Sign q Commercial
Treaty.

Paris. Oct. cit Is learned In au-
thOritative quarters that the terms of
general treaty Of arbitration be-
tween France and Great Britain have
been concluded between Foreign Min
lister Delcasse and the authorities in
London All the substantial terms Of
the treaty have now been settled.
There only remain minor questions Of
detail end the signing Of the treaty.
These formalities are so far advanced
that the treaty is considered to be an
accomplished fact. The advanced stage
Of the negotiations has not yet been
communicated to the public.
Model Was the Hay-Psuncefote Treaty.
The treaty follows the general lines
Of the Hay-Pauncefote arbitration
treaty, which to a considerable extent
served as a model 1t is pointed out
that the Hay-Pauncefote treaty, al
though rejected by the United States
senate, now serves the useful purpose
of giving a basis for this important
Anglo-French treaty. The officials also
view the negotiations as evidence of
the sympathetic attitude of the United
States. France and Great Britain on
the practical adoption of the theory
Of arbitration.
Significance of the Convention.
The treaty is mainly significant In
being the elimination of therapproche-
ment between France and Great Brit
ain. after centuries of warfare, the
maintenance of defensive ornaments
and the recent animosities growing out
of the Fashoda incident and the South
African war. 1t is also significant of
the tendency towards a Encouragement
of the Europeanpolitical alliances. The
treaty is mainly the outcome Of the
exchange of visits between King Ed
ward and President Loubet and the
visit Of Baron d'Estournelles de Con-
slant and the French parliamentarians
to London French feeling heretofore
has been rather skeptical over the
practical realization of the treaty, and
when its advanced stage Is known II
will occasion widespread attention end
discussion in France and throughout
the lest of Europe.

Lockjaw. or tetanus, is caused by a
bacillus or germ which exists plentifully
in street dirt. It is inactive so long as
exposed to the air. but when carried be-
meath the skin as in the wounds caused
by percussion caps or by rusty nails, and
when the air is excluded the germ is
reused to activity'and produces the most
virulent poison known. These germs

Indianapolis, Oct. 10.-The suit by

John s. Dudley from the Office of sher-
ifr of that county by reason of his al
legged failure properly to guard the
negro who was taken from him and
lynched while being brought back
from Illinois, has been argued before
the supreme court. Deputy Attorney
General c. c. Hadley appeared for the
coroner, and John b. Elan and John
5. Bays for Sheriff Dudley.
80 Title of the Law Attacked
The questions argued related to the
validity Of the law which declares q
Eheriff's Office forfeited If a prisoner
is taken from him and killed by a mob
1t was first insisted that the title of
the law, "An act for the suppression
OF mob violence. defining the crime Of
lynching, and providing penalty
therefor" does not embrace provision
for the summary removal of a sheriff
who fails to resist mob In his county
Then It's Constitutionality.
1t was next urged that the law, so
far as 1t provides for the removal Of
the sheriff from Office without hear
ing, is unconstitutional. Attention was
called to the fact that the office Of
sheriff is constitutional Office, and it
was argued that the legislature does
not have unlimited power to deprive
such an officer Of his position, but
can only provide for his removal for
cause after judicial hearing. Sher-
iff Dudley Is still acting as sheriff in
Sullivan county, the circuit court hav-
Ing decided in his favor and against
the coroner.

NEW TREATY WITH CHINA
Uncle Sam Secures the Abolition of The
Likin Tax and Other Reforms.

Uncle Sam Secures the Abolition of the
Likin Tax and Other Reforms.
Washington, Oct. 9.-The negotia-
lions between China and the United
States, which have eliminated in a
treaty just signed at Shanghai were
initiated under the provisions of ar
ticle IL Of the final protocol signed
by the powers at Picking on Sept. z,
1901, terminating the anti-foreign out
break of the preceding year. Articles
1, and 3, refer to the rights aud
privileges of diplomatic officers, con-
suits and citizens of the United States
in China.
Article is the most important Of
the treaty. By it the Chinese govern
ment, recognizing that the system of
taxation known as hkin impedes the
free circulation of commodities to the
general injury of trade. undertakes to
abandon the levy of lillin and other
transit dues throughout the empire,
and to abolish all the barriers and tax
stations maintained for their collection
The United States, In consideration of
this change agrees, If all other pow
ers having treaties with China do like
wise, to pay at the port of entry on all
its imports into China surtax of one
and half times the tariff import
duty.
By article Z, the Chinese govern
ment agrees within a year from the
signing Of the treaty to conclude the
revision Of its mining regulations so
that citizens of the United States may
be able to carry on In Chinese terri
tory mining operations and other nee
essary business connected Herewith.
Article IA relates to Chinese Chris
tians and to missionaries. 1t insures
to the former the free exercise Of their
religions and protects them against the
injustice of the native officials. To the
missionaries it secures what they have
sought for for years, a recognition of
their right to rent and lease in per-
petuity such property as their societies
may need in all parts Of the empire.
At the request Of the Chinese gov
eminent an article tSs been incorpor-
ated in the treaty by which the United
States consents to the prohibition 0f
the importation into China of morphia
and OF instruments for its injection.

Organization.
MILLION MEN ARE AT ITS BACK
Stands for Capitalization Of Labor
Unious Firemen's Brother
hood In q New Scheme.

indianapolis, Oct. 10.-At the meet
ing Of national officers Of the building
trades national and International or
ganizationsa general plan for the crea-
ton of what will be known as the
Structural Building Trades Alliance
Of America vas agreed upon. 1t Is esti-
mated that 100000 men who are
members of the building trades will be
affected by the alliance. The platform
Of principles which forms the pream-
BILE Of the skeleton draft OF the consti-
tuition agreed upo. sets forth among
objects of the organization the follow
ing:
Some Reasons Ter Existence.
The establishment OF local and inter
national boards of arbitration; to give
international sympathetic support to
all trades affiliated in case Of strikes;
to safeguard, protect and watch over
the interests Of members of the organ
izations affiliated; to protect the auton-
omy of the several trades represented;
to keep agreements with employers In
violable, and to avoid and discourage
strikes, If possible.
Two Others That Are Notable.
Two others that are notable are TO
oppose the formation OF dual and
rival bodies, demand their complete
humiliation and assist only such I'M
ions as are affiliated with their respec-
tive national or international unions
conforming to this declaration Of prin-
ciples, and to emphasize the necessity
for a centralization of organized wage
earners.
Powers OF the Executive Body.
The constitution as so far decided
upon provides that the Structural
Building Trades Alliance Of America
shall be controlled by a president, sec.
retary-treasurer and eight vice presi-
dents, who shall constitute a board of
governors which shall watch legisla-
tive measures in the interest Of build
ing sradesmen. decide all questions OF
trade disputes, jurisdiction, strikes and
lOck0uts, and whose consent shall be
necessary before any strike shall be
ordered. Each component organization
has the right TO order a strike, but
without the consent Of the alliance gov
errors first obtained the support of the
alliance will not be given. This is to
hold the sympathy strike in the hands
OF the governors.
