Chicago, July i6.--John p. Alteeld has
received message from william j..
Bryan iu which Mir. Bryan says he will
speak at tho Chicago platform mass
meeting which will be held at the Audi
torium on July 90, the date OF the meet
ing in Chicago Of the Democratic nation
al committee. According tc the Tribune,
the supporters of Mayor Harrison had
strongly hoped Mr.. Bryan would refuss
MIR. Altgeid's invitation, and even
wrote to MIR. Bryan setting forth rsasons
from the view point Of the Harrison side
why Mr.. Byran should not speak at the
meeting.
Mayor Harrison has been invited to de-
liver an address Of welcome. He is insit-
81 as the mayor of Chicago and not as a
Democrat.

TREATY WITH JAPAN.

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 republics
also go into effect. 1t is an event of far
reaching importance in the relations be-
tween Japan and the United States as it
does away with the treaty methods
which have been in vogue nearly fifty
years and substitutes an entirely new
method of procedure. The same is true
in tho relations of Japan with other
countries. Taken as whole, the many
new treaties which go into effect tomor-
row place Japan on an entirely new foot
ing with the world at large as she is re-
cognized for the first time as an equal
in every RESPECT.
The treaty with this country was
made November 70, 1894, N Washing
ton, between Secretary Gresham and
Minister Kudeno, who then represented
Japan here. The changes it made were
SO far reaching that is was decided that
the treaty should not go into operation
until July II, 1899.

Burke and Quinlan Are
All Right.
No Intention To Dispute Their
Standing.

Brighton, England, July 1S.-The joint
coming athletic contests between the
teams Of Yale and Harvard AMI Oxford
and Cambridge universities, at the
Queens club, West Kensington, London.
held It's first official meeting at the Hotel
Metropole this afternoon. The English-
men came from East Bourne and took

kvars Wendall of Harvard. presided. and
among those present were Messrs. Joseph
q. Morrison, Charles IL. Steriil and
Holcombe j. BrowLe, on behalf OF the
Americans, ana Messrs. G. N. jackson,
4. @. vassal, and A. Hunter on behalf
Of the home team.
The nesting proved satisfactory, the
greatest good feeling Icing displayed on
10th sides.
The status Of Mess-s. Burke and Quin-
Ian, of the American team was thorough
Iy discussed. The conclusion arrived al
was that no objection TO them would
hold for a moment. Mr.. jackson was
very emphatic in denounoing the English
AAo WnkAENA1 ahfsb OAthtn0tCA tno NOlt-
troyersy. he asked tho Associated Press
to make 1t plain TO the American nows-
Papers that neither he nor his colleagues
would, In any circumstances have CON
sideres -aay objection TO either Mr.. Quin-
Ian or Burke.
s.The fact that these gentlemen. Ms.
Wendell and his fellow committee, men
who are of such high standing in anna
teur athletics, vouch for them, Is entire-
" sufficient, said MIR jackson, .ans
II nny Objection should DO raised again
to either. Ii will not proceed from the
oxfurd- -Camuridge officials, and Will not
have the sympathy of Oxford or Caal-
bridge men,
The main object of today's meeting
was to harmonic, the Angio-American
amateur athletic rules, which vary in
some minor particulars. In order that
the contests may be carried out under
conditions that shall be indisputabie,
1t was agreed that the hurdle race should
be run under American conditions over
loose instead of fixed hurdles, and that
each side should follow its own custom in
hnnAucf thIuWAHS. II WAS diaO AQKHtu
that the high jump should he taken from
the turf in the osntre OF the grounds, in
stead of the oinder path. Some minsr
details with regard to the long jump
were also adjusted.
The order of events has yet to be ar
ranged. On the American side there has
been no definite choice OF the actual COM
petitors for the hundred yard and hurdle
races 1t Is possible that In these cases
alternate names may appear on the pro-
grammes. The sports will begin puuctu-
ally at o'clock In the afternoon as the
Prince CT Wales Will lie obliged to leave
ats o'cl ock for his yacht in the Solent.
The committee viii meet again at the
Queens club, next Tuesday to complete
the final arrangements.
1he American team did not practlcs
today. The men went to church in a
body this morning and went for a drive
this afternoon. Tomorrow they will
leave for London and will take their fu-
ture practice at the Queens club.
