New Alliance Alarms England.

London, Jan. Ga new alliance,
with Russia and Germany working
hand in hand. is alarming England
today. According to the Evening
Times, which published what purports
to be the text of the Russian-German
agreement regarding Persia, under the
terms OF the document, Germany is to
have the preference in the development
OF Asia Minor.
German capital is to be given the
opportunity OF financing the net work
of railroads which are to be constructed
there. 1t had been understand that
Russia and England we're to work to-.
gether in the construction Of these
improvements and that in the partition
OF Persia, which it has been admitted
for some time is sure to come, Eng
land was to get the lions share OF the
territory.
In this connection the Times says:
UNLESS secret reservations, which is to
be doubted the completioniof the Russo
German agreement marks the breaking
up of the triple entente composed OF
Eussia, France and England. 1t has
been always been understood that Rus
STA would never deal with Germany
under any circumstances. Under the
old understanding between Russia,
France and England, it was understood
that England vas to construct and
maintain the suggested railroad line
from England TO tho Persian Gulf and
that French capital was to complete the
road from Mesopotamia to the Medi-
terrenean.
There can be no reason, now that
Germany has cut into the pic, that the
situation is greatly complicated. Ger
many and Russia working together.
the balance OF power is upset.

Abruzzl Elkins Marriage Negotiations.

Abruzzi Elkins Marriage Negotiations.
Rome. Jan. 6.-That the death OF
United States Senator S. B. Elkins will
probably result in the marriage of his
daughter, Miss Katherine, and the
Duke OF Abruzzi is the opinion of the
Italian press voiced today. 1t is
pointed out that one of the chief oh
stacles in the way of the wedding was
the alleged demand of the West Vir-
ginia millionaire that he be elevated to
princely rank SO that he might attend
social functions in Italy and not be
forced to take an unassuming position
because Of the fact that he was simply
an American millionaire.
The demand, it is said, cnraged the
members of the royal household who
we're admirers OF Miss EIkins, but
laughed at the pretensions of her father.
Washington, Jan. 6.-Dispatches
from Rome today indicating that the
death of Senator Elkins would revive
the famous marriage negotiations be-
tween Miss Katherine Elkins and the
Duke of the Abruzzl were given credit
here today.
1t is believed that the firm stand OF
Senator Elkins against 4 morganatic
marriage was one OF the greatest
barriers in the way OF the romance.
The king OF Italy told Abruzzi that as
q possible heir to the throne, he could
contract only morganatic marriage
with the American girl. The Duke
argued with Senator Elkins, pointing
out that the possibility OF his becoming
king was so remote rs to insue that
the morganatic marriage would never
be other than an unconditional wed.
ding.
One OF Senator Elkins' friends in
telling OF this incident today declared
that Elkins answered the Duke rs
follows:
mo Never The man who marrics
my daughter must marry her without
reservations l will not listen to such a
propositions!
1t is known that Mrs. Eikins greatly
favored the suit OF the Duke and it is
believed here that after the expiration
OF the natural period OF mourning, the
negotiations will he revived. Senator
Elkins's friends absolutely denied that
he ever demanded elevation to royal
rank.

FRIDAY EVENING. JAN. 6
HARpER's WEEKLY recently contain.

HARpER's WEEKLY recently contain
ed the following:
There is no doubt that the country
was surprised when the president made
a southerner and a former Confederate
soldier chief justice and nominated
another southern democrat for asso-
ciate Justice OF the Supreme Court. But
there is no indication that any part OF
the country became indignant or
frightened. Forty years ago such ap-
pointments would have been NEON
ceiyable. Twenty years ago rcpubil,,
can president would hardly have dareo
to make them. Even today, although
y president OF almost any persuasion
might feel free to disregard sectional
lines in appointing to such high places
to cross party lines SO freely is not so
common, and it is doubtful if any re-
publican president we have yet hau
would have been, under the clrcum-
stances, drawn so strongly southwark
as President Taft was. His freedom
from partisanship and his disregard OF
sectional feeling are both rather strik-
ing. Prehaps his own experience on
the bench and his clearly announced
position on federal iudgeships sufficient
" explain the former. His attitude
toward the south can be explained only
by deliberate purpose, formed either
before his election or very soon after 1t,
and firmly adhered TO. For he has ap-
parently determined to DO all that he
can do consistently with his other
duties to make the south like the rest
of the country and TO make 1t feel u
self like the rest OF the country IN It's
relations. to the national government.
For while politicians Naturally sup
posed that his sole object was to make
gains in the south for his party, ana
that no doubt does seem to HIM a
thing entirely desirable. But such
gains as his party had made in that
quarter were practically wiped out by
the recent. elections. 1t will not have
another chance for two years TO come.
Vet the president goes on treating the
South Just as he did in the beginning.
His really controlling motive 10 tins
matter is that OF statesman, nota
politician.
