ONE MAN KILLED.
Row in Capt. streeter's ssDfstrict Of
Lake Michigan" Chicago, Re-
suits Very Disastrously.

Chicago, Feb. IL. - The expected
has happened. Blood has flowed in
''Streeterville," the strip of made
land along the lake shore ON the
North side of this city, incorporated
as the District of Lake Michigan"
by Capt. Streeter several years ago,
and which has been fought for by
him against the millionaire property
owners along the Lake Shore drive.
Tuesday night shortly before seven
o'clock, Henry NJ. Cooper, attorney
for the residents along the drive, and
a policeman from the East Chicago
avenue station were walking along
the dead line The dead line is
an imaginary line patroled on one
side by watchmen for the residents
and on the other by ''Streeter men,"
They were ordered away by Streeter
and two of his aids. They refused
er over the head with the butt of
his Winchester, knocking him down.
The policeman fed. Cooper got up
and quickly followed the polceman's
example.
| Soon after shots were heard COM
ing from the direction in which they
had come. The policeman and Coop
er, after turning in riot call, re-
turned and found John S. Kirk, a
Waterman for the residents, shot
through the head. By this time the
patrol wagons began arriving loaded
with policemen, and Kirk was taken
to hospital near by. His death oc-
Cured in short time.
| Following this came the arrest OF
| 'sBilly" McManners, a Streeter guard,
and his two associates, after they had
threatened repeatedly to shoot Capt.
Revere, and the tame surrender OF
Streeter. The police also arrested Sam
uel Protine, the Waterman, who, with
Kirk, resisted the attack of the Nc
Manners crowd. All the prisoners,
with the exception of Protine, are held
as Jointly responsible for the death
of Kirk, and will not be allowed to give
bonds until after the coroner's inquest.
Meanwhile Capt. Revere, of the East
Chicago avenue police station, will as
| sumo the direction of affairs in the dis
trict. Two versions of the shooting
are given, but the police have no doubt
as to the identity of the man who fired
the fatal shot. McManners admits he
was the only person on his side of the
| battlefield who fired rifle.

Japan and Great Britain Sign Treaty
to Preserve Independence of
COrea and China.

London, Feb. 12.-Japan and Eng
land have signed fve-years' treaty
guaranteeing to prevent dismember-.
ing of Corea or China. In case of
war they are to stand together
against aggression. The announce,
ment made in parliament Tuesday
night that England had abandoned
it's splendid isolation and entered in
to Il defensive alliance with Japan
has created tremendous sensation
here. The negotiations had been con-
Quoted with so much secrecy that the
news was an absolute surprise to
even those close to the government.
The announcement was launched
IN the form of parliamentary pa
per, giving the text of the agree
ment. 1t was concluded in London
between Lord Lansdowne, secretary
for foreign affairs, and Baron Haya-
shi, the Japanese minister, and was
forwarded by the former on Janu-
airy 80 to Sir Claude Mcdonald, the
British minister at Toxic In ex-
PLANTATION, the paper says the agree
ment may be regarded as an outcome
of the events of the last two years.
Throughout the Boxer troubles Great
Britain and Japan had been in close
and uninterrupted communication
and actuated by similar views.
1--WE each DESIRE" says Lord Lans-
downe, that the integrity and indie
pendence of the Chinese empire
should be preserved, and that there
should be no disturbance of the ter
ritorial status quo, either in China
or the adjoining regions" He con-
tinues:
1.-The discovery that their far eastern poll
icies were identical resulted in each party
to the agreement expressing its desire that
their common policy find expression in an
international contract of binding validity,
Lord Lansdowne further says: "The
British government was largely Influenced
In entering upon this important contract
by the conviction that 1t contains no pro-
visions which can be regarded as agrees
sive or self-seeking." He says it is con-
Guided merely as measure OF precaution,
and that it in no way threatens the present
position or legitimate interests of other
powers. His majesty's government trusts
that the agreement will be of mutual adj
vantage to the two countries and make
for the preservation of peace. And, should
peace unfortunately be broken, it will have
the effect of restricting the area of hos
tilities.'

ELEVEN BURNED TO DEATH.
Lives In a Hotel Fire MT
St. Louis.

st. Louis, Feb. 1o.-An early morn
ing fire, which destroyed the Empire
hotel, large three-story lodging
house at 27o0 and 27o2 Olive street,
caused the death of II persons, ten
men and one woman, and dangerous
ly injured eight others. Ten or more
who had narrow escapes from death
in the fire were more or less injured
by being frost bitten. 1t is estimated
that there were between 35 and 40
persons in the building Saturday
night, and it is believed all have been
accoutedn for. The financial loss is
nominal. 1t is thought that $4,000
will cover the damage to building and
contents, which were totally de-
stroyed.
