Proofs of an Alliance.


The New York Journal gives the
following ten proofs of an alliance
between the Mckinley administration
and the Salisbury ministry:
First-The joint high commission
was dissolved by agreement between
Secretary Hay and Lord Pauncefote
when it became evident that Canada's
claims of territory undoubtedly that
Of the United States would lead to
serious friction between the United
States and Great Britain.
Second-The joint high commission
having been dissolved by Secretary
Hay and Mr.. Tower, British charge
daffaires, by arrangement between
Salisbury and Hay, We're constituted
a commission by which the modus
vivendi on the Alaskan boundary was
arranged and by which the United
States agreed to turn over, and did
turn over to Great Britain, territory
which had been up to that time
claimed by the United States.
Third-There was an agreement be-
tween Hay and Pauncefote subse-
qucntly by which the modus vivendl
of temporary line should become it
possible the permanent boundary line.
Fourth-Secretary Hay removed Mr..
Macrum, United States consul at Pre-
toria, when Mr.. Macrum rebelled
against the interference by Great
Britain with the United States con-
sular mail. Secretary Hay appointed
in Macrum's place his son, Adelbert
Hay, who, on his way to Pretoria,
called on Lord Salisbury, and it has
been asserted that Adelbert Hay got
his instructions from the British for
eign office.
Fifth--When American sentiment
was overwhelming that the Nicaragua
canal should be built and controlled
absolutely by Americans, Secretary
Hay and Lord Pauncefote agreed on
treaty, which was suddenly sprung
on the American people, reviving the
defunct Clayton-Bulwer treaty, and
thus struck a most serious blow at
independence of action by the United
States.
SiXth-Great Britain used the United
States in the partition Of the Samoan
Islands, by which Great Britain made
a good bargain with Germany, whose
share was payment in part for Ger
many's withdrawal from the powers,
which were threatening to interfere in
the Transvaal war.
Seventh-I.ord Salisbury used Secre-
tary Hay as puppet when the latter
was allowed to offer the United States
friendly offices in the Transvaal trou-
bic, thus enabling Great Britain to an
swer all the powers through the
United States a question which Hay
had not asked.
Eighth-On July 3 the United States
sent a note to the powers Indicating
it's objection to the partition of China.
This was a mere tentative policA but
in entire accord with the policy OF
Great Britain as against that of such
nations as Germany, Russia and
France.
Ninth-Russia appears to have be-
come aware of the alliance between
the United States and Great Britain,
and has changed her tone of hostility
to the British demand that Japan shall
have the sole mandate in China. This
is proved by the daily news that Japan
is constantly increasing her force in
China, notwithstanding the original
protest of Russia.
Tenth-This recession of Russia is
eXplainable on no other theory than
the alliance btween the United States
and Great Britain, with Japan as the
secret ally of Great Britain, and there's
fore of the United States, in assisting
Great Britain to regain control of >lf-
fairs in China.
