TO PROTECT TRADE MARKS.
An Urgent Treaty With Japan is Deem
ed Advisable by Olney.

An Urgent Treaty With Japan is Deem
ed Advisable by Olney.
Washington, Jan. 30.--Under the treaty
with Japan, proclaimed March 81, 1895,
which does not, however, go into effect
until July II, 1899, there is an article
granting the citizens of either country
the same protection as native citizens
in regard ito patents, trade marks and
designs, upon fulfillment of the formali-
ties of law"
Since that treaty was negotiated the
japanese have initiated American manu-
facturers using trade marks and other
individual designs and imported such
goods into this county-at prices below
those at which the same goods
can be made here. Business men
here protested and recently Secretary
Olney negotiated a very brief treaty
which makes article XVI, of this treaty
go into effect at once. The senate COM
mittee on foreign relations this afternoon
ordered a favorable report to be made
on this treaty and 1t will probably be
ratified at once.
