ANGLO-RUSSIAN
ALLIANCE {
Commercial Rapproachment
Now Thought Possible. United
states Would BE Chief
Sufferer
NEWSPAPER COMMENT

ST. PETERSBURG, June 1.-The
comment here on the settlement Of
the Russo Canadian fishery dispute
Is very significant. The agre ment Is
Welcomed by the Russian press as
evidence of the increasing probability
of an Anglo Russian alliance, the pa
pers pointing out that the public
opinion in Great Britain, France and
Russia IS becoming more favorable.
and the war, instead Of proving an
obstacle to the alliance, is serving as
one Of the arguments In its favor.
More significant still Is the strong in
timation OF Notovist foreshadowing
that the commercial treaty between
the two countries will pave The way
TO purely commercial rapproachment.
Although 1t is impossible to ascertain
1t this time whether the question Of
sech commercial treaty has actually
been taken up. the possibility Of It's
being the next step in the program
toward political agreement arouses
II keel,<sf nterest in diplomatic cir
cles, wsers ~ considered fraught
with most IN reaching importance,
The United States probably will be
the chief loser by such treaty.

REYES, DEMANDS REFUSED.
Colombian Question VIII Not Go to
Hague Tribunal.


Washington, Jan. 19.-President
Roosevelt transmitted to the senate
Monday additional correspondence
touching the relations or the United
States with Colombia and Panama,
covering the period from Dec. 20, 1908,
to Jan. 6 last.
A statement Of grievances on the
part of Colombia was presented the
state department by General Reyes on
Dec. 26. General Reyes says the course
injury to Colombia, and he cited the
treaty of 1916 as showing that the in
dependence and sovereignty of Colon.
bia was to be maintained intact be-
tween the two governments
In speaking of the action Of the Co
lombian congress in its efforts to
amend the treaty, General Reyes says
81 firmly believe that 1t would have
approved the convention with amend
ments that would probably have been
acceptable to the United States had
not the American minister at BOgota
repeatedly declared in the most posi-
tive manner that his government
would reject any amendments that
might be offered"
General Reyes cites the thirty-fifth
article OF the treaty of 1S46, providing
that when either country feels itself
offended IL shall lay before the other
a statement Of such injury or damages,
and concludes: "Since the aforesaid
treaty is the law which governs be-
tween the two countries, propose
that the claims which make in the
present note on account of the viola
ton aforesaid treaty and all other
claims which may hereafter be made
in connection with the events Of Pan
anna be submitted to the arbitrational
tribunal of the Hague"
Secretary Hay answered this note
under date Of Jan. 5. He says the gov
eminent has carefully considered the
grave complaints made and assures
General Reyes Of our most friendly
sentiments for the government and
people Of Colombia.
Secretary Hay says: "For the &C.
ceptance Of your proposal of a resort
to the Hague tribunal, this govern
ment perceives no occasion. Indeed,
the questions presented in your state
ment Of grievances are Of a political
nature, such as nations even Of the
most advanced ideas as to interna-
tional arbitration have not proposed to
deal with by that process"

THE MODEL HOSTESS.
She Must Have Imperturbable Calm
and Ready Tact.


and Ready Tact.
An imperturbable calm and a ready
tact are the two important factors in
the making of model hostess. Secure
these. and you need never fear for the
success Of any of your entertainments.
There is no quality more to be desired
to make woman q social success than
that of tact. Its possessor knows the
right thing to do and the right time for
doing 1t and thus gains reputation for
cleverness and for many virtues which
q tactless woman would never win
from her circle of acquaintance. no
matter how excellent her qualities Of
both heart and head. The tactful wo-
man is not only patient listener, but
she is thoroughly good one. She
knows no WEAKNESS even when she has
heard the same story more than once
from the same person, and she smiles
in the right place and appears to enjoy
hearing jokes as much as her compan-
ion enjoys telling them. Tact is a
weapon guided with multitude Of pre-
cautions and feminine wiles by the
wise woman, and it is only the wise
who possess it.-Cooking Club.
