TWO TRIPLE ALLIANCES.

Talk Of England, Japan aud United States
p Combining Against Russia, Germany and
France
WASHINGTON, April 29.-Rumors of a
new triple alliance were atioat among
the diplomatic corps Friday. The
members of the new international
compact, if it be perfected, will
be the greatest nations of
the continents of Europe, Asia
and America In other words an effort
IS being made, according to diplomatic
authority, to induce the United States
to join Great Britain and Japan In an
alliance against the powers of Europe
and of everywhere else.
knowing well the disinclination of
this country to entangle itself with
foreign countries in defensive and
offensive alliances, Great Brit
ain and Japan are said to
have suggested mere com
mercial alliance. Should the invita-
ton to join such an alliance be ac-
copied by this government the
mere announcement would, it is
thought, be sufficient to hold
Russia, Germany and France
in check in their. attempt to prevent
the consummaIIo1 OF the treaty OF
peace between Japan and China by
which China will cede certain of her
territory to Japan.
LONDON, April 29.-The Daily News
has this dispatch from Yokohama:
The memoranda presented by the Rus
sian, German and French ministers at
Toxic represented the cession of
Lao Tong to Japan as constant
menace to Picking, calculated to nullify
the independence of Corea. therefore the
powers, desiring to show their sincere
friendship for japan, advised her to re-
nounce the possession of this territory.
The friepdliness of this advice was es-
pecially emphasized. The note, twas
said, was not intended to be an open or
covert menace. The impression grows
that Japan can rely upon the friendly
counsel and good offices of the United
States in preventing her being deprived
of the fruit of the victory.
SHANGHAI, April 20. "A dispatch re-
ceived here from Picking says that
affairs there are in a critical state.
Some. of the generals are in favor OF
continuing the war The censors OBJ
ject to Viceroy Ii Hung Chang and the
terms of the treaty Of peace be-
tween China and Japan, and the of
fcials are claiming that the en-
peror alone should decide upon the
terms. The ratification OF the treaty,
consequently, is uncertain and if it is
not ratified it is feared that there will
be- tron BILE with the army.

Counterfeiters.

! X u 3 - 4
The central police station in Mime
sapolis recently very mucn resem bled a
United States mint in some respects.
Early in the morning the patrol wagon
brought in the whole manufacturing
plant of Fred Lee and Michael Crow
ley, the counterfeiters, who were
arrested the night before. 1t is a very
complete plant and has a capacity Of
81 at each melting of the metal. There
was a small gasoline stove, fire clay
pot, number of bars of lead, two cans
of different kinds of oils, which were
used in giving semblance of the genu-
inc money, eleven plaster of Paris
moulds, a primitive milling apparatus
constructed out of file, and a very
delicate emery wheel.
The moulds are very accurate and
were very cleverly constructed. The
impression was made in the soft plaster
with genuine dollar, there being two
portions to each complete mold for the
two sides of the dollar. The molds
were baked in an oven on the gasoline
stove and after they were completed
the spurious metal was run into them.
The coins after being cast were milled,
rubbed and polished with oils and trim
med and finished up with the emery
wheel, making a very good imitation OF
the real article. A good deal of the
money has been passed, it being Crow.
ley's custom to make small purchases
with his home manufactured dollars,
getting good money in change. He
generally operated at some distance
from his plant. The false dollars are
all dated 1882 and 1889, and the police
have a number of them to use as evi
dence. Letters have been found which
show that Crowley is an old hand a
the business.

They were from the Antipodes-the
land of gold, cheap wood and the Aus
tralian ballot system. They were &C
companied by their uncle, r. S. Miller,
Of Ely, who went to Vancouver. Il.

They were Marsie Miles, II years of

Andrew, years and they came sea
voyage of about 1000 miles all alone, in
charge of the stewardess of the Can
adam Pacific steamer Warrinoo. They
were twenty-three days on the water.
The trip from Vancouver was made via
Winnipeg. Minneapolis and Duluth.
The little ones are the orphan. children
of brother of r. S. and I. T.. Miller,
of Ely, both parents having died
about year or so ago, leaving them all
alone in that far off land. The children
seem to have enjoyed their long journey.
