among investing interests in purchas- ing securities of railroad companies when their only source of revenue-the payment they receive for transporta- tion-is subject to possible political in- fuence. So far as the tariff is con cerned, best advices indicate that no radical legislation will be attempted that is, legislation that would require the construction of an entirely new set of tariff schedules. Whatever is ac- complished will, have reason to be lieve be in the direction of reciprocal arrangements with foreign countries; the German situation. for instance. being one requiring prompt action in order that our exporters may not suf- fer from Germany's new tariff, which, in the absence of action by our own government, will initiate very strong ly against the farmers and manufac- turers of this country. Secretary Shaw recently announced that for the cur rent fiscal year, i. e., since July 1, cus- toms receipts are nearly six millions ahead of the same period last year, and that there is also an increase of $1,- 5oO,000 in internal receipts. As our imports show every sign of maintain ing their present record the question of tariff legislation resulting from rev enue exigencies is becoming of less and less importance.

Enough O-glycerine was used to crack three safes. and the report of the explosion was heard all over the town. All but three of the win dow panes in the front of the store building were blown out and the glasses in the postOliiee boxes were shattered. The safe was empty. the combination having been lost, and an expert was to have come to-day to open it.
 Assistant Postmaster Philip ROcka- feIlpr said that none of the mail mat ter had been disturbed. The burglars secured 50 cents in cash and g worth of postage stamps from the money drawer. A score of residents who were awakened by the explosion hast enpd to the main street. where they saw four of the burglars running in fine direction of Lambertville.

Only few days ago a great conven- tion was held in Chicago. It was called for the purpose of finding some way to increase our trade with foreign countries, and reciprocity was the topic discussed. According to the enthusias- tic speakers on the occasion, reciprocity is to prove the great cure-all for our commercial life, but there is snag in the way at Washington. Reciprocity can be had only by treaty; the only treaty making power is the president, and his treaties are of no avail unless submitted to and ratified or confirmed by the senate. Now everybody knows that the United States senate is very obstinate body of men. Its members are good men and nearly all may be classed as great men, but they are also obstinate men. The president has a very we'll defined streak of obstinacy. Only few months ago he negotiated several reciprocity treaties, but they did not meet with any very great favor at the hands of the senators, and he has been quoted as declaring with more than his ordinary vehemence that he would never submit another to the senate. He also declared the same ir regard to arbitration treaties and So far as is known he has not yet ex- rerienced a change of heart. Now, if the president is stubborn and will not negotiate treaties and the senate is ob- stinate and will not confirm, what are the political doctors to do? Holding conventions do not hurt anybody, and they do please those who get chance to make speeches.

They are having lot of trouble with the canal project, and the determina- ton of the government to go into the general storekeeping business to fur nish the laborers in the zone with enough to eat. has aroused vigorous protests from leading merchants" of Panama. These protests brought out a vigorous letter from Governor Ma goon. made public recently, in which he makes some senational statements in justification of the governments proposed step. He says that the la borers in the canal zone have been liv- ing principally on sugar cane. This was the only thing they had money enough to buy at prevailing prices. and in spite of all the efforts of the govern ment to furnish them with decent food. the local store keepers had kept up prices so that the laborers could not buy. The men were so weak from im- proper nOurlshment that their labor was very scanty and consequently ex- pensive. Therefore the only thing was to give them food at reasonable prices. and this the government promises to do. If the men are properly fed and housed and the sanitary features of the situation are attended to, which Chairman Shonts says is now a prob lem overshadowing the actual digging of the canal, there is some hope that the canal may be done in the course Of years.

Terms Of the Anglo Japanese
Treaty Are Made
Public.
NATIONS ARE CLOSELY BouNE
An Offensive and Defensive Agree
msnt Formed Japan's Prsdomi-
nant influence in Korea 10 Rscog-
nizad, 40 in England's in India.

London, Sept. 27.-The text of the
new agreement between Great Britain
and Japan, which was signed by Lord
Lansdowne,, the British foreign secre-
tary, and Baron Hayashi, the Japan.
ese minister to Great Britain, on Aug.
81, was issued by the foreign office
late last evening. The momentous
document is brief one. comprising
less than eight hundred words, in
Guiding eight articles and preamble.
Accompanying the agreement is a
covering letter from Lord Lansdowne
to the British ambassadors at st. Pet
ersburg and Paris, for transmission
to the Russian and French govern
ments respectively, in which the for
eign secretary courteously reviews
the agreement and carefully points
out that the new defensive alliance
is not intended as a menace, but
rather as guarantee of peace and
prosperity in the far east I'M which
all countries may participate.
The main features Of the new
agreement have already been fore
casted in The Associated Press dis
patches from London and Paris. The
pithy articles of the official text, how
ever, bring out forcefully the treplen-
dous importance to both countries of
this alliance, which practically makes
Great Britain Japan and Japan Great
Great Britain for the purposes of de-
Tense sin the regions of east Asia and
India" This conclusion of India spe-
officially as point at which any ag-
erosion by foreign power will call
for the assistance of Japan finds much
favor with the press Of London, the,
morning papers, in long, laudatory ar
ticles welcoming the new and more
extensive alliance of the two insular
Kingdoms west and east, as giving i'm
mediate relief from the dangerous
thunder cloud which for so many years
has hung over the Indian frontier.
