UNUSUAL REPORT MADE ON JAP EMIGRATION

State Department Furnished With Statement Showing Brightest and Darkest Fields for Nippon's Labor.

BUT 650 NOW LEFT IN PHILIPPINE ISLANDS

WASHINGTON, Friday, July 15. The darkest and brightest fields for Nippon labor are shown in a report which the state department has received, surveying the condition of Japanese emigrants abroad. Since the strict enforcement of the Japanese-American agreement, the Oriental emigration companies have suffered considerably and several have been disorganized.

Of the Japanese who have gone to the Philippines at their own expense, or were sent there by emigration companies, about 650 now remain, according to the Japanese statement.

As the Philippines constitute a part of the United States, no contract laborers are admitted. In Hawaii the trouble between the planters and laborers has been satisfactorily settled, but only 1,026 Japanese went there during 1909.

Peru is stamped as the most hopeful locality since the prohibition of immigration into America. New Caledonia also is a hopeful French colony in this connection, but anti-Japanese agitations have made unfavorable situations in Canada. Mexico has no fresh demand for laborers and there are stated to be less than 250 Japanese there now. Thursday Island, once famous for pearls has now only fifty-six Japanese; there are 820 Japanese laborers in the Oceanic Island, and the Toyo Emigration Company last year sent twenty-three laborers to Tahiti.
