ANGLO-J JAPANESE TRAEATY
Continued from First Page.)

| (COntlnued rom FllSt Page.) | They must not be sWayed by old-fash-
 toned superstitions in regard to isola- l ton. but must consider whether the ob-
 jects of the alliance are conmendable; 1 whether the price is too great If these | questions are satisfactorily answered, then an alliance was a good thing. There was much greater danger in leaving great questions of international
 policy to a vague, nasty understanding than in embodying them explicitly in an agreement the purpose of which can be
 understood. Great Britain desired to
 protect Japan against which she con- ceived to be the gravest peril that might menace her, namely, a coalition
 of the powers against her. The agree
 ment would compel Great Britain to
 come to the rescue of a friendly coun- try whose obliteration, by coalition of -the powers, Great Britain could not, under any circumstances, tolerate. The
 treaty was not connected with the gov ernments decision regarding Wei-Hai
 Wei. But the maintenance of the in- dependence of Japan and the protec- ton of Corea were of the utmost inn portance to Great Britain as well as Japan.
 Lord Rosebery expressed general ap proval of the treaty. He said that the effect of the treaty would be felt in a great many capitals of Europe and in the rest of the civilized world.
 Vienna, Feb. 13.-The Anglo-Japan- ese treaty of alliance is the feature of to-days news in the Austrian news papers, and Russia's probable action is widely discussed. The general opinion among those who are in touch with Russian views is that he militant Mus covites will endeavor to revenge them- selves by stirring up disorders in Af- ghanistan, while the Russian govern ment will await the moment when Ja- pan, having organized the military forces of China, will join hands with the latter and drive out all Europeans, with the exception of the Russians, who by that time will occupy an impregna- ble position in Manchuria. Some of the papers affect to see in the publication of the treaty, at the time when Admiral Prince Henry Of Prussia IS starting Tor the United States Great Britain's re- ply to Germany's rapprochement with the United States"

when the necessary measures shall | have been taken to safeguard the rail way, the construction of which has ! been guaranteed by formal agreement
 with China, in connection with the con
 cession granted to the Eastern Railway f Chinese company, Russia will not fail
 to withdraw her troops from within the
 boundaries of the adjacent empire; pro
 vided, however, that the action of other
 powers shall not stand in the way. | The question at issue is whether this proviso may be regarded by Russia as having been violated by the making of the new treaty, thus justifying her in
 remaining ill Manchuria. The answer to that question is expected soon, and Tn
 the shape of a response to MT. Tower at St. Petersburg in connection with his protest against the Russo-Chinese Bank agreement.
 Washington, Feb. 13-The Japanese minister, MT. Takahira, has received the following cabegram from Tokto:
 The Anglo-Japanese agreement was announced on the 18th inst. in the house of peers by General Viscount Katsura, minister president, and in the house of representatives by MT. Ko- mura, minister for foreign affairs, with the following explanations:
 Tn view of the actual situation in the far east and the interests of the en- pire involved therein and recognizing the desirability of establishing close and confidential relations with friendly powers having common interests with our own country the imperial govern ment entered into negotiations with the British government last year for the purpose of attaining that end The two governments. having been happily brought into complete accord upon the subject after extended negoti iations and the imperial government having obtain ed his majestys sanction, instructed their plenipotentiary to sign with the British plenipotentiary at London on the 30th of January last, an agreement having the above objects in view.
 This agreement is entirely pacific in purpose and has no other object than the proper safeguard of the interests of the neighboring empires of China and Corea.
 Considering that the principles of territorial integrity and the open door have been voluntarily declared and ap- proved by all of the powers concerned, it is our belief that the present agree ment will not be regarded in an unfa- vorable light by any of the powers. It was stated at the Russian embassy that the purposes set forth in the Brit agreement as to the pre- servation of the integrity of the Chi nese empire are in harmony with those of the Russian government. which has contended for that princi- pie.

star very perfectly, bringing it to fo-
 GUS sevesnteen and one-half feet from
 the surface of the mirror. If an eye-
 piece were placed at this point the inn 1 age of the star could be observed
 Such, however, will not be the construc-
 tiOn of this telescope. Tn the axis of
 the tube, at a distance of four feet be-
 low the focal point, where the diameter
 of the beam of light is still nine and 1 one-half inches, a convex silver-on-
 glass mirror will be placed. This will turn the ray backward through the hole
 in the center of the great mirror, and
 these rays will come to a focus eighteen
 inches below the refecting surface of
 the great mirror. This point is thirteen inches below the lower end of the great tube.
 | A thoroughly modern photographic spectroscope is under construction and nearly comDleted at the Lick Ohserva- tory. This spectroscope will be so at- tached to the lower end of the great tube that the light from the star will enter the spectroscope,
 The light passes through the tele- scopes and prisms making up the spec troscope and falls upon photographic plate suitably placed. The photographs obtained will enable observers to deter mine the motions of the individual stars observed, and more important still, the results for the stars observed will be so combined with the results for the north ern hemisphere obtained at Mount Hamilton, that they will be able to de- termine from the data the motion of our sola system through space. The tele- scope will be moved by clockWork to fel- low the star.
 As soon as the mirrors have been completed the apparatus will be assem- bled on Mount Hamilton for testing. It will then be carefully packed and shipped to Chile, where an observing station will be selected with great care, probably in the vicinity of Santiago or on the summit of the range of noun tains lying between Santiago and Val paraiso
 Director w. w Campbell of Lick Ob- servatory will go to Chile to select the station, to install the apparatus and to make sure that everything is in order. The work thereafter will be in charge of Professor William H. Wright. who, with | one or more assistants, will be engaged for two or three years in observing a | list of stars distributed as uniformly as possible over the region lying within | sixty degrees of the South Pole.-San | Francisco Chronicle

THE SOLAR SYSTEM, S MOTION

Preparations to Study it by Observing l the Apparent Motion of Stars.
 The mounting of large refecting 1 telescope for the Lick Observatory has l just been completed. This telescope is
 noteworthy as when the mirrors are l completed it will be shipped to Chile for i use in observing the movements of stars i in the southern hemisphere.
 i The great thirty-six-inch refracting | telescope of the Lick Observatory has | been in use three nights week since 1896 in connection with a photographic | spectroscope presented to the Lick Ob- servatory by D. 0. Mills for determining
 the motion of the stars to and from the observer. One star is moving in this di-
 rectioi, another in that some with a ye
 locity almost zero, others with veloci-
 ties as great as sixty miles a second to-
 ward and others with velocities of six ty miles a second away from the solar
 system. If a star is moving at right
 angles to the line of sight, it's motion
 in few years can be detected by the
 usual telescopic methods; but the solar
 system must be measured by means of
 the spectroscope.
 The velocities of stars are measured
 at the Lick Observatory, not from q
 great interest in the motion of each star, but that the results may be com
 bined for many years, and therefrom the motion of our own solar system through space may be determined. For this purpose, it is highly desirable that observations be secured of as many stars as possible, and that they be ob- served over the entire sky. From the Lick Observatory one can observe stars situated between the north pole and circle thirty degrees south of the equa- tor, but the stars from thirty degrees south on to the south pole cannot be observed from there.
 It is therefore highly desirable that powerful telescope be located in the southern hemisphere in order to extend the work to the south pole. Tn Novem- Der, 1900, pr. Campbell called the atten- tion of D. o. Mills to the desirability of providing such an observatory in the southern hemisphere, and he gave sum of money to construct the tele- scope, spectroscope, a dome to cover them, to defray the expense of install 1 ing the observatory in the southern hemisphere, and to pay the salaries of , the astronomers employed.
 As the investigations are to be made ! entirely by photography, it is more ad- i vantageOus to make use of refecting | telescope than of refractor Dr. | Campbell intrusted the task of con- stCuCting the mounting for the thirty seven inch refracting telescope to the Parke & Lacy company of San Francis co.
 The John A. Brashear company of AL legheny, Pa, are constructing the mir TOTS to be used in the telescope mount ing. The principal mirror, to be placed 1 in the lower end of the great tube, will ! be of glass, thirty-siX and three-faurth | inches in diameter, with a. hole five inches in diameter in its center. The thickness of the mirror will be four and 1ne-half inches. las upper surface will ! De ground to q parabolic form of great perfection and covered with a thin de- 1osit of silver. When this silver is polished it will reflect the light from
