restraining order that prevented the
board of fire and police from trying Fire
Chief Redell for alleged mistreatment

Washington and London.
Comment of Press.
The Compact Exactly in Line
With the Policy of United
States.

London. Feb. 12.-The Liberal after
noon newspapers view the alliance De-
tween Great Britain and Japan with
mixed feelings and the conservative
organs generally applaud.
st. James Gazette CONSERVATIVE
expresses modified rapture at this
wide departure from British tradition
n policy, but finds solace IN the
thought that the policy and interests
Of the United States are identical with
those of Great Britain and Japan and
concludes: Perhaps we shall find
when the policy of Great Britain is
definitely known. that the United
States is formally or informally party
TO the league Of peace in the far east,
AT any rate no effort should be spared
TO secure its adhesion" Baron Hay
ashi. Japanese minister here, who
signed the treaty in behalf OF Japan,
in an interview. published today, de-
clared the Anglo Japanese treaty was
not directed specially against Rus
sia, but undoubtedly Manchuria was
within its scope. It was solely meant
TO maintain the status quo. The Man
churian question, however. was at
present the subject of negotiation be-
tween Russia and the United States,
representing the interests of all other
powers and. as the minister trusted,
the negotiations would bring about
state of affairs In Manchuria which
would not be prejudical to other pow
ers, 1t was unnecessary to prematurely
discuss that question. The present
treaty has no coll8terAls in the shape
of treaties between Japan and other
powers. but 1t does not exclude the
possibility OF similar treaty between
Japan and Russia, of course with the
full knowledge of Great Britain.
London, Feb. 12.-Great Britain and
Japan have joined in an offensive and
defensive alliance for the maintenance
Of the status quo in China and Korea
That this new dual alliance, the first
of its kind affecting the far east. is
aimed at Russia, Is boyend question.
It Is the answer of the king and the
nikado to the unmasking of cxar and
the revelation of his determination to
maintain possession of Manchuria.
This important parliamentary paper
was issued last night, 1t gives the terms
OF alliance between England and Japan
for the preservation of China and Ko-
rea. The paper covers the dispatch
sent by Lord Lansdowne, secretary of
state for foreign affairs. January 80. to
the British minister at Tokyo, and
comprises a signed copy OF the agree
ment.
In the explanation, the paper says the
agreement may be regarded as the out
come OF events during the past two
years.
Thruout the Boxer troubles Great
Britain and Japan have been in close
and uninterrupted communication and
actuated by similar views.

HAS UNITED STATES APPROVAL.
The New Treaty Of Japan and Britain
in Line With American Policy.

=
in Line With American Policy.
Washington, Feb. 12.-Mr. Takahira,
Japanese minister to Washington today
called at the state department and no.
titled Secretary Hay of the signature
OF treaty between Great Britain and
Japan, made public yesterday in Eng
land. binding the two nations to joint
action to maintain the integrity of Chi
ma and Corea, Assent of the United
States was not necessary to this agree
ment, but If it We're 1t probably would
not be withheld, for 1t is pointed out the
treaty Is precisely in line with the aims
of the state department., as fully dis
closed in notes published by it from
time to time. 1t Is again stated there
has been no joint action as between
the United States and the two named,
yet 1t is fact that the preamble to the
new treaty might be regarded as al
most paraphrase of the position of the
United States toward the Manchurian
question, as enunciated in Secretary
Hays note to the Russian ambassador
here. 1t is made very clear here by off,
cial statements that the purposes of the
United States all relate to the COM
mercial and Industrial phases Of the
Manchurian question. With the politi-
cal phase we have little concern. The
sovereignty of Russia or China over
Manchuria would be to us an immaterial
issue so long as American ships are free
to sail into Manchurian ports on even
terms with Russian ships; so long as
American products may be entered in
Manchuria at the same tariff rates as
Russian; so long as American railroad
and mining projectors may operate in
Manchuria as freely as those of any
other nation. In other words the United
states is contending for the open door"
in Manchuria and it recognizes in this
new treaty a valuable support in its
contention. 1t is understood the Jap
anese minister and British and Russian
ambassadors here are fully acquainted
with this attitude of the United States.
