ANGLO-JAPANESE TREATY
ASSURES INDlA'S FUTURl
CONTINUED from Page y

as was intended, the most powerful
factor for peace. l hope that the
people of both countries will realize
this and keep to the spirit Of the
treaty for a very long time to come. 7"
Sir Charles Dixie, in speaking of
the alliance took the position that the
new treaty makes no change in the
pre-existing status quo but said it
was an inevitable consequence Of the
new conditions in the far east and
that it was certainly stronger guar
hntee of the maintenance of peace
than the previous alliance.
He argued that Russia never real
ly was menace to the Indian from
tier, but merely played on the sus-
capabilities of Great Britain. With
regard to Persia, Sir Charles did not
believe that Russia would ever risk
quarrel with India
In reality said he, "the coun-
tries most affected are France and
Germany, because to both the new
treaty secures possessions which they
might have found it impossible to de-
fend.
Deals Blow to Germany.
ITO France the arrangement is en-
tirely satisfactory. With Germany
the case may be different, because 1t
deals a blow ct the aspirations which
Germany Is supposed to entertain with
regard to the province Of Shantung
and because Germany's present priv
ileged position in Shantung may be-
come nonresident by reason Of the
treaty
Germany, therefore, may have
some slight feeling of irritation be-
cause Of the limitation thus imposed.
It is only in this respect that the
treaty is likely to give rise to any
permanent unpleasantness. In all
other respects it makes for peace"
While there is some criticism Of the
treaty in the radical newspapers It is
only half-hearted and as whole Lon
don, which has Eeen anxiously await
ing the breaking of the official silence
with regard to the document, heaves 2
sigh of relief and greets with great
satisfaction the positive assurance Of
the future assistance of a powerful
Oriental ally in all matters pertaining
to far eastern policies.

From Tuesdays Daily
Thomas Mckinley, miner who re.

injured about 8 o'clock this morning
while at work in Rutledge mine No. S.
Mr.. Mckinley is a driver and while
driving "trip" of cars was caught
and crushed forward by a low roof.
The skin is scraped off the back quite
extensively, but this is not the serious
part of the injury. The spine is in
jured and internal injury is also feared.
The full extent of the injury is not vet
known, but it is to be hoped that it
will not be as serious as it now seems.

GETS HIS UNO BEER.
ANALYSIS Shows That 1t Is Within Linn.
il and II Is Returned to Mr.. Barney.

II will be remembered that, on the
morning of July II, Officer Carl Wey-
mouth made 4 seizure of 10 half-barrelS
of LIQUID marked "UnO beer winch Were
to be held pending an investigation,
as to the real character of their con-
tents. The freight was consigned to
Henry Barney Of this city. who. upon
learning that the stuff had been seized,
immediately betook himself to the office
of the city marshal and protested
against keeping the liquor the length
of time allowed by law before the an
alysiS. He explained that he had
bought the beer for wholesale purposes.
that it had been engaged by parties
waiting for the same, and, furthermore.
should it be kept in the basement of
the City building that length of time.
during the extreme hot weather, 1t
woulG probably not be worth the taxi
ing away when released.
The city marshal saw the justice of
his plea and promised to have the
liquor analysed at once. Professor A.
d. Sorensen of Colby College. an ex-
pert in chemistry, who is readily
recognized as such in this community,
was accordingly employed by Marshal
Adams to make the analysis. THIS was
s.traightway done and he returned his
decision to the effect that the stuff con-
tanned no more than the legal limit of
alcohol. Mr.. Barney. however, had the
bill of goods which indicated on the
word of the shippers that the 10 barrels
contained Uno beer. pure and simple.
He claimed. moreover. that the shippers
were ready to stand by their statement,
and. to back up his confidence, he soon
received word from them asking for a
more authoritative analysis. 1t was
finally decided to have the beer submit
ted to State Assayer Ora w. Knight of
Bangor. both parties agreeing to ac-
cept as court evidence the statement
rendered by him.
On Saturday morning, Judge Shaw
received from Mr.. Knight the record of
his analysis showing that the beer con-
tanned between . and 8 per cent. alcohol
and no malt. The case. accordingly.
was settled in favor of Mr.. Barney and
the liquor none the worse for it's long
confinement. was returned 10 Mr.. Bar
nry, before the noon of the same day.

CURED on the guuboat Bennington as it

lawn Of r. Wesley Dunn. measuring
nearly Is inches i'll diameter, became
unable to support its own weight and
broke at the base. telling about 10 feet
in a perpendicular position and then
sweeping all before it as it lay itself
down across the entire width of the
avenue. A Waterville & Fairfield
Electric car was, within two minutes
of the time of the occurrence, due to
pass that particular spot. and had the
limb fallen a moment earlier, the con-
seuuents would have been awful to
contemplate. Perhaps a still narrower
escape should not be overlooked. At
The time when the fibreS We're tearing

lady. was passing underneath the
swaying branches. The driver Shrek

happy effect.
In short time the electricians OF
the road were busily occupied in clear
ing away the limbs and in warning
people not to come near the branches.
In spite Of the fact that, from time to
time, while the workmen were apply
ing every energy to clear the track.

to be disconnected from the trolley and
