and under some conditions Is even
more destructive.

BT T. P. O'CONNOR. M. P.
(Special cable to Chlcafo Tribune, copy

LIVERPOOL, March 18. (Special.)
For the moment Sir Edward Grey'a
speech has set the prairie on Ore all
over England. The Radicals, dis
heartened by the refusal of the min
Is try to make any reduction In the gi
gantic Increase In expenditure for the
navy and threatening a dangerous re
volt, were first subjugated. Receiving
Sir Edward coldly during the earlier
parts of his speech, they cheered en
thusiasticaly when be made hia bold
bid for the Anglo-American alliance.
In tha whirlwind of enthusiasm
created by this epoch-making declara
tion. all other topics have been eztlr
pated for the moment. Including Radi
cal criticism of the naval budget. One
or two small voices In criticism have
been heard her and there, and the
Manchester Guardian, chief exponent
of the doctrine of naval economy, aug
gests that Sir Edward "dextrously
drew a gigantic red herring across the
path of critics of the government's
bloated budget."
Even Tories Change Tactics. .
Others suggest tha perils of an al
llance. If offensive as well aa defensive,
as liable to Involve both England and
America In European quarrels and com
plications. However, these are voices
in the desert.
All England Is . wildly enthusiastic
for Grey's policy. The most remark
able algn of the popularity of the new
policy Is the transformation In the tac
tics of the Tory party. During Sir
Edward's speech many Tories openly
Jeered and aome Interrupted with criea
of "What about Mexico?" auggestlng
provocative conduct by America. The
Interruption was angrily resented by
some Radicals and Irishmen. Mr.
Balfour's cordial, although guarded,
acceptance of Grey's speech threw the
Tory hotheads over.
In addition there are wild meetings
of enthusiasm among nonconformist
clergymen, peace societies and Radical
associations. Today no speaker can
raise a readier or more unanimous
cheer than by axpreaslng a hope for a
closer friendship between England and
America.
Germany and Austria Friendly.
In tha meantime, this extraordinary
revelation of the Intensity of the desire
for American friendship In England
produces many results outside the
mere question itself. The first of
these is a great softening of the acid
ity in the tone of the German press and
warm friendliness on the part of the
Austrian press.
All Europe apparently breathes a
sigh of relief at even a distant possi
bility of the passing of tha nightmare
of the present intolerable burden of
naval and military rivalry. There
now Is also for the first time the
chance for a full and frank negotiation
between England and Germany for the
arrest of the naval shipbuilding rivalry
which CamDbell-Bnnnerman and Pre
mier Asquith have attempted vainly
during the last few years.
A second result is the addition of a
weapon In the hands of the Liberals and
Irish who favor home rule. Even the

Says That If Competitors Seek

SAN FRANCISCO, March 18.-(Special.)
"The Pacific avigatlon Company Is
not seeaing a rate war, Due n mis com
pany Is forced Into one there will be a
merry time on this coast from Portland
on the North to San Diegoon the South,"
said Captain Jimes H. Bennett, of the
firm of Bennett & Goodall, operators of
the fast turbiners lale and Harvard.
"We want to use the Tale and Harvard
In catering to first-class passengers at
what we think the public regards as a
reasonable rate for the service and we
are in a position to give and have been
giving, but If the San Francisco & Port
land Steamship Company or any other
company forces a rate war upon us we
will throw these big boats, capable of
comfortably caring for 800 persons, open
at a rate of 32.50 and make more money
than we now are making on the basis
of.tS.SS.
Four-Day Service Possible.
"Furthermore we will run the Tale
and Harvard between Portland and San
Diego with calls at San Francisco and
Los Angeles on the basis of a four-day
service.
"I am leaving for Portland tonight .o
confer with parties there with a view of
establishing the proposed service north.
The Tale and Harvard will have no
trouble In negotiating the waters on the
north coast to Portland.
"If a rate war is forced upon the
Pacific Navigation Company It will ot
only involve the water passenger service
along the Coast, but It will also take in
the rail rates.
Cut to Be Ignored.
"For the present, however, we purpose
paying no attention to the S3 cut made
by the San Francisco-Portland Company.
"We have for some time had corres
pondence with the Western Pacific for
traffic arrangements, but under the con
ditions with which we Inaugurated the
high-class service with the Tale and
Harvard we preferred to remain abso
lutely independent in the field." ,
General Manager HIgee of the Pacific
Coast Steamship Company said that he
had no. announcement to make today
concerning the rate war. Aa yet tne

CHICAGO, March 18. (Special.)
Mail service In the Chicago division
will be tied up as completely as was
the French mail a short time ago un
less certain conditions are changed, ac
cording to railway postal clerks, who
admit that 2000 of their number are
affiliating with the American Federa?
tion of Labor with the idea of gaining
concessions from the Government by
striking.
Postal authorities say such action
would be treasonable. The chief
grievances of the men are heavy
"runs" of mall without substitutes or
assistance, which compel clerks to
work 11 and 12 hours a day.
It Is asserted that the work of or
ganizing has been going on for more
than a week and that now more than
two-thirds of the entire force working
in the Chicago division have forward
ed their applications for membeishlp
in a local union yet to be formed.
Clerks declare there has been an In
crease of almost 30 per cent in the
amount of mail handled and that, de
spite this fact, the staff has been re
duced. Delays of mails recently are
declared to be the direct result of this
action, which is termed part of the
economical policy of Postmaster-General
Hitchcock.
The Chicago division is composed of
a strip of about 1500 miles. There are
runs as far south as Memphis and as
far west as Pocatello, Idaho.
TUMOR CUT FROM BRAIN
Spokane Woman Undergoes Delicate
Operation and Lives.
SPOKANE. Wash., March 18. (Spe

cult operations In medical annals, the
removal of a tumor from the pituitary
gland at the base of the brain, was
performed at Sacred Heart Hospital

physicians present were Dr. Solomon
W. Shafcr, of Johns Hopkins Univer
sity, who administered the anesthetic,
and Pr. E.M. Wolty, demonstrator of
surgery In the Jefferson Medical Col
lege, Philadelphia.
TIj patient was Miss Mauds Rupp,
formerly of Evanston, Wyo., but for
some time a resident of Spokane. Five
years ago the tumor ' started at the
base of the brain. It caused an en
largement of her extremities which
amounted to deformity and pressing on
the optic nerve destroyed the sight of
one eye entirely and Impaired the use
of the other.

Regiment of Cavalry May Go

TOWN IS MEXICAN GATEWAY
Prediction of Sensational Develop
ments in Mexico City Combines
ATith Preparations to Cause
War Fever to Rise.
SAN ANTONIO, Tex., March 18. Tha
air was electrified tonight with rumors
of Important developments In Mexico
and of the movement of the maneuver
division to the border. The return of
Jose Tves Limantour to Mexico in part
accounted for this.
A newspaper man who returned from
the City of Mexico said sensational de
velopments were to be expected. He
said the story of the stoning of Diaz,
palace was untrue.
At the maneuver camp nearly every
preparation was a denial of the story
of mere drill and tactics. Eight tracks
have been cleared in the Southern Pa
cific yards. Runways have been con
structed so that the loading of eight
troop trains can be effected simulta
neously. The entire yard has been
cleaned, so that nothing will hinder the
Regular Army in the event of any
emergency.
Tracks Ready for Troop Trains.
That these eight tracks are at the
"disposal" of the Government was ad
mitted by an official of the railroad
company, who, in the same breath, told
of the "bedding" of a lot of stock cars
that are being stored in the Southern
Pacific yards. A second official said
a representative of the Government
asked him. In case stock cars were not
available for the shipment of horses,
how many animals could be loaded in
to ordinary 36 or 40-foot boxcars. In
quiry was also made if the road would
undertake to handle soldiers in box
cars In an emergency.
A train, said to be destined to carry
troops to Nogales, Ariz., on the Mexi
can border, was made up at the Army
yards here tonight. It consists of
nine tourist and two standard sleep
ers, a kitchen and a baggage car. It
Is manned and under orders to remain
In readiness to pull out at any hour.
Train Always Has Steam Tp.
"It may go tonight, tomorrow or
never," said a railroad man. "It must
remain with steam up and a crew
aboard at all times, in any event."
So far as could be learned, no orders
have been received for the embarka
tion of troops, but it is said among
railroad men that the destination of
the train is Nogales. It probably will
carry the Eleventh Cavalry.
Interest Is added to the news by tha
fact that in the plans pigeon-holed at
Washington for the movements of
troops ready for any eventualities, an
Invasion of Mexico Includes the use of
Nogales as a gateway.
