NEW TREATY WITH J4PAN.
One With United States and Other
 Countries Effective To-day

Washington, July 16.-A new treaty
 between the United States and Japan
 goes into effect tomorrow, at which
 time also new treaties between Japan
 and nearly all of the countries of Europe and some South American re- publicans also go into effect. It 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 fifty years and substitutes an en- tirely new method of procedure. The same Is true in the relations of Japan with other countries. Taken as whole, the many new treaties which go into ef- feet tomorrow place Japan on ah en- tirely 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 No vember 22, 1894, in Washington between Secretary Gresham and Minister Ku- reno, who then represented Japan here. The changes it made were so far-reach- ing that it was determined the treaty should not go into operation until July l7, 1899.

FOR THE DISSECYING T1BLE.
Body of the Unknown Man Found at SaYin Rock.

l The body of the man found at Savin
 Rock last Friday morning was kept at
 the morgue in the West Haven town
 hall until Saturday afternoon, when, not
 having been identified, it was turned l over to First Selectman Walter Main to be disposed of by the town. Satur- day evening it was taken to the Yale Medical school, where it now Is. It will
 probably be used as subject for the
 dissecting table, if not identified before
 the school opens in the fall.
 Yesterday afternoon a woman called
 at the town hall in West Haven to view
 the body, thinking possibly that it
 might be that of one of her relatives
 who was missing. She was shown the
 clothes of the dead man, which were kept at the hall, and after looking them
 over she concluded that they were not
 those of the person for whom she was looking. She refused to give her name or the name of the person for whom she was looking
 Last evening two men, one a German, J man, called at police headquarters in this city and inquired about the man found at Savin Rock. They were di- rected to the West Haven town hall, and going there, were referred by the jani- tor to Selectman Main. by whose direc- tion the body had been removed. They showed Janitor Colligan a picture of man for whom they were looking, and Colligan thought that it resembled the unknown dead man. After looking at the clothes. however, they did not rec ognize them and thought that they were not those of the man they were search ing for. They said that the man they were looking for was about forty-five years of age and that he had been miss ing since last Wednesday. They said that he wore glasses to read and that those he wore were similar to pair found upon the dead man.
 From the town hall the two men went to Selectman Mains residence and showed him the picture. He told them that it did not resemble in the slightest | the unknown man. They stated after wards that he told them that the body | had been buried. They finally conclud- ed that the man was not the one they | were looking for. To a reporter MT. Main said that the body was at the Yale Medical school, where it could probably be seen by any persons who thought they could identify it.

THE 4rHhE1uC MEET IN ENGLAND.
Meeting of Joint tCOmmittee-NO Objec-
 ton to Burke and c Quimlan.

| Brighton, England, July 16.-Tht joint committee having charge of the forthcoming athletic contests between | the teams of Yale and Harvard anC | Oxford and Cambridge universities al | the Queens club, West Kensngton London, held its first official meeting al
 the Hotel Metropole this afternoon. The | Englishmen came from Eastbourne and | Evart Wendell of Harvard presided and among those present were Joseph B. Morrison, Charles II. Sherrill and Hol- combe J. Browne, on behalf of the Americans, and c. N Jackson, T. c. Vassall and A. Hunter on behalf of the home team. The meeting proved most satisfactory, the greatest good feeling
 being displayed on both sides. The
 status of Messrs. Burke and Quinlan of
 the American team was thoroughly dis
 cussed, and the conclusion arrived at
 was that no objection to them would hold for a moment. MT Jackson was very emphatic in denouncing the Eng fish newspapers that originated the con- troversy
 He asked the Associated Press to
 
 pers that neither he nor his colleagues would. in any circumstances, have con- sldered any objection to either MT, Quinlan or MT. Burke. "The fact that these gentlemen, MT. Wendell and his fellow committeeman, who are of such high standing in amateur athletics, vouch for them is entirely sufficient" said MT. Jackson, and if any obiec- tion should be raised against either it will not proceed from the OXford-Cam- bridge officials and will not have the sympathy of Oxford and Cambridge men,
 The main object of to-day's meeting was to harmonize the Anglo-American amat teur athletic rules, which vary in some minor particulars. In order that the contests may be carried out under conditions that shall be indisputable it was agreed that the hurdle races should be run under American conditions, over loose instead of fixed hurdles, and that each should follow it's own custom ill throwing. It was also agreed that the high jump should be taken from the turf in the cented of the grounds instead of the cinder path Some minor details with regard to the long jump were also adjuted. The or fer of events has yet to be arranged. On the American side there has been no definite choice of the actual competitors | Tor the hundred yard and hurdle races. 1t is possible that in these cases alter nate names may appear on the pro- gramme. The sports will begin pune ually at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, as he Prince of Wales will be obliged to t cave at , o'clock for his yacht in the 'olent.
 The committee will meet again at the lueen's club next Tuesday to complete he final arrangements. The American cam did not practice to-day. The men vent to church in body this morning nd went for drive in the afternoon. hey leave for London in the morning nd will take their further practice at he Queens club.

New York, July 16-The Brooklyn Elevated engineers met tonight. It was thought they would take some action on the strike, but they simply took up the question of their transfer from their present position to the position of elec- trical engineers when the third rail sys- tenn recently adopted should go into ef- feet. They did not discuss the question of joining the surface trolley roads in the strike. This change for the engin- eers will mean a great reduction in wages, and it is not at all satisfactory.
