DAWN OF A NEW ERA.
Japan Takes a Big Step Forward in
Its Relations with the United States
and European Nations.

y
Washington, July ia new treaty
between the United States and Japan
goes into effect to-day, at which time
also new treaties between Japan and
nearly all of the countries of Europe
and some of the South American re-
publics also go into effect. 1t is an
event of far-reaching importance in
the relations between Japan and the
United States, as it does away with
the treaty methods which have been
In vogue for nearly so years and sub
stitutes an entirely new method of
procedure. The same is true in the
relations of Japan with other coun-
tries. Taken as whole the many
new treaties which go into effect to-
day place Japan on an entirely new
footing with the world at large, as
she is recognized for the first time as
an equal in every respect.
The treaty with this country was
made November 90, 1884,, in Washing
ton between Secretary Gresham and
Minister Kurino, who then represented
Japan here. The changes it made
were so far-reaching that it was de-
termined the treaty should not go into
operation until July II, 1899.
Mr.. Komura, the present japanese
minister in Washington, yesterday
gave an outline of the more important
features of this arrangement. He
said:
"The nth of July marks the turn.
ing point in the diplomatic history
not only Of japan, but of the Oriental
countries in general. 1t will be the
first instance in which the western
powers have recognized the full SOY
ercignty of an Oriental state. This
action of the enlightened nations of
Europe and America shows that il
any country is ready to assume n full
share in the responsibility and affairs
of the world at large, these old and
enlightened powers are ready TO ad.
NIT such country to full comfy
among nations. So we regard the ad.
vent of this treaty as a very import.
ant step, not only for Japan but for
all the nations of the east.
"The countries with which Japan
has made new treaties are the Uni
ted States, Great Britain, Germany,
France. Russia. Austria, Italy. Spain,
Portugal, Belgium, Holland, Denmark,
Sweden and Norway, Switzerland and
Peru. All of these go into effect
Monday except those with France and
Austria, which are deferred until Au.

An Early Theory That the Pack or Is
Putting In Practice on His Farm
Chicago, Nov. 14.-P. d. Armour is
now living on a farm near Oconomo-
Voc Wis, on account of his health He
is no mere ornamental farmer. either
Any day he can be seen directing the
work of the hired hands" superin-
tending the building of corn cribs and
barns, and generally showing the infiu-
ence of his early training. The neigh
bors say he trades horses with a
shrewdness that would make David
Harum envious, and he is feeding the
fattest hogs that have been seen in that
section for twenty years.
Long ago. before Mr.. Armour en-
barked on his career as a financier. he
entertained the theory that the best
feed for hogs is acorns. Accordingly, as
soon as he took up farming again, he
sent out word that he would pay %
cents bushel for acorns delivered in
the farm yard. He got enough in a
week TO feed all the hogs all around
Hoconomowoc but he also got a note
from the district school teacher, which
told him that owing to his acorn opera
tions the school was practically de-
serted. He was asked to suspend his
offer. He saw the point and the school
