New York, March 22.-At the end OF
a lecture on Japan and Great Britain"
at Carnegie Hall. by DR.. Toykichi
Iynoga, of Chicago University. he was
asked by a man In. the audience what
Great Britain would do II the United
States should send fleet and take
away any OF Japan's possessions. DR..
Iynoga replied that In view Of the Of
sensive and defensive alliance whici,
Great Britain, signed with Japan at
Portsmouth in 1905. Great Britain
would be placed In . very embarrassing
position.
The cloud which was towering over
Japan and the United States" said DR..
1ynoga. has been completely dispelled
by the treaty which was signed by the
two nations last month. The talk OF a
war between the United States and
Japan Is sheer nonsense"
DR.. Iynoga prophesied that within
fifty years tho japanese would be as
tall as any nationa1Kies.
"In the feudal days the japanese used
to squat on the door. tailor fashion.
which prevented tie Cow OF blood in

Mexico City. Mexico. March %. -
Thirty-six hours after the arrival at the
capitol Of Minister Limantour. the man
heralded ~ the one who would bring
peace to Mexico. there was evidenced
no sign Of any cessation OF hostilities.
Minister Limantour has had long
conversations with the president since
his return. but no announcement has
been made. It IL possible that state
ment will be made. but unless two
things are agreed to there is little hope
OF peace. according to. local opinion.
both government and evolutionary.
Unless the government agrees to
provide for another national election
and agrees to permit the rebels to re-
tain their arms while carrying out a
truce there can be nothing but con-
tinuation Of the fighting. according to
the rebels. Many men entirely loyal
to the federal government also believe
this 10 true.
