JAPAN AND GREAT BRITAIN.
The London AfterIIoon Paper~ Ma
cuss the Reported Alliance
with MiNed Feelings.

London, Feb, THE liberal after
noon newspapers view the alliance
between Great Britain and Japan
with mixed feelings and the conser-
vative organs genfrally applaud it.
The ST, James Gazette (conseryative)
expresses modified rupture at this
wide departure from British tradi-
tional policy but finds solace in the
thought that the policy and interests
of the United States are identical
with those of Great Britain and. ia
pan, and concludes:
"Perhaps we shall find, when The
policy of Great Britain is definitely
known, that the United States is
formally or Informally a party to the
league of peace in the far east. At
any rate, no effort should be spared
to secure it's adhesion"
The Westminster Gazette thinks
the alliance can be fairly termed Of
fensiye and defensive, says that it
therefore has a dangerously wide ex-
tension and concludes that it looks
like a rather hasty answer to Eu-
ropean hostility.

WANT HIS COLLATERAL.
Suit to Secure the Return of Certain
Collateral Held by the Detroit
Savings Bank Wrecker.

Detroit, Mich. Feb. 12.-Sidney A.
Witherbee has began suit in the cir
cult court against F. c. Andrews,
former vice-president of the City saw
ings bank, whose overdrafts and
overcertified checks caused the
banks suspension, to compel the re-
turn of certain securities, including
q concession for a railroad in Mexi-
co. Witherbee alleges that, last
September, Andrews promised to
loan him $6O, 900, but when he drew on
him from Mexico for that amount the
draft was not honored. Later he Sc
cured $50 900, but has since, so he al
leges, been unable to secure the other
S1O,0 900 or collateral for it. He
charges that Andrews intends to
turn over this collateral of Wither-
bees to his own creditors.

WOMEN MEET IN COUNCIL.
Meeting of the Executive Committee
of the International Woman's
Suffrage Convention.
PREPARING THE PRELIMINARY WORK.
From Foreign Countries
Met Under the Presidency of the
venerable Susan II. Anthony, to
Discuss h International Move
ment Feature.

Washington, Feb. 12.-The execu-
tive committee of the International
Woman's Suffrage convention, which
meets here, held it's second session
Wednesday morning, preliminary to
the opening of the convention, to
further consider n plan of organiza-
ton and other questions of import
ance. The committee decided to adj
init to auxiliary membership the
Friends Equal Rights association.
Two propositions, submitted by
President Carrie Chapman Gait, were
referred to a subcommittee who will
report to the full committee Friday.
The first has for it's object the pro-
noting of equal suffrage sentiment
which, she said, has been used sue
cessfully in France. 1t embodies the
creation of a woman's postage stamp,
the same as in France, to be placed
alongside the regular stamp. She
pointed out that the regulation post
age stamp of France represents a
young m resting her hand on a
table which bears a motto rights of
Man." while the French women have
adopted a reverse of this and show a
young man with his hand on a table
with the motto Rights of Woman"
Her other proposition was that
each state suffrage association shall
appoint a state historian to keep a
record of all interesting facts.
