Washington, Feb, 22. There is
no ddubt but that the goyern
, ment has been fully cognizant of
'-the move between England and
Japap to form a practical alliance
CbinaJind Corea, and that the
announo?aent was thebasia for
the vigorous AmericanWotest,
made recently to Russia, against
the proposed secret" compact' be
tween Russia and China, which
would give ' over Manchuria
- through the Russo-Chinese Bank,
which is a Russian government
instiution.
After the protest of all the
countries having commercial in
terest in China against , the Rus
sian tn aty. Russia 4 apparently
decided to do nothing more on
that line. Then came the news
of a secret compact on the Russo
Chinese Bank agreement. The
United States. England and Jap
an protested. Russia, whien has
made no direct answer, diplooiize.
It is to the interest of America
to keep China open to American
commerce. She can take no part
in the alliance with Great Brit
ain or any other country, but
will undoubtedly give Great Brit
ain and Japan their moral sup
port in their alliance.
Senator Beveridge says: "If
the alliance has really been for
mally made between England and
Japan, which will actually be
.maintained "by force, it means to
much and involves such' serious
consequences that I feel it iuap

Uolls, a member of the peace con
ference at The Hague, says : 4 'It
is a very imortaut agreement. I
say its greatest Importance is in
showing a friendship between
Japan and England. From the
summary read I shculdn not say
that it is directed against any
particular power. The effect
will be to increase the British
prestige for the east, and empha
size the importance of Japan as
one of the civilized countries of
the world. The agreement is
strongly conducive to peace in
China." r
: Loudon, Feb. 12. The British
press and public are astounded
at the England-Japan compact.
The press without hesitation is
pronouncing the treaty sensation
al, though it is likely to ; eet
, with approval. Whether- the ob
ligations involved are not greater
than the benefits conferred is the
question today. All sides of Jthe
treaty were regarded as a direct
move against Russia. There is
I the keenest anxiety to learn the
I feeling in America ou the matter.

and his cross-examination was

Rice's lungs was due in his opin

form or some like irritant. ! The
witness said he knew of no natural
cause of death that could have
caused the symptoms shown by
the autopsies on Rice's body.
John R. Potts, a lawyer, said
that he had known Patrick since
1&70. They became intimate in
1890. On September 17thr . 1900,
Patrick said: "That -rich old
clientof mine has made a will,
naming me a residuary legatee."
On the same day he showed Potts
an assignment of Rice's property,
a paper showing the settlement of
the contest of Mrs,j Rice's will and
other papers, among them several
checks in blank signed with Rice's
name and payable to Patrick.

saying that that' portion of the
country had left the question of
the right of secession of the State
to be decided by arms; that he
recognized that the south failed
to make two republics grow in
this country where only one grew
before, and that, therefore, it was
its duty to do everything in its
power to make the one republic
grow grander and greater than
ever before. -
As to the Spanish-American
war, he said he was satisfied very
soon after bis arrival in Cuba
that the Spaniards could not
quell the Cuban insurrection for
some years and that tha Cuban
could not drive the Spanish sol
