RUSSIA NOT ALARMED.
Her French Alliance Shuts off Danger
from Anglo Japanese.

st. Petersburg. March 20.-The Official
Messenger in publishing the Franco-Rus-
sian declaration relative to the Anglo
japanese convention (cabled to The AS
ISOLATED Press. Wednesday evening". ac-
companies it with an official statement as
follows.
THE imperial government received with
the most perfect calm the announcement
of the Anglo-Japanese agreement The
principles which have guided Russian
policy since the beginning of the disturb
ance in China remain and will remain
invariably. Russia insists on the main
tenance of independence and integrity Of
China, friendly, neighborinS country, a.;
well as that of Corea.
Russia desires the preservation of the
status quo and general peace in the far
East by the construction of the great
Siberian Railroad. together with its
branch line through Manchuria towards
a port always ice free. Russia aids in the
extension in the regions of the commerce
and industry of the whole world. Would
it be to her, interest to put forward OBJ
stacles at the present time? ,
1.-THE intention expressed by Great Bri-
tain and Japan to attain those same OBJ
iects which invariably have been pursued
by the Russian government, can meet
with nothing but sympathy in Russia. in
spite of the comments in certain political
spheres and in some of the foreign news
papers which endeavored to present in
quite a different light the impassive attl-
tude of the imperial government towards
a diplomatic act, which in its eye does
not change in any way the general sftua-
ton of political horizon"

The ST. JOHN FREsHET.
Heavy Loss to Roads and Bridges
Fredericton.

ST. John, N. B., March 20.-The
freshct situation on the st. John river
is more serious, tonight. The big jam
of ice at Hartland broke at O'Clock.
this afternoon and with a roar the mass
started down river. 1t was the worst
ever seen there, being piled to great
height.
1t was feared the new bridge was
doomed, but it withstood the fearful
strain and was little damaged. The
departure of the ice caused a rapid
drop of water. The Canadian Pacific
tracks had been feet submerged, but
soon were clear and trains which had
been stalled 2S hours got under way
again.
The ice jammed again few miles
down the river but broke and at 8
o'clock, tonight, was running thickly
past Woodstock. The greatest danger
now is for the big railway and highway
bridges at Fredericton, where the run
ming ice should reach, tomorrow.
Reports from various counties tell of
destruction of more small bridges and
damage to roads. Hon. c. III. Labellois.
commissioner of public works for New
Brunswick, estimates from reports to
hand that the freshet means a loss of
$4,000 SO far TO the provincial treasury.

Mr.. Perkins said j. p. Morgan Il Co.
bought about $7S,00o,0O0 of Northern Pa
cific stock from Union Pacific interests
after the Northern Securities Co. was
formed in November. About sl0,00J,00l
was paid in cash and the restSwas to jbt

ties Co.

Pacific interests, ]. p. Morgan & Co. sold
it to the Northern Securities Co., receiv-
ing therefor S1o,o00,0J0 in cash and the bal
ance in stock. The cash received from

100000 worth of Northern Pacific stock
between May / and 8, 1902 Mr.. Perkins
was asked by Judge Lancaster. The wit
ness said he had no knowledge of any
such transaction. Judge Lancaster then
asked for a list of all the members of the
firm of ]. p. Morgan & Co. ;
A conference ensued. during which 1t
was suggested that subpoenas might be
issued for some of the membars orfor all.
The next witness was A. p. Clough, vice

shares more. There were 100000 shares
of Great Northern in existence, he said.
OF Northern Pacific stock 1900 900 par
value had been turned over to the North
ern Securities Co.

to be given the proxy of Mr.. Hartman
in the Union Pacific in exchange for Mr..
Hartman being placed on the boards of

BRITISH YACHTSMEN
Pleased at Thought of Columbia Sail
ing in Their Waters.

London, March 20.-The Yachting
World enthusiastically halls the sug-
yestion that j. Pierpont Morgan may
race the Columbia in European waters
as being a business-like and sporting
declaration and declares that nothing
would so enthrall public interest as a
series of matches between the famous
up defender and one of the Shamrocks,
preferably Shamrock 1. The paper
adds:
"One great advantage of such a
series sailed in British waters would be
20 settle in a measure the vexed ques-
ton whether, in races off Sandy Hook,
the British challenger must always sail
to some disadvantage and it would also
decide whether, with her altered sail
plan, the older boat is much faster
boat than when she made her famous
bid for the cup"
The Yachting World assumes from
what Sir Thomas Upton says that
there is strong probability of the
matches coming off and concludes: 1T
only remains for the Royal Yacht
Squadron to offer a trophy worthy of
the event and thus bring matters to a
head"

many and varied lawsuits, was found
dead in her Back Bay residence, 10 New
bury street, this afternoon. Her body,
badly disfgured, lay on top of the ele-
vator, which was on the basement floor,
and had evidently been there three or
four days.
There is no suspicion of foul play, as
Medical Examiner Draper, after max
ing an examination of the body, report
ed death due to an accident.
Mrs. French, who was 20 years old,
and lived alone, apparently fell from
the third floor in the elevator we'll to
the elevator canopy. The conditions
suggested that Mrs. French was trying
to tighten Il loose nut on the elevator
well door, standing on a chair at the
time. A misstep threw her headlong
into the well.
She had not been seen by any of her
friends or neighbors for at least four or
five days.
The condition of the body indicates
that she must have died about Monday

the Boer delegates, who have been in
this country for some weeks. sailed on

ne did not believe the ammunition found

intended for the Beers.
THE Boer war is a long way from
ending as yet" he said. I'VE have
10000 troops in the field, today, and
they are fit and strong. l asked the
President to appoint a commission of
army officers to review the conduct of
the Boer-British war, but whether he
will do so / cannot say.
The Beers have been blamed for
the wearing of British uniforms in a
battle" continued Mr. Vessels. We'll,
the Beers have no uniforms of their
own and therefore when they run out
of wearing apparel the only way that
they are able to procure it is to take
some British soldiers clothes"

1926 LIVES ENDANGERED
BY Burning Of Dormitory at Kentucky
~ Reform School.

Lexington, KY, March 20.-The
Bradley dormitory at the State School
OF Reform near this city was destroyed
by fire, shortly after midnight, but all
the inmates, numbering 125 boys, were
saved.
The fire was discovered in the third
story of the dormitory at 1925 o'clock
by the night Waterman. The inmates
of the building were promptly aroused
and gotten out safely without disorder.
The officials and the boys went to
work to save the office furniture, but
the flames spread quickly and the DOR
mitory was soon in ruins. A telephone
message was sent here for help. The
local fire department quickly respond
ed and an engine was started at once.
They had about six miles to go, and
although they were too late to save any
part of the dormintory, they prevented
the flames spreading to the manual
training building which is near the dor
mitory. At 10 o'clock the dormitory
collapsed and at o'clock the fire was
practically extinguished.
The burned building was erected in
1896 at a cost of $4,000 and was insured
for two thirds of it's value. 1t was the
only dormitory completed at this time
excepting the one occupied by the girls
three quarters of a mile away.
In it were the superintendent and his
family, the guards and the white boys
numbering about 125. The burning of
the building leaves these young Offend
ers and the superintendent without
quarters.
Two boys, inmates of the school, are
missing and it is believed they escaped
during the fire. The management of
the institution was convinced that the
building was set on fire by the boys
who had planned to escape. but that
the prompt action of the nightman in
turning in the alarm frustrated the
plan.
The superintendent has called out the
guards and they, armed with Winches-
tiers and shotguns, are holding the boys
under control.
Superintendent Doak will not say the
fire was incendiary, because complete
investigation has not been made, but
J. +. Walton, on the board of direc-
tors. says he has information that will
lead tc arrests during the day.

AT the opening of the session or the
House, Hull, Iowa, reported the army
appropriation bill The House then re-
sumed consideration of the river and
barbOr bill.
Several minor committee amend
ments were adopted. Robertson, La,
offered an amendment to appropriate
81, $780, 900 for the improvement of Ha-
vana harbor.
Burton, in charge of the BILL fmmedi-
ately made point of order against the
amendment. Robertson contended that
such an appropriation would relieve the
depression said to exist in Cuba and in
addition would do much toward free
ing our Southern coast from the dam
ger of yellow fever infection from Gu
ban ports. He thought the expenditure
of this sum would help Cuba much
more at this time than 20 per cent
reduction on the products entering
United States ports. The amendment
was ruled out on the point of order.
Cooper, Texas, offered an amendment
to increase the appropriation for Sabine
lake, Texas, from $4,000 to s150,000 and
urged it's adoption on account of the
enormous oil development in the vicin-
ity of Beaumont. He made a glowing
speech predicting a wonderful future
for this region. The amendment was
lost, 81 to 81.
Gambler, Miss, also made a fervent
but unsuccessful appeal for the i'm
provement of the Tombigee in his state.
His speech established him as a not
unworthy successor of Private" John
Allen. who long enjoyed the reputation
of the wit of the House."
Bellamy, N. c., offered an amend
ment to appropriate $25O,O0O for the
Cape Fear river above Wilmington. II
was lost. 81 to 81.
In speaking to the amendment Bel
lamy referred briefly to the prospective
investigation of Southern election laws
deprecating it as an attempt to revive
sectional strike and ill feeling. The
South, he said, had reached solution
of it's difficulties after many years
when this proposition was advanced
which would undo all that had been
accomplished toward establishing peace
and prosperity. The South, he said
was sick and tired of sectional strife
Her people loved the Union and were
proud of it's honor and achievements
He asserted that for sinister purposes
some members on the other side were
again sowing the seeds of discord and
he appealed to the conservative, fair
minded men of the Republican party
to vote down proposition fraught
with so much evil to the South.
Several other amendments for appro-
priations for rivers in Tennessee and
Kentucky were voted down.
After completing 30 additional pages
of the bill the House at 5.15 p. M. ad.
journed.

Auburn, N. Y, March 20.-Coroner
Laird, Thursday, announced his verdict
in the Aureles wreck on the New York
Central in which six lives We're lost. He
finds that the accident was due to reck-
lessness and carelessness of Engineer
Durand and Conductor Butler of the
wrecking train, which was running
without orders and had no right of way.
The train should never have left Cayu-
ga until the passenger train had pass
ed. He recommends that the New York
Central double track the Auburn

that Conductor Butler would be arrest
ed and held for manslaughter.

he wanted to go out for quiet stroll,
said he, "the President would climb out
of back window. get out of the grounds
by the back gate and go up back al
ley Qaughter).
Mooney in opposing the bill suggested
that 1t was the product of the hysteria
produced by President McKinleys assas-
sination. He objected to it because its
effect would be to establish the inequality
of men before the law. The bill was sim
ply another tendency toward an imperial
government.
Money denounced anarchy and Anar-
chists, saying that If measure could be
devised that would rid the country Of
Anarchists he would support it, They
ought to be stamped out as are vermin,
but Congress. actuated by hysteria,
ought not put on the statute books a law
that could not and would not be en-
forced.
McLaurin (Miss.). after expressing his
own and his peoples adherence of an
archy and of Anarchists, said that he
could not support the pending measure.
In its present shape he believed the bill
to be unconstitutional. 1t would estab-
lish inequality before the law and to his
mind it would be entirely ineffective.
Another objection, he said, to the meas
IRE was that 1t attached the death pen
atty not only to mere manslaughter but
even to an attempt to commit manslaugh-
ter. The state laws were amply sufficient
to protect the President.

WIRELESS TELEPHONY.
Successful Test of Third of Mile Made
at Washington.

Washington, March 20.-A practical
test of wireless telephony over a dis
lance of third of mile was conduct
ed on the Potomac river just above this
city, today, with partial success. Small
instruments were used. A wire was
grounded on the shore and wires from
n small boat stationed a third of
mile across the river were dropped over
the stern. With the instruments in OPP
Grafton, those who participated in the
test announced that they recognized
the sound of harmonica, though it
was partially indistinct, and also heard
human voices engaged in counting at
the other end. Similar experiments
over land were conducted with more
satisfactory results.
