'Mrs. Bates has received visit from
Mr.. Bax," said Miss Dalrymple, with a
feminine suavity that / could not too
much admire; ''and she was equally can
did and outspoken with him. Were you
not?"
Il were, miss. I do not wish to sell
myself, though untold gold were offered.
l am an honest woman, and no one has
ever righteously accused me otherways."
Surely Mr.. Bax has not been attempt

tone of indignation. mo one who knows

knew the woman. She was one of
those who are continually fancying them
selves suspected; if they find a lost half
penny or a stray stick of sealing wax they
will think it is laid out to tempt them"
and l will add that women of this kind
are as a rule the most to be suspected.
Il told Mr.. Bax why l left DR.. Aw-

Bates; land am not ashamed of owning

"Of course he would have been very
glad to get you out of the way, as II you

But 1 were not going. DR.. Audrey

And why did you give him warning?"

perated her to further rambling; but
when she had repeated all her facts half
a dozen times, and l saw there was no
more to be got out of her, l rose and
said:
That is enough for to-day, ma'am;
but l have no doubt you will repeat all

She glorlfed her own steadfastness and
sense Of rectitude, and so went away.
Miss Dairymple had sunk into a chair,
and met my gaze with look of detection.
She was evidently disappointed that
had not persuaded Mrs. Bates from her
adverse opinion.

CBINO,JAPAYESE ANTAGONISTS

The estrangement between the two great
MongOlian powers appears to be increasing. It
was manifested during the Russo-Japancsc
War when some Japanese policies and per
formances in Manchuria were strongly re
Srntcd 1t has increased since the return Of
peace through such incidents that OF the
HSin- -Mn-Tun and FakumPn ia ilrOad, the Japan
eSe inSiStence upon exclusive mail carrying
rights in some parts of China and the dispute
over the Corean boundary 1t has recently been
brought dangerously near 10 3 crisis by the
seizure and enforced release of the Tatsu-
Maru.' and now we Informed that as a So
quel 10 this latter incident widespread and
resolutc boycott of Japanese goods and Japan
eSe commerce has been organized in the great
southern provinces of China, in which bankers
merchants and coolies alike are joining. and
upon which the authorities appear TO look with
tolerance if not with sympathy and approval.
That it will lead 10 violent breach OF friendly
relations between the two countries is not to he
anticipated. hut that it is creating a marked
popular antagonism between them and is
diminishing all prospects of anything like a
coalition can scarcely be denied
Upon this state of affairs the United States
looks with contrasting variety of sentiments.
From one point Of view it regards it with in
difference. or with only academic interest since
this country IS in no way responsible for or
concerned in the dissensions, and of course has
not the slightest thought of taking the side of
either against the other. II is the friend of
both but the ally of neither. From another
point Of view it regards the anita agonism be
tween its neighbors with regret, because its
feelings toward them both are entirely benevO-
lent and it would prefer TO see them good
friends with each other rather than enemies.
From a third point of view America may look
upon the matter with a certain degree of not
at all malicious satisfaction as a vlndication
of an American theory of international rea-
tions and as a refutation of the worst preten-
sions of the yellow peril alarmists--that is,
as a demonstration OF the fact that the Mon
golan peoples are "as common mortals" in
their international relations; even as the ma
tions of the Western world.
IL was freely prophesied by some that as an
immediate consequence of the japanese vic
tory over Russia there would be established
a certain solidarity between Japan and China
and that China would place herself Nnder the
tutelage and direction of Japan in resistance
TO, if not in aggression upon, the Western
world. There can be doubt that such 4
coalition, had il been made would have been
formidable. But it has not been made There
has been no perceptibe step toward it. We
nave not been able TO detect even so much as
desire for it, ut any rate on the part of
China. On the contrary, there has been a con-
stantly increasing spirit of iistrust and antago-
nism between the two, until there can be no
question that each regards the other as several

period is not favorable to wise financial legisla-
tion The country will profit by further cur
repcv education. In the last few months of dis
,IIssion it has achieved notable progress. 1t has
at least made up it's mind what it does not want.
II does not want a currency the supply pf which
would depend on the bond market and not on
the country's need Of currency. 1t does not
want its currency to be used TO promote bond
speculation nor TO stimulate an era of municpai
extravaganza by giving u fictitious value 10
municipal bonds. The education has not been
carried far enough for the country 80 learn
clearly and definitely how to accomplish what 1t
does want. but currency commission and pro
longed discussion would help to clarity its view
The only practical question in Congress seems
70 be whether the appointment of a currency
commission and nothing more would satisfy pub
lie opinion. We believe il would, and, at any
rate, leaving the question open can hardly ad-

THE RESULT IN MASSACHUSETTS,

Etiquette seems 10 have carried the day in
Massachusetts, where the Republican State
Convention decided not TO consider resolutions
expressing n preference for any candidate for
the Republican Presidential nomination. The
four delegates t-large are to go to the national
convention Uminstructed, two of them being
openly in favor of the nomination or secretary
Taft and the other two expecting to hold thelr
Judgment in suspense until they reach Chicago
The platform presented and adopted contained
a statement that a number OF the committee
men who framed it were Favorable to Mr.
Taft" and that "all recognized that A majority
'of the delegates TO the convention desire his
nomination. Nevertheless, to avoid wound
ing suSceptibilitieS, further recognition OF the
desire of the majority" was deemed unwise. 1t
is considered allowable for delegates in Massa-
chusetts 10 have opinions, but not good policy
for them to express those opinions too crudey
or too explicitly.
The canvass for delegates in Massachusetts
has excited widespread interest because 1t was
thought that it would have an important bear
ing on the result at Chicago Massachusetts
is tho only state not having a "favorite son"
in which campaign was conducted more or
less avowedly hostile TO Mr.. Taft. Senator
Crane was looked TO TO check the Taft drift
and to prevent his nomination at Chicago on
the first ballot So far as the Crane campaign
was avowedly hostile TO Mr.. Taft it has failed
largely Of its purpose. although the Senator
was himself successful in escaping the neces-
sity Of going to Chicago under pledge. OF
the thirty-two delegates from Massachusetts
more than twenty viii vote for Nh Taft on the
first ballot and Mr.. Cranes influence in the
delegation viii be of Il negative rather than "A
positive character. Harmony among the lead
crs has been maintained, but the opinion of the
Republican voters of the state has been un-

Ambassador Reid Tells of the Energy Which
Surmounted Disaster

London. April 1O.-WhiteIaw Reid. the Ameri-
Ambassador to Great Britain. was the princi-
pal speaker tonight at the annual dinner OF the
Chamber of Commerce OF Luton, a town near the
ambassadors country place Wrest Park
Mr.. Reid described In interesting manner the
rebuilding of San Francisco. which he visited re-
Gently. He said the people OF San Francisco were
doing business again Sometimes they worked in
shanties while their new palaces being fin
ished. and many labored at desks made Of boards
laid across two barrels I'm rooms where carpenters
were hanging doors and painters were at work on
the walls and the windows. They were at work
with so much energy that in the month OF De-
cember after the fire the bank clearings were $50
100000 more than they in the same month
before the conhagraton.
A thing more striking than the earthquake or the
fire or the recovery from both. Mr.. Reid said was
the spirit in which these indomitable people of
San Francisco confronted the disaster and sur
mounted II. In conclusion, MIR. Reid said:
There are many things In the history OF his
country OF which an American is intensely proud
but protest that among them all there has been
nothing in fortyodd years. since the greatest civil
war OF modern times. of which have more right
10 be proud than of San Francisco in the earth

THE CURRENCY DISCrsxJ0y.

Mr.. Victor Morawetz, who appeared before
fae House Committee on Banking and Currency
against the AIdrich bill made sensible sucges
fion which Congress will 90 well TO adopt if Il
feels impelled to pass some makeshift 'emer-
cency" measure because t believes that there Is
an imperative public demand for currency IegiG
Iation- namely, shat such bill should be
limited in its operation 10 two years. In the
mean while Congress could prepare for thor
ough and scientific reform of the currency. If
this is done the bill should certainly provide for
''emergency" issues based upon bank assets, for
then the banks would really be able to get out
circulation in an emergency. If the principle Of
the Aldrich bill is adopted the banks will have
10 spend 500 bonds in order TO be able TO
lend the business community $50; that would be
feeble assistance in crisis.
But it is doubtful whether any makeshift viii
pass or should pass. The present prospects of
the Aldrich bill are bad, for the public is thor
oughly informed as TO its futility as measure
of relief I'm a crisis and as TO the dangerous char
scter of some Of its provisions. A canvass If
