Prince Nicholas with his battery has
been stationed on the center line.
Thousands of horses and mules are
arriving from abroad, the gifts of SYM
pathizers, who are also sending large
sums to the national treasury for pa
triotic purposes. For the present. the
Government does not seem to be en-
barrassed for money. The rate of ex-
change is rather lower than usual. and
specie for the payment of coupons just
due has been deposited without re-
course to the usual purchases in the
money market, which usually affect ex-

the cost of modifying. A corps of

in the possession of Greek troops.
A committee of ladies is busy making
uniforms and attending to the wants
of thousands of CretanS refugees.
Steamers are daily embarking troops

Turks that the erection of forts at Pro
versa is a violation of the treaty of
1881, and holding the Porte responsible
if this warning is disregarded.
The Greek fleet in the AMERICAN
Gulf has been ordered to fire on Turk

A Trading Dog.

I was going down little side street
in the French quarter in New Orleans
yesterday morning, when I saw a dog
apparently a cross-bred setter that had
come down in the world-trotting gaily
along the banquette in front of me,
carrying a quail in his mouth. Pres
emily he came to queer little bake
shop letting upon an oldtime court.
Stopping before the shop window, the
dog reared up on his hind legs and tap
ped with his fore paws upon the closed
pane, whereupon the baker came and
raised the window.
Bon jour. monsieur" said the man,
quite cheerily, as if he were speaking
to an old acquaintance. AT the same
time he took a small round loaf of
bread from the shelf and put it down on
the sill.
The dog, wagging his tail the while,
deposited his bird on the window ledge.
picked up the loaf and trotted back the
way he came.
You are wondering at my queer Gus
toner?' asked the baker, seeing my

BUTLER GIVES UP.
He VIII No Longer Oppose the Effort
for Extradition.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 14.-Frank
Butler, alias Ashe, alias Newman, the
accused murderer of Captain Lee Wei
Ter, Arthur Preston and Charles Bur-
CESS, has decided to give up his fight
against the effort of the Australian po-
lice to secure his eXtradition from this
country. He gives as his reason for
this action that he has no hope that
the United States Supreme Court win
reverse District Judge Morrow, and
that he cannot stand the cost of carry
ing the matter to the court OF last re-
sort.
Butler said to-day that he had con-
sidered the matter and had come to the
conclusion that he felt convinced the
Supreme Court would decide against
him and that an appeal would gain
him nothing but a postponement Of the
day upon which he would have to re-
turn to Australia to answer for the
crimes with which he stands charged
In this view of the matter he consd-
cred it best for him not longer to OPP
pose the matter of his extradition.
Ultimately, he said, he would have
to go on trial for his life, and the sooner
the thing was over the better it would
be for him. He win go back and face
his accusers and depend upon the loop
holes of the Australian criminal laws
for his escape from the gallows

TRAGEDY AVERTED.
Her First Experience With Corset
Strings.

1 was pursuing the tortuous course of
a small creek in Rowan County, Ken
lucky. last September, when, nearing
small log cabin squatted at the foot
of a precipitous hill, my ear was as
sailed by a loud. sharp scream. The
cry of agony was succeeded by a low,
clumsy sound, like the falling of a
body, "all in a heap"
Then a loud oath, from a heavy mas
culine voice, fell on my ears.
Instinctively I felt that some one
doubtless a woman-was being muir
dered in the house.
Therefore L whirled myself from my
saddle, threw my bride reins over the
corner of a rickety rail fence, and flew
towards the door of the old hut, my re-
volver in my hand.
All was perfectly silent within. !
thrust my head in at the door and ner-
vously looked through the twilight of
the unwindowed room. Soon, to the
right of the door and at the rear OF the
house. / beheld a strengthening man
kneeling over the PROSTATE form of a
woman his knife elevated
Drop that knife, you murderous
wretch!'' 1 shouted, cor I'll shoot you
deadl"
The fellow dropped the blade of his
knife into the palm of his left hand,
gazed seriously at me a moment, and
then. with a loud laugh, said:
'Pshaw, stranger, wat We mean? My
wife's tainted. She never put one of
them bony bandages around her waist
afore She's drawed the ropes so tight
that her air pipes is shut off. I'm just
goin' ter cut the corsica strings!"-

TREASURY NOMINATIONS.
None Will be Sent to the Senate for
Some Time.

WASHINGTON, March 14-Contrary
to expectations, there will be no nomi-
nations sent to the Senate for impor-
tant places in the Treasury Department
for some time. Secretary Gage, it is
believed, has made up his mind as to
two of the Assistant Secretaryships
but he had announced that no nominal
lions VIII be sent to the Senate for a
week or so. Assistant Secretary Ham
lin informed Mr.. Gage some days ago
that he was ready to send in his resig-
nation at any time. Mr.. Gage re-
quested him to remain for two or three
weeks.
This offer was accepted The two
most prominent candidates for the
office of Assistant Secretary are w. B.
Howell, for several years past, assist
ant to the Secretary, having charge Of
customs matters, and Mr.. Spauldng,
who served as Assistant Secretary dur
ing the Harrison administration. For
the chief clerkship, there are two can
didates, who seem to be in the lead of
the others, Wallace Hills, an old en-
ploye and at present the Assistant
Chief Clerk, and Major Bracket, who
served as chief during the Harrison ad-
ministration.
