relations between France and Japan during the Russo-Japanese war when France stretched her neutrality to the limit in favor of her ally by allowing Rojestvensky's fleet shelter for weeks in Cameron bay. So keenly did the French government at this time feel that it may have given just cause for reprisal that after peace was made by the treaty of Portsmouth and Japanese entered the market for a 300, 0,0O0, GOO yen loan, M. Rouvier, then minister of f. nance, deliberately brayed the dissatis- faction Russia by insisting upon the admission of part of the loan to the Paris bourse To those who complain ed that it would constitute an affront to Frances alley he replied substan- tially:
 "We must think of France first. It is cheap insurance for Indo-China,"
 M. Pinchon was possessed by the same idea when M. Kurino, the Japan csc ambassador, approached him last winter relative to the latest Japanese 800, ,OOO, ,OOO franc issue. He wanted to know if Japan was prepared to give a written promise guaranteeing Indo- China. M. Kurino replied that Japan had absolutely no aggressive intentions and offered to consult his government That conversation was the germ of the negotiations which have resulted in the convention just consun1mated.

tcient development, the elections to the dume must be temporarily suspended.
 All these electoral notifications could not have been introduced in the customary legislative way by the duma, whose composition is recognized by us to be unsatisfactory, by reason of the improvisation of the procedure for the election of members of the duma. It Is only to the power which gave the first electoral law the historic power of the czar, that right of abrogating that law and replacing it by a new law belongs. God has given us the power of the czar over our people. It is before His throne We shall answer for the destinies of the Russian state. Believing this we have made firm resolution to carry on to the very end the great work begun by us of the reformation of Rusisa. We give Russia new electoral law, and order it's promulgation in the senate.

HE WILL NOT INTERVENE OPERATORS APPEAL.
 President Roosevelt Refers Them to Labor Com missioner Neill.

OysterBay, N. r., June 16.-President Roosevelt has referred to Charles F. NeiI commissioner of labor, without comment the various appeals which have been made to him by wire and mall to intervene to prevent the threat ened telegraphers strike.
 The position is taken that no emer- gency exists such as obtained at the same time the president interVened in the anthracite coal strike, but on the contrary, the situation presented is one where action by the government, if talk en at all, may properly be initiated and directed by the bureau of labor, of which Mir. Neill is the head.
 Attention is also called to the fact that MT. Neill has on his own initia- tive acted with more or less success in several recent strikes, simply by making an investigation and bringing to light the salient facts in the con- troveries, his report being the basis on which an agreement was later reached.
 Whether he will feel justified in pur- suing the same course in the present instance is not conjectured on here as the president has given MT Neill no in- tifration of any kind

NEW TRIPLE ALLIANCE.
France, spain ans Great Britain in se-
 ries of Alliances.

France, Spain ana Great Britain in se-
 ries of Alliances.
 Paris, June 16-The news of the signing of treaties by France and Spain and Great Britain ana Spain. mutually guaranteeing the integrity of their re- spective coasts and their insular and colonial possessions in the East Atlan- tic and Mediterranean, and which was immediately officially denied, was ful- ly confirmed to-day by M. Pichon, min- ister of foreign affairs, himself The fact that he had not, at the time the news was published, communicated with the powers led to it's denial.
 The preliminary pourparlers, which have been crowned by the creation of this new triple alliance, had its birth at Algeciras. where France and Spain became imbued with the idea of a nlu- tual guaranty for the status quo of their littorals and dependencies such as Algeria. Tunis. the Canaries, etc., as the best means of assuring the con- tinuance of their peaceful development.
 As soon as the terms of the Franco Spanish accord were settled Spain opened pourparlers for an identical agreement with Great Britain whereby British holdings, such as Gibraltar and Malta, might be made equally secure.
 The text of the three-cornered agree ment thus resulting will shortly be published. No general military coD- vention accompanies the arrangement, but provision is made in case of corn- pllcations to assure freedom of commu- nication with the mother lands to the respective territories included in the agreement.
 The double arrangement, although quite distinct as between France and Spain and Great Britain and Spain, is Identical in terms. It is regarded here as fitting complement to similar en- tentes between Great Britain and France and France and Japan.
