HOLD ENTENTE IS TREATY Democratic Senators Say Japanese Agreement Must Be Confirmed. WASHINGTON. Dec. 8. The indica tions are that the Japanese-American entente designed to protect the terri torial integrity of China will be the subject of much debate In the Senate during the present session. The fact that such an agreement has been en tered into through diplomatic ex changes between Japan and the United States without the formality of a treaty Is not acceptable to Democratic leaders. They propose to institute an inquiry to determine the exact form of the understanding with a view of showing-. If possible, that the agree ment in fact is a treaty. Soon, after the entente was ' made public. Senator Bacon declared the agreement ,must have the sanction of the Senate in order to be of binding force. Discussing this question yesterday, Mr. Bacon said that he still held to that view, but he did not purpose tak ing any action until he was convinced that President Roosevelt did not In tend to transmit the agreement to the S.enate. Senator Culberson, the minority leader, has requested several lawyers to. give the subject their attention. Senators Simmons and Money have In terested themselves in an investigation of the law governing treaty-making and at this stage are inclined to the belief that the entente is a treaty.

HONGKONG, Dec. 8. There has been muchantl-foreis n agitation in Canton during' the last few days, owing to the death of a coolie on board a river boat, and the Chinese have boycotted the local river steamers.

In Hongkong the recent orders of banishment issued against certain edi tors and merchants, on the charge that they incited to rioting, because the local-shopkeepers failed to carry out the boycott recently ordered on Japan ese goods, have been followed by con tinued agitation against the Colonial Government. The vernacular press is inflamed and the Chinese lace goods guild and other similar organizations are threatening a suspension of trade pending a revision of this banishment decision.
