A Treaty with Japan.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 23-Secretary of
State Gresham, In behalf of the United
States, and Minister Kurino, of Japan. in
behalf of his country, have affixed their
signatures to new treaty of amlty and
commerce between this country and
Japan. The final formslities in the eyeI
cutIon of the instru ment occurred at the
close of Office hours, and the fact that it
now awaited only the ratification of the
two governments was announced yestcr-
day. Secretary Gresham will now trans
NIT the new treaty to the United States
senate as soon as 1t convenes, aud Mr..
Kurl1o will forward it to the japanese
foreign Office to be approved by the em.
peror of Japan and the privy council =.
Coming at the present time, the signing
of the treaty is considered significant be-
'yond its actual terms. as 1t establishes
cordiality between the countries When
the foreign powers are endeavoIiDg to
show that Japan's rejection of the peace
mediation was snub to the United
States, the signing of the steaty concludes
labor which has been in progress 15
years, and it was with the special view of
closing the long negotiations that Kurino
was taken from an important post in the
japanese foreign Office and sent to Wash
lngton. The event also will cause much
comment in Great Britain, France,
Switzerland and other foreign countries,
as the action of the United States affects
similar treaties abroad. That with Great
Britain IS closed, and the ones with
France and Switzerland are largely de-
pendent upon the close of the American
negotiations.

Bonds Sold.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 26-Secretary Car
isle has decided to accept the Stewart
syndicate bid for the entire issue of $780,
100000 bonds. The figure offered by the
syndicate was 117,077.
The following official statement was
made at the treasury: "The secretary Of
the treasury has accepted the proposal of
John a. Stewart, president of the United
States Trust Com pany, and his associates.
to purchase the entire issue OF the per
cent bonds, amounting to $50 600, 900, at
$Il7,O77 and accrued interest from No
vember /. The proceeds CT the bonds
under this bid will be 49,5176 62 greater
than they would be if the other higbes;
bids were accepted. A very important
advantage to the government in accept
ing this bid is the TACT that all the gold
will be furnished from the outside, and
none drawn from the treasury. It is also
more convenient and lees expensive to the
department to deal with one party rather
than with many"

his offense perhaps the smallest on which

Kansas line, and built church, wherein

SEATTLE, Nov. 25-A special to th,
POST -IntelIigencer from Victoria says thai
the wreckage reported ashore on tn,
northwestern end of Vancouver island a.
that OF the ill-fsted IUdnhOe is now proved
beyond doubt, and when the steamer
Mischief returns 1t is more than probable
that Captain Foot, her master, will have
definite news of the fate of this long
missing vessel. The coasung steamer
NSude returned tonight from the west
coast, having gone as far north as Kyukot
sound. The weather during the trip was
too rough to permit much investigation,
and the captain had not heard, before
starting, OF the reports brought by the
steamer Mystery last week. Almos. his
first words on landing were. however, of
the IUanhoe. He said:
II guess there is no further hope for
the IUan1tOe She's made another of the
long list of vessels battered to pieces on
the west coast OF this island. When we
were at Barclay sound, we heard of her.
Two white miners called last Tuesday at
an Indians hut, near the entrance to the
sound, and tbe frat thing they noticed in
the place was one of the Icanhoe's llfe-
buoys hanging on the wall. There was
no doubt as to the identity, for the name
and the port were clearly marked. They
waited for some time for the Indians to
return, so that they might question them
regarding the buoy, but all hands were
away fishing ard there was no telling
when they would be back. The men
looked around, but could see no other
signs of wreckage, SO they came back
and reported what they hsd seen to me,
requesting that make known the fact on
reaching port. As large number of the
Indians along Barclay eound, just now,
have recently arrived from further up the
coast, it Is most likely that the IUanhoe's
buoy had been brought down from Kyu-
kot or Cape Scott. l had not heard of
the wreckage here, as reported by the
steamer Mystery's engineer, but this
would appear to corrooorate it and settle
Its identity as that of the IUanhoe."

Indian. in Hard Luok.

The KootenaI Indians are rustling for
grub and blankets as they never rustled be-
fore. Bad luck at cards is the cause of
their poverty, says the Kootenai Herald.
About month ago 40 or so Calispel and
Spokane Indians made them visit for the
supreme purpose of trading and gambling.
They succeeded in doing the Kootenais up
for nearly everything they had and left about
10 days ago for the return journey. They
succeeded in getting good supply of whisky
before they pulled out. and. as they passed
through Eaton, they made night hideous in
the extreme with unearthly whoops. One
of them was found by the railroad track
next morning, all cut to pieces by passing
train, the Indian evidently having had too
much whisky aboard to know enough to
get out Of the way.
