A telegram was received at the Japa-
nese legation Tuesday to the effect
that an important treaty has been ne
gotiated between Corea and Japan,
which authoritatively defl es the rela-
tions Of the two countries toward each
other and toward China. The object
of the treaty is stated in the preamble
to be the usual desire on the part of
the emperor of Japan and the king Of
Corea to definitely fix and determine
the attitude of each country to-
ward the other, with q view OF
clearly calculating the existing rela-
tions between China and Japan, which
have been created by the request which
the Corean government has made of
the japanese government to compel
the Chinese to evacuate COrea. To
secure concentrated action for the
more effective accomplishment of this
object, this treaty of alliance between
the two countries was signed at Seoul
on the 26th day of August by Mr..
Otori, the envoy of Japan, and the
Corean minister of foreign affairs.
Secretary Carlisle and Commissioner
Miller gave further hearing to whole
sale druggists and manufacturers OF
medicinal preparations, retail drug
gists and others, Thursday, as to the
nature of the regulations to be issued
by the treasury department in case
the department decides that it can is
sue any regulations at all to carry into
effec the provisions of section 81 of
the new tariff law, pertaining to
the free importation of alcohol
for use in the arts and in med
icinal preparations. Some twenty
gentlemen were present and the most
divergent views were advanced. Some
of the wholesale manufacturers desired
that they be permitted to manufacture
their goods from pure alcohol in bon
ded warehouses. This was opposed by
the smaller druggists as too expensive
for them. The statement was made
during the general discussion that as
high as "a per cent of alcohol was
used in some medicinal preparations.
Secretary Carlisle announced that he
would take into consideration all the
views and papers filed and announce
