j r Publishers Press.

Berlin, Dec. 15. Relatft'ns between

the United States and Japan excite

extraordinary Interest both In govern

ment and diplomatic circles here. Em

peror William discussed the question with several persons recently, and is

thoroughly informed regarding Presi

dent Roosevelt's personal views on the

subject. It is believed that Russia's more resolute attitude against Japan's request for trade, and colonization rights on the Amur river and in Siberia and for fishery privileges on the adjacent coasts is partly due to the discussion of the California school question between the United States and Japan. The Russian foreign office has been subjected to steady diplomatic pressure on the part of Japan in the effort to obtain these far reaching rights. The result is that the idea has been created at the Russian foreign office that Japan might make her ambitions the occasion for a renewal of the war with Russia. This idea pervaded the ronversations which the Russian foreign minister, M. Iswolsky, had with government officials and others he met here during his visit to Berlin six weeks ago. M. Iswolsky met many prominent people here and talked

, with extraordinary freedom.

I Among military and naval officers the probability of a conflict, between the United States and Japan has been quite freely discussed and-the profea-. I sional views appear to agree that Japan would take the Philippine . Islands and place upon the United :JStatejL' the necessity - of conducting across the Pacific prolonged sea and land campaigns, which would au

forth immense operations against

great natural obstacles. It wasjinown here in June that the British admiralty considered theoretically the possibility of war between Japan and the United States as likely

f to occur within 25 years and some of y the British naval men are reported to

have expressed the belief that the contest would occur within five years, . In any case it Is certain that several European foreign officers are at pres-

f ent making inquiries regarding the r temper of the Japanese people and the -' government of Japan. ' i 'ARE PLENTY OF ASPIRANTS

Publishers' Press. Honoiuju, ec. ij. Of.Icers of. the transport Thefftas announced that two regiments are to be rushed immediately to the island in anticipation pf trouble with Japanese. They absolutely refuse to give out any of the detatls bearing on the call for troops and the reason why the government feels that soldiers of the United States army are necessary in the islands, which are overrun by the little brown men. It Is understood that the mikado was extremely anxious to secure possession of the island of Lanai, which Is private property. This island Is 50 miles from Honolulu and could be used as an excellent naval base against the United States by any foreign power. It has two splendid harbors of sufficient depth to accommodate a large fleet of war vessels. George D. Gear, an attorney secured an injunction against Governor Carter

and tfjlifcd; commissioner to prevent their selling; the Island to a syndicate. It is understood the syndicate -represents the Japanese government, or people who ultimately expect to dis

pose of the island to Japan.

Publishers. Press. "Washington, D. C. December 13. Raymond, the Staff Correspondent, of

the Chicago 'Tribune today sent the following to his paper:

"There has been a good deal of a

row in congress and throughout the country over the. speech made by

Secretary Root in New York, Tues

day night and its answer by Judge

Brown.

The secretary has informed all those who have called upon him in regard

to it that his position on the relations between the federal government and

the state has been wholly misundcr

stood. He did not mean, he said, to

advocate the idea that the federal gov

ernment had the power, or should havo

the power, to overrida the states when

ever anything concerning the common

good of the union was in question.

On the contrary, the secretarj', who

is. an acute lawyer,-and a great stu

dent of the constitution, intended that his remarks should be in the nature

of an appeal to the states for concerted action on all questions wh,erein the ""Tights and priviledges of the union were concerned. The secretary did not propose to evade or defy the constitution, as result of which the federal government is a government of specifically delegated "powers only, while the constitution reserves to the states all rights, powers and privileges not granted to the" federal government in so many words. Explanation Disarms Criticism. With this explanation to the pacific and inocuous character of the 'secretary's speech an explanation which is the more necessary because of the

fact that an ordinary reading of the

speech would convince any one that

the secretary meant - exactly the opposite it is believed criticism will be

greatly modified and die down.

Secretary Root, as he now says, in

tended to call attention to the ten-

encv which is so annarent in thf

direction of the centralization of power in the United States government and it was his aim in the speech merely to stir up the states in such a way as to induce them to make more iise of their own powers and to prevent the concentration . of governmental

work at Washington. Secretary Root's speech, however

is merely putting into words a theory which has been allowed to grow up rapidly in the state department of

late. This theory is, in brief, that the

United States through the president

and with the consent of the senate

may pass a treaty with any foreign

country on any subject which con

cerns the people of the two nations, and that when the treaty is properly ratified It is binding upon the people of the United States, the constitution

or the laws of any state to the contrary notwithstanding. f Treaty Making Doctrine Alarms. There are plenty of men in the state department and elsewhere in the gov ernment who take the ground that treaty making power is necessarily as broad as the right of "self-protection and -that the federal government, having been given the right to make treaties, may deal with the foreign nations without regard to the limitations of the American constitution, which are thus supposed to concern federal government in its domestic relations only. It was this startling doctrine created and fostered by the bureaucrats of the

t-state department, which was responsi

ble 'for the stand taken In-the first instance in regard to San Francisco schools, and which may, before long become-equally responsible for ai

assumption on the part of the federal government of the rdits to. fix absolutely the amount from Lake Michigan for sanitary Or for drinking purposes. There is now actually under con sideration a treaty with Great Britain, the purpose of which is to define the amount of water which may be abstracted from the Niagara river, entirely without regard to the demands of navigation. Under this same treaty., if It, is passed by the senate, the fed

eral government would assume the

right to determine just what portion

of the water of the great lakes should

be used for any purpose whatsoever by every city and hamlet and settlement on the shores of those waters.

Hay Originator of Theory. This is not a new doctrine of the state department. The theory began probably with Secretary Hay. He was a thorough . American, a high grade gentleman, tind a patriot in every sense of th eword. He had been trained in his early years with Lincoln h ehad been affiliated with the Repub lican party practically since its foundation. Yes it was Secretary Hay who was chiefly responsible for an exten sion of the theory that the executive department has practically unlimited

control over the foreign relations ot the United States.
