PEACE CONDITIONS ONERoUs.
M. Rolli, Premier of Greece, Says So to the
 Chamber of Deputies

Athens, Aug. 30.-In the chamber of deputies to-day M. Ralli, the premier, presented a bill for the retention of a portion of the currant crop, declaring that the government would treat the vote on the question as one of confi- dence. The government, the premier said, could not state how the peace ne- gotiatlons between Greece and Turkey stood, but the country must be aware that the conditions proposed were oner- ous.
 M. Delyannis said that while the enemy would trod on Greek soil there would be dissensions and that it would be an evil augury for the country for his party to support the government. M. Levidis, formerly minister of ma rine, who was assaulted in the lobby of the chamber of deputies on Saturday by M. Grivas chief of staff of the Greek fleet, brough the subject of the attack upon him to the attention of the cham Der and explained the remarks made by him which led to the assault, whereup- on Nj. Grivas apologlzed for striking M Levidis.
 The bill presented by M. Ralli passed it's first reading.

An Important Definition by the Interior
 Department Affecting Pensions.


 Department Affecting Pensions. Washington, Aug. 30.-Assistant Sec- retary of the Interior Webster Davis to-day rendered an important decision in pension claim involving the defini- tion of a valid marriage.

 Where it is shown by the evidence that both parties fully intended and consented to the maintenance of bona fide martial relations at and subse- quent to the time when they were com- petent to sustain such statutes by re- moval of a pre-existing impediment,. and did consent to. the maintenance Of such marital relations by constant and continuous cohabitation, acknowledge ing each other as husband and wife and being universally recognized as such by the community in which they lived, joining in church membership, uniting in deeds and conveyances as husband and wife, deporting themselves general ly in accordance with good morals, a! valid marriage is essentially establish- ed t

BANK BURGLARS GET sss,ooo.
B Bank in an Ontario Town Broken Into
 Last Friday Night.

Napanee, Ont, Aug. 30.-Burglars during Friday night broke into the Do- minion bank here and got away with $32, ,000. No trace of the thieves has yet been discovered.
 It took the bank officers until Sat urday night to get into the safe, the combination of which the burglars changed and thus temporarily hid the extent of the robbery. Only two per- sons, both officers, were known to have the combination of the vault locks Of the amount stolen $22.00O was in cash and $1O,0OO in checks. When the bank was opened on Saturday morning the robbery was not suspected, as the safe had been out of order before. The cashier was unable to open it. There fore it was supposed something was wrong with the combination.
 A local locksmith was called in to open the door. It was believed that once the large outer door opened the trouble would be ended.
 But it was found that the combina- ton of the inner door was also changed. This complicated matters so that it was not until late Saturday evening that the officers were enabled to effect an entrance. The burglars had opened the safe, secured the booty, changed the combination of the safe and carefully locked the doors, leaving no trace of their crime.
 They got good start in their flight before the fact of the robbery had be- come known.
 The bank operations to-day were car ried on by money obtained from other banks in the place. The robbery means a loss of $22000 to the bank. The checks can be stopped. The robbery was the work of experts, who were able to work out the combination of the lock.
 No suspicion attaches to any of the banks employees.

BROTHER AGAINST BROTHER.
A Result That the Uprising in India Has
 Brought About.

Peshawur, Aug, 30.-It transpires that several of the native officers at Fort Lundi- Kotal showed the utmost loyalty and valor when that post was attacked One of them who received a bullet wound in his shoulder continued, de- spite his injury, to fight and encour- age his men until the fort was cap- tured. The Subadar, who conducted the defence of Fort Lundi-Kotal was killed during the fighting. Among the attacking force were two of his sons, while another son fought by his side. The Subadar, who commanded the Null lagoin company when the enemy en- tered the fort, collected his men and gallantly cut his way through the, ranks of the attackers. He lost sev- eral men but reached the road to Jam- rud without the loss of single rifle.
 It appears that only a small section of the Khyber Rifles stationed at Jame- sud were disarmed. They were on guard when the news of the fall of Fort Lundi- Kotal was received, and the off, cers fearing that some of them might desert with their rifles, disarmed them and placed other tribesmen on guard. The other Khyber Rifles are still trust- ed.
 The arrest at Quetta on August "A of three Beluchiastan Surdars is consld- cred most important step, as two or them, Mehrullah and Yarmurhad, were the instigators of recent raids ln that quarter. Their arrest will prevent much trouble in Beluchistan. A ma- jority of the Beluchistan cnleIs nave visited Quetta and all declare thal there is no further reason Tor anAiet! on the part of the government.

WHEAT FEYER sUBsIDING.
Total Transactions in Yesterday's Dealings
 Amounted Only to 4,165 1000 Bushels.

New York, Aug. 3o.-Total transac- tions in wheat to-day were only 4,165,ooO bushels. During the height of the bull boom they ran up to 16,000,000. Thus speculation is fast getting back into it's normal condition, with sentiment not so favorably disposed towards the long side of the account except in g. scalp ing way News on the whole to-day was bullish, but the market did not respond. There was heavy selling of the nearby deliveries in an effort to switch transactions over into Decem- Der.
 As a result the difference between September and December wheat few days ago was something like cents, narrowed down to cents at the close to-day. The latter option left off un- changed from Saturday night against 1%@B declines on other deliveries. The domestic visible supply lost 1,256,00O bushels last week and the English wis. ible decreased 1,185,O bushels.

Hartford, Aug. 30,-When Bumps paced the first heat of the first race at Charter Oak Park to-day in 2:05A, rather closely pressed by Planet every body expected to see great race. The other two heats, however were easier for the winner, and were never in doubt. In the first heat of the 2:24 trot The Monk behaved badly and finished third He won the second after a struggle with Paddy D.. and landed the two succeeding ones handily. Prin- cess Flavia was far. distanced in the first heat of the event for two-year- olds and only two were left to fight 1t out. The first heat was easily Ambys and Prince Otto took the second with as little struggle. The third was a noble fight between the two and was won by Amby on account of bad break by Otto on che home stretch.
 Marion Mills, the famous paeer which goes without driver, gave a very pretty exhibition, going the mile all most without skip in 2:151@.
 The day was fine and the track was in first class condition. The only thing to interfere with fast time was that the horses had to face a rather stiff breeze on the back stretch. There was a fair attendance, about 2,510 people be- ing present. The summarizes:

FOR MAYOR OF CREATES NEW YORK Citizens Union Will Go 1t Alone With Seth Low as Their Candidate.

New York, Aug. 30-The republican conference with the anti-Tammany forces, which was held at Manhattan hotel tonight, was productive of no important result. The republicans were bitterly opposed to being forestalled in the nomination for mayor by the Citi- Zens' union and they emphatically de- clared that in such an event they would prefer to nominate Mayor Strong.
 F. s. Gibbs declared that Strong would be the candidate of the republi- can party rather than Seth Low if the Citizens union made it's nomination on Wednesday. He said that Strong would make good candidate.
 Messrs. Orr and Maxwell. the repre- sentatives of the Brooklyn committee of fifty, were emphatic on going ahead with the nomination of Low on We'd nesday. The addresses of the republi- cans, which were more in the nature of appeals were made to these men. The republicans endeavored to prevail on them to postpone action.
 Henry D. Purroy and General Wager Swayne were in favor of Hon. Seth Low.
 Ernest Harvier, representing the in- dependent democrats, was non-commit- tai and merely held for the repeal of the Raines law
 New York, Aug. 3O.-The executive committee of the Citizens union at a meeting held tonight decided to stand alone with Seth Low and no other as its candidate for mayor of Greater New York.

Quigg of the repub- lican county committee to the invita- tion to the conference of anti i-Tammany organizations.
