Boston, May 1S.-After corresponding
with Thomas F. Bayard, ex-United
States minister to England, who has in

cided that Wednesday, May 26, should

the manuscript. The ceremony will
take place in the presence of the SEN

WAR VIRTUALLY ENDED.
Turkey, Under Pressure, Agrees to an
Armistice.

Constantinpole, May 1S.-It transpires
that the czar made a direct appeal to
the sultan to order his troops to cease
hostilities and arrange an armistice,
and this, coupled with the fact that
most serious results would have en-
sued if Turkey had persisted in her de-
fiant attitude, brought about the pres
ent state Of affairs.
Tewfik Pasha, the Turkish minister
for foreign affairs, called upon the doy
en- of the diplomatic corps, Baron Cal
ice, this afternoon, to convey to the for
eign ministers the sultan's decision to
arrange an armistice.
1t is now believed that the terms of
peace will be negotiated directly be-
tween Turkey and Greece.

Alaskan gold fever. The past "a hours
has seen come to the front at least two
thousand argonauts who will be on the
way to the Klondyke region just as soon
as arrangements can be made for trans
portation.
This city furnished more Forty min
ers" than any state in the union. 1t
would not be strange at all If this city
should, within the next six months, as
marVelously favorable reports, be more
largely represented in the boats slowly
stemming the currents of the Yukon
than will the entire Pacific coast.
Some notion of how the craze is
spreading may be had from the fact
that within 4S hours an advertisement
calling for those who desired to join an
expedition to Alaska and who had from
$500 to 81, 900 to invest was answered by
more than i 200 applicants. In this par
ticular case there was some nisunder-
standing inaSmuch as the company
publishing the call is, in the main, a
trading company, while the applicants
were eager to go as prospectorS or to
ally themselves with what even might
be grub stakes" concerns. However,
80 men have enlisted in it's service, and
will STRAIT for the Klondyke region with
in three weeks. They will go as en-
ployes of the company essentially, but,
in the event of their striking a paying
claim or becoming interested in one, the
company will aid them by advancing
money sufficient to develop promising
strikes. The interest displayed is evil
dence that the fever has reached the
town, and an indication that one of the
largest colonies which will winter about
the gold-bearing region will be COM
posed of New Workers.

SPECIAL WEATHER

Weather Observer Jennings.

Weather Observer Jennings promises
that the weather tomorrow shall be

likely occur tonight in Topeka, will be
over. He says that "Cinderella' will
have the best kind of weather for the
opening night, and that from present
indications the weather will be fair for
the other two nights.
THE low which has caused this un-
settled weather. said Mr.. Jennings to-
day, ''is directly south of u.s. 1t is
moving eastward and by tomorrow will
be out of the way. That ordinarily
means clear weather, with cooler tenn
perature."

BROADMOOR BURNS.
The Casino is Destroyed and the
Hotel Narrowly Escapes.

Colorado Springs, Col, July 19.-The IA
nous Broadmoor Casino, the 800, 900
pleasure resort of Colorado Springs, was
burned to the ground this morning. The
flames were discovered about O. clock in
the boiler room and in about one hour the
site formerly occupied by one of the hand
soonest buildings devoted exclusively to
mass of ruins.
There was no water available and in ten
minutes after the flames were discovered
all hopes of saving the structure were
given up and efforts were directed to-
wards saving the Hotel Broadmoor, ad-
joining. This was saved through the
timely assistance of United States SOL
diers camped at Broadmoor.
The loss will be $780, 900 to the Broad

FATAL ACCIDENT.
j. B. Bratten Dreadfully In
iured in a Runaway on
West Sixth.

J. B. Bratten, who has been in the
livery business at 523 Western avenue,
had his skull crushed in a runaway at
noon today and will probably die. He
was taken to the Stormont hospital in
an ambulance and an operation to
raise the skull, from the brain was per-
formed at once by DR.. L. Y. Grubbs,
but there is scarcely any hope of recov-
cry.
The accident occurred at Sixth and
Buchanan streets, two blocks from
injured but a short time ago. Mr. Brat
ten was driving a spirited team and at
Sixth and Fillmore streets they became
frightened. They ran as far as Bu-
chanan streets where they collided with
a telegraph pole throwing Mr.. Bratten
to the pavement. He struck on his
head and the skull was crushed.
The injured man was picked up un-
conscious and carried into the store of
D. D. Knox and DR.. Grubbs was called.
William Crawford who is employed in
Knox's grocery says that he was in the
store when he heard the horses rum
ming. Before he had moved there was
frightful crash and running to the
door he saw a team running west on
Sixth street while the buggy was in the
park. Mr.. Bratten was lying face
downward on the pavement about half
way between the curb and the car
tracks. He did not move and Mr.. Craw-
ford supposed he was dead until he
turned him over and found that he was
breathing. He and two other men car
ried him to the store and an effort was
made to revive him but without sue
cess.
DR.. Grubbs arrived while efforts were
being made to resuscitate Mr.. Bratten
and he ordered the crowd which had
gathered to stand back until an ambu-
lance would arrive.
Mr.. Bratten has recently sold his sta

IT'S EFFECT ON COINAGE.
Washington Authorities Do Not Be
lieve Values Will be Unsettled,

Washington, July ia number of
statesmen were asked what would be
the effect of the Alaskan gold discover
les on the silver question. Most of
them were inclined to the belief that
the production of the new gold country
had been greatly exaggerated for the
benefit of the transportation companies
and local supply companies. Senator
Allison when asked about the situation
said: IF the product of gold in Alaska
is really enormous it would of course
tend to approximate the value of gold
and silver but the yield would have to
be unprecedented to prove much effect
for our supply of gold is very large, you
must remember
Another authority said without hesi-
tation that there could be no possible
effect on the monetary situation unless
pendous as almost to take gold out of
the list of precious metals. He ex-
planned the situation by saying" g:"Speak-

SENATE MAY DEFEAT IT.
Though the Prospects are Decidedly
Against Such Result

Washington, July 19.-Some of the op-
ponents of the tariff bill made hasty
canvass of the senate during the exc
cutive session of the senate today and
expressed the opinion that it was posi-
bic to defeat the conference report by
one majority if a senator is appointed
to the Tennessee vacancy.
To secure this, however all the Demo-
Gratis, including McEnery, who voted
for the bill, all those who refused to
vote either way including Stewart of
Nevada and Mantle who voted for the
bill. would be necessary so that the
prospects are against the success OF
such move.
