THE RUSSO-TURKISH ALLIANCE,

Late advices from Berlin are to the effect that despite the affectation of incredu- lity which pervades the foreign office in regard toan alleged agreement between Russia and Turkey concluding a_ treaty which cements the two empires in an ottensive and defensive alliance, the popu lar belicf grows that the convention 1s an accomplished fact. Vienna advices have also led to admissions that the fact that an entente of some kind has been entered into suitan and ezar is not at all improb able. Asa mater of fact the diplomatic circle at Beriin credits M. Melidotf, Rus- sian ambassador to Turkey, with having achieved a grand coup under the noes of the English and Australian ambassader, though both of the jatter = are known to have been watching the Russian diplomatiats, having had good reason to suspect that Russia was playing ber own game while pretending to act iu eoncert with the other powers. Iu the early part of the week reports were in circulation that Turkish orders had been placed for a large purchase of arms and other mun- itions of war with German firms. These rumors awakened the attention of the Ger man public to the fact that previous nego— tions of the same character had collapsed, owing to the fact that the Porte was un- able to give drafts for the amount which would cover the purchases, and it was generally believed the reports were unfounded. This time, however, the public have been fooled. The contract ors, it is true, made another refusal to de- liver the goods without acash equivalent or adequate security, but they were as- tounded by receiving drafts on account on Constantinople banks to meet these, with an assurance from the agent of the Rus -

by the

sian government in Constantinople that not only would the balance be paid but

additional orders, the impending payment for which would be guaranteed, as the fin- ancial embarrasment of the Turkish gov-

ernment is well known. It is known th.t Rus-ian monetary assistance is partof the compact between the two powers,

FATAL PANIC IN A THEATRE,

from St. into the

According to recent advices Petersburg the official investigation the cause of the fire which destroved

circus theatre at Eskacrinoslav. has not been able to establish the cause of the disaster believel to have resulted in tle

loss of over 70 lives.

The first alarm was given by an actress who appeared terror-stricken on the stage duping a children’s matinee. She screamed with fright aad threw the whole andience into a panic, a3 the theatre immed:ately began to fill with smoke and flame.

A terrible rush was made for the doors of the building, but only two out of the eight exits were open, the others closed on azcount of the cold weather, The scene in and about the theatre during the panic and the epread of the fire was dis tressing, the shriek~ of the endangered people being heard for a long distance and attracting almost the entire population to the scene.

In the mid-t of the confusion the dome of the building collapsed killing numbers who might have otherwise escaped. The victims were mainly clildren, and in addi- tion to these burned to death, suffocated by the smoke or crushed bythe fall of the roof, many were trampled to death during the awful rush for the exit.

The entire building was burned. are still being recovered from. the and there are those who believe that number of people estimated to have their lives (Cover 70) will eventually be shown to be underestimated, Beside those who lost their lives, a very great number of children and others were more or less severely injured by the trampling of the crowded audience toward the doors after the alarm was given.

All the performers who were in their dressing ro the fire broke out succeeded in escaping. The actress who first gave the alarm is severely blamed for losing her presence of mind, and the mana- ger of the theatre has been arrested and is held a prisoner pending the termination of the official investigation.

There are several penalties for not having the exits of theatres ready fur use; bat in winter time in most parts of Ru-sia the rules are, on account of the severe weather prevailing, disregarded in very many cases.

It is believed, however, that the disaster at Exkaterinoslav wil! lead to a general in- vestigation of the theatre exits and that precautions will be taken to prevent a re- currence of such terrible loss of life.

DREAMED OF HER DEATH,

The little town of Centreville, five miles from Amesbury, Mass., is excited over the peculiar circumstances surrounding the death of Miss Emily Marshal).

Tle young lady was 15 years old and attended the village school. Last Monday morning she informed ber mother that she had had a fearful dream during the night. She said she dreamed that it was Wednes- day night and that she was lving on her bed dying. She could plainly see her

friends surrounding her bedside and the village minister praying over her. She

saw her mother weeping and had a path- etic talk with her regarding the future. -A young schoolmate named Mamie Elliaon, whom Miss Marshall had a falling out with at schoo!, was seen by the dreamer, and begged her to forgive her and forget their troubles.

Mies Marshali’s parents laughed at what

they termed their daughter’s foolith vag ary and triedto dissuade the girl from

worrying over thedream. But the girl said she knew the would surely die on Wed- needay night. The dream proved true, for on Wednesiiay morning the young lady was found dead in bed. The physicians have not yet decided the cause of the girl’s death.

KINKOKA SOCIAL AT EMERALD.

It has become proverbial that if you want a concert or social to be successful by all means hold it at Emerald. Hence

of Kinkora wisely selected Emerald ag the best place to present their grand basket sccial of last evening. People came driv ing walking and mavy by trains from Charlottetown, Cape Traverse and Sum- merside, in such numbers that ‘when the time arrived for the rising of the curtain fully tive hundred persons had assembled in the hall anticipating an unusual treat. Among the distinguished persons pres- ent were Revs. Dr. Doyle, J. Al. McDon- ald, John A. McDonald, P. V. O’N. Boyd, A. J. McDougall, D. B. Reid, Mgr. Gills, and Messrs. R. Hunt, J. H. Bell, S. M. Bent and the representative of Tue Exam- wer. Rev. J. J. McDonald presided and following is the programme :

It would be difficult to particulariagy as each number was rendered in a manner above criticism. The instrumental music furnished by St. Dunstan’s boys was simply captivating, whilst the vocal select_ons by them were received with thundering applause. The solos Sy Mr. Kenny were decidedly the best comic pro- ductions of the Emerald stage for some time. He was compelled to respond to repeated encores. Miss Bessie Burke de- cla'med in her usual fascinat ng manner, and ix sure to be in demand at future con certs at Emerald. Mr. Doyle of 8S. D.C,

gavea declamation anil it well deserved tie applause that followed it

Revs. Dr. Doyle, Fatner Boyd and Father McDougall sang at their best and were en- cored time and again. Miss Hopgood made her first appearance on the Emerald stage and immediately won the hearts of the audience Ly her richness of voice, ve earn’ss of enunciation and animated ex- pression. Her svccess in musical circles is indeed assured, Prof.J. Gallant sang well and was heartily encored. Capital were the readings of Messrs. Haslam, Be: t and Reddin. Tie accompanists were Mi 6 Strong, Summerside, and Prof, Gallant and Mr. Donnelly of St. Dunstan’s College, Next came the sale of baskets, It wasa grand spectacle indeed to see one Lundred and fifty baskets lined across the rear of the stage, each rivalling the other in p85 of beauty and attraction. Messrs unt and Horne relieved each other alter nately in auctioneering, and they aid it well, At the close of the basket discus- sion the rey. pastor in a neat and well- worded address returned sincere thanks to all who had in any way assisted in bring- ing this sucial to such a successful ter- mination. The most interesting feature in the proceedings was the unanimity with which the different denominations who assisted the performance aided one another. The sum realized was $200,

Beauty unadorned may do in poetry, but the nicely-fitting gowa is the desire of every true woman. Priestley’s dress fabrics have done much to realize a woman’s ideals by offering, in their texture, appear- ance, fit and wear, a character and distine tion, which no other dress goods, however excellent, have quite attained to. And now Priestley’s have something new. The “Eudora” is all the rage. It is even bet- ter than the Henriettas eo much admired. The “Eudora” has something which the Henrietta lacks—to wit: greater width, greater weight, and a superior dust shed - ding quality, And then it bas an exquisite surface which gives it an almost regal presence.

The Remedia! Bill Under Consideration 0? the Council.

Orrawa, Jan. 30.

In the House yesterday, after recess, Mr. L. H. Davies called th» attention of the Minister of Marine to the unsatisfac- tory condition of the winter service be- twee. P.E. Island and the mainland for the last few days, and asked that directions be given for the taking of necessary steps to overcome the difficulty of ice in the Straits.

Hon. Mr. Costigan intimated that or ders had already beer given.

Mr. McLennan’s bill to make the Gov- erament responsible for the wages of workmen on public works in the event of the contractors failing, was under consid- eration all the evening, and was eventually referred to a special Committee.

The remedial bill was under considera- tion ef the Council vesterday. ‘Lhe mea sure has been printed along with all the Manitoba School Acts since the organiza- tion of the province, so that easy reference can be made to any particular statute. Some progress was made with the bill, and it may be approved on Saturday. It is questionable, however, whether the bill will be introduced into the House until such time as Sir Charles Tupper bas re- turned to Ottawa, the Ontario delegation Lolding that the Cabinet should have the benefit of his ripe experience and ju ig- ment.

It is probable that Clarke Wallace and Dalton McCarthy will join forces to eu deavor to di feat t1e remedial b ll.
