THE ANGLO-JAPANESE TREATY.
II Is Not Altogether Agreeable to
british COIum bin.

OTTAWA, April 12.-The British Column
bian Government Is in communication
with the Federal Government concerning
the Anglo-Japanese treaty. Under the
terms of the treaty the subjects Of Japan
are to enjoy the full liberty Of settling in
the British empire. This Is arousing OPP
position on the Pacific coast, where Chi
nese labor comes into conflict with that
of the whites. The people there see little
difference. II any, between the Chinese
and Japanese Both are competitors in
the field OF labor they do not desire to
meet
There is another objection to the Anglo
japanese treaty. II contains a most-fa-
vored-nation clause which might be in
terpreted as compelling Canada TO give
Japan the same terms as she may give
to another British Colony. This Is d.
rectly contrary to the policy OF govern
ment in the promotion of preferential In
tereolonial trade.
The treaty will not go into force for
five years. II Canada does not desire to
be a party TO IT, she has only to notify
Great Britain to that effect. and she will
be exempted from Its operations.

THE WEEK IN IRON.
Outlook for the Various Forms Of
Finished Product.

UNLOCK 1Or the various Forms Oh
Finished Product.
CLEVELAND. o., April 12.-The Iron
Trade Review says:
In brief, the weeks developments In
iron have been further transactions in
iron-ore In which the leading Pittsburg
interest has figured largely as buyer; con-
tlnued firmness In Bessemer pig. with the
basis still sl0.65 at Pittsburg; less strength
In steel than was apparent a week ago.
and in finished material a more contracted
demand than many in the trade had
looked for with spring fairly opened.
There Is disposition by buyer and seller
to take bearings from events, now that
advances In raw materials are a matter
of record. Coke-buyers are holding off, buy
ers OF Bessemer pig wait, and consumers Of
billets are encouraged by recent signs Of
weakness to postpone purchases still fur
Their. The question uppermost in connec-
ton with all calculations Is the outlook
for various forms of finished product.
Pig-iron stocks increased In March.
though less than In the month preceding.
and there has been somewhat lessened
production In the districts contributing
the bulk Of the Bessemer pig. The fur
mace output continues ito be In excess OF
current consumption.
Strange as II appears. there Is more
flrmness in the manufactured iron than
In finished steel, owing dQubtleae to the
prospect that the second Cleveland meet
ing Of bar-iron manufacturers. adjourned
from Chicago, will perfect an agreement
for better prices. with the territorial adj
tustments.

The Crucifxion." Every available seat
was occupied, and many musicians, as
well as music-lovers avatled themselves
Of the opportunity Of hearing the sublime
oratorio interpreted by Richmond's lead
ing musical organization.
From the opening to the closing hymn
the club acquitted themselves most hand

ton could scarcely have been improved
upon, and the quality Of tone produced
was worthy Of the highest praise. The

Though Mr.. Buffers voice Is not power

sympathetic quality, while his high notes
are eminently pleasing. HIS rendering OF

in this city. Nothing could well have ex-

almost superfiuous to discriminate, II
might be said that their work in the
chorus, God So Loved the World" and
THE Appeal Of the Crucified" was the
most pleasing. The club seemed to have
entered more thoroughly into tho meaning

That wailing. lonely voice, descending
