Washington, d. C.-The new Jap
anese treaty of trade and navigation
was ratified Friday night after a two
hour executive session Of the Senate
held at the conclusion of day
crowded with many other important
matters. 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 solicitude. They inter
posed no objection to ratification.
The action of this government in
promptly confirming the new agree
ment Is expected to do more to prove
the feeling OF cordiality that this
country has for Japan than anything
that has been done for many years.
II Is regarded as a manifestation OF
highest confidence in the advanced
civilization OF that nation. The effect
Will be to permit Japan to enter at
once upon reorganization of its
fiscal system and the making of new
tariffs with all nations.
Expiration Advanced.
Japans treaties with other powers
are to expire July II next That with
the United States, by reason of its
later ratification, would have con-
tinued until the same date a year
later had not this government con-
sented to its expiration at the same
time as the others.
Failure TO have ratified the new
treaty would have delayed the opera
tion of the japanese program for a
year beyond the time when II was
planned to put II into effect. II
would have meant a great deal to the
revenues OF Japan and the continu-
ance of the existing treaty with the
United States for another year would
not have benefited this government in
the slightest degree, according to the
representations of the State Depart
ment on the subject
When the new treaty was received
from the President on Tuesday it Inn
mediately became the subject OF
wrangles Pacific Coast senators
feared 1t might have an effect upon
the labor situation on the Western
slope by reason of the omission f
the clause in the treaty OF 1894
which 1t supersedes, recognizing the
right of this government to pass an
exclusion law. Friends Of the treaty
explained that the diplomatic notes
accompanying It definitely pledged
the japanese government to prevent
an influx of undesirable coolies
through the rigid scrutiny of all pass
ports.

Poplar mans flush of triumph proved too great strain, and he died from heart disease. The sad circumstances of his
 death were described at an inquest, at
 Poplar, on the body. of Charles Edwin
 Bratt, Il, an engineer. Bratt, the widow stated, returned home from his work elated about some machinery he had patented, remarking that it was working excelently, and he felt "so happy" He died suddenly while taking off his boots. He had been working at the machinery
 patent for many years, and it was only perfected that day. William Hinge, Bratt's foreman, said his employer had been demonstrating the working of the machinery before leaving the works and
 was delighted at the success he had achieved:

six teachers, 12 deacons; they had 25O church members and 365 indoor meetings held Apostle Clawson said that there were 26,000 young girls growing up in Utah who want husbands, and Mormon parents were much worried about the question. They did not want any more women in Utah.
 Whie in Leeds itself the Mormons have made no headway; they have several meeting places. A leading member of the police force stated, however, that they had caused no stir owing to the quiet manner in which they conduct their prop aganda. He had witnessed the departure from Liverpool of 70 young girls for Salt Lake City, and said he should do his best to suppress that spread of Mormonism in Leeds. There is in Leeds a bitter feel ing against the Mormons, and the fact that they have been given notice to quit

own conduct having been blameless, should be allowed to come to drawing rooms after making a special applica- ton. Whenever lady in this position desired to appear at court she was re- quired to send in a report of the pro- ceedings in her case, which was submitt- ed to the Queen. The wife of distin- guished man, who had divorced her first husband, her own conduct having all ways been unimpeachable, had her appli- cation refused. The fact was that Queen Victoria had no sympathy with sufferers from matrimonial troubles, and in dealing with these cases her decision mainly depended in reality upon family connections of the applicant
 It should be added, says Truth, that Queen Victoria "prescribed' no rule whatever, but she merely continued the regulations which had been enforced by Queen Adelaide and Queen Charlotte, neither of them would consent to re- ceive any woman who had been con cerned in divorce case Queen Char lotte was a, perfect dragon of virtue and frowned ferociously upon any wom- an about whom there was a grain of gossip. When William W. came to the throne great interest was privately ex- erted in order to induce Queen Adelaide
 to receive Lady Holland, but she posi- lively refused to do SO.
 A woman's fire brigade has been formed at Burton-on-Trent and 10 members un- der the captaincy of the Meynell Hounds, held their first public drill. Horses were attached to an engine and the crew proceeded to supposed burning building. A hose was fixed and water was playing on the house in two and a half minutes. An exhibition of rescue work was given with chute and open net. The women firemen are to be uni formed, wear helmets and carry axes. When the home office inquiry as to the proposed reforms in the constitution oI the Isle of Man was resumed at Douglas, the first witness, MT.

 T missed my temple by half an inch, ' was the cool comment of Capt. William suffering from a gunshot wound inflicted on himself.

This is good thing for the colonies, but IT doubt it's advantage to ourselves-as has been shown that the 5000 are carefully selected.

CHICAGO GRAIN.

CHICAGO, May 27.-Rains and cooler

the wheat market easy most of the time
today. but In the last half hour a smart
rally occurred on account Of renewed

conspicuous Of late in taking the bull

trading left corn unchanged to IS down:
oats the same as twenty yfour hours pre-

gain of ~ net.
Relief from the drought and heat, even
