WIPES out TRACES
New Treaty Between Japan and
Russia Gives Parties Full
Understanding
EFFECTS OF WAR DISAPPEAR
Compact Much Like That Japs Have
Closed With France-Guaran-
tees Territory.

St Petersburg, July 3O.-The signing
at the foreign office here of treaties Of
commerce, navigation and fisheries be-
tween Russia and Japan will be follow
ed shortly by the publication of the
political entente, wiping out the last
trace of the contentious arising from
the late war. The foreign office has
admitted officially that a general poiti-
cal agreement between the two states
was, in course of preparation. that he
gotiations to this end had almost reach
ed conclusion and the signatures
would be affixed to the document with
i'll . few days.
Like That With France.
This entente is conceived 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. Relations between
Russia and Japan are on such salts
factory basis that recent occurrences
i'll Korea exercised no influence On
them. Russia, who considers itself
hound by the treaty of Portsmouth, is
content to give other nations, whose
hands are free, a chance to champion
the Koreans.
NOt Permanent Affair.
The commercial treaty between the
countries is of temporary nature. 1t eX
pires in 1911. No provision is made
for a tariff agreement, but i'll place Oi
such understanding the two powers
agree mutually to apply the most favor
ed nation clause. They stipulate fur
ther that subjects of such shall enjoy
equal commercial opportunities with
out hindTanCc or discrimination. and
that neither shall be subject to special
imposts. The most important feature
of this convention consists of the arti
Gle excluding Kwan Tung province
from the provisions of the treaty. The
fisheries convention is to last for l.
years.

BEGIN WORK TODAY.
Repairs to the Water Main Will BE
Finished in Short Order.

Contractors Hardiman & Diedrick-
sen started the preliminary work for
raising the sixteen-ineh water main
at Marshy Point creek on the south
shore of the Raritan river, today.
George Hardiman, who was assistant
superintendent of the water depart
ment until about a month ago, is
familiar with the work and said to-
day that he expects to make quick
job OF the repairs.
The material for the work arrived
this morning at South Amboy, and a
gang of men at once started to trans
port it to the creek. A derrick will
be built to raise the main and when
completed the pipes will run over the
creek instead of near the bottom, as
before. The water department has
had considerable trouble at the creek
in the past and when the repairs are
completed, any future leak can be re-
paired with but little trouble. The
contractors will rush the work as the
total supply of the city depends now
on the twenty-four-inch main.

ment tomorrow. The "Y' is to be
used to replace the one that was brok-
en- outside the pump house at Runyon
last. week.
When the "Y' was accidentally
broken, the ground storage system
had to be cut out and the pond water
used The Worthington pump was
also shut down and the Snow pump
called into service. The Snow pump
is still in use and will be used until
the "Y" is replaced. In spite of the
fact that the Snow pump is doing the
work of the new Worthington pump.
! and that the total supply of the city
is through the twenty-four-inch main,
on account of the break in the six
teen-inch main at Marshy Point, the
pressure In this city for the past week
has been excellent, and the water
fairly clear, although at times during
the day it is discolored.
