On a glass for a boy, is money lent
To bring dollars back to our corers.'

class powers. Their essential feature Is to
give Japan a status rs q modern nation,
instead OF imposing the restrictions which
she was under, along with China and other
Eastern countries, before her advance to
modern methods. The entire extra-terri-
torial system is swept away by the new
treaties. This gave to foreign Powers, In
Guiding the United States, a right to try
civil and criminal cases relating to their
own citizens in consular courts, instead OF
in the japanese courts. Hereafter these
foreign courts will be abolished and Japan
ese courts will try all cases alike.
Another feature is in opening up the en-
tire interior Oh Japan to the capital and
enterprise OF foreign merchants. AT pres
emit the restrictions on aliens are exceed
ingly severe, except at Yokohama and a
few large places, the interior being prac-
tically in the exclusive occupancy OF the
natives. Now, however, foreign settlement
and trade are,invlted, and the richness OF
the interior promises large commercial re-
turns. The rates of duty between the two
countries will not be much changed, as this
branch Of the new relation already has
gone into operation.
