QUADRUPLE ALLIANCE.
Russia and France to Unite With
Japan and England.

Chicago, March pa dispatch to the
Tribune from Washington says:
Official and diplomatic Washington
is deeply interested in report emanat7
ing from official sources that Japan
and Russia are paving the way to an
offensive and defensive alliance, IN
which Great Britain and France will
participate. If 1t be true it will be the
biggest diplomatic coup which has oc-
CURED since the alliance between Eng
land and Japan, which made the Russo
japanese war possible For the recent
enemies it will mean that the armed
truce which now exists will give way
to a permanent peace in connection with
the fSr east.
The irritating attitude of the Ameri-
can Pacific slope towards the Japanese
hos caused statesmen of the mikado's
empire to reckon with the possibility of
the United States as an enemy and to
deal firmly with this country 1t is nee
essary that Russia should be converted
into a friend. This is an additional
argument used in support of the report
that Russia and japan are about to
become allies.
