CHINESE WANT TO
ALLY WITH JAPANESE.

Paris, March 3.-In a dispatch from
Hardin, Manchuria, a correspondent
of the Matin says it is rumored that
the Chinese generals, Ma and Thiang,
have asked permission to ally them
selves with the Japanese.
ut is now certain" the correspon-
dent continues. that at the beginning
of hostilities the Japanese wanted to
land troops at a point near Shan-H Hal
Kwan and that the Chinese prevent
ed them. Lao Yang, between Mukden
and New Chwang, is becoming the
nucleus of an important Russian army.
Surprise is expressed at Hardin
that the Japanese have not attack ed
Dalny, and it is believed that they
abstained from fear of the extensive
submarine defenses there.
Passengers arriving here by the last
regular train from Port Arthur say
that town was quiet. .v

pilgrims are assembling along the

United States and Russia May For
get Any Ill Feeling.
st. Petersburg, March 2.-The Rus
sian government earnestly desires the
conservation of the ancient friendship
between the United States and the
empire. The belief is expressed here
that the two countries are now on the
eve of better understanding OF the
points concerning, which differences
have existed. The campaign of re-
elimination, which is progressing in a
portion OF the press of both countries
is deprecated, and the government here
specifically disavowe responsibility for
the utterances OF some Russian news
papers against the United States, which
IN turn have infamed a portion of the
American press against Russia.
One official Of the foreign Office point
ed out 20 the Associated Press today

abroad tlwt Russian newspapers, ow-
ing 20 the censorship exercised over
the news. expressed only such views
as are sanctioned by the authorities
whereas, as a matter OF fact. the news
papers editoriaily have the widest lati-
iude. and they frequently embarrass
the government by their unresfrnined
criticism of other countries.

THE PHILIPPINES ARE
WORTHLESS POSSESSION.

ROtted Under a Tropical sun.
Washington, March 2.-The bill for
the regulation of Philippine shipping
was again the principal object of con-
side~ation by the Senate to-day. 1t
was made the subject of a somewhat
general discussion of the Philippine
question, and was amended so as to
defer for year the time when the Dill
shall take effect.
At Mr.. Majors suggestion the bill
was so amended as to except supplies
for the army and navy so as to pre-
vent conflict with the bill regulating
the shipment of government supplies
which was passed yesterday.
During the debate it was stated that
Secretary Taft had expressed a willing
ness that the proposed law should be
enacted in case the tariff on Philippine
products was reduced.
Mr.. Patterson accepted the sugges-
ton of a revision of the Philippine tar
iff as "a threat of another raid on SUI
gar and tobacco" and said the friends
of the sugar and tobacco industries
would resist every effort of that kind
by all legitimate parliamentary tao
tics.
Mr. Carmack contended that there
had been no adequate returns for the
$500, 200, 900 spent by the United States
on THE Philippines, which he pro-
nounced 1.-The most worthless possession
that ever rotted under tropical sun"
He predicted that in time the islands
would have to be paid for, not only in
treasure, but in blood"
Consideration of the bill had not been
concluded when the Senate adjourned
until tomorrow.

ACROSS THE ATLANTIC
The Fleet VIII Sail After Leaving
Pensacola.


Washington, March 1.-The Navy
Department has been advised of the
departure from Guantanamo for Pen
sacola of the North Atlantic squadron
which having practically terminated
the winter maneuvers in the vicinity
of Culebra, will engage in target prac-
tice on arrival at Pensacola.
An interesting feature in connection
with the northward movement is the
fact that the battleship squadron is
destined for an early journey to the
Mediterranean, without coming north
to the navy yards. The squadron will
stop first at the Azores, this making
an endurance test. The Navy Depart
ment has paid particular notice to the
cruise Of the Asiatic fleet from Yoko-
hama to Honolulu and return and 1t
has been determined to send the bat
tleship squadron Of the North At

the Atlantic. After arriving in the

Nothing Is In the Way.

that, contrary to the statement ema-

tween the company and the Republic
OF Colombia in connection with the
suits now pending before the French
courts.
The official declared there is abso-
iutely no difficulty in the way of an
immediate conclusion of the negotia-
lions for the transfer of the concession
to the United States, as the company
maintains that the French procedure
does not provide for an injunction, that
there cannot be any legal restraint of

Washington. March "A conclusion

Within thirty days, perhaps in a
shorter time, the United States will be
in full possession of the property and
the money consideration will have
been paid to both the republic of Pan

Attorney General Knox had a con-
ference to-day with the President. at
which the whole subject, so far as the
legal phases of it are concerned, was
considered and decided At the con-
clusion of the conference the Attorney
General authorized the following
statement:
Il have advised the President that
he is authorized to pay at once to the
republic of Panama the $10,OO0,00O stip-
ulated for by the treaty, the ratifica-
tions of which have Just been ex-
changed. Also, that he is authorized
to pay to the New Panama Canal
Company the $4O,OOOO00 which, under
the agreement between the United
States and that company, we are to
pay for its property, and have noti-
fed the canal company we are ready
to close the transaction.

erty should not require more than

he does not regard it as a serious
