TREATY RIGHTS.

There are a good many things involv- ed in the imbroglio between Russia and Japan other than the points at issue between those nations and that nearly concern other powers. Among the oth- CTS is the United States. which has rights that Russia seems inclined to ignore or resent. As to the particular contention upon which the attention of the world is now turned, we have no concern. save such as may be prompted by the desire to preserve the peace and avoid the horrors of war for humanity's sake, but the attitude of Russia threatens interests that this country has been working long to se- cure. How far Russia means to go in assertion of her claims in Manchur- ia and Corea remains to be seen, but it is certain that she has as yet shown no disposition but to ride rough shod over the rights of all others when she con- sidered it to her interest to do so. In this aspect the United States Tas a large interest in the present far east ern situation. We should not be en- barrassed in the complaint that in op- posing Russian aggression we arS leaning against friendly power and a customer, because we are just as friendly with Japan. Our trade with the island empire is larger than that with Russia. We hope to remain friend ly with both, but We certainly have in- terests enough in Manchuria and Corea to make us watchful of events and to guard vested rights against threatened danger.-Seattle Post-Intelligencer.

Mexico is about to remove the only element of uncertainty that rested like a shadow on the hirizon of her politi- cal future, by providing for the vice. presidency. a method that will be ap- plauded abroad as enthusiastically as it is at home. This constitutional amendment will provide for the peace
 ful and orderly transmission of power in case of the removal of the present and all future chief executives. No doubt the citizen soon to be elected to the vice presidency will be a states man educated in the Diaz school. pos sessing prestige at home and abroad, who has demonstrated his aptitude for the conduct of the multiple and com DliCated interests of the nation in this active era, and who in a word will con- 5inue and expand, according to circum- stances, the high and efficient type of

BASKET BALL. DANCE.

The committee on arrangements for the entertainment of the basket ball team form the high school have de- cided to give a dance in their honor in the evening after the game. Invitations for the event were issued this morning. Two tally-hO loads are expected to come from Phoenix of students alone, and they will of course bring with them q large number of admirers. The same music that gave such satisfac- ton at the reading room ball some time ago has been engaged and this combined with the large attendance of Phoenix young ladies will assure one of the best dances of the season. II was announced that it would take place at the dormitory but after con sidering the matter more fully it was decided that the floor there is too small to accommodate the number that wish to dance at the same time and on this account the hop will take place at Curry hall.
 The team from Phoenix will make their headquarters before and after the game at the girls hall and in the evening will take dinner there as the guests of the normal team
 This being the first game played by the normal team a great deal of in- terest is manifested in the outcome. The high school has considerable the advantage in that they have played several games this season with other teams.

It was this part of the rig that suffered the worst damage and it was almost de- molished. The party who was driving the team that caused the accident did not stop and paid no attention what ever to the trouble they had caused.
