men in America.
Dublin, June 49, - A meeting con-
vened to bring further pressure to bear
upon the British government to grant
amnesty to the Irish political prison
ers now in MARLBOROUGH Jail, was held

prise was expressed that jubilee week

Two Bodies Found in the River Mt |
New York FriEhtfully Hacked Up.

Two Bodies Found in the River Mt
New York Frightfully Hacked Up.
New York, June 29.-Stab wounds
were found between the sixth and
seventh and eighth ribs in the region
of the heart on the headless, legless
trunk of man found floating in East
river. Deputy Coroner O'Hanlon, who
performed the autopsy, declared that
the man was murdered. The deputy
coroner also found a stab wound back
of the left collar bone that extended
down into the apex of the left lung.
There was no water or serum in the
lung. In his opinion the man had been
dead about thirty-six hours before the
autopsy was performed. On the left
forearm he found bruise and on the
inner side of the right forearm there
was a confusion showing the shape of
a heel with the imprint OF the hob
nails of heavy boot. In the palm of
the right hand was an incised wound
caused, DR.. O'Hanlon believed, by the
victim Selling hold of the weapon
with which the crime was committed.
Dr.. O'Hanlon, when the autopsy was
completed, said he haC seen many
cases of mutilation, but this one was
the worst. Just as he had finished the
autopsy word came over the telephone
to Bellevue hospital that a coroner
was needed at the high bridge station.
DR.. O'Hanlon went to the telephone
and was told of the finding of the body
of a second man mutilated in much
the same manner and rolled in oilcloth
in the woods near 17Eth street and
Undcrcliffe avenue. DR.. O'Hanlon de-
scribed the oilclotll in which the float
ing body was wrapped and the police
sergeant at the other end of the wire
declared that the body found in the
woods was wrapped in oilcloth of a
similar pattern.

The Providence Journal says: The
fiction that most Bostonians are de-

''came over in the Mayfower" has not
yet been exploded, as recent comments
indicate. AS a matter of fact, the old
Boston families were not of the May.

Suffolk with Winthrop, and settled,
first at Salem, then at Boston, eight
and ten years after the Plymouth col.

Mussul1nans and Insurgents Engage
in Combat.
Canae, Crete, June 2S.-An armed
force of 1900 Mussulmans made a
sortie from Canae, crossed the mill
tary Gordon and surprised the insur-
gents at Kanlikastolli, three hours
distant. A desperate combat ensued, in
which thirteen Mussulmans were
killed and twelve wounded. The Chris
tan inhabitants of the district are pre-
pairing to make reprisals by land and
sea. Later advicer show that many
Christions were killed as we'll as many
Turks in engagements that preceded
the principal fighting. The whole dis
trict is greatly excited. The trouble
arose from the encroachments of Mus
sullnan refugees, who attempted to
pasture their cattle within the limits
OF the neutral zone.

JaDan's OpDosition.

Washington, June 29.-The Japanese
position on the annexation of Hawaii
by the United States has been made
known from a very high source. The
japanese base their opposition to an

ground that it is an interference with
the treaty rights Of Japan and COM
plain especially that the treaty was
negotiated in the face Of the most
friendly protestations from Japan and
at. a time when the japanese authori-
ties had been led to believe that no
such treaty would be undertaken.

Statistics prepared by the New Yori
state excise commissioner show
considerable reduction in the number
the operations of the Raines law. That
law has now been in operation about
thirteen months, and in that time the
number of saloons has been decreased
by 7,437. When the law went intu
force on April 80, 1896, there were 49,
437 licenses in force in the state. On
November 1, 1896, there were 1858 IL
there will be issued about $4,000 Ii
censes during the present year. The
total receipts under the law from May
/ to October 81, 1896, were s11, 03S,3 1922,
and after deducting rebates and ex-
penses of collection the receipts
amounted to $10,556, 1872. Under the
old law the net revenue for twelve
months to all towns and cities in the
state was $2,919,59
H. A. Huston, state chemist of In
diana, in a report says: The estimated
sales of commercial fertilizers in In
diana during 1896 amounted to 42,OO0
tons. This is an apparent decrease OF
1900 tons from the estimated sales in
1895. The decrease is, I believe, only
apparent, for it now seems probable
that the estimate for 1895 was toe
of tags being carried over which were
really used in 1896, although they ap-
pear in the 1895 sales. 1t is probable
that an estimate of $4,000 tons in 1896
and $4,000 tons in 1896 would more
nearly express the real facts. In the
$4,000 tons for which tags were
issued were 10000 tons of bone
and non-acidulated packing house
products; 21,S00 tons of "com.
plete' fertilizer, that is, acidu.
lated goods containing phosphoric acid
nitrogen and potash; $500 tons of am
moniated phosphates, LOO tons of aci(
phosphate and potash, and 4,4OO ton!
of plain acid phosphate. OF the bon,
and non-acidulated packing hous,
products 400 tons had received an ad
dition of potash. Comparing the sale
IL. each group with the sales of tn,
previous year, we find that there ha
been an increase of $500 tons in sale
of "complete" fertilizer, an increas
of 1000 tons in the sales of plain aci,
phosphate, a decrease of 500 tons in tn
sales of ammoniated phosphate, a de
crease of 1,100 tons of acid phosphat
and potash, and a decrease of 4,3o
tons in the sales of bone and acidulate
packing house products.
