ANGL0-JAPANESE ALLIANCE.
The Nichi Nichi, of Toxic, Says Ja-
pan Has n Right to Call Upon
Great Britain.

Toxic, May 1.-THE Nichi Nichi,
discussing French neutrality, says that
Japan has right demand of Great
Britain that she carry into practice
the provisions Of the Anglo-Japanese
alliance. French duplicity," the Nj
chi Nichi says, affords the OCCASION"
Continuing, the Nichi- Nichi de-
clares that the assistance given Vice
Admiral Rojestvensky is clear breach
of neutrality and violation of a def
mite pledge given to Japan.
The Nichi Nichi says further:
Japan is justified in assuming that
France is deliberately assisting Russia
Frances position as Russia's ally is
entitled to some sympathy, but after
France gave definite pledge nothing
remains to exonerate France from the
charge of duplicity.
Japan never suspected that the
French Republic would be guilty of
double dealing. The prestige of France
as a champion of civilization demands
that she correct her attitude and exon
crate herself of the charge of baseness."
In conclusion the Nichi Nichi says:
Let France either publicly range
herself on the side OF Russia or man
fully adhere to the principle of strict
neutrality"

Mr.. CH0ATE HIGHLY HONORED
ihc American Ambassador Formal
ty Called to the Bench of the
Middle Temple.

London, May 1O.-Ambassadoi
Choate was formally called to the
bench Of the Middle Temple Tuesday
night. The ceremony was strictly pri-
vate, not even members of the Other
inns of court being present. The func-
ton took the form of an ordinary din
ner in the old dining hall which Queen
Elizabeth opened in 1870, and in which,
before Queen Elizabeth, Shakespeare
acted GAS You Like It."
Several rules were suspended In
honor of the American ambassador.
The members, fully robed, took up
places about bare oaken tables, and the
benchers filed in, Mr.. Choate leading
the parade, though the newest member
is usually last. The benchers passed
down the center of the assembly to a
raised table. The usual simple meal
was served. The benchers afterwards
retired to the parliament chamber fol
dessert, Mr. Choate this time walking
last. AS he passed the members table
the assembly cheered continuously
many old lawyers in their enthusiasm
jumping on top Of the wooden tables.

FRANCE DEFENDS HERSELF
Response to Japan's Charges of
Breach of Neutrality.
Japan Charged With Doing in Phil.
ippines and Dutch Indies What
She Accuses France OF.

Paris, May IA semi-official state
ment from high sources was published,
Thursday, giving Frances position in
reply to Japan's charges of breaches
Of neutrality. One of the headings is:
Japan has done in the Philippines
and Dutch Indies the same as she ac-
cuses France of doing in Indo-China."
The conclusions are set forth as
being:
"First-the French neutrality regula-
tons were not established for the
present war, but existed previously
without protest from Japan.
"Second-France has exercised her
sovereignty to fulfill the regulations
not only to the full letter, but has also
adopted special measures to maintain
absolute impartiality.
"Third-The only direct purchases of
coal by the Russians were at Algiers,
where the quantity was Insignificant.
The main stock of coal was purchased
in Germany and England without pro-
test.
"Fourth-Any advantages which the
Russian second Pacific squadron OBJ
tanned by anchoring off the French
coast were equally open to the Jap
anese If they had taken the offensive
instead of awaiting the Russians"

MONEY IN GREAT BRITAIN.

The income tax in Great Britain Is
levied on $3,5OO,OO0,OO0 of annual in
come, and produces $155,000,000 Of
revenue for the government
From money invested abroad alone
Great Britain's capitalists probably re-
ceive $1,000, 100000 year of income,
though no one can tell exactly.
That is only s244 year for each
person If it were equally divided. 1t
isn't. Less than 100000 persons have
more than half the total income.
1t is probable that the total of pri-i
vate incomes, great and small, in the
United States is over s25,000,00 900,
though the sum cannot be SO closely,
estimated as in the island kingdom.
If Mr. Gibsen Bowles is right in
saying that only one-third of the ma
tional income pays the tax, the total
of incomes of the united kingdom
must be $1O,5OO, 100000, sum almost
inconceivably vast.

New York, May 13.-Bradstreet's
weekly review says:
Wholesale trade for fall delivery has
been stimulated by good public and
private reports as to winter wheat, but
heavy rains and continuously cool
weather have interfered with retail
trade, except in few sections, and I'M
questionably retarded corn and cotton
planting, which appears to be one to
two weeks late. Spring wheat seed
ing, however, has been finished, and
the increased acreage, helped by album
dant moisture has had a good start.
The iron trade displays increased quiet
in the cruder forms with price conces-
sions offered. Buyers display hold
off tendency. Finished trade reports
are good, because of large orders pre-
vously booked and owing to the re-
ceipts Of additional good orders for
rails and structural material. The
building trades, as heretofore, offer an
immense outlet for lumber, hardware
and building materials generally.

duced as "The apostle from the Phil

railway rate legislation must come;
that if the railway men of the country
were wise they would aid and not
hinder it; that the sentiment of the
country is such that failure of proper
regulation meant campaign on the
subject that would do no good to the
railroads.
Absolute silence reigned as Secretary
