SHOWS LOYALTY OF JAPANESE
implicit Obedience Everywhere Ac-
corded the Issuance Of an In
perial Rescript.

THE loyalty and implicit obedience
of the Japanese to their government
is something far in excess of what we
understand by patriotism in America"
said w. r. Olney, retired San Fran
cisco merchant, according to the Bal
timore American.
Not long since, while I was in
Tokyo. an imperial rescript was issued
reciting that the people We're not
practicing frugality sufficiently and
directing everybody to be more care
full in the expenditure of money Now,
the Japanese never were an extrava-
CANT race, but just the contrary, and
yet on the publication of this paper
every mothers son of them began to
tighten up and in little while the
decrease in buying was SO marked
that the merchants made a big howl,
which got to those in authority-the
elder statesmen-witht the result that
a second rescript was proclaimed alb
rogating the former and telling the
faithful subjects of the mikado they
might use their money more literally.
This put matters back on the old foot

Dispute Is Ended.

An S0-year-old diplomatic dispute
was brought to an end the other day
by the action of the senate in ratify-
ing the extradition treaty with France
The treaty is distinctly French
achievement. It's contention that 6
French citizen who commits a crime
in another country is not extraditable
from his own is embodied in the doc
ument, and hereafter French citizens
who commit crimes in the United
States and succeed in returning tC
France will be immune from any pos
sible prosecution.
There are more cases in which this
point is involved than one would i'm
agine. Eighty years ago, Franco re-
fused to return a French criminal t.
the United States on the ground that
he had committed no crime in his own
country. The French government Of
fered to prosecute the criminal In its
own courts but, rejecting this PROPOSE
ton, this country simply retained its
attitude of protest.
The latest case Is that Of Paul Roy
the Frenchman, who is wanted in
America in connection with 2 murder
in New Hampshire few months ago
He is now safe, so long as he re-
mains in the French dominion. France
has never asked that an American be
turned over to the French government
for crime committed in that country.
