A Daring RObber Shot Full of Holes
was street Car RObber.
TACOMA. Wash, May 24.--A single
robber, late yesterday afternoon, held
up and attempted to rob an incoming
car on the Steilacoom electric line.
About four miles out of the city, tall
man roughly dressed hailed the car,
which stopped to let him aboard. AS
he got on the platform, he pulled a
blue dotted calico mask, having
holes cut through for eyes, down
over his face, produced re.
volver, and ordered Superintend-
emit Dame, of the motor line, and
Motorman Wellman to the rear of the
car. They complied slowly and he
followed, ordering the men and pas
sengers to hold up their hands, and
the ladies to sit still. Dame and Well
man had entered rear compartment
used for carrying baggage and freight.
The robber evidently thought them
safely disposed of, for he paid no more
attention to them, but commenced re-
lieving the passengers of their valu.
ables. Superintendent Dame drew
his gun and fred at the rob
Der, who returned the fire. Dame
fired two shots and the robber three.
Two minutes later the robber was
lying beside the car dead, while Dame
had been shot in the arm and Jewett
Smith, passenger, in the leg. One
of Danes bullets passed through the
right arm Of the robber and the other
through the left arm, both entering
his body, striking lungs or heart.
Groaning heavily, he staggered back
ward to the front platform and fell off

Change Of Turkish Ministry Is Being
lSousSed-Edhem PashA Repeats His
Claim That Peace Negotiations Must
BE Conducted with Him.

LONDON, May 94.-The correspond
emit of the Times at Constan tinople
says:
"The powers have instructed their
ambassadors to act as their represent
atives in mediating between Turkey
and Greece. A collective note will be
handed to the porte forthwith. Palace
circles now realize that great mall
adresse has been displayed on the
Turkish side. The question is how to
retreat from the present situation
without humiliation, and change of
ministry is being discussed as the best
way to save appearances" 4tI
The correspondent OF the Standard
at Constantinople says:
''The peace negotiations continue,
1t is asserted that the amount of in
demnity will be reduced to 5000, 900
Tires, 1000, 900 to be paid in cash to
Turkey and 5000, 900 to be accepted by
Russia as part payment Of the indem-
nifty owed her by Turkey.
1T is said here that after the sus-
pension of hostilities the Greeks, under
pretense of washing their linen,
crossed the bridge over to Arta and
were attacked by the Turkish COM
manders, who drove them back after
heavy fighting for ten hours.
ATHENS, May 24.-It is again semi
officially asserted that Edhem Pasha,
the Turkish commander-in-chie has
repeated his statement that peace
must be negotiated with him, and is
now pressing for the appointment of
a Greek plenipotentiary to conduct the
settlement of terms.
LONDON, May 24.-The Athens cor
respondent of the Standard says:
"The government and people are
now only anxious for the disarming of
the irregulars, and they confidently
rely upon General Smolenski to do this
as soon as the conditions of peace have
been agreed upon. The Greek army is
paralyzed, and news comes from
Salonica of the dispatch of large Turk
ish reinforcements to Thessaly.
At Larissa, Trikkala and Karditza
the Turks seized corn valued at a
million drachmas.
LONDON, May s4.-According to a
dispatch to the Daily Graphic from

Autonomy without Military Protection
objected To-The ArnhlStIce General
GAMBIA, Crete, May 99.-The Cretan
insurgents have received instructions
from Athens to accept an autonomous
form of government ON condition that
the Turkish troops shall be withdrawn
from the island. The insurgents APP
pear to approve of this plan for
the settlement of their grievances.
The Mussulmans of Crete, however,
have telegraphed to the Sultan pro-

of the majority which betrayed such
hostility to the Mussulmans by the
carnage at Sitia and the destruction
of all the Mohammedau villages"
adding: Autonomy under such cir
cumstances cannot fail to perpetuate
race wars and will only briefly post

Jesse Grants Mexican ConossslOn to Be
Used for Great Gambling Place.
SAN Francisco, May 2S.-Ths con-
cession obtained by Jesse Grant and
his associates from the Mexican gov
eminent for lands surrounding the hot
springs of Tia Juana, across the
boundary line, covers also a privilege
for running a lottery and for gam
bling. It is said that Grant does not
intend to enter the business, but that
eastern people are prepared to take
control of this feature of the conces-
sion, while Grant attends to the colo
.nization and development of the min
eral waters. ..r.s
The identity of the Eastern people is
not known, but it is learned that the
Dryers are figuring on the purchase
Of the Rierson and San Antonio
ranches, some miles below Tia Juana,
to be used for raising racing stock. A
local real estate man who is handling
the matter for Grant and his asso.
ciates, is authority for the statement
that the intended purchasers declare
they will build the finest gambling
house in the world at the springs to
cost 81, 100, 900, to include every game
of chance known, with a lottery in
connection. The deal is to be closed
this week.

STATESMEN In A RIOT.
WILD SCENES IN THE SPAN
ISH CORTEZ.
Senator COmas Fans BOHed-Duke Of
Tetuan Resigns as a Result Of the Row
was Assaulted by COmaS' Son and a
General scuGie Easued.

MADBID, MAY 25, The Duke of Te-
tuan, minister of foreign affairs, has
resigned, as a result of an incident in
the Senate to-day, when he boxed the
ears Of Senator Comas. Senior CanOvas,
the premier, will take the portfolio ad
interim. The Liberals of the Senate
have decided to attend no more ses-
sions of the Senate until full satisfac-
ton has been accorded to Senator Co.
mas and the Liberal party by the Duke
Of Tetuan.
The exciting incident which culmi-
mated in free fight was provoked by
the statement of the Duke of Tetuan
that Senior Sagasta's speech the other
day to the Liberals had contributed to
bring about the vote in the American
Senate.
General Luis Pando said "The
thing now happening is due to the
cOwardice and feebleness of the gov
ernmeEt
Senator Comas said: "You will dis
cuss that tomorrow.
"We win discuss it, replied the
Duke of Tetuan, 'but l will accept
dictation from nobody"
-''Nor /, either" retorted Senator
Gomas, at the top of his voice
At this point the Duke of Tetuan,
pale with excitement, boxed both ears
of Senator Comas and felled him to the
floor. The son of Comas threw him
self upon the duke and struck him a
heavy blow with his fist Several
senators interviewed and general
scufle ensued, with great confusion,
and it was some time before order was
restored
The Duke of Tetuan rendered his
resignation Immediately after the in
cident, 1t is believed that he mis-
understood the reply of Senator Comas,
as he is regarded as an extremely
courteous and honorable man.
Senator Comas is professor in the
University of Madrid and is held in
high esteem in scholastic and political
circles a
After a deliberatiOn with the Sec
Onds of the two men, it was decided
that under the code duello duel was
