All Signs Point to a War Between Turkey
and Greece Because of the Revolt In
Crete.
ATHENS, Feb. 13-The greatest ex-
citement prevails here. The news
papers have issued midnight editions
containing a report that the vail of
Smyrna has chartered steamer for
the purpose of transporting troops to
Crete, and this in face of assurances
given to the powers by the porte that
Turkey would not send reinforcements
to the islands.
The newspapers and the crowds in
the street declare that the action of
the vail is taken with the full cogni-
zance of the porte, which has again
proved that not the slightest confidence
can be placed in its promises. Denun-
Citations of the Turkish government are
heard on every hand.
The streets are filed with Greeks
who demand that the Grecian war ships
shall prevent the landing of further
troops in Crete. 1t is believed that or.
ders to that effect have already been
given to Prince George and there is nc
doubt he will carry out his instruc
tions, in which case war with Turkey
would probably result unless diplo
macy or superior force should be en-
ployed to divert Greece from her deter
mination to protect the Cretan Chris
tians and also, perhaps, bring about
the long sought-for annexation of the
island.
BERLIN, Feb 13.-The Post, of this
city, publishes an article in which i
says that war between Greece ant
Turkey is almost inevitable. The pa
per adds that Turkey is entitled t
allow her troops to cross the ThessaliaI
frontier in view of the action of Greece

PAVED WITH DIAMONDS.
The Streets Of Kimberly Contain Many
Gems In the Rough,
AND ALL LUNG
TROUBLES.

The Streets of Kimberly Contain Many
Cons In the Rough.
The costliest macadam on record Is
without doubt that which once paved
the streets Of Kimberly, South Africa,
and which was SO thickly studded with
diamonds that millions of dollars worth
of gems were taken from it. How this
princely roadbed came to be laid down
Is related in an interesting note in Cos
mos paris, November 14), which we
translate below:
"The South African diamond mines
were discovered 80 years ago quite ac-
cidentally. A peddler who was travel
ing from farm to farm on his business
noticed brilliant stone amid the peb-
bles with which some children were
playing on farm situated near the
Vaal. The idea occurred to him that
perhaps it might have some value. He
sent it in an unsealed letter to De.
Atherstone, of Grahamstown, who was
something of a geologist; he recog-
nized in the stone fine diamond. The
fame of this discovery grew, and soon
the diamond fever led many into the
fields. Mines were discovered, and a
camp was quickly formed, which re-
ceived the name of Kimberly.
"Water was scarce near these mines,
and nevertheless it was almost indis-
pensable for washing the diamond
bearing soil and getting the precious
gems out easily. Many workmen tried
to do without it and to find their dia-
monds in the dry earth, with the re-
suit that great number of the stones
remained in the debris of the diamond
Bearing soil that had been subjected to
search.
"The city of Kimberly, growing rap
idly, soon had a municipal council
which, among other things, undertook
to macadamize its streets. The debris
that was IN the miners way, was found
excellent for this purpose. The city
undertook, to the great satisfaction OF
great numbers of workmen, to rid them
of their rubbish heaps."-Literary Di

New YORK, Feb 16.-The Standard
Oil trust is in process of liquidation.
Holders of its certificates have sur.
rendered or will surrender them and
receive instead stock in the Standard
Oil Co. of New York. This change is
due to the prejudice which has been
aroused in many minds against trusts
and to tho crystalization of that preju,
dice in the legislation of many states.
In becoming the Standard Oil Co. OF
New York it acquires all those privi'
leges which the corporation law Of
this state gives it and loses not one oi
its trust characteristics.

War Between Turkey and Greece Woult

War Between Turkey and Greece Would
Result in a More Active Demand for
American Wheat.
CHICAGO, Feb. 1G.-The Tribune says:
With the threatened outbreak of hos
tilities in the Mediterranean, Russian
shipments of wheat are certain to
stop. This means great deal to the
American grain trade. 1t so happens
that southern Russia is now the only
competitor with America in furnishing
western Europe with its sur~'y Of
wheat. India and Argentina have
stopped shipments altogether, and have
ceased to be factor in the food supply
of western Europe. The field has been
left to southern Russia and America.
With Russia out of the way by lower
ing clouds of war, it seems certain that
American wheat must be in more active
demand than it has been for years.
If the trade takes this view of the
results of the exciting events off Crete,
this week is likely to witness a remark.
able advance in the markets of the
world for wheat and wheat products
Corn will not be so much affected, but
is expected to advance somewhat in
sympathy with wheat. These are be-
lieved by experienced observers. to bc
the effects of the shot which went fly
ing near the Turkish flag. With west
ern Europe depending entirely or
America for wheat, the position of tn,
American farmer will be better than il
has been since the long decline in farm
products begun.

San Francisco, June 2S.-The steam
er Gaelic brought the following ad-
vices from Honolulu, Hawaiian is
lands. June 20: Since the Philadelphia
has been in port weekly battalion
drills have been held. On the 18th the
men from both the Marion and the
flagship were landed. While on march
to the drill grounds IN orderly brought
an ORDER and the battalion returned on
board. This action was taken, it is
understood, on account Of a rumor to
the effect that the Nanaiwai would
land force of men to take charge of
the Hawaiian customs house. The
Japanese failed to act, and it is be-
liefed that Ad nirai Beardslee's
prompt action caused tie captain to
change his mind. The English-speak-
ing people here believe that there was
good foundation for the rumor in spite
OF the denial made at the Japanese le-
CATION.
'Itere are all kills Of rumors float
ing around said Counsellor Akiyama.
"One ridiculous one was that the
Japanese steamers were to land and
take charge of the custom house. An
other is to the effect that the Nanai-
wal is to leave on Wednesday next.
That rumor, as also the other, is with
out any foundation whatever. About
two months hence another man-of- war
would be here and the Nanaiwai is not
likely to leave before then"

New York, June 20. - The Anchor
line steamer City Of Rome arrived
from Glasgow and Moville after a
thrilling experience with fire on board.
Capt. Hugh Young reports that the
steamer sailed on June 10 with Sc sa-
Icon, 80 second cabin and $50 Storage
passengers and a cargo of general
merchandise. On Saturday at 2:3O p.
H., in latitude Alps, longitude 63.29,
the bridge officer detected smoke is
suing from No. 4 hold. Immediately
forward of the ridge. Ierce volumes
of smoke soon began to ascend. The
fire alarm was quickly sounded and
the crew beat to quarters. Steam and
water were turned into the burning
compartment and by p. m. the fire
was under control. Further precau-
tons were then taken to prevent a
possible outbreak and spread Of the
fire to the adjoining compartments.
The cargo Of the burning hold consist
ed chiefly of jute goods and will prob
ably be a total loss. The cause Of the
fire is supposed to have been spon-
taneOus combustion.
