MARSH IN SPANISH HONDURAS
The Wrecker of the Keystone Bank
Safe From American Justice.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug 81. Reliable
information has reached this city
that Gideon w. Marsh, the defaulting
and absconding wrecller of the Key
stone Bank, of which he was president,
and for whose arrest Samuel Wanna
maker. brother of the postmaster gen
eral, and who is one of his bondsmen,
has offered a large reward, has found
a maven of refuge at Tazuilapa, in
Spanish Honduras. This is little
Spanish town of 10000 inhabitants,
but little known and very difficult to
reach by the outside world.
1t is toward the western end
of Spanish Honduras and is nearer
the Pacific ocean than the Caribbean
Sea. There is no railroad running to
the place, and it takes six days to
reach it by horses or mules over a rug
ged country. One of Marsh relatives
admit that he has funds e. s. n to
keep himself comfortable in y,le Span
ish town for some time to come. There
is no extradition treaty with that Dor
ton of the universe, and unless Marsh
could be decoyed to the coast, and
this is very unlikely he is safe from
American justice.

How Lena Bennett Proceeds to Got
Her Third Husband.

WILMINGTON, Del, Aug. 31.-The
story OF one of the most romantic mar
riages that has ever occurred in this
city has just leaked out. Mrs. Lena
Bennet OF Hillside, Mich, aged so, and
twice widow, about two
weeks ago inserted an adver-
tlsement in a Western news
paper for sutton y paper containing

YIELDS TO RUSSIA.
Turkey Allows War Ships of Her
Northern Enemy to Pass
the Dardanelles.
Apparently a Bluff on the Part
Oh the Stronger
Power.
Precedent Thus Established Discrim-
mates Against Naval Vessels
of Other Countries.

LONDON, Sept. 1.-Information tele
graphed to the Standard from Constanti-
nople to the effect that the porte has
yielded to Russia's demand respecting
the Dardenelles, would seem to be founded
on the fact that the question at issue re-
ferred to the detention at intervals recent
ly of the Russian volunteer feet of steam
ships bound for VIadivostock, the eastern
terminus of the trans-Siberian railroad.
Russia claims that though these shi ps
were armed they were outside of the cate
CORY of war ships which are barred by the
treaty of 1841 from passing through
the Dardenelles. The porte SAID that even
were this admitted to be the fact, the YES
sells detained were war transports and
they had on board number of troops in
tended for Vladevastock. To this Russia
replied that the men being conveyed to
the eastern terminus of the trans-Siberian
railroad were not soldiers but rese~vists
who were doing duty as railroad laborers.
To these apparently unanswerable
arguments from Turkeys powerful
enemy the porte appears to
have been forced to submit in the most
humble manner though there is no reason
to doubt that Turkey must have first ask
ed other powers if they were willing to
support her and they must have thought
the matter not worth troubling about in
1891 though ten years back such d demand
might have led to war. And 50
it is that the porte submits and
besides paying indemnity to Russia
for the detention of steamers precedent
is established which will permit of all such
vessels in the future being allowed to pass
the Dardenelles in spite of the treaty of
184l.
st. James Gazette this evening holds
that the submission OF the porte 10 Rus
sia's demands establishes precedent
which permits Russian war ships to use
the passage of the uardene!Ies as they
please while war ships of other nations
must not enter those straits This news
therefore, according to the same paper, is
by far the gravest published for SOM Sine
Discredit the Report.
BERLIN, Aug. 3I.-The press here is in

New STAMPS for Russia.

A new kind of stamps will soon be
introduced in the postal telegraph
service Of Russia with view to Sc
curing the inviolability Of the privacy
of letters The new stamp is printed
on very thin paper, and cannot be
used again if it is once put upon a

The fact that Mr.. Flowers majority is twice
as large as Mr.. Meyers is an irrefutable proof
that the Republican party was earnest in sup
Noting its candidate, and that he made good
run. When he was nominated it was openly
charged by our friends the enemy that ne was
to be deliberately slaughtered for purposes OF
political trading The returns show that there
was no trading that he ran 5000 votes ahead
Of the State ticket, and that his nomination was
made and supported in good faith.
Mr. Chaplin has been elected to Congress, but
by majority so largely reduced from Mr..
Boody's of last year that he can hardly be con-
graduated by his friends upon the result. AS
a political vindication of tainted reputation his
election is a sorry travesty. The returns prove
that he could oniy have been elected In dis
