Treaty Rights Preserved.

MAY 10 the United States. setting forth
che steps taken by the federal govern
n.ent to avoid the legislation in Cali
fornia and explaining that under the
constitutional arrangements of the United
States could do no more than that
pointed out that the object of the legis-
lation was not political, that it was the
act of but one state and that the only
object was wholly economic, based upon
the particular conditions existing in
California The department commended
that all existing treaty rights are ex-
pressly preserved by the act and that
they may be enforced in the federal
courts. a privilege not enjoyed by Ameri-
can citizens in all cases.
June Japan replied that the latest
American note did not have the effect of
iessening the sense of disappointment and
grave concern of his government in con-
sequence of the alien land law. that his
government expected cooperation instead
of reference to the courts of the United
States: and that as Japanese are not ELI
gtble to citizenship. and as they have not
under the new act the right to acquire
land IN California. the Japanese govern
ment Is convinced that the measure is
internationally racially discriminatory"
and is contrary to the letter and spirit
of the treaty of 1911, as well as at va
rance with the accepted principles of
lust and equal treatment upon which good
relations between ttlefGlN nations SO
largely depend.
The arnba ssador contended that the
wrong complained of was directed AGAINST
his countrymen as nation: that though
II was committed by the authorities of
a single state, it nevertheless was to the
federal government that Japan must look.
He called attention to the small number
Of japanese in California. and the small
amount of property involved. to the en-
forcemert by his government of the ex-
on IF
immigration from Japan. and concluded
that IF the object of the legislation in
question was wholly economic then the
conclusion is natural - that the
apprehensions upon which the enactment
was based are unjustifia Bile and without
sanction of good reason

TOXIC, Japan. June 26.-The CORE
spondence between Japan and the United
States in connection with the California
anti-alien land law was published here

showing that the Japanese government
abandons its proposal for a new conven-
ton. but continues negotiations with the
American government, contending that
the land act is discriminatory.

Although details regarding the matter
have not as yet been concluded. il Us
understood that the financing on the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company
to provide funds to meet its 2o.00o. 900
notes maturing on July next, will take
the form of an issue of new notes. 1t
is believed in some circles that the
amount viii be larger than the total re-
quired for the maturing notes-possibly
$e5.O00.0 900 or SO. 900 0O0-and that they will
run for a period of three years
1t Is impossible to learn anything def
mite with regar5 to the foregoing. al
though il is expected that an announce
ment will be made within the next few
days 1t has been rumored that the
bankers would place restrictions on the
Baltimore and Ohio similar to those i'm
posed on the Chesapeake and Ohio a
short time ago with regard to the ex-
penditure for improvements to the prop
erty during the next few years, but We
are reliably informed that such will not
be the case.

seuthcrn Bank,s View.

Coming from a great Southern indus
trial center the expressions of opinion on
the taft law by the First National Bank
of Birmingham, Ala, are of unusual in
terest. The bank says in its April cir
cuiar: "It is still too early to pass judg-
ment upon the Underwood tariff law,
as 1t is difficult to analyze and correctly
apply the principles of cause and effect.
II is nevertheless true that grave doubts
are beginning to arise as to the benefits
of this act as far as the Birmingham dis
trict is concerned. and it is pointed out
that the destruction of the sugar inter-
ests in louisiana, has resulted in a SER
ious curtailment in the business of Bir-
mingham foundries and machine shops
and has adversely affected the demand
for coal. The removal of all duty on pig
iron and certain steel products appears
also to have narrowed the markets of
the Birmingham mills and furnaces

and a plan was suggested by Colonel
Bellinger, who professed himself eager
to see that Atlanta merchants were
given the opportunity to compete in
the contracts for supplies given by
the fort.
The members OF the committee were
eiated over the suggestion. OF course,
with no troops at the fort, there is
little trading at present But as soon
as the Seventeenth returns or another
regiment is assigned to take its place,
the usual large demands for supplies
viii he resumed.
Colonel Bellinger said II was his
opinion that the supplies could be pur-
chased from Atlanta merchants as
advantageously as through any other
station in any other part of the coun-
try. He impressed the COMMITTEE
members with his evident good will
toward the Atlanta merchants, and
the impression is that with the re-
turn of troops to Fort Mcpherson the
Atlanta dealers will have an equal OBJ
portunity of bidding on the contracts
for provisions.
Formal action on Colonel Bellin-
gers suggestion is to be taken at the
meeting OF the entire committee to
be called soon by Chairman Fort.
