CARRIES OUT OUR POLICY.
New AnsIo-Japanese Treaty Should
Meet American Approval.


New York, Feb. 14-Former Attor-
ney 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
a determined and notable exponent,
according to The Herald. He said:
This treaty is apparently carry
ing out Of the policy enunciated by
Secretary Hay in his note of July,
1900. It should meet with approval in
America as it crystallizes into ac-
tual practice those ideas for which we
have striven It affects us only favor
able, and, as apparently giving to us
just what we have wished, the open
door" should be welcomed here.
This is on its face no altruistic
move Japan and England say that
they have interests at stake and they
announce that where there is a coali-
tion of powers against one, the other
will join its ally in resistance and that
they will mutually exert their infu-
ence in peace to aid each other The
agreement recites that they seek to
obtain in China and Korea equal op-
portunities for the commerce of all
nations and therein it is distinctly to
our advantage. We have long stood
for the open door,

POWERFUL HEADLIGHT USED.
Device to Minimize Danger of Rail-.
road Collisions.

Chicago, Feb. 14.-A practical dem
,nstration of the utility of new de-
oarture which, it is claimed by rail-
way officials, will effectively prove the
solution, in a large degree, of the rail-
way collision problem, was made dur
ng the night on the Chicago, Milwau-
kee and st. Paul railway near here.
The device consists of an exceedingly
powerful headlight which not only per-.
ectly illuminates the track with an
intensely brilliant shaft of light for a
distance of a mile, but also embraces
the striking and novel feature of a
beam of light of almost equal bril-
iancMpenetrating over 700 feet above,
Rhich can be clearly seen 10 miles dis
ant. It is thereby possible for ap-
preaching trains to absolutely locate
each other by this verticle shaft Of
light, though miles apart, and it is this
'eature which railroad officials claim
win eliminate the possibility of col.
ision. This vertical beam will, in a
lilly country especially, where curves
n the track are numerous, so positive
y fix the location Of trains that moth
ng but carelessness on the part of the
anginemen will permit collision.
The apparatus consists of a power.
tul electric arc headlight, a dynamo
and steam motor, all of which occupy
he space on the locomotive usually
devoted to the headlight. The dyDa.
no which generates the current for
his veritable searchlight occupies a
space Of less than Is inches wide, di.
rectly behind the headlight, and is op.
Grated by motor driven by steam i'm.
pact on a turbin wheel. The current
Is 5000 candle power, which can be
reduced to any degree of brilliancy al

REPORTS OF OFFICERS READ.
Second Days Session of Woman Suf-
fraue Convention,

Washington, Feb 14.-When the
American Woman Suffrage convention
convened for the second days session
the attendance was quite large, not
withstanding intensely cold weather.
President Gait called the delegates to
order. Reports from the committee
on credentials, board of auditors, cor
responding secretary and treasurer
were read and approved. 's1='2EE.2
Susan B. Anthony at this point
stated that she had a little scheme for
getting some money out of Uncle Sam.
It was that when Mrs. Gait spoke be-
fore the committees of congress on
Tuesday of next week that she should
deliver a portion of her annual ad-
dress and then ask leave to print. :" y.
By this means, she said, the govern
ment will print the entire speech and
it can be sent under governmental
frank to every state of the Union.
Henry B. Blackwell, chairman of the
committee on presidential suffrage,
urged every woman in every state to
petition their legislature asking for
the right to vote for presidential
electors. .-

BEFORE BRITISH PARuhENT
This Country Notified Of Substance Of
Anglo-Japanese Treaty Of Al
lance. ESa
British Foreign Secretary Says the
Alliance is for the Maintainence
Of Status Quo.
According to the Treaty Manchuria
Must Remain an Integral Part
Of China.

London, Feb. 1.-THE par1iamen
ary secretary of foreign affairs, Lord
Jranborne, replying, II the house of +
commons, to Henry Norman (Libera1)
who asked whether the Anglo-Japan-
sse treaty of alliance was communicat-
ID to the United States government
before it's text was published and it SO
whether the government of the Unit
I'd States expressed any opinion there
On, said the substance of the agree
ment was commune to the Unit
I'd States government before publica-
ton. The United States did not ex-
press any opinion on the subject.
Lord Cranborne added the informa-i
Hon that Manchuria was no more ex-
cluded from the scope of the agree
ment than any other province of the
Chinese empire.
The substance of the agreement,
Lord Cranborne said, was also COM
municated to Germany.
Mr.. Norman subsequently moved an
adjournment in order to discuss the
treaty.
Mr.. Norman said he objected to An
l.
that it was evidently an anti ti-Russian
threat and that it tied Great Britain
| to the heels Of Japanss policy in such
| a way that she might be forced to go
to war against her own interests.
Lord Cranborne explained that the
contracting parties We're only bound
to undertake mutual defense of their
interests when the danger was due to

er called upon to help the other must
Judge whether the conditions of the
treaty had been observed.
The government leader, A. ]. Bal
four, said there seemed to be an i'm
1 preston that something hostile to
peace was Behind the agreement.
That was not SO. The treaty was not
based on secret information of i'm
pending dangers, but on the broad
facts of British interests. The treaty
made strongly .or peace, because the
most adventurous nation would shrink
from attacking Japan with the knowl-
edge that Great Britain would also
have to be encountered. The treaty
was not unfriendly to other nations.
It would, Mr.. Ba1four hoped. have a
SOLDERING effect on the Continental
schools of thought, which imperilled
the worlds peace.
The foreign secretary, Lord Lans-
| downe, in the house of lords, made a
similar reply on the subject Of the
new dual alliance to the one made in
the house of commons by Lord Gran
borne. Lord Lansdowne added that
nothing in the agreement did violence
to the accepted policy of the other
powers. So far as the treaty concern
ed the integrity of China Manchuria
must be taken as forming part Of the
Chinese empire. The object of the
alliance was three-fold- mainte-
nance of the status quo, the policy of
the open door and the maintenance Of
peace in the Far East

their mines at Chandler, near this
city. eliminated in an attack on Jap.
anese miners who had taken the
places of the strikers and the demoli-

fair occurred after a meeting of strik-

Relief 10 soutt, Dakota settlers.

Washing ngton, Feb. II. The house

ed a favorable report on the bill in
troduced by Representativ Burke af.
fecting commuters on the Sioux reser-
walton in South Dakota. It affords re-
lief to settlers who made entries be-
tween March, 1899, and jan 26, 1900.
In the case in question the interior
department held that settlers would
be required to pay $1.25 an acre in ad.

SCHOONER IN DISTRESS.
Lifesaving Crew Goes to the Assist
ance of the Vessel.

Cape May, N. j., Feb. 14.-An un-
known 2-masted schooner is in dis
tress about five miles off this city.
The schooner is flying signals in her
rigging but they cannot be read from
here. The crew of the Cold Springs
lifesaving station has gone to the res
cue.
The schooner's boom is broken of
and some of her forerigging is gone.
She is evidently in a sinking condi-
ton. A yawl boat is alongside and it
is thought it has been launched by the
crew in order to save themselves in
case the lifeguards are unable to reach
them. A gale is blowing along the
coast. greatly handicapping the life
savers who are on the way to the dis
tressed vessel.

TEEEGRAPHIc MARKET Z LETTER

Minneapolis, Feb. On better
cables wheat opened but steady. The
weather moderated over night and
considerable snow fell over the win
ter wheat belt. Yesterdays buyers
in converting holdings into profits
started the market downward where
it met below 75c with good support
The northwest received but $50 cars

side with other commission houses ac-
cepting all offerings readily. We
fail to see anyt thing in the short side
OF anything and on the other hand on
the soft spots. believe that purchases
should be made and held.
Corn was somewhat depressed by
the profit taking IN wheat although
cables were better. Possibly the
weakness was more due to the fact
that the past two weeks record was
{, broken by getting il one car Of con-
tract grade. at the primary points
there was Just I 600 bushels more re-
ceiVed than shipped being 90, 900
bushels this week against 1876, 900 last

moment any renewed buying.

INDUSTRIAL JOTTINGS.
To Spend $3,O0O,OOO.

The work of removing the blocks of
old buildings that stand in the new
right of way of the Delaware, Lacka-
wanna and Western in Newark, n. j.,
has begun and within few weeks the
construction of the elevated roadbed
Will be under way. The Lackawann
company will spend about $4,000, 900 in
elevating it's tracks through Newark,
and it is expected that three years will
be required to complete the work.
Within the next few months the Penn
sylvania and the Jersey Central roads
will have finished the elevation Of their
tracks, and when the Lackawanna i'm,
provement is accomplished there will
be no grade crossings to speak of in
Newark.
The length OF the Lackawanna road
within Newark is one mile, but the
elevation of the tracks will begin some
distance outside of the city limits. A
sharp curve in the road at this point
will be removed and important changes
will be made in the Newark stations.
AT present the principal Newark sta
tion of the Lackawanna road is at
Broad street. Here the railroad COM
pany owns an entire block, all of which
is to be inclosed for new freight and
express sheds and six new side tracks
A handsome new passenger station will
be built on both sides of the tracks,
the eastbound and westbound waiting
rooms being connected by tunnel.
The main tracks of the road will lust
touch the northeast corner of the new
yard, while now they pass through it's
southwest.-New York Sun.
