A notable transaction and likely

A notable transaction and likely
to have far-reaching consequences is
seen in the treaty between England
and Japan, just published. This
compact is calculated to preserve the
peace in the orient. 1t is stipulated
in the treaty that the contracting
parties will use their influence, reen-
forced by the power of their armies
and navies, to preserve the integrity
of China and Corea-to sustain and
maintain their absolute independ
ence. The condition of this alliance
meets the cordial approval of the
United States. Indeed the treaty
may have been inspired by the wise,
conservative and conciliatory policy
shown by the representatives of this
government in the recent troubles in
the east. The alliance was evident
ly formed with the intention of pre-
venting Russia from realizing any
designs she might have in securing
any exclusive advantages in the east
to the detriment of China or Corea
in territory or to western nations as
in regard to trade. Russia, how
ever, affects to take no ofense at the
treaty, affirming that the assump-
ton that she had sinister designs in
the east was gratuitous. 1t will be
understood that terms of this treaty
relate only to matters in the orient.
It IS the statement of a "Monroe
doctrine" applied to the east.

Of holding the islands.
He found no trouble, he said. about the
title OF the United States TO the Philip

might be questioned. but il was not going
to be questioned. 10 nation was going
to raise any question about il.
lie did not think. however. that morally
the United States WAS in righuu posses

licye that when the United States took
the sovereignty it took it with a right
20 hold il against the will OF the eight
or ten million people OF the archipelago.
lie could not see how any court could
say that the Filipinos. in resting the
United States. were technically guilty Of
treason.
Speaking OF the contradiction between
the views Of army officers in Manila and
those OF the Philippine Commission. Mr.
Teller asked whether General Chanee
agreed with the Commission This ques-

Recent RuHbcrics From Rooms on

About $50 worth OF diamonds and jew

be borne in mind that this is simply
meant TO imply comparatively favorable
condition. The crisis Of the disease has
not yet passed. and until that point is
renched the patient must be considered

past the danger mark.
In young Rooscvelt's case the crisis has

/ the products Of Inflammation. which had
filled the air cells for several days in a
solid mass, were beginning 10 wear down
and were being thrown on aided by res
