FRUITS OF VICTORY
Negotiations Begun by China
+ and Japan for a Treaty
of Commerce.
JAPAN A FAVORED NATION.
Now on Equal Terms With
Great Britain and Other
Big Nations.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 13.-Word
reaches the Japanese legation that the
new Japanese minister at Pekin has
begun the negotiation of a treaty of
commerce and navigation with China,
and that everything is moving smooth
ly without the difficulties that had
been contemplated. This new treaty
follows the treaty. of peace made at
Simonoseki, which briefly recited that
when peace was fully restored new
commercial treaties will be formed. 1t
is an important document, as it gives
in detail the terms on which China is
to be opened to commerce., whereas the
peace treaty recited only the general
fact. The negotiations have pro-
ceeded far enough to show that Japan
will have the
Favored Nation Clause
as to commerce. This will be the first
time China has granted this clause to
Japan. 1t assures to Japan the lowest
rate of duty on articles sent to China
that the latter country exaots from any
other country.
Japan is thus placed Oh equal terms
Tor the first time with Great Britain,
the United States and other great pow
ers. Another feature of the treaty is
the establishment of Japanese consular
courts in China for the trial Of Japan
ese. This is to insure the Japanese
against the crude judicial system and
harsh punishments of China, and is
similar to the consular courts that
other leading nations maintain in
China.

Settlers Getting Washington Firos Under

OLYMPIA, WASH, Aug. 13.-The
Associated Press representatives re.
turned during the evening from the
burned district near Summit, west of
here. Much timber has been laid
waste, but unless heavy winds spring
up settlers feel confident the worst is
over. In logging camps of Mason
county men are still guarding against
flying embers, while others are re.
building burned out camps. The big
fire started about 10 miles from here,
where the flames had full play, and
are raging all the way to Elma over a
large territory on both sides of the
road. Several ranches are in danger
and occupants are using every means
for protection from the flames. In
most cases they are fighting fire aud
many of them have buried all their
valuables, clothing. ETC., to save them
in case they are obliged to flee.

THE COLUMBIA's RECORD.

Said the Navy Department Will Try t.
Break 1t with the Olympia.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 18.-The navy
department. has evidently determined
to ascertain if the Columbia is the
fastest Of American warships and has
assigned the honor of competition to
the cruiser Olympia. The Olympia
will soon go to join the Asiatic squad
ron and the department. has ordered
that she shall try to make an ocean
record as far as Honolulu, at least, and
possibly across the Pacific. Local ma
val officers interpret the order to mean
that the government wishes to break
the worlds record made by the Colum.
bia recently, with an average speed Of
over IS knots an hour, which was made
from Southampton to New York.
"We believe sincerely that we shall
beat the recordsof the Columbia" said
II Of the officers of the Olympia.
'The distance is 1900 miles, and we
ought to make it in four and one.half
days"
Will He No Race.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 13.-The Olympia
will leave San Francisco about the mid
die Of this week, by way Of Honolulu,
to the Asiatic squadron to relieve the
Baltimore as flagship of the station. 1t
is stated at the department. that there
have been no orders given to the Olym.
pia to make a rapid trip across the Pa.
cifc or even a part of the way, and it
is probable that the report originated
in the talk of the officers who assert
that the Olympia is as fast as the Co.
lumbia. At the navy department. it is
said that the Olympia is to remain. on
the Asiatic station for three years and
that the department. would not risk an
injury to her by sending her at full
speed across the Pacific.

Risky, to Say the Least.

onSS v" SSJ OAO O"o
Ed. TRIBUNE: I read the various COM
munlcations in Tuesdays TRIBUNE in
relation to the electric light franchise
with some interest, and while l would
like to enjoy some of the "luxuries of
modern civilization" mentioned by Juno,
I cannot figure out, in the light of Judge
Winchester's very clear and emphatic
decision on the case presented to him
how it is in the power or province of the
city to enjoy the luxury in question. l
am one of those simple. minded and thick,
headed people who cannot see what right,
except by tolerance, Mr.. Hughes has for
going ON with the work. 1t would seem
to a sagacious mind to be a rather risky
piece of business, to say the least. If
as I have heard it said, all that Mr..
Hughes desires now is to be per-
mitted to put in a plant and sell lights
to whomsoever desires to buy them, re-
gardless of the city, would it not have
been better and had less the appearance
of a bluff if the gentleman would have
made some announcement of this kind.
so that those who do not believe in any
way obligating the city, now or at any
future time, to take a stated number of
lights for any stated time, would have
been relieved? Now I am not at all
afraid of future city councils. I don't
believe the city will ever contract for
light until she is abundantly able to pay
for them. But there are those who are,
and l think it would have been policy, at
least for one who is after franchises and
privileges, to keepin touch with as many
people as possible. We cannot change
human nature, and in Bismarck it is
very jealous and envious. With the
present feeling, I should dislike very
much to take the chances and opposi-
ton seemingly courted by MI. Hughes.
However, he is favored with excellent
legal ancestry, and it is possible that the
arguments Of Judge Winchester are
built on grams of sand, to be washed
away before the more profound conclu-
sions of the higher body. The decision
Of Judge Winchester was evidently not
hastily rendered. If I remember rightly,
be has had the matter under advisement
for two months or more, and doubtless
has looked up all the authorities, and
weighed all the arguments and limita-
tic ms of power carefully. Until this de.
cision is reversed, as much as I would
like to see the electric light plant put in,
and to enjoy some of the ''luxuriee
Of modern civilization" I would ad.
wise caution, than seems to be
exhibited by the party now claiming
and rightfully perhaps-to be aggrieved
Mr.. Hughes either has rights or has DC
rights and until it is determined, what
right have we to assume? What sense
is there in citizens wrangling about this
matter and INDUCING in personalities
entirely foreign to the subject? It is, lei

THE NEGROES ESCAPED.
Mob Was Too Drunk to Unlock the ia
Doors.

WAOO ~ W UNLOCK Cn0 Oall
Doors.
LOUISVILLE, Aug. ia special to
The Commercial from Lebanon, KY,
says: A mob of about 40 men went to
the Springfield jail about 1 a. m. and
demanded Of the jailer the keys to the
cell Of Matthew Lewis and Jesse Ray,
who outraged Mrs. Shields, white, re.
Gently. The jailer, seeing resistance
was useless, handed over the keys and
the mob at once proceeded to business.
AS everybody in the mob was drunk
none of them seemed to be able to I'M
lock the Jail doors. After working at
the locks and bolts without success,
they procured sledge hammers and
tried to batter down the doors. The
doors proved too strong for them, how.
ever, and after hours of hard work,
they then abandoned the job. Re-
turning the keys they told the jailer
they would be back. Later the sheriff
brought Lewis and Ray to Louisville.

MINNEAPOLIS, Aug. ia Tacoma
special to the Tribune y 1t is stat
ed here in Northern Pacific circles that
the Hill-Adams plan to reorganize the
Northern Pacific is positively off, and
that III authoritative statement to that
effect will be made in New York very
soon. High officials say the present
earnings are sufficient to meet the in
terest Oh the first, second and third
mortgage bonds, and that if the earn
ings continue to increase at the present
rate they will be sufficient within a
year to pay the interest on the entire
present. bonded indebtedness. This fact,
they say, has been fully explained to
J. Pierpont Morgan and Mr.. Adams,
with the result that their views have
undergone a change. 1t is understood
that Morgan approved the first plan,
which had to be dropped. He has
since expressed a willingness to join in
a similar plan if it could be devised,
but has not committed himself to the
third company" project as it stands.
Adams is said to hold similar views.
1t is believed that within two weeks
Hills plan will be finally rejected and
steps taken to form an independent re-
organization.
The road is now earning money at
the rate of 49, 600, 900 net per year,
while between So, 900, 900 and So, O00,-
900 would pay the interest on the en-
tire bonded debt.
Northern Pacific men claim to be-
lieve that Hills chief object is to get
possession of the Northern Pacifc's
splendid coast terminal system, which
he could not duplicate: they say for
less than IS, 1000, 900 to $40, 900, 900.

THE T.
Weekly Crop.Bulletin Report For
Week Ending, Monday,
August 18th.

The past week has been as a general
thing favorable for harvesting except in
the northeastern part Of the state where
there have been frequent showers. which
with cool weather lave retarded the ripen-
ing of all grain. In the western and
southern portions there has been only
slight interruption by rain.
Harvesting is progressing rapidly, es-
pecially in the southern counties where it
is nearly finished, and in the central part of
the state, where it is over half done. In
the northern section it has only started,
and very little wheat has been cut there.
AS the harvest progresses, the reports of
damage to the crop from various causes are
becoming less and less, and while there is
some smut in grain, it is not PROBABLE that
it wilt affect the yield over the entire state
to any extent whatever, or enough to
notice.
Nearly all reports agree that the berry of
the grain is we'll filled out and plump, and
that the yield will be larger than expected.
Some oats have been threshed in Stark
county and the yield was about forty
bushels to the acre, while in the same place
barley went thirty bushels. No reports as
to the yield from wheat have yet been re-
ceived, but as some will be threshed this
week, it is probable that some of the results
will be given in the next bulletin.
Corn as a general thing continues back
ward, but hasa fair chance yet of %ripening.
Potatoes still make good progress, as does
millet and flax.

matic tires We're invented in 1880 by J.

Ireland. He had son who rode a trl,

developed nervous trouble. The vet.
Urinary concluded that the boys disorder
!, was due solely to the jolting Of the
wheels. and planning to do away with
the objection so that the lad might con-
tinue his exercise. he hit upon the idea
of putting air cushions on the wheels.
B With. only such material AZ he had
at hand for use in doctoring equine in.

tires
L 1t was quickly found that the rough.
and-ready style of fabric would not hold
air, and so an inner sheath of pure rub,
her was tried. The valve was vulcan.
lied to this inner tube in such way
that in the event of any trouble with the
valve an entire new air sheath was tho
only remedy. Flat rims We're in use ut
the time. and the tires were fastened t.
the rim by IL strip of muslin. which came
ont with the free edges from the untle,
side of the tires. These ends were
wrapped around the rim and vulcanized
to it. The linen completely covered the
rim. effectually concealing it's material.
Tires such as these were used for a
couple of years. They weighed from
twelve to fifteen pounds Il pair. and II
puncture in one of them was about as
serious a matter as a broken frame al
the present time.-Ncw York Times.
