Tennis This Afternoon.

There will be another championship
game of tennis played this afternoon
at the clubs courts between the cham
pions, Newman and White, and Camp
bell and Neff. More interest than
usual is taken in this contest as the
champions won their title from these
same two about two weeks ago and the
team which will play against them this
afternoon still believe that they are
able to defeat them and will have an
other trial at it. The score will be for
the best three out of five sets.

Elizabeth, y. J., Jan. 23.-AIembers OF
the congregation who had been at
tending services in the new million dol
lar edifice of st. Patrick's Roman Cath
olic Church had a very narrow escape
from being crushed to death this morn
ing by the falling of the steepIe of the
old church edifice, which stands beside
the new one.
The steeple was torn from its anchor
ings by the high wind and was blown
into the street 1t was fifty feet high.
When it fell the crash was heard for
blocks around.
The churchgoers were badly fright
ened Many sticks and small pieces OF
debris fell among them.
Three lines of electric light and
telephone wires were broken down by
the steeple, which also broke down
large tree and five or six poles. Several
narrow escapes from broken electric
light wires occurred. The debris was
fired by the heavily charged electric
wires. but the blaze was quickly eNtin-
guishad The street was completely
blocked.

London, Jan. 23.-With wars and ru-
mors of wars agitating the thrones of
the old world: with expeditionary
forces from two separate countries
moving toward common focus in
Egypt, with a half crazy Emperor
tiickering- with a semi-imbecile Gar for
the sppils of Chinese exploitation,
and with an Oriental soldiery. flushed
with the stimulus of a comparatively
recent victory, anxious to fly to arms
for the simple glory of il, the ex-
changes and bourses of the eastern
hemisphere give nc sign of abnormal
pulsations.
This is the wonder of this wonder
working epoch. The flags of defiance
are flying bravely over every capital,
yet securities do not fall.
This proves two things. First. that
financial immolation is as impossible as
commercial isolation in this day of
telegraph lines, submarine cables, and
ocean greyhounds No longer ago than
the early part of this century a king.
when he went 10 war, fought not only
for his throne, but for the integrity of
his state. If the issue of battle went
against him the shifting Of geograph-
ical lines frequently left him without
a country, and, of course, without the
taxing power.
1t is different now. Financiers are
pretty confident that even if England,
for instance, should go 10 war, the Brit
ish government is immortal, and Brit
ain Will finally pay her debts.
The lack of timidity- on the exchanges
also proves that the daily press of
London especially does not enjoy the
confidence of this generation as it en-
joyed the confidence of the genera
tions that have preceded it.
Two essential facts in the Chinese
situation are. first. that England has
taken, a strong line in favor of COM
mercial freedom. and, second, that ia
pan is prepared to fight. Not only has
the admiralty stationed two warships
at Port Arthur and two at Kiae-Chon
as a practical intimation that while
these ports may be converted into ma
val stations, they must remain open to
the commerce of all nations, but the
guarantee a loan of el2 OD0. 900 on con-
ditions which will safeguard the free
dom of commerce. The loan itself has
become a deep intrigue, i'm which sew
eral embassies here are taking an act
i've part Germany is supporting Eng
Iish proposals, while France is second
ing the Russian protest against open
ing Talienwan and menacing England
with serious trouble on the upper Nile.
Germany. after opposing the Russian
nomination of Prince George TO the
governorship OF Crete, has suddenly
veered. and now supports it. Germa-
ny may yet come to the assistance of
Russia in the diplomatic campaign in
China. and show herself unfriendly to
England.
All this intrigue may lead to war, to
be sure. but it would be fought out on
the high seas, far from financial CEN
ters. and there is some reason to be-
lieve that it would stimulate rather
than depress commerce.

SOCIALIST OPPORTUNITY.
Jaures Declares That Events Are
working for Their Good

1aureS Declares Ifat Events Are
Working for Their Good.
Paris. Jan 23.-It is painfully sug
gestfve of a page from the history of
the religious wars of the sixteenth CEN
tury that the two parties today
throughout France arrayed against
each other are in the popular mind de-
signated as Catholics on the one hand
and Jews and Protestants on the other.
Fortunately new causes are arising as
blessings in disguise. Above all is the
specter of Socialism, and the avowed
determination of the leaders of the pro-
letariat to seize the first serious disor-
der to proclaim the social revolution
has wholesome effect in mitigating
the anti-Jewish demonstration.
Reflective persons begin to see that
each excess committed by either side
gives renewed strength to the Socialists,
who. like the third robber in the cable,
hope to secure the whole treasure.

London, Jan "a. - 1t is not unlikely

The Emperor has instructed his am

see how England regards the dismem-
berment plan. Great Britain. as he
well knows. has large commercial in
terests in China. and will not permit
them to be tampered with. no matter
what may be the cost in blood.
His minister was instructed to show
England the great loss she would sus-
tain by China's partiation, and it is be-
heved that his argument was so well
received that he has sent word home
that Japan may rely upon Englands s
aid in the event that dismemberment
begins However, England will not
aid Japan if she starts a war before
the intentions of the two powers is
known.

JAPAN THE FIREBRASD.
She May Embroil All urope in

She May Embroil All Eu rope in a
General War.
London, Jan. 23.--The Emperor of
japan has instructed his representative
at the court of st. James to ascertain
how far England will go to aid Japan
in preventing Russia and Germany
from carrying out their plan of dis
memberinS China. 1t is evident from
this that Japan is preparing to oppose
any scheme of the two European pow
ers to divide up the country of the Ce
lestials il it has to fights The taking OF
this position by the Mikado is not be-
cause of any love for China, but be-
cause of the large Indemnity owed him
by China. The Oriental monarch's
stand is due to self-interest, as was
the course pursued by the European
nations when there ware threats of
tearing Turkey up into bits.
The belief is general that England
will give Japan all the aid in her pow
er to Illustrate the escheme of Russia
and Germany. The statement of Sir
Michael Hicks-Beaeh recently that his
government would not permit any pow
er or powers to interfere with British
trade with China shows that Japan
has come to a government that Will
easily go into an alliance. However,
the answer to the Japanese ambassa-
doris question will be deferred until
England is thoroughly advised on the
dcings in both St Petersburg and Ber-
lin.
There is no doubt that the relations
between England and Russia are more
strained now than they ever were.
This week at Portsmouth an expert
ment will be made in coaling vessels
to see how quick it could be done in
an emergency.
Japan is the firebrand that will start
trouble in Europe over any attempt
to dismember China. She is excited
and impetuous, and may precipitate
war any day. .s-9-

New York, Jan. 23.-Joseph Miller, q
seventeen-year- student at the
New York trades school, was shot and
killed tonight by William II. Watson.
jr., a fellow student, who is twenty
one years old. The shooting appears to
have been accidental.
Watson, who is. under arrest, was
so overcome by the tragedy that he
was hystericaf for hours and unable
to make any statement other than to
Ieiterate repeatedly that the killing
was the result of an accident. Z
The shooting occurred in the dormi-
tory of the school. Miller, who came
frCm Lewiston, Pa. and Watson, whose
home is in Rochester, n. Y, both lived
here. These two youths were said by
their schoolomates to have been great
friends and it was reported in the
school that shortly they were to be-
come T0ommates. iF
A week ago a friend of Watson gave
him a five barreIed revolver. He gave
it TO a friend for safe keeping. To-
night when he and Miller returned from
a walk Watson got the revolver to
show his friend. Watson threw from
the cylinder a number of cartridges.
They fell on the floor Watson picked
them up He has told the police that
he thought he had thrown all the car
tridges out, but he did not. One was
left
Another student who was in the room
writing says that after perhaps five
minutes he heard a click. then there
was another click, and then a sharp
report. He wheeled in his seat and
saw Miller falling backward through
the open doorway into the hall The
hands of the wounded man were raised
TO his head. He lived but a few min
utes. r .s-
Watson was locked up, although the
opinion OF accident is generally held.
