ANGLO-PoRTUGUEsE ALLIANCE.
Offensive and Defensive Agreement Said
to Have Been Reached.

Offensive and Defensive Agreement Said
to Have Been Reached.
LONDON, Feb. 12.-There exists to-
day what practically amounts to an
offensive and defensive alliance be-
tween Great Britain and Portugal.
The Associated Press is able to state
that the real reason for Great Britains
tremendous military activity is deter
mination to convince Portugal that it
is advisable to meet Great Britain's de-
mands regarding the ports essential
tor carrying on the Boer war, namely,
Delagoa Bay and Beira, and at the
same time, having secured Portugals
assent to every proposition made, be
in position to support that country
against an united European opposition.
No word of this is printed or hinted at
In London, but the Associated Press
learns that intense pressure is being
brought to bear on Portugal by CONT
mental powers to prevent her from
giving aid to the British. Portugal's
minister at London, Senior Pinto de
Several, is almost as much an English
man as n Portuguese and his govern
ment is only too willing to do every
thing, far beyond the bounds of neu-
trality, to help Great Britain to protect
Portugal. Lord Salisbury is deter
mined this shall be done, and is count
ing on the cooperation of his country
men to put the nation on a footing to
defy European opposition. He has
this week taken definite measures re-
garding the aforementioned ports
that can only be described as daring.
Portugal, bending to the modicum of
coercion, and convinced that Great
Britain Is able to uphold her, has
acquiesced until there practically exists
to-day an alliance of the strongest
fibre between Great Britain and Port
ugal. Yet, for reasons of diplomacy,
nothing could be more quickly officially
denied in London or Lisbon.

NEWTON, Feb. l0.-Judge A. r.

murrers were overruled by Judge
Dewey, who declared the law to be
both constitutional and retroactive.
Under this decision, which is the first
to be made on the points involved.
taxes may be collected for five years

will thus be saved to the state, as the
system has been adopted by many

TROOPS LEAVE FRANKFORT.

Governor Taylor VIII Not Sign Agree
ment, But Orders Troops Away.
FRANKFORT, Feb. Ex-Governor Tay-
Tor has decided not to sign the confer.
ence agreement, but has ordered the
troops away, has issued proclamation
converting the legislature In Frankfort
to-day, and says he will permit the
courts to settle the controversy. There
is no doubt what the decisions of the
courts and legislature will be, as both
have already gone on record as favor
Ing the Goebel side. The new align.
ment of the parties is as follows: The
republicans will stand on the legality
of Governor Taylor's proclamation adj
journing the legislature to meet at
London, and will hold to be illegal all
acts of the democratic legislature since
the date of that proclamation, chief
among which are the declaration OF
the election of Governor Goebel and
Lieutenant-Govern Beckham. II the
democratic legislators 60 back to
Frankfort, the republicans will insist
that John Marshall and not L. II. Car
ter Is Acknowledgements and presi.
dent Of the senate. They are free to
take the matter of the governorship to
the federal courts If they can make q
case in which such an appeal will lie.
IT the democrats refuse to return to
Frankfort, they may attempt to force
the attendance of absentees, though
this would be treading on shaky legal
grounds. Meanwhile they will press
the suit before Judge Taft, involving
the minor state offices. The democrats
will dispute the legality of Governor
Taylor's proclamations adjourning the
legislature to London and back again
to Frankfort. They will contend that
the legislature was dispersed by SOL
diers and adjourned to Louisville by
its own action in adopting with
working quorum a concurrent resolu-
ton to that effect; that its acts have
been legal; that by another concurrent
resolution it may return to Frankfort
when conditions warrant, as it Is the
only authority by which its sessions
may be transferred from one place to
another; that under the law the legis-
lature is the court of last resort in a
contest for the offices of governor and
lieutenant governor. Meanwhile,
Beckham will be recognized by this
legislature as the legal governor. The
positions are irreconcilable and while
they are maintained u clash can only
be deferred.

Basis of the American Opposition to the
Hay-Pauncefote Treaty.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-The opposi-
ton to the ratification by the United
States senate of the Anglo American
Nicaragua treaty, negotiated by Sec
rotary of State Hay and Ambassador
Pauncefote, centers on article l and
section of article 2. The former re-
quires that the United States shall pay
for the construction of the canal,
while the latter prohibits this nation
from fortifying the water way. The
text of these provisions follows:
Article lit is agreed that the can
al may be constructed under the aus
pieces of the government of the United
States, either directly at its own cost
or by gift or by loan of money to in
dividuals or corporations, or through
subscription to or purchase of stocks
or shares, and that, subject to the pro-
visions of the present convention, the
said government shall have and enjoy
all the rights incident to such con
struction, as well as the exclusive right
of providing for the regulation and
management of the canal.
Article 2, section mo fortifca-
tions shall be erected commanding the
canal or the waters adjacent The
United States, however, shall be at
liberty to maintain such military po-
lice along the canal as may be neces-
sary to protect it against lawlessness
and disorder.
In order thoroughly to insure the
naturalization of the canal, article 3
provides that ''the high contracting
parties will, Immediately after the ex-
change of the notifications of this con-
vention, bring it to the notice of the
other powers, and invite them to ad-
here to it." Ratification, article 4,
provides, shall be exchanged between
the United States and Great Britain
within six months.

LONDON, Feb. 12.-Military critics

London paper strongly hints that Bull

Lord Roberts. The government an
nouncement that in three weeks time
Lord Roberts will have 1914 900 men in

curiosity to unveil that closest official
secret, where this stupendous force is.
High authorities agree that Lord Rob-
erts, after safeguarding his communi-
cations, will have only from $4,000 to
10000 men for his northward march.
Estimates as to how many Beers he
will have to face are mere guesswork,

A BODY BLOW.

by senator Healy.
DIES MONIES, Feb. IA body blow
was aimed at the building and loan
associations of Iowa Saturday In
the introduction by Senator Healy of
a measure proposing to regulate the
business of these corporations. The
bill is the outgrowth Of the existing
sentiment that the building and loan
business of the state has much in
its methods savoring of injustice and
bordering on robbery, and is aimed
primarily at the alleged root Of the
whole evil, the method of making
fixed charges to defray the expenses o I
these corporations. 1t provides that
the expenses of the building and loa n
associations must be paid out of the
earnings of the association. striking
out the provision that fixed charges
may be made. The second object of
the bill is to remove the temptation
for keeping large number of high
salaried men on the pay rolls of these
associations, by providing that no
association shall have more than two
salaried officers, neither Of which shall
draw more than SO, 200 annually.
