road accident which occurred on the
Atlantic City meadows last summer,
when a Philadelphia and Reading
flyer ran into West Jersey train, and
resulted in the killing of "a people and
the injuring of ahOut 100 more, has

have been settling the claims for dam
ages outside of courts. 1t is estimated
that thus far they have paid out in
damages a sum amounting to nearly
81 900, 900.
One of the latest claims to be settled
is that of Mrs. Samuel Mita She
brought suit for 5000 damages for
the death of her husband and one

given her $50. 900 in settlement.

Trouble Arises Over the Bank Failure
at Newport, Ky.


at Newport, Ky.
CINCINNATI. Jan. 27.-A sensational
feature has arisen in the settlement of
the affairs of the First National bank
of Newport. which seems to involve a
clash between the state court and the
comptroller of the currency.
Some of the depositors have fled
suit asking for the appointment of re-
ceiver, alleging that the directors have
abandoned the management of the
affairs of the bank and that Cashier
Youtsey, who owes the bank $3.50, 900,
is disposing of his property and giving
preference to certain creditors No
officer of the bank appeared TO oppose
the application and Judge Helm granted
it and it is said will appoint John T.
Hodge receiver. By what means the
order of the court will be enforced is
not made apparent. Receiver Wiltshire,
appointed by Comptroller Eckels, is
still in charge

ALTOONA, Pa, Jan. 27.-The reports

the scene a relief train with four physl-
clans At late hour the party was re-
turned to Tyrone and all were able to
walk to their hom es.

action. Tewfik Pasha, Minister of For
egE Affairs, informed the Austrian
EN- bassador last evening that the
Sultan and his. Cabinet were unable
to accepr The frontier lines between
the Turkish and Greek territory proposed
by the powers, and added that the Porte
would re-eXamine the situation and then
convoke a new peace conference. An
extraordinary session of the Cabinet is
now sitting.
LONDON, ENG July Elm the House
Of Lords to-day Salisbury, in reply to a
question by Lod Connemara, said that
the delay IN tb conclusion of peace neco-
tiations between Turkey and Greece was
entirely attribui a bic to the Porte.
He did not think there was any delay so
far as the powers were concerned. as they
+ ad agreed upon every point hitherto
There had been no definite reply on the
part of the Porte upon any point, and the
QUESTION Of when a solution would be ar
rived at WAS matter of prophecy rather
than anything else.
There is disposition in the lobbies of
Parliament to attach the gravest Impor-
lance to Salisbury's statement The con-
sensus of opinion indicates that the Gov
ernments are convinced that threat to
use force against Turkey is inevita bic. A
section of the Liberals favor raising de-
bate on tie matter.

HAVANA, CUBA, July 6.-The news
sent last week that on Sunday, June 81,
Gomez crossed the river Hanabana,
which forms part of the southern bound
ary of Matanzas Province, and entered
that province, was fully confirmed to-
dav.
The Spanish official report says that in
the jurisdiction OF CienfUegos bands OF
Genera GARLIC and other Cuban leaders
are irving to protect Gomez's march
toward the west and save it from extermi-
nation. This is untrue. General Carrillo
with 400 men joined Gomez before he
crossed JUG ro-Moror trocha, more than
eight months ago. He was with Gomez
all through the campaign in Santa Clara
Province and at the estate La Reforma,
and is now going westward with the Cuban
commande!-in-cbief.
All the plans of Wevler in the Orient
have been blighted by this clever move
ment OF Gomez to the west. When Weyler
thought he could safely withdraw forty
battalions from the province of Matanzas,
Havana and Pinar del Rio to rush Garcia
in the east, Gomez, who was believed by
the Spaniards to be with a few followers
in the Santa Clara Province, fell suddenly
on Matanzas with 5000 men. Weyler has
been obliged to abandon his Santiago de
Cuba campaign and march hurriedly back
to the west to stop Come Il western ad-
vance.
What is sadder still for Weyler is the
fact that be eaind his columns comes Gar
cia. who, after moving east.to meet Weyler,
UbeD ba ca " rho SDaDiardz wit hd 70 nj n o.
TO the west again approached the trocha
with artillery to attack the Spanish rear
guard.
The sensation produced in Havana by
all this nSws is beyond aescriptiou, and it
is generally believed that in spite OF all
the support given to him by Canovas the
central Government will have to recall
Weyler.
Correspondents OF FL Heraldo and the
EmparciaI have sent to-day to Key
West, by special boats long dispatches to
Madrid, in which the gravity of the situa-
tion is described. 1t is fully acknowl-
edged that Gomez has outwitted Weyler.
On the west side of the river Hanabana
Gomez met two Spanish columns, utterly
routed them and proceeded on his march.
This is the engagement which has been
reported by the Spaniards as lost by Ca
ri lilo and Banderas. The chief of Gomez. /.
cavalry, Colonel Cangua, made two
charges after the infantry under Carrillo
had fired for more than two hours upon
the Spanish columns. The Spaniards re-
tired. Wpyler has now ordered all his
forces in Havana TO oppose the advance Of
Gomez oD the capital.

United States Will Protect the
Lives of Seals at All
Hazards.
AFTER THE JUBILEE TROUBLE
MAY COME.
Mckinley Hopes the Queen VIII
Exert Herself to Enforce the
Paris Agreement.

WASHINGTON, d. c., July The
corresponds between the United States
and Great Britain concerning the Bering
Sea fisheries will probably be submitted
TO Congress tomorrow. The Govern
ment's action will depend, however, on
the answer sent by John W. Foster, the
special envoy of the United States, TO
the cablegram sent to-day by Secretary
Sherman asking him if he had anything
to add to the correspondence on hand.
A negative answer is expected. In that
event the entire correspondence will be
laid before Congress Immediately.
The principal feature of the communi-
cations IS note from Secretary Sherman
to Embassador Hay. dated May 10, in
which some strong language is used with
reference TO the tenn porizng policy OF
Great Britain. 1t is very broadly init
mated in this note that the British
Government has not attempted to carry
out the provisions Of the Paris award in
good faith.
The latest note bears date of July 2 and
was sent bv Sherman to Tower, the
Charga d'Affaires of Great Britain in
Washington. 1t is couched in straight
forward language and indicates the pur-
pose of the United States to protect seal
life at all hazards. The burden of the
last communication is that Great
Britain has failed to send a sufficient
number OF her vessels to Bering
Sea to enforce the patrol, and Sherman
expresses the earnest hope of the Presi-
dent that Great Britain will exert herself
in that regard. The lack OF good faith
unnecessary delays in answerin e the prop
ositions of the United States and general
dtsincltnaton TO a bide by the directions
Of the Paris tribunal are the burden of
the correspondence.

FAURE'S RUSSIAN EXCURSION.
Sensational Socialist Opposition to Ap-
prcprlatng 500. 900 Tor the Coming
vs.. 10 Ihe Gar

PARIS, FRANCE, July 6.-The Chamber
of De puties to-day voted 100000 to meet
the expenses of the coming visit of Presi-
dent Faure 10 Russia.
The Socialists bitterly opposed the ap-
propriation. Victor de Jeante declared
that the republic was not proclaimed to
enable France to pay homage to tyranny.
The Gar had not invited Faure to spread
republicanism IN Russia. The money
would be better u>ed if devoted to reliev-
ing outcasts than wasted in Russian ex-
cursion. His further remarks were
drowned by angry interruptions.
Brisson. President of the Chamber,
justified the expenditure in a speech
which was thundercu5ly applauded.
Renou moved an amendment that the
grant be devoted to the relief of the unem.
ployed. Jaures declared that everybody
in France is secretly opposed TO the visit
of the President 10 the Gar. Faberot
sneered at the proposal to vote money for
such purpose, say ine it was the outcome
of the Russian slay 81 visit to France.
An uproar followed, but finally the
amendment OF Renou was overwhelm-
ingly defea ed and the credit as originally
proposed was adopted. The Senate after
ward voted the credit unanimously.
