dom, but of the entire world. That France ap-
preciates the meaning of this treaty between
England and Japan, with all that it involves, is
best shown by the fact that not merely have the
orders for the dispatch of naval and military
reinforcements to Indo- China been cancelled, but
that directions have even been issued for the
recall from Far Eastern waters of all of the
battleships and first class cruisers, leaving
merely a sufficient number of smaller vessels
and gunboats for the suppression of piracy and
for the policing of the big rivers and coasts. In
fact, the fear which formerly prevailed at Paris
of a Japanese invasion of Indo-Chna in con-
junction with Black Flag risngs has vanished
to such a degree that there has been marked
Improvement in the disposition on the part OF
Gallo capitalists to invest money in colonial
enterprises in that part of the world.
Holland few months ago was so terrified lest
the japanese should embark on the conquest OF
her rich dependencies known as the Dutch East
Indies that she was actually considering the
policy of joining the federation known the
German Empire, as one of the sovereign states
of which the latter is composed, with the object
of assuring herself of the support of the Kaiser
in the event of any invasion on the part or
Japan and the matter was publicly discussed In
the States General at The Hague as well as in
the press of the Netherlands This fear has now,
thanks to the Anglo-Japanese treaty become
thing OF the past There is no further necessity
for Holland 10 barter away even the smallest
shred of her political or economic independence
to secure the protection of Germany in the
Orient. In fact 1t is a question whether the
erection of the flag of the German Empire in
Java sumatra and the other Dutch possessions
in Eastern waters would not provoke the very
danger which 1t was destined to avert since the
Anglo-Japanese alliance might take exception to
such disturbance Of the balance OF power and
of those present conditions which 1t has pledged
itself to maintain unimpaired.
But France and Holland are by no means
the only powers to derive advantage from the

Although the signature OF the new treaty Of
alliance between England and Japan, which has
been promulgated this week. preceded by some
days the conclusion of the treaty between
Japan and Russia. at Portsmouth. n. H. yet
the one may be regarded as constituting the
compliment of the other. For whereas the
Treaty Of Portsmouth for which the President
OF the United States is so largely responsible.
has brought about the close Of one Of the
bleodiest wars in the history Of the world. and
marks the beginning Of an era Of peace, the
treaty between England and Japan, to which
Lord Lansdowne and Viscount Hayashi have
recently affixed their signatures, seems des-
tined to assure TO mankind the maintenance of
that peace for many years to come. BY
thoughtful men. and by students of contem-
porary political history in all quarters of the
globe, IL will be thus regarded and but little
Importance need be attached to the criticisms of
the alliance which are being printed by por-
tion Of the press OF continental Europe and
cabled across the ocean to America For the
treaty is one OF inestimable advantage not
alone to the two contracting parties but TO the
United States and 10 the leading powers of the
Old World, and to none more so than to France
In fact, it creates situation in the Far Orient
which enables France, well most Of the
other Western governments to reduce her naval
and military forces in the Pacific and to thus
diminish the terrible expenses for defensive
purposes with which almost every nation now
edays is Overwhelmingly burdened-
France for instance. has for many years past
been IN constant dread of invasion Of her
possessions in Tonkin and Indo-China by the
Japanese Indeed, her alliance with Russia was
aimed quite as much against Japan as against
Germany. The relations between TOXIC ana
Paris have been strained almost continuously
ia the last two decades. sometimes nearly TO
the breaking point. and as an Illustration
thereof I may mention fact for which can
voueh. and which has never before appeared IN
print. namely. that at the time OF the Fashoda
srnbrogiio between Great Britain and France at
the moment when the crisis was most acute
and when the question Of peace or war was
trembling in the balance. every officer OF inc
general staff at Toxic was at his post, reaoy

his Indifference to the obligations OF neutrality
had exasperated public sentiment in Japan to
the utmost, and when the subjects of the Mi
kado were clamoring for the execution of the
long projected descent on Tonkn that Delcasse
virtually ousted from office by Prime Min
lister Rouvier, with the object of appeasing, not
merely the German Kaiser in the Morocco con-
troversy. but also the Japanese in the matter
of the friendly assistance which he had caused
to be accorded to the Baltic feet on its way
out to China
Before, however, these reinforcements could
be dispatched the French government received
from London confidential communication of the
terms Of the treaty between England ana
Japan, which entirely altered the situation. The
provision that concerns France most vitality ana
in a scarcely lesser degree all other powers with
colonial possessions in the East, is that when
virtually secures the maintenance of the status
quo in all Asia up to the line crossing Persia
from north to south indicated by the ffty-first
degree of east longitude. True, the main feature
of the treaty is that it commits England to the
defence Of Japan in the event of attack. and
Japan to the defence of England should any OF
her Asiatic possessions be threatened by third
power. But the obligations thus established
carry with them the distinct understanding
if not actually proclaimed In SO many
words. that neither of the two contracting
parties should embark upon a war against
third nation without the consent of its ally II
MEANS therefore. that Japan, while ner treaty
OF alliance with Great Britain lasts. will be pre-
vented from executing either the designs when
she formerly entertained with regard to French
Indo- China and to the Dutch East Indies. or the
projects ascribed to her with regard to the con-
quest of the Philippine Islands. without the
sanction of Great Britain. The latters main
object, however. is to-day. as 1t probably VIII

ON this trip, by some Of the most emf

The object OF Mr.. Baylor's trip was
largely to look after personal busi-

the YAKIMA ARMoRY IS
DESTROYED BY FIRE
Efforts of Firemcn were Unavailing
Company Il Lost All Equip
ment--lnsurancc, $4,000.

The Armory building was de-
stroyed by fire last night Tuesday,
at midnight. No one knows how the
fire was started. The loss was to-
tai one. and the insurance carried by
Mr.. PocQuette was $4,000.
At 2 clock an alarm was turned
in to the department. The Armory
was discovered to be ablaze by some
one from the outside, and to all ap-
pearances the building had been
burning for some time when the
Dlaze was first seen. A strong wind
from the north was blowing, which
famed the flames and increased the
fury of the confiagration. 1t SO hap
pened that the direction of the wind
carried the sparks from the FIRE
south across the vacant lots below
the Armory, and none of the nearby
buildings were in any great danger.
The militia company lost every
thing they had in the way Of equip
ment. The property consisted in all
the guns Of the company, about 3d.
900 rounds Of ammunition, all the
uniforms belonging to the members,
and the prize cup won two years ago
by the local team representing Co.
Il. The company had Just received
a consignment of new rifles.
VIM. Pocquette was the owner of
the building. He and Eddie Thomp-
son conducted an Athletic club there
and within the last few months Turk
ish baths had been installed. The
Armory was large building, and was
utilized for dances. bazars, big So
cial and sporting events. 1t was a
frame building, and burned with
fierce fury. lighting up the whole
town. The efforts Of the fire depart
ment to combat the flames were pow
erless.
Sleeping in the building at the
time the fire broke out were MIR. Poe
quette and Eddie Thompson. They
were awakened from the outside by
those who turned in the alarm, and
barely escaped with their lives.

The witness fees In the Willard
Boyd case were cut down $3.50 Tues
day by Judge Rigg who refused to al
low thirteen doctors who testified,
giving expert testimony, in the case.
In addition to their per diem fees,
which amounted 20 $14.20, the doc
tors handed in an additional bill OF
$40 each. This latter charge is the
amount the judge cut of.
Judge Rigg said: II am aware of
the fact that it has been the custom
heretofore to pay the doctors addi-
tional fees for expert testimony, but
l know of no law governing the mat
ter which makes such action legal,
and until the doctors can show me
that my stand is erroneous, the
claims will not be allowed. These
doctors were summoned as any other
witnesses to give their testimony, and

palms on the stairway landing came
the orchestra's sweet strains, which
seemed to blend with the soft rustic
Of silken skirts and the merry chat
ting and laughter of the happy
guests. Light refreshments were
served. and these were In keeping
