ONLY FRIENDS.


chambers JcIraaLi
Summers FRESHNESS fell aroun 4
Nature dreamed its swee test Dire.
Every baluIy evening found Us
By the meadow or the stream
With our hearts as free from sadness
As the sunshine heaven sends;
Youths bright garden bl0omed in gIGdn3S>
Where we wandersd-only friends.
Not word of love was spoken,
No hot bushes flushed IN red;
loves first sleep was left unbroken.
BitteTs tears were never shed.
sVe We're young and merry hearted,
Dreaming not OF future ends
Aud without a sigh we parted;
Fate had made ui-olly friends.
But little germ Of sJrr0w
Wakanel III my hearts recess,
When I wandered on VIE IN OrrOw
By our haunt: o: happiness.
And this germ found deeper roofing
A. the weary days were on,
TIL I felt a blossom shooting
In loves garden all alone
No kind fate threw Us together,
We had missed the lucky tide;
Golden gildel summer weather
Mt forever dutl abide.
But for me, though vainly signing
For q love time never sends,
Still is left this thought undying,
We, alas! wero-oniy friends.

MUTUAL UNION STOCK.
A Curious Manipulation Which Is To Be In
vestigated by the New York Exchange

NEW YORK, April 13-There were some very
curious manipulations of Mutual Union telegraph
stock to-day that have already become the sub
ject of investigation by the governors of the
Stock Exchange. When the Mutual Telegraph
Company passed under the control of the West
ern Union, an agreement was made by which
the stock of the Mutual Union should be ex-
changed for that of a new company, known as
the New York Union Nearly all of the stock
has heen so exchanged for that Of the latter
company. 1t appears that some one inside dis
closed the fact that small amount of Mutual
Union stock still remained unchanged and upon
such information shrewd out of town specula-
tor opened numerous accounts with brokerage
houses in this city on small margins, and on
Saturday telegraphed to each house to sell one
hundrd shares of Mutual Union: that the
stock had been forwarded by express
and would be here in time to
make delivery to-day. Unfortunately for the
brokers who sold, the stock did not arrive to-
day. and in their efforts to buy the stock for de.
livery, the price went up from III to 81 There
were only 200 shares sold at the better figure,
and 200 at 35 which were subsequently Cancelled,
when President Simmonds, of the Stock Ex-
change, suspended all dealings in the stock,
pending an investigation. The committee on
the stock list met at 8 o'clock, but after session
of nearly three hours adjourned without coming
to any conclusion meeting of the governing
committee will be held to- morrow. 1t is under
stood that 800 shares were sold on Saturday and
it is charged that fraud was attempted by the
parties who sold them, and who it is believed,
controlled all the outstanding stock.

ATTITUDE OF THE SULTAN.
He Hesitates to Trust the English Withou
Substantial Guarantees.

He Hesitates to Trust the English without
Substantial Guarantees.
CoNsTANTINoPLE, April 13-The Afghan news
has greatly excited all classes. Two days ago
war was looked upon as certain, and the idea
prevailed among natives and foreigners that
Russia might be expected to make dash for the
Bosphorus, and at any moment the British fleet
might appear in the Dardaneles. Nothing much
is talked about but the prospects of an Anglo
Turkish alliance. The Sultan hesitates to adopt
any positively compromising attitude, being un-
willing to fearlessly trust England without some
proof of the reality of British friendship before
incurring the enmity of Russia. The press
agents have frequently received instructions to
spread the idea in foreign journals that Turkey
will preserve neutrality in case of war; Never
theless your correspondent is assured in strong
quarter that Turkey will join England, should
war occur, being compelled to do so by the force
of circumstances. General Komaroff's raid not
having been followed by an English
declaration of war, the present opin-
ion among foreign diplomatists is
that matters may be arranged for the present
with the usual Gladstone timdty; but all think
that the struggle can only be deferred Turkish
feeling generally is in favor of an alliance with
England. The Turkish army any navy are
longing for war; indeed, Turkish officers and
men of either service are burning TO repay Rus
sia for the suffering produced by the last strug
gle. Circassian officers are particularly excited
at the prospect of another campaign. On the
Armenian frontier there is talk about the re-
capture of Batrum, at which place Russia is very
busy. shipmaster just arrived from there re-
ports the continual arrival of military stores and
the construction of new redoubts Speaking
generally, the average Turkish idea is that
without an alliance with England they are lost
Yet so rudely shaken has their faith been in
England on account of the Egyptian business
that they cannot bring themselves to credit the
British government with any good intentions on
their behalf.

to Herat, about eighty miles distant from that
city. 1t is narrow mountain defe, 9G0 feet in
height which il is believed can be held by Lums-
den against the Russians until the English
troops arrive from the southeast via Quetta
In case of war, therefore. the Robat Pass will be
the center of strategic operations for the present
The English already have a considerable force In
the territory between the Lower Indus and the
valley of the Pishin river, of which Quetta, a
strongly fortified post 400 miles southeast of
Herat. is the central point. This latter place is
not in Afghanlstan, but In Kelat, one of the Be
luchistan provinces. andin one direction is within
one hundred miles of railroad, which runs
from Lahore to kurrachee, on the Arabian sea-
1t is said that a considerable distance OF
branch line to Quetta has already been finished,
and that it will now be pushed as fast as possible
not only to Quetta but also to Candahar, about
280 miles southeast of Herat, which the English
would approach through the Bolan Pass and
comparatively good road along the base
of the mountains The troops in Egypt prob
ably will be landed at Kurrachee, a terminus of
the road, whence it is said they can reach Quetta
in eighteen days. After leaving Quetta and
crossing the boundary into Afghanistan, it re-
mains to be seen whether the march of the
troops remains uninterrupted. The Afghans of
that section are more devoted to Ayoub Khan, who
is now an English prisoner than to the present
ameer and their hostility to the English is so
strong that the latter power has already
cautioned Lord Duffern that the English forces
passing through there must be on the lookout.
AS to the number of the forces now in the
field it is difficult to make an accurate statement.
The Afghans are reported to have four corps
one at Herat. the second at Sir-i-pul, about l5O
miles east of Penjdeh the third at Takh-ta-pul,
eighty miles further away; and the fourth at
Kabooi; the whole aggregatng about 80. 600 men.
The English had some time ago 26,000 men on
the Quetta line, and have probably largely in
creased the force since the trouble began, while
India, all told can probably send IN $4,000 men,
without estimating the forces the feudatories
may tender the government. Nearly 10000 of
the best of the English troops are in Egypt and
when needed will be quickly transferred The
the Caspian Sea, and heavy reinforcements have
been moving in that direction for some time,
though to what extent is not known, as the Rus
sian censorship effectually conceals their move
meCts.

A Man With Suggestive Name.

new 1OTk llmeB
Those who remember General Komaroff in ST.
Petersburg, fifteen years ago, as the military
critic of the Petersburgskiya Vedomosti (St
Petersburg News could hardly have foreseen
that the quiet little dark-haired man who
seemed to bave got ''army reorganization"
upon the brain would ever become famous
throughout the whole civilized world His name
of ''Komaroff' (son of mosquito) is ominously
suggestive of very great mischief done by very
small means. 1t is possible that, like Prince
Schakoffskoi at Plavna in 1877, he may have ex-
ceeded his instructions in the hope of winning
renown for himself, and making his success
atone for his rashness But in Russia it is all
ways hazardous to conjecture from mans pub
lie acts what his secret orders may have been,
ard even should the Russian government recall
Komarotf in accordance with the demands of
England its disavowal of his dash upon Penjdeh
will be no proof whatever that that movement
was not made under the direct inspiration of the
St Petersburg War Office.

DETROIT, Mich, April 13-A Free Press
special from Oscoda Mich, says: "a horrible
accident occurred here about o'clock to-day.
While George Fulton, Joe Biddle, Tom Mitchell,
George Gordon, Frank Maynard and John Hard
wick were cleaning the brick in the smoke-stack
of John Grams mill, the bottom tier gave way
and the six men were buried under
600 bricks. At o'clock several hundred
people were gathered around the stack,
and every effort to secure bodies, alive or
dead was being made. The work is slow, but it
is thought some of the men will be saved. 1t is
uncertain who are alive, but voices can be
heard imploring help. Great excitement pre-
walls. No one had been rescued at o'clock, and
it is feared at least three men are dead. Most
of the men have families, who are anxiousy
waiting around the ruins
T.ATER-Seven men are buried under the
bricks, the seventh being unknown by
name. Five were killed outright-Hardwick,
Biddle, Mitchell, Maynard and the un-
known Fulton was severely but not fatally
injurrd, and Gordon, aged seventeen, marvel
ously escaped any serious injury. Nearly all of
those killed wero mangled beyond recognition
The last man was taken from the ruins at 8
o'clock. A gang of men will work all night to
remove the remaining debris in search for others
who may possibly be in the ruins"
