 Frances Neutrality.
 Paris May 1.-The renewed agitation in the Japanese press relative to Frances alleged non-observance of neutrality attracts attention here. but the Foreign once says no further off, cial consideration of the subject has occurred, or is expected. as France has given the most ample assurances that she intends to observe neutrality and these are being fully carried out.
 Consequently the governmental view is that the question is closed so far as France is concerned, as she has done everything within her power to secure the observance of neutrality. This doubtless will be the response if Ja- pan makes further representations which. however, has not been indicated by any action on the part of Dr. Mo- tono, the Japaaese Minister.

THE LEAKE DISCOVERED
Womaa furnished SpeCaisiors With A.
vance Cefioa Report.

The following with reference to
charges made some time ago that
spectators in cotton had been re-
ceiving advance information of the
agricultural bureaus monthly esti-
mate on the condition of the crop
was received by wire today at the
exchange OF Pat Fl. Wilson & Co:
Washington. June Is. Chief
Wilkie of the secret service, who has
the investigation In hand, has made
some startling discoveries which
may involve others besides officials,
including one Of the women clerks
in the agricultural department who
handles the data upon which the
cotton crop reports are based.
While some of the evidence is cir
cumstantial, enough has already
been disclosed TO show that advance
information on the cotton crop re-
port, and also other reports which
effect speculation, have reached
few stock brokers through the me-
dunn of a woman. In discussing the
matter Chief Wilkie said
THE woman in the case is said
to be one os those ~Aso handle the
figures before the official report is
promulgated This woman, who 1t Is
said. receives a salary of $50 per
month, recently bought a handsome
residence in this city and furnished
IL in magnificent style
The progress of the Investigation
is being kept a secret in the absence
of Chief Statistician Hyde, who sail
ed for Europe a few days before the
charges Of leakage in the depart
ment were filed
