A Reported Alliance Between the Two Governments. THE REPORT HOT YET CONFIRMED Should It Prove True Great Britain Will Have Another Serious Controversy on Hand Which Will Probably Lead to Open Hostilities. London, Jan. 21. A dispatch to the Pull Mull Gazetto from Constantinople suys that nn offensive and defensive alii unco has been concluded between Kmsln and Turkey. The Pall Mall Gazetto cor respondent adds that the treaty win signed nt Constantinople, aud that the ratifica tions wero exchanged nt St. Petersburg between Aarej Pasha and the czar. The basis of the treaty Is declared to ho on the lines of tho Unklar-Skclcssl agreement of 1833, by which Turkey ngrced, In tho event of Russia going to war, to close tho Dar danelles to warships of all nations. This treaty was soon nbnndonod, owing to the rofusa of tho powers to recognize It. The Pall Mall Gazette correspondent also says that the French ambassador, M. Cambon, conferred with tho sultan on Wednesday, nnd that it Is probnblo France will bo Included In the now nlllnnco. Commenting on tho Constantinople dis patch The Pali Hall Gazetto says: "Wo regard tho nows ns true, and the result of tho treaty Is that tho Dardanelles Is now tho southorn outpost of Russia, and Turkey Is Russia's vassal. Woprcsuinothe British government will protest ngalnst tho treaty for all It Is worth. The infor mation Is plainly of the very gravest Im portance. Tho first Intimntton reached us four days ugo, but wo withheld It until tho arrival of strong confirmation. "This brings Russia into tho Mediter ranean with a vengeance, and may neces sitate tho strengtheiiingof our licet In thoso waters. Politically, tho effect will bo far greater. The treaty means that Turkoy has realized her own lmpotonco ngalnst dlsordors, both from within and without, nnd has decided to throw horself for safety Into tho arms of Russia. Sho is now Rus sia's vassal, nnd Russia Is entitled to dis patch troops to nny part of the sultan's dominions whenever thcro is tho least bieaeh of order and when thero is not. "Wo presume the arrangement will glvo the kooueBt satisfaction to tho Anglo-Armenian section of our people With them lies tho chief blame for the complete alien ntlou of Turkey, though it must bo owned that it has been sedulously fostered by u long term of weak policy at Constantino ple." Special dispatches from nil points on tho oontinent agreo that nothing is known of tho alleged ollenslvo and defensive treaty between Russia nnd Turkoy. The report is generally discredited. Till! NEWS IN WASHINGTON. If True England will Ilavu Little Time for Venezuela. Washington, Jan. 21. Tho dlsputoh giving the details of tho treaty reported to hnvo been perfectod between Russia and Turkey wns circulated on the floor of tho sonato, nnd was read with expressions of goncrnl Interest, especially the members of tho commltteo on foreign relations. Sen ator Davis expressed the sentlmonts of a majority of tho committee wlion ho said: "If truo, this is the most Important di plomatic: ovent which has occurred in tho past fifty years. It menus that Russia can movo her armies across tho Turkish bor der. Such a treaty would result In tho immediate settlement of the Armenian question, unit If France has also ontored Into tho alliance, as appears probable, tho result would bo that tho licet of thoso two countries would virtually control the Mediterranean, and that means moro than any ono can now foresee. It also means that England will have something to do besides bullying Unclo riain." Senators Morgan, Lodgo and Cullom read tho report with avidity, nnd nil re marked upon tho vast Importance of the news If It should prove to bs true. Mr. Lodgo said that a coalition between Rus sia and Turkoy such us that Indicated would mean that Knglaud would hnveher hands full of business ou her own con tinent without interfering in American affairs. The dispatch was read with great sur prise by members of the house commltteo on foreign relations. Mr. Ilitt was In clined to doubt tho nows. He snld, how ever, that If Russia had signed such a treaty sho must have done go with full knowledgo of nil tho consequences thnt must follow. Tho treaty of liorlln, which rescinded tho Uusso-Turklsh treaty of San Stephano, was designed particularly to proveut such ou alliance as tho Pall Mall Gazette outlined and to preserve the bnb unco of power of Europe For Russia to tramplo on that treaty must provoke tho gravost Imaginable conscquonces. Mr. Draper, of Massachusetts, snld that lu his reeeut trip abroad tho prevailing feeling ngalnst Great Britain because of what tho othor powors regardod as Iter laud grubbing policy was everywhere so strongly mnnlfested that no coalition which left her out could bu entirely n sur prise.

Three Horses mocked by a Telephone Wire That dot In Contact With tho Main Street Trolley One of Them Badly Injured and Shot. The storm has abated considerably, but it will take several days to oblltoratu tho trafp it has left. It was tho most sovcre storm of tho winter and has caused considerable loss in many quarters. All tho telephono and telegraph wires, and most of tho electric light wires, are down and tho service of tho respectivo systems aro paralyzed. Tho com mercial servico of tho are electric light sys tem was in bad shape this morning, but it is cxrected it will be ready for service to-night. Tho streot lines, however, will hardly be re paired in time. Considerable troukle was experienced last night In gutting the system In operation, owing to tho carbons havlnc becomo affected by sleet. The ditllculty was overcome, liowover. in time to get tho liehts burning nt tho usual kotir. During the night and for several hours this morning tho gales played havoc with tho roof of the elec tric light station at tho south end of Main street.

Tho most serious damago attendant upon the storm was caused by a wire of tho Pennsylvania Telephone Company Ecttine in contact with tho trolley wire of the Schuyl- mu iractlon Company on South Main street. This morning a team of horses belonging t i . J. r lalicrty got in contact with tho wire and were thrown down violently, but fortu nately lell clear of tho mischief maker nnd soon regained their feet. Tho occupants of the caniago received n shaking up, but proceeded on their way to Mahanoy Piano. hliortly altera team of horses cot cloo to the wire and ono of them received sufficient shock to frighten it, but not as strong as that ino 1' lalicrty horses received. Mailer's team ran away, but at tho corner of Main and Poplar stieets tho wagon turned over on Its side, which caused the horses to stun. Tho driver escaped injury. 1 lie excitement attending this occurrence hardly died out before a horse owned by William Chimelufski, agent for Kettig & Sons, of 1'ottsviIIe, was touched hy the same wire. The horse went donn like a shot aud its right fore leg was broken close to the body. The animal was led to the eastern outskirts of tho town and shot. It was a line looking boast and it is said the owner recently refused $150 for it. -V telephono wire crossed a trollev wire tliis morning and nearly every box in the local service was burned out among them the JlKlSAI.l).
