ing facts are true:

an agreement with the empire OF ia
pan, which was concluded November

ratified by the Senate with amend
ments February S. 1895, and which was
ratified by the President OF the United
States February Is, 1895; that ratitica-
tions were exchanged March 2l, 1895,
and that the treaty was proclaimed
March 81, 1895, which treaty is now
In full force and effect"
Section 1862 OF the political code OF
California provides as follows:
Trustees shall have the power to

power to do, its obligations to the EN-
pire of Japan arising from said treaty
