GERMANY AIDING THE SULTAN.

LONDON, April 3.-The correspond
ent of the Daily Chronicle at Athens
says that news comes from the frontier
of insurgent bands already crossing it.
1t Is said that no one can hold them
longer in check. Albania is on the
verge of revolt. The correspondent
adds: ''I can also confirm the report
of the existence of a secret treaty be-

by Prince Lobanoff, and the report

ATHENS, April 2.-It is reported here
tonight that the Greek government has
been notified, semi-oficially, that a
blockade Of the Greek ports will be
enforced within three or four days.

thinks the likeliest way of forcing the
situation, by exciting the Greeks 10
hostile acts on the Turkish frontier, has
evidently been determined upon.
The newspapers today unanimously
urge the government to take prompt
action before the powers present an
ultimatum. The decision of the gov
ernment is not yet known, If, indeed,
final decision has been reached. but
1t is believed in official circles that both
the king and the cabinet will favor
active measures. 1t is reported here
that there is great excitement among
the MacedOnians and Epirotes in Thes-
sally because of the rumors of excesses
committed by the Turkish troops in
Macedonia.
CONSTANTINOPLE, April 2.-It is
stated on undoubted authority that the
efficient manner in which the Turkish
forces were modified on the Greek
frontier is due to German officers, and
1t is added that all the plans Of cam
paign entrusted to them to carry out
have been prepared by able strategists
in Berlin. The greatest confidence,
therefore, is felt In military circles here
as to the outcome Of any conflict be-
tween Turkey and Greece.
In official circles it Is declared that
a direct agreement between Turkey and
Greece would be hailed with great sat
isfactiOn by the British government.
According to a telegram received by
the Turkish government, the Armenian
revolutionists abroad intend to cause
the resumption of rioting in Anatolia

the best paid of any Of the labor or

teamsters, the coopers, the engineers
and firemen. Should no agreement be
reached by Monday on the wage ques-

ST. PAUL's WATER SUPPLY.
st. Anthony COmDany's Suit Being
Argued at Washington.

WASHINGTON, Oct. Incorporation
Counsel J. E. Markham and his assist
ant, Harmon W. Phillips, this after
noon argued an important case in the
supreme court which affects the
rights of the city of st. Paul relative
to it's supply of water.
The St Anthony Water Power COM
pany and Minneapolis Mill company
have for years been endeayoring to re-
strain the city of st. Paul from get
ting portion of it's water supply from
Rice Lake.
The water power companies claimnot
only riparian right, but also have re-
Gently set up the claim that st. Paul
was taking water without giving due
compensation.
The case was first tried in the dis
trict court at Minneapolis, before
Judge Canty. St Paul scored a vic
tory, which was repeated in the su-
preme court of Minnesota, it being
held that the rights of the state legis-
lature in the act relating to the board
of water commissioners of st. Paul
were paramount. But IN answer 10
the Minneapolis water power compan-
les. the city of st. Paul admitted that
condemnation proceedings should be
had in event it was held that the city
should pay for it's water supply. After
being defeated in the supreme court
the water power companies petitioned
for a rehearing on the ground that
condemnation proceedings were de-
sired. This was denied, it being held
that the plaintiffs had not set up this
claim until after their other remedies
had been sought. On this point the
case was certified to the United States
supreme court
Mr.. Markham is very confident of
the outcome He was armed this aft
ernoon with several jurisdictional
precedents The entire theory of the
case is that the state has authority to
control water for public purposes, pro-
vided the legislature grants municipal
rights in the premises. On the ques-
ton of federal jurisdiction and the
right to condemn property afIected,
there are many cases in which cities
have been sustained in similar actions
1t is only at a low stage of water that
the Minneapolis companies lay claim
to damages.

SHERMAN'S LAST NOTE.
London Times Is Not Disposed to
Quarrel With 1t.

LONDON, Oct. 13.-"The Times says:
Allowing for the peculiarities of
American diplomacy, there is no reason
to quarrel with Secretary Sherman's
reply on the subject of the Bering sea
conference. We entirely disbelieve
that Lord Salisbury, in his oral COM
munications with Ambassador Hay,
ever departed from the position adopt
ed in his final note Of July %. But it is
unnecessary to deal seriously with ex-
pressions of astonishment obviously in
tended to cover the failure of an at
tempt to bluff the British government
in manner disapproved by the lead
ing organs Of American opinion"
The editorial, however, makes this
admission: when we have settled our
relations with the United States on the
basis of the Paris award, it may be
practicable to establish a wider agree
ment for the protection of seal life by
land as we'll as sea. But meanwhile
a much more urgent matter that Sat
urday's cabinet council will have to
deal with is the reply to the Wolcott
commission"
The Daily News says: "It is not denied by
the English experts that unless something
is done the furseals will be exterminated,
though probably they would fix the date of
extinction farther in the future than the
American experts England has greater in
terest in aVerting such result than America
has. Something must be done. What that
something may be, however, is a question
for governments and not experts to decide.
1t is probable that a settlement may be ar
rived at by compensating the Canadian seal
ers in lump sum for abandonment of their
right under the Paris award. There is reason
to believe that Washington is not indsposed
to entertain this. Once tbs principle is ad-
mtted, it is not likely that there would be
any difficulty in fixing the amount of com
pensatien; and if this vested interest were
oil rp1 he 1tIy in,
arranging with the United States for, say,
five years close time on both land and sea.
A few thousand seals would, of course be
killed annually to supply the Indians with
food. But the immense slaughter for the sake
of skins would cease until 1903. We should
not be surprised If Lord Salisbury instructed
Sir Julian Pauncefote on his return to Wash
ington to negotiate such a basis"
The Standard says: I'VE hope that the
withdrawal Of Secretary Sherman's demand
augurs favorably, and that the coming con-
ference will improve instead Of embitter
the relations between England and the United
States.''

another lady to come with her, and she con-

that they could make connection all the way

SO they started on the long race to beat the

such goods, as a rule, at lower prices tnan
those prevailing in New York, and that those
which have proved good sellers cannot long
be duplicated at present prices.

GIBsoN's STATEMENT.
He Says the New York Police Were
Entirely Wrong.

vice president of the Akron, O., Street Rail
way company, who was arragned in Jefferson
market court Tuesday on a charge of having
passed worthless check for $64O on H. R.
Simpson auditor of the Imperial hotel and
discharged, tonight issued a statement,
through his attorney Felix Jellen:k, of IL
Wall street. This statement reads:
''Mr. Dow, of Cleveland, the maker of the
check was present in court and said the
check was good and given to Mr.. Gibson in
the regular course of business. The prose-
cutting witness stated to the court that he
was mistaken in the charge and wanted to
withdraw the complaint. This, the defendant
and his brother, Senator Gibson would not
consent to. After a hearing the court prompt
ly dismissed the complaint. In the court
were prominent business men and~ bankers
from several large cities throughout the coun-
try, ready to testify to the good name and
character of Mr.. Gibson. The whole thing
was untrue and unjust to Mr.. Gibson
Mr.. Gibson was aFrseted after the check
had been, through some error, it is said

which It had been deposited.
