LONDON, June 27.-Advices from Greece
and Crete are not of a peaceful nature A
dispatch from Athens says: The Turkish
army in Epirus having occupied several
positions overlooking Agrappa thus threat
ening the Greek retreat in the event of a
resumption of hostilites, the Greek gov
eminent has decided to occupy Karpenisi
with g. strong force"
Advices from Canea, Crete received to-
day, says: AN armed force of 200 Mus
sulmans made a sortie from Canea last
night, crossed the military Gordon and sur
prised the insurgents at KanlikastelH, three
hours distant. A desperate combat en-
sued, in which thirteen Mussulmans were
killed and twelve wounded. The Christian
inhabitants of the district are preparing
to make reprisals by land and sea-"
Later advices show that many Christians
were killed, we'll many Turks, in en-
gagements that preceded the principal
lighting at Kanlikastelli. The whole dis
trict is greatly excited. The trouble arose
from the encroachments of Mussulman
refugees who attempted to pasture their
cattle within the limits of the neutral

Navel Craft just Launched Expected

NEW YORK, June 27.-A craft which her
designer confidently believes will skim the
sea at a speed of fifty miles an hour has
inst been launched in this city. The boat Is
the invention of Capt. Carl j. II. F1indt

MAN WITHOUT A COUNTRY.
DR.. j. N. Bishop Gould Not Obtain a
Passport Here Or in Canada.

NEW YORK, June 27-Although a veter-
an of the. civil war, bearing the scars of
wounds received in defense of the Union:
although an owner of real estate in Flori-
da, railroad manager, and at one time
physician to the wife of the President of
the United States, DR.. J. N. Bishop has no
claim to citizenship in the United States
At the same time Canada, his native coun-
try, refused to recognize his right TO a pass
port from that government. The doctor
was one of the throng Of tourists crowding
the deck of the American line steamer Ohio
when she sailed yesterday for cruise of
seventy days to Iceland Norway, Sweden
and Russia. 1t was small wonder that
Lawyer Gilbert r. Halves, who has been
moving heaven and earth to secure DR..
Bishop passport so that he might visit
Russia, referred to him as man hanging
between heaven and earth, without a
country" In case the doctor should be
arrested in Russia, it is difficult to see at
the present moment how he can appeal to
any country for protection. He was born
in the little village of Algonquin, where his
ancestors owned property prior to the rev.
olut1on Their possessions were on both
sides of the st. Lawrence river, and when
independence Of the States was secured
their property was divided. DR.. Bishop
spent most of his boyhood with an uncle in
vermont. He studied medicine. When
the war began he enlisted under Gen. O. O.
Howard and then took the oath of allie
glance. This he believes made him a citi-
zen of the United States but he had not
taken out naturalization papers. He re-
ceiVed a special commission from General
Howard and fought in all of the engage
ments participated in by that general.
After the war he founded the village of
Paola, in Florida and was made postmas-
ter of the place. He now owns half of the
real estate there. Lawyer Halves says, and
also has an interest in several Southern
railroads. DR.. Bishop has not neglected
established q residence a No II West
Thirty-eighth street and practced his spe-
cialty, nervous diseases. He was there con-
suited by Mrs. Mckinley, the Presidents
wife.
When he decided on the present trip. four
weeks ago, he applied to the State Depart
ment for a passport, but Thursday re-
ceived refusal on the ground that he was
not a citizen. He at once consulted Law
yer Halves, and then applied to British
Consul General Sanderson. The latter re-
ferred them to the Canadian government
A dispatch to the State Department at
Ottawa brought an answer Friday night to
the erect that passports could not be
granted to Canadian nonreSidentS; so the
doctor had to sail without q passport. Two
hours after the vessel sailed Consul San
derson relented and granted a passport but
1t was useless proceeding. The doctor had
gone Lawyer Halves said that il was the
most remarkable case in his experience He
said that he would try to forward DR.

Town FLOODED and Train Wrecked.

VIENNA, June 27.-The town of Kolomea,
in Galicia, has been flooded by the rising
of the River Pruth Many houses have
been destroyed and the bridge between
Kolomea and Turka has been swept away.
The collapse took place while a train was
crossing and it is believed that many per-
sons have been drowned. The government
has ordered the soldiery to assist the in
habitantS in the effort to save their prop
erty.
There were five railway carriages. and
they fell in a great heap together. AS yet
there is no definite report to the number
of passengers. a terrible storm of hail,
thunder and lightning was raging at the
time and added to the horror of the scene.
The river has risen twenty-one feet above
it's normal level. Seven officials, including
the postal staff at Mailvan have been
drowned. The distress at Kolomea is ter
rible. Hundreds are homeless, their houses
having been carried away with the rush of

HELEN KELLAR.
The Wonderful Deaf and Dumb Girl
Will Try to Enter College.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, June 27.-Next
Tuesday, when Radcliffe College entrance
examinations begin, Helen Kellar, the deaf
mute will offer herself for nine hours
work All this year she has been an earn
est student at Gillmans Cambridge School,
where she entered last fall accompanied
by her constant companion, Miss Sullivan,
with the intention Of preparing for Rat
cliffe. Though the school had already had
a mute as a pupil, that one had enjoyed
the tremendous advantage of sight. Helen
Kell$f came to the Cambridge school. She
had not been there long before the director
realized that fitting her for college did not
present insuperable difficulties. After care
full thought he saw his way clear to every
thing except the entrance examination in
experimental physics. Prof Graham Bell
assured him that way would be found,
and now, indeed, he thinks that by sub
stituting the alternate textbook physics
and elementary astronomy for the expert
ments, Miss KellarS preparation may be
comprised. For studying astronomy she
has been provided with planitarium, upon
which she can feel the position OF the heaV-
Marvellous are the powers of this young
girl, who will celebrate her. seventeenth
birthday tomorrow With German,
French, Latin and history she is already
familiar and her English compositions are
clearly and forcibly written. Her apprecla-
ton Of everything brought to her attention
is wonderfully keen and she has the most
indomitable enthusiasm for study In the
fall she will begin the study of Greek, the
textbooks for which are. being prepared
for her use. The examinations Of next
week will be read TO her by MIR. Gilman
and she will write the answers upon the
typewriter, in the use Of which she is an
expert. These will be the preliminary ex-
aminations For the final she will probably
wait a number of years, since all her edu-
cation is to be conducted slowly: Her du-
ties do not in the least impair her health
and Miss Kellar to-day is line specimen OF
a well-developed young woman.

ADVOCATES HARMONY.
Mrs. Annie Besant Advises n Reunion
of American TheosOphists.

CHICAGO, June 27.-Mrs. Annie Besant
was cheered when she expressed hope of a
reunion with the faction of theosophists
in this country, led by William @. Judge,
in her address at the annual convention of
the American section of the Theosophical
Society held to-day at the rooms of the
Chicago branches in the Athenaeum build
ing. An additional interest was impaired
to the occasion by the presence of the
Countess Wachmeister and Miss Wilson,
lights Of the society. Twentythree of the
thirty-five branches of the American sec
ton were represented and there was much
satisfaction expressed over the fourishing
condition reported.
The report Of General Secretary Fuller
ton showed there had been nineteen new
branches organized during the fourteen
months at the following places; Pasadena
Spokane. Wash; Butte, Mont; Sheridan,
Wyo; Minneapolis, Mimi. Streator, H.;
Buffalo, N. Y; Chicago. Brooklyn, Cleye-
Philadelphia, Newark and Denver.
There were many manifestations of dis
position to effect an amicabie understand
ing with the other Theosophical Society
and Mrs. Besant expressed the hope that
the present difficulties, which, she said, are
largely OF a personal character, would be
done away with and both societies be
brought together The sentiment was loud
" cheered as was also one of similar
tenor uttered by A. j. Cory, a delegate
from Washington, d. c. Mrs. Besant and
the Countess Wachmeister gave an account
of the condition Of the society in India
and Europe, which they said was very
encouraging.
