MAY HASTEN EXCLUSION TREATY.
Washington Diplomats See Sequel to Attack
on Japanese at Vancouver.

Washington, Sept 10.-A stringent exclusion
treaty between America and Japan IS now be-
neved by members of the diplomatic corps here
to be nearer realization than the most optimistic
administration official could have believed forty
eight hours ago This long sought object is
expected to be attained indirect result Of
the mobbing of the Japanese at Vancouver last
Saturday night The belief that treaty IS now
within sight Is based the conviction of officials
that the japanese government will now be
brought face to face with the fact that 1t
cannot discriminate between Great Britain and
America in the matter of demands for fair treat
ment for its subjects and must by this time be
convinced that the problem presented Is really
racial one.
The only solution, il is held, will lie in the
formal recognition by Japan of the right TO
restrict coolie immigration, not only in America
but in British Columbia, Australia and other
British colonies To take any other view, II is
pointed out here, would mean a breach of tho
alliance with England, of which the Japanese
have been proud and which they regard as so
necessary to the development of their ambitious
schemes for the exploitation of the East
Negotiations already afoot between the
British and the Japanese governments TO regu-
late the influx of coolie labor into the British
colonies. The Vancouver incident WILL it is be-
lieved here, hasten these negotiations to a con-
clusion. and if Japan enters into treaty relations
of that kind with Great Britain IT is argued
that it cannot refuse TO do so with America

cOeOanut cultivation in cube.

The Cubans are clever with cocoa
nuts. One port alone, Baracoa, ship
ped lS,500,000 nuts last year. Their
favorite nut Is the San Bias, from
South America. 1t is planted about
twenty-eight feet apart, about fifty
five trees to the acre. When the
trees are large enough so tnat the
cattle can not reach the branches
and injure the leaves the land may
be used for grazing purposes, but it
can be more proftably used in the
growing of cacao. Cacao trees can
be planted fourteen feet apart, or about
$50 trees to the acre, with the cocoa
nuts. Citrus trees also do well in
the grove. When cacao is planted
bananas also should be planted near
the young cacao trees to give them
shade-so that in plantation times
they may be growing cocoanuts, ban
anas and cacao at one time. me
banana tree is only allowed to stand
until the cacao tree begins to bear, or
about the third year. The cocoanut
tree begins to bear in about five years
on the seashore and in seven or eight
years inland Age does not count
against the tree some of the best
trees are over fifty years old. Each
tree drops about sixty nuts year. The
nuts are gathered twice a month,
hulled, and brought in to the exporter.
The hulling is done with an instrument
like a garden hose. One man can
gather and husk 1000 nuts a day

A Real Celebrity,

The local pride of the natives Of

that it takes the attitude of pity for
all who have the misfortune to dwell
elsewhere. This is known to regu-

them is respected.
One rainy day a newcomer, who
had joined the gathering at the store
composed of fishermen and summer
visitors, ventured to enumerate some
of the distinguished men who had
come from Maine.

A Pathetic Case.

A prominent lawyer of Bradford,
New Hampshire, suspected his colored
servant of tampering with a certain
brand of fine whiskey in his wine cell
lar. The employer decided to adopt.
measures to verify his suspicious. He
allowed the demiiohn holding his pri-
vate stock to become empty, and then,
instead of reiilling it, placed the re-
mainder in bottles and labelled each
one poison"
One evening, on returning home I'M
expectedly, he found his servant with
one of his bottles. Selling the bottle
from the darky's hand, he exclaimed,
in tone of terror:
Great heaven! Sam. Do you know
what you have been doing? This bot

When certain bells in a chime pro-
duce discord they can be tuned. The
tone of bell may be raised or lowered
by cutting off a little metal in the
proper places. To lower the tone
the bell-tuner puts the bell in his
lathe and reams it out from the point
where the swell begins nearly down to
the rim. As the work proceeds he
frequently tests the note with tuning
fork, and the moment the right tone
is reached he stops the roaming.
To raise the tone, on the contrary,
he shaves OF the lower edge of the
bell, gradually lessening or fatten-
ing the bevel, in order to shorten the
bell, for of two bells of equal diameter
and thickness the shorter will give
the higher note.
A notable instance of bell-tuning
recently occurred at Lausanne, France,
where '12 bells, in three neighboring
steeples, had only seven separate notes
and produced a most curious discord.
