some keys, which were not for the ne.
groes' cell, however, and the mob was

New Grouping Of the Powers OF cu-
rope believed to De roreshad0wed
Occasion OF Ufiersnces Vas .
BAnauef u Tsarkoe-Ssio IN iioner
OF Williams 0irihdsy.

st. Petersburg, Jan. 29. "A new
grouping Of the powers Of Europe, with
Germany and Russia arranged side by
side in the closest friendship, and the
mismatched alliance of the empire
with republican France tagging in the
rear, was forecasted by the words OF
Emperor Nicholas at a gala luncheon
at Tsarkoe-Selo Saturday in honor OF
Emperor Williams birthday.
Rising to his feet before q brilliant
company of Russian and German Rep
resentatives to propose toast to the
German emperor, Emperor Nicholas
lifted his glass and said slowly and dis
tinctly, as if weighing every word:
IT drink to the health of the Empe-
[ror of Germany and the King Of Prus-
STA, my brother and very dear friend. !"
More Than Ally He Says.
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 of brother
hood and friendship, but, turning to
Herr Won Schoen, the German ambas-
sador, who was standing at his right,
the emperor grasped him by the hand
and is reported to have said: "Frere,
c'est plus gu allie" C''Brother, that's
more than ally.")
The emperor's choice of the word
Tally" indicated that the defensive
alliance with France is still consid-
cred binding, but evidently, as has
been the gossip in diplomatic circles
here for some time, not hair breadth
beyond the terms of the treaty provid-
ing for common action only in case
France is not the aggressor, and there
is no telling how soon it will be al
lowed to pass into desuetude.
The present relations between Ger
many and Russia have been matter
of slow growth, but steady, and signs
of the new alignment have long been
in the air. Since the outbreak of the
Russo-Japanese war the warm per-
sonal friendship always existing be-
tween the two monarchs had been tied
closer, and many material tokens of
pfriendish manifested by Germany
druing the war, compared with the
lukewarm support to which France
was limited by her new-found entente
with Great Britain, has combined to
build up strong Germanophile SEN
timent in influential quarters in st.
Petersburg.
At the same time much of the ne
cessity to France Of the Franco-Rus-
sian alliance vanished when France
clasped hands with Great Britain and
practically assured herself an ally in
case of war.

BODIES
have AEEN RECOVERED

Victoria, B. c., Jan. 31.-One more
body was found yesterday by the pa
trolling parties searching the shore
line in the vicinity of the Valencia
wreck, having been picked up by In
dams near Pachena and placed on
board the tug Bahada, which left
Bamield last night for Seattle via Vic
toria.
All that was found on the body was
a piece of envelope with the address
419h South Mani street, Los Angeles,
and P. G. s. S. Company's baggage
check No. 871S. This is the twenty
second body recovered.
Search for others is being continued,
half dozen tugs and two revenue cut
tiers assisting in the work. Yester-
day morning two landings were made
near where Lineman Logan had eight
bodies recovered by his party tempo
rarily buried in the sand to protect
them from crows near Darling creek.
The tug Wyadda twice sent crews
ashore in a fishing dory, but the
heavy sea made it impossible for the
boats crew to bring off the bodies.
and it has now been decided to bury
these men at the place, ON a beach
near Darling river, above high water
mark. The revenue cutter Grant was
also off Darling creek yesterday.
When she returned to Bamfield creek
and anchored off the cable station for
the night she reported that no assist
ance could be given by the cutter, as
the sea was running too high.
A.. Heelscher of San Francisco who
lost brother. and whose body was
found by Lineman Logan, went to
Bamfleld last night by the revenue
cutter Perry to secure his brothers
body, and Mr.. Peters, of Seattle, who
with Mr.. Fay has been searching for
Miss Van Wyck's body, also returned
to the scene Of the wreck. They had
arrived ERE but a few hours before
with Mr.. Bunker on the steamer Sal
vor.
Victoria, B. c., Jan. 31.-Superin-
tendent Hussey, of the provincial DO.
lice. last night received q telegram
from Constable Carter at the scene of
the wreck, saying there are now eley-
en- bodies on the beach. The tug wy
adda will bring two bodies, one of
which has been identified, the other
having no effects, and the tug Bahada
has one body, not identified, both tugs
calling at Victoria today, and the rev
enue cutter Grant will carry three
bodies, all Of which have been identi.
fed, to Seattle.
