WHAT COMES NEXT.

ANglO-Japanese Treaty May be Fol-
lowed by Other Alliances.
London. Feb. 15-Many British states
men believe that the Anglo-Japanese
treaty is likely to become the mother of
number of international alliances
profoundly affecting Europe and Asia.
1t is thought that the next move may
be al understanding between England
AMI Russia, defining the spheres of
in that vast region between AsiatiL
Turkey and India bordering on the Per-
sian gulf and the Arabian sea. Those
Britjshers who favor such an under
standing. among whom are several
highly placed officials, will Immediately
press the adoption of their policy,
warning the cabinet that, unless that
steo be taken promptly, Germany
Is Almost Certain
to make an arrangement with Russia
for the management Of Central Asian
affairs without regard to British ideas
or susceptibility. They declare that,
while Russia probably interprets the
AnEIo-Japanese compact as aimed di-
rectly at her, she cannot fail to appre-
cia-e how greatly it strengthens Eng
laad, and, therefore, will wish to cast
nef lot IN Central Asia With Britain
rather than with Germany.
The Possibility of Russo-Chinese
alliance is contemplated, as well as
various new combinations bearing on
the Levant.ne situation and European
interests in the South Mediterranean.
The British foreign Office does not take
seriously
The Opinion Held
in certain quarters in Germany that
Russia will reply to the Anglo-Japanese
cover ant by renewed aggression in
Manchuria. Such a policy scarcely
could fail to provoke war, for the Brit
ish and the Japanese secretaries have
both declared that Manchuria is a part
Of China, and, therefore, within the
scope of the new treaty guaranteeing
the "status quo" In any such struggle
England and Japan think they would
have surely the sympathetic neutrality.
and, possibly, the concurrent action of
America. They believe the Washing
ton government would never permit
Russia to eXpel American traders and
manufacturers from Manchuria with
out q protest so vigorous as to lead
dangerously near to war.

WRECKED BY ICE FIELDS.
Schooner Is Abandoned by Crew in
IL Sinking Condition.

Cape May, N. j.. Feb. Is. - The
Schooner Frank Herbert, with a cargo
of pine lumber from Opecoke, N. c.,
for New York, was abandoned in a
sinking condition off here yesterday, it
being the second vessel to fall a victim
this week off this coast to the great
ice fields floating out OF Delaware bay.
The distress of the schooner was first
disco yered on shore by the Gold Spring
life savers, who Immediately launched
their yawl and made an attempt to
raa III the vessel. The Herbert was
about five miles off shore, and, owing to
the heavy ice fields the life-savers were
unable to reach the distressed schooner.
Fortunately the tug Harold, with a
tow of harges, hove in sight and after
signalling the barges to anchor the tug
went to the rescue. It was found that
the schooner had been caught in the
ice and that she had been pierced in
several places by the heavy mass. She
was full. of water and sinking, and the
captain of the Herbert declined to
abandon her. Before he and the crew
ware taken off by the Harold the sink
ing vessel was set on fire and was soon
& mass of flames. The fire burned for
sew aral hours after darkness fell.

SIX ARE DEAD, SEVERAL DYING
MOST DESPERATE ENCOUNTER IN
THE HISTORY OF MOUNTAIN
WARFARE.
FEARED TROUBLE IS NOT ENDED
GANG MAY BE ORGANIZED TO
AvENGE DEATH OF NOUN
TAINEl1RS.

Middlesboro, Ky, Feb. IA. - Six are
dead and as many more are dying as a
result of battle between officers from
Middlesboro and mountaineers. Inc
battle, which was one of the most des-
perat things of its kind In the history
Of mountain warfare. occurred between
and G o'clock last evening at Leo
Turner's Quarter House" saloon three
and a half miles from here. Last month
some mules and other goods OF Iurn-
er's were levied on in payment Tor a
debt, and few nights ago, 1t is alleged,
he, with others, went to Virginia, where
the property had been taken, secured
what was formerly his and returned to
the Quarter House." Yesterday Shar-
iff Thompson summoned a posse of ten
or fifteen men for the purpose of ar
resting Turner at his saloon.
Turner Hnd Heard
that an attempt would be made to
arrest him and he and his men, fifteen
in number, gave the officers a warm re-
ception. Turner's surrender was de-
manded. His reply was a round of
shots. Charley Cecil Of Middlesboros
was riding a morse in plain view of the
Turner men. Some one raised q window
of the log house and shot Cecil, who
fell dead. Instantly the man at the
window fell back, pierced by half
dozen bullets. Then the firing began
in earnest. The officers scattered, and,
hiding behind trees and rocks poured a
calling fire into the fortress. In the
fighting John Doyle was badly wound
ed, perhaps fatally, and Simon Bean
WAS shot in the hand. The town men
gathered closer around Taylor's place,
undauEted at the shots which whizZed
around them. AS soon as Cecil was
killed his companions determined to
burn Turner's rendezvous, and in the
Midst of the Battle
man applied torch to an exposed
side of the building. A few minutes
later the building was in flames. Sew
eral of the mountaineers came. to the
window and were Immediately shot
down. The posse surrounded the bar
rica1e, determined to let none escape.
Lee Turner and several of his friends,
however, in some manner escaped and
he is now at Mingo mines, eight miles
from Middlesboro. Several of his men
persisted in the flames It is feared that
the trouble is not at an end. Turner is
not man who is easily cowed, and it
is believed he will organize band and
avonge the death of his friends and the
burning of his saloon. Turner Is a
brother of wild Bill' Turner, who
was killed several years ago. The
Quarter House" is known far and
wide because of the number who have
been killed within its confines. Placing
yesterdays number of deaths at six,
fifty-nine persons have been killed there
and twice that number wounded.

Wounds Himself and Daughter.

New York, Feb. 15--Philemon Crelir,
Il special officer at Milburn, near Or
anse, N. J., at his home last night, shot
his daughter and himself and caused
the death of his wife. Father and
daughter are expected to die. The

their home with the Crelins. Tuesday
night Crelin had quarrel With his wife

knife. The daughter interfered and
saTed her mothers life. Crelin then
threatened to kill Mrs. Ferguson. Last
night when he went off duty he brought
his revolver home with him. While all
the facts are not known at present, it
seems likely that he first shot the
daughter. She was struck by two bull

men and the other her left breast. 1t
is thought he then attempted to shoot
his wife, but she was suddenly seized
with a hemorrhage of the lung and fell
