A GREAT SURPRISE.
By Judge Morrow's Decision Mrs. Hinck- ley Will Probably Lose Property for
 Which She Fought for Ten Years.

Sam Francisco, July Limited States Circuit Judga Morrow today entered a de- cision in the famous. Blythe case, which was somewhat in the nature of sur pitse. He ordered a decision entered in favor of the English Bly, hes, and his findings are directly opposite to those of the state courts. Among other things 1t is decided that neither Florence Blythe Himckley, John w. Blythe nor Henry T. Blythe have any legal claim to ths prop erty, and that their claims are fraudu- lent. The next of kin to the late Thos. H. Blythe are declared to be as follows: Alexander and William Jones, Jam s Maudley, Elizabeth Jacque, Ebert Do- yer, Hannah Montjames Page, James Blythe and Eliza beth B. Page and Geo. Page. Under this ruling i. is considered pro'babfa that Mrs. Florence Blythe Hinckley will lose the property which she has fought for so hard and bitterly during ten years

Elk Secretary Foster Says the United States Does Not Want to Annex
 Cuba-Protecting the Seals.

London, July 7.-John w. Foster, the United States seal l-commissioner, has ar rived here from St. Petersburg and has paid a visit to-United States Ambassa dor Hay Messrs. Foster and Hay will cooperate in pressing the Behring seal ing question upon the British govern ment.
 To a representative of the Associated Press MT. Foster said the details of the arrangement arrived at with Russia could not be revealed at present, but when disclosed they would be entirely satisfactory., MT. Foster had no doubt tha Japan was equally ready to cooper ate with the United States in the pro tection of seals.
 Speaking of Hawaii, MT. Foster said: We learned the sentiments of Russia and France during our visit to St. Peters burg and Paris. They won't object to annexation and regard it as natural and inevitable. I do not believe that Great Britain will object. The European gov ernments may not like it, but they are reconcied to it. The annexation of Ha- wall would not pressage the annexation of Cuba. The cases of the two islands are entirely dissimilar. Hawaii is set tied largely by Americans and the United States has obligations to fulfill there. while Cuba is a colony of a foreign gov ;ernment."

PEACE PRACTICALLY OVER Is the Opinion in Many We'll h.

 " Is the $ ,t of the Sultan, Who Wants to .S2sht- General SmoIsoski VIII z Command the Greeks.

iA,Ondon, July 7.-Grae co-Turkish af-
 eors seem to be e-entsring an interest," ihg stage. Today the Turk sh gove IT, ment sent to it's represent atives abroad a statement containing a skillful defense of Turkish methods. It appears that the sultan has convinced himself that the powers will hot resort to coercion, and has decided to test the alleged conc art of Europe to ths utmz st. On Wednesday ha summoned a council of ministers for an extraordinary sitting to the Yildiz Kiosk with the result that after a heated dis cussion a report was drawn up in favor of resumlng hostilities q peace could not be concauded within week. The minister of war sent telegrams to Edhem Pasha informing him of the decisi h. The Turks are rapidly strengthening their positions in Thessally, massing massing troops at Dhomoke, fortifying Velistino and in other ways intrench.ng themselves mors firmly. The Thessaliln harvest has been already reaped by the Turkish soldiers and large quantities of grain have been stored at Elassona. Ac- cording to a circumstantial report of a conversation between the sultan and an officer of 4his household Abdul Hamid complained that the war had been forced upon him and that when he was victori- Nus Europe refused him either territory or indemnity.
 Therefore, he intended to resist 70 the utmost. He said:
 We have nothing to fear The six powers failed to coerce Vases and his 2,000 adventurers. What can they do against 600,000 victorious troops in Rou- melia? E.dht m was a fool not to have surrounded the Greek army and to have advanced to Athens, but he may be there yet. If no concessions are ma de within a few days I shall give the order to ad- vance. We can dictate our own terms from the Acropolis. Everything is ready for immediate action
 Accrding to this report. the sultan dis cussed the possibility of Russia and Ger many attempting coercion and declared that he was entirely ready to met them both.
 The foregoing may be perhaps only a bluff, and l. is ev n alleged in some quar- ters among others by the Italian admir- al, Canevaro, at Crete, that peace is act ually oven But it is significant that cen. SrnoDenski has long conferences with King George and M. RalH at Athens to- day, and will starr for TheI-mopylae to- morrow to assume command of the Creek army.
 The anxiety of the people and stag nation of trade and industry have be- come very great.
 In Crete the feeling O unrest has been intensified. The Mohamma ders of Cam dia are preparing to attack the wealthy Chris dans.

THREE DEATHS IN NEW YORK.

New York. July "A warm wave which is said to be due to a combination of an area of low pressure to the north and a high pressure area to the south, struck the city today, and at noon the thermom- eter on the street level registered 1o2 de- grees, while the humidity record was 91 degrees. As a result of this intense heat there were three dea ths and eleven pros tra ations. Towards the evening, however, the sky became overcast. and there was fall of 12 degrees between and D. m. This drop, however, was at the weather bureau, where at 5 D. m. 1t registered 8S degrees and 10 p. m. 76, while at the city hall at D. m. it registered S3 degrees.

AUTHOR OF ROCK OF AGEs.'

The recent proposal to celebrate the association of Augustus Montague Top lady with Trinity college. Dublin, has placed the author of Rock of Ages once more on the borders of ths living land. In truth there is some need to have the name of Toplady recalled to us, for al- though everybody knows his famous hymn, the man himself is all bu. for goet;n. Yet Toplady was notable char acter in the theological circles of his time, says the London Sunday Magazine. 1oplady was the son of major in the army, and was born in 1740, al Farm ham, in Surrey. His father was killed at the siege of Carthagena. befors the boy was year old and the future preacher was thus left to the care of his widowed mother Like Charles Wesley, he was a pupil at Westminster school, from which he passed in due time to Trinity college. Dublin, his mother having removed to Ireland. According to Toplady's own &C., count, his conversion was brought about when hs was only 16 by hearing a work ingnJan preacher named Morris in barn at a place called Codymain.
 T"plady, besides being Iaborious stu dent had early employed himself in the diversion of verse-making Indeed, he printed a little volume in Dublin in 1759, when he was only nineteen. Later on, when at Broad Hembury, he issued a collection of no fewer than 419 Psalms and Hymns for Public and Private
 
 which were from his own pen. There are something like 133 hymns attributed to Toplady, but only a very few of these have attained to anything like popular ity. Indeed, if we except Rock of Ages,' Your Harps, Ye Trembling Saints" and perhaps "Object of My First Desire" we shall be safe in saying that Toplady's hymns have quite passed into oblivion, or at least remembered only by the curi- ous in such matters. But. then, look at the reputation which has been founded on that single hymn, Rock of Ages!'' Some six or seven years ago there was a. magazine plebiscite in which about $500 readers voted for the 100 best English hymns, and out of the whole number 3,215 votes were given for Topladys lyric A different result might perhaps be att tained now, for the rise of taste in re- gard to hymns has been Very marked of late. and 1t cannot be denied that from a literary point of view Rock of Ages'' is open to serious criticism. Curiously enough, this favorite hymn was written by Toplady for controversial purpose. and it was the sWesleys against whose doctrines the author desired to protest.

HE RIGHT RING
Is in the Committees Resolution Urging Force if Necessary to Collect
 Just Indemnity.

Washington, July 7-The senate com mittee on foreign relations today through Senator Lodge, reported a resolution au- thorizing the president Ito take such measures as he may deem necessary to obtain indemnity from the Spanish gov ernment for the wrongs and injuries suffered by August Bolton and Gustav Richelieu, two naturalized American cit izens, by reason of their wrongful arrest by Spanish authorities at Santiago de Cuba in the year 1885"
 The resolution further authorizes the president to "empaoy such means or ex- ercise such power as may be necessary"
 The resolution is based upon the dis closures made in correspondence for warded to the senate by the president last April, in which it is made to appear ac- ccrding to the prca mble of the resolution reported today by MT Lodge that all diplomatic efforts of the government of the United States eXerted for q ! amicable adjustment and payment of just indemni- ty have proved entirsay unaval;ng.'

 Minneapolis Minn.. July 1.-The con- test over the San Francisco lodges was not taken up by the Elks' grand lodge this afternoon. It seems that a speech of J. B. Cotton in the morning was not on the side of the majority and in order to allow its effects to wear off it was voted to take up the matter of selecting the next place of meeting of the grand lodge and the place for holding the att tendant reunion. Speeches were limited to ten minutes each. Invitations were ex- tended on behalf of New Orleans, Indian apoHs, Louisville, Omaha and Grand Rapids. It was New Oryeans with her claim for recognition from the far south that won enough votes and to spare. The vote was made unanimous. Louisville got the next highest number of votes, omaha third and Indianapolis fourth.

OPINIONS OF GoRMAN's LETTER.
Maryland Democrats Take Different
Views of It's Effect.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
BALTIMORE, Md, October Ex-senator
Germans letter offering to turn the man
agement of the democratic side of the cam
paiSn over to Mr.. Abel of the Baltimore
Sun is the subject of varying opinions to-
day. Independent democrats ridicule it as
a mere political trick and rather clumsy
one at that, and the vague intimation that
the senator is willing to sacrifice himself
and retire is the subject of considerable
derision. 1t will not change the opinions
OF the anti-Gorman democrats in the least
degree, and is treated by them with con-
tempt.
The regulars, on the other hand, are
delighted with it. They regard it as an
exposure of The Suns perfidy, and, while
many of them privately admit that it is a
campaign maneuver, they believe that the
refusal of Mr.. Abel will only weaken the
influence of the paper On the fight, and
that Mr.. Germans offer will afford the
democratic state committee and campaign
orators effective bit of material.
Chairman Vaniiver and tie leading local
democratic politicians EXPIRE ssed great sat
isfaction at the letter and its reception
In their opinion 1t has strengthened the
senator and deprived the anti-Gorman men
of the only argument they have used to
sustain their position as boilers.
