NEW TREATY SIGNED.

the United States Agreed Upon.

the United States Agreed Upon.
Washington, Nov. 25.-Secretary of
State Gresham, in behalf of the
United States. and Minister Kurino of
Japan. in behalf of his country, have
affixed their signatures to a new
treaty of amity and commerce be-
tween this country and Japan. The
final formalities in the execution of
the instrument occurred at the state
department late yesterday afternoon
after the close of office hours, and the
fact that it now awaited only the rati-
fication of the two governments was
exclusively announced by the Associ-
ated Press yesterday. When the last
formalities were closed yesterday, the
state department buildings were de-
serted, except the private office of the
secretary of state. where the interest
ing ceremony was to be concluded
Secretary Gresham will now transmit
the new treaty to the United States
senate when it convenes, and Minister
Kurino will forward it to the Japan
csc foreign Office to be approved by
the emperor Of Japan and the privy
council. Coming ut the present time,
the signing of the treaty is consid-
cred of much significance beyond it's
actual terms. as it establishes the
cordiality between the countries 1T a
time when the foreign powers are en-
deavoring to show that Japan's rel &C.
ton of the peace mediation was a
"snub" to the United States To
Japan the signatures are of supreme
Importance, as the country estimates
its new series of treaties as quite as
important as the war as it is now
conducted.

served one year. He engaged in tho
banking business, and in 1877 was
made bookkeeper of the First Ma
tional Bank of Medina. He married
the beautiful daughter of w. l.. Ter
rill, prominent citizen of that place,
but the young wife died inside of
two years. The bank closed its doors
May 2, 1874. and an examination
showed that it's capital had been i'm
paired so per cent by Pancoast's
(Kent) dishonesty. In the meantime
he had made his escape and, was nev.

1t is said he embezzled $4,000 of the
