AneIo-Japanese Treaty.

Lord Lansdowne, foreign secretary,
in the house OF lords, made similar
reply on the subject of the new dual
alliance to the one made in the house
of commons by the under secretary,
Lord Cranborne. The object of the
alliance was three-fold-the mainten-
ance of the status quo, the policy of
the open door and the maintenance of
peace in the Far East. No other
powers interests in the Far East were
at all comparable with those of Great
Britain and Japan.
Great Britain desired to protect
Japan against what she conceived to
be the gravest peril that might men
ace her. namely a coalition of the
powers against her. The agreement
would compel Great Britain to come to
the rescue Of a friendly country whose
obliteration by coalition of the pow
ers Great Britain could not under any
circumstances tolerate. The treaty
was not connected with the govern
ment's decision regarding Wei-Hai-
Wei. But the maintenance of the in.
dependence of Japan and the protec-
tion of Corea were Of the utmost i'm
portanco to Great Britain as well as
Japan. ........
Lord Rosebery expressed approval
Of the treaty. He said the effect Of
the treaty would be felt in a great
part of Europe and in the rest of the
civilized world

NAVAL CONSTRUCTOR HoBsoN.
President Recommends That He Be
Placed On the Retired List

HIdCGQ On lnC nCllTCu GlSh
Washington Feb. 1S.-The president
has sent to the senate a message
recommending the retirement of Naval
Constructor Richard P. Hobson, and
in accordance with this recommen-
dation Senator Gallinger Immediately
introduced a bill providing for Mr..
Hobson's tranfer to the retired list.
In his message the president gives as
his reason the trouble that Mr. Hobson
has had since 1900 with his eyes and
recites the history Of that trouble. 1t
appears that in June, 1900, he was ad'
mitted to the naval hospital at
Yokohama. Japan, when, according TO
the records, he suffered from weak
ness of eyes and retinits, which in
firmities it was stated had been con-
tracted while on duty in repairing
ships at Hong Kong. In January 1902,
he was examined by a retiring board
which decided that his incapacity was
not such as to justify retirement. The
message concludes as follows:
"In consideration of the foregoing
but especially of the gallent service
rendered by Mr.. Hobson in the sink
ing of the Merrimac in the harbor Of
Santiago during the recent war with
Spain. I recommend the enactment of
a suitable measure for his relief"

HOTEL LOBBY GLEANINGS

FORGOT THE LICENSE.
He Had Left 1t at a south side Drug
Store-StOries by Hotel
Guests.

1.-The best story I've heard this week and
in fact for a long time" said an Indianap-
oils insurance man. lighting a fresh cigar
and assuming easier position in a com
Portable hotel lobby chair, relates to
something that happened to my friend,
Walter Bond, who is one of the popular
young business men of this city. You know
the society columns of the newspapers this
week contained an announcement of the
marriage of Mr.. Bond and Miss Alice How
land, whose home is at Rowland Station,
several miles north of the city. In the
afternoon of the evening of the wedding
Bond went to the clerks office and pre-
pared himself with the marriage license.
BY some peculiar process of reasoning
am not prepared to say what-he seemed
TO have the idea that a marriage license
was something like a building permit, an
article that IL was necessary to have in
ones possession, but was not necessary
to have on ones person at all times. Ac-
cordingly he forgot all about the license.
That evening, after making an elaborate
toilet, Bond presented himself at the house
Of the bride, where the guests were gath
ering for the ceremony, which was to be
performed promptly at s. few minutes
before this hour the minister called Bond
aside and requested that he be shown the
license, explaining that it was a mere for
mality. License, exclaimed Bond in
surprised tone. 'why-why-I didn't bring
any license. The minister also seemed sur
prised and explained that license would
be necessary before he could perform the
marriage. Well, you can imagine that dis
tress was pictured in every line of the
young mans face. Two or three men vol
unteered TO come to the city and search
for the license, Offering themselves en- the
theory that the document was in Bonds
room. The young man, however, concluded
that they would be unable TO find Ii, and
decided he would come to the city himself
He did so, but on searching the room could
not find the necessary paper. Finally 1T
occurred TO him that he had visited a drug
store far out on the South Side that aft
ternoon, and he wondered if he could have
left the license there. He hurried TO the
drug store and was one of the happiest of
men when the druggist handed him the
missing document. He hurried back to the
brides home, arriving there about 10
o'clock, and the wedding ceremony then
proceeded"
