years ago, before the desire for power and woulth had hardened his heart, he was the "Rudolph " of his day. Ho was thon as graceful and upright as a young palm tree, with the hency color of his skin enhanced by the careful application of kohl and houna. He turned the hoads of all the maidents and won the hand of Pharaolt's daughters. This was no mean coup for an insignificaút prince, for he gained a beautiful bride and because intrareb of a vast enipire.
But there is one little point to consider. He came within the turn of a fickle dancing girl's heart, of being a cumpleto nonentity! This girl---her name was Arvia-was court culebrity, was called "The Dancer Of The Nile, Hor story is told with singular beauty in the picture of the sume title that is coming to the World Theatre ON Wednesday next.
It was this way: Prince Tut-ankh-amen had a rival for the hand of the Princoss, a prince of Syria, called Karmit. Karmit was hero. He had rescued the Princess from a band of thieves. How the Princoss may have been a Princess, but she was first and last a woman, and consequently subject to all the foibles logic. Liko wil the ladies, who "adorod" heroes, and promptly full dosperately in love with Karmil Sho plainly intimated in him her desirou to bestow upon him merely the throne of one of the greatest ampires the world had known, in oxchange for-himself.
Had he agreed to this bargain there would have boun no King Tut-ankh-a mun.
Since the Fates had deered that Prince Tut-ankh- .amen should rule over Egypt, a more Princess could hardly provail against them, so the lovers escapod to far Syria.
