YOKOHAMA Cby Steamer Oceanic , -via
Ban Francisco ) , Sept. 2. The revised treaty
between Japan and Kngland was ratified at
Tofolo August 25. For the first tlmo the
United States has failed to take advantage
of Japan's desire , to deal primarily with the
great republic In Important International
transactions. Tlio opinion expressed in
Japan Is that negotiations at Washington
might have been concluded long ago If the
State department had been disposed to act
upon Japanese proposals. As It Is , Great
Britain stands ahead In the enactment ot
the treaty which the Asiatic empire has been
urgently striving for more than twenty years
to secure.
On ono previous occasion the matter was
nearly brought to a conclusion by Count
Oku ma , but at the last moment his plans
\\cio defeated by the violent public demon
strations In Japan against nls method of
adjusting the vexed question of the Judi
ciary. It was , therefore , thought expedient
to keep these latter negotiations strictly se
cret nnd to allow none of the proposed condi
tions to become a subject ot popular discus
sion until the affair was absolutely termin
ated.
ated.The announcement , first made by the em-
ppror , was a sutprlso to every one , though
vague rumors of what was contemplated
had been circulated during the past few
wetks.
The treaty confers no Immediate ad
vantages on Japan. At least five years
must elapse before It goes Into operation ,
and It Is for Japan to say whether or not
the Interval shall bo longer , but until
1S90 everything must remcln as It Is now.
The purpose of this delay Is that Japan
shall perfect her judicial system to an ex
tent warranting the abolition of Kngllsh law
courts. The- existence of foreign tribunals
lu ono ot Japan's chief grievances , and this ,
so far as Great Britain Is concerned , will
cease at the appointed time.
READJUSTING THE TARIFF.
The other grievance Interfering with the
tariff will not be dne away with until 1910 ,
\vlicn complete autonomy may bo resumed
by the simple process ot terminating the
treaty. Hut from 1S09 , or whatever date the
Japanese assign for the agreement to ccmc
in force , eleven years later , when It may bs
cancelled by cither party , a pirtlally new
tariff will bo adopted , somewhat more favor
able to Japan than that which now regu
lates her commerce , but not strikingly so.
The Import duties now collected average C
per cent ad valorem. Under the new Hrltlsh
schedule the average Is estimated at front
C to 8 per cent. Only twetlty-nln" articles ,
Komo of which are so subdivided as to make the
total appear1 thirty-nine , ore raised above
the former rates. "Of these silks and sole
leather are fixed at 1G per cent. The major
ity , Including parafllno oil , arc flx.d nt 10 pet
cent. The actual computation , however , will
not be ad valorem. By a supplementary
convention specific duties will be applied on
the basis of average prices , as shown by the
customs returns for six months. The duti
able vnluo of Imports will Include freights ,
insurance nnd commission Items not hlthertc
reckoned.
As regards export duties. It does not ap
pear that any changes are propsed , Tin
position of Englishmen In Japan will be It
most respects identical with that of tmt'vc
subjects. Only two privilege's will be with
held , the right of coastwise trade and tin
right to ov.n land. Buildings may be- owned
but land must bo held on leases.
SECURITY FOR THE FUTURE.
It is evident that In negotiating till
treaty Japan has not consulted present ga't
BO much as security fcr the future. Dim
cullies of the existing system have grown ti
bo Intolerable to her , aid sha would almos
have consented to sacrifices for a time to b
assured of positive release at a designate !
period. Flvo years Iicnco British ex-tcrrl
torlal jurisdiction will bo abolished , am
Japan expects tfiat 'the ether powers wll
likewise close their consular courts. Slxteei
years hence she hopes similarly to be rid o
all commercial restrictions. The burdens o
the Interval nru not felt to bo too hcivy i
prlco to pay tPr ultimatefreedom. .
All persons concerned In preparing an
negotiating the treaty have ban honore
with high marks of consideration by the Japanese
aneso government. Th-j Jcpanesn minister o
foreign affairs , Mutsu Muucmltsu , has bee
raised to the petraue , with the title of via
count and a grant ot10,000 yen , about $20 ,
000 In gold. As minister nt Washington dv
years ago this pflldal was well known an
very popular In the eastern part of th
United States. Ho negotiated the Mexlcu
tnnty with Jnpan , nrcmorablo as the enl
ona previous ta the Instrument Just cnacte
In which Japan's autonomous rights wer
recognized.

It Is curious to observe that the best tarl
Japan can now get from England Is far let
tiem-llcl.il to her than that attached to tl
treaty of 185S , negotiated by Townsend Hai
rla , the first envoy from the United State
Harris might have imposed any terms thi
suited him , but with a just regard for wh :
he bell B veil to be Japan's Interests , ho a
ranged a , echldule , Ihct average of which wi
about 20 per cent , some articles being rati
us high UN 35 per cent. The scale was force
down by representatives of other powe
until within ten years the average became

rnoauEss OF THE WAR.
Chinese and Japanese fleets continue
play the game of hide and seek at tl
mouth ol the gult of I'echlll. while tl
Helps ot Iho "middle kingdom" conceal then
solvps no effectually that foreigners In tl
op n ports cannot speculate as to their pos
tki. The Japanese can accompllih lltt
muru than to check the transportation
Chinese troops to Corca , and In this tin
have RO far succeeded that further telntorc
menta , If undertaken at all , will go by Ian
Hut U appears to bo doubted that Corea I
tendi la strengthen her forcri In t :
peninsula turthnr. Most of the bodies nc
in motion arc said to bo making their w ;
toward Tlen-Tslti and Poking , the dcfen
to Ihe approaches to the capital being co
olJcrcd of the first moment. The whc
country between the capital and the gulf
In great agltalton. Correspondents from the
Interior write to the China Oazctt ? that "In-
tense terror pervades the entire north of the
empire. "
Thi report Is circulated that LI Hung
Chang , though now 74 years old , will be or
dered to take personal csmmand ot the armies
on the continent , notwithstanding the dissat
isfaction of the court with thi results ot his
management up to this time. The humilia
tion Inflicted upon him has gone no further
tlmn the withdrawn ! or suspension of one of
his decorations and the appointment of two
high oniclnb ta watch his proceedings , Hut
If the navy or army should meet with seri
ous disasters his position will be extremely
dangerous. Failure that cannot be kept
from exposure Is the one unpardonable crime
In Chinese statesmanship.
CHINESE : COAST DEFENSE.
While the military activity Is chiefly shown
In the north considerable attention la glvsn
to the strengthening ot fortifications along
the Chlnere coast. Orders have been sent
to Formosa to repair the works at Tai-wan-fu
nnd Takoa , owing to the rumors that the
Japancs : contemplate a descent on that
Island. No ground for this suspicion can be
discovered , nnd Japan has enough to occupy
her In Corea and the neighborhood.
The inactivity of the armies In Corca gives
rlso to various surmises , particularly In
Japan , where apprehensions of a reverse are
freely expressed , In olflc'al circles great
reticence Is shown , but suggestions are heard
to the effect that the delay Is part of n stra
tegic plan for the discomfiture of the Chinese
f.rces shortly. The armies have undoubtedly
been within a day's march from ono another
for some time. Trifling skirmishes are sup
posed to bo Inst'gated ' by the Japanese to cc-
cupy the attention ot the adversary , while a
strong body proceeds through the eastern dis
tricts ot the peninsula , Intending to etrlko
the Chinese In the rear , nnd , If possible , com
pel their surrender before they have an op
portunity to escape. Projects of a march
across the fruitier at WIJu and nn advance
upon Peking by land are discussed , though
with much caution. Direct Information Is
very sparingly vouchsafed , but not the
slightest symptom of uneasiness can be de
tected In any of the government olHcers ,
JAPANESE VETERAN IN COMMAND.
General Cutnt Camagata Is about to take
command of the entire Japanese forces In
and about Corea , both military and naval.
Ho Is one of the oldest ofllcers now In the
service , and began his career In the war ot
Imperial rest ration , 1SGS. He held the post
of minister of war for many years , and has
for a brief term been prime minister of the
government. Lieutenant General Nosu re
mains at the head of th3 troops , and Admiral
Kabayama in control cf the naval branch ,
Up to the present time no American or
European correspondents have been permitted
to follow tha Japanese trotpa In the field ,
objection being that It would be impossible
to prevent them from circulating Information
that might bo useful to the enemy. Repre
sentatives ot Japansse newspapers are allowed
to go In all directions , and may send tele
grams free of charge over the government
wires , but these privileges are limited by a
rigid censorship , which forbids publication
of all news that has n t passed under official
supervision. Enterprise is of little avail.
On more than one occasion Interesting news
has teen received by the Toklo Journals some
time In advance of Its arrhal at the Wdr cr
Navy departments , and , though , entirely fa
vorable to the Japanese side. Its appearance
In print has been prohibited until after full
details have reached the government from Its
own agents. The necessity for due caution
Is recognized by tha presj , but the rule re
quiring active newspapers to suppress their
Inf rmatlon to suit the slow ministerial pro
cesses Is loudly complained of.
CREATED A SENSATION.
A sensation has been caused In Toklo by
the action of a European correspondent who ,
on July 24 , undertook to send a telegram
stating that Japan had declared war. As
this was untrue , and as the announcement
might have seriously prejudiced Japan's In
terest , the telegraphic authorities declined
to transmit his kneesage , whereupon ho
crossed to Shanghai and telegraphed thence
that no rcllinco could be placed upon news
proceeding from Japan , as all communica
tions were submitted to a rigorous censor
ship. As a matter of fact no foreigner
sending genuine Intelligence has bsen Inter
fered with , and dispatches over the wires
have gone freely to American and European
papers.
Eight of the national banks of Toklo have
subscribed for bonds of the loan to the
amount collectively of 20,010,000 yen. The
largest subscription Is that of the Fifth
national bank 7,000,000 yen.
Frequent accusations appear In Japan
newspapers of unwarranted acts of partiality
committed by the British officials In China's
favor. Admiral Freetnantlo U charged with
having Interfered with one ot Japan's naval
operations by ordering a salute to a Japan
ese admiral at an inopportune moment , and
thus giving warning to the enemy. The
story lacks confirmatory evidence. Out It
Is certain that In spile of the British proc
lamation of neutrality , English merchants'
ships , carrying munitions of war to Chinese
naval stations , have sailed from Shanghai
without obstruction by the consul.
COREAN BUSINESS DISTURBED.
Business in Corfn is much disordered
owing to the scarcity of silver and a sudden
lack of confidence In Japanese paper money ,
which has hitherto circulated virtually at
par. The agents of the Japanese national
banks have tried every mean to arrest the
decline of paper , which now stands at 40
per cent discount , but thus far their efforts
have been In vnln. The agitation began
with the wholesale departure- the Chinese
merchants , who exchanged large quantities
of notes for silver , which they carried home
with them. The Coreans , having little
knowledge of financial matters , and putting
great faith In China's shrewdness , fear that
the notes have become worthless , and gen
erally refuse to accept them.
The United States legation Is guarded by
twenty-one marines and twenty-four sailors
1 qf the Baltimore , under the following olllcers :
Captain G. F. Elliot , Ensigns O. N. Hayward
and II. G. McFarland , Naval Cadet C. C.
Towell , Passed Assistant Surgeon P. N. Bry
ant nnd Pay Clerk James Schow. The Brit
ish legation is guarded by thirty sailors
and marines , the Russian legation by forty-
five sailors and the German legation by
twenty-tour sailors.
It is expected that early In September the
customs service at the open ports of Corea
will be taken over by the Japanese , the
Corcans being nt present Incompetent to ad
minister it. The new nrrnngemrnt Is officially
sanctioned by the government at Seoul , yet
there Is a possibility that a show of oppo
sition will be made by the present collectors ,
chiefly Europeans appointed by Chinese au
thority , but their remonstrances will receive
no attention.
PREFERRED NATIVE TROOPS ,
! ' On August 21 the Japati'se guard stationed
at the palace In Scout since July 23 was re-
placed by a party of native soldiers. At the
king's request a detachment ot Japanese
troops was ordered to be In readings when
rr ever summoned for palace duty.
rrs Corean officials travel with the Japanese
c troops In that country to explain that for
all provisions required commissariat receipts
will ba duly given and paymtnts made at
fixed times and places. Per contra , .the
Chinese army has no commissariat and lives
as it can by plundering the products ol the
districts through which it passes. All for
eign captains and engineers employed by th :
China Merchant Steam Navigation companj
threw up their engagements on publication !
of the neutrality proclamations of their re-
ipectlvo countries.
My order ot Viceroy LI Hung Chani
placards have been posted throughout Tim

the war and to treat all frtlgners ! with re

Wednesday "by the Steamer Spree. He will

In the course of an Interview today with
the representative of the Associated press ,
Mr. Wellman said the failures of Lieutenant
Peary to reach North Greenland show that ,
like the Wellman expedition , he met un
usual difficulties , arising from the extremely
unfavorable season. He warmly defended
his expedition against the charges made of
Inexperience and bad outfit. He especially
protested Ihat he had not abandoned I'rof.
Oyen on Dane's Island. The professor , he
added , had 1,200 pounds of provisions on the
Island and was therefore In no danger what
ever of suffering for lack of food. I'rof.
Oycn himself had publicly absolved him from
the charge of abandonment. In conclusion ,
Mr. Wellman stated that all the Norwegian
members of the expedition had promised to
accompany the next expedition. As to
Messrs. French , Mohun nnd Dodge , truer ,
braver or better men could not be found.

WASHINGTON , Sept. 1C. ( Spscial Tele

among army ofUcers at the War department
that Colonel Gordon , who Is to succeed Col
onel Guy V. Henry In command at Fort
Myer , on Arlington Heights , ya. , across the
1'otomac from Washington ! will doubtless
bring with him an excellent ; squadron , but
the newcomers' will have tij be decidedly
above the average If they wmild keep up to
Ihe present plane the reputation of the * force
tt Fort Myer. Good behavior has been the
almost unbroken rule , the officers have been
undeservedly popular , and , more than all , the
squadron has developed military efficiency the
like of which , It Is believed , Icannot be sur
passed by any other four troops In the nrroy.
Under Colonel Henry ths post has . .become-
nearly a model Institution an the economical
administration of the quartermaster gen
eral's department would permit. The de
parture of Colonel Henry and of the officers
and men now at Fort Myer will be very prop
erly regretted by a large number ot Washing-
tonlans , many of whom received their first
real Information as to military matters
through the wide-open hospitality of those
who will soon receive orders to depart.

BOSTON , Sept. 1C. There Is every indi
cation today that within a few tlays there
will be inaugurated here one of the biggest
strikes in the history ot the clothing" trade
of New England. The various branches of
the trade held meetings today and endorsed
the iccoinmendutlons bf tlie clothing tmde
council thtit the lumiilnu system be nbol-
ished and that the weekly wage system be
established ; also that a uniform number of
working hours be established. The matter
will be liroucht before a mass meeting ot
the milted craft tomorrow night , anil it the
recommendations are adopted by a. two-
thirds vote then a series ) of conferences
with the manufacturers will be held. If
the employers agree to the/demands then the
threatened HtrlUe will be nveiteil , hut If
they refuse a strike will be ordered nt once.
The operatives claim they are In n better
shape- for a struggle than , their emplojers ,
as the latter have been waiting the result
of the tariff bill , and consequently .ate
behind with their work. They also assprt
that they have everything to gain nnd
nothing to lose , as they are jjtound down
nt present beyond endurance. A feature
the men are expecting will aid them Is
that owing to the present strike In New
Yoik the manufacturers there have been
Bending their work to be made up here. The
entire trade appears encouraged over the
prospect and at the meeting today a strike
would have been ordered If It had been
possible. _

LEXINGTON , Spt. 10. The victors eeek
to possess tlio entire Held , the vanquished
accept defeat manfully. This conclusion .19
justified by outside appearances here , which
began to manifest themselves early this
morning. One notable Indication was the
dotting of Brrcklnrldge badges And donning
of Owens badges by the most ardent young
bloods who supported Brecklnrldge through
out the campaign with their money and
their personal services. These men say that
they went to the election yesterday believ
ing that every voter at the primaries was
morally bound to support the nominee. Now
that their favorite , for whom they fought
so valiantly , teems to have suffered de
feat , they feel In honor bound to support
his opponent. Brechlnrldgc absolutely re
fuses to talk ,
The most thorough Investigation tonight
failed to find a shadow ot ground for the
rumor that ho would content Owens' elec
tion. Everybody is thoroughly tired of Iho
fierce contest that terminated at yesterday's
primaries. To contest the election would
ba to prolong the struggle. The probabili
ties , therefore , seem to be against the con
test. The best figures obtainable here to
night at this hour give totals for candidates
as follows : Owens , 7,030 ; Hrecklnrldgc ,
7,670 ; Settle , 3,103. Owens * plurality , 320.
Corrected returns , which are- expected tomor
row , will probably vary but little from these
figures.
A strong Brecklnrldgo man , cashier In one
of the banks here , attributed the defeat of
his candidate to thu opposition of Judge
Morton and I'rof. McGarvcy of the Christian
church. Ho said : "The Christian church
has a very strong following here and , while
ordinarily wo should have given 800 or 1,000
iluraltty to Brecklnrldgc , wo carried FayMtc
: ounty by only 205 votes. "
Colonel John 11. Allen , county attorney ,
mo of Ilrecklnrldge's incessant supporters ,
says that he Intends to support Owens and
n fact Is wearing an Owens button.
Then Is nothing definite In the way of
cturns at 9:30 : tonight. The Owens men
claim the election of Owens by 410 plurality ,
while the Urecklnrldge men claim Owens'
plurality Is only 1C9. It la believed by many
ivell posted On ens men that Brccklnrldgc
ivlll contest the election.
No official returns have been received from
he country , most of the telegraph olllces In
.he smaller towns bslng closed on Sunday.
The Hrecklnrldgo managers from all parts of
.ho district have been In close consultation
here. They figure Owens' plurality at 169 ,
against the 410 plurality claimed by Owens
mill.

lent votes , as GOO more democrats voted In
this county yesterday than at the last elec
tion.

At 10 p. m. Desha Brecklnrldge said he
vas confident of his fither's election , raying :
"I cannot give out a statement by counties ,
but our latest reports reduce Owens' plu
rality to 141. I am sure * the county will be
given to us by the district committee when
it meets. If It does not I nm not prepared
to say what will follow mayba a contest. "
At Midway , Bert Hammond confessed to
the judges tint he had cast an Illegal vote ,
and asked that one less vote be counted fm
Owens. The Judges refused ( ode this , and
Hammond was summoned to appear In courl
tomorrow.
Lite tonight the leading Owens m n say
It the nomination Is taken from 0\vens and

When the news ot the victory was made

Owens and tried to carry him upon their
shoulders. hTe courthouse ball was rung , a
balloon nas sent up , fireworks tilled the air
and bonfires blazed on every corner. A dry
goods box was placed on the public square
and Owens was Id ted upon. It. After the
croud had yelled Itself hoarss , they Insisted
on a speech , and Owens spoke brlclly from
the balcony of the Wells house. lie said'
"For some months , I have been furnishing
the chin music , but this Is to me the sweet
est music I ever heard. You have done all
you promised to da , but I want to exact one

SAUATOGA , Wyo. , Sept. 1C. ( SpeclalO
The people residing on Luke creek , some slK
or eight miles northeast of this place , have
unearthed some very uncomfortable neigh
bors , who were quietly enjoying their houses
s well as theinselves , being no less -trran
numerous nests of tarantulas. The first dis
covery was made III an old log cabin on the
ranch of A. G. Bullock , by John Cummins ,
nn old timer , a resident of Denver at present ,
who was then on a visit He found one In
the cabin , nnd at once recognized Its deadly
character. When he attempted to kill It
the reptile showed light , and Jumped three
or four feet at him repeatedly until dla-
P.atched. It had a body as largeas the top
of an ordinary coCeo cup , covered with long
hair , and legs three or four Inches long , and
as large almost as a lead pencil. Search
was made for more , and they were found
under the cavis of all the buildings on the
ranch , where they had entrenched them
selves , and had built nests with trap doors.
They were of a light-grayish color. Some
of them were also spotted and mottled in a
curious way. About twenty were dispatched
by the people there before the hunt was
given over.
Word was carried to other ranches , and
tarantulas were found to abound. At the
ranch of Hubert Grooms , only a mile dis
tant from that of Bullock's , they found
about a dozen , and at the riuici of John
Mead , ttlll further up on the same stream ,
between eight and a dozen were killed. On
l.wer Paso cresk. at the ranch of Wlllanl
II. Mead , about fifteen miles north of here ,
they killed a number of "big spiders" this
summer , nnd there Is no doubt that they
were tarantulas. These discoveries have put
everybody In the qul vlve , and every ranch
man will proceed to destroy these pc&ts when
ever found , with the view of exterminating
them.
Just how these deadly Inhabitants of warm
southern countries came to gain a foothold
In this high northern country Is a great
mystery. It Is conjectured that the eggs
may have been transported here by the
wind , or In packsaddles or some such means.
Heretofore that portion of the Saratoga
valley south of the old emigrant trail , which
runs across the country some ten or twelve
miles below here , has been free from any
poisonous reptile or any character. North of
the old emigrant road , and especially In bog
backs on each si do of the North Plutte river ,
rattle-snakes ant abundant , and are fre
quently met with on the prairies. They at
tain considerable size , one of uhlch. killed
recently , measured bctwe n five nnd six feet ,
and Its stuffed skin adorns ono of the saloons
of this place at the present time. No one
has , however , been bitten by theJe venomcus
snakes for a great many years , and the in
habitants of that region have come to regard
them as a kind of necessary evil , to be borne
without comment .or complaint.
