FOUR MURDERED.
William H. Hamilton, His Wife and
Son and Daughter Killed By Rob-
berS Near Helena, Montana.

Denver, Col, May 1S.-Advices reach
ed here to-day TO the effect that VIM.
II. Hamilton, a contractor; his wife,
Mrs. Catherine Hamilton; his son, Lee
Hamilton, aged 10, and his daughter
Elizabeth Hagus Hamilton, aged 1Sr
who lived in Denver until recently,
were murdered near Helena, Mont,
three weeks ago and the crime sup
pressed in order TO enable the Montana
authorities to trace the murderers. Mr..
and Mrs. Hamilton were found dead in
bed with their throats cut. Miss Ham,
ilton was also dead in bed with her
throat cut and many bruises on her
body. Leo Hamilton had evidently
made desperate fight. His body was
literally covered with wounds. All the
fingers Of his right hand were severad.
showing that he had grasped the razor
or knife. His throat was also cut.
Foot prints near the house showed
that two men were concerned in the
murders. The house had been ram
sacked and it is believed that the MUIR
derers secured about $500.

BROUGHT TO TERMS.
Turkey and Germany Forced to 4
In the Demand of Russi-

COastantinople. May IS ); IS a
sudden and unexpected G = - i the
political situation short y Z noon
to-day. Russia quietly ner hand
and thereby forced Ger and Tur-
key out of the game, to al. intents and
purposes. Last night and early this
morning Turkey, supported by Ger
many, was practically defying Russia,
France, Austria, Great Britain and Italy,
insisting upon the annexation of Thes-
sally in addition TO huge war indem-
nifty and seemingly was determined 10
march upon Athens.
The ministers received official al
vices from Sofia to-day announcing that
orders had been issued for the partial
mobilization of the Bulgarian army pos
sibly at the instigation of Russia. There
was hurried consultation of the min
listers. The war party was for further
defiance. but in the end pacific cOunse!s
seemed TO have prevailed, for at 11:35
d. m, orders were telegraphed to Ed
hem Pasha, the Turkish commander-tn-
chief in Thessaly, to cease hostilities.
The peace negotiations will now be
undertaken in real earnest and the
Greeks will most likely be spared any
further humiliation.
The note which the representatives
of the powers drew up in addition to re-
peating the request for an armistice
and declaring that the powers will not
permit Greece to be crushed, reminds
the Porte of its circular, issued on April
IS, expressly disclaiming any desire for
conquest. This note could not be pre-
Sented to the Sublime Porte as the eX-
preston of all the powers without the
signature of Baron Saurma Won Jeltsch,
the German ambassador, whose IN
structions do not permit him TO sign
without specific authorization from the
government at Berlin, and Germany, II
was known. continued to oppose any
action tending to press Turkey 10 cease
hostilities. and generally disproved
of any measure direct from an anti
Porte standpoint.
The situation was regarded as most
grave in view of the attitude Of Ger
many and the absence of any sign that
Turkey would modify her concessions.
In official Turkish circles the proposed
annexation of ThesSaly is not regarded
as being the conquest Of part of Greece.
The Turks argue that this province
was ceded TO Greece for definite pur-
poses, and that as the Greeks have
abused the rights conferred upon them
Turkey resumes possession OF the ter
ritory belonging to her.

London, May 1S.-The Princess Of

THE UNITED BRETHREN.
Theatres, Card Playing, Dancing and Other
Amusements Tabooed.

Toledo, Iowa, May 1S.-At the United
Brethren Conference to-day devotional
exercises were led by c. c. Bell, of
Oregon. There were nine women dele
gats elected, but only six are present.
Last evening there were a number Of
college meetings held for consultation
and acquaintance. They were well at
tended and aroused considerable en-
thusiasm. A gavel made in Germany
from wood secured in Africa, repre-
senting the union of mission interests,
was presented by Bishop Castle. A
resolution was adopted providing for
committee to arrange for a centennial
celebration in 1900. The fourth Sab
bath in November was adopted as tenn
perance day. The committee on moral
reform reported advising all members
to abstain from theatregoing, balls, card
playing and other similar amusements.

WARNING TO TURKEY.
Russia and Austria VIII Oppose the Extra
VACANT Demands OF the Porte.

Vienna. May 1S.-The semi-official
Fremdenblatt makes a statement to-
day which is regarded as outlining the
views Of Austria and Russia on the
Eastern situation, as developed by the
extravagant demands Of Turkey, sup
ported apparently by Germany. 1t
says:
BY selecting Pharsala as the place
TO discuss the peace negotiations, the
Turkish government appears TO be de-
sirous of eluding the Intervention OF
the powers. In fact, the Turkish gov
ernment is under a misapprehe1sion as
TO the situation. The integrity OF Tur-
KEY. upon which Europe has laid stress,
and which Austria and Russia IN the
plainest terms have declared to be the
basis of their policy, is far from mean
ing that Turkey can act in the Balkan
peninsula as she pleaseS ana without
regard TO the powers. If Turkey feels
the need of the Intervention of the pow
ers in behalf of her own integrity, she
cannot escape the other line of inter-
vention. which aims at preventing her
from deriving an eXtravagant advant-
age from her victories.
The Turkish conditions of peace are
immeasurably exaggerated Europe can
not assent to the recession Of TEessaly,
nor can it be brought about by a con-
tinuance Of the war, which the victories
of Turkey have rendered purposeless.
Further. the excessive amount Of indem-
ni,v cannot but arouse the opposition Of
the powers, as it is far beyond the cap
ability of Greece to pay. Again, by the
abolition of the capitulations a prece-
dent would be created which the pow
ers could not escape. Turkey would 90
better to seek advantage from her VIC
tories in an enlarged capacity of action
in internal reorganization and in ending
the disintegrating misgovernment.
In short. the Intervention of Europe
in behalf of the integrity of Turkey
means neither the reversal of every
thing in the Balkans nor the continu-
ance Of the old evil conditions which
prevailed in Turkey"

ANOTHER DAY OF LONG TALK
The Senate Still Considering the Nor
gan Resolution.
Senators Mason, Of Illinois; Well
ington, Of Maryland; Hoar, Of
Massachusetts; Gallinger, of New
Hampshire and Hawley, Of Con-
necticut Speak on the Subject.
The Galleries Crowded.

WASHINGTON. May 1S.-Cuba again &C.
cupied the foreground in the Senate to-
day. 1t drew large crowds to the galleries,
and brought two notable speeches. the one
by Mr. Mason, of Illinois, in favor of the
Morgan resolution, and the other by Mr..
Hoar. of Massachusetts, in opposition.
The Illinois Senator pictured in fervid
terms the distress in Cuba, dwelling par
ticularly on the starving condition of 500
United States citizens, as reported by
the President, and called upon the Senate
to throw off it's lethargy and pass the
Morgan resolution.
Mr.. Mason had several sharp tits with
Mr.. Wellington, of Maryland, the latter
protesting that he was being misrepre-
sented. 1t led to considerable commotion
in the galleries, during which Mr.. Yelling
ton declared that he could not be choked
off by the rudeness Of the galleries.
Mr.. Hoar spoke in his usual calm and
dignifed style, and took occasion to deride
buncombs appeals to constituents and
braggadocio as to our national strength.
Mr.. Hoar's criticisms, although imper-
sonal, were clearly aimed at Mr. Mason
Senators Gallinger, of New Hampshire
and Hawley. of Connecticut, also spoke
the former for the resolution, and the lat
ter urging that the United States should
not rush into war while our coast de-
fences are manifestly inadequate.

THEPRELlMINARY SKIRMISH.
Between the Green Bottle Manufacturers
and Workers Begun

PITTSBURG. Pa, May 1S.-The confer
ence of the wage committees of the green
bottle manufacturers and workers, on
the scale for the next fire.. began at the
Monongahela House to-day. This is only
preliminary skirmish. as both sides call
it. for nothing definite will be decided
upon. Suggestions of revisions in the
present scale were submitted and dis
cussed.
The workers want an advance, but are
not making eXtravagant claims. The sea-
son has been a prosperous one, so far as
work is concerned but the manufacturers
contend that business has not been good,
as prices are low.
No hitch in a settlement seems likely
at present. The workers will present new
propositions made by the manufacturers
AT the annual convention of their asso-
citation, to be held in Atlantic City on
July 6.
