JAPAN's NEW TREATY.
WAsHINGToN, Aug. 27.-Japan has at
last succeeded in an object very dear to
menJ has striven with all the arts of
diplomacy for many years. News has
been received here by the diplomatic
corps that new treaty has just been ne
gotiated between Japan and Great Brit
ain, by the terms of which the claim of
extra territorial jurisdiction by the latter
is abandoned. Negotiations looking to
the ratification of similar treaty are go
ing on between japan and the United
States. and other European powers than
Great Britain, it is assumed. Will now
speedily follow the British Government
and recognize the right of Japan to ad-
minister justice in her own territory.
The importance of Great Britain's
action, which, by the way, rather tends
to discrediJ the stories that she is hostile
10 Japan in her present war, lies in the
fact that it is actually the recognition of
Japan as fully civilized power. The
addition of further territorial jurisdiction
has always been confined to barbarous
and semi-civilized countries, whose ig-
norance of the first principles of Justice
and law seemed to render imperative the
retention by the civilized nations of the
world to administer justice where their
own citizens were concerned, even if
against natives of the semi-civiiized
countries.
Ever since the wave of civilization
rolled over Japan, her sensitive and
proud people have regretted the continu-
ance of the extra territorial system, not
solely because of its workings, but also
because it was a standing declaration
that Japan was not civilized, and was
reflection upon Japanese judiciary.
Therefore the action of Great Britain in
surrendering this claim in the new
treaty is of great importance to Japan, as
marking a distinct epoch in her advance
ment to the front rank of the nations.

SAN Francisco. Aug. IA fortnight
ago local newspaper printed an inter-
view with j. a. Fillmore, General Super
intendent of the Southern Pacific, where
Mr.. Fillmore was quoted as follows:
"If | know man that was not true to
this company, and L find out that he has
got job somewhere, we will pursue him
and use our best efforts to discharge him. :"
The interview provoked a great deal of
adverse criticism. which was mainly di-
rected at the Southern Pacific Company,
for there were those who charged that
Fillmore had spoken with authority.
g. P. Huntington, President of the
company, has written a letter from New
York, in which he positively declares
that Filimore's reported policy is not the
policy OF the Southern Pacific Company.
The letter follows:
SOUTHERN PACIFIC COMPANY, J
OFFICE OF TUE PRESIDENT, % Broad st.
New YORK, Aug u, 1874.
''Ar. III. L. Huntington, San FrancsSco
My DEAR SIR: l notice in the papers
some remarks said to have been made by
MIR. Fillmore in respect TO some of those
would endeavor to prevent their getting
work elsewhere, etc. | have not the
article before me, but quote from recol-
lection. l can hardly believe that Mr..
Fillmore said this. If he did | think he
was all wrong. We of course owe it to
ourselves and the patrons of the road to
refuse to take back men who DESTROYED
our property or made any effort to pre-
vent others from taking their places,
thus preventing the operation OF the road,
not only for the benefit of the company,
but for The accommodation of the many
people who use the road, particularly
those who had perishable property that
needed celerity OF movement TO save it
from total loss. But when we have done
that. that is, to refuse to take them back.
we have done our part toward protecting
ourselves and the interests of those who
need the road to take their stuff to mar
ket. After we have refused to take them
back l think we should wish them to get
places elsewhere, if it could be done with
out injury to the public and it is not our
business to follow them, but, when they
go, wish them well. In fact, | never
should refuse a man work, even my
worst enemy, without regret, as any one
who comes to me for work whereby to
support himself and family shall have il
if | can give it to him, unless there is
some very serious reason why cannot do
so, and, as | said, / should then almost
regret to refuse them. / hope our peo-
pie Will consider these things carefully,
and bear in mind that in handling the
great interests that we are caring for, it is
not enough to look out for the rights of
the company, but also for the rights Of
every member of the community in
which we are working and in which our
influence is felt. Yours truly,
&c. L. HUNTINGTON"

Vice President Wickes called. He re-
hearsed the history of the strike and the
part he played in it. Mr.. Wickes' evi-
dence was that mainly corroborative of
the statements made by Mr.. Pnllmad.
Manager T.. L. Bryant of the bank at
Pullman was then called TO the Witness
stand. He was particular to state
that he was not an employe of the Pull
man Company, as the bank was owned
by the Pullman Southern Car Company,
but later admitted that the latter COM
pany is controlled by the Palace Car
Company.
Bryant said the capital stock of the
bank was 100000. and in July, 1898, the
deposits amounted TO about sos, ,000
Two thousand two hundred and forty
five depositors were Pullman employees,
and their accounts averaged $40. In
July, 1864. the deposits amounted to
S453, 900, with only l,4l4 employees ac-
counts, which averaged $40. Witness
said Pullman workmen were paid in
checks. Each month they were given
two checks, one representing the amount
of rent due, the other the balance of
wages.
1T is just sort of gentle reminder
that the rent is due" suggested Commis-
sioner KerDan.
1T is simply for the mems conven-
ience," witness persisted.
Mr.. Bryant was asked about the case
OF Jennie Curtis, Pullman employe,
who had claimed that she had been COM
pelled to pay back rent due. The witness
said the company had not compelled Miss
Curtis to pay the rent, but admitted that
she had done so.
Rev. Dr. G. II. Heaton of the Church of
the Paternity, New York, surprised the
spectators by his testimony. He asserted
that the reports of suffering at Pullman
had been grossly exaggerated. He had
visited forty houses, he said, and found
no destltution and no distress. The men
had told him that they had no real
grievances. he declared and had no real
cause for striking.
Dr. Heaton did not believe that COM
puisory arbitration would prevent
strikes. and gave as his reason that one
side of such controversies, the laboring
men. were not responsible, and that any
agreement that might be reached would
be liable to violation. The Clergyman
said that the proper method of prevent
ing strikes was to build up and improve
the character of the workingman. He
had found Pullman, he said, very salts
factory place in that regard, as mems
characters there were under good influ
ence.
NEW CAR SHOPS.

Hiawatha Tuesday to select the site.
G. o. Allen is the inventor of new
palace sleeping-car. for which Pullman
offered him $4,000 and a New York COM
pany $4,000 and royalty. The COM
pany will be managed on the cooperative
plan, each work man to receive share of
the profits, though the capitalists are
guaranteed 6 per cent on the investment
before the labor comes in for it's share.
Eight hundred employees of the Pullman
Company will come here to work.

A BURGLAR COMES TO GRIEF.

Fatally Shot by q Girl While Trying
to Break Into House.
Los ANGELES, Aug. 27.-Annie Gull, a
servant girl in the employ OF Mrs. Frank
Lecouvre, whose residence is on North
Main street, shot and mortally wounded
Joseph Sesma last night.
At late hour the servant girl heard
the window of one Of the rooms on the
ground floor softly raised on the outside
and there appeared the form of a man of
swarthy appearance. She Immediately
seized a revolver, which was handy, and
fired one shot, the bullet striking the
man in the temple and lodging in his
brain. When picked up it was found
that he had come TO the house prepared
for mischief, as his feet were muffled, and
in his pocket were found half pint of
chloroform and sponge. He was recog-
nized as man who had been given as
sistance around the Lecouvre household
for year past and at one time he
threatened the life of the servant girl be-
cause she did not give him sufficient to
eat.
The police also believe him to be a
'peeping Tom," who has been spying
in ladies' chambers for some time past
The physicians think that his death is
only matter of few hours, as danger

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. "a serious
accident occurred this afternoon on the
Chenery street grade of the San Fran

rear platform. Some of them jumped
and were thrown violently to the ground.
Mrs. Laporte and Mrs. Welcn were so
seriously injured that they were removed

is still unconscious and will probably
die. The car ran on and crashed into an
other coach, but did no serious damage

viously on this grade.
