to women on political subjects. He re-

men over husbands He would rather,
at the beginning of the campaign have
the wife than the husband on his side.

NEW TREATY WITH JAPAN.
Interesting Ceremony at Washing
ton-Peru Has the Favored
Nation Clause.

Washington, D. c., Dec 24.-An inter
esting ceremony occurred at the Japan
csc legation today when final ratifica-
tons of Il new treaty between Japan and
Peru We're exchanged by Minister uCshi
of Japan and Consul General Bergman,
acting plenipOtentiary for Peru.
The Japanese copy was prepared with
the artistic elegance characteristic OF
that nation and was enclosed in a case
of heavy velvet on which was embroid-
cred the arms of Japan and the two ma
tlonal flowers. the chrySanthemum and
paulOWnia. The velvet case was III turn
placed in a large box of exquisite work
manship, made of lacquer with heavy
mountings of gold, including the arms
and national flowers in gold.
The new treaty is one of the series
which Japan is making with all nations
and is almost identical with the one con-
cluded with the United States about 4
year ago. 1t is brought about, however,
by curious circumstance. In 1873,
when Japan was first entering upon her
modern policy, she sought to keep out
Chinese slaves who We're taken to Japan
by way Of Peru. For this purpose Il
treaty was made with Peru which
stopped the slave trade. But in securing
this Japan granted to Peru all the pow
ers enjoyed by such nations as the Unit
ed States and Great Britain in maintain
ing consular courts in Japan and the
new treaty does away with these con-
sular courts after July II, 1899. 1t pro-
videS for commerce. navigation, etc. Civ
ing Peru the benefit of the favored ma
ton clause.
Another treaty similar to this one has
Just been concluded between Japan and

Electric Road.

Appleton, Wis, Dec. 24.-[Special. j
The original promoters of the 1nterurban
Electric railway between Neenah, Me
nasha, Appleton and Kaukauna are
again in the field and announce that all
arrangements have been completed to
have the road running from Neenah to

pany of Chicago, and +. @. Rutan, also
Of Chicago. and includes q number of
other well-known capitalists of that city.
The construction work and operation
of the road will be in charge Of a we'll

road which will not terminate for sew
eral weeks. Contracts covering a large
portion of the equipment are said to be
already closed and the machinery, en-
gInes, dynamos, Cars, etc., will be built

will cover the route OF the present horse
railway in Neenah and Menasha, which
is already under option to Mr.. Stet-
tinius, and will reach the city limits of
Menasha over the route laid out in the
franchise granted some months ago, and
thence by the lake road past Waverly
beach and the other Lake WinnebagO
resorts to Appleton, where it will enter
the city by the route laid down in the
existing franchise to the company and
will connect with the present Appleton

sion of the road to Kaukauna will not
be undertaken until later, but ultimately
