WOULD EXTEND ALLIANCE.
Chamberlain Praises the Anglo-Jap.
 anesc Pact.

London, April 12,-Joseph Chamber lain. presiding at the annual meeting of the Liberal Unionist club, held in Lon don this afternoon, strongly supported the suggestion of an Anglo-Japanese defensive alliance. He referred to the present Anglo-Japanese defensive .alli- ance as one of the greatest diplomatic achievements of the last quarter of a century. and said the treaty had aI- ready justified itsele by limiting the area of the terrible conflict which was still going on. The liberal-unionists, he added, would support Foreign Secretary Landsdowne in his determination to carry out the treaty in its spirit as well as in it's letter, and he might say they would be very glad to follow Lord LansdoWne further if the foreign secre- tary thought the policy he had initiated could be extended. Mr. Chamberlain believed that any mutual defensive un- derstanding between Japan and Great Britain would secure for an indefinite time peace in the Far East, and give both Japan and Great Britain security in their possessions.

MEYER MEETS GEAR.
New American Ambassador Received at
 the Palace.

St. Petersburg, April 12.-12:25 p. m.-
 Ambassador Meyer this afternoon presented his letters of eredence to Elm peror Nicholas at Tsarkoe-Selo In dip lomatic circles keen interest is mani- fested at the first interview between the emperor and the new American ann bassador, owing to the widespread be- lief that President Roosevelt has al- ready allowed the intimation to be con- veyed to both belligerents that he stands ready, upon their mutual re- quest, to undertake the promotion of peace. It is supposed that MT Meyer this afternoon delivered confidential communication to his majesty from President Roosevelt; but so far as is ascertainable the emperor did not dis cuss the question of peace with the new ambassador.
 The audience lasted ten or fifteen minutes. What passed between the em- peror and the ambassador naturally is secret. ..% sE
 The occasion marked a notable de- parture from the custom of the St. Pet ersburg court since the days of Minister c. R. Breckenridge, MT. Meyer wearing no uniform, but appearing in the sim pie evening dress of an American gen. tleman. EfH

DR. GLADDEN,s COMMENT.
What Acceptance of the Rockefeller
 Gift Means. -.

Columbus, O., April R.-When inform ed this afternoon of the final action of the prudential committee accepting the Rockefeller gift, Rev. Washington Gladden., D. D., authorized this state ment: 9# &r>sy.
 The prudential committee has placed itself in the broad and intelligiible po- sition that all gifts must be received, no matter what may be the character of the giver, nor by what inlmoralities and crimes his gains may have been gathered. #.z..-.. J-... . "No discrimination is henceforth to be made. The pirate or the train rob- Der may bring his booty to the treas ury of the American board and it will be thankfully received, and if suffi- ciently large, will be described as a magnificent gift 4.@s .
 By the decision the prudential committee rejects the word of Him, who said, I hate robbery for burnt offer ings,' and reverses the ethical judgment respecting the rewards of iniquity which has guided Christendom hereto fore. It openly proclaims that money to which the giver has no moral right may be rightfully given to a mission ary society, if only his motive is to do good with it; and it assumes the power of judging the motive of the giv- CT. It knows and declares to the world that there can be no motive but ben- evolence in the bestowal of this gift.
 "That is a great testimony from such high authority. Fro mthis decision the appeal will now be taken to the con- science of the Congregational churches and the consciene of Christendom."

A Chinese junk which arrived here recently reported that two Japanese vessels purchased supplies at Pulo Obi Cat the southern extremity of Cochin China)
