DISAGREEMENT HOLDS UP
COMMITTEE STEEi :.EPoRT
Objection Raised BY Representative
Littleton to Part Regarding
Big Deal.

The Stanley steel committee seems to
be no nearer conclusion as to the re-
port to be submitted to the House than 1t
was several days ago. when announce
ment was made that hearings before the
committee were at an end. The commit
tee went into protracted session last
night In an attempt to agree on features
of the report, but without success. The
main difficulty Is over the section Of the
repot written by Representative Stanley
of Kentucky regarding the absorption of
the Tennessee Coal and Iron Company in
1907 by the United States Steel corpora
ton. 1t is understood that Representative
Martin Littleton of New York Is bitterly
opposed to Representative stanley's con-
clusions.
Some features OF the report upon which
the committee is agreed include bills for
remedial legislation, particularly that

Asked on redirect examinati ton what he
meant by his reply as to his beliefs, Stef-
fens said that he was worse than an an
archist, in the sense that he was more
radical. for, while anarchy demanded JUS

charity in addition.
Time after time Prosecutor Fredericks
sought to have the witness say that the
elimination of the Mcnamara case was
caused by the arrest of Bert Franklin for
bribery and as often Stcffens insisted

IN DEFENSIVE ALLIANCE
Agreement Reached in Refer.

ing defensive alliance between Russia
and japan. This momentous development
would seem to be connected with the ap-
preaching trip to Russia OF the Japa.
nese statesman. Prince katsura. but his
visit is mere coincidence. The actual
agreement was fully concluded a fort
night ago and likely will be signed for
Japan by Baron Motono, the Japanese
amba ssador to Russia. who was Its ne
gotiator and prime mover.
The agreement consists of two parts.
one dealing with the delmitation of the
spheres OF influence OF Russia and Japan
in Mongolia and Manchuria. which is
similar in scope and character to the
Anglo-Russiar accord of August 81. 1907
regarding Persia, etc. The second part
deals with the duty Of the two powers
for joint defense in case either power
is attacked.
Dates Back to Iswolsky.
The commencement of the present
erapprochementd dates back
to the days of Foreign Minister Iswolsky.
1t is "A matter of common knowledge
that Japanese diplomacy unremittingly
has urged upon Russia the immense
value Of such close cooperation as
now has been established, especially
since Great Britain and Russia drew
together and made it feasible and
logical.
Nevertheless Russia naturally hung
back. and every step taken toward COM
pleting the alliance was under the COM
pulsion of other events. Thus the
Russo-Japanese agreement OF July =,
1910. providing FOR the maintenance
was direct result of the ill-fated
naturalization scheme for the Man
churian railroads. and the present one
was the outcome Of long muddle.
which taught both powers the necessity
for a close union of forces.
Amplifcation of Treaty.
LONDON, July 20-The Daily Tele-
graphs Picking correspondent asserts that
tho new Russo-Japanese agreement Is an
ampliffcation and consolidation OF the
treaty of Portsmouth between Russia
and Japan. According to the correspond
ent. articles to 8 will be virtually ex-
plunged and restated In a form confirming
to Japan her Liaotung peninsula
lease. allowing both signatories greater
military freedom In their respective
spheres, precluding neutral nations from
engaging in Manchurian development and
sanctioning the building of new
strategic railway.
Japan, says the correspondent, will
have confirmed all of her territory south
of parallel A, east longitude 116. giving
her paramount influence over and en-
abling her to dominate Picking, while
Russia will have complete liberty Of
action in all of the Chinese territory to

formally accepts the Russian twelve
mile limit in territorial water and sup
ports the construction by Russia of the
