Coveted Ally.

=. London, May 9.-The United States
now holds the centre OF the stage in the
eastern drama, which was begun by
Russia's re-entry into Neu Chwang.
All eyes in Europe are now turned to-
ward Washington, for it is admitted
that whichever side the United States
favors will be the victor. There is
considerable uneasiness in England lest
the Gar should succeed in convincing
the United States officials that Russian
occupation of Manchuria will result in
the development of vast commercial
field which will be thrown open to
American conquest. British statesmen
are working with might and main to
persuade the Washington authorities
that the United States' interest lies in
joint action with the Anglo-Japanese
alliance. 1t is understood that Secre-
tary Hay has already been won to this
view but it is feared President Roose-
welt will convince him that Manchuria
must eventually become Russian ter
ritory, and that America should now
secure the good will Of Russia for the
purpose OF advancing American trade
after the classification of China's
province is accomplished.
Berlin, May 9.-Germany regards
the Russian occupation Of Neu Chwang
with indifference and has no intention
of joining in any note of protest against
the action.

RUSSIA AND KOREA.

A dispatch from Yokohama says
persistent reports are in circulation re-
garding he movements Of Russian troops
along the Yalu river. Detachments
have entered Korea ostensibly to protect
the Russian timber concessionaries, and
a large body of the Cars troops is re-
ported to be approaching Win, Korea.
The japanese government is protesting
against these actions. The steamer
Tosa Maru, which arrived at Victoria,
B. c., Thursday evening, brought news
from Toxic that unusal activity is pre-
vailing in Japan as a result of the feel
ing against Russia in regard to the
Manchurian entente. The japanese
Advertiser states the arsenals of Japan
are now working day and night with in
creasing stats, and that vast amounts OF
naval and military stores are being
turned out. The Yokohama papers state
Japan is preparing for decisive step.
The Japan Times, reviewing the reports
from north China, states that far from
taking steps to evacuate, it is plainly
shown that Russia is engaged in active
warlike preparations. Large stocks of
coal and provisions are being stored,
and there is great military activity in
Manchuria and the GulfofPechili. Picking
correspondents state that no reports are
being received at Peking Of Affairs in
Manchuria since Russia secured control
of communications. From Port Arthur
it is reported that no japanese are now
allowed to travel in Manchuria. A
despatch from Niuchwang says that the
British chief of customs there has been
removed to another port and his post
given to young Russian. The Russian
squadron was busily preparing, when the
Tosa Maru left, for naval maneuvers,
which were to commence May 10. The
vessels which had just arrived to rein
force the feet and a part of the Russian
volunteer feet was to take part, the ag-
gregate displacement of the squadron be-
ing about 100, 900 tons

FROM WASHINGTON.
Correspondence of the Alexandria Gazette.
Washington. ID. c.. Nav 9.

Washington, d, c., May 8.
The japanese Minister, Mr.. Taxa
hira, was the first diplomatic visitor at
the State Department today, remaining
in conference with Secretary Hay for
some time. He said he has received no
advices from his home government. The
State Department received no adyices
from China today. Mr.. Takahira is said
to have explained to Secretary Hay
that the presence of japanese naval YES
sells near Niuchwang is in line with the
programme for the regular spring and
summer manoevers. At the State Depart
ment it is positively asserted today that
Secretary Hay has taken no action in
the Manchuria matter for the past three
days. He is so amazed by the mass of
lies surrounding it, that he has done alb
sOlutely nothing except to endeavor to
get at the truth. He has not commune
Gated with the President on the subject,
nor with Minister Mccormick, and is
therefore unable to state what the next
step of the department will be.
James Dover, fireman in the Post
Office Department, was discharged this
morning for the good of the service, upon
order of the Postmaster General. He
had filed charges of favoritism and
Irregularities against Assistant Engineer
Anderson, alleging, among other things,
that he had been placed under the ban
becaused he was Catholic.
David Sondheimer, a horse dealer,
forty years old, residing at 1115 9Th
street northwest, committed suicide this
morning by shooting himself in the head
with a revolver. Sondheimer leaves
wife and five children. No reason is
given for his deed.
Inspector NJ. C. Fosnes is now acting
general superintendent of the free delivery
division of the Postoffice Department in com
plisnce with the order issued by Postmaster
General Payne. There vas no formality OBJ
served in the shifting of the burdens and re-
spOnsibilities to his shoulders from those of
A. w. Machen, who, after many years of
service at the head of the division, has been
given an indefinite leave of absence in order
that the investigation now in progress may
not be hindered in the slightest degree. Mr..
Machen was unable to greet Mr.. Fosnes, as
had been his intention. He is i'll at home.
Inspector L. II. Thorpe, of the Brooklyn
Office. has been detailed as assistant. He will
direct the affairs of the office through orders
from Mr.. Fosnes, thus enabling the latter to
conduct the inquiry now in progress Of the
Postoffice Department.
Postmaster General Payne said yesterday
evening that he was still without any further
information in the case of the rural free deliv-
cry carrier (Allgood) who has been terrorized
by masked white men from serving as carrier
on route at Gallatin, Tenn. 1t is probable
that General Payne will order the abandon
ment of the route, and will report the case to
the Department Of Justice, with the request
that the Attorney General investigate the
matter with view to prosecuting, if possible,
the men who threated to kill Allg God.

BAPTIST CONVENTION.

The forty-eighth annual session Of the
Southern Baptist Convention was called
to order yesterday in the First Baptist
Church, of Savannah, by President
James p. Eagle, Ex-Governor of Arkan-
sas. Notwithstanding storm the
auditorium was crowded, there being
l ,767 delegates in attendance.
Half an hour was given to devotional
exercises. An address of welcome to
Georgia was made by Hon. Joseph M.
Terrell, Governor of the State, to which
response was made by Rev. E. 2.
Hale, Of Kentucky.
James Philip Eagle, of Little Rock,
Ark, was elected president. A. f.
Owen, of Portsmouth, Va, is one OF
the vice presidents.
Governor Eagle, in accepting re-
election to the presidency, said: 81
would rather be president of the South
ern Baptist Convention than President
of the United States"
An interesting feature of the enroll
ment came about by the delegate from
the Indian Territory, A. G.. Washburn,
a part Indian, insisting that he be recog-
nized. He had not arrived in time to
get his credentials, but insisted that this
was no fault of his. By his persistence
he overcame the chair and the entire
convention, and was recognized on the
spot. He did not propose to come all
this way across the Mississippi, he said,
to represent his people and then not be
recognized.
The report of the foreign mission board
was received, showing that the Southern
Baptist Church is represented by mission
aries in Mexico, Italy, Brazil, Africa,
Japan and China. Encouraging re-
ports were made by all the missionaries.
The financial report for missions shows
that Georgia has taken first place in con-
tributing to this cause. Virginia is
second, having contributed s2S, 5O4, %.
The board does not owe cent and
carries net balance of $40, 62l.29.
The annual report of the Sunday
school board was made by j. NJ. Frost,
the corresponding secretary 1t shows

are no liabilities. The treasurer's report
shows balance of 81, 1861, exclusive
of reserve fund of $2l 251.1 10. During
the year $50, 900 worth Of property was
brought. This was spent for the Cole
place at Nashville.
In the evening the convention sermon
was preached by Rev. w. j. Williamson,
OfSt. Louis,
Alexandria gazette. [volume] (Alexandria, D.C.) 1834-1974, 1903-05-09

Ex-Governor EAGLE, who was yes
terday elected president of the Baptist
General Convention in Savannah, in his
speech accepting the position said he
would rather be President of that body
than President of the United States.
The Ex-Governor, VIC have every reason
to believe, was sincere in his statement,
and he doubtless voices the sentiment of
many others who have tasted of political
life, participated in the broils incident
thereto and rejoiced when the burden
could be transferred to others. But the
great mass of mankind are not of this
genus. They thirst for notoriety and posi-
ton and the great majority die clawing at
phantom honOrs. True happiness is of
quiet nature-an enemy TO pomP and
noise. The political caldron is not the
place to enjoy such serenity.

RUssIAs reoccupation of Niuchwang,
after the date set for the complete evacu-
alton, with the active preparations re-
ported from Manchuria and Japan,
cannot but excite some sOlicitude, since
the peace of the far east seems to be
threatened. Russia's movements have
for some time been viewed with anxiety,
although some prefer to believe she is
trying merely to intimidate China into
yielding to her demands, but Japan and
England are very much in earnest about
Manchuria, and their patience is not in
finite. Secretary Hay, for the United
States, will repeat his protest, it is said,
particularly as this country's treaty with
China is endangered by Russia's action
If China yields, the treaty is gone, and
we cannot hope to have two additional
Manchurian ports opened to our trade.
A very vigorous protest or remOnstrance
is said to be in contemplation. Eng
land, Japan and the United States col
lectively, it is thought, will later enter
formal protest, and the outcome is
anxiously anticipated.

SATURDAY EVENING. MAY 9. 1908.

THAT THE United States has during
the mast few years bitten off more than
II can comfortably chew is beng
more apparent daily. The next move
ment suggested in the march OF lmPe-
,;oI;sm Is the annexation Of the Domini-
can republic, one of the two negro re-
publics which occupy the fertile island
Of Haiti. and which constitutes three
fourtbs Of the island. The country, 1t
is urged, is in a state of anarchy. 1t IS
largely indebted to European countries;
defanlt has already been made in the
navment of interest, and under the con-
tract the European governments whose
citizeds hold the bonds can take posses
sion of the custom houses, as has been
done in Venezuela. The receivers of
these custom houses, it is urged, would
have to be protected by armies and ma
vies. and there would be practically no
limitation upon the period of their occu-
patton. The United States might, there
fore be confronted with the alternative
of paying the debt, over $50, 900, 900,
and annexing the country, or of having
its harbors and ports occupied indefinite
ly by European navies. Just as soon as
the march of Imperialism and expansion
takes the United States beyond the
shores of the continent of North Amer
lea. then there are abundant reasons
for a still longer march. The country
must annex more in order to protect
what it has already annexed. That in
substance, is the argument. 1t may not
be long before we begin annexing more
countries in the antipodes to keep other
nations from getting too near the Phil
ippines.

Reliance and Constitution.

Bristol, R. l., May 9.-The Reliance
arrived here at four O clock this morning,
after an uneventful trip from New
Rochelle, N. Y. The new yacht is here
to procure a new set of spars and new
set of sails besides being hauled out.
Reliance will be here for few days.
Mr.. Iselin hopes to have brush with
Constitution today and preparations for
sailing were begun at an early hour.
Probably no cup racer has even had a
more enthusiastic crew than hatofConsti-
tuition. With the bold assurance of good
sailor men they claim that they will sail
circles around Reliance.
August Belmont declined to allow
Constitution to meet Reliance in brush
and it was intimated that the reason
for his refusal was that the underbody
of constitution had not been cleaned for
a long time.

DisOrderly Students.

Chicago, May 9.-Led by score OF
foot ball players and athletes, fifty stu
dents from the Lakeview High School
engaged in desperate truggle with the
same number of men from South Di-
vision School shortly after ten o'clock last
night, at Lasalle and Washington streets.
The scrimmage was caused by the loss
of banner belonging to the Lakeview
students which, they claim, was stolen
from a dressing room in the Young
Mems Christian Association building
during the progress of debate in which
members of both schools participated
So desperate did the fighting become that
a riot call was sent to the Central station
and a squad of policemen were sent out.
1t was only after hard fight in which
the officers were forced TO use their clubs,
that quiet was restored.
