Effect of the New Alliance of Great Britain and Japan. New York Press. "Entangling alliances" are not the policy of the United States. Yet has this country come to make history and unwritten law In foreign lands and on the other hemisphere. Between this Nation and Japan or England, or between this Nation and both of these, there is and can be no alliance, bound by treaty and sealed with signatory authority, for the preservation of the Integrity of China and Korea. Yet the alliance sensational the world will call it, but sensational only because there is nowwritten down the fact, which has existed since American troops marched with those of Great Britain. Japan and other powers on Peking yet the announced alliance of England and Japan to hold the Eastern situation in statu quo is no more than the promise, even the assurance, of what this government has sought with diplomacy and troops the open door in China. This alliance Is an instrument of cunning phraseology, but of vast importance and power. It Is to be noted that if Japan should go to war with one power, let us say Russia, over the preservation of the independence of China, England would not be called upon to take part; nor if the war were England's, would Japan. Should there be a concert against either, however, then England and Japan would Join their fietts and armies, no longer in an alliance of defense, but in an alliance of offense. Here is the protection of China and Korea and here also is the assurance of the fulfillment of the American policy of the open door in China. For not one nation In Europe, against the will either of Japan or England, could partition China and Korea and close the door. What would be the outcome of a coalition against England and Japan only the test of the actual conflict could prove, but the American people would back the Anglo-Japanese alliance to win. As for the attitude of the United Stati toward this alliance, while this governrneia remains neutrnl, yet there is more advantage in that treaty to this country than to any other. The subtleties of international relations without "foreign entanglements" are not to be explained In a fewwords. It can be understood by anyone with little explanation, however, that what It is the dearest wish of this country to see in China it will be the dearest wish to approve and support, so far as traditional policy permits. How much of action and influence is permitted by such policy could be illustrated in no other way so well as by the work of the United States' in the recent Chinese war a work which, with our advent Into the Orient through our possessions in the Philippines, unquestionably has led to the Anglo-Japanese alliance for the open door In China. RUSSIA IN CHINA. The Rear Is Withdrawing the Veil from Ills Asiatic Plans. Chicago Journal. Russia is withdrawing the veil from her plans of operation in the far East, though even a careless observer of the trend of affairs there could scarcely have overlooked the fact that she intends to maintain Manchuria as a closed market so far as tho rest of the world Is concerned. The diplomatic agents of Great Britain, Japan and the United States are now disregarding Muscovite pretensions and openly . fighting the consummation of the Russo-Chinese treaty, which practically gives the Czar's subjects a monopoly In the development of Manchuria, the most fertile of all the fields in China that have been opened to foreign enterprise. The Russian government, on the one hand disclaiming official knowledge and responsibility concerning the agreement with M. Pocatillo, the shrewd and trusted agent of the Czar and manager of the Russo-Chlnese ban. Is negotiating, on the other insists that this contract and the Manchurian treaty shall be signed simultaneously. The agreement, it appears, stipulates that all railway and mining development in the peninsula shall be in the hands of China, which shall first apply to the bank for the money needed in the enterprises before seeking financial assistance in any other quarter of the globe. Tills all Is merely Illustrative of Russia's whole campaign in China. Despite the perfervid attempts of the Empress to ingratiate herself in the regard of the foreign representatives, her court is illumined by influences exerted from St. Petersburg. Japan rightfully hoped for much In the way of Increasing trade following the remarkably quick manner in which she punctured the bubble of Chinese naval and military pretension, but can gain no ear at Peking. Even Great Britain and America are put off with promises that are broken with Impunity whenever the Czar nods his head. It will be interesting to note how long the concord of nations will last before the overweening desire of the Slavs to establish a new empire in Asia will lead to open rupture of relations that seem peaceable enough If viewed only from the standpoint of diplomatic courtesy. GALVESTON'S SITUATION. Pathos of It Increased by Rapacity of Bondholders. Kansas City Star. A most pathetic sequel to the great Galveston disaster of September, UOO, is the confessed bankruptcy of that city. The keen humiliation which this situation Imposes on the people of Galveston can be measured only by the civic pride which, under normal conditions, placed the citysecurities at a high premium, the last bonds having sold at 114. Yet it is not to the discredit of the citizens of Galveston that they acknowledge their inability to meet the demands of the interest on their bonded indebtedness. On the contrary, their willingness to meet all the obligations if possible has shown the highest kind of civic character. While It Is true that some of the people who hold Galveston bonds are dependent on the Interest to furnish them a livelihoodseveral widows having invested their ull in these securities the position of these holders is not to be compared to the great sacrifice imposed on the people of Galveston. Under the circumstances, the committee of bondholders has been cruelly severe and exacting. As pointtrtl out by the editor of the Galveston News, If the whole city had been destroyed, the bonds would havo been worthless, therefore it is but right that the holders of these securities should help to bear the burdens of the partial destruction. It is almost an insult to propose that 2 per cent, of the accrued interest be deferred for five years, provided that it be compounded in the meantime. There is more than a moral reaeon why the bondholders should bear a part of the loss. It is estimated that one-third of the property of the city was destroyed by the gtorm and flood. The population, through the destruction of 6.0o0 lives and the emigration of many of the inhabitants, has been reduced one-third. The original indebtedness was assumed by the whole population and was to be assessed on the total and unimpaired property. Is it legally, the duty of the remaining people of Galveston, holding what is left of their property, to pay the debt assumed by the greater population and based on the earning power of the city before it was visited by unavoidable disaster? Cndtr the circumstances the country will not only have great sympathy for the city, but there will be an almost unanimous conviction that the bondholders should help to bear the burdens im-iised on it. Jeff Davis and Ilenuvolr. Washington Post. These continued references to Beauvoir, "the ancestral home of the Jefftrson Davla family." make me weary. I assume that, as a matter of course, they produce the fame effect upon Mrs. Davis herself. Peauvoir is not and never was 'the historic home of the late President of the Confederacy." The place was left by will to Mr. Davis some ten or fifteen years after the close of the civil war. It belonged to a very lovely and accomplished lady, Mrs. Dorsey, If I am not mistaken in the name, who greatly admired and sympathized with Mr.

Davis, and who. on her death, bequeathed the property to him. The will was a distinct surprise to her heirs, and even to her friends and acquaintances; but no contest was Inaugurated; no public comment made. The Davises took possession and the Incident was closed. Beauvoir is a comfortable old country house on the Gulf of Mexico shore, about seventy miles east of New Orleans, on the line of the Louisville & Nashville Railway. I should say that it is worth about $:,00. What a pity the chroniclers of small beer cannot pass over such matters as these matters which concern only the distinguished widow, who must be annoyed and pained by the idiotic gossip. IMMIGRATION PROPHECY.

What the Descendants of Foreigner Who Come Here Will Do In 1?C,U. Harper's Weekly. Assistant Commissioner of Immigration McSweney prophesies that, unless the tide of immigration be checked, within two generations foreigners will control this country. If Mr. McSweeney thinks that the alien remains an irreducible element after passing through inspection, classification and fumigation at Ellis island he does not give due credit to the processes which he h Ips to superintend. Thousands of the children of those who come here in the steerage of a transatlantic liner go to Europe In the cabin, to be regarded as representative American citizens. It takes only a few years to give to the alien the right to vote and to hold every office in the country except one. If Mr. McSweeney will take the trouble to follow the foreigners after they land he will fee them Joining political processions and hear them inquiring how soon they may vote. In this country it requires little more than two generations of continuous residence to transform a batch of immigrants into an old American family. There will arrive here in the year 1W0, by water or air, many thousands of foreigners. Whoever presides on Elils island at that day may well content himself In peace, for no army of aliens will go to welcome the reinforcements. Instead there will be citizens, descendants of the immigrants of this present year and of later years, who will mildly wonder if it is not time to have a country exclusively for the use of Americans. Mutiny on an American Ship. SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. IS. Advices from Tutuila, Samoa, under date of Feb. 4, say that the three-masted American schooner Alice McDonald, with a cargo ot coal from Newcastle to San Francisco, is tied up in Pago Pago harbor, and her crew, which mutinied, is under arrest.

Inheritance Tax Law Invalid. MADISON. Wis.. Feb. IS. The state lawtaxing inheritances was held to be unconstitutional and invalid by the Supreme Court to-day.

The boy replied, with words of ardent nature: "He was a member of the Legislature." "How?" asked the parent; then the youngster salth: "He got a pass and held her like grim death." "Whose pass? What pass?" the anxious father cried: " 'Twas the'r monopoly," the boy replied. In deference to the public we must state That boy has been an orphan since that date. Ironqulll. LOOKING FOR SAFE ROBBERS. The Detectives Have n Clew That May Lead to Results. The police have under arrest several men who are charged with loitering, but who are thought to have been implicated in th. robbery of the safes in the offices of Rehm & Van De lose, in the When building, and IL C. Chandler, in the Cordova buildin;, at 25 West Washington street. There were a number of things which the detectives were unable to figure out i. connection with the robberies. In the When building several offices other thai those of Rehm ä Van Deinse w re entere d. Among them was the othce of E. R. S. Stguln. There were no evid net s of the doors having bee n fore l and there was no wv to eft in except through doors having Yale locks. Nothing of value was about the office to le taken, but eve-ry tiling v..s carefully searched. A quart bottle of ink was overturned on the lloor und the burgl.i. walked through the pool and tracked the Ink over the room. The detectives were advised of this fact last night and they js.ii.l it was a clew which might prove- valuable in Identifying the burglars should they be arrested, as ink is reauliy absorbed into shoe leather.

Major Blanche Cox, of the Salvation Army, who has charge of the work in Indiana and Michigan, with headquarters in Indianapolis, is serying four days in the House of Correction In Detroit for violating an ordinance forbidding street preaching and the beating of drums. Ensign Crawford, the officer in charge of the Detroit organization, is also in prison for ten days lor the same offense. For the first offense, the judge said: "It is a hard position in which to place a Judge to have him feel that his duty cempels toward Inflicting a punishment, while his heart prompts him to comme-nd your life work. The House of Correction should not be for pure an l zealous women, those who have dedicated their lives to the uplifting of unfortunate mankind. History informs us that John Bunyan, Richard Baxter and George Fox were imprisoned for the same offense, but that was centuries ngo. since which time we should have made some progress, but here you are to be imprisoned in the country professing the greatest religious liberty. While I refuse in this ease to do more than convict you. and suspend sentence upon you, still you are not to think that any similar examples of ancient biblical times will save you from tentence if you continue to violate the ordinance from this date. As 1 said before. Defendant Cox, I would not hesitate to punish crime, but this being your first offense 1 elo not wish by sentence to throw vou among hardened criminals, but I warn you that if you should again be convicted upon this charge I will commit you to the Ilou.e of Correction." Upon her release Major Cox again took her stand on the street and was again arrested. The ordinance which she violated is one that was formulated by Police Commissioner Andrews, the defaulting bank president, and a strange coincidence Is that he was arrested on the same day.
