A Clause That Deals with Immigration
Its Only Novel Feature.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.-The president
has transmitted to the senate the new
treaty with Japan. In Everything except
clause dealing with immigration the
treaty is in no material particular differ
ent from our treaties with other countries

ment each to the others accorded to the
''most favored nation in the matters of
pursue of business resistance, protection
of the laws entry of vessels into ports
Except in the case of three parts in JAPAN
and in all other matters generally in
volvcd in such treaties.
There is one thing in which the United
States is given the advantage and that is
provision in the protocol that says: 'It
is agreed by the contracting parties that
one month after the exchange of the rati-
dication of the treaty of commerce and
navigation, signed this day, the import
tariff now in operation in Japan in respect
of goods and merchandise imported into
Japan by citizens of the United States
shall cease to be binding" On the other
hand, at the taking effect of the treaty the
extra territorial rights heretofore accorded
American consular courts shall cease,
and American citizens charged with crime
in Japan shall be tried by the regular
Japanese courts, thus recognizing Japan
as civilized nation, something she has
long desired.
| To cover the question of immigration the
J following article is contained in the
treaty: 1T is, however, understood that
the stipulations contained in this and the
! preceding article do not in any way affect
the laws, ordinances and regulations with
regard to the trade, immigration of labor
ers, police and public security which ART
in force OF which may hereafter bt
enacted in either of the two countries"
The treaty is to go into operation July
II, 1899, and remain in force twelve years

Gives No Protection al Rio.

LONDON, Feb. ga deputa'i)n of ship
owners, merchants and others interested in
the shipping trade, visited the foreign Of
fice today for the purpose of protesting
against the governments neglect of British
interests at Rio Jsneiro. The deputatioD
complained that British ships at Rio had
been detained for months and their csrgoe'
were not yet discharged. They declared
that the spirited action of Rear Admiral
Benham, commanding the American fleet,
had been the means of freeing American
ships frcm all obnoxious restrictions. The
ships of other nations, they said, are liable
to be interfered with at any moment.
Hon. Francis Leveson BERTHE, one of the
senior clerks of the foreign office, replied
to the degradation in the absence of Lord
Rosebcrry, secretary of state for foreign
affairs. BERTHE promised to communicate
the complaint of the depu'ation to LORD
Roseberry, who would see if 1t was possible
to instruct tie command of the British
fillet at Rio to see that British vessels ap-
preached the wharves and discharged their
csrgoes without molestation from the insur-
gents.
Admiral Benham. he added, had doubt
less affected the end desired, and succeeded
in accomplishing what his more cautious
colleagues might have shrunk from.

eral, Just arrived from Java, brings news
of the shipwretk of large vessel on reef
