ENGLAND'S JAPAN TREATY.
A Missionary Explains the Working of
the New Treaty.

the New Treaty.
BALTIMORE. Oct 9.-Rev. A. r. Nor
gan, a Methodist Protestant missionary
in Japan, has written a letter from
Nagoya. under date of September to
friends in Baltimore explaining the
treaty recently concluded between that
country and England
The new treaty restores Japan's judi
cial and tariff autonomy. the former in
five years and the latter in seventeen.
This means that British courts before
whom British subjects had to be tried for
all offences committed by them in this
country are 70 be done away with in five
years, and lat after fifteen years Japan
Will be at liberty to collect any rate of
duty she pleases on imports
Under the present tariff she can col
lect but per cent ad valorem. During
the five years period which must elapse
before the new treaty goes into opera
ton, japan agrees to put into operation
certain codes of laws, which have been
postponed for revision Pending the
operation Of these codes the new treaty
may be deferred for more than five
years.
This is the limit. and one years notice
must be given by the Japanese govern
ment before the treaty can be enforced.
This also applies to the tariff; eleven
years after the treaty goes into effect
must elapse before tariff autonomy is
obtained. On recognizing these things,
Japan throws her whole territory open
to British travel. residence and trade.
Britishers may not own real estate but
may lease, it is intimated for thirty or
perhaps as much as fifty years. She
guarantees them perfect liberty of con-
science, the right of private or public
worship; the right of burial according to
religious customs. freedom from all
charges, and taxes other thon those paid
by Japanese subjects and exemption
from military service and from forced
contributions or loans imposed on &C
count of war.
Already the Japanese papers are urg-
ing the people to study English, telling
them that soon many English speaking
people will be living in every town in
the land and that it will not do for the
Japanese to be ignorant themselves of
the English language under such cir
cumstances, and 50 subject themselves
to the ridicule of the foreigners.

He ThOaght Grapes Were Cheap, but He

A rel whiskered man came along
Fourteenth street and stopped at a cor

down to tho market that morning and
had bought a lot of grapes in baskets.
He had arranged these in front of the
store, and while waiting for customers
sat on box by the door and whitfield
a stick.
The red whiskered man inquired,
''Howdy?''
Pretty fair, = answered the grocery
man
The red whiskered man reached over
and picked up bunch of grapes He
pulled off a grape, tasted it, smacked
his lips approvingly and said, 'Them's
mighty good grapes
Yes, assented the proprietor.
The red whiskered man ate a few
more. Mighty good grapes, - he said
again. I am astonished when 1 think
of the magnitude to which the grape i'll
dustry has grown in this country. Why,
can remember when the only persons
who had grapes were those who raised
a few vines themselves in their gardens.
Now, they have got to be SO cheap that

reached over and took another bunch,
when I reflect on the cheapness with
which good article of fruit is put Oh
the market. I can t see where the profit
for the vineyardist comes in. Here is
basket of grapes selling for 10 cents.
There is the labor of picking and ham
ding to be considered and likewise the
transportation
aside from this, y he picked up an
other bunch, there is also to be COM

earth basket of the fruit can be sold
for so cheap a price beats me- The
grapes are worth much more than the

They might well be sold for a quarter. F"

Why they amt worth it. Grapes is a

TRAMPS ON THE TRUCKS.
Six of Them Delay a santa Fe Train For
One Hour Today.

The tran on the Manhattan, Alma &
Burlingame branch of the Santa Fe,
came in an hour late today The delay
was due to tramps. Six men were try
ing to beat their way by riding on the
trucks under the cars. At Alma the men
engaged in a row with the train crew.
Two of the tramps were armed, and one
shot was fired and nobody was hit
The brakeman had a fight with one of
them. Two of them were arrested and
four of them escaped It was generally
surmised on the train that the tramps in
tended TO 'hold up" the train if the op-

HAS ENORMOUS VELOCITY.
A New ProjectiIe is Being Tested at tho
Washington Navy Yards

WASHINGTON, Oct. 9.-The naval ordi-
nance officers have just completed at the
navy yard here an eight-inoh steel rifle
of the Hurst type, which will be tested
at Indian Head in short time. The gun
itself is on the lines of regular ten-inch
rife, but owing to peculiar conetruc-
ton of the breech and of the shell aud
cartridge, extraordinary claims are put
forward for it.
The cartridge comprises a tube within
a tube, and within these the base of the
projectile, properly recessed, fits snugly.
The purpose is first to ignite the inner
powder charge. and then the outer, thus
starting the shot gradually and then ac-
celebration its progress. 1t is asserted
that the result will be an enormous We
locity for the projectile, which may safe
ly also be charged with high explosive,
owing 10 the absence of shock in start
ing.

THE FIRST FROST.
The Malaria and Hay Fever Period Ends
Sunday Night.

The Malaria and Hay Fever Period Ends
Sunday Night.
The first frost of the year formed last
night and Sunday night. The frost Sun
day night was q killing frost but that
last night was less severe.
The advent of frost causes about
equally gladness and regret. From a
sanitary standpoint it is the best thing
that could happen It is sure death to
malarial conditions and marks the end of
the hay fever season.
1t is a serious matter to the farmers
however. Cattle and stock refuse to eat
pasture grass after the first frost it
makes il too bitter for food The farmers
must begin feeding cattle at once except
on hill tops where the frost was less
severe.
Sunday night the thermometer went
down to SO degrees at the Colum bian
building and 80 degrees at Washburn
college, Last night 81 was the minimum
observed.
There is low barometer up in Mon
tana similar to the one that preceded the
storms of last week. Indications are it
is moving this way and that the latter
part of the week may be stormy.
