ment officials believe that the Japanese
now in the United States are entitled
to naturalization, provided they comply
with the terms Of existing laws, and that
they are also entitled to free entry to
our shores, the only prohibition upon
Asiatic immigration being laid upon
Chinese.
In addition to the new treaty with
Japan, specifically in articles and 2,
the Japanese in the United States are
vested with full right Of entry and travel
and all of the rights enjoyed by people
Of any other nationality, in defense of
their rights and in all matters connected
with the administration of justice. They
are privileged to hold lands as native
citizens, to trade freely, to establish fac
tories, and generally to all Of the ex-
emptions accorded other natfonalities.
With all this, there Is one saving clause
found in the second article, providing
that the treaty shall not affect the laws
regarding trade, immigration of labor
ers, police and public security which are
now in force or which may be hereafter
enacted. 1t Is possible that, exercising
this privilege, congress may legislatc to
control the entry into the United States
Of Japanese or regulate their movements
other, but, as the matter now stands,
there Is no provision touching the sub
ject, and there will be none under the
operation of the new treaty in 1899 unless
congress acts.

Buell's Fine Argument,

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-P. A. Buell.
of Stockton, representing the River Con-
vention of California, and his home city,
has been granted an audience by the
Rivers and Harbors Committee. He
presented at length an argument for the
improvement of the San Joaquin river.
So we'll was this done and so fully i'm
pressed were the members of the COM
mittee by the showing made and the
splendid offer of Stockton to do it's full
share in carrying out the work that
there is every reason to believe the riv-
ers and harbors bill, should one be franz
ed, will carry an appropriation Of $780,
900 to straighten and deepen the Stock
ton channel.

A TERRIBLE CRIME
Frank Bellew Charged With Poisoning
His Brother and Sister

SUISUN, CAL, Feb. 4.-Frank Bellew
has been arrested on a ranch near Ell
mira and lodged in the County Jail here,
charged with numbering his brother and
sister by poison. Louis and Susie Bel
lew We're two of the most popular young
people in Dixon. They lived together
in a cottage on the outskirts of the town.
The night before they were poisoned,
early last November, Frank Bellew ate
supper at the house. He was the one
person who had access to the water and
the food. When the victims took sick
he was almost the first person to come
to their home. He helped the nurses
make Cruel using water from the tea
kettle he is alleged to have poisoned.
The day before the crime Frank Bellew
called upon his brother-in-law, Frank
w. Bird, who is a photographer. He
compliance to him bitterly, as he had
done to others, that he had not received
enough of the property of his parents.
who had overlooked him in their will.
He added:
Bird, I'm going to commit terrible
crime tomorrow. I'm going to commit
tragedy that will shock the whole
community
After the crime Bird had reason to be-
lieve that Bellew intended to kill him.
and has made a statement, in which he
says:
Frank has always admitted the crime.
He has never expressed remorse for
the murder, but has often laughed at
the way he eluded the officers and per-
petrated what he threatened. He said
he did a good job, and thought he was
pretty smooth in getting away with the
sleuths.''
Evidence that Constable B. F. Newby
of Dixon, Solano county, has gathered
against the prisoner is corroborative of
the statement made by Bird.
