. The memoranda Of the three govern
mentS make it plain that they We're pre-
sented in the way of friendly advice to
the japanese government and are not
intended in any way to convey any
open or covert menace.
The impression is gaining ground that
Japan can rely upon the friendly coun-
sci Of the United States at the present
moment The governments Of Great
Britain and Italy have made it plain
that they do not intend to follow the
example of Russia, France and Ger
many, and the great commercial inter
ests of the United States in the far
East, which the Japanese-Chine trea-
ty of peace would benefit, no less
than the constant attitude of the United
States towards Japan, lead diplomats to
believe the United States at this june
ture will not fail to make use of its
good offices in such a manner as will
prevent Japan from being deprived of
the fruits of her victory.
The treaty of peace has already
been ratified by the Emperor of Papan
and it would be extremely difficult to
make any change The only effect of
Russia. France and Germany's atti-
tude must be to encourage the party in
China which is opposed to any moder-
ate and reasonable settlement and thus
to prolong the war indefinitely. 1t may
be stated in the most positive terms
that the reports thus far circulated re
garding Japans reply to the powers
are not correct. The reply had not
been sent as late as the evening of the
Goth. and from intimations received
from the highest and most reliable
sources here, it may be stated that the
reply, while moderate and conciliatory
in tone, will not contain any recession
from what Japan regards as rightfully
her due.

short of open mutiny.

WHY RUSSIA OBJECTS,

BE "A MANAGE to China.


London, April 2;-Direct and posi-
tive information from official sources
Is at hand concerning the exact ncgo-
tiations between Russia, France and
Germany on the one hand and Japan ON
the other. The Russian, French and
German ministers separately interview
ed the japanese vice minister Of for
eign affairs. under instructions from
their respective governments, and pre-
sented memorandums in which it was
stated that the governments Of Russia,
France and Germany, upon examining
the terms of peace imposed by Japan
upon China, have found that the pos
session of the peninsula Of Lila Tong.
claimed by Japan, would be n constant
menace TO the capital Of China, and at
the same time would threaten the in
dependence of Corea and render it non
effectual in fact. In this sense and for
other reasons, it would be, it was stated,
n constant menace to the permanent
peace of the far East.
Consequently the governments of
France, Russia and Germany, desiring
to show their sincere friendship for the
government of Japan, advises it to re-
nounce the absolute and final posses
sion Of the peninsula Of Lila Tong.

There is an inclination in England
to leave untitled the ancient office of
examiner of all stage plays made
vacant by the death of Mr.. Pigott The
queen is understood to have been great
ly dissatisfied with the course of the
late incumbent of the post in allowing
the woman with past to get such a
firm hold on the British state She is
fearful that the precedent established
by the no over scrupulous Mr.. Pigott
will be initiated by his SUCCESSORS, and
therefore her majesty fails to see how
any good can result from play censors
who are willing to overlook the mis-
deeds of ladies with antecedents. Sc
she inclines to let the post, like that
of the poet laureate, remain open.

negotiating the purchase of the large
herds which are held in the Huasteca
district. state of Vera Cruz. These
herds are practically the bulk Of the

ing in price through the country.

The general term of the supreme
court of New York has reversed the
judgment against Erastus Wiman, wht
was last summer convicted Of forgery
This is probably the end of the case
1t may be said now that the verdict o.
the jury was given under ruling o.
the court which gave it no alternative
but to convict. The jury were not al
lowed to decide as to Mr.. Wiman's in

term holds to be an error. 1t is reason
ably certain that should a new trial b'
had under the ruling as now defined by

DANGER OF THE AMERICANS IN ASIA MINOR.

danger to itself by colonization of foreign
| powers on the American continent, then
it had the right to enforce the doctrine; |;
| but the danger must be real and not
| fancied.
'If Great Britain is really trying to In
crease her possessions at the expense OF
| Venezuela, and if the United States sees
present or future danger in that. 1t is
matter to be considered. If, on the con-
,rary. it is, as England represents it,
merely quarrel over the location of
| boundary line made fifty years ago, then
the United States has no business to inter-
| fere.''
Frederick R. Coudert, international law
yer and diplomatist, said yesterday:
England has been the bully of the world.
Her policy has been one of aggression. She
holds Gibraltar. and by that means has
Spain by the throat. When France was
tied up with Germany England seized
Egypt, as she had previously seized Cy-
prus.
'In the event of trouble between this
country and England. France would sweep
into Egypt and Russia would march upon
Constantinople. England, of course, is
responsible for the Armenian massacres.
England will not permit Russia to seize
Constantinople and wipe the unspeakable
Turk off the face OF the earth; therefore
thousands of Christians must suffer death.
John Bull has no friends and Uncle Sam
has no enemies. If there should be trouble
between America and England the SYM
pathy of all Europe would be with MS, and
the hand of every European nation would
be raised against England.
THE English Government appreciates
its friendlessness and its helplessness, and
because Of that fact there will be no war.
If war should come the map of Europe
would be recast, and perhaps the map of
Asia, too"

PAN.AMERlCAN CONGRESS.
Diplomats Said to Secretly Consider
Its Formation.

NEW YORK, N. Y, Dec. 2o-A special
to the Herald from Washington says:
Although this was diplomatic day the
visit of Senor Mendonca, the Brazilian
Minister; Senor Romero. the Mexican
Minister, and Senor Andrade, the Vene-
zuelan Minister, to the State Department,
was regarded as high significant, especi-
ally as these gentlemen were closeted with
the Secretary for some time. All they
would say afterward was that they called
to pay their respects, but it is not doubted
that the Presidents message and the cor
respondence were fully discussed.
1t is pointed out that to effect an alliance
between the Pan-American countries in
ested it would not be necessary to enter
into formal treaty. It would only be
necessary for the countries to enter into
an agreement to support each other in
time of war, and there is reason to believe
that all would abide by it.
1t is also suggested to-day that there is
possibility of a treaty between Pan-Amer-
lean countries by which arbitration will
be resorted to to settle all disputes in
which one may become involved with an
other,
