VIEWS OF JOHN w. GRIGGs.
New Treaty Is i'm Line with the Poll
cies of the United States.

NEW YORK. Feb. 19.-Former Attorney
General John w. Griggs sees in the new
treaty between Great Britain and Japan
a great step toward the realization in the
far East of policies of which the United
States has been determined and notable
exponent, according to the Herald. He
said: This treaty is apparently a carry
ing out of the policy enunciated by Secre-
tary Hay in his note of July, 1900. 1t should
meet with approval in America, as it crys-
tallizes into actual practice those ideas for
which we have striven. 1t affects us only
favorably. and as apparently giving to US
just what we have wished, the open door,
should be welcomed here. There is on
its face no altrusistic move. Japan and
England say they have interests at stake,
and they announce that where there is a
coalition of powers against one the other
will join its ally in resistance, and that
they will mutually exert their influence in
peace TO aid each other The agreement
recites that they seek to obtain in China
and Korea equal opportunities for the
commerce of all nations, and therein is
distinctly our advantage. We hate long
stood for the open door While we MAJ
welcome also the provision concerning the
maintenance of the integrity of the Chi
nese empire which has been a steadfast OBJ
Ject or our policy, II Is not certain whether
Russia will look upon IL with equal favor.
l cannot tell how she will regard il, in
view of her Manchurian interests. Russia

and has been friendly to US in China. We
have nothing TO complain of in her treat
ment of our business interests in Man
churia or elsewhere. As she has constant
~ protested her intention 10 continue that
policy we have nothing especial 10 fear
THE treaty is in consonance with inter
national law, and is not unique, although
modern parallels of it are rare 1t has
often occurred that two countries have
agreed upon a policy Of mutual defense,
but fl has become more infrequent as gov
ernments in recent times have come 10 be

Comment of the Press.

LONDON, Feb. 1.-THE statement OF
Lord Cranborne. undersecretary for foreign
affairs, in the House of Commons, yester-
day, that the substance of the Anglo-Jap-
anese agreement was communicated 10 the
United States government before publica-
ton. has excited renewed discussions as to
the attitude of the United States
The Daily News this morning asks why
in the world the treaty should have been
previously communicated TO the United
States, since America, the embarrassed
owner of the Philippines. has no interests
in the far East comparable to those of
Great Britain and Japan.
The Daily Chronicle alludes to a SUCCESS
ton that ii was foreknowledge OF the treaty
that inspired the United States 10 encOur-
age China against the demands of Russia
This same question has been much dis
cussed in Vienna, where ii seems TO be
thought that Great Britain and Japan for
the alliance, and that Washington declined
to do so on the plea that il desired 10 keep
free hand. These speculatiOns are re-
Elective of the anxiety shown among the
European powers TO be on good terms with
the United States. Another point in the
discussion is the effect which Australian
legislation excluding Japanese emigrants
will have on the successful working OF the
agreement
A dispatch to the Daily Mail from Toxic
says that the new alliance evokes the
greatest enthusiasm on all sides The po-
liucal parties are giving banquets and the
students are organizing monster torch
light demonstration to be held before the
British legation. The whole object OF
the Nationalist party cables the CORE
spondent, was the maintenance OF the in
tegrity Of China. This party will dissolve
itself in an elaborate feast. now that its
work is ACCOMPLISHED

PRESBYTERIANS ADJOURN.
DIR. Roberts Again Says FataIism
Infant DamnatiOn Il Not Taught.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 13.-The Presby-
terrain revision committee adjourned to-day
after adopting Article of the brief state
ment Of faith for popular use, and Will
again meet in Washington on April 9. The
article adopted to-day touches on sin. and
it was productive of a protracted debate.
No time was left for further consideration
of Article III on eternal purpose which
had been partly reviewed at a previous
session.
DR.. William II. Roberts. the secretary OF
the committee. said to-day that the ses-
sions in this city were productive OF much
good and the discussions while spirited
were characterized always by fraternal
courtesy. In reply 10 a question as 10
whether there any indication OF a
minority report being submitted 10 the
General Assembly, DIR. Roberts said: The
three opinions in the matter OF revisiOnS
in the Presbyterian Church are representa-
in this church. The committee work up TO
the present has been accomplished without
any serious opposition, though there has
existed an ever-changing minority.
Whether a settled minority party viii de-
velOp before the committee completes its
work is a matter that no one can forecast
one way or the other. There is thing.
Church repudiates the charge that IL
teaches either fatalism or infant damna-
ton.

the Board of Health.

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 13.-Dr. Armand Ravold,
consulting city bacteriologist, and Henry
b. Taylor, janitor in the chemical and
ARCHAEOLOGICAL division of the Board of
Health, have been requested by Commits
sioner of Health Starkloff to sever their
connection with the health department as
a result OF the tetanus investigation for
the purpose of determining responsibility
for the distribution OF toxic anti-dipththe-
rite serum, which caused the deaths Of

last.
After reviewing the testimony of the
principal witnesses, the board decided that
Consulting BacteriolOgist Ravold was re-
sponsible for the preparation and distribu-
ton of the toxin serum; that the horse
Jim. which developed tetanus on Oct 2,
was bled by DR.. Ravold on Sept. %; that
DIR. Ravold was aware OF the poisonous
character of the serum, but failed to have
il destroyed: that some OF the toxic serum
was bottled and issued for use between
Oct 10 and %; that Janitor Taylor bottled
the toxic serum; that Taylor, though I'M
aware OF the poisonous character of the
serum, was guilty of reprehensible conduct
in giving conflicting testimony before the
tetanus court OF inquiry.

Satisfaction mt Yokohama.

YOKOHAMA, Feb. 13.-The press here
gives vent TO its unmiXed pleasure at the
conclusion of the agreement with Great
Britain which secures for Japan admission
to the comfy of great nations. The press
also recognizes that the agreement i'm
poses heavy responsibilities and that Japan
must not fall into the error OF supposing
that peace will be assured without further
effort
Several of the papers comment upon the
extra ordinary fact that the leading world
power abandons its policy of splendid iso-
lation openly to clasp hands with Japan.
The Nichnichi Shmbun says that the
union Of the strongest military power il

the world constitutes an invincible force
The Ashai Shimbun, an important paper

time removes Korea beyond the dangerous
contingencies involved in the evidences OF
Russian Willingness to sacrifice that cOun-
try upon the altar of her great ambition.

JAPAN'S EXPLANATION.
Statement OF the Minister for Foreign

Affairs i'm the House of Peers.
WASHINGTON, Feb. I3.-The japanese
minister. Mr.. Takahira. has received the
following cablegram from Toxic:
THE Anglo-Japanese agreement was an
nounced on the 18th inst. in the House OF
Peers by General vIscount Katsura. min
lister president, and in the House of Repre-
sentative by Mr.. Komaura, minister for
foreign affairs, with the following explana-
tons: In 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 con-
fdential relations with friendly powers
having common interests with our own
country, the imperial government entered
into negotiations with the British govern
ment last year for the purpose of attaining
that end. The two governments having
been happily brought into complete accord
upon the subject after extended negotia-
lions, and the imperial government having
obtained his Majesty's sanction, instructed
their plenipotentiaries to sign with the
British plenipotentiary at London on the
3Oth of January last agreement having
the above objects in view. This agreement
Is entirely pacific in purpose and has no
other object than the proper safeguarding
of the interests Of the neighboring empires
of China and Korea. Considering that the
principles of territorial integrity and the
open door have been voluntarily declared
and approved by all Of the powers con-
cerned, it is our belief that the present
agreement will not be regarded in an I'M
favorable light by any of the powers.

day and has created a profound sensation
Those British and japanese residents of

clause of the alliance which contemplates
possible intervention in the event OF in
