JAPANESE TREATY
PASSED BY SENATE
Western Senators Express Solici-
tude But Remove Opposition
on Explanation

WASHINGTON, Feb. 24,-The new
Japanese treaty of trade and haviga-
ton was ratified tonight after two
hours executive session of the senate
While the apprehension of western
senators that the treaty might let
down the bars to coolie labor was
not entirely removed, these senators
contented themselves with expressing
their solictude.
They interposed no objection to
ratification. Action in promptly con-
firming the new agreement is eX7
pected to do more to prove the feeling
of cordially this country has for ia
pan than anything done for many
years. 1t is regarded as MANIFESTO
ton of the highest confidence in the
advanced civilization of that nation
The effect will be to permit Japan
to enter at once upon the reorganiza-
ton of it's financial system and the
making of new tariffs with all ma
tions.
Friends of the treaty explained tina
diplomatic notes accompanying the
treaty definitely pledged the japanese
government to prevent an influx O.
undesirable coolies through rigit
scrutiny of pass ports. After full dis
cussion today, western senators sait
they would not stand in the way o
ratification which was accomplished
without a roll call.
