PEACE AGAIN
RUSSIA AND JAPAN SIGN UP
COMMERCIAL TREATY.
Two Countries Wiped out by
Terms.

St. Petersburg. July 3O.-The sign
ing yesterday at the foreign office
here of the treaties OF commerce
navigation and fisheries between Rus
STA and Japan will be followed short
~ by the publication of the political
entente. wiping out the last traces of
the contentious arising from the late
war.
The foreign office today admitted
officially that the general political
agreement between the two states
was I'm course of preparation, that the
negotiations to this end had almost
reached a conclusion and that the sig
natures would be affixed to the docu-
.ment within the next few days.
This entente is conserved along the
same general lines as the recent sim
liar agreement between France and
Japan. Under its terms Russia and
Japan will mutually guarantee their
rights and territory.
The relations between Russia and
Japan are ON such satisfactory basis
that the recent occurrences in Korea
exercised no influence on them. Rus
STA, who considers herself bound by
the treaty Of Portsmouth. is content
to give other nations. whose hands
are a chance to champion the Ko-
reans.
The commercial treaty between the
countries is of temporary nature.
It expires in 1911. No provision is
made for the tariff agreement but in
place of such understanding the two
powers agree mutually 10 apply the
most favored nation clause. They
stipulate further that the subjects of
each shall enjoy commercial oppor-
tunities without hindrance or discrim
ination and that neither shall be sub
iect to special imposts. The most i'm
portant feature of this convention
consists of the article excluding the
Kwantung province from the pro-
visions OF. the treaty. The fisheries
convention is to last for twelve years.

COMEDY OF LOST KEY;
GIRLS ANKLE BROKEN.

New York. July 30.-Owing to the
fact that transoms are not made of
India rubber and that Miss Katherine
Farley's 100 pounds only stand for
a certain mount of squeezing, the lat
ter IS i'm Bellevue hospital today with
@ broken ankle.
Katherine, who may be said to be
large for her age, p years. went to
Coney Island last night with her
mother. She thoroughly enjoyed
herself at various amusements, test
ing the strength of the Ferris wheel
ears. wooden lions on the merry-go-
rounds. and causing the chute-the-
chute boats to make an extra large
splash.
II was past midnight when she and
her mother arrived at their home,
4Ol East Twentieth street, and clam
bered TO the third floor The door
key couldn't be found. All the mys-
.terious places where keys can be car
ricd in women's dresses were search
ed thoroughly without hesitation,
and as the hallway was dark, they
had lots OF time. At last heroic
measures were decided on. Katherine
climbed upon her mothers shoulders
and tried to crowl through the tran
som.
The young lady got her head,
shoulders. and part of her body
through the transom, but the re-
maindcr Of her stuck. The mother
pushed and Katherine strained, but
he only result was that that she be-
came a human wedge, tightly JAM
med in the small opening over the
door. Then Katherine tried to crawl
back. but this proved no easier. For
nearly half an hour this went on,
when suddenly there was a tearing
.of clothes, followed by the sound of
Ia heavy fall and screams from both
women. The mother was on the floor
with an the breath knocked out of
her and Katherine was nursing a
broken ankle After the police ar
rived Katherine was taken to the hos
pital and her mother found the key
where she did not tell.
