For New Jap Treaty.

Washington, Feb. 2l.-The text Of a
new treaty with Japan designed TO re-
place that of 1894 and drawn with the
special design to eliminating the re-
strictions upon immigration contained
in the treaty, was laid before the SEN
ate by President Taft. The essential
difference between the proposed treaty
and the existing convention is said to
be that it omits all reference to such
restrictions and leaves to the national
honor of Japan the enforcement at her
own ports the limitations upon emigra-
ton from Japan now expressly placed
upon immigration 10 the United
States.

have not been suffi cient, in the opin-

In connection with the national
bank concession Haiti is trying to
float loan to fund its interior debt
The course which will be adopted in
regard to Haitien bonds In this rela-
ton is of interest to the United States
government because many American
creditors of Haiti have been paid in
bonds of that government. So If such
bonds are scaled down the people who
received them on the basis of their
former value, In the opinion Of the
state department, will have grounds
for a claim In equity.
The possibility of American bankers
participating in the loan also causes
the state department to believe that

the sad part about the whole incident
was that a mother could go smilingly

all right as pets for children, and, In

without certain damage to their hered-

Some pure old races were preserved

dogs. Such is the race of Saintonge.
In 1889 it was on the point of dis

VIZ AsHINGToN.-The craze for sta

arise, reverse his cuffs and read of

horseshoes.
