The Murder of the ConsuIs at SaIoHica.

The Turkish city of SalOnica, which
lies at the head of the gulf of that name,
in old Macedonia, some three hundred
miles west of COnstantinOple, was the
scene of a terrible riot last Saturday, in
which the French and German cOnsuls
were murdered. 1t would appear that
the cries of a Greek girl, who had just
arrived at the railway station, and was
about to be forced to become a convert
to Mohammedanism, were heard by the
American consul, who CHANGED to be
there. He at once interfered, and taking
the girl under his protection, either sent
her to the German consulate, or escorted
her in n carriage to his own.
The French and German consuls,
meantime, having learned of the occur
renee, and being informed that the Amer
ican, who is connected with them by mar
riage, was in danger, fastened to the
mosque. There they were assailed by a
furious mob of Turks, and killed, ac-
cording TO one account, with iron bars
wrenched from the grating, and IN the
| very presence of the governor of the
city. who. it is asserted by the Ottoman
Government, made every effort to save
/ their lives. The version of the Porte,
moreover. is that the whole disturbance
was caused by the United States con-
suPs taking the wouid-be convert by
force from her MOhammedan friends, for
! which purpose he had organized band
| of one hundred and fifty Greeks. The
| girl, they maintain, did not cry out, nor
| object to the ceremony of conversion.
| AT this stage it is impossible to deter
mine which version Is the true one, but
is not improbable that our consul has
| been somewhat to blame, as he Is
| Greek, and of the seventy thousand in
habitants OF SaIonica twenty Thousand
are Greeks. With so strong a minority
to back him he may have thought him
self justified in resisting any attempt o
the Turks TO convert a Christian to thel
religion.
On the day following the riot, Echeri
Pasha, the new governor OF SalonIca
sailed for that port from COnstantlnopi
in a Turkish frigate, and by this tim
the barbor of Salonica is well filled wit
the war vessels of other nationalities
British, Russian, Austrian and Italia
men-of-war. French ironclads, and
German corvette have been ordered I
} sail at once for the disturbed city.
At the approaching conference {
= prince Bismarck with the Austrian an
Russian premiers this outbreak viii b
discussed, and some scheme for unite
c action will probably be adosted. Thu

sand miles). OF these two hundred and
six cables sixty-One have ceased to be OF
any use, and one hundred and fOrty-tlve
are still working. England and France
are the two countries which possess most
submarine cables. England has twenty
nine and France sixteen. France ana
England are themselves bound together
bv seven telegraphic cables.
In 1850 and 1851 but two submarine
cables were laid down. This magnificent
enterprise was then in its infancy. IN
1852 and 1853 eight cables were i'm
merged, in 1854, seven, IN 1888 nine, IN
1856 and in 1857 one each year, IN 1905
five. in 1889 thirteen, in 1860 twelve,
in 1861 one, in 1862 two, in 1863 one, IN
1864 six, in 1865 three, in 1866 ten, IN
1867 seven, in 1865 two, in 1869 seven
teen. in 1870 twenty seven, in l8Il
| twenty-six, in 1873 fourteen, and IN 1914
thirteen.
Among the longest Of these submarine
cables Is that which runs from Ireland to
| the American coast of Newfoundland
which measures one thousand nine hun
/ dred and twenty miles; the cable from
/ Ireland TO the coast of st. Vincent at
/ Pernamouco measures about one thou.
/ sand nine hundred and fifty miles and
/ that from Brest to St. Pierre about two
/ thousand five hundred and seventy miles
/ France, therefore, has laid beneath the
sea the longest cable known.
The greatest depth of immersion o
cables Is as follows: The cable betweeI
Malta and Alexandria lies at a depth o
! thirteen thousand eight hundred feet
that between Ireland and NewfOundlan,
3. seventeen thousand seven hundred feet
that between PertkarnO, in England
and Lisbon, eighteen thousand feet tina
between Brest and St. Pierre elevcl
thousand three hundred and sevent
feet. Before 1851, the era when the frs
transatlantic cable was laid, no cable {
greater length than three hundre
miles was in existcnce.-L EtectTicite.
