I UPHEAVAL IS LOOKED FOR • May Bring About Realignment, of Powers and Shake Britain’s Alliance With Japan. WASHINGTON. July —Govern- j | ment experts on far Eastern affairs are on a still hunt for proof of a secret agreement between Japan snd I Hussia on the partition <>f Manchuria adverse to the United Slates For months past these diplomatic sleuths . have been convinced that some such understanding has been reached, j whllg tthe railroad agreement Just signed providing for the elimination of the competition between the Rus sian and Japanese systems In Man- 1 , churls*. It is suspected. Is but a blind j to throw the other power* off the scent. Its reiteration of the intention of the two countries to preserve the status quo it regarded as no more than a tinkling phrase which has been used repeatedly to distract attention I from the real underground working | ■ of the two foreign offlees to secure a firm grasp on t’hlnm’s richest pro- i i vinca. A complete upheaval in the far Eastern diplomacy is looked for | within the next few months It lsj expected that it will bring about a realignment of the powres and prob ably shake Great Britain's alliance j I with Japan. Whatever the ostensible purposes of ltusslan and Japanese i * diplomacy, the Western world Is prao- j ticaliy convinced that the reconcllla ; tlon of the two former enemies means a new phase of Oriental politics. The •open door'- is shut and bolted In Manchuria, and the gospel of equal .opportunity has become obsolete. The negative policy of Great Britain Is re garded as being the principal cause of the chaotic changes which have taken place. The English foreign of fice has sided with Russia and Japan In recent negotiations as against the United States. German} and France, with the result that British prestige In the Orient has steadily decreased I to the advantage of Russia and Ja • pan. It Is now expected that Great Bri tain will make an attempt to retrieve Itself by opposing the Russian and t Japanese schemes for the partition I <.f Mnnchtiria.

Bar Harbor and other! resorts will be visited It Is possi ble that the Sylph will also be taken on the cruise. President Taft did not get a»aj ea. to the Myopia golf links to-day but probably will motor across later with Captain Butt and play with John Hays Hammond or Henry Clay Frick. Reports have bet-n current here that President Taft Is considering the calling of a special session of the senate to confirm the nomination oi a nsw chief justice of the United States, in order that the case of tne big trusts now pending may be passed upon as toon as possible. As this special sejaion would cost 150. 000 and would probably not tie called In any event until the expiration oi the enabling act passed to allow Jus tice Moody to retire, should he desire to do so. the talk of a special session Is believed to be without foundation. Mr. Moody's time for decision Is not up till November and to save a month on the hearing of the trust cases would hardly warrant the call ing of the special session. No official statement in the matter has been made. QUAKE WAS SEVERE AND LASTED LONG Shaking T’p Feet in Washington and Cincinnati—May Have Been ill Iceland. WASHINGTON. D. C\.

Women with money may go in for the arts, medicine or law, but trades wom en work only because they have to. "And how frightfully under-paid these women are.

You can board at St. Somebody's Settlement Home, for $3.50 a week.' "Our object Is to better general con ditions. to raise wage* by organiza tion. No amount of philanthropy ever raised wages. In fact, it lowers them. The only thing that ever raised wages in this world in union*. Working women need more money.
