JAPAN MUST HURRY.
IF She Has Any Intention of Arrest
ing Russia's Progress

London, Nov. 14-CarefuI inquiries
made by the Associated Press reveal
nothing in diplomatic circles here to
justify the alarmist view taken by
section of the press regarding the stu
alton in the far east. That serious
deuoument is so close at hand as is
indicated by advfces from Shanghai
during the last tWenty-fOur hours, is
regarded as incredible. For a long time
it has been known here-and 1t was as
serted in Associated Press dispatches
two months ago-that China and Japan
We're closely allied but neither British
nor American dipIomatists in London
believe that this alliance is Of an Of
fensiVe nature.
At any rate it can be asserted posi-
lively that if Japan and China con-
template aggressive action against
Russia, Lord Salisbury is not aware
of their intention and it is scarcely
probable that those powers would de-
eide upon any definite course without
at least consulting Great Britain, who
in the nature of things, would be their
ally whether active or passive. How
ever, while the foreign officials have no
information tending to confirm recent
sensational reports. they have come to
regard the eastern problem as so diff
cult in respect of getting accurate in
formation that they would be surprised
at nothing. They have endeavOred to
take precautions against everything.
In the words of the British official
who discussed the situation with a rep
reSentatiVe of the Associated Press,
Russia and Japan are easy of creation
and while they are liable to constant
reiteratiOn, so long as the diplomats of
the press continue to view the far east
with such serious attention it is certain
that if Japan really means to strike a
serious blow at Russian control she
must do it quickly, for very soon Rus
STA will be far stronger than she is
now"
Discussing the bearings of Russia
new naval estimates upon this question,
the official asserted that these clearly
increase the Russian fleet in Chinese
waters, which if done on the scope out
lined in the estimates, would leave
Japan but little chance.
Another phase of these reports
which has astonished me" said the
official, is the suggestion of Chinese
cooperation. Thus far no nation has
been able to arouse the Chinese sufff-
GENTLY to get them to combine in mill
tary enterprises. If Japan has done
this, or even believes she has, then she
has accomplished more than Great
fort
The action of the United States gov
eminent in requesting assurances from
foreign governments regarding the
open door, policy in China has Gre
ated intense satisfaction in British Off
cial circles.
Lord Salisbury according to the
official quoted above, has gladly
acquiesced in this step on the part of
the United States, which is regarded as
most potent evidence that the United
States recognize the imPOSSi bility of
the cooperation of other nations and
as the first practical earnest of their
desire to conduct eastern negotiations
in concert with European government"

OCTOBER EARNINGS.
Railroad Reports Show a Decrease
For the Month of 100000.

The October earnings of United
States railroads furnish perhaps the
best indication yet had of the great
Improvement which is taking place in
railroad business, and of the further
fact that this Improvement follows not
from a large crop movement but from
the activity of trade throughout the
whole range of the country's industries
Those who have been inclined to at
tribute recent gains to an augmented
volume of traffic in grain and other
leading staples should be undeceived
by this latest statement. AS a matter
Of fact, the increase in earnings, which
is of large proportions, has been made
in face of a contraction in the move
ment of every one Of the leading
staples.
Stated in brief, the compilation of the
Financial Chronicle, covering SO. 604
miles of road, shows for October an in

the same basis the gain for the whole
system of roads in the country would
reach $40 coo, 600. What lends special
significance to this Improvement, as al
ready stated,is that the roads, in the
aggregate. had a diminished tonnage
in grain, in cotton, in provisions and in
live stock. Another fact should not be

made the argument for the railroad

on the part of the company is that the

A LECTURE ON CHARITY
MRS. WILLIAMS AT THE Y. NJ. G.
A. LAST EVENING.
Advocates Systematic Work by All

for Common Good.

Mrs. williams delivered a most in
terestng and instructive lecture of
forty-five minutes in the Y. NJ. G. A.
hall last evening on the subject of the
Old and New Way in Philanthropy.
About 100 people heard it. President
Dole had a seat upon the platform.
The lecturers scheme was that adj
vanced by the Charity Organization
Society of eastern cities, which con-
templates cooperative and systematic
work Each city has it's society under
a manager and an investigator, with
strong corps of visitors, or persons
who look after the needy. The latter
are assigned to districts into which
the city is divided. Manager and in
vestigator receive salaries and devote
their entire time to the work. Visitors
are the volunteer philanthropists.
BY dstrictng a city all are reach
ed. Every person in need is properly
registered and the case is systematic
ally attended to by the society This
attention is sometimes in the nature
of friendship, sometimes in the shape
of moral suasion or training and some
times down to hard cash. In New York,
Philadelphia, Buffalo. Baltimore, Chi
cago, Minneapolis and other cities a
great amount of good had been done in
the past ten or fifteen years. In Lon
don actual suffering had been reduced

marks she was loudly applauded.

CATHOLIC MISSION CHANGES.
Newly Arrived Priests Being Assigned
to Various Stations.

Father Alys one of the recently ar
rived and recently ordained priests of
the Roman Catholic Mission, left this
morning on the Mauna Loa for Lahai-
ma, where he will go into residence as
the assistant to Father Andrew.
Next week another of the newly ar
rived fathers. Father Adelbert, will
go to Hanamaulu, Kauai, to take
charge of the work there. The work
at this place has been in charge of
Father Emmeran of Koloa, but the
district has now been divided and that
at Hanamaulu made a separate sta
ton.
Next week Father Julian will go TO
take charge of the work at South Kona
which has been without a resident
priest since the tragic death about a
year and a half ago of the young
priest who was then the incumbent.
