the engine and 20 cars went into a ditch.

CoNsTANTINoPLE, July 8.-Russia has

that steps be taken to expedite the con-
clusion Of peace between Turkey and
Greece. This action upon the part OF
Russia is regarded here as being one OF

LONDON, July S.-.Turkish affairs APP:
appear to be re-entering an interesting
stage. During the day the porte dis
patched a circular to its representatives
abroad containing full defense of the
Turkish case and declining to consider
any frontier line in Thessaly north Of
the river Peuios, which it regards as
the natural boundary. It appears that
the sultan has convinced himself that
the powers will not resort to coercion
and has decided to test the alleged con-
cert of Europe to the utmost
The minister Of war has sent tele'
grams to Edhem Pasha announcing the
decision. This accords with all the
news received for the last 10 days. The
Turks are rapidly strengthening their
positions in Thessaly, massing troops at
Dhomiki and in other ways intrenching
themselves more firmly.

are now known to have been killed in
the cyclones and cloudbursts through
out the state. The storm was general
and it is impossible to estimate the
damage with any degree of certainty.
The cyclone, which was central near
Glenwood, was one Of the worst that
ever struck the state. The telegraph
lines are down for IS miles each side OF
there and particulars are hard to get.
The list of dead at Glenwood, so far as
known, is as follows: Tolif Lavan,
Samuel Morrow, Mrs. Samuel Morrow,
Winnie Morrow and Cawald MCGOWAN.
Aside from these Alfred Morrow and a
baby l year old were probably fatally
injured. The trainmen say number
of other houses were blown from their
foundations by the storm and undoubt'
eddy more lives are lost. William Nor
ris and wife are reported to have been
killed. Railroad traffic is paralyze
because Of the heavy fall Of rain. Hec-
tor, Mimi, is under water about q foot
and dcmage to the amount Of $4,000
has Leer done there. Crops have been
da aged to an irrepara BILE extent and a
large amount Of live stock was killed.
Reports of washouts, floods and cy-
clones are being received almost hourly.
Every railroad in the state has had
some damage to the tracks and rolling
stock. The storm was SO general it is
hard to approximate the loss, but, con.
sidering crops and other damage, it will
probably exceed 81, 100000. ,'''

STRIKERS HAY WIN
CONTEST OF COAL MINERS "a
VORABLE TO THE DiGGERS.
Score a Decided Advantage by Getting Out
Most of the Men in the Pittsburg
District--Ra' lroads Confis-
eating Coal.

PITTsBURG, July 8.-Forty- eight hours
after the inauguration Of the great coal
strike comparison of statements from
both sides engaged in the contest show
favorable results for the diggers. Dis
counting the miners officials announce
ments by the operators opinions there
seems no question that the workmen
have scored decided advantage in this
district, and it is believed that as the
Pittsburg district goes, so goes the coun-
try. Conservative estimates place the
number Of miners now striking in this
district at from $1,000 to 10000 men,
an increase of about 5000 for the day.
This leaves but from 5000 to 5000 men
still working.
The Key to the Situation.
The key to the entire situation, from
present appearances, lies in the success
or defeat of the strikers in securing the
cooperation Of the men now working
for the New York and Cleveland Gas
Coal company. Without these men the
strike can hardly succeed, because they
will be able in a measure to supply the
demand long enough to tide over the
present embarrassment. Patrick Dolan,
president of the Pittsburg district min
ers, is confident that before the present
week closes he will have succeeded in
getting all Of these men to join the ranks
of the strikers, and when this result is
effected the battle will be practically
won.
Operators Are Confident.
The operators are just as confident of
success as the miners are and have
issued q statement claiming q large
accession Of men in different parts Of
the district and a heavier shipping list
than usual. Notwithstanding the ad-
vantages claimed for the operators, q
concensus of opinion appears to be in
favor of the miners, inasmuch as the
operators can only hope for temporary
relief with their present facilities, and
the miners officials seem to be in a fair
way to effectually cripple even these by
constantly adding to their number from
the ranks of those remaining at work.

NAMED A FULL TICKET
State Convention OF Iowa Gold
Standard Democrats Held
at Des Moines.
CljRgett of Mason City for
Governor and Babb for SUI
preme Judge.
Platform of the Triple Alliance
Denounced as "UnWorhy
of Support"

DIES MONIES, July 8.-The gold stand
ard Democrats of Iowa have nominated
the following ticket: ~
Governor, John Cliggett, Mason City.
Lieutenant governor, S. B. Mallory,
Charlton.
Judge supreme court, w. I. Babb, Mt.
Pleasant.
Railroad commissioner, Peter A. Dey,
Iowa City.
Superintendent of public instruction,
j. B. Knoepfer, Lansing.
The gold standard Democrats sur
prised both their friends and enemies by
bringing 341 delegates to the city for
their state convention. The meeting
was one Of harmony along the lines OF
gold standard for finances and tariff for
revenue, together with denunciation Of
liquor laws enacted by the Republican
party, an issue which the silver Demo-
Gratis in their recent convention omitted.
Grover Cleveland's name was cheered
every time it was mentioned. The ex-
president favored the gathering with q
letter Of COL, ,ratulations and encourage
ment.
Full State Ticket Named.
A full state ticket was nominated,
headed by Judge John Ciggett Of
Mason City. w. I. Babb, who two
years ago was the candidate of the
Democratic party for governor, was
named for judge of the supreme court,
adding to the ticket the prestige of his
campaign two years ago. The nomina-
tion Of candidates was made by accla.
f1ation, there being no contest for the
offices. The platform adopted heartily
indorses the one adopted by the Ma
tional Democrats at indianapolis last
year, which states at length the funda-
mental principles of government, and
says:
1.-The doctrines of paternalism, class
legislation and debased coinage, to
which each of the three contracting par
ties making up the free silver populistlc
triple alliance in this state have recently
pledged themselves in their several plat
forms, are as abhorrent to every true
Democrat when advocated by Populists
under the name of Democracy as when
taught by Republicans. Democracy is
a necessary foe of each and we repudi-
ate them as unworthy Of the support OF
every true Democrat.
