UNCLESAM'SINTERESTS
RUSSIAN PAPERS OPINION OF
ANGLO-JAPANESE ALLIANCE.

ST. PETERSBURG, April 29.-The No
vosti today devotes a leading article to the
discussion in the British press as to the
advisability of the United States joining the
Anglo-Japanese alliance, especially refer
ring TO the statement made by a leading
London daily that the United States has
virtually been party to the alliance since
the beginning.
The Novosti maintains that while SEN
timent in the United States seems to have
favored Japan during the war, the at
titude of the American government has
been strictly correct and the people of
America are beginning to realize that Japan
is Americas most dangerous competitor,
pointing out that even if Japan no longer
covets the Philippine Islands, her COM
mercial competition would make such an
alliance impossible. Continuing the No
Vosti says:
IF in England renewal of the alliance
is meeting with opposition the United
States assuredly must steer clear of joining
a combination which would still further
strengthen Japans prestige. The United
States probably will be content with the
practical advantages reapable from the war
which American diplomacy will take care
to clinch, but the United States government
will hardly care to place the republic un-
der obligations, the advantage of which, to
say the least, are doubtful"

GONE TO EUROPE.
Current Rumors Attendant on Auditor
McCardy's Departure.

j. J. McCardy, auditor of the Post Office
Department, sailed today for Europe. to be
gone perhaps two months He left for New
York Thursday and turned over the office
TO the care of N. L. Chew, deputy auditor,
who will act as auditor during the absence
of Mr.. McCardy.
II has been rumored that Mr. McCardy is
taking this means to gradually separate
himself from the service, yet no actual
foundation can be found for that phase of
the case.
1t has been, however, felt for some time
that the office of auditor in the government
service was not particularly attractive to
Mr.. McCardy. and the belief has been ex-
pressed that he would leave the service as
soon as he could in justice to his office and
the administration take such a step.
For several years he acted as the auditor
of ST. Paul, Mimi, during which time he
made notable record efficient fiscal
officer and endeared himself to the people
of that city for his great work in bettering
the financial conditions of the municipality.
After his retirement there he was asked
to assume the duties of auditor for the Post
Office Department for the Treasury Depart
ment, taking the place made vacant by the
resignation of Capt Henry A. Castle.
This position he assumed January 22, 1904,
and has continued in it since that time.

ST. PETERSBURG, April 29-This city

RECIPROCITY WITH GERMANY.
Point at Issue in the Negotiations
Stated

1t is stated that the real point at issue
in the negotiations between the United
States and Germany respecting reciprocity
is whether new arrangement to replace
the existing arrangement shall be prepared
under section of the Dingley act. or
whether the negotiators shall frame COM
plete reciprocity treaty. The irst can be
done without reference to The United States
Senate, and would differ from the present
arrangement in this important fact that
whereas the present arrangement: IN its
second section grants TO all imports from
the United States the most favored nation
treatment in the matter of duties, the new
arrangement would specifically enumerate
the various American products which may
be admitted to Germany upon redpced
duties also specified.
That was the plan pursued in preparing
the French reciprocity arrangement and it
may satisfy Germany, as Ii will enable the
government to restrict considerably its favors
to be accorded American products entering
Germany, while not imposing maximum
duties upon all of them.
1t Is believed, however, that Germany
favors complete reciprocity treaty, though
the State Department has little hope of be-
ing able to induce the Senate to approve
such a convention.

SPENT RESTLESS NIGHT.
Prisoner and Sister Showed Effects of
Yesterdays Examination.


NEW YORK, April 29.-Nan Patterson
and her sister presented haggard features
and weary eyes when they took their ac-
customed places at the breakfast table in
the women's prison of the Tombs today
They had no desire for food. and drank
only a little tea. after which they returned
to their cells to await the coming of their
father
The young women had spent a restless
night. Mrs Smith was in state of great
excitement after the tremendous strain to
which she had been subjected on the wit
ness stand. where she had made a hard
night to free her sister from the charge of
killing Young.
Mrs Smith seemed on the verge Of hys-
terics during the night and would have suf-
fered more acutely but for the presence of
her sister, who constantly sought to soothe
her. Mrs. Smith has not the phlegmatic
temperament of her sister and seemed to
realize more than Miss Patterson the posi-
tion in which the accused young women
was placed by the disclosures of yesterday.
Matrons in the Tombs have never seen a
woman in a similar situation TO Miss Pat
terson regard IL with such calmness.
That the lawyers for Miss Patterson
should decide to call no witnesses in her
behalf and go to the jury without explain
ing away the damaging facts adduced by
Mr. Rand in the closing hours of the trial
occasioned no surprise to those who have
followed the hearing.
The district attorney had said repea tedly
that with the Smiths within reach the whole
complexion of the case would be changed.
Truth OF this was furnished in the fact
that no defense will be offered. 1t is gen
orally believed that when MIR Rand sums
up ne will make the most possible OF the
fact that the testimony of Julia Smith
fatty coutradicts that of Miss Patterson
during the last trial. Counsel for Miss Pat
terson strongly maintain that the prosecu-
tlon has utterly failed to make out a case
and that their client will certainly go free.
