being member of the order got things
a little mixed in the foregoing state

have said Is that the Grand Lodge Of
England declines to hold Masonic rela-

because Of its refusal to recognize

the Grand Lodge Of England could not

ton Of the powers and wants 20 negotiate
with Greece directly. II refused the Tur-
kish demands will be more exact,ng.
The Berlin correspondent Of the Daily

A dispatch to the STANDARD from Con-
tantinople says: An imperial trade has
been made directing military governors
to give preference to natives whenever
possible in making Official appointments.
In Thessaly the ohacial reports are not
favorable. A Turkish reconnoise nee in
force at Domokos has been repulsed and
the attack on Arta, which promised to
be successful. has also resulted in a
check. 1t Is believed that Edhcm Pasha

Ccnstantinople. May 1S-The ambassa-
doris OF the powers held prolonged con-
ference today, at the close OF which they
presented to the Turkish government q
collective memorandum proposing an ar
mistice between Turkey and Greece on the
basis Of the negotiations for peace now
in progress through the powers. The
memorandum, which was presented to
Ahmed Tewfik Pasha. the Turkish min
lister Of foreign affairs, by the dean Of
the diplomatic corps. Baron de Calico, the
minister. enumerates
the conditions which have been accepted
by Greece. and begs the porte to issue
the necessary orders to arrest the pro-
gress Of the Turkish troops.
In the meantime the Turks are ad-
vancing toward Greece. Edhem pasha's
original orders being to march on Ath-
ems. Uneasiness prevails here on the
subject Of peace negotiations. 1t ia fear
ed the reported conditions will render
agreement difhcult and cause further
complications. 1t Is expected that Russia
may propose concessions to the Macedo-
mans. The director of the Dutch bank
at Berlin Is expected here shortly with
proposals to reorganize Turkish finances
conclude a loan and secure railway con-
cessi0ns.

The novelist who signs herself
"Ouida" has written letter In which
she takes our legislators to task for en-
couraging the immigration Of foreign

iterates the old saw that a little learn
Ing Is q dangerous thing" and would
much prefer immigrants who knew
nothing Of the alphabet to those who
had imbibed the limited and mis-
chlevous" education of the public
school system. Ouida Is a novelist
whose faculty lay in giving the last
clarifying touches to the decaying in.
situations Of mediaevallsm. Her ideal
Of life Is a country In which turreted
chateaus or moated schlosses. with a
mOnastic institution here and there. are
the only centers Of enlightenment.
These happy spots should be surround.
ed with well-kept estates, inhabited by
a contented but ignorant peasantry, to
whom the lords. ladies and friars min
lister from time to time. as their high
social or religious duties may allow.
This ideal is to be found In most of
Ouida's novels. 1t Is pretty enough In a
book. but the day has gone by when 1t
Ia possible In real life. except in few
out Of the way parts Of the world that
have not felt the touch Of modern nd.
vancement. Its contented. ignorant
peasantry. Ouida's special delight, are
rapidly giving place to the restless, in
dependent, ambitious and more en-
llghtened men and women Of to-day.
Ouida will be sorry to hear that we
have no ''peasantry" in the United
States. We have farmers-American
farmers and voters. II there are any
who answer to her notion Of peasants,
they have but recently arrived. They
will not continue to be peasants. They
will rapidly become American citizens.

st. Louis Post-Dispatch: -te Meth
idist ministers and other ministers
were on the point Of agreeing rs to the
fallibility Of the st. James transla .ion
when Col. Ingersoll came to the front
and proposed to agree with them.
There are great many orthodox min
listers and laymen who cannot reconcile
1t to their conscience to agree with
Col. IngersOll about anything. But
these should remember that 1t Is i'm
possible for anybody to agree with In
gersOll for the reason that he has never
made definite proposition. In all the
years Of his lecturing about the Bible
h, has never gone farther than to say
he knows nothing more than anybody
else-an admission totally uncalled for
1t Is possible. in such matters, for In
gersOll. to agree with the preachers,
but absolutely impossible for the
preachers to agree with Ingersoll. But
IL the preachers agree among them
selves. Ingersoll's occupation will be
gone, and 1t may be to prevent their
agreement that Ingersoll offers to agree
with them.

hoofs tangled up with the spokes Of the
wheel, or some other similar disaster
might have ensued. For a horse did
fall, 1t appears, and was striking it's
hoofs about in an effort to rise, and it
was at this moment that the Goa chman
thought he would move farther away
from the scene. If the horse had been
close to the carriage and il the coach
man had not thought to move away and
ii the Queen had remained passive
while the process was going on, and If
at this awful moment the horse had
fallen and kicked out Its heels, 1t Is i'm
possible to fancy even what calamity
might have happened. This coachman
was not benighted. but he ought to be
knighted or have some other honor
thrust upon him.

PUMPS HAVE BEEN STARTED.

Leadville. Col. May 17.-An agreement
having been reached by the owners OF the
principal mines. the down town district
has resumed pumping. which was stopped
last winter while the strike was on. The
arrangements for pumping will result in
the employment of probably 1000 men
within six months. 1t is thought that by
August l the upper levels in the working
mines will be sufficiently dry to permit
Of the Introduction of men, and from that
time on men will be continually added to
the working force until all the properties
are in full operation.
1t is believed that many repairs will be
necessary on account of the swelling
and crushing OF the tlmbers occas.oned
by the extra weight of water More than
5000 acres are included within the terri
tory, the development of which will be
vigorously pushed with deep shafts.

INDICTMENT FATALLY DEFECTIVE.
Kensler.Freel Murder Case May BE
Retired.

Boise. Idaho. May H. 1t Is more than
likely that the Kensler-Freel murder case
at Mountain Home will have to be re-
tired. The indictment is believed to be
fatally defective in that 1t does not state
the county or state in which the crime
was committed. The defense has moved
for stay of Judgment in each case. bas-
ing the contention on that fact. Alfred
Freel and Mrs. Kensler were indicted
for the murder of John Kensler, a farm
er. October II last. Freel was convicted
of murder in the first degree and was
to have been sentenced to hang in 4 few
days. Mrs. Kensler. wife Of the MUIR
dered man, got a second degree verdict
and preparations have already been made
for her accommodation at the peniten-
tiary, where there is no female inmate.

That the best attachments are not the

discovery Of the planet Neptune, the
dftieth Anniversary Of which event was
recently celebrated in France. Tele.
scopes had long swept the sky without
discovering this SHY outer planet; but
when Astronomers noticed how Uranus
FASTENED in one part Of his orbit and

lions. wrote to the astronomer Of the
Berlin Observatory, requesting him to
point hts telescope to a particular spot
In the sky on an evening indicated, and
said: you will see a planet which
have not seen, and which no human
eye has ever seen. but which neverthe-
less must be on the spot" No one
would venture to call Its discovery that
night an act Of chance.

CUBAN SITUATION EXPLAINED.

L4lsten to nm UnOmcial Report.

President Mckinley and judge Day
Listen to nm UnOmcial Report.
Washington. May N.-President Mckin-
ley devoted two hours yesterday to an
unofficial report on the Cuban situation
by Edwin T. Atkyns of Boston, who has
extensive sugar plantations In Cuba and
who has just returned from the island.
Atkyns is a warm personal friend of Sec
reaary Long. who today accompanied him
to the White house. The president sent
for Judge Day. the assistant secretary Of
state, and the distinguished trio for two
hours listened to Atkyns' exposition Of
the Cuban situation. as indicated by the
military operations and with relation to
the American interests on the island.
During the conference all visitors were
excluded. many senators and representa-
tives being denied admission.
1t Is not known what Atkyns said to
the president, but there Is reason to be-
lieve his representations favored the In
surgents. Atkyns, during the early part
OF the war. was inclined to take a pro-
Spanish side Of the controversy, but 1t
is asserted that he is now convinced the
interests of the island demand the VIC
tory of the insurgents.
The president Is gathering all the in
formation Obtainable on the Cuban Ques-
ton. and In light Of this and the report
OF Calhoun. now in Havana, will decide
on q course Of action.

cises were Senators Gallinger and Allen,
ex-senator Butler Of South Carolina Re-.
Hugh johnson. pastor of the Metropoli-
tan Methodist church. Rev. WILDER Innis
and many others identified with the In

and introduced Senator Gallinger as pre-
siding officer The latter made brief ad-
dress. and read a number of letters ana
kilograms of regret. among them being
those from Senators Frye and Burrows
and Commander Clarkson Of the Grand
Army of the Republic.
Ex-senator Butler Of South Carolina
read a series Of resolutions which had
been prepared. and these were unanimous
ly adopted. They earnestly protested
against the barbarous and inhuman
methods Of Spain in conducting war in
Cuba. declaring that this government
should recognize the insurgents as bellig-
erents and that Cuba had demonstrated
that 1t was her manifest destiny that. like
Mexico. she should be free and independ-
ent without the payment to Spain of any
indemnity
In the course of his remarks Senator AL
len humOrously declared there was no ji
vision in the populist ranks on the ques-
ton of Cuban liberty. In this whole mat
ter he thought there had been too much
sacrifice to the spirit of cOmmercialism,
and 1t was time this government had a
little more humanity and a little more
America nism.
Senator Chandler sent letter Of sym
pathy and hope for the relief and inde-
pendence Of Cuba.
