A recent dispatch from Berlin says it is
common talk in ministerial quarters there
that the Russo-Japanese war is not
single contest for territory in Korea or
Manchuria. but rather a combat of civiiza-
tons, and that If choice must be made be-
tween the white and the yellow races Ger
many will stand by the white high Of
fetal Is quoted as expressing the belief that
if Japan should be victorious japanese in
fiuence would be supreme in China and
that the cry would go up Asia for the
Asiatics." economically as we'll as terri
torially. in matters of trade as we'll as of
empire. German statesmen believe that in
that event Great Britain Germany and the
United States would be expelled from the
East and that the open door of trade would
become closed one.
All this is matter of pure speculation, and
when 1t comes to guessing one person may
guess as we'll as another. The German
view seems to see a new yellow peril"
The original one of that name was an ap-
which they were to spread over Europe like
tidal wave until Western civilization
should be engulfed. That was too fantastic
TO last long and soon ran its course. The
new yellow peril is based entirely on eco
nomic ideas and commercial interests. AS
all commercial countries are now waiting,
watching and planning to capture Eastern
trade, it is natural that anything which
threatens to close the partly open door to
that trade should be regarded with extreme
solicitude.
But the new German yellow peril theory
seems even more visionary than the origi-
nal one. Ii assumes first that if the Jap
anese should be victorious in the present
war they would become supreme in China.
and, second. that they would use their su-
premacy TO monopolize Chinese trade to
the exclusion of other nations. and perhaps
TO train and utilize Chinese labor in estab-
fishing the manufacturing supremacy of
suppositions. There is no reason to sup
| pose that Japan in her widest dreams of
success has ever entertained the idea of
dominating China. She would be more than
content with driving Russia out of Man
churia and restoring that territory TO

! was cheated out OF after the Chinese war
of 1885, To speak of japan absorbing or
dominating China is preposterous as to
talk of Cuba doing the same by the United
States. China is very unprogressive and
unwarlike country. but ii is far too vast

! by the little island empire. Moreover
Japan has become a liberal and progressive
power. and no matter how great her in
fuence In the East might become there is
reason to believe il would be used in favor
of the open door and fair trade for all
nations.
But suppose Russia should be victorious

If there is a possible yellow peril for
Western interests in the success of Japan
though il seems very remote-is there not
also a possible peril in the success of Rus
STA? Indeed, is there not even more peril
from the Muscovite than from the Mongo-
liam? Russia is the most aggressive and
exclusive nation in the world Her whole
history has been one of acquisition of ter
ritory and dominating peoples she has sub
jected by what she calls peaceable con-
quest. Japan and China combined would
not cast such a shadow over Europe as
Russia does to-day, and she casts larger
shadow in the far East than all the Eu-
ropean powers combined. If she succeeds
In this war she will hold Manchuria, seize
Korea. dominate China and threaten Japan.
In that case there will be an end of the
open-door policy in the East and an at
tempt to extend American trade in the
countries she controls would be almost as
successful as publishing a republican
newspaper in ST. Petersburg. While we are
discussing yellow perils let remember
there are others. Napoleon once predicted
that Europe would become all republican
or all COssack. The latter is more prob
able than the former

HANNA'S SUCCESSOR AS
NATIONAL CHAIRMAN
Contest Seems to Lie Between
Senator Scott and Repre-
sentative Dick.


WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.-There has been
considerable discussion around the Senate
and House about the probable successor to
Senator Hanna as chairman of the Repub-
lican national committee and the names
of Senator Scott of West Virginia. Senator
Penrose, of Pennsylvania, and Representa-
tive Charles Dick, who is slated TO be
Senator Hanna's successor in the Senate
from Ohio, are most frequently mentioned
suggestion is also made that Senator
Aldrich no doubt will be connected with
the committee in some capacity, pronaoly
as chairman OF the finance committee. IL
is said of both Senator Scott ana Repre-
sentative Dick that they were closer po-
litically TO Senator Hanna than any Otner

national campaigns with him, KNOW more
about his methods and his connection with
national politics than any other man. COL

ARBITRATION TREATY
TO SETTLE DISPUTES
France Anxious to Arrange Agree
ment with This Country to
Dispose of Trouble.
SLOW WORK FOR PRESENT

PARIS. Feb. 24-It was confirmed in off,
cial circles in Paris to-day that negotia-
tions We're actually in progress between the
United States and France for an arbitra-
ton treaty. The French Parliamentary
group favoring international arbitration is
said, however. to be oversanguine in the
belief that a treaty will shortly be signed.
1t is pointed out here that the Russo-Jap-
anese war and the possibility of complica-
lions growing out of that struggle rather
tend TO cause hesitation Of the negotiators
of the arbitration treaty instead of hasten
ing its signature.
with respect TO the exchanges between
France and the United States. IL is un-
derstood that these occurred at washing

be ascertained. The officials who do not
anticipate the immediate signature OF a
treaty, say the exchanges which have
taken place have at least formed a base
upon which treaty at a more favorable
opportunity can be contaminated
WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.-It is further
stated that similar propositions have been
made to this government by the diplomatic
representatives of Great Britain. Italy and
Holland. All OF these have likewise been
taken under careful consideration by the
President Although earnestly faVOring
the principle of arbitration. President
Roosevelt is indisposed 10 submit an arbi-
tration treaty until he is assured of its
approval. Having lost one arbitra ton
| treaty with Great Britain through the Sen

| to submit others in the same line until it

sentiment among the senators sufficient 60

ances are lacking, so that while the arbi-

WASHINGTON, Feb. A.-The Democratic

four years. He is of opinion that between

old party will be ground TO pieces.
There is feeling OF pronounced gloom

More safety i'm Speed.

Street railway experts have determined that
within certain limits the higher the average
rate OF speeds OF cars in cities the fewer the
number and the less serious the accidents. This
seeming paradox is explained the ground
that when the cars are run at a very moder-
ate rate OF speed motormen. thinking they have
the under perfect and instant control. allow
their attention TO be distracted. and the riding
and walking public take greater liberties and
run greater risks with slow moving cars. When
the speed is increased every one is on the alert
and as a consequence fewer accidents occur.
This unexpected development has induced the
municipal and State legislators and railway
commissioners to increase the limit of speed 50
that, whereas several years ago seven miles
an hour was the usual maximum in cities. the
limit is now generally placed at ten. and the
Massachusetts railroad commissioners have re-
