Two Stories.

A Massachusetts gentleman, just re-
turning from over the Canadian border,
tells us these stories: He was in the
hotel general.acoommodation room,
when the two veterans Of the (hotel) bar,
LAYING schemes for dunk, began to tell
stories to each other for his benefit.
"The.e are awful hard tines" said one.

Developments in the Jewett tragedy
axe the theory that Orvile committed
urder and suicide more certain. Thomas
kson, janitor of the building corroborates
'rles Taintor's statement that he witnessed
snooting. He was IN the room above
the explosion occurred, and rushing
down saw through broken pane in the rear
door Of the office two bodies lying on the
floor. In an instant four pistol shot were
fired, whereupon he ran to the Office and
questioned him, but received no reply. The
coroner is said to have discovered important
evidence regarding the affair, but refuses to
make it public.
The Boston Herald publishes an article

that William Mcguire, the sole survivor of
the brig Roanoke, did not tell true story
His statement to Captain Carson, Of the
schooner that rescued him, we're contradic.

crew mutinied and probably murdered the
captain and his followers, and also the pas.
sengers, and that the vessel became unman
ageable after they got possession. 1t does
not seem consistent that the passcn.,rs

incentive for an uprising of the crew. II is
surmssd that the crew drank freely of lager,
and while drunk went below to get the con.
tents of the safe, and had fight with the
captain and sailors who remained faithful
This is based on the fact that Mcguire says
that one OF the crew, Finn, threatened to
shoot the captain, and the fact that one of
the crew was found dead, with his upper lip
c,t of, when Mcguire was taken off by Capt.

without loss Of prestige, unless the
Turkish government makes such con
cessions as will relieve him from the
suspicion Of what in common phrase
may be called backing down" These
concessions, even though they be limit
ed to the simple process Of taking the
initiative in disarming, and apart from
the guarantees upon which Russia at
one time insisted on obtaining, Turkey
does not seem disposed to make, and if
she we're the temper Of the Moslem pop
ulation has been too strongly reused to
allow them to be made without danger
to the existing government, and per-
haps to the life Of the Sultan. The en-
deavor at this time Of the foreign repre-
sentatives at Constantinople is to re-
move The objections Of the government
to the protocol, and to bring about some
sort Of an understanding with Russia
The only favorable sign at the present
time is that Montenegro-at the in
stance Of Russia, it is said-has given
up her demand for possession Of Mic
sizes. though still holding cut for recti-
fication Of the frontier Of that princi-
pality.
On the other hand, in confronting
the issue Of war with Russia, the
Turkish government has not as yet re-
ceded one step from the position which
it took before the conference met at
ConstantiDople. Then, as now. il de-
clared that the disaffection 10 the prin-
cipalities had its origin in Russian in
trigues and then, as now. it resented
dictation, or what bore the semblance
of H. It would not accept the scheme
Of reform suggested to it by the con
ference, but it was willing to grant, and
did promulgate, a measure of reform
covering wider field, and, if it were
possible to carry it into effect, more
beneficial in its ultimate results The
signal manner ID which Servia was
thrashed into submission certainly in
tensi6ed the war fever It also raised
the fanaticism Of the Moslem population
to 30 high a pitch that it may have in
spired the belief that it was possible to
cope even with Russia single handed,
if the green banner we're un-
furled and holy war proclaimed. AZ
ali events, il has made the existing Sit
uation more difficult to deal with, and |
leaves, according to our latest advices,
the question Of peace or war trembling |

The EASTERN SITUATIoN.-There has
never, perhaps. been time since the
beginning Of The Russo-Turkish trou-
bles when the situation was more criti-
cal than it is just now. The confer
encs Of the representatives Of the great
powers at Constantinople accomplished
nothing, except 10 eliciting from Tur-
KEY the proclamation Of constitution
united ID the condition Of her people,
and pledges Of reform which she may
not Be able to fulfill The protocol re-
Gently signed BY the great powers, and
BY which Russia sought to detach them
from that support Of Turkey to which,
il certain contingencies, they had bound
themselves BY the treaty Of Paris,
really amounts to nothing but the ex-
preston OF desire for peace ard Of a
willingness on the part Of the Western
dienitaries to use their good Offices in
bringing It about. II abounds in :" ifs"
and a.buts, /" and is made too dependent
on contiugencies-such as peace beween
Turkey and Montenegro, and mutual
disarmament as between Russia and
Turkey-to be regarded as Of special
importance. although Russia fs already
attempting to give it an Interpretation
which, read BY the light Of Lord Derby's
addendun, lhe text will not bear We
think 1t may be conceded that the Czar
personally. as well as bis most astute

II does not, however, follow necessarily
that Russia will disarm, or that she will
not after all take the initiative in draw
ing the sword. It does not follow for
the reason that the power Of the Gear
is not so absolute as some suppose. and
Is weakest Of all when it finds itself con-
the hereditary hatred Of the
Muscovite to the Turk. Moreover, bis

morning There was large number Of
occupants-guests and employees-in
the hotel ut the time Of the calamity
and 50 rapidly did the flames spread
that All exit was cut of from many and
several persons lost their lives. The
scenes attendent upon the fire were
indescribabIe. Many persons leaped
from, the second, third and fourth
stories Of the hotel. being crushed to
death Or badly injured BY the fall.
Ten persons are thus far known to have
persisted, but as the ruins are still too
hot to admit Of examination it cannot
be definitely ascertained whether any
more lives have been lost or not.
