1t Is Interpreted to Mean a New Alignment
 of the Powers
Expression by the Emperor of Preference for Germany Over France-A Prediction of the Dissolution of the Russian French Alliance

St. Petersburg, Jan. 27.-A new grouping of the powers of Europe. with Germany and Russia arrayed side by side in the closest friendship and the matched alliance of the em- pire with republican France tagging in the rear, was forecasted by the words of Emperor Nicholas at a gala luncheon at Tsarskoe-Selo today in honor of Emperor Williams birthday. Rising to his feet before a brilliant company of Russian and German rep resentatves to propose a toast to the German emperor, Emperor Nicholas lifted his glass and said slowly and distinctly. as if weighing every word :: II drink to the health of the emperor of Germany and the king of Prussia, my brother and very dear friend-'
 The phrases chosen were significant enough in themselves, the emperor in previous years having proposed the health of the emperor-king without the qualifying expression oi brother hood and friendship; but, turning to Herr Won Schoen, the German ambas- sador. who was standing al his right, the emperor grasped him by the hand

BANK WRFCKtRS
 MAY BE PROSECUTED
But the Government Lacks Evidence
 Against the Enter: :rise Officials.

Pittsburg, Jan 27.-Rev. A. c. Dieff- enbach, pastor of the Reformed Church of the Ascension of Allegheny, who has recently carried on correspondence with President Roosevelt in connection with the failure of the Enterprise Ma tionaI bank of Allegheny made public letter today which he received from the presidents secretary, Wm. Loeb, Jr, and which contained a report made to President Roosevelt by Attorney General Moody concerning the inves- tigation now in progress and the prob ability of prosecuting persons alleged to be responsible for wrecking the in- stitution.
 The letter quotes the attorney gen eral as reporting to the president as follows: "The bank was footed and the records destroyed. It is exceeding ly difficult therefore to ascertain the facts with sufficient accuracy to jus tify the beginning of criminal action and it would be very unwise to give out any statement until we know ex- actly the situation. Rev. MT. Dieffen- bach asks for information which think it would be highly improper To furnish now. As the result of patient and laborious investigation We hope eventually to prosecute the parties who were responsible for wrecking the bank"

EXCLUSION OF MINERS
 FROM MEXICAN STATES
A Consul Of the Republic Give the
 Reason for the Order.

Fl Paso, Jan. 27-The denial of the Mexican consul at San Diego that Mexico had issued orders against Am ericans filing claims on mines in Sono- ra and Lower California is not favor ably received here. Such an order is out. All American consuIs general in Mexico are understood to nave it and Mexican Consul General Mallen at Fl Paso confirms the dispatch sent here that orders have positively been issued against allowing all foreigners to file claims in these two states.
 Consul Mallen said today: My government has issued orders forbid ding foreigners to locate mining claims in Sonora and Lower California for the reason that the governments of those two states have been misrepresented by irresponsible parties. so the best thing for us to do is to keep out for eign miners awhile"

Texas. in a reply to the war depart ment's request for information con- corning the condition of the sixth bat tery of field artillery, which recently made q long march, says he made a personal inspection and found men and horses in good condition.
 The general says: "The statement that the men were a sorry appearing set. the clothing in tatters, that the men were haggard and lean and that the horses resembled moving skele- tons. is sensational, misleading and without substantial foundation

From that time forward the dipner was conducted as if the correspondents and their guests were beside the big ditch.
