Worked Upa Feeling in the War
Party That He Couldn't
Control.

LONDON, Dec. 2O.-Henry Labouchere
is the author of a sensational article in
Truth. the authority for which is a
well known foreign diplomat. The
article says:
Greece was involved in the war with
Turkey owing to the endeavor OF King
George to bluff the car into hurrying
the marriage of Princess Marie. The
czar declined to interfere and King
George, knowing hat Russia was most
DESTROYS that there should be no dis
turbances in the south of Europe,
played with the wal party until it got
beyond his control. The czar then
warned King George that the Turks
would occupy Athens and that his
dynasty would cease to reign. King
George finally entered into an arrange.
,nent with Russia, the latter promising
the Turks should not go beyond Thes.
sally provided no real stand was made
against them, that the Greek forces in
Epirus would not seriously operate
against Janina and that the Greek feet
would remain inactive. All these ar
engagements were carried out, the crown
prince, Prince George, and Colonel
Vasso all having secret orders from the
king.
The Daily Chronicle, which continues
to champion the cause of the Greek
royal family, processes to know that
the story is untrue; but 1t is generally
believed.

Gear Said to Have Formally Taken Pos
session of ! ort Arthur.
LONDON, Dec. 20.-A dispatch to The
Standard from Vienna says it is ru-
mored that the Russians have occupied
Port Arthur.
Port Arthur, which is situated at the
extremity of the Leao-Tong peninsula,
has practically been in the hands of
Russia for some time past. After the
japanese evacuated the port. which
was the scene Of the terrible massacre
of Chinese during the war with Japan,
Russian engineers began supervising
the reconstruction of the docks and
forts, which had been destroyed by the
Japanese previous to leaving the place.
Previous to the wal between China
and Japan, Port Arthur was the larg.
est naval station possessed by the Chi.
nese, and was strongly fortified. There
was a naval dock yard, built by the
French company, a large reitting basin
with a depth Of 70 feet at low water;
spacious wharves and quays, two docks,
one 400 feet long, and facilities for re-.
pairing ships Of all sizes, from ironclads
to torpedo boats. The foundries and
workshops were constructed on
the most improved models, and
contained the best modern ma.
chinery, Japan was very anxious
to hold Port Arthur permanently, but
Russia strongly objected and would
have backed up her objections by force.
Russia's great anxiety to possess Port
Arthur is due to the fact that the har.
Dor is free from ice all the winter,
which is not the case with Vladivostock,
the present headquarters of the Russian
feet in the far East. 1t is proposed to
connect Port Arthur with the Russian
railroad now being built through Man.
churia, which in turn will connect
with the great t~rans-Siberian railroad.

Clever Plan of n New. York Landlord
to Rid His Premiscs Of Serenaders.
The Inhabitants of q row Of fine fiat

desperation plans of poisoning and
shooting were discussed, but the owner
of the flats, who resided In one Of them,
and was law-abiding man, deter
mined to adopt better plan, and have
some sport at the same time. Placing
two trars on either side of the alley
ways adjoining his flats, he attached
wires to the traps, making wire con-
nection with an electric bell in his
cellar. When frislSy feline took the
bait, he came quickly on the scene
and put the quarry into bag. Cop
tives were turned over to the s. p. G.
A. and taken away in patches of from
three to ten every night. When about

been transferred in this way, the strain
on the society proved too severe, and
