A Family of Six Slain.

Bismarck, N. D., Feb. 19.-The horri-
bic discovery of the murder of six per-
sons was made Tuesday near Winona,
on the Missouri river, about 80 miles
below Bismarck. The wholesale slaugh-
ter occurred at the farmhouse of Thorn
as Spicer. The affair is shrouded in
mystery. 1t is believed that Indians
may have been the murderers, although
there is nothing to substantiate the
theory other than that a number of
them are said to have been seen loiter-
ing about the neighborhood. 1t is said
they were decked with war paint, which
is considered proof that they were out
for mischief. The dead are: Mrs. Will
liam Waldron. Mrs. William Rouse, twin
baby boys, sons of Mrs. Rouse; Rev.

HOPEFUL SIGNS.
Trade Situation Presents Many
Promising Indications.


New York, Feb. 20.-R G. Dun & Co.,
in their weekly review of trade, say:
"A large increase in the iron and
steel business, ON account OF sales COW
ering eight to twelve months produc-
ton of the largest works, a better de-
mand for wooden goods, and slightly
better prices for wheat, cotton, wool
adapted to encourage liberal purchases
against further improvement in bust
ness, have rendered the past week moro
hopeful than any other since early In
November. The heavy excess of mer-
cbandise exports over imports in Jan
uaTy, the continuance of exchange rates
showing that Europe is still largely in
debted to this country on current ac-
count, and the prospect that congress
will adjourn without any disturbing
action, all have their favorable infiu-
ence upon the money market and upon
future undertakings. The volume OF
business is not accurately represented
by clearing house exchanges, owing to
the extra holiday this year at some
commercial centers. But the daily
average appears to be "a per cent
smaller than last year. The railroad
earnings begin to show improvement,
being 81 per cent. larger than last
year for the second week of February.

the hands of the powers.
Canea, Feb. 1S.-Vice Admiral Cane
varo, commanding the allied naval
forces of the powers in Cretau waters,
has written note to the Greek consul
at this place, informing that official
tnat it is the purpose of the powers by
their occupancy of various cities OF the
island to promote abloodless settlement
of the Cretan difficulty, and that there
fore any attack upon the towns occu-
pied, whether made by Turks or Chris
tians, will be repealed by the united
forces Of the powers. He also urges the
insurgents and Greeks to abstain from
military action in other parts of the
island.
Athens, Feb. 1S.-News was received
Wednesday night that Col. Vassos has
captured another important position
in Crete, the village of Vouklies. II

tians are blockading Retimo. A por-
ton of the forces, commanded by Col.
Vassos, attacked the tower of Bonco-
loin, which place was surrendered by
the Turkish garrison after a short re-
sistance.

troops in Crete, has received instruc-

military preparations on the part of
Greece continue. Two more classes of
the reserves have been called out. The
king openly favors resistance to the de-
niands of the powers.
London, Feb. pa dispatch to the
Times from Vienna says that the Neue
Freie Presse publishes a report from
Salonica to the effect that a collision
has occurred between the Turkish SOL
diers and the Greek insurgents at

Turks were defeated with losses and
withdrew for reenforcements. The gov
ernor of Salonica has ordered the troops
to the point where the disturbance took
place. The population along the Greek
frontier, according to the Neue Freie
Presse, is eagerly awaiting the signal to
rise against the Turks.
