remedy her unsatisfactory relations would
be TO form an economic alliance with
Japan. 1t is highly advisable for Ameri-
ca 10 take this step for the purpose OF
extending her influence in China The
Japanese and Chinese belong to the same
race. The early civilization OF Japan was
imported from China. On account OF their
being of the same race and on account Of
their using the same script the Japanese
and the Chinese have maintained friendly
intercourse from ancient times. In 1884
an open rupture took place in their rela-
tons. but since peace has been restored
the friendship between the two countries
has become more intimate than before.
Not only have the Chinese no hostile
feelings; they have begun 10 look toward
Japan for protection. and diplomatic as
well as commercial relations have become
more and more satisfactory. Japan thus
retains the most advantageous position
in the matter of extending commercial
influence in the market OF China More
over, the relations between Japan and the
United States have been Of the closes,
possible description ever since the Kayei
era. some fifty years ago. when Commo-
6ore Perry Of the American sousdron
came to Japan and concluded a treaty to
open Japan to foreign trade
1T is an indisputahle fact that both the
people and the government officials OF the
United States have continually shown
their friendship towards the japanese.
The trade between Japan and the United
States has gradually developed and
America now occupies the foremost po-
sition in the matter Of trade among the
powers with whom Japan has CONNER
cial relations The same state OF affairs
viii most probably be continued IN the
future. American capital has gradually
been imported into Japan in the interest Of
the development OF various enterprises.
and this indicates the continuance Of tho
friendIiest relations between the two
countries.
In view OF the fact that the relations
between Japan and the United States are
thus satisfactory. II IL safe to suruise that
an economic alliance between the two
countries. although IL has not yet been
concluded on paper. has already been

Blanche Kelley. his wife. who was often
credited With being the brains of the
company which subsequently conducted
the American Queen" is said to have
sailed to Liverpool to join her husband
1t was stated upon reliable authority to-
night that she sailed on the steamer Ce-
dric last Thursday under the name of
Mrs. J. Daniel"
AT HOTEL CECIL.
When reporter called tonight at the
Plaza hotel. where she had been living
since her return from Canada some weeks
ago. he was informed that Mrs Kelley
had departed from there but all informa-
ton as to where she had gone was re-
fused.
Daniel J. Kelley when last heard from
was registered at the hotel Cecil in Lon
don. 1t is supposed that he sailed direct
for Europe when he disappeared from
Montreal several weeks ago.
The direct cause for Keney's fight to
Europe is said To be the belief that
treaty is about TO be negotiated with
Canada looking to the extradition of all
persons charged with bribery.
1t was persisteutly reported at the time
Kratz was brought back from Mexico that
negotiations We're about completed be-
tween the United States and France for
the return OF boOdlers Kelley no doubt
felt that it was getting rather warrnf
about him and he decided to depart for
some country where negotiations were not
undwer way.
II was by accident that Secretary Morri-
son Of the independent Baking Powder
Manufacturers association Of America
learned that Kelley was in London I'm
mediately he notified the detectives who
have been working on the case in New
York. and today report WAS brought to
the association that Mrs. Kelley had fol-
lowed her husband February on the

He is ELUSIVE.
Detectives who have been watching KeI-
ley agree that he is ore Of the shrewdcst
men they have ever engaged TO shadow
Kelley. Ions before he left Montreal made
daily trips 10 the depot. as il he intended
to depart. but each day returned as usual
to his hotel
1t grew 50 natural for himto visit the
station that nothing was thought Of IT,
and one day The elusive Mr. Kelley was
gone. No one seemed toknow where. The
detectives who had been trailing him con-
st&ntly day and night did not see him de-
part. and the mystery was. where was
he gone.
Mrs Kelley remained behind. and after
two weeks came 10 New York. where an
assignment was made immediately by the
American QUEEN Publishing company.
This wound up their business affairs in
New York. II WAS constantly expected
that she would go 10 FIoriad for the win

OFFICER RESENTED
 X STRONG EPITHET
THE POLICE COMMISSION TRIES CHARGES AGAINST TWO MEM BERs OF THE FoRcE-HoLMAN ANDED.

At called meeting of the police com mission last night two trials were held. Policeman Holman was found guilty of conduct unbeeoming an officer, and was reprimanded by Chairman Parker.
 The charge against him was for hitting P. J. Gahan, white man, on Third ave- nue and Eighteenth street on September IF. The evidence was that Gahan called him "d-m liar" The difficulty grew out of the question as to which of them caught a run away horse. When Gahan called the policeman liar he struck him once on the side of the head. The commissioners stated that they thought the policeman, as a citizen. was
 justlnable fin striking Gahan, but thought he should have held his temper as an of fcer. For that reason he was reprimand- ed.
 By a unanimous vote Policeman Cor nett was acquitteds of the charge of con. duct unbecoming an officer. He was ac- cused of winking at the daughter oi Policeman Burns on Third avenue ant Nineteenth street about week ago. The evidence was clear that he was the wrong man and that she was mistaken as tt identity.
 A case against Policeman McCallun was called, but he was absent on account of illness. It is for refusal to pay bills and Chairman Parker was instructed tt | investigate and act and then report bach | to the commission.

BACK FROM SCENE
 OF THE BIG WRECK
ffR. RIcHEY OF SOUTHERN RAIL. WAY SAYS CONDUCTOR OF ONE OF THE TRAINS IS LOSING HIS MIND.

Assistant General Superintendent M. NJ. Richey of the Southern railway, with headquarters In Birmingham. returned from the scene of the wreck in Tennessee yesterday. He gave out the following statement in Knoxville;
 There Is nothing to add to our vice presidents original statement.
 'The accident was deplorable. but un- der the circumstances was beyond the control of the management equally as much as the destructive elements that are controlled by divine power.
 We are here as friends and neighbors to ascertain the facts and to sympathixe with the unfortunate ones, and to do4 everything in our power to aid in reliey- ing the suffering and distress, and we want the friends of the unfortunates and citizens of Knoxville to feel that they can freely command us. either as officials or individuals.
 ''The engineer and conductor of the westbound train were old and trusted employees. They had been in the service of the company for years. Their moral character in Knoxville where they lived was good. It is hard to conceieve how the engineer overlooked the only order he had In running his train. At Norris town, where he received orders to meet train No. 12, the eastbound train at New Market, he read the order to his conduc- tor, told a hotel runner that his meeting order was for New Market, and he re- peated 1t again to a negro bus driver. The train stopped at New Market and discharged and took on passengers. Then the horrible mistake was made. The two trains were made up with all required | equipment. There was nothing left un- done in the handling of the regular traf- hc. The engineer and conductor were human. To them their lives were per haps as sweet as life Is to any one. The l conductor is losing his mind. He ima- zines that he is on wild ride and is constantly grasping for a bell cord. | "Mr. Haylow of Birmingham is being given every attention. I called on him yesterday and assured him of every at- tention. He has use of any and all wires and messages to his home folks will be delivered with promptness. While severe ly injured we do not apprehend that he is fatally hurt"

NEGRO BOUND OVER
J. 3. Bolton Accused of Forging Negro
 Woman's Name.

J. B. Bolton, a negro, was yesterday bound over to the criminal court by Judge Feagin on two charges of forgery, the total amount of which was sS2
 The negro was accused of forging the name of Pearl Drake, a negro woman, to two checks, each for $41. one on the Peoples Savings Bank and Trust com pany and the other on the Citizens Saw ings Bank and Trust company
 The negro left the city just after pre- senting the two checks, and was away for some time. When he returned he was arrested by Policeman Holman and De- tectives Bodeker and Hamilton. A repre- sentative of each of the two banks iden- tined the negro as t4.e one who passed the checks, and his handwriting in sev- eral letters seemed identical with the signature on the checks.
