EDIlOKIAL tOHMENT

New York Sun: There is a Jersey
clergyman who wears the whitest rose
He lives in Westhelt. which will be a
hundred years old this month. Contro-
versy arose as to whether there should
be wine at the celebration dinner Finally
this clergyman proposed that only apple
lack should be served, a proposal received
with acclaim by the vets ana horror
by the drys. Astonished at the tempest
the good man explained that he had sup
posed appleiack to be a slang synonyme
of sweet cider. Can there be such heaE-
enly innocence in New Jersey? NOBODY
shall prevent us from believing so.

ALL ENGLAND LAUGHS
They Think Japan Has Snubbed
the US
THE STATE DEPT SAYS NO.
The United States is With Japan's
Consent Now Really in a Position
to Mediate.
HE STATE DEPT SAYS NO.
Associated Press.

Washington, Nov. 29.-The latest Jap
an-China developments disclose an in
teresting game of diplomacy. Gable ad-
vices stating that British officials are
delighted with the rebuff sustained by
the United States in Japan's rejection
of mediation, causes much amusement
among diplomats here who are famil-
lar with the facts. Any delight which
the British officials may express at
Japan's refusing the United States, is
attributed but to personal reasons or
financial consideration, and not to the
failure of the object Great Britain ear
nestly sought. The latest phase of the
controversy in the departure Of China's
minister of customs for China to ar,
range terms of peace. further assures
the officials here that China has en-
braced the peace policy along the lines
openly proposed by the United States
and covertly desired by Great Britain.
1t is regarded as natural that English
diplomats should prefer that their ulti.
mate aim, peace, should be assom-
plished with as little distinction as pos
sible for the United States as mediator.
But there is another and good reason
why any expression of delight at the
snubbing Of the United States is en-
tirely out of place at this point. The
state department officials say that the
United States have not been snubbed
at all. The reply of the Japanese gov
ernment to our overture was extreme
ly courteous in expression and in spirit
and 1t did not by any means amount to
rejection. On the contrary it pointed
out a way in which the United States
could assist in restoring peace, if China
should be in proper frame of mind.
That was by authorizing our ministers
in China and Japan to transmit the
proposals. This authority has been
conferred by our state department, and
so in the persons of our ministers, the
United States government Is really to-
day in a place OF mediator with the
consent Of the japanese government,
and consequently is in fair way to
attain its object irrespective of the SEN
timent of European powers.

THE NEW TREATY.
1t Is Advantageous in Every Way tc
Americans.

Washington, Nov. 2S.-The chief fea-
ture Of the new Japanese treaty is in It's
recognition of Japan as a civilized
country. The new treaty recognizes the
japanese courts. and does away with
the offensive foreign consular courts.
But in order that time may be given
for the Japanese judicial system to be
further perfected, the date when they
assume their new functions is post
poned for five years.
The restriction on japanese fmmigra-
tion to this country is also an important
feature of the new treaty. Japan is
ready to accede to this because as she
claims, her citizens are not desirous
of immdgrating in large numbers TO
America, and also because the Japan
law prohibits them from immigrating
contrary to the American contract law,
These features Of the law are said to
be framed with view OF developing
the commerce of both countr1es. The
treaty also gives Americans greater
property rights In Japan, allowing all
property rights except the right to own
hand In fee simple.

A Bank President Foils an Attempt
of Robbers.

Spokane, Nov. 2S.-It is reported from
RosalIa that a daring but unsuccessful
attempt was made to rob bank at
that place yesterday afternoon. The
robbers were two in number and rode
up on horse back, and while one of
them stood guard on the outside, the
other entered the bank and presenting
a revolver at President Wells head,
commanded him to hand over the cash.
Mr., Wells, with great presence of mind,
informed the robber that he would get
the money out of the safe, but instead
of doing so he turned the combination,
locking the safe. The robber, seeing
he was baffled, grabbed up some loose
coin on the counter, along with some
private papers, and Joined his COM
panion, and mounting their horses, they
rode away. Mr. Wells gave the alarm.
end soon a posse started in pursuit and
are hot on the trail of the robbers.
