Britain is Unfaithful In
Her Alliance In the
Far East.

Pekin, Nov. 16.-The foreign diplo-
mats at Pekin are awaiting develop
ments In the Russo-Japanese negotia-
tions with the keenest interest, but are
net sangaine Of success. because they
are unable TO see what terms are possi-
BILE unless one .,ation distinctly aurren-
ders. Japan has asserted that RUS
sia's fulfiliment Of the evacuation con-
yention Is essential to an agreement
and has promised China to not sane
ton any arrangement impairing Chi
nese sovereignty in Manchuria.
Russia's officials declare that her
domination Of Manchuria Is necessary
for her interests and that Russia must
hold all she has taken.
Advices from Japan are to the effect
that the Japanese are growing bitter
against England, because they believe
the latter nation Is false to her alliance
with Japan. They now think England
entered into the alliance with Japan
expecting that its proclamation would
result in Russia withdrawing from
Manchuria, and, therefore, regarding
war rs faint possibility. Russia re-
fused to retire. and now England. fear
ing she may be drawn into war as
result Of the alliance, is exerting her
influence as an ally to induce japan to
recognize what Lord Cranbornc called
"Russia's rather special position In
Russia"
II is noticeable that China no longer
seeks British assistance regarding
Manchuria, but consults only the
American and Japanese ministers.

to be OF duty every NTH day. Under the
present arrangement the fremen have one

NIT Of q twelve-hour tour Of duty. the plan
now proposed is believed to be the best that
can be devised for the men. The members
Of the fire department are virtually on duty
at all hours Of the day and night. They
live in the engine houses. The days on
are given them In lieu Of regular hours Of
work. and 1t Is only on such days that they
have an opportunity to spend any time with
their families or relatives.
Chief buttons idea since be has been at
the head Of the department has been to
work primarily for the interest OF the men
under his command. Almost one OF his
first acts was to recommend to the Com
missioners that the nrpmen BE- allowed
twenty days leave each year instead OF the
ten and ffteen-day terms they formerly
were allowed
