OUR TREATY WITH JAPAN.
Points of Difference between the Old and
the New.


WASHINGTON, Nov. 24.-The proposed
new treaty between Japan and the
United States was signed by the secre-
AIRY of state and Minister Kurino yes
terday morning and will be sent to the
senate for ratification on the reassem-
bling. December 8.
1t replaces the old treaty of 1858 be-
tween the United States and Japan,
and the principal differences from ex-
listing conditions are. as follows:
The foreign settlements become in
corporated with the general municipal
system of Japan, the foreign consular
authorities being replaced by the Jap
anese judicial authorities. This
sweeps away the extra territoriality
clauses of the existing treaties, which
have been so long repugnant to Japan,
and which made an American who in
fringed Japanese laws amenable to
trial only before an American consul
under American law.
In return for this concession by the
United States, existing limits of travel
for Americans in Japan are abolished,
and the citizens of the, United, States
and the subjects of Japan have full
liberty to travel or reside where they
will, enjoying full protection for their
persons or property. This, however,
does not enable japanese to come to
the United States in violation of our
contract labor laws.

COMMISSIONER WRIGHT
Defends His Report on the Recent Rail-
way Strike.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 24.-Commissioner
Carroll ID. Wright, of the census and
labor bureaus. whose report on the re-
cent railroad strike was so indiscrim-
inately distributed in advance that it
obtained publication prior to its date,
has given out a letter in reply to some
of the criticisms called out by hat re-
port. He says:
1.-The testimony taken by the COM
mission will be printed by order of
congress and then everyone can satisfy
himself as to the positions taken by
the commission. l believe the report
of the commission to be thoroughly
impregnable as to every material state
ment of fact. What specific answer
the commission may make to the
charges in the Railway Age and of
other papers, l presume the commits
sion will prefer to make officially and
not to any individual publication.
Such an answer l have no right now to
make because l have not consulted the
members of the commission.
Il write this letter on my own re-
sponsibility. Whoever calls on me for
the purpose of examining the testi-
mony will be accorded every priv
ilege."
Mr.. Wright states on his w re-
sponsibility that every point made in
the Railway Age lis false"

Yankton, Spokane, Holyoke, Col, and
elsewhere, made away with ST.

constantly coming to light. In school,
bond issues he has covered the
South Dakota counties of Yankton,
Bon Homme, Hutchinson, Turner, Clay,
Union end others. The latest forged
bond to be discovered is dated Decem
Der 1, 1898, for $4,000, payable to ]. P.
Crennan, who died several years be
fore it. was issued. 1t was guaranteed
by Pierce's London house and sold to
English parties.
Criminal proceedings against Fierce
have been begun. All of his property
in Yankton has been turned over to
other parties. His operations extended
from Sidney. Australia, to Vancouver.
B. c., and from London to Mexico, in
all of which places he has property.
He spent $50, 900 in the Aurora mine,
Zacaetez, Mexico, preparing it for sale
to English capitalists. There is n"
clew to Pierce's whereabouts.

CHARGED WITH FRAUD.
Arrest of Three of the South Bent Patent
Medicine Vendors.


INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Nov. 23.-Dep-
uty United States Marshals Taylor
and Agnew went to South Bend last
night and arrested DR.. Samuel KILL
mer, Harry Mcdonald and Elmer
Strayer, on grand jury warrants issued
on indictments charging that the three
men have been using the mails for
fraudulent purposes,
Killmer, Mcdonald and Strayer are
engaged in making and selling To-
tions for the improvement of the COM
plexions of They represent
about $50 firms, or companies, in South
Bend that are making and selling
patent medicines and lotions of vari-
GUS kinds.
Several weeks ago the postoffice de-
partment issued an order excluding
the literature of some of the firms from
the mails, and their indictments, just
returned, are the result of the invest tt
cation that was made before that or
der of the department was issued.
The indicted men were brought here
this forenoon. DIR. Killmer is said to
be worth not less than 500, 600, and
Mcdonald and st rayer are wealthy.
They have all made their money out
of the lotion business. DIR. Killmer
has been doing business under the
name of Louise Fairfield"
The men were arraigned before Judge
Baker. Each was permitted to sign a
~recognizance bond for 81, 800.

occasion being the debate on the ques-
