Feb. 22.-The senate failed totla.v to ratify the new Japanese trade and commerce treaty. It was criti cised by Senator Hale on the ground that It was another "reciprocity" measure and was defended by Senator I-oclge. It proba bly will come before the senate again to morrow, i The new treaty Is slated for approval by the senate before the expiration of the present session, unless the administration has deceived Itself after careful Bounding of all of the" elements In the senate that might be supposed to be particularly In terested In that subject. Besides the sen ators from the Pacific coast states, those from the middle west and the east, who are membera of the committee on foreign re lations or have In the past exhibited a dis position to resist any measures that would admit of the enlargement of Japanese Im migration, have been consulted. ther by the president himself, or by T.jcretary Knox, or some of the responsible officials of the State department. The treaty was ordered favorably re ported from the committee on foreign rela tions. Secretary of State Knox explained the provisions of the treaty and answered many questions to satisfy members of tha committee that the proposed change af fecting Immigration would not let down the bars of unrestricted Immigration of coolie -labor. The committee finally adopted a resolu tion of ratification, the terms of which sat isfied members that there is no danger of difficulty with Japan over the Immigra tion of laborera by reaaon of the new treaty having omltte! tha provision of the convention of 1894. which recognised tha right of either country to make regula tions on. the aubject of Immigration. This resolution declares that this question will be left absolutely to diplomatic arrange ment . between the governments of tha Called States and Japan. - Kim Aaavrer Qnralloas. One or two senators inquired of Secre tary Knox what would happen under tha new treaty If JaipanMe colony in' Sle'xW attempted to move over . to the Cnltod Htates. Secretary Knox replied that only such Japanese as had passports could enter the United states and therefore any attempting to coma In from Mexico would be atopped at the border by American im migration officera. Senator Lodge was authorial to make the report favoring the ratification of tha treaty. Ha Is said to have canvassed tha sentiment among Paclfio coast senators " uuu inai inert wouia De no opposition to the measure. The Paclfio coast senator., it is said, . have been brought to see that tha exclusion of unde sirable alien, never has been accomplished by treaty, but by tha regulations of this government. 1 The omUslcn of any reference to Immi gration, which was mads as a tribute to Japanese national honor and in consider ation of Japanese pride, la said not to have affected the situation at all. For a year past, according to assurance, given to tea department of State by mmlgiatlon of ficsra, Japan has been co-operating with thia government in reducing immigration of laborera to the United States. Prateat from (allforala. I- SACIIAMENTO. Cal.. Feb. 22.-A resolu tion waa Introduced ln the state senate today calling on President Taft to with draw the new Japanese treaty, appealing to tha Vnlted States senate to refuse its assent and Instructing the California dele gation to oppose ratification. Governor Johnson declined to discuas the new treaty. Chairman Wright of tha federal relations committee of the senate today aent the following telegram to President Taft: Mr. President: California is much alarmed over the newspaper report of the proposed new Japanese treaty. The federal govern ment, unlexs positively assured that Japan will enforce regulations restricting immi gration to the I nited states of such sub jects as are Inimical to our western clvlil xatiun, should Insist upon a restriction clause in the new treaty. Less than this will tnflama the public mind all along the Pacific coast and may lead to a condition that will he deplored by those most desirous of preserving amity and good will between the t'nited States and Japan.

COUNTY OPTION BILL REPORTED enanre Will tio to Third Heading n loose Without Debate More Oratory on Initiative and Itefrrendam. (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN. Feb. 22.. -(Special. )-Two con trary views to 'the real nature of the stock yards of Fouth Omaha seemed to be tha question In the contention before the aen ate today. The advocates of the OUIs bill ostensibly designed for the protection and convenience of the shipper, described the corporation aa a cormorant of more or less greedy nature which had long fattened fattened upon tho shipper and should now come forward and ba "regulated." Th4 enemies of tha bill were almost as warm aa the attorneys for the yards In their pic tures of the yards as a struggling enter prise representing the scraped and com bined wealth of wldowa and orphans try ing to make a small dividend out of un selfish service to tha shippers. -Janaen Opposes Bill. Senator Jansen of Oage, who Is one of the chief shippers of sheep In this atate and piobubly In control of Wore sheep than any other one man In this part of tha country, is against the bill. He asxerted that ha had never had any complaints to make and was entirely satisfied with tha service rendered by the company. Senator Ollis, who Is himself a shipper of cattle and the author if the bill, re marked later In the discussion Hint It was probably the fact that Senator Jansen Is so ImportHiit a shipper than he had no complaints tq make. Senator Albert of Datte took up ths question of lobbying which waa Introduced Into the debate yesterday by Hoagland. "If any man wants thus to shield himself from temptation he may have some reason for seeking to settle all such mailers at once," said Senator Albert. "I for one would Ilka to see one of these lobbyist we hear ao much about. I'd like to look at one and talk to htm and see what ha la like. I reaent the Imputation that this branch of the government Is not aa high above suspicion as any other. "There are evils to ba remedied by soni.t regulation of the stock yards, but I believe that this bill Is. a poof remedy . and for that reason I am againat it. Home onV might why I do not amend It. It cannot be amended satisfactorily, because It . la too complex and comprehensive." Pabllo Service Compaay. ' Senator Kemp In hla argument for tha bill Bought to establish only the one point that the stock yards are' a public service corporation and are for that reason subject to Just the same regulatory laws aa are applied to railroads and . telephone com panies. He declared that the attorneys of the companies have in fact defied the legis lature to undertake any regulation because the yards are a private enterprise. "Omaha senators can naturally support thia bill, because this Is representing the wishes of their constituents, but senators representing rural districts cannot consist ently do so." Senator Tlbheta Tired. Senator Tibbeta took an opposite view. 11 admitted his own lack of knowledge of con ditions, but maintained that hla friends have told him that there were no reasons for complaining of the service In the Boutb Omaha yards. He said he was tired of the continual talk about corporations aa If they had no rights and were the legitimate prey of legislatures.
