London dispatches affirm that the
Greek Crown Prince. Constantine took re.
markedly good care of himself in all the
recent engagements with the Turks AS
he was the commander of the Greek
forces in Thessaly he probably thought
his life was too valuable for him to take
any chances of losing It, The example
set by him. however, seems to have had
the most demoralzing effect on the Greek
officers under him

WAS A GRAVE BLUNDER.
Minister Smythe, When Relieved, Was
About to Submit Il Treaty.


Washington special to the Richmond
Dispatch: Hon. Henry NJ. Smythe, our
minister to Hayti and charge d'alraires
to san Domingo, was about to give the De-
partment of State the features of a pro-
tocol which he had substantially agreed
upon with the Dominican COVE rnment
when by the unfortunate bunder of an
assistant secretary of state, Crdler by
name, his resignation was accepted Mr..
Smythe had returned from his post,
which he was forced to leave on account
of yellow fever, on sick leave, granted by
the department. When he called recently
to pay his respects, Mr.. Cridler, with
considerable temper. asked him why he
had not remained in san Domingo to
press the OmanZa bridge claim. Mr..
Smythe replied that he had pressed it,
but it was matter that would take
months, instead of weeks to adjust.
The lay following the Crider episode
Mr.. Smythe called to see Secretary Sher-
man, who received him very cordially.
He informed the Secretary that he was
the bearer of Il protocol from President
HeureauX: of San Domingo, whereby the
United States would obtain possession of
SANTANA Bay for n coaling and naval sta
sion for the United States without the
cost of Il dollar This had been Gen.
Grants great dream. He had end. avored
to acquire possession of the entire coun.
try by purchase,as he regarded the bay as
most important acquisition to this
country, in case of a foreign war Secre-
tary Sherman seemed to he delighted Mt
such successful stroke of diplomacy,
and requested Mr.. Smythe to make him
full report on the subject as soon as his
health would permit
IT,
so, and the next day left for Ashevlle. \.
c., TO recuperatc his health Imagine his
surprise when he found in the mail n few
days afterwards letter from the State
Department.. accepting his resignation.
OF course Mr.. Smythe now declines To
give the department. the Dominion pro
tocol.

Senator Morgan is still !. making
speeches in opposition to the arbitration
treaty with Great Britain; but man by
the too frequent use OF his tongue can do
harm to almost any cause, and this seems
to be the great weakness of the Senator
from Alabama. He is man of extended
information but unfortunately his
loquacity is far in excess of his knowl-
edge, which is n bad thing for any man
in any case.

APPRECIATES LEE.
Mr.. Mckinley Has No Idea at Presen. of
Removing Him.

The Washington Post says: Three SEN
ators sat ut table in the Senate restau-
rant Saturday and talked over the proba
bility of the President appointing Hon.

General to Cuba as sort of salve for his
wounded feelings in not getting the COW

Aldrich would accept that place" said
one.of the Senators, "but do know what
the President told me the other Hay when
l was asking him for the place for II
friend of mine.
Gen. Lee is pretty good man to
have down there just now, said the Pres
ident. He has shown his good American
mettle, and don't see any occasion nj
present for making II change. don't

DISCOVERY OF IRON

One historical authority states that the
earliest discovery of iron within the
present limits of the country was in the
mountain range of Western North Caro-
lima, and first effort to manufacture it
into understandable form was made in the
State of Virginia in 1919. The foundry
was destroyed by the Indians in 1929.

Mrs. Marietta NJ Rucker, of Dover,
New Hampshire, wants to be appointed
minister (9) to the United States of Co
lumbia, South America. She is the first
woman to hive aspirations in that direc-

porters it is hardly probable that the
President will make such radical de-
parture in this respect.

The war fever is subsiding in Greece,
but it still RACES in New York. 1t is
always the way. The fellows farthest
from danger are the last to see it, Those
Greeks and young Americans who are
leaving this country for the scene of oper-
ations had better stay at home. They
will have their labor for their pains. The
Greeks in Thessaly are in mortal dread of
the Turks, and peace will probably be
made before the contingent from this
country gets to Athens

The Recent Circular to Internal
Revenue Collectors Modified.

WASHINGTON, Aug. "A modifi-
cation of the recent circular of instruc-
ton to Collectors of Internal Revenue
has been made, and will be sent out to-
day
The instructions declare that all
packages of smoking tobacco fine cut
chewing tobacco or cigarettes contain
ing articles prohibited by section ten
of the new tariff act, or having such
articles attached or connected there
with, or advertising any promise or Of
fer Of gift, reward or prize contrary to
the provision of the new act, are sub
ject to seizure.
The new order directs that all viola
tons of this section Of the act be re-
ported to the Commissioner of Internal
Revenue, but no seizures shall be made
without specific instructions from him.
Some question has arisen of the
power of the department in the prem
ises. The contention is made that Con-
gress has no power to fix by law regu
lations governing the packing of ar
ticles subject to internal revenue unless
in some way the power of convenience
of the Government in the collection is
affected. Also, that this provision is in
restraint of trade, and interferes with
ment has determined the question no
seizures will be made under this pro-
vision of the law

ANGUS-CRAVEN CASE.
Richard ". Day Placed on the Wit
ness Stand.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 2.-Richard
V. Dey, in whose hands the five hun
dred thousand dollar contract was said
to have been placed, was called to the
witness stand when the Angus Craven
case was resumed to-day. He stated
that after the departure of Mrs. Cra-
ven for the East in February, 1880 he
met Stephen Roberts, the agent of that
lady, with the view of coming to some
agreement whereby she might be in
duced to relinquish her claims to part
of the Fair estate. Roberts argued that
as Mrs. Craven had persuaded Senator
Fair to make a will IN favor of the
children instead of tying up the es
tate, and also giving Charles Fair
SJO00O0 to make up for what he did
not receive from his mother, she ought
to receive one million dollars. Wit
ness expressed the opinion that five
hundred thousand dollars was the linn
it. Finally an agreement was drawn
up to the effect that Mrs. Craven was
to receive that amount, when the docu-
ment dated September ri, 1894, had
been admitted to probate.
