TRIPLE ALLIANCE AT END.
Relations Between Austria and Italy
Near Breaking Point.

Vienna, Nov 6.-The attack upon
the Italian students at Innsbruck
Thursday occasions great solicitude
here There is no attempt to disguise
in certain official circles the appre-
hension that the relations between
Austria and Italy, which have been
strained for some time, are now near
the breaking point. 1t is we'll known
that the antl-Austrian feeling through
cut Italy will be greatly increased by
the unfortunate events OF Thursday,
and the public feeling which has long
been excited under the propaganda OIL
the Dante Alighier society may be-
come intamed to war pitch.
There can be no doubt that, not
withstanding the earnest efforts otthe
German emperor and of Count Won
Buelow, to pour oil upon the troubled
waters, the triple alliance is practi-
cally at an end.
The trouble was revived recently
by the failure to renew the CONNER
cial treaty between the two countries.
The. Hungarian government opposed
the renewal because OF the competi-
tion of Italian wines and product, and
the Italian and AustrO- Hungarian gov
ernments were forced to go under a
modus vivendi. There was constant
complaint, in the southern provinces
of Austria, of ill-treament of Italians
by the German element and of like ILL
treatment of Austrians in Italy, which
eliminated in series of distrub-
ances throughout Italy some time ago,
during which the escutcheons of the
Austrian consulates in several large
cities OF Italy were disfigured.

JOHN TlNkLER DEAD.
Was Former County Officer and
Ranchman in Valley.

ndNCnmdn III valley.
Word of the death of John Tinker,
who was known by nearly every citi-
zen in the county about IL years ago,
is received in the city in news dis
patch from Kansas City under date
OF November 4, as follows:
John Tinker, janitor of an office
building in this city, who was found
shot dead in his room, is said to have
been a wealthy sheepman in Montana,
he having failed because of the col
lapse of the wool market in 1892. He
was the son Of wealthy steel manu-
facturer of Sheffield, England, and in
herited his fathers estate"
Prior to the admission of Montana
to statehood Mr.. Tinker occupied for
a term the position of clerk OF the
district court. He subsequently en-
gagged in ranching about six miles
west of town and finally drifted into
the Big Horn basin country in Wyom-
ing, where he engaged in livestock
business. Domestic difficulties fol-
lowed and Mrs Tinker committed sui
eide at a road house while on her way
from Wyoming home to Billings.
About the time of the suicide OF
Mrs. Tinker, Mr.. Tinker went east
and it was reported that he became
involved in financial transaction
which landed him in Jail. The Tink-
Ter family had one child, a boy about
10 years of age, when Mr.. Tinker LETT

JAPs WILL ASSUME AGGRESSIVE.
Waiting for Re-Enforcements to Drive
Russians Out Of Mukden.

Mukden, Nov. 6-Quiet continues
here. The Japanese are still WORKING
hard entrenchlng their front, which be-
gins to look like continuous fort 1t
is beleved they are preparing serl-
ously to advance, making their front
strong, possibly in order that it may
be held by small force while the
heavier force engages in fianking
movements.
The Japanese have learned from bit
ter experience not to expect much
from frontal attack. They are
obliged, however, to maintain a strong
front to prevent General Kuropatkin
from breaking through their line and
carrying the war to their rear
There is considerable evidence to
indicate that the Japanese will make
every effort to force the Russians out
of Mukden, not only for the moral ef-
feet in Europe, but on the Chinese as
we'll. Mukden is extremely important
to them as winter quarters.
The Japanese continue to receive re-
infrocements and it is believed by
Russian military men that their ad-
vancing depends only upon accumulat-
ing sufficient men.

SENSATIONAL STORIES.
Russians Claim to Have Proof Of Plot
to Destroy Fleet.

W SVSeIVy sSSS
st. Petersburg, Nov. 6, 1:1O a. M
The Associated Press has not obtained
official confirmation OF the sensational
report that intercepted documents
from the Japanese minister at The
Hague would be produced in the court
of inquiry into the recent North sea
affair to prove the existence OF plan
to destroy the Russian Baltic fleet.
There is said to be good ground for
believing the report to be true, and
there are many Indication that the
Russian government has been long in
possession of strong evidence of Jap
anese plan to intercept all OF Admiral
Rojestvensky's warships. This ex-
plains the willingness of Russia to
submit the case to international arbl-
tration. She wEuld sNlrcely have pro-
posed this counrse unless convinced
that she had strong cause.
1t also develops that Emperor Mich
olas, during an audience with British
Ambassador Hardinge last Sunday,
declared in the most positive terms
that there were Japanese torpedo
boats in the North sea. Apparently
Denmark was impressed with the
same belief. The Russian empress
dowager, who was then in Copenha-
gen, naturally did not fail to commu-
nicate to her father the communica-
ton received by her from st. Peters
burg. This would account for the ex-
traordinary precautions adopted by the

HOLD UP A SALOON.
Pay Visit to Place and Rob Owner
and Customer.

Anaconda, Nov. 6.-Three masked
men entered the saloon of j. B. Sulli-
van, at the corner OF Montana street
and Broadway, about o'clock yester-
day morning and at the point OF guns
took what money they could get from
the proprietor and from two custom
ers, Bruno Quaas and William Mona
han. The men came in the front door.
One OF them covered Sullivan with a
revolver and ordered him to throw up
his hands. Another looked after the
two customers, and the third attended
to pulling down the shades of the
windows, so that no one could see
from the outside what was going on
within.
Something like $50 was taken from
the cash register, $18 from Quaas and
some loose silver from Monahan. The
robbers got from the safe about So in
money, a woman's gold watch and
chain and two revolvers. Sullivan usu-
ally wears a big diamond stud. The
robbers evidently knew this, as one OF
them examined his shirt front. Fortu-
nately, Sullivan had left the diamond
at home The men also forgot to take
Quaas' gold watch and chain.
When they had finished their job the
three men went out the front door and
ran west on Broadway. Quaas also
ran out the side door and gave the
alarm by firing his revolver, whichhad
been in his overcoat, the garment hav-
ing been thrown on a chair.
The police have no clew as yet to
the robbers.

He Shoots Hinnself,

Dillon, Nov. 6.-News reached here
Saturday that Jacob Hartwig, we'll
known and prosperous rancher living
near Willis, attempted suicide by
shooting himself with a revolver. The
bullet entered near the top Of the
mans head, but did not penetrate the
skull, though making a bad scalp
wound. A physician was summoned
from Melrose and the wound was
dressed.
Domestic trouble is said to have
been the reason for Hartwig's attempt
to end his life. He is reported to have
had a number of quarrels with his
wife recently, and it was after one Of
these that he resolved to end all his
difficulties.
