The Ocala evening star. [volume] (Ocala, Fla.) 1895-1943, 1897-06-25

Every day we are receiving
compliments on the excellent To-
cal news service of the Evening
Star. People are beginning to
think that Ocala is the metropo-
lis of the state when it can furn-
ish so many first class sensations
and big news items. A constant
reader of the Star said yesterday
that in each and every issue he
always found something new,
fresh and interesting of local
news and he often wondered how
we stirred up SO much more good
news than the other papers.
Nothing he sale made him feel so
much like staying in Ocala as
reading the Star. 1t always has
a hopeful tone about it that was
refreshing.

No man in the south is dearer
to the hearts of the people than
General John B. Gordon. By
the old gray haired and battle
SCARED veterans of both the blue
and grey, he is almost idolized.
At the annual reunion of the
Confederate Veterans in Nash
vile, Tennessee this week he
made an effort to retire from the
position of Commander-in- Chief
but the old veterans would al
most as soon give up their or
ganization as their beloved COM
mander. Eight thousand voices
shouted in chorus for his re-elec-
ton. Not a vote was recorded
against him. On his second at
tempt to tender his resignation,
the wild shouts of protests
drowned his voice and he was
literally compelled to accept. His
annual address was q master
piece of eloquence and we only re-
gret that lack of space prevents
it's publication. It should be read
and re-read by every American
citizen.

THE elLsonlTE BEDS.
The House Provides That Corporations
Shall Not Get Them.


Washington, April 26.-The house
today completed the consideration of
the senate amendemnts to the Indian
appropriation bill. and sent the bill to
conference. The main contention cen-
tered about the senate proposition to
open the Uncompahgre Indian reserva-
tion under the mineral land laws.
Finally an amendment was recommend
ed to the effect that no corporation
should be allowed to obtain possession
of the gilsonite deposits. but that the
government would lease the lands in
limited areas, and for limited terms of
years. The senate amendment strik-
ing from the house bill the provision
for the ratification of the oil and gas
leases made by the council of the Sem
eca Indians last December after sharp
debate was disagreed to.
Bland attempted early in the ses-
sion to secure action on Il resolution re-
lating to the Union Pacific mortgages,
which he tried to offer last week, but
the speaker ruled that the resolution
was not privileged.
a resolution was adopted by which
committee of twenty-four was appoint
ed to attend the dedication of the
Grant tomb in New York.

LEM. Alleged Murderers.

Washington, April 26. = United
States Consul Borgehor, at Erzeroum,
Turkey, has reported to the state de-
partment that the Turkish court that
has been trying by default the Kurds
and Armenians charged with the muir
der of young LEM, the American BIZ
cyclist, while on his tour around the
world awheel, has acquitted the ac-
cused. The magistrate found that
there was not sufficient evidence to
warrant the conviction of the accused
and dismissed the charges, matter of
small moment after all, considering
the fact that none of the accused had
been held guilty by the authorities.

Murray, Idaho, April 26.-In the
little town of De Borgia, just over the
Montana line, a most peculiar suit has
commenced. Last November John w.
Connel was injured by falling tree, so
that his leg had to be cut off. He was
then the holder of a paid-up accident
policy, which expired at noon the day
the accident occurred. 1t was precisely
1880 A. NJ, mountain time, when he
was hurt. The policy was issued in
Iowa, and the company issuing it takes
the stand that its life must be meas
ured by the time at the point where it
was issued, and that, measured by the
Iowa time, it had already expired. The
suit is for 81, 500.

VIII Hit Us Hard.

Ottawa, April 26.-The new tariff
announced by the government will hit
the United States pretty hard. In that
regard it is popular here, but doubly
so on account of the preference it
makes in favor of British goods. These
preferential terms for Great Britain
and other countries disposed to receive
Canadian products at favorable rate-,
the finance minister explained in par
lament, would be in the form of re-
ductions from the general list at one
eighth for the first year, and after that
period they would be one-quarter of
the rate in the general tariff. These
reductions would apply to all schedules
except those imposing duties intended
for revenue on such articles as wines
tobacco, cigars and cigarettes.

Bride had quite long talk with the
navigation bureau of the navy depart
ment, the other day. urging that orders
be issued to the battleship Oregon to go
to Portland, so that the presentation of

tiles are that the presentation will be

Being Prepared for Burial.

Gated fifteen miles from here, on the
edge of the timber. were horritied last
Sunday by the apparent returning to
life of Mrs. Fred Wendt, who was pro-
nounced dead on Friday morning from
a severe case of hemorrhage of the
bowels.
The body had been prepared for bur
ial, and was lying in the coffin, when

weak condition from loss of blood, and
managed to show signs of life for eight
hours, when she was again pronounced

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.
Downing, Hopkins s. company's Review
of Trade.

The past week has been very active;
one in the wheat market, prices adj
vancing materially and substantially.
Liquidation by the long interest has
ceased and the speculative short sellers
have been liberal buyers to cover pre-
vious sales. The principal causes for;
this reversal have been the renewed ex-l
port demand and the unprecedented
large sales of -four, mostly for home
consumption. In addition, crop pros
poets in American are much less favor
able. The winter wheat crop now:
promises no important increase com,
pared with that of last year. The ex-,
cessiye moisture has generally retarded
the seeding of spring wheat, particular
ly in the Northwest, where severei
floods in the Red river and Jim river
valleys promise to seriously delay
spring seeding, and is certain to pre-
vent any large increase in acreage sown.
as compared with last year.
Hot winds in California have caused
extensive damage and advanced prices
in San Francisco markets equal to 12c
per bushel
The total crop yield now promises not
to be sufficiently larger than that of
last year to meet the increasing demand
for American breadstuffs by importing
countries. In this connection it should
be remembered that since the war with
China, Japan has subsidized her mer-
chant marine with the war indemnity.
The consequent reduction in ocean
freight rates has led to large sales of
wheat and -four to Japan and China,
amounting to %, 600, 900 bushels during
the present crop year. The opening
up of this new market for our wheat is
certain to have a stimulating effect on
values. Nothing but the lack of specu-
lation prevents an advance in prices.
The export demand, if continued, with
our present small stocks, may lead to
increased speculative activity and fur
nish the market with that support the
lack of which caused the recent de-
cline

London, April 27.-A dispatch to
the Times from Milouna says:
The Greeks abandoned Kritiri during
the night and fed. The Turks are now
marching on Larissa. Edhem Pasha
will not allow his troops to enter the
town, which, but little damaged, is sur
rounded by a Gordon of cavalry. An
officer with a squadron of horse has
been dispatched for the protection OF
the Greek monastery in case of any dis
order.
The Greeks, in their hurried fight,
forgot to cut the telegraph wires be-
tween Milouna and Tyrnavos. The
Turkish cavalry has reached the envir-
ons of Larissa and has taken several
Greek soldiers captive. These say a
perfect panic prevails in the town.
Edhem Pasha makes his headquar-
ters in Greece tonight. The sultan has
sent him the Immiaz order in bril-
liants. The coast road between Elias
soma and Milouna has been cleared,
and thus a supply of provisions and
ammunition is assured. The discipline
of the army is excellent. Today it is
rumored here that the Crown Prince
Constantine has fed. The Turkish loss
so far has not been great, only about
400 at the most.
The POSTS Athens correspondent
says: A terrible panic took place on
Friday night during the retreat, which
became a miserable rout. the Turkish
cavalry using rifles, bavcnets and re-
volvers indiscriminately. The corre-
spondents of the London Times and the
Reuter- Telegram Company were nearly
killed. Mr.. Williams, who represents
the Daily Chronicle, remained at Tyr
navos. Other correspondents lost their
sketches and their baggage.
The Daily Telegraph's Elassona cor
respondent says that Edhem Pasha's or
ders with respect to the inviolability
of private property are strictly respect
ed by his troops. The Greek villages
are not sacked, and only few spirit
stores" have been burned.
The Standards correspondent at Mi
louna says the Turks captured large
stores of provisions and ammunition at
Tyrnavos.

noon, while King Humbert was on his
way to the races, a man named Pietro

Arriving at the race course, his majesty
