Treaty Creates Commission.
TO Settle Old Differ.
ences Alnicably J. !.
Contention Over International
Rivers and Great Lakes
TO Be Decided z.@ !. !

s Washington, D. c., Jan. 11.--After a
long period of, hard, patient work,
that on some features of which ran
into years, Secretary Of State Root
and Ambassador James Bryce Of
Great Britain, tonight signed a treaty
for the settlement of international
differences between the United States
and Canada. The signatures were at
tached to the instrument at the home
Of Secretary Root at 8 o'clock tonight.
.; This is the agreement that has
been ~popularly alluded to as the
waterways treaty. but its scope Is
broader than that designation Inn
plies, as it contemplates disposition
to settle, the old differences between
the two countries, and machinery for
settling questions that may arise
along certain lines in the future. Pro
vision is made for a joint commission
to be made permanent in character ~.
: The draft and printing of the. treaty
was not finished until late today, al
most at the last moment, whole
page having to be reprinted because
OF a slight alteration in the text.
81 Dependent upon the final ratAftca.
tion Of the treaty by the United States
and Great Britian rests the settlement
Of numerous con complex questions
connected with the water boundarys
along the northern harbor which has
been the source of more or less an
noyance at different times. i
: Included in these are the arrange
ment and use of the waters of the
great lakes, with the secondary but
not the less important question of the
division of the waters of the boundar-
les, including Niagara falls, which in
:volve that of the amount OF water
to be taken out for power purposes,
the navigation of the St.. Johns river
between Maine and New Brunswick,
and the use OF the. Milk river, in the
northwest. >-t -

the treaty. will supercede the work

of the United States see what char
acter of man they have been SO bowed
down to. For the present / content
myself with applying to him this
quotation from spencer's Fairy
Queen: - ~. r,
p "'He ranges throughout the world,
neither is there any that can restrain
him. OF late he has grown especially
presumptious and pestilent, barking
at and biting all alike, whether they
be blameworthy or innocent. None are
free from his attacks. He spares
neither the learned wit nor the gentle
poet, but rends and tears without re-
gard to person, reason or time"
. When Mr.. Tillman concluded his
remarks there was no further out
break of applause, the vice president
having admonished the occupants of
the galleries against making such
demonstrations. Mr.. Tillman was
congratulated by number Of Demo
cratic senators.
The senate then took recess Of
ten minutes that the visitors might
leave the galleries without disturb
ing the proceedings, and upon being
called to order transacted it's routine
business.

JAPS ARE SORE
Pending Bills in California,
If Passed VIII Shut Jdps
Out Of Schools and Forbid
Them to Own Land in
That State

Toxic, Jan. 11.-Following the re-
ceipt of special cable dispatches from
San Francisco relating to matters now
pending before the California legisla-
ture, a Japanese newspaper here to-
day elaborates upon the strained re-
lations that may arise through the
passage of bills and the enactment of
laws forbidding the ownership Of
land and the attendance at schools by
Japanese residents of the state.
A majority of the papers assume
the passage of the bills as a prob
ability, and protest against them as
an injustice to the japanese now hv-
ing in California.
The Asahi, the Jill and the Nishi
express sorrow at what is termed an
evidence of unfriendliness after the
sincere effort on Japan's part to prove
her friendship toward the people Of
the United States.
The extreme opposition papers as
sail the Japanese government for
falling into the arms Of nation
which at the first opportunity not only
shows its unfriendly spirit, but even
denies equal opportunity to the Jap
anese."

Fearing Eventual Detection
He Cuts His Threat
at Carthage ~.
Left Note Saying he Killed
Carpenter After Being At
tackled With q Knife

Chicago, ILL.,, Jan. 1.-THE Rev.
John H. Carmichael, who last Tues
day night in the little Methodist
church at Battle Run, Mich, killed
Gideon Browning, the village carpen-'
ter, and then burned the body in the
stove, committed suicide here today
by cutting his throat with a booklet
knife. He died in the county hospital
after he had been taken from the
boarding house of Miss Hughes, where
as stranger he had been living since
last Friday. 49,.
In long letter, which was found
in his suit case, Carmichael told In
detail the story of the killing of
Browning, how he had fallen victim
to Browning's hypnotic power, and,
meeting him in the church Tuesday
night, was compelled to obey every
command, how finally when Brown
ing attacked him with knives, he,
Carmichael, defended himself with a
hatchet. After finishing his victim
with the hatchet, said, the red OF
stove in the church soon Suggested
itself as the best method of disposing
OF the body.
Before putting the body in the stove
however, he exchanged some of the
dead mans clothes for his own, which
had become bespattered wit blood.
Carmichaers death was almost as
horrible as that of his victim. When
he arrived at the Hughes boarding
house he gave te name of John Elder
and as he said he was wood worker
and had come here to start factory,
no suspicion was attached to his pres
enee.
Although so far as he knew, he was
still beyond the reach of detectives,
the crisis came this morning, when
about 1880 o'clock he informed Miss
Hughes that as no satisfactory site
for his factory could be found, he in
tended to go to Bowen, Ill.
"I think I will find a better site
there" he said. Il will take the 9
o'clock train Saying this, he went
out into the back yard.
AS he delayed coming back, and
had not returned at train time to get
his suit case, the boarders instituted
a search A passing teamster was
hailed, and he, with others, joined
the searchers.
But Carmichael, already, by his own
hand. so far as he was able, had ex-

Washington, D. c., Jan. 11.-Being
greeted by applause from the galleries
when he entered the senate chamber
today to reply to the presidents stric-
lures In respect to his connection with
the Oregon timber land transactions,
Senator Tillman of South Carolina,
proceeded to read his prepared re-
marks with little attempt at oratorical
effect. m. 49,.
He was accorded careful attention
by senators on both sides of the cham
ber, the public and private galleries
being taxed to their full capacity by
visitors who occupied all seats and
standing room. while without the en-
frances long lines Of men and women,
unable. to gain admission, stood for
nearly three hours vainly hoping to
enter the galleries.
In addition to his speech, which
had been printed In advance, Mr.. Till
man had prepared other brief remarks
which he read.

PRACTICAL EDUCATION DEMANDED

AT the recent meeting OF the NatOnal EQuca-
tional Association at Denver the registration or
members was about 5000. One OF the most IN
teresting section meetings. was that OF the manual
training department in which President w. j.
Kerr of the Oregon Agricultural College, dellv-
cred an address on "The Place of Industries In
Education Considered from the Viewpoint of Agri-
cultural interests" He traced the development
of agricultural education in the United States and
emphasized the importance of extending this work
until all the people engaged in agricultural pur-
SHIFTS shall be given the training required IN
preparation for their life work He maintained
that to accomplish this it is necessary that agri
culture be provided in all public rural schoos, III.
stead of depending upon the establishment ol
snecia separate agricultural schools. The latter,
he said must unavoidably be isolated and too far
removed from the people to accomplish the results
desired.
Perhaps the most notable feature OF the con-
vention was the strong indication OF general dis
satisfaction with present educational conditions,
particularly with the work OF the common ana
high schools The great work that has Deen ac-
complished by these schools in the past is fully
recognized but it is the consensus OF opinion tnat
thew are not meeting present demands. Since
not more than per cent of the people have the
advantages of college training and more than ~
ner cent are engaged in industrial occupations,
it is considered imperative that the common ana
high schools provide work along lndustrai lines,
if thew are to discharge their true Tuncuoh Oh
preparing for life.
Never before has this great organization given
so much attention to the subject of practical or
vocational training There as many as 28
addresses besides many formal and informal dis
cussions, dealing with different phases or THIS
subject.

The establishment of logged-off land observa-
ton headquarters at Everett the home of the
"Snohomish idea," is an event of considerable
Importance. 1t is estimated that 100000 acres in
Western Washington, deemed the most fertile in
the Union, now logged OFF, and although for
the most part lying populous centers, are
useless owing to their Stumpage, for it Is almost
a hopeless task for men to attempt clearing for
the poy with grabbing hoe.
The Washington Logged-otf Land Association
requested the powers that be to assist in solving
the problem of preparing this valuable land, now
of little or no value, for the production of crops,
believing that among the many and varied talents
at the capitals some simple, unknown method may
be devised whereby science may prepare this 700
900 acres for the plOw, possibly assisted by the
force of chemistry, perhaps by some other method
But whatever may be the outcome of these in
veStgations, the most important work lies in the
hands of the land ownerS-the lumbermen. From
these lands they have taken valuable harvest
of trees. In the halls of Congress-, Senator Henry
NJ Teller declared that "men are worth more than
trees" These trees, then, need to be replaced by
living active men. But it would be futile to ex-
pect these men to at once transform the land &C.
cupied with tremendous StumpS into Selt-Support
ing profit-making homes.
The government reclamation service has found
that with the less tOilsome process Of transform
ing the sagebrush plains into productive use, time
is an important element. 1t has been compelled
to grant the sturdy settlers time on which to
realize returns from their labors. Therefore, pay
ment has been waived for the first year of devel-
opment of their holdings on reclamation tracts
Here is a practice that is worthy OF emulation by
the holders of loggedoff lands.
The Ranch believes it would hasten the settle
ment and improvement of these valuable tracts
of stump lands by granting to home-seekers an
opportunity to get foothod by waving pay
ments on their holdings for period of one year.
1t, therefore, offers opportunity for owners of
these lands to advertise them for sale in its clas-
sified columns, subject to such conditions, at a
low rate. Come, let work together to plant
men where trees have been, thus building up the
country and advancing the welfare of it's cities.
Let us advertise these lands to the home-seekers
coming among

At the recent meeting of the Pacific Coast Asso-
citation of Nurserymen, Prof. H. E. Van Deman
pomologist and Judge of fruit exhibits at the
A.-Y.-P. Exposition, talked on "The Apple as

his address he enunciated some principles that
are Of prime Importance to the many newcomers
who may be laboring under the idea that a COM
bnation of tree, sunshine, volcanic ash and water
is all that is necessary to produce successful re-
suits and large returns.
He said that the climate of the Pacific Coast
unsurpassed by any land on the face of the globe
is largely responsible for the fruit that has made
this section famous but the scrupulous honesty
of the fruitgrowers perhaps deserves CHIEF credit
for the reputation Pacific Coast fruit has acquired
in the worlds markets The packing OF apples
for shipment is important than the raising
Orchard owners, to get the best prices and estab
lsh permanent markets for their productions
should never pack the fruit themselves, but
should hire expert packers, whose Judgment or
quality would not be overbalanced by enthusiasm,
or desire to dispose of the largest quantity.
"How long are orchards in this great North
west going to last?" he asked. 81 know trees in
the East fully rs years cd that are still active
and bearing Will yours do the same? They
certainly will not if you do not Gull and thin the
fruit unsparingly. Never permit the young trees
to burn and wear out by heavy production. Ii
you do they will not last more than twenty or
twenty-five years and the quality of their produc-
tons will be lower during that time"
