VIII Retain ThessaIy.

London, June H., THE CONSTANT
nople correspondent of the Standard
says: At Tuesdays conference of the
ambassadors for the discussion of the
terms of peace, Tewfik Pasha was pres
ent, armed with categorical instructions
to persist in the retention of Thessaly
given him by the sultan personally.
When the conference ended the sultan
summoned his ministers to a special
council at the Yildiz kiosk, which sat
until two o'clock in the morning of
Wednesday. The decision arrived at
was that the evacuation of Thessaly
was impossible, but that there was no
necessity to precipitate action. Being
in possession, the porte, it was argued,
was able to wait patiently and even in
definitely while discussing point after
point with the powers. 1t was also de-
c;ded to continue actively the prepa-
rationS for war

A terrible panic ensued. Men and
women struggled for exits, trampling
the weak and the children under foot.
Many who were near the doors were cut
off from escape by the crowds. The ex-
act number who lost their lives will
never be known, but the estimates run
over 100.

STORM IN NEW ENGLAND.
Much Damage Along the Connecticut
River.


Boston, June 1.-THE northeast rain
storm which set in Wednesday morning
and which was apparently the culmina-
ton of week of duh weather, appears
to have blown itself out. Nearly every
city and town in Maine, New Hamp-
shire and Vermont reports more or less
damage by the high water, while the
lowlands all through this region are
flooded.
Springfield, Mass, June 11.-Special
dispatches to the Union from the towns
along the Connecticut river indicate
that much damage is being done by
floods. The boom at Turner's Falls,
Mass, broke at 4:30 o'clock in the
morning. There were about $4,000, 900
feet of logs. There is no way of stop
ping this boom or the one that broke
at Bellows Falls, VT, until they reach
Mount Tom, near Northampton. The
dam of the Warner Manufacturing COM
pany at Greenfield broke. It was built
of solid rock and was so feet long and
10 feet high. A portion of the dam of
Eddy & Son also gave way. At Charlie
mont, Mass, a sawmill dam owned by
ii. T. Ford went out Thursday morning

Trouble in India

Bombay, June IA dispatch re-
ceived here from Simla, the residence
of the Indian government officials
during the heated periods of the year,
announces serious trouble on the
northern frontier and the massacre of
a number of British officers and native
soldiers in the government employ.
From the particulars obtainable at
present it seems that two guns be-
longing to a Bombay mounted battery,
escorted by 300 men belonging to the
First regiment of Sikhas and the First
Punjab infantry, were treacherously
attacked in the Tochi valley by large
force of hostile natives. The first re-
port said that COL Bunny, two officers
and Is privates had been killed and
that three officers and 25 men had been
wounded. In addition, a number of
mules and horses are reported killed.
Indications are that the affair is more
than mere conflict with warlike ma
tives, and that the notorious mullah
of Powindah is at the bottom of the
trouble.

TWO REPORTS.
State Department Now Has Ruiz Case
Before 1t.

Washington, June 10.-It is learned
that the department. of state is in pos
session of two distinct reports bearing
upon the Ruiz case. They were brought
to Washington by Mr.. Fishback, the sec
rotary to Mr.. Calhoun, and handed to
Assistant Secretary Day. One of these
reports was made by Consul-General
Lee and has been fully set out in the
newspapers. The other report, really
the original, was joint production,
signed by Consul-General Lee and by
DR.. Congosta, the Spanish consul at
Philadelphia, who, with Gen. Lee, con-
stituted special commission to in
vestigate the conditions surrounding
the death of DIR. Ruiz. In this report
the two commissioners went as far as
they could together, which necessarily
confined them to mere statement of
the facts that are not subject to con-
trovcrsy.
Failing to agree upon statement of
the causes which led to Ruiz death,
the commissioners signed the document
at this point and then by mutual agree
ment made what may be described as
supplemental reports to their own gov
ernments, in which they set out state
ments that they could not agree to in
clude in the original report. The pub
lished report of Gen. Lee was one of
these supplemental reports, and it is
probable that the Spanish government
has one intended to controvert it made
by DR.. Congosta. With all of this litera-
ture on the subject in possession of the
two governments the possibilities of
prolonged negotiations are promising.
The publication of the Lee report in
advance of it's reception at the state
department has given much annoyance
to the officials and probably will be
made the subject of quiet inquiry, in
asmuch as it is believed that the posi-
ton of our government in the negotia-
tions that are sure to follow with Spain
is weakened by thus putting its case in
possession of the other side,

sharl.ey and Maher Discharged.

New York, June 11.-Peter Maher
and Thomas Sharkey, the heavy
weight pugilists who were arrested
Wednesday night during their fight at
the Palace Athletic club, were dis
charged by Magistrate Cornell in the
Harlem police court Thursday. The
magistrate admitted that the conduct
of the men in the seventh round might
have been disorderly, and said he was
glad they had been locked up, but that,
nevertheless, as far as he could see,
there had been no violation of the Hor-
ton law. Peter Maher and ''Tom'
Sharkey fought Wednesday night at
the Palace Athletic club for a $4,000
purse. At the end of the seventh round
the police interfered and the contest re-
suited in most unsatisfactory draw.
There were about 10000 persons
squeezed into the big building at One
Hundred and Seventh street and Lex
ington avenue. The quantity of money
which would have changed hands had
the bout resulted in favor of either
man is well up in six figures.

1t Was True.

Mrs. S. E. Keller, of Minneapolis,

the manner of husbands. Mr.. Kellar
said it was nonsense, but this was the
exceptional burglar scare that proves
the rule. There were burglars in the
house, and if Mrs. Keller had not
aroused her husband to tell him about
it the burglars would not have left the
house in the mad haste of their actual
departure, and doubtless they would
have carried away more than the sill
yer from the dining room. AS it was
they took silverware to the value of
of about S35 or $40. Had the visitors
succeeded in doing work on the second
floor their haul would have been much
larger. Later, part of the stolen arti-
cles were found outside the house.

DUN SEES STEADY GAIN.
Improvement in Trade Is Moderate
But Distinct.

lmprOVement IN Is Moderate
But Distinct.
New York, June 12.-R. G. Dun & Co.,
in their weekly review of trade, say:
1.-THE gain in business continues, not
without fluctuations, and at the best mod
crate, yet distinct. 1t is still in quantities
rather than prices, although in some
branches an advance in prices appears,
but on the whole the number of hands en-
ployed the volume of new orders and the
amount of work done are slowly increas-
ing. Prospect of good crops of wheat
and cotton helps, growing demand from
dealers, whose stocks gradually gaining
consumption depletes, also helps, and in
the money and exchange market large buy
ing of American securities has an influence.
Wheat looks WELL and the best trade
authority now estimates the yield at 515,
900 bushels, with many state and rail-
road returns to support 1T. The price re-
covered rs cents after last weeks fall of
4 cents because visible supplies are di-
minishing.
Neither cotton nor wooden mills can ex-
poet other than waiting business with
change of tariff impending, but the demand
for bleached goods is steady, though mod
crate, for print cloths slightly better at
IA cents, plus l per cent, and for print
goods though not active. Brown goods are
dull, though quotations are unchanged.
Some large wooden mills are preparing to
increase output and have bought heavily.
Production of pig iron has for some
months been in excess of the demand in
the manufacture of finished products. Fail
ure to form the rod trust caused wire mills
to yield 5 cents. The general demand for
plates and sheets was better, and for bars
much larger east and at Chicago, with
some large orders taken at Pittsburgh.
Philadelphia reports decided improvement
in finished iron, with fewer concessions,
and Pittsburgh large structural orders,
while apprehension of labor difficulties has
induced much buying at the west. The

MINNESOTA STATE NEWS
Going Out of Business.

The bicycle insurance companies of
the state have decided to go out of bus
mess. There has seemingly been little
show for this class of insurance COM
panies since the adverse ruling of the
attorney general, but they have con-
tinued until now in the hope that the
insurance commissioner would see his
way clear to deal with them leniently,
or that some way out of the difficulty
could be found. At a conference be-
tween Representatives of the two Min
nesota companies and Insurance Com
missioner Dearth the matter came to a
conclusion. Mr.. Dearth insisted that
the law must be obeyed literally. 1t
required 500, 600 capital stock for this
line of insurance, and while in his own
opinion S25, 900 would be ample for a
company that confined its business to
the state, there was nothing for the
companies to do but increase their
stock to the amount required or close
up their business.
