Have We Been Euchred?

From the San Francisco Argonaut.
 The treaty between Japan and Rus s:a is about a month old. Although it's precise terms are secret 1t was avow- cdly framed to sustain the retention of Manchuria and Mongolia. Russia must come to the support of Japan, and Ja- pan must come to the defense of Rus sia. The two countries are thus sym dicated in far eastern policies and must be looked upon as unit. Whai ever is done by one will be sustained by the other, and the policies of one are the policies of both. When we re- member the aggression of which China has already been the victim we can ha rdly wonder that she should show q fresh attack of nerves at so unholy a combination of her enemies. q com hination obviously directed against herself.
 Fortunately there is reason to believe ttat Washington is awake to the sit uation. For there is a situation. The Chinese. and especially the Manchurian,

depose him. Doubtless the threat of Impeachment would have been executed but the problem of policy remained The partisan attitude of the President of the United States was decisive against the movement.
 The governor, impelled by influences over which he had no control. sent for the sheriff of Montgomery county. who was the Austrian. discharged from the ranks of the United States army, Paul Strobach. He instructed the sheriff to take charge of the senate chamber and the hall of the house of representatives and ito hold the same subject to my lthe governor's) order" The seizure was to be made immediately. The gov ernor made full explanation to the sherin that he was head of the whole eonstabulary of the state. Strobach had been impressed already with ths seriousness. of the pending situation In prudence, he sought out Hon. David Clopton, a famous lawyer Mir Clop- ton advised his ellen that the governor possessed no power to disperse the leg islature and z if the sheriff obeyed the order he had received, 1t would be at his own hazard.
 Strobach resolved upon mild course of action. the governor having mean time pressed him. He entered the sen ate chamber and posed in a hesitating way, intending to excuse himself by repeating the order from his chief In broken English he performed his part. MT. Cobb of Shelby promptly moved that Doorkeeper Pat Doran be ordered to arrest the intruder and hold him for further instruction. The arrest was made. Several hours later the pris- oner asked to be permitted to see Sena- tor Cobb. He entered a request to lie allowed to apologize to the senate. The senate, upon being informed of the in- cident, ordered the prisoner to be re- leased. It was now that Gen. W. w. Allen, distinguished Confederate cav airy leader. was appointed sergeant-at- arms of the senate
 While the scene with the sheriff was ip progress. the governor sent for Cap tain Weir to report with his men. When the soldier discovered what was expected of him, the dispersion of the legislature. he promptly refused. Ills duty was, he said, to keep the peace and not to set up or pull down a party to political dispute. He returned his men to camp
 In the time of the dual legislatures the governor ordered the court room body to be paid a per diem from the state treasury Citizens of Montgom- cry and doubtless citizens elsewhere in the state made up purse to assist members of the capitol legislature to meet personal expenses.
 The day following the Strobach cpl sode, the governor sent 4 note Into tho senate chamber addressed to "Dr. R. II. Erwin, President, and Democratic Mem bers of the Legislature, meeting at the Capitol. The messenger in the case was "a little boy about as tall as a walking stick" He said he had re- ceived "a long telegram" from the At torney General of the United States, that would settle the trouble in Ala bama.

WILL NOT PENAL|ZE
 THE CONTRACTOR
Majors Failed to Complete New Capitol Wing on
 Agreed Time

Montgomery. November e0.-(Special)-- The final meeting probably which the present capitol building commission will hold met this afternoon In the office of Governor o,NeaI. where. there was, n full attendance of the members. The chief question under consideration was whether o. not the commission should penalize k. E. L. Majors. contractor for the new cap itol wing, for failure to complete the building according to contract.
 The contract called for the completion Of the building by January l, but owing to numerous delays in the delivery of material the new wing was not completed until a few months ago. While the buiid- ing was in process of erection several of the state offlces were located in the Bell building, in the downtown district. and the question before tho board was whetner or not the commission should charge against Contractor Majors the amount of the rent which the state paid for the maintenance of the downtown offices from the time which the contract called for the completion of the building to the actual time of completion.
 The commission finally decided that in asmuch as MT. Majors had done excellent work on, the new wing that no penalty she uld be assessed.
 The entire capitol commission was pres ent. including Governor oNeal, Attorney General Robert C. Bricken Secretary of State Cyrus B. Brown, State Auditor C. l.. Brooks Smith, Chief Justice J. R.

 That the republican party has been of progress from the beginning cannot be disputed, and if 1t should go out Of ex- istenee now to be replaced by hero wor- shiping party, 1t would be a menace to the nation, and there could be nothing gained by 1t as there must be two great parties in this country to hold each other ir check.

trade is of incalculable importance to America. To secure a share of that trade was the inspiration of all Amer jean policies toward China, and to this end the integrity of China, the right of China to be impartial in trade matters, was the foundation of the diplomacy of MT. Hay and of all who have fol- lowed him. That those policies are challenged by the new treaty there can be no question.
