They Think Japan Has Snubbed
the U.S.
THE STATE DEP'T SAYS NO.
The United States is With Japan's
Consent Now Really in a Position ,
to Mediate. '
Associated Press.
Washington, Nov. 23. The latest Jap.
an-Chlna developments disclose an In
teresting game of diplomacy. Cable ad
vices stating thlat British officials are
delighted with the rebuff sustained by
the United Stattes In Japan's rejection
of mediation, causes much amusement
among diplomats here who are famil
iar with the facts. Any delight which
the British officials may express at
Japan's refusing the United suites, 1b
attributed but to personal reasons or
financial consideration, end not to the
failure of the object Great Britain ear
nestly sought! The latest phase of the
controversy in the departure of China's
minister of customs for China to ar
range terms of peace, further assures
the officials hei that China has em
braced the peace policy along the lines
openly proposed by the United States
and covertly desired by Great Britain.
It Is regarded as rtatural that English
diplomats should prefer that their ulti
mate aim, peace, chould be essoin
pliBhed with as little distinction as pos
sible for the United States as mediator,
But there Is another and good reason
why any expression of delight at the
snubbing of the United States Is en
tirely out of place at this point. The
state department officials say that the
United States have not been snubbed
at all. The reply of the Japanese guv.
ornment to our overture was extreme.
ly courteous In expression and In spirit,
and It did not by any means amount to
a rejection. On the contrary It pointed
out a way In which the United States
could assist In restoring peace, if China
should be In a proper frame of mind
That was by authorizing our minister
In China and Japan to transmit tha
proposals. Thi3 authority has beer
conferred by our state department, and
so in the persons of our ministers, the
United States government Is really to
day In a place of mediator with the
consent of the Japanese government,
and consequently is in a fair way to
attain its object Irrespective of the sen.
timent of European powers.
HERSHFIELD-HOGAN CASE.
Causing Intense Excitement at Fargo,
North Dakota.
Fargo, N. D., Nov. 23. In the Hersh-
fleld-Hogan divorce case today the
plaintiff, Aaron Hershfleld, teatided to
having been overworked as cashier at
Helena during and since the panic of
1893, and could not concentrate his
thoughts upon any subject. He told of
the defendant's visiting him at the
bank, having a check cashed and ask
ing him to obtain a situation for her,
and said she next called at his rooms
over the bank on Sunday and asked
about the situation. She stayed about
an hour, and at thlat time he became
criminally intimate with her. She fre
quently visited him after that date.
He paid her from J1.000 to J2.000 during
the six months. She charged him with
being the father of her unborn babe,
made threats what lier brothers would
do, and one night two men Jumped
out of an alley on the Bide of the street
and told him they would kill him unletis
he married the girl. He agreed to do
so and afterwards fulfilled his promise.
They made an agreement of settlement
at thait time, but he lost his pocket
book containing this paper. The case
Is exciting this city far more than any
ever tried here before.

Are False.

sustained by the United States and

THE NEW TREATY.
It Is Advantageous In Every Way to
Americans.
Washington, Nov. 23. The chief fea
ture of the new Japanese treaty Is in its
recognition of Japan as a civilized
country. The new treaty recognizes the
Japanese courts, and does away wiih
the offensive foreign consular courts.
But in order that time may be given
for the Japanese Judicial system to be
further perfected, the. date when they
assume tthelr new functions is post
poned for five year.
The restriction on Japanese immigra
tion to this country is also an important
feature of the new treaty. Japan is
ready to accede to this because as ehej
olaims, her oiltlzens are not desirous
of immigrating In large numbers to
America, and also because the Japan
law prohibits them from Immigrating
contrary to the American contract law.
These features of the taw are said to
be framed with a view of developing.
ithe commerce of both countries.,' The;
treaty also gives Americana greater
property rights In Japan, allowing all
property rights except the right to own
land In fee simple.
