RECENT TREATY APPROVED ' Note Sent By Secretary I'ractl rally Endorse English-Japanese Compact-How ' Power Stand. CHICAGO, Feb 21.-The Tribune to. day print the following cablegram from Pekln, under1 date of February 19: " A enstlon wa coumJ In diplo mat If circle here today, when ltbe cume known that the United States, through Secretary of State Hay, had item a . note to the Russian and Chi ned governments following closely along th line of th Anglo-Japanes treaty of January 30. Tht note la a distinct wiarnlng to both China and Rula that ih Crnt ed States will not permit the integrity of the empire to be molested In favor of one nation to the detriment of an dther. The note, which practically In dorses the English treaty with Japan. says: .... "Washington. D. C. Feb. l.-An agreement whereby China give any corporation or company the exclusive right or privilege of opening mine, establishing railroad or In any other way Industrially developing Maru.hu rla can be viewed with the graveat concern by the ' government of the United Bute. "It constitutes a monopoly which la a distinct breach of the stipulations of the ireatle concluded between China and foreign lowers and there by aertoufly affects the. eight of Am erican clHsens. . "It restrict their rightful trade, ei- poalng It to bing discriminated agalnut, Interfermt with or otherwlae Jeopardlf ed. and t,rvnly tend to per- nwtnently Impairing China aovereign rlifht Ui thl part of the empire, while 1t nvrioualy interfere with ber ability to meet International obliga tion, , . "Furthermore. Much a coneelon on China' part would undoubtedly be followed by demand from other pow er for almilar equal extensive ad vantttge el ww here in the Chlneae em pire, and the Inevitable result muat be the complete wreck 'of the policy of absolute equality of treatment to all nattona respecting trade, naviga tion and commerce within the em pire confine. "On the other hand, the attainment by one power of auch exclusive privi lege for the commercial organization of Ita nationality conflict with the amirance repeatedly conveyd to thla government by the Imperial Russian ministry 6 foreign affaira of the im perial government' Intention to fol low the policy of the open door as ad vocated by the government of the United States and accepted by all the treaty power having commercial In terests in the empire. ,, "It 4s for these reasons that the gov ernment of the United States,. now aa formerly animated by the alncereat desire of Insuring to the whole world the benefits of full and fair Intercourse between China and the nattona on a foritlng of equal right and advantages to alt, submit the above to the earn est consideration of the Imperial gov ernment of China and Russia, con fident thatlthey will give weight to Its importance and thatvUiey will adopt such, measure aa will relieve the just and natural anxiety of the United States." 't , The Tribune prints, also, the follow ing special from "Washington: 'It has been -understood here from the outset hat the terms of the Brlt-teh-Japanese government to prevent the Integrity of China waa submitted In advance to President (Roosevelt and Seoretary Hy and approved by them. "Following out the traditional policy, however, of avoiding entangling alli ances, the Untted Statea positively de clined to become a party to any actual agreement concerning China. When lord Cranbourne, In the British parliament last week, declared there waa no doubt the Brltlsh-Jap-aneae agreement would command the full approval of the United States, he spoke by authority. The agreement between Great Britain and Japan was dated January 30. There Is, there fore, deep slgniloance that on (Febru ary 1, two days after the treaty was signed, thla country sent to Russia a note practically adopting the principle of the treaty as the policy of the Unit-1 ed States. The agreement between Qreat Britain and Japan la largely a military one and provide for a joint use of force In case of hostilities, ( "Secretary Hay'a letter, ,of course, could not go bo that extent, but the substance f It aa telegraphed leave no doubt that ; Russia ha been notified of the fact In strong diplo matic language that , the moral sup port of th United 8Utea 1 win Great IMtxln and Japan and that this country will necessarily resent any failure on the part of Russia, to re deem the pledge It made to President McKlnley that the open door policy should be applied to Manchuria. "Apparently Becretary Hay waited until after the British-Japanese treaty wa mado public so that the note of the United States might have all of the weight of ari Indorsement of that treaty. It i believed here also that Germany wrote a ' similar note to Russia and ' that, while tha emperor was unwilling to participate In an aHI ano with England and Japan, he was averse to letting the csar Ichow that (Jenmanys Interest in the Orient would be Jealously guarded. "It I expected. In ract, that!Oer many and the United States will be found to be occupying , the same posi tion, and thus thw-rejralt will be that Russia and France will be arrayed on one aide and, Great Britain, Ger many, Japan aad the United Sutea on the other."

Owners of Troperty JMay Work Claim With .Aid or Hyn dlcate'a Water.' VANCOUVER, B. C, Feb. M.-Oov- ernor Ross, of the Klondike, arrived here yesterday from the North by the steamer Amur. In an Interview con cerning the Tread gold concession, about which so much excitement has been raised, Governor Rose aald: v ' "I have not seeen the amended or- der-ln-councll concerning the conces sions to the Treadgold syndicate, but I did see the original -rder. and. un less some very material alterations have been made In the' document, nothing but benefit to the Klondike can result from the agreement which has been reached between the govern ment and the syndicate. "Owing to the fact that there are many claims on the creek In the Klondike region which cannot be sue- cesfully worked at present on account of the poor water supply, the owners can but await the time when some powerful financial corporation or syn dicate provides a generous water sup ply. That Is what the Treadgold syn dicate has contracted with the govern ment to do, and in return for its cash outlay the government will allow It to work the Inaccessible bench claims, the titles to which have lapsed or which the owners do not care to work. Owners of claims have the privileges of working their properties' with he aid of the Treadgoid water, for which they must pay a reasonable sum to the syndicate, the amount be ing set by the government, so that no Imposition on the part of the syndi cate will take place. . That is the question as I understand It, and such being the case the concession cannot but be a source of great beenflt to the whole region." Governor Ross' present trip out Is for the purpose of conferring with the Ottawa authorities. TO RECEIVE THE PRINCE. Arrangements for Reception at Waah- ' ington Completed. (WASHINGTON. Feb. 20.

One of the government's most trusted transport captains who had a knowledge of the soundings and, math ematics has just arrived here from the Philippines, for the purpose of taking the Titus out . He expects to begin taking sound ings about the end of April, and to complete the task by the end of May. For ascertaining depths a new device will be used. It Is a large Iron cyl inder, topped by a cone, containing air and Is hermetically sealed, except when the cylinder Is immersed. Then water flowing .into the cylinder and through a tube has access to the cone containing the air. Working on the principles of hydrau lics nd gravitation H is possible to drop the cylinder to a reasonable depth and the pressure is Indicated on a dial attached to the cone. When the cyl inder is drawn up by taking the pres sure and the depth and making the proper computations, the total depth of the sea at that point is determined. Soundings will be taken every half hour with the tug going at a speed of about six miles an hour. It ts not expected that depth greatr than 6000 feet will be found on the course.
