Japan Preparing to Give an Exhibition
OF Naval Maneuvering.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 16.-Adyices
from Yokohama to January 81. are as
follows:
The coming naval maneuvers OF the
Japanese fleet are attracting great IN
terest. The display Of Japan's in
creased naval power which will make
most imposing spectacle undoubtedly
tends to increase the war spirit of the
nation.
Much interest Is taken in the enor-
nous emigration TO the Hawaiian ISL
ands. More than $4,000 contract labor
ers and 1900 free emigrants have left
between May and December OF last
year. This large increase is said To
have resulted from the laXity with
which the immigration laws have been
administered by the Hawaiian authOri-
ties. Ii is probable that owing to re-
ports of trouble given to Honolulu by
the large number Of Japanese loafers
something viii be done TO check the
tide Of immigration.
The news of the court intrigues in
China excite the liveliest interest. The
relation between the japanese govern
ment and the empress dowager's re-
gime are undoubtedly Of an intimate
character and something of the nature
OF an accord OF the two governments
causes all movements among the celes-
tials to be regarded with the liveliest
concern.

THOSE ALLIANCE ovERTUREs,
Administration Officials Cannot Under
stand Rosebery's Statements.

NEW YORK, Feb. ia special ID
the Herald from Washington says:
Administration officials are circum.
spect in discussing the statement made
by Lord Rosebery that Great Britain
in December approached the United
States and Germany in regard to the
advisability OF forming an alliance.
II is understood. however. that In
timations were conveyed to this gov
ernment by the British authorities OF
their desire that the relations between
the TWO governments should be closer
and in the nature Of pact. but the ad-
ministration turned a deaf car and
made il plain that the United States
could not abandon its policy Of non en-
tanglsment in European affairs. II is
stated that the overtures We're not in
the form OF formal suggestions. but
even il they had been it is unlikely that
they would have met with a cordial
response from the president.
Considerable curiosity has been
awakened as to Lord Rose bery's reason
for making public the fact Of Great
Rritain's desire to enter into an alliance
with the United States and Germany
and the steps she took TO that end. It
is thought by some TO be in answer
TO Mr.. Macrum's statement that he
did not know that an alliance existed
between the United States an Great
Britain" and TO dispose of the charges
made by the anu-administration politi-
clans that such an alliance does in fact
exist
The suggestion that such a statement
be made certainly did not come from
Washington.

THE BIG TELEGRAPH SUIT is
DRAWING TO A
CLOSE
CASE FOR THE NORTHWESTERN
Col. Ripley Addressed the Court for
the Greater Part of Yesterdays
Sitting-An Appeal
Probable.

The big telegraph suit which is being
heard by Judge Lochren at the federal
building, is drawing to a close. Yester-
day the case for the defendant con-
panies was practically closed. The argu-
ment for the Northwestern company was
made by Col. George C. Ripley, of Min
neapolis, who occupied the floor for the
greater part of the day.
He argued as to the conditions existing
to the Western Union company He said
that at that time the North
western had pushed its branches west
from Milwaukee and was the owner of
all the telegraph lines then existing in
Minnesota. The Northwestern started
with the highway system for rights of
way. The two companies, telegraph and
railway, were in their infancy. Both
needed permanent locations. The rail-
way had already acquired a right Of
way from the government. The tele-
graph company was seeking one, sub
stantial and permanent. 1t must be set
tied corporeal easement in reality, else
the property would be nothing but decay
ing poles and rusted wires.
A consultation between the railway and
telegraph companies resulted in a con-
tract. by which the railway company
agreed to build and keep in repair line
Oh IGI6SIdpu 81 raul 10 IVY dIdU-
The relations between the telegraph
and railway companies by the Farley
contract were made more definite, but
the fundamental right of the telegraph
company in its right of way was not chal-
lenged. This right of way belonged to
the telegraph company, and constructed,
not on railroad land, but on the telegraph
company's land. The foreclosure pro-
ceedings in no wise affected the right Of
the telegraph company.
When the st. Paul & Pacific passed
into the hands of the Manitoba company,
another contract-eontract A-was made,
identical almost in every feature with
that of the Farley contract. There were
some notifications to meet changed con-
ditions, but nothing that would impair
the ownership Of the Northwestern
right of way and property. The Con-
tracts of SO, '7S, '79 varied little in es-
sentials. The changes noted in contract
A were as to exclusiveness and advance
in the cost for free service.
Judge G. 2. Dillon, appearing for the
Western Union company, was concluding
his argument when the court adjourned
for the day.
1t is expected that counsel will finish
today. In the event of the telegraph
companies losing the suit, it is under-
stood that the case will be appealed to
as far as the supreme court of the
United States.

ON GROUND OF. CRUELTY.
Mrs. Anna Dickson Will Probably
Secure n Divorce,

Secure a Divorce.
Judge Jaggard, in the district court,
spent all day yesterday hearing testi-
mony in the divorce case of Anna Dick
son against Peter Dickson.
If things are as bad in either one way
or another, as both the plaintiff and de-
PENDANT claimed on the witness stand,
the married life of these two must have
been one of thorns.
The evidence on both sides was all in
when court adjourned yesterday after
noon. 1t was animated by the court that
on account of condonation,. the only
thing before the court was cruelty, and
that however small the provocation of
the defendant may have been, it did in
the eyes of the law justify the force
and violence used by him on the person
of the plaintiff. The court also intimated
that he would grant the divorce on the
ground of cruelty. but that the custody
of the children would be. given to the
father, as the testimony went to show
that the mother was not exactly the
proper person to care for them. There
are three small children and they will
be brought into court this morning.
When placed on the stand yesterday
Dickson denied the allegations of the
plaintiff, and claimed that his wife used
to get drunk and behave improperly.
