ALLIANCES SOUGHT
ANGLO JAPANESE R,APPR0CHE-
 MENT CAUSES FLURRY.
suxgested That Germany, France ahe Russaa Form Combine to OHsea Alliance of kinG Edward
 with Mikado.

paris Oct. l,-Chancellories here and tbrourhout Europe are taking the keen est Interest in the possible and even the probable formation Of new Eu- ropean alliance, consequent upon the EtermInation of the close of war and the eonclusion of a closer British Japanese alliance. This has advanced beyond discussion in the newspapers and mas also reached the stage of discreet dip- fomatic soundings.
 The various proposed realignments Of European powers are divided into three main rnovements-frst. British inclina- ton toward an accord with Russia; sec ond, a German Russian movement for an alliance offsetting the Anglo-yap- anese alliance, and, third, Russo o-Ger- man overtures to induce France to join the latter grouping.
 Great Britain's desire for a r'ap- prochement with Russia has brought about the distinct diplomatic sugges- tion that Great Britain is ready to give full recognition to Russia's privileged position in Southern Turkey. notably at Constantinople and along the Bos- phorus. Russia's ambitions in that di- rectior have heretofore encountered strong opposition in England.
 The view in French ofiicial quarters is distinctly favorable to an Anglo Russian r'approchement. It was one or the projects of M Delcasse when foreign minister, to have King Edward visit Emperor Nicholas as a means for furthering the reconciliation of Russia and Great Britain. Since the retire. ment of NJ Delcasse this project has been in abeyance put the officials con- tinue favorable to an Anglo Russian entente.
 Concerning the proposed German Russian agreement. strong elements in both countries favor an accord as counterpoise to the Anglo-Japanese all iiance. The Tempts tonight prints an authorized interview with Prince won Buelow, the German Imperial Chancel- Tor at Baden Baden. openly advocating a German Russian r'approchement. The Prince says:
 Tt is natural and traditional that we should have the best relations with Russia. Why should France take um- brage? We do not take umbrage be- cause of the Franco Russian alliance. A system of pacific alliances would as- sure the equilibrium of Europe. The Franco Italian r'spprochement has not an anti-German character nor should Russo German r'approchement have an anti French character"
 In connection with French participa- ton in a Russo-German rapproche- ment it can be definitely stated that France before considering a new align ment of the powers intends to await the final determination of the contro- versy with regard to Morocco in which country Germany first interrupted the French program. Afterward France might consider German overtures, but
 until Morocco's future Is assured. French bonds of sympathy will con- tinue with Russia and Great Britain.

CATTLE DEALERS REVELATIONS.
{ Declares That Railroads Discrfminated Against Chicago Live Stock.

Chicago Oct 4.-Lively interest was evoked by W. s. Tasker of Chicago, live stock commission dealer and cat tie feeder who testified before the In- terstate Commerce Commission today regarding freight rates on live stock and live, stock products from Missouri River points to Chicago.
 As an illustration of the alleged in- consistency of rates charged by the railroads Tasker testified that on one occasion he shipped herd of cattle from points in Northwestern Wisconsin to Chicago by way of South St. Paul at a much less freight rate than he could have shipped live stock direct to Chi cago The tariff on the points where he shipped in Wisconsin to Chicago was 25 cents a hundred. By shipping to South St. Paul and thence to Chicago he was able to obtain rate Of 1o l-z per hundred pounds, although the dis tance the commodity had to be trans ported was about 300 miles farther than by the direct route. :, How did you manage to get that rate for your cattle by way of South St. Paul?" inquired Attorney Seaverns, of the Chicago Great Western Rail- way.
 By through billing I suppose. ar ranged with a live stock commission dealer in South St. Paul to have 1t done for me, replied the WltHesS'
 That low proportionate rate between South St. Paul and Chicago was only intended for cattle shipments consigned to Chicago from points In Montana, the Dakotas and Minnesota, and you knew it, did you not?" asked the railroad at torney. .<c @.-. "Yes.'' ".+...~
 "Then, as a matter of fact you en- tered into a conspiracy with the com mission man to manipulate the. billing of the cattle received at South St. Paul from Western points and sold there so that they would appear to have been shipped through to Chicago while your cattle were substituted under the pretense that they were really the anil mals shipped through. T suppose that was the way 1t was done. I understood the same thing has been done before."
 "Is that the way you usually do busi- ness"
 q never made but one shipment that way" was thNreply.

 In one year, the lawyer showed the new business cost the company about s77O0OO0 over and above all premiums received from 1t. The sum paid out to get the new business was S1O,7s5,- 575.
 The premiums for new business paid to the company in the year amounted to S3,0s5,640.
 MT. Weeks admitted that the total expenses of the company would be re- duced by about $10.000.000 a year if no new business were written.
 When asked whether there had been conferences between officers of differ ent companies held with a view to having the companies make about the same showing in the matter of divi- dends. MT. Weeks admitted that he had talked with an officer of the Equitable"
 During the noon recess, about fifty men who said they were policyholders of the New York Life Insurance Com pany held a meeting in the rear of the room in which the investigation was conducted. Some of those present de- nounced the methods of the big com panies doing business in this city ana declared that the disclosures befofe the legislative committee were fcient to warrant the State ofiicM1s to take immediate steps to prosecute the officials.
 At the afternoon session, Mir. Mo Keen asked MT. Mccall If, when he contributed to the Republican National campaign fund there was any under standing that the Federal Governmnet was to grant any favors, to which the witness replied tn ere was none, ana that the Federal Government was not fin a position to grant favors to the New York Life, because life insurance has been held not to be commerce.
 MT. Hughes said: There was pub lished the other day copies Of afhdaVits alleged to have been made and sent to the Governor of Texas by officers or your company in which they declared no campaign payment was made by the New York life in 1896; did you know about those affidavits?"
 T do not remember the making or those afidavits, said President Mccall. q recall that a representatives or GOV ernor Culberson called on me and asked for permission to examine the books or the company. I told him that it seemed to me that the New York Life Company was being struck at and l would have to think the matter over before giving him permission to examine the books of the company He went away and afterwards I decided to allow the re- quest and when the Governors repre- sentative returned. told the comptrol- Ter to give him the information"
 You did not show him the books containing the entry about these cam paign contributions?

The Fever situation.

There Is a great deal of encourage ment taken in the fever situation to- day, and the big scare has about sub sided. This is proven by the small number who reported for examination to the State Health Officer today. It had been the intention of the health officers to dispatch about eighty people north to the detention camp yesterday. One of the requisites for entrance to the camp shall be the possession of a card showing that the holder of the same had been examined, their tenn snerature and present state of health taken by the Florida State Health Ofi- cer The possession of such a certifl- cate properly signed Is absolute. The canacity at present of the camp is eighty persons. and Dr. Porter gave nublic notice through the newspapers and by means of official bulletins that such number. the first four-score of names on the registration list, should ranort for the examination. It was stated that less than fifty were really nresent, This goes to show that Pen sacoIa neopIe are becoming reconciled "a Inc fact that there is no need of gattinp frightened at a yellow fever ranort and are also cogni2ant of the fact that typhoid which does not ex- ist here and malaria. which Is very scarce are far more dangerous than the formerly dreaded yellow scourge. PeonIe are going about their business in many lines of business as If noth- tng had happened. and the former man. ner of dodging a district wherein a case of fever is reported has about been abandoned.
