Turkey Sends 1000 More Troops to
Thessaly.
WILL. NOT RELAX HOLD UPON
THAT PROVINCE
Sincerity of Germany and Russia Doubted
King George Advised to Concentrate
5000 Picked Troops at Athens-Note of
Powers Presented.


London, May 25.-The aspect of Eastern
affairs is less peaceful. Turkey is sen d.
ing 1000 more troops to Thessaly and it is
said that the Sultan has promised his
ministers not to relax his hold upon that
province.
The note of the Powers certainly does
not yield on single point and states
even that the peace conference must be
held at Constantinople and not at Phar-
salos; but the sincerity of both Germany
and Russia is doubted, and any sign of
dissension among the Powers makes for
obstinancy on the part of the Sultan.
1t is reported from Vienna that the
Emperor Nicholas has advised King
George, for his own safety to appoint a
military governor with exceptional powers
and to- concentrate 5000 picked troops at
Athens. i5It
Athens, May ga despatch from
Lamia today says that three hundred
Ghegs intruded upon the neutral zone,
but were driven back by the Greek gend-
ar1nes. The Crown Prince Constantin
has strongly protested against this as a
violation OF the ar1pistice.
London, May ga despatch to the
Daily News from Constantinople says
that the identical note of the Powers, who
was presented to the Turkish government
yesterday (Tuesday) embodying the terms
of peace to which they will agree, declines
to permit the abolition of the capituala-
lions in the case of Greek subjects or the
annexation of Thessaly, but is much
milder in tone than was at first under
stood.
The correspondent of the Times says
the note expresses the views of the
Powers sin deferentially suggestive

but it indicates the prevailing distrust OF

spoke as if he had hopes of yet making

ton varies from 9.77 to 1910 cents per one
hundred pounds, while the differential
in the House bill varies from 1920 to
7.35 cents per one hundred pounds. The
table shows that the differential between
graduated sugar and 96 degree centri-
fuegals this being by far the most i'm
portant class of raw sugars and in
amount two-thirds of the total imports of
raw cane is 9.87 per one hundred pounds;
on "a degrees centrifuegals the differe n
tial is 1913 cents; ON SO degree Muscava-
does the differential is 146 cents
In order to show that the committee s
proposition does not give undue advantage
to beet sugars as compared with cane
sugars statement was submitted by the
orator to show the differentials between
raw and refined beet sugars in compare
son with the differential of the same
sugars based on the rates imposed by ex-
isting law
Mr.. Aldrich also submitted statements
showing the ditferentials under varying
values of sugar, and resumed his argli-
ment showing that the German retiner re-
ceived net bounty of twenty eight hun
dredths of cent per pound, thus enabling
him to sell his product at q less price
than the American refiner has to pay for
90 degree centrifugals.
He then replied at length to statement
by Hon. William l.. Wilson, in which the
latter estimated the rates imposed by the
Senate committees proposition. Continu-
ing Mr.. Aldrich stated that the adoption
OF the bounty provisions of the Senate
and House proposals or similar provisions
for counteryailing duties seems to be a
necessity if we are to develop the beet
sugar industry in the United States.
Otherwise it will be possible for any
foreign country by extension Of its
bounties to neutralize entirely the extent
of our protective duties.

Otto Adler kept an all night restau-
rant in the lower story of the house.
There were seventeen men and wo-
men in one room in the second story.
None Of the dead were burned. They
were suffocated by smoke from the
fire in adjacent rooms. The only exit
for escape was blocked by a bath tub
set up on end at the head of the stair
way. The smoke came from an ada
cent room, where the fire was soon
eXtinguished. 1t seems that it was
wedding frolic, in which Guth, one of
the dead men, was the bridegroom and
the daughter of Landlord Adler was
the bride The celebrants of the we'd
ding used beer and cigarettes very free
ly and it is supposed that cigarettes
started the fire and that beer
caused the somnolence with which
the up-ended bath tub were indirect
causes of so much fatality. While
four out Of seventeen in the room
were suffocated fatally, the other thir-
teen suffered but slightly.

Canadian Government Taking Advantage

City of Mexico August 5.-The Cana
dian envoy, Edmund E. Sheppard
who left for the United States, being on
his way to Central America, via New
York. has been cordially received here,
and he has undoubtedly had in his
favor the hostile nature of the new
American tariff, which has so severe
ly attacked various lines OF Mexico S
export trade. The Canadian govern
ment desires to secure the trade here
and in Central America, and doubt
less Mr.. Sheppard's mission Will lead
to some results, although hardly such
as will inspire apprehension In the
United States. Canadian lumber Will
find a market here, and various lines
of manufactured goods If properly IN
troduced. and it is believed the Cana
dian government is prepared to en-
courage direct trade with this country.
Trade with England is diminishing IN
several lines, owing, in part, to the
competition Of American manufacture
ers and the growth of cotton manufac-
turing industries here. The American
steel rail manufacturers are success
fully competing with the Europeans

San Francisco, August 5.-The news
that Hawaii had virtually excluded
the Chinese is confirmed by Honolulu
advices brought by the Australian.
When the annexation proposition was
made to the United States, one of the
principal clauses was that Chinese i'm
migration should cease. AS start in
this direction the Hawaiian govern
ment has decided TO issue no more six
months residence permits TO Chinese
or to execute any bonds for contract
laborers to arrive.
The planters don't fear the labor
problem. In fact, they are already
solving it and that to the detriment of
the Japanese. Recently they have de-
veloped plans for colonizing the Amer
lean plantation negro in Hawaii, or

and cotton plantations.

For Making Insurance Companies Pay for
Klondyke Gold Prospecting: Nipped in
the Bud.
indianapolis, Ind, August 5.-The
determination of the leading life insur-
ance companies to carry no risks on
Klondyke explorers has fallen with
dampening effect on the cooperative
companies which were forming in this
city and upon a number of men who
are preparing to start for Alaska dur
ing the coming winter.
One of these companies interned
sending ten representatives, each in
sured for 81 1000 giving each man
S1.C0O, besides money for contingent
expenses, all Of them to cooperate
in the search for gold, dividing equally
with the company, and in case of death
the insurance money TO be paid TO
the company. BY each death the com
pany stood to win $500, on the basis
that not more than $500 would be
spent on each representative. Another
company simply designed carrying
sufficient insurance TO reimburse Tor
actual outlay. 1t is not thought thai
any of these companies will proceed
further with the organization.

the girl three times in the face,

her eyes. He then choked her until
