PROSECUTING TIE PACKERS.

ted, however, that it is not necessary
to intlict the maximum penalty for the

risk of a much more severe sentence.

LONDON. Sept. 26.-The text OF the
Anglo-J japanese treaty signed August
II was issued from the foreign Office

eight clauses and a long preamble.
The latter states that the object of the
treaty is the maintenance of the rem.
eral peace in Asia and India and the
preservation of the interests of all the
powers in China by insuring the in
tegrlty OF China and the open door.
the maintenance OF treaty rights OF
Great Britain and Japan and the de.

The articles of the official text bring
out fo%rcefully the tremendous import

which practically makes Great Britain
Japan, and Japan Great Britain, for
the purpose of defense Sin the regions
OF east Asia and India.' This inclu.
sion of India specifically as a point
at which any aggression by a foreign
power will call for the assistance of
Japan finds much favor with the press
of London.
The main features of the agreement
appear In these articles:
First-The governments, whenever
their rights Are jeopardized, shall
communicate with each other freely
and frankly aud consider jointly the
measure to be taken to safeguard
them.
Second-If by reason of an unpro.
voked attack or aggressive action,
wherever arising, on the part of any
power or powers, either party be in.
volved in war in defense of its rights
or interests, the other party will a,
once come to the assistance of its al.

apan, possessing paramou,
political, military and economic rights

Japan's right to take such measures
for the guidance, control and protec'
ton Of Korea as she may deem proper
and necessary to safeguard and ad'
vance these interests, providing the
measures are not contrary to the prin'
ciple of equity.
Fourth-Ja pan recognizes the righ'

other reasons. 1t will be remembered
by those who have followed these cases
closely that when they e instituted
months ago and the defendants oamed.
these same people with the unpro.
nounceable firm name at once declared
their intention of pleading guilty and
of affording the government all the
help possible in its quest of other
wrongdoers. Perhaps in the long and
arduous investigation that the gov
ernment attorneys have been engaged
in this summer, these people have done
this: have contributed effectively to
the strengthening of the governments
case against the Armours, the Swifts,
the Morrises and the Cudahys, and
that on the principle of turning states
evidence they have something in the
way Of leniency coming to them. who
knows? On general principles the man
who turns states evidence and gives
away his pals is not held in very high
esteem, and the majority feeling is,
doubtless, that he should get the same
medicine as the others, but very often
it is the only way to get a conviction,
and in these cases it will be admitted
that a conviction seems to be q pretty
difficult thing to get; also that it is a
thing very much desired.
Besides, it may be that this is not a
very fragrant case of giving away
ones pals. 1t has been stated time
and again that this firm that has
pleaded guilty is not and I've was
one of the ''big six" Doubtless they
have HAD the ambition to be but they
have never been let in, and il this be
true their "peaching" on the big ones
ONE in the nature of retributive jus.
tice-a proper punishment on the big
ones for keeping the real good things
all to themselves.
The amount collected in fines from
these defendan is not so large as
government figures go. 1t probably
will not 60 very far towards paying
the costs of the prosecutions, but it is
large in the sense that it establishes
the fact of the correctness of the gov.
ernment's contention. People accused
of misdemeanors of this magnitude do
not plead guilty if there is a fighting
chance for escape. nor is $25, 900 a
small sum to be gouged out Of the as
sets of a firm, no matter how rich it is.
1t won't break them but it serves as a
reminder not to do SO any more, and
possibly as a suggestion to others,
that a e item of expense has been
incorporated into the business OF beef
packing. Carpers will flippantly as.
sert that a very slight advance on
dressed beef or q very slight cut on
stockyard purchases will Offset this
new expense, but it Is quite probable
that before the government is through
with the "big six" the bars will be
put up against these little diversions
of the "big.uns." The start has been
made In a battle of such vast proper.
