VIM. ]. BRYAN
Meets a Mishap While Shaking Hands With People at St. Augustine Piazza Gave Way and Fell Twenty Feet to the
 Ground.

St. Augustine, Fla, April S.-W. J. Bryan arrived here at 4:5O D. m, and was greeted at the station by several hun dred people. At S:30 he addressed fully 5000 persons from the piazza of the San Marco hotel. His theme was good gov ernment and the money question, the free coinage of silver being advocated as strongly as ever.
 At the close of his speech hundreds of people Hooked about him and so great was the strain that one section of the piazza forty feet square fell through, precipitating four hundred people to the ground below, distance of twenty feet. NO one was seriously hurt, but score of ladies and gentlemen received bruises and sprains.
 MT. Bryan was picked up unconscious and taken to Dr. Worley's office where he received medical attention. He is not seriously hurt.
 A reception was planned to take place in the Casino after the speech, but was abandoned

AND STILL THEY BALLOT.
Kentucky's Legislators Continue Their Warfare against the Republican Candidate, Hunter, for the
 Senatorial Toga-Some
 Little Excitement.

Frankfort, Ky, April S.-When the roll was called in the joint legislative session today the silver democrats declined to answer to their names, hoping that with the assistance of bolting republicans they would be able to break a quorum. In this they were unsuccessful, the gold democrats answering with the Hunterites in order to force the balloting. The roll call showed seventy-one present, one more than was necessary to constitute a quorum. Unable to prevent ballot the silver men voted for Blackburn when the ballot was ordered, while the gold democrats voted for the compromise can- didate, Henry l.. Martin. All but the paired members voted. There were no significant changes and the vote stood :: Hunter, 62; Black kburn, A; Martin, 13; Boyle, [; Stone, 1. Necessary to a
 On motion of Representative Howard
 republican, no one was allowed near the clerks desk during the ballot,- not even for fear that something might be done in case Hunter should be elected, that would cause trouble. When President Worthington first announced the vote he gave Boyle nine votes. when he had only received seven. This occasioned a stam- pede and for time it looked as if there might be trouble It was finally found that it was purely a clerical error and a recapitulation of the vote was had.
 No motion was made to adjourn, and

GRE FANS BECOME SAUCY.
And Inform the Admiral of the Austrian Fleet That They Mean Business
 The Porte Issues Circulars.

London, April S.-A dispatch to the Times from Constantinople says that the porte this afternoon communica ted to the ambassadors the contents of three cir culars, dispatched to the Ottoman rep resentatives abroad.
 The first, dated April 5, notifies the powers that the Turkish government is willing to withdraw the Turkish garri- son from Crete immediately if the Greeks previously withdraw, and the powers guarantee to pacify the island. It de- mands also that Greece should evacua.e Crete forthwith. The second is dated April 6, and protests, in anticipation, against the appointment by the powers of a European governor of the island. The third, dated April ', protests against the injustice of disarming the Cretan Moha ammedans, while the Christians are permitted to retain their arms.
 The Athens correspondent of the Times will say tomorrow: ''The opinion of the Greek newspapers is virtually unanimous as to the recent declaration of the pow e1s. It is that the European concert, after a conspicuous failure as to Crete, is gradually tending to a dissolution and will be obliged to content itself with a mere admonition.
 The Times will print tomorrow the fol- lowing dispatch from it's Canea core spondent:
 "The Cretans are now massing around Kissamo They have mounted four guns and intend to attack the fort, which is held by 150 Turks. Yesterday they wrote to the captain of the Austrian warship anchored in the bay, declaring that as the action of the international fleet had hitherto been hostile to them they would repel forcibly any attempt of the war ships to interfere with their designs at Kissamo. Tt is expected, therefore, that the Cretans will direct their guns upon the warships if the latter open fire.
 "The Austrian admirals will proceed to Kissamo tomorrow. It has been decided to move the few Mohammedan families still there and to blow up the two block houses in the vicinity of the fort in order to prevent the Cretans from occupying them"

ONLY ONE BIDDER
Received By the Navy Department for l. " Supplying. Armor for Cruisers.
 A New Competitor.


 Washington, April S.-The navy depart ment received today but one bid in an- swer sto the advertisement calling for proposals for supplying about 5000 tons of armor forth three battleships, Illi- nois, Wisconsin and Alabama, and this one was so irrigular in form as to be far wide of the advertisement. The single bid was from the Illinois Stsel company, of Chicago, and it proposed to supply the 5000 tons of armor desired at $266 per ton Oh condition that it be given a twenty-year contract to supply all of the naval armor. In such case the remainder of the armor beyond the 5000 tons would be supplied at S240 per ton. The armor was to be paid for in gold coin. No awards have been made, and the whole matter probably will be referred to con- grsSs. kH
 The interest felt in the results of to- days bidding was manifested by the number of persons present Lieut. S:one was there for the Carnegie company;

Vice President Davenport and Messrs. Meigs and AfcI1lvane, for Bethlehem; President Harrah and MT. Petrie, for the Midvale Steel works; Charles Cramp, for the Cramp Ship Building works; Will liam P. Walmer, second president of the Illinois Steel company; Gen. Hyde, president of ehe Bath Iron works; ex- Secretary Herbert and a gathering of naval experts from the ordnance engi- neering and construction bureaus
 In view of the fact that congress by aA amendment to the naval appropriation Dill has limited the sum to be paid for armor for the battleships to a maximum sof $30O per ton, as against about $500 now paid, there was no surprise expressed by the persons present in the secretary's off1ce when Secretary Long, taking his place at the head ofthe table, announced that only one bid had been received, which was from the Illinois Steel com pany, or Chicago, a concern which now Tor the first time enters the field of com petition for supplying the government armor.
 Before the bid was read Lieut.. Stone, of the carnegie company, and Vice-Presi- dent Davenport, for-the Bethlehem com pany, presented to Secretary Long writ ten statements of the reasons which had lmpeiled these companies, which have heretofore supplied all the armor used by the government in building the new navy, to refrain from submitting pro- posals in response to the present adver- tisement ---
