Waking Tn

WASHINGTON, D. C.. December 19.-The
state department has renewed difficulties
with Spain and with Germany over reci-
procity.
Spain has put prohibitory tariff upon
American flour and given Canada a reduced
tariff thereon; thereby taking the large
trade away which has been enjoyed by
American milIers. There are also old claims
of American shippers against Spain which
are acknowledged, but not settled.
Then Germany continues to harrass
American trade by adding, from time to
time, additional restrictions, all on account
of our new sugar tariff.
1t is proposed by Secretary Gresham that
the president exercise the authority given
him by law of August 80. 1890, the fifth
section of which authorizes An actual en-
barge at the discretion of the president.
This law may now be used to bring Spain
and Germany to terms.

WICHITA, KAN, December 12.-It is under
stood special election will be called at
once to fill the legislative seat made vacant
in the Sixty-seventh district by the death of
Major Lawrence.
Governor Lewelling intimated that if the
several county central committees would
agree to waive the formaltieS of the law
which require that nominations shall be
certified so long before an election, he would
issue the necessary call. so that the election
could be held before the new year, when
fresh registration would be necessary.
The committees have agreed to this, and
the technical objections to an election raised
by the attorney general will be overlooked.

Recognized as Enlightened.


WARRINGTON, D. c.. December 12.-The
full text of the treaty between the United
States and Japan has been the main subject
of comment in diplomatic and official cir
cles. The treaty shows how fully the United
States has accorded japan the recognition
she has now as an enlightened, modern
ton. All previous treaties have been based
on the theory that the relics of eastern bar
barism still remain in Japan. Accordingly,
she was not allowed to conduct her own
courts or to make her own tariff laws, but
special treaty regulations were made to pro-
tect American litigants and American COM
merce in Japan, on the presumption that
the native laws would not afford adequate
protection. Running throughout the new
treaty are the concessions recognizing her
courts and laws as ample for Americans as
we'll as natives This is the chief feature of
the treaty.
The right of Japan to make her own tariff
laws is also recognized. Heretofore the
United States has been free TO make such
tariff laws as she saw fit affecting Japan, but
the latter was forbidden by treaty from fix
ing duties above ) per cent al valorem.
On the other hand. the United States
cures many substantial advantages. The
missionaries, who make up such very large
class in Japan, are guaranteed freedom of
worship and protection in that worship. The
main concession, however, is that of article
II, by which Japan IS opened up to Amerl-
can commerce.

Forcing the Royal Train to Stop.

The late Sir Robert Burnett Of Legs had
lived In seclusion since his health broke
down, about three years ago, just when
he was about to be married to the eldest
daughter Of Lord Sempill. Sir Robert,
who passed many years OF his life in Amer
lea. succeeded to the family estate, which
extends to about $4,000 acres. In 1875,
on the death Of his father, Sir James Bur.
nett, lord lieutenant of Kincardineshirs,
he took a very prominent part in county
business, was a liberal landlord and pre-
