NEW ANGLo-JAPANEsE TREATY.
Great Britain Hopes that an Alliance
Con Be Formed Soon

London, August 1-Considerable
progress is being made with the new
Anglo-Japanese treaty alliance which
the foreign office hopes will be con-
cluded at an early date Some of the
details have not yet been fully set
tied, but it can be definitely stated
that the terms will be more compre-
hensive than those governing thSu pres.
ent alliance. The treaty will be pro-
mulgated as soon as completed, there
being a desire on the part of the Brit.
ish government to make it's publication
dependent on the conclusio of peace
AS to the suggestion that Great
Britain should advise Japan to be len
lent, the Associated Press hears that
the British governments presumptions
are that it's advice will be asked by
Japan in the course of the peace nego
tiations, and that it will then gladly
offer what counsed may seem to it
best calculated to assure a permanent
peace.

TELECRAPHERS GO
OUT ON A STRIKE
The Men Claim That They Were
Forced to Quit.
STRIKERS ARE STANDING FIRM
An Increase in Wages Was Wanted by
Men, But Company Refused to Grant
the Raise, and Discharged Those
Who Would Not Accept.

st. Paul, August differences be-
tween tile telegraphers employed on
the Great Northern company and their
employers reached a climax today
when nearly all the operators on the
Wilmar, Fergus Falls and Brecken-
ridge divisions quit work.
The men claim it is a lockout on the
part of the road because they will not
accept the terms offered. The company
claims it is because the men are not
satisfied. A circular to its employees
the company proposes a schedule OF
wages which is claimed give an in
creascs to the men amounting to $20,.
600 annually. The men, on the other
hand, assert that the increase amounts
to only $1,000 or $4,000 annually for
about a thousand men.
The employees were asked in the cir
cular to decide whether they wished
to continue in the company's service
and be governed by it's new rules and
regulations. When the men refused to
accept this proposition they claim
that they were at once discharged.
President Perham, of the Railway
Telegraphers' union, said today:
but one man has failed us. Else
where they have gone out uniformly
The superintendent have not called
on operators or agents in the Twin
Cities or any large stations. I want
to make it clear that this is not a
strike, but it is lockout"

BILL TO REDUCE SALARIES.
Railroad Commissioners Are Paid Too
Much-Other Legislative News.

Atlanta, Angus! 1.-Somewhat of a
stir was created in the house yester.
day when the general assembly appro,
pristions bill was under discussion. by
an amendment offered by Mr.. Knight.
of Berrien, proposing to reduce the
salaries of the members of the rail
road commission from $500 to 81, 900
each.
The appropriation to the state san.
itarium at Milledgeville brought UP
the next debate. The sanitarium was
given 1887, 500 in 1Svo and the commit.
tee increased it to $36O,O00 for 1906
and 1910, 900 for 1907
Mr.. Davis, of Burke, chairman of the
general appropriations committee, ex.
planned why the increase had been
made at the urgent solic 2tion of the
trustees. Considering t%e conditions
and the number of inmates cared for.
the state sanitarium, Mr. Davis de.
clared, is the cheapest of all the states
institutions. There are now 3.016 pa.
tients in the sanitarium, and they are
increasing at the rate of 100 a wear.
He said the trustees had asked for
$397,OO0 for 1906, and $407 900 for 1907,
but the committee had gone carefully
into the matter and considered that
while the amounts given by the com
mittee would be sufficient, they were
absolutely needed.
In the Senate.
An important suggested amendment
to the constitution of the state which
has been before the legislature for
the past several years, but which the
general assembly has never yet given
the people an opportunity to pass up
on was again presented in the SEN
ate Monday by Senator Gambler.
Senator Candler's bill provides for
an amendment to paragraph 2, section
2 OF article of the constitution of
Georgia so as to enlarge the power of
exemption from taxation of all places
OF religious worship of burial, and all
property belonging to colleges, incor.
porated academies of other seminaries
of learning.
The only general measure which
has been transmitted to the senate
by the house came over Monday. This
was Hon. T. B. Felders reformatory
bill. 1t will doubtless be several days
before this bill will reach a vote in
the senate, as it has yet to be read
the required number of times and be
considered by the proper committee.

Rev. Dr.. Irvine Finds Him

Leaves Huntingdon,
After a Warm Reception.
A Telegram Received, Whose Au-
thenticity Is at Stake.

d. Ingram n W. Irvine. the deposcd
rector Of st. Johns Protestant t,pisco-

carcworn and haggard. During his
short visit he maintained an uninter-
rupted sile:lce to all newspaper inter
viewers.
Dr. lrvine's unexpected departure to
day, is viewed as inexplicit. 1t is gem
orally believed that the briefness of his
visit was due to his failure to int,u
enoe the veatrymen who have repudiat
ed their signatures on the presentment
to permit their names to remain on that
paper. 1t is understood that an effort
was made by DR.. Irvine to commune
cate with John LangdOn, one of the
men who rcDudiatcd the presentmcnt
but without success. 1t is now definite
ly known that Nestryman ". G. Miller
did receive Il telegram with Dr. IT.
vines name signed to it, asking him to
keep quiet and that a letter explaining
the IniSrcpr, Scnt;ltion would follow Dr.
Irvinc's chief counsellor, Herbert No
BE, denies that such Il telegram was
sent by the Gpposcd clergyman.
After DR.. Irvnc's departure some of
the details OF his visit became known
1t was le@rncd that DR.. Irvine and Mr.
Hillitr had som" differences over the
telegram received by Mr.. Miller and
that Or. II, inc left the HITLER house
and spent the night with Mr.. Miller.
After Dr. !rvint's arrival. last night

Piled that il ir. Irvine wanted to see
him he knew where TO find him. Dr.

explanation but he did not propose to
