ENGLAND AND THE TREATIES.
a Statement by Sir James Ferguson in
the House OF Commons.


LONDON, July 2-In the House OF Com
mons this evening Sir James Ferguson
parliamentary secretary to the foreign
Office, in answer to an inquiry, stated that
the new treaty between Japan and Mexico
had not been ratified.
The treaty between the United States and
Japan, which was signed on Feb 20, would
go INTO force on Feb. IL, 1890.
The government, he said, would shortly
begin negotiations with Japan with the
object of securing for England equal privi-
leges with all other countries.
THE SAMOAN TREATY.
In relation to the treaty agreed upon by
the Samoan conference at Berlin, he said 1t
would not be proper TO divulge any Of its
provisions until it had been ratified by the
United States Senate. The statement, how
ever, that England had agreed to retire
from her position as one of the three pro-
tectlng powers at Samoa and act only as
au umpire between the United States and
Germany, was unfounded.

committee held a meeting this morning to
confer on the question of the final distribu-

from the contributors to divert portion
of the contributions to the relief of the
Braidwood miners, had met with several
responses, as a result of which 800
had been sent to the coal city yesterday,

The committee decided that another sub
committee should go to Pittsburg. 1t was
the desire of those present that if there was
any possible legitimate use to which the
remaining portion of the fund could be
put in relieving the Johnstown sufferers it
should be so placed. The committee was
arranged-that is, to leave for Pittsburg
and Jownstown Saturday evening, taking
with them check for the entire amount
that may then remain unused. If there IS
any demand for more money the commit
tee will leave tho entire amount with the
proper authorities
