Reciprocal Freedom of Trade. There shall be reciprocal freedom of commerce and navigation between the territories of the two hig contracting parties. They shall have liberty freely to come with their ships and cargoes to all places, ports and rivers in the territory of the other, which are or may be open to foreign commerce, and shall enjoy, respectively, the same treatment in matters of commerce and navigation as native citizens or subjects, of the most favored nation.
No other or higher duties shall be imposed on importations into the territory of the United States of any article, the produce or manufacture of the territory of his- majesty the emperor of Japan, from whatever place arriving, and no other or higher duties shall be imposed on the importations into the territories of his majesty the emperor of Japan, of any article, the produce or manufacture of the territories of the United States, from whatever place arriving than on the like articles produced or manufactured in any foreign country nor shall any prohibition be maintained or imposed on the importations of any article. No other or higher duties or charges shall be imposed in the territories of either of the high contracting parties on the exportation of any article to the territories of the other than such as are, or may be, payable on the exportation of the like article to any other foreign country. The roasting trade of both the high contracting parties is except from the provisions of the present treaty and shall be regulated according to the laws, ordinances and regulations of the United States and Japanese governments respectively. Vessel Fitting and Supplies.
Any ship of war or merchant vessel of either of the high contracting parties which may be compelled by stress of weather or by reason of any other distress to take shelter in a port of the other shall be at liberty to refit herein, to procure all necessary supplies and to put to sea again without paying any dues other than such us would be payable by national vessels. In case, however, the master of a merchant vessel should be under the necessity of disposing of a part of his cargo in order to defray expenses, he shall be bound to conform to the regulations and tariffs of the place to which he may come. Further Protection Guaranteed. The citizens or subjects of each of the high contracting parties shall enjoy in the territories of the other the same protection as native citizens or subjects in regard to patents, trade marks and designs upon the fulfillment of the formalities prescribed by law.
Duration of the Treaty.
This treaty shall, from the date it comes into force, be substituted in place of the four treaties of peace an amity previously concluded, and shall go into operation July 17, 1899, and shall remain in force for the period of twelve years from that date. Either high contracting party shall have the right at any time after eleven years shall have elapsed from the date it goes into operation to give notice to the other of its intention to terminate the same, and at the expiration of twelve months after such notice is given this treaty shall wholly cease and determine.
A Protocol.
The protocol of the treaty provides that the import tariff now in operation in Japan in respect of goods and merchandise imported into Japan by citizens or the United States shall cease to be binding. From the same date the general statutory law of Japan shall, subject to previous conventions, be applicable to goods and merchandise being the growth, produce or manufacture of the territories of the United States upon importation into Japan. But nothing contained in this protocol shall be held to limit or qualify the right of the Japanese government to restrict or prohibit the importation of any article which for sanitary reasons, or in view of public morals, might offer any danger.

Mi.n NKAports, Minn., Dee. |t».—Th*» authorities arc satisfied they have all the parties connected with the murder of M'.ss atherine Ging. The conlessiou of -Airy Hayward lias cleare«l up the-mystery and it i»« known that had one unm acted upon information given hitu by Adrv Hayward the murder might have been prevented. According to-, the confession, the crime was planned monthsao'o by Harry Hay- I ward, who induced C. A. lllixt to kill the woman. The fact that the tnurder was to be done and the motive were kmuvnjjto Adry Hayward long before, the fatal night. Adry llayward tried to dissuade his brother from carrying the plan int» execution and told Devi M. Mew art of the plot. The latter scouted the idea, did not report. the matter to the police and Cu I iierino Gjng uiis killed. Her death was accomplished by Hayward, whose sole motive j.-» tf» secure life iusunu.eo. After the crime had been eoni' tied Mru'iirt came forward, told all -jiv-\i'\v and rendered the nuthoriies v-tiua.ide a id.

Hlixt made a confession in which he at first charged Harry Hayward with the actual ivillin/ of Miss Ging. but shortly a ter •••tiiid ni-^h admitted that his c.i.int'csjdon was untrue, and that he, luniself. hud committed the murder. Jlayward had interested Miss in a "green-goods" scheme and drove with her from the West house, until they reached the corner of Ib nnep.n and Franklin avenues. about miles from where the murder was committed There they met Hlixt whom Hayward pushed into the buggy with instructions to drive to where they would meet Hay ward, who would have the goods with him. Previous to that Hayward had induced Miss Ging to entrust what money she had, lUixt did not know how much, to him. Hlixt. and Miss Ging drove around the end of the lake and Miss Ging became anxious and began to ask about Hayward. When they reached the scene of the murder she was looking out the side of the buggy and while* in this position l»ii*t shot her. He drove about the counl ry about an hour ami when he was satisfied that she was dead ho threw the body out and went home. (aw:ird

uti Alibi.
The police believe that on alighting from the buggy llayward immediately ran across to Uyndale avenue, boswded a car for the city and went directly to the basement of the U/.nrk flats, where he met Mrs. IUi\t, incidentally remarking that it was ju^t 7:: u. This was lor the purpose, say the police, of strengthening his alibi. As a matter ot fact, the time must have been within fifteen minutes of s. He then cut across lots to the house of C. J. Uartelson. two blocks away. Here he again called attention to the time. He then accompanied Miss liartcls.on, to whom lie was engaged to be married, to the theater, arriving there directly after 8 o'clock, whore he was seen and recognized by dozens of peoph It was his presence at the theater before the curtain went up, at that has made the community believe that it was impossible for Hayward to have done the shooting himself.
Had Other Job* on Jlnnd.
Hlixt tells or several other jobs which had been proposed by Hayward but which fell through, and says that after this job. for which he was to receive S'v.uOJ, or one-lifth of the life insurance involved, he uas to receive $400 for "doing" a Ch'icngo man.
Hlixt also tells a :t-ory to th2 effect that Harry (Inward wanted his assistance in disposing of the father and mother of a young woman in Minneapolis whom he wanted to marry and fcceure her property.

Jordan continued: "Barnes came iuto the basement and began to quarrel with nie, He asked nie where the screwdriver was and when I told him I did not know he called me a liar and made a smash at me with his fist. When ho came at me again I gave it to him with the ax."
