YOUNG BOY DROWNS.
Taken With Cramps mt Cedars While
 Swimming.

Thomas Hill, sixteen years old of 25 Dow street, was drowned yesterday af- ternoon while in swimming at the Cedars. The boy was in water which was not deep enough to cover his shoul- ders when the accident happened While swimming about he was sudden ly taken with cramps and sank from sight.
 Thomas Shaw of 2O6 Hallock avenue was standing on the bank and was nearest to the boy when he sank from sight. He rushed into the water and it took him moment or so to find the boy. As soon as he could he got the body ashore. Young Hill was uncon- scious and physician and some po- licemen worked over him. In the mean- while Captain Tripp of the Howard avenue station had summoned Medical Examiner Bartlett and he quickly ar- rived on the scene. He joined in the at- tempt at resuscitation but all was un- availing and after working on the body for nearly an hour the boy was declared dead. The body was then removed to his home.

CHINA NOW REGARDS
 JAPAN IN NEW LIGHT
ALLIANCE BETWEEN THE TWO
 EMPIRES PREDICTED.

Diplomatic Corps at Pelxin Already Dis-
 cussIng the PrObabilities-"Asia for the Asiatics" the Real Principle to
 be Worked for All and if Necessary
 Fought For-WOuId he One of the
 Greatest Alliance the World Has
 Ever Known.
 Washington, July 2t.-Far eastern advices reaching Washington tell of the marked effect upon the Chinese of the unbroken series O. victories gained by tie Japanese over Russia. Not only has the government been affected. but the people have come to regard Japan in Il new light and the diplomatic corps at Pekin has already begun to discuss the probabilities of an alliance between China and Japan.
 sOn this point a high official, a diplo- mat thoroughly cognizant of the situa- ton at Pekin and in touch with official and popular feeling in China said to- day:
 .~'It will not come to-day or to-rrlor- row, this alliance with Japan, but it is only a question of time when China and Japan will enter into Q strong al- liance, the keynote of which shall be the deyeopment of the far east under the administration of far eastern peo- ples. China would be the loser by such a union at this time, because she has not enough to offer Japan to insure an alliance of mutual benefit; but say ten years from now is the dream, and I believe 1t will be the realization, of those to whom Asia for the Asiatics' is a real principle to be worked for and, if necessary, fought for, that nina and Japan will form a, strong de- fensive alliance which willS insure the preservation of their sovereignty over all territories now in their possession. !"
 ~''Advices from the best official sources lin China tell of the increasing regard felt by the Chinese for the Japanese and ar-sighted men of both countries be- cause they see in this the cornerstone o1 what fen years from now will be one of the strongest alliances the world ever saw"
 You do not think that Russia and Japan after the treaty of Washington is signed will become allies?" this official was asked
 Fl do not believe the Japanese will ac- cept any such offer,' he replied.

BRITISH MINISTRY IN
 VERY SERIOUS PLIGHT
PREMIER BAEFOUR HOLDS 4
 CONFERENCE WITH KING EDWARD.

It is Understood That He Has Decided
 to Remain in office Until End ot
 Present Session and to Dissolve Par.
 Parliament in OctOber-Ruse of the
 Liberals and Nationals WhicI
 Brought About The Defeat of tho
 Government.
 London, July 22.-It is understood that that Premier Balfour has decided to remain in office until the end of the session and to dissolve parliament in October. No authoritative statement however, will be made until Monday and in the interim this decision may be modified.
 Premier Balfour was in conference with the king yesterday.
 The crisis has assumed a serious aspect owing more to the circumstances attending the defeat of the government Thursday night on the vote for the support of the Irish land commission than to the intrinsic aspect of the vote itself. The vote was actually due to the slackness or to the indifference of the governments own supporters. Whos despite the strongest possible whip en- forcing the necessity of their attend- ance on that particular night, allowed themselves to be lulled into false con- fidenee by the ruse of the liberals and tnationalists in keeping their men in the background until the critical mos ment arrived. That this was allowed to happen immediately after Mir Bal- four had called a meeting of his party Ito impress upon his supporters the need Eof their absolute loyalty seems to con tvince MT. Balfour of the uselessness of attempting to face another session of parliament, but as the holding of eIec- west and for other reasons would be most ineonvenient to, the country, he decided to wait until autumn before Edissolving parliament. Premier Ball. four's audience of King Edward yes- terday lasted only ten minutes, and 1t l is supposed that he intimated the fore- lgoing decision to his majesty
 Among the various rumors current IS one to the effect that the premier needs another cabinet meeting before reach- ling decision, and also that he desires 1 to convene the members of his party for the purpose of consulting them, but lboth of these rurnors are improbable.
 A more likely report, thesssss he lsses las. l yet been confirmed, is that the liberals l will withdraw or postpone.
 1 Sir Edward Grey's motion of censure on the government regarding the fiscal question, which was scheduled for dis tcussion Monday and Tuesday, may lforce the government to take it's own means of rehabilitating itself.

Temporary quarters ashore were al ranged for the wounded and sixty cit izens volunteered and hurried in launches to the relief of those on the ship. Some of the volunteers were unable to stand tre sickening sight which met their gaze on the Benning- ton. As fast as the wounded could be removed they, were hurried in ann GbuIances, carriages, wagons and auto mobiles to hospitals. For long time the hot steam prevented access to the space between decks, where most of the dead bodies lay, and it was not until removed from the boiler rooms.
 Several bodies were so tightly wedged in by bulkhead that the wood work had to be hewed away to free them.
 When the explosion occurred the chief engineer was inspecting the boilers. He was not seriously injured. Officers and men who were able to assist in rescue, acted in a brave and collected man. ner.
 Pumps were manned to keep the wa ter from the upper compartments, the magazine was flooded and men fought their way through the steam into the darkened hold Many slightly injured sailors remained in the ship and assist ed in rescuing the more severely in- jured.
 The ships inner works are mass of tangled machinery and the vessel prob ably will have to be dismantled to re- pair the injuries if indeed the warship is not a total loss.
 Lieutenant Yates. executive officer in charge of the Bennington at the time of the disaster was in the after cabin.

WARD AND LARNED BEATEN
English Tennis Cracks Score First
 Hood in Singles.

London, July 21.-The tennis at Vim bledon to-day in the opening stages of the championship round for the Dwight F. Davis international cup between the American and the English teams was exceptionally brilliant. The American representatives, Holcombe Ward and William A. Larned, were beaten in the singles. Ward won the first two sets from Hugh l.. Doherty by playing the best tennis of the day Ward was tired out, however, and then Doherty went away in brilliant style, winning the next three sets. s.
 In the match between Larned and S. K. Smith the Englishman waited for the inevitable fault by which he could put a point to his credit. The Ameri- can played more brilliantly, but his brilliancy lost him the game.
 The Americans are two points behind, but they hope to win the doubles to morrow. King Edward is expected to attend either tomorrow or Monday.
