A STORM
The Situation in the Balkans
Very Grave.
Emperor William Tries His
Hand as a Peacemaker.
But the Terms are Not Salts.
factory to Russia

Copyright, 1890. by n. Y. Associated Press.
BERLIN, July 5.-There are growing
signs of an impending storm in the Bal.
kans. The situation is so grave that the
holiday vacations Of the leading officials
Of the foreign office have been stopped.
A momentous change appears to have
occurred in Germany's policy in the Bal
kans. Instead of pursuing the semi neu-
tral diplomacy of Prince Bismarck, the
emperor directed Herr Radowitz to take
the initiative IN advising the porte how to
meet the contending claims of Bulgaria
aud Russia. As instructed through
Chancellor Caprivi, Radowitz has prom
is.d the porte an early solution of the
bulgarian trouble in harmony with the
Berlin treaty, and also that an endeavor
will be made to meet the Russian war
indemnity.
The emperor's scheme of settlement,
according to the accepted report 10 diplo-
matte circles, involves the displacing Of
Prince Ferdinand and the substitution of
Prince Karl of Sweden as the ruler of
Bulgaria in his stead, and also the ar
ranRemest of the Russian indemnity by
caritalizing the amount through the inter
national council of administration, which
now controls Turkish loans. The scheme
seems to have received an impetus
from Emperor Williams conference with
Prince Oscar at Christiana. Though the
financial proposals have not formally been
communicated to Russia, it is already
reported that De Giers, Russian prime
minister, has received an intimation OF
their nature with the expression that
they were not satisfactory to Russia, he
stating that Russia did not want to be
concerned IN rearrapging the Turkish
debt and preferred to hold the porte di-
rCcily to its engagements. His response
means that Russia will not let go her
grin on Turkeys neck given by the war
debt. A general explosion in the Balk-
ans may occur before the powers have
time to consider Emperor Williams pro
possls.
Greece and Servia have added to the
general embroglio by each presenting
notes to the porte to the effect that any
concession 10 Bull aria would require SINH.
lar concessions to the Greek and Seryian
nationalities. The S~ervian note also de.
clares that the absence of law aud order
in Macedonia exposes Servians to con.
unuuus outraged and demands instant
remedy.
The rising in Bulgaria Is likely. at any
moment, to give the signal for a general
canflagratlon. Col Nicolaref, Mai.
Paniiza's brother-in- law, who is anon
the most popular officers in the Bulgarian
army, is IN Macedonia watching a chanc,
to start the revolt.

A Death sentence COMMITTED.

RALEIGH, N. G. July Gov. Fowie
to-day committed the death sentence Of
Avery M. Butler, the l4-year-old white
boy whose assassination of his father at
high noon, in the town of Clinton. last
April, attracted SO much attention.
Butler shot his father from ambush with a
gun loaded with a heavy steel slug. He
was convicted of murder and sentenced to
be hanged July IL. The greatest posi-
BILE pressure was brought to bear to induce
the governor to commute. The following
endorsement on the papers was made by
the governor: II Don the recommendation
OF the judge, solicitor aud jury, of many
good citizens, and in view of the youth OF
the prisoner. and the character of the de-
ceased, his cr~ueltreatment OF the prisoner.
and the suspicion OF undue influence
being used to induce the prisoner to
commit the deed. his punishment is com
muted to life imprisonment at hard
labor" 1t is believed by many people
that members OF the family induced the
boy to slay his father.

DECATUR, Ill. July 5.-As a direct
result of a bitter whisky war at the town
OF Blue Mound in Macon county, a vii
lagc that wen dry in April, a criminal
prosecution has been commenced before
Justice Curtis, in Decatur. The town is
all torn up in consequence, as tie parties
under arrest are prominent citizens and
officials. The prohibition village author
tiles were sure that Thomas Doran. the
keeper of a restaurant, was selling liquor,
They had him arrested, and, after a long
drawn out trial he was convicted and fined
by Squire p. L. Vancleve. 1t appears
that Vancleye, before the trial began,
refused a change OF venue and gave the
venire for a Jury to William Logan, whom
the defendant alleges was in full sym
gathy with the prohibition element.
Doran now charges Squire Yancleve with
wilful malfeasance in office. and has
caused his arrest Robert Ward. who is
charged with advising Vancleve to pursue
the course he did in refusing the change
Of venue, in the face Of the affidavit made
by Doran, is also under arrest for aiding
and abstting Vaneleve. Both Vancleye
and Ward have given bonds for their ap.
pearance for trial on July s. Nearly
half the population of Blue Mound has
been summoned as witnesses in the case,
Attorney David Hutchinson and j. j.

JoNEsBoRo, Ga, July 5.-This morn
ing about 5 o'closk, at Lovejoy, E small
station FIVE miles below here, a negro was
found dead by the side of the railroad
with a pistol shot in his left hip. No
bruises could be found on him anywhere
else. He is not known here and no clew
can be obtained as to his identity except
from a bundle of papers found in his
pocket, which gives his name as l.. B
Miller of Kansas. He also had a deed
from John and Amanda Howard, of
Fort Scott, Kan, and a summons from
the court to appear at Fort Scott on July
l6. His wife is suing for a divorce. No
money was found on his person. He had
a silver watch in his pocket. He has
been keeping a diary since June 20.
That day he was in Griffin. On July |
and 2 he was at Sunnyslde. He was en-
route to Atlanta when killed. From all
Indications he was a negro of bad charac-
ter. The people OF Loveioy are of the
opinion that another negro named Starr,
who lives there, knows something about
the affair.

PALESTINE. Tex, July 5.-On Sunday
evening last the dead body of a negro
named Pat Henry was discovered by
negroes in an old well near the CASTOR
plantation, about five miles from Neches-
vile. Justice Mcdonald was notified
Monday, and. assisted by County Attor-
ney White Ewing, held an inquest at
Nechesville yesterday evening. An old
rope was found tied around the dead
mans waist, and the back of the skull
was crushed. 1t appears that about three
months ago the murdered negro showed
up in the neighborhood of the old well,
where he sojourned for several days,
during which time he relieved the negroes
th%ereabout OF their cash, pistols, razors.
etc playing cards. He was last seen go
ing to the woods wIth'one John Wilson,
a negro. When Wilson came back from
the woods he stated that Henry had left
the country. and exhibited Henry's
watch, money, etc, which he claimed to
have won at cards. Wilson left the
country suddenly about ten days ago, and
there is at present no trace of him.

WOOL, CORN AND PORK,
The National Wool Growers
Issue an Address.
They Demand the Passage of
the Mckinley Bill.
French Senate Puts a Duty on
Corn and Cornmeal.


Dol fOWtIs Issue dn AuuTess.
ST. LOUIS, July 5-The officers of the
Wool Growers National Association have
issued another address to the wool grow
ers of the United States setting forth the
dangers of the proposed senate amend
ments to the Mckinley bill so far as wool
is concerned. Senator Hale's amend
ment. if adopted. the report says, will
admit wool free of duty from all the ma
tons of this hemisphere. Cleveland's
free wool Recommendation was no worse.
South American woods would supplant
domestic woods and your industry would
die. The Republican platform would be
violated. the principles of protection sur
rendered, (and the production OF wool
necessary for clothing in the United
States be transferred to foreign nations.
The address further protests vigor-
ously against the proposed senate
amendments to strike out the clause
prohibiting the sorting of woods, to
strike out the words including charges"
thus raising the dividing line, etc, and
continues: we have yielded all that
can be safely yielded in justice to our in
dustry TO secure general protective legisla-
ton. Any OF the amendments referred
to are dangerous. The Hale amendment
would work absolute ruin. Either of the
amendments will pe%rpetuate fraudulent
practice in importations of carpet wool,
etc. We call for your immediate action
as individuals and as an association. We
give notice to those representing you
in the balls of legislation that you de-
mand of the Republican party to redeem
its pledges and fulfill its promises by
speedily passing the Mckinley bill"

PARIS. july 5.-The senate has shown
its hand plainly in regard to American
questions, After a long debate it voted a
duty of three francs on corr and six
francs on corn meal. 1t was distinctly
avowed hat the duty on corn was to be
considered only a continuation OF the pol
icy toward American pork. The com.
mittee de cartel declared the importation
of American pork was only another mode
of importing American corn, and French
farmers could not maintain themselves
against it. The prohibition of pork was
right and ought to be maintained. and
the duty on corn should also be made
prohibitive. Millaud called attention to
the fact that American pork is prohibited
on the ground of alleged unbealthfulness.
He declared this merely a pretext.
An article published in the Temps.
thought to reflect the views of the gov
eminent, suggests that there might be
circumstance under which it might be
desirable to withdraw the prohibition
against pork.

INDIANAPOLIS. July 5.-The spectacle
of a 5-year old boy being tried as an IN
cendiary was witnessed in the mayors
court today. For two or three weeks the
police have been puzzled by incendiary
fires in the southern part of the city.
Yesterday Antioch church was mystic
riously fired, and a little girl in the vicin.
ity said that she saw Johnny Hamp-
don running away from the structure Just
as the blaze burst out. Investigation sat
is6ed the police hat the lad was the
troublesome firebuR, and he was arrested
and brought to the mayors court today
on a warrant charging him with the
crime. Just before the trial he confessed
to setting the church on fire, and said that
he had also fired the Excelsior works and
Tricks livery stable. both of which were
burned a short time ago. and several sta.
bles in the neighborhood. The only rea.
son that he gave for thus destroying the
property was that he wanted to see the
fire department horses un." The mayor
held him over to the criminal court.

snake this morning. While doing the
morning work after her husband had gone,

HnwaIi,s Cabinet Resigns.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 5-Advices
from Hawaii by the steamer Mauposa
To-Day, state that a member Of the opposi-
ton proposed a vote of lack of confidence
in the ministry June IL in he legisla-
ture. This grew out OF the refusal of the
foreign minister (Austin) to lay before
the house certain documents regarding
the proposed treaty with the United
States. There was a spirited debate on
the matter and the vote resulted in a tie
PA to "a. The cabinet promptly re-
signed and the king has appointed a new
one as follows: John Adams Cummins,
minister o fforeiga affairs; Godfrey Brown,
finance; Charles Spencer, interior; Ar
thur Poorson, attorney general.
The differences in the old cabinet had
been a matter of comment for some time.
During the session of the legislature OF
June 6 Minister Ashford answered the
charges made against him of connivance
with the Insurrection OF last April. he
asserted that the instruction was only
the continuance of a scheme of the min
listers to depose King Kalakaua and place
on the throne bis sister, Princess Lilinon-
alanix. Notwithstanding the frequent
M of impending trouble there was not
sufficient ammunition available for even
ordinary use and if it had been possible
to obtain 5000 pounds from the United
States Steamer Adams the Instruction
would have been successful. He claimed
that when it was voted to put through
the proposed treaty with the United
States the king was not TO know all the
facts. The clause relating to the landing
of foreign troops was annexed TO the
draft of the treaty. and when the draft
was LETT with the king the annexed clause,
by an oversight. was left with it. The
king rejected it.
He (Ashiord) charged the other mem
bers of the cabinet with conspiracy and
Minister Thdrston entered a general
denial of the statements. Next day
Representative Wilcox, leader of the
insurrectIon, made a statement about it.
He claimed that a society was organized
with the motto, Hawaii for Hawaiians."
Their object was by peaceful methods to
secure to natives the right to represent
the government in official positions. The
party wanted the king to abdicate, as
discomfort prevailed among the people
owing to the opium scandal and other
occurrences. Wilcox coutended that
prior to this the ministry had been con-
spring against the king and not in favor
of a republic.

ASTORIA, L. l., July 5.-The coastlng
steamer Eleanora, while bound eastward
through Hell Gate this evening, collided
with the Walter Sands, one of two
harges lashed together, upon which were
between 600 and 1000 men. women
and children, in tow of the tugboat Idle
wild. 1t is almost a miracle that a terri
Bile disaster and great loss OF life did not
follow. Fortunately, however, no one
was killed, though several were injured.
Eight of those whose injuries were most
serious were aiken to the hospital. Capt.
G. w. Norton, of the barge Walter
Sands, says that while passing through
the bay the Eleanora was seen steaming
to the east. The tug signalled her by
whistling twice to keep on the port side,
and the steamer apparently obeyed the
signal until about opposite the barges.
Her bow then suddenly turned, and in a
moment crashed against the side of the
barge amidships and almost threw the
latter on its beam ends, though it was
dashed to the other barge. In a second
the rear halt of the guard rail and the
bulwarks of the upper deck were cut
clean away. Along the rail on bench
seats running around the upper deck,
were seated men women and children up
on whom broken supports and splinters
of timbers fell. About twenty persons
In all were injured by these flying pieces.
Had the steame struck the barge more
squarely there is no telling what the re-
suit would have bean. AT the time OF
the collision the larger excursionists we're
dancing and the moment the crash was
heard a scene OF most intense excitement
began. Men ran hither and thither
servers, while women screamed and
tainted and children joined in with acho-
rus of cries. The officers of the barge
soon succeeded, however, in restoring
order.
