THE TREATY.

London, Feb. 13.-The Pail Mall
Gazette says the London correspond
ent of the Neues Wiener Tageblatt,
of Vienna had an interview on the al
lance between Japan and England
with Baron Hayashi the Japanese min
lister to Great Britain. Baron Haya-
shi siad
1.-THE treaty is the outcome of ne
| cessity. 1t is eminently peaceful in
its objects and is solely meant to pro-
tect the status quo in China against
aggressive designs of any power. 1t
is not directed especially against Rus
STA, but undoubtedly has reference to
Manchuria, for Manchuria is still
Chinese territory, and the agreement
covers the whole of China without ex-
ception. -
Asked if the treaty had any collat-
erals in the shape of treaties between
Japan and other powers Baron Haya-
shi said no. A secret understanding
between Japan and Russia similar to
the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES into
which Germany entered at the time
she signed the treaties with Austria
and Italy on which the triple alliance
was based was impossible. 1t was dis
tinctly excluded by clause of the
present agreement. Baron Hayashi is
enthusiastic over the agreement. He
feels sure that it will be enormously
popular in Japan, where it will be
read in Parliament today.
Berlin, Feb. 13-A high German
official stated this morning that should
the United States support the Anglo
Japanese alliance, Germany's posi-
ton would be difficult and it is hop
ed that Prince Henry visit will lead
America to continue to maintain her
neutral and friendly position toward
Germany. Germany is jubiIant over
the recent publication of the Spanish
war correspondence. 1t is claimed it
places Lord Paunecfote in an embar-
RAISING position.
Berlin, Feb. l3. Your correspond
ent learns semi officially that Germany
and the United States We're invited to
join the Anglo German alliance, but
Germany refused in order to keep her
hands free The east Asian triple al
lance between Germany, Russia and
France has ceased to exist.

pleasant social features of the season.
one OF the most enjoyable of these occas-
slons was that in the vestry of the Church
OF the Messiah on Thursday afternoon by
the literary branch t the Womans ALI
auce. The guests were received by Mrs.
Roswell X Peck and Mrs Collins Blaliely.
The program consisted of piano selec

Mrs \. ii Temple, after which drama
The First Time, was read by several
ladies, followed by another solo by Mis-.

Dainty tea tables, decorated with can

was a firm believer in the principle Of
the individuals right TO self govern
ment and that we were in honor bound
to give it to the Cubans 50 soon as
they are capable of it, He likened
the condition of the Cubans to that of
a young man entering large bust
ness establishments. Responsibilities
are imposed upon him as soon as he
proves he is capable of sustaining
them. He believes that reciprocal
attitude toward the Cubans is the best
thing for them and also for this coun-
try. They are our near neighbors and
an interchange of commerce would
bring prosperity to them and us-and
prosperity always brings self-govern-
ment. This is demonstrated in the
rapid growth of our western States,
especially along the Mississippi val
ley. a few settlers came, more came,
and they began to thrive, and finally
these sections were knocking at the
doors of Congress for statehood and
got it. These states are now the bull
warks of the nation.

We heard man say the other morning
that the abbrebiation for February Feb.-
means FREEZE EVERY BODY and that man
looked frozen in his ulster. II was appar-
ent that he needed the kind of warmth
head to foot, all over the body. We could
have told him from personal knowledge
that Hoods Sarsaparilla gives permanent
warmth, il invigorates the blood and
speeds il along through artery and vein,
and really fits men and women, boys aud
girls, TO enjoy cold weather and resist the
attacks of disease. 1t gives the right kind
of warmth, stimulates and strengthens at
the same time. and all its benefits are last
ing. There may be suggestion in this
for you.

Aching Joints

In the fingers, toes, arms, and other
parts of the body, are joints that are
innamed and swollen by rheumatism--
that acid condition of the blood which
affects the muscles also.
Sufferers dread TO move, especially
after sitting or lying long, and their
condition is commonly worse in wet
weather.
ut has been a long time since we have
been without Hoods Sarsaparilla. My
father thinks he could not do without 1t.

Rheumatism supports half the doc
tors in christendom, but it would dis
appear if every sufferer understood how
surely it is cured by DR.. Greenes Ner-
vura blood and nerve remedy.
Don't think because nothing has
yet cured your rheumatism that DR..
Greene's Nervura won't do it, for it
will if you give it chance. You'll pay
almost any sum to be rid of the trouble,
but you can get rid of it at little cost.
Start to-day using the medicine that is
known to cure rheumatism, and that
has been curing it for many years.

finally the annoyance and suffering at
tendant with urinary disorders, reten-

OF 1t. At any stage you should take a
remedy that will not only relieve but
cure you. Read the following and

FOR A GREATER NAVY.
President Says It's Necessary to Us as
World Power.

The speech delivered at LoganspOrt by
President Roosevelt was the one he vas
TO have given in Milwaukee. On learn
ing that he would have to go to hos
pital and abandon his tour he concluded
to use the speech prepared for the Cream
City. 1t is in part as follows:
The question of combining such fiXednrss
of economic policy as regards the tariff,
while at the same time allowing for neceS
sary and proper readjustment of duties IN
particular schedules, as such REIMBURSEMENT
becomes a matter of pressing Importance,
is not an easy one.
1t is perhaps too much to expect that from
the discussion of such a question 1t would
be possible wholly to eliminate political par
tisanship. Yet those who believe, as we all
must when we think seriously of the sub
ject, that the proper aim of the party SyS-
TEN is after ali simply to subserve the pub
lie good cannot but hope that where such
partiSanShip on Il matter OF TINS klnd con
f1icts with the public good, 1t shall at least
be minimized What we really need in this
country is to treat the tariff as business
proposition not from the standpoint of the
temporary needs of any political party.
1t surely ought not to be necessary to
dwell upon the extreme unwisdom, from a
business standpoint, from the standpoint OF
national prosperity, Of violent and radical
tariff changes amounting to the direct up
setting of tariff policies at Intervals OF every
few years.
1t is on every account most earnestly to
be hoped that this problem can be solved in
some manner into which partisanship shall
enter as purely secondary consideration,
If at all; that is, in some manner which
will provide for an earnest effort by non
partisan inquiry and action to secure any
changes the need of which is Indicated by
the effect to issue from a given rate Of duty
on given article; its effect, if any, as re-
CARDS the creation of u substantial monop-
oily; its effect upon domestic prices, upon
the revenue of the government upon i'm
portations from abroad, upon home produc-
ton and upon consumption.
In his speech at Tomlinson Hall, In
dianapolis. the President said in part:
AS result of the Spanish war we took
