Anglo-Japanese Alliance the
Outcome of His Tour.

The London Pre Generally Ap

nental Comiucut-Enthnsi-asm.
In Japan.
LONDON, Feb. 12. The Liberal after
noon newspapers view the alliance be
tween Great Britain and Japan with mixed
delight and the Conservative organs gen
erally applaud it.
The Bt. James's Gazette (Conservative)
expresses modified rapture at this wide
departure from British traditional policy,
but finds solace In the thought that the
policy and interests of the United States
are Identical with those of Great Britain
and Japan, and concludes: "Perhaps "we
shall find, when the policy of Great Brit
ain is definitely known, that the United
States is, formally or informally, a party
to the league of peace in the Far East.
At any rate, no effort should be spared
to secure Its adhesion."
The "Westminster Gazette thinks the al
liance can be fairly termed offensive and
defensive, and concludes that It, there
fore, has a dangerously -wide extension,
tmd concludes that it looks like a rather
hasty answer to European hostility.
Baron Hayashi, the Japanese Minister
here, -who signed the treaty In behalf of
Japan, in an interview published today
declares that the Anglo-Japanese treaty
was not directed specially against Russia,
but undoubtedly Manchuria was -within
Its scope. It "was 60lely meant to main
tain the status quo. The Manchurian
question, however, is at present the sub
ject of negotiations between Russia and.
the United States, representing the inter
ests of all tho other powers, and as the
Minister trusted the negotiations would
bring about a state of affairs in Manchu
ria which would not be prejudicial to the
old powers, it -was unnecessary prema
turely to discuss that question. The pres
ent treaty has no collaterals in the shape
of treaties between Japan and other pow
ers, but it does not exclude the possibility
of a similar treaty between Japan and
Russia, of course, with the full knowl
edge of Great Britain.
In the House of Commons today the op
position leader. Sir Henry Campbell-Ban-nerman.
Invited the government leader,
Mr. Balfour, to make a statement relative
to the treaty. Mr. Balfour promised to see
If any papers relating thereto could be
presented to the House, but he thought
no further statement was required, as the
documents published showed the reason
for the treaty.
The Stock Exchange hardly knew how
to take the Anglo-Japanese alliance, but
it was largely accepted as an indication
of considerable tension with Russia, and
was not regarded as a bull point for any
thing but Japanese and Chinese stocks.
The Tokio correspondent of the Dally
Mall asserts the alliance to be a direct
outcome of tho tour of the Japanese
statesman. Marquis Ito. At St. Peters
burg, cables the correspondent. Marquis
Ito sounded the possibility of an agree
ment, and certain rather exacting bases
in the suggested understanding were sub
mitted to him. The Marquis then pro
ceeded to London, and frankly told the
British Government of Russia's proposals
and intimated that If Great Britain were
disinclined to enter upon the agreement,
Japan would fall back on the Russian of
fer. These negotiations resulted in the
arrangement of a rough outline of tho
agreement and Marquis Ito notified Rus
sia of his inability to accept the propos
als. Baron Hayashi, Japanese Minister
at London, continues the correspondent,
then took the matter up and brought the
negotiations to a successful conclusion.
Influential Japanese regard the alliance
as a guarantee of peace and as a check
upon Russian ambition. The Japanese
mind is greatly Impressed by the strength
and determination Great Britain his dis
played In South Africa, and the best men
of Japan have hoped that tho visits of
Marquis Ito would result in a closer union
with Great Britain, and with Russia also,
if this is possible.
Tho Dally Mail representative in the
lobbies of Parliament has gathered the
opinions of many members of the House
of Commons regarding the alliance. On
the whole, the members of the House ap
prove this step heartily, but there are
many discordant voices on the Liberal
side of the House.
The Continental comment is almost
wholly concerned -with the effect that the
treaty will have on Russian policy in
Manchuria. Some of the Vienna papers
suggest that "Wei Hal el may be handed
over to Japan as a naval base. The Frem
denblatt, of Vienna, believes that in the
event of war between Russia and Japan
the treaty leaves Great Britain free
merely to observe neutrality.
The Dally News, in an editorial, ex
presses Its belief that tho advantages of
the treaty are almost wholly on the side
of Japan and China, and says the third
clause of the alliance might embroil Great
Britain In war in every part of the world
to help Japan.
"It Is one of the most perilous steps,"
Eays the Dally News, "taken by any gov
ernment during the present generation.
It Is a pledge to go to war -without provo
cation against any two powers at war
with Japan. This Is tho most terrible
burden of our world-wide obligations."
The London Times, In an editorial, gives
Lord Rosebery credit for laying the foun
dation eight years ago for the Anglo
Japanese alliance, which, therefore, be
comes a national policy.
IX LIXE "W'lTir OUR POLICY.
How the AnKlo-Jnpanene Treaty Is
Viewed In "Washington.
"WASHINGTON, Feb. 12. Mr. Takahlra,
the Japanese Minister at "Washington, to
day called at the State Department and
notified Secretary Hay of the signature of
the treaty between Great Britain and
Japan, made puhlic yesterday In England,
binding the two nations to joint action to
maintain the integrity of China and Corea.
The assent of the United States is not nec
essary to this agreement, but If it -were
It would probably not be with
held, for It is pointed out that the ticuty
Is precisely in line with the acts jf the
State Department, as fully disclosed in
the notes published by It from time to
time.
It Is again stated that there has been no
Joint action as between the United States
and the two powers named, yet it is a
fact that the preamble to tho new treaty
might be regarded as almost a paraphrase
of the position of the United States toward
the Manchurian question, as enunciated
in Secretary Hay's note to the Russian
Ambassador here.
It Is made very clear here by the official
statements that the purposes of the United
States all relate to commercial and In
dustrial phases of the Manchurian ques
tion. With the political phase we have
little concern. In other words, the United
States is contending for the "open door"
in Manchuria, and it recognizes in this
new treaty a valuable support In Its con
tention. FREXCII DIPLOMATIC VIEW.
Alliance Xot a DiKanletinff Element
In the Situation.
PARIS, Feb. 12. The view taken In dip
lomatic circles here is that the Anglo
Japanese alliance, being purely defensive,
Is in no wise a disquieting element in the
Eastern situation. The agreement, it Is
claimed, excludes Manchuria, and Russia,
therefore, is not menaced thereby. The
alliance Is taken to indicate that Great
Britain has abandoned, her opportunist
and vaccinating attitude of recent years
In the far East for a fixed policy, and
that the result will certainly make for
the peace of the world. The question of
Corea. provided for In the first article of
the treaty, cannot lead to a disturbance
of the peace, because Russia has no ag
gressive alms in that country. Japan also
is not in an aggressive mood. One of the
results of the alliance will probably be a
new Japanese loan, as Japan has need of
money.
The Temps says: "The new alliance
seem to indicate that the British Gov
ernment Intends inaugurating a new pol
icy in the far Eeast. It is an innovation
without precedent for a century. Eng
land thereby changes her policy of 'free
hands' for a policy of 'tied hands.' There
is, perhaps, a direct relation between this
and the sort of diplomatic revolution and
change of situation regarding "Wei Hal
Wei."

hero today and was an absolute surprise.
Tho treaty Is regarded as tnc most im
portant move made in far Eastern poli
tics of recent years. The Japanese Min
ister, Uchida. visited Prince Ching, pres
ident of the Foreign Ofllce, and gave him
a copy of the treaty. It is not doubted
among the diplomats here that the new
alliance will effectually veto tho signing
of the Manchurian treaty.
The British Minister, Sir Ernest M.
Satow, the Japaneses Minister, Uchida,
and the United States Minister, Mr. Con
ger, have recently been pressing Prince
Ching to postpone the signing of the Man
churian treaty.
They obtained a promise to defer so
doing until fresh representations could
be made, which representations wore
made today in tho form of a copy of the
Anglo-Japanese treaty. The Chinese of
ficials who were informed of the signing
of the treaty expressed the greatest sat
isfaction. They said British prestige In
the East had been given a tremendous
advancement.
German Press Opinions.
BERLIN. Feb. 12. The National Zei
tung. referring to the new dual alliance,
says:
"The Anglo-Japanese alliance bears a
great resemblance to the triple alliance.
If the United States has joined Japan
and Great Britain In resisting the signing
of the Manchurian treaty. It must be in
ferred that the United States regards the
new treaty sympathetically. Since the
immediate aims of Japan and Great Brit
ain are essentially defensive, the treaty
acquires unmistakable significance for tho
preservation of peace In the Orient."
The Vossiche Zeltung also Infers that
the treaty will tend toward the mainte
nance of Oriental tranquillity, and says
that it feels to that extent it can bo
viewed with satisfaction by Germany.
Tho Neuste Nachrichten sees in the al
liance a far greater practical advantage
for Great Britain than for Japan, "since
a Japanese-Russian war is tho most
probable of all those conflicts in Eastern
Asia." The paper adds: "It is most un
likely that France will actively assist
Russia in such a conflict. Therefore,
Japan, with the agreement In her pocket,
will have to reckon with one on the costs
of settlement with Russia."

XEW 3IAIIQUIS OF DUFFEUIX.
Lord Clandeboye. Who Married a

LONDON, Feb. 12. Lord Dufferin. who
died last evening, never wholly recovered
from the shock which he experienced as
the result of the death of his son. Lord
Ava. In South Africa, and the failure of
the London & Globe Finance Corporation,
Ltd., and kindred concerns, of which
he was a director, completed his break
down. With the exception of his young

The papers comment on Lord Dufferin's
paltry pension of ' 1700 yearly, which
necessitated his mixing up In city com

"It is not a pleasant reflection that If

PLEA FOR ANNEXATION
MEMORIAL OF THE FEDERAL PAR
TV OF THE PHILIPPINES.
Presentation of the Form of Govern
ment Desired Remedy Wanted
for the Friar Evil.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 12. The memorial
of the Federal party of the Philippine Is
lands was transmitted to the Senate this
evening by the Secretary of War, together
with a letter of transmittal by Governor
Taft, In whose charge the document was
given. The memorial was adopted at an
extraordinary session of the Federal par
ty, held In Manila In November. It sets
forth that the performance of that obli
gation of the treaty of Paris -which gave
the United States Congress authority to
fix the status of the Philippine Islands
had been deferred to this time because of
the attack by the Filipinos upon the so--ereignty
of the United States, an act
brought about, the memorial says, through
a misunderstanding, and not through hat
red of American sovereignty. It further
states that out of the CO provinces and
districts, war exists In only two Batan
gas and Samar. It also asserts that It is
a demonstrated fact that the pueblos, or
towns, anxiously desire "a definitive civil
rule," and say that those who are still In
arms allege that the lack of civil regime,
"agreed upon and promulgated by the
Congress of the United States, Is a
weighty pretext for their belligerent at
titude, which regime shall determine at
once the political status and civil rights
of the Inhabitants of the archipelago in
accordance with the treaty of Paris."
The memorial then makes a presentation
of the deduction of the Federal party that
Congress should proceed to carry Into ef
fect Its determination of defining the fu
ture of the Philippines in their relations
to the United States, and asserts that
there Is no reason for not replacing the
military regime "by a civil rule of a pop
ular character, in conformity with the de
cisive words of the never-to-be-forgotten
President McKInley."
The memorial is divided into two parts.
The first part of these is a petition for
annexation and a presentation of the form
of government desired. In this subdivi
sion the Federal party sets forth that it
has made an exhaustive study of both the
Filipinos and the Americans, and con
cludes that, from the mass of data col
lected. It is "the intention of the two peo
ples that they should never be disunited."
The memorial announces aj principles for
this union the formation of a "more per
fect union, establishment of Justice, the
Insurance of domestic tranquillity, promo
tion of the general welfare and the se
curing of the blessings of liberty." The
memorial then proceeds:
"To make of the Philippines a colony of
the United States, or to grant Indepen
dence to the Philippines would be to hand
the islands over to disorder and to an
archy, to destruction and to chaos. In
effect, the colonial system Involves the
principles of difference of citizenship, in
equality of rights and other consequent
abuses .and Injustices, of all of which we
Filipinos were surfeited under the Span
ish Government, and for this reason we
reject everything which tends toward a
colony. Philippine Independence with or
without a protectorate means a holding
of power by all the tribal elements of the
sects which predominate, and would pre
dominate still for some years, until the
anger of Filipinos toward Filipinos shall
have been completely calmed, education
become general and the fanaticism wo
have inherited from Spain exiled.
"Federation or annexation would settle
all these difficulties by concentration of
the interest of the Filipino people upon
education. and labor."
The memorialists then pray for a declar
ation by the Congress of the United States
to the effect that the Philippine Islands,
as they are described in the treaty of
Paris and the subsequent convention with
Spain, are an Integral part of the United
States, the said Philippine Islands consti
tuting a territory with the rights and
privileges which tho Constitution of the
United States grants to the other territo
ries, such as that of becoming a state of
tho Union."
A preliminary form of government sim
ilar to that of tho territories of the.
United States is outlined as suitable for
tho Philippines. The plan provides for a
Governor and four Executive Secretaries,
to be appointed by the President of tho
United States, and for a Territorial Sen
ate, In addition to a House of Represen
tatives, consisting of 30 members, 16 of
whom are to be elected by the people and
the others appointed by the Governor.
The .memorial asks that the islands be
represented In the United States Houso of
Representatives by two delegates.
The second part of the memorial sets
forth the aspirations of a socinl and eco
nomical character, the principal of which
the memorial represents to be the secur
ing of a remedy of the "ancient evil
known as the friar." Under this desig
nation the memorial Includes all the re
ligious orders now existing in the Islands.
The memorial says of the latter that they
constitute an element which are "visibly
opposed to the Filipino people securing
the noble ends gained by the Constitution
of the United States." and continuing It Is
declared that the abuses of these orders
have been the cause of the bloody strug
gles of the past and tho deep hatred ex
isting between the friars and the people
of tho Philippine Islands. Congress Is
asked to take steps to remedy these evils,
and special attention Js urged to tho res
olutions made by Governor Taft.

Philippine people is asked. In the pac
ified portions of the islands the memo
rial says there are thousands of prosecu
tions brought against the revolutionists
who have surrendered to American sov
ereignty, for acts of violence committed
while they wero in the field and prior to
their surrender. In this connection the
memorial asserts that there are many
revolutionists who have thus submitted,
who have been now doported to distant
Islands, or who are undergoing sentences
In jails and prisons, whllo their families

CAPTURE COLOMBIAN GUNBOAT
LIbertndor Puts Her Out of Service
nnd Takes Aboard Her Crew.
WILLEMSTAD, Curacao, Feb. 12. Today
the following report of the engagement
between the 'Llbertador and the Crespo
was obtained:
"On Board the Llbertador, Off Cumar
ebo. Venezuela, Feb. 7. We left the vi
cinity of Curacoa at 4 o'clock this morn
ing, going southward. We were Informed
by a schooner that the Venezuelan war
ships were off La Villa de Coro, and we
headed south at full speed. At 2 o'clock
in the afternoon wo met the steamer
Crespo before Cumarebo, and she immedi
ately prepared for the fight. To our sum
mons to surrender, which was accompan
nled by a blank cannon shot, the Crespo
replied by opening fire on us, to which
the Llbertador answered by directing the
fire of her heavy guns and rapid-fire guns
on the Crespo. The latter kept up firing
for a time, but her shells did not strike
us, while our shells Inflicted serious dam
age on her. After half an hour's fight
ing the Crespo hoisted the white flag and
surrenderd unconditionally. The com
mander of the Crespo, General Pedro -Itl-vere
Sulto, and all her crew were then
transferred on board the Llbertador, and
the Crespo. rendered completely useless,
was abandoned on the coast, after all her
war material had been removed and the
guns which we could not take away had
been destroyed. We then continued our
cruise. When the commander of the Cres
po arrived on board the Llbertador we
noticed that his hat had been pierced by
bullets, and we asknowledged that he and
all his crew had fought valiantly.
"MATOS."
The signer of the above report is Gen
eral Manuel Matos, the leader of the Ven
ezuelan revolution and commander of the
Llbertador.
The political situation In Venezuela Is
unchanged. It Is described as not being
a revolution, but a circle of uprisings
near Valencia, Puerto Cabello and Tuca
cas. Nobody seems able to explain the
plans of General Matos, the revolution
ary leader. The situation may be summed
up as follows: The uprisings have not
been crushed, but the actual revolution
has not yet started.
The Venezuelan gunboat Miranda, the
best of the Venezuelan fleet, was towed
Into Puerto Cabello yesterday with a
broken shaft. The other Venezuelan gun
boats are more or less In the same con

SUFFERED WITH HEAD
AND THROAT 14 YEARS
Mr. J. J. Pntton, Forest Grove, Or.,
a well-known student of the Pacific Uni
versity. Mr. Patton, In referring to the
admirable result of the Copeland treat
ment In catarrh and throat trouble, said:
"I began treatment at the Copeland In
stitute after suffering with citarrh for
Mr. J. ,T. Patton, Forest Grove, Or.
14 years more than half my life. My
trouble was brought on by colds. My
head was always In a miserable, stopped
up condition, so that
1 Could Xot Breathe
naturally. Mouth breathing and the ef
fect of the poisonous secretions from the
head kept my throat in a state of con
stant irritation. The tonsils were so much
enlarged that It was always difficult for
me to swallow. The least fresh cold
would aggravate this condition to such an
extent that the whole surface of
My Throat
would be inflamed and the tonsils would
gather and break. Once an attack "set In
nothing would check It. and my suffer
ing would be almost unbearable.
"There was a tenderness and soreness
over the bridge of the nose and under the
eyes, and I was continually clearing my
throat.
"Upon the advice of my brother, who
had been successfully treated at the
Copeland Institute, I placed myself under
treatment, and In a short time I
"Was Surprised
at the great Improvement In my condi
tion. The treatment opened up the air
passages so that now I have no diffi
culty In breathing, the soreness has en
tirely disappeared, and I am no longer
troubled with my throat and feel better
In every way."
AVOID CURE-ALLS.
