JAPAN MAKES 4 SCORE
Secures a New Treaty With
 Great Britain.
HAS WORK FOR IT FOR YEARS.

Negotiations Looking 10 the Ratification
 of Similar Treaties Are Going on Re-
 tween Japan and she United States
 and Other European Nations Damage
 Tn India by tho Overflow.
 WASHINGTON, Aug. 28.-Japan has at last succeeded in an object very dear to her people and for which the govern ment has striven with all of the arts of diplomacy for many years. News has been received here by the diplomatic corps that a new treaty has just been negotiated between Japan and Great Britain, by the the terms of which the claim of extra territorial jurisdiction by the latter is abandoned.
 Negotiations looking to the ratifica- tion of similar treaties are going on be- tween Japan and the United States and other European nations and Great Brit ain, and it is assumed that they will now speedily follow the example set by the latter and fully recognize the right of Japan to administer justice in her own territory.
 The importance of Great Britain's ac- tion, which, by the way, rather tends to discredit the stories that she is hostile to Japan in her present war, lies in the fact that it is really recognition of Japan IS fully civilized power.
 Ever since the wave of civilization rolled over Japan her sensitive and proud people have resented the continuance of the extra territorial system, not solely because of it's workings, but because it was standing declaration that Japan was not civilized and was a reflection upon tho Japanese judiciary. Therefore the action of Great Britain in surrender ing this claim in the new treaty is of great importance to Japan as marking distinct epoch in her advancement to the front rank of nations.

 ABSOLUTELY PURE
LARGE YIELD OF COTTON.
Cool Nights Retard it's Growth but Re ports Indicate Good Crop
 Nevertheless.
Weekly weather-crop Bulletin.

L"SShi3 WVdehSt-NfOp bull6Iiu.
 LITTLE ROCK, ARK, Aug. 2S. 1894.
 Cloudy weather has prevailed over the State during the past week. with frequent local showers. These 'showers were sufficiently heavy to thoroughly soak the ground, with the effect of greatly reviviHg and stimulating all growing crops and putting the ground in prime cOndi- ton for stubble breaking and turnip sowing.
 The tempera .ure has averaged about three degrees below the nor mal, the nights growing so cool as to seriously retard the growth of cotton by inducing rust anu she'd ding
 The rainfall has been trife over one inch above the average amount and has been thoroughly distributed. The most marked feature of the weather during tie week has been the deficiency of sunshine
 Pastures and the range have be- n completely revived by the soaking rains, as q consequence all stock is much improved.
 The frequent rains have interfered seriously with fodder pulling. The corn will be too old by the time fod- der pulling can be resumed and as d cousequenee not as much will he saved as would have been otherwise Corn is made.
 CENTRAL. SECTION.
 Rain has been general throughout this section the past week greatly beneftting all growing crops.
 Cotton is growing rapidly under the influence Of the improved weather conditions, and is beginning to open on the uplands There is some report of shedding. but less than usual for this ii me of year. De- spite the damage from drought which was experienced during July reports continue to indicate a large yield of cotton.
 Fodder pulling is the order of the day, though it has been somewhat interfered with by the wet weather Unless the weather clears less than the usual amount of fodder will be saved from the early crop Early corn is made
 Jefferson county saved less hay than usual on account of the pro- tracted drought. In the vicinity of Lonoke about three times as much hay has been saved this season as formerly reported.
 Pastures and the range are in prime condition as result of rains the past week, and stock, including hogs, is doing particularly well. In- dications point to fair crop of mast
 Some report of second crop of Irish potatoes rotting in the groudd, but many fields show good stand and the potatoes fine.
 Sweet potatoes doing well. A large number of watermelonss shipped from this section this season.
 Dry weather with plenty of sun shine will be beneficial to crops at the present stage.
