From the Spectator

fIOm the spectator.
The Greek army is now encamped on the
plain where Bucepha.us was reared; but
the famous Thessalian horses have now
dwindled to the size of ponies, ridden by
the irregulars and local levies of the
Greeks. Bucephalus was the most cost
ly war horse ever bought. The animal
came out of a noted stud owned by Thes-
salan chief; and even before its celebrat-
ed tanning by Alexander this gentleman
asked Philip f2,5lS los. as his lowest price.
Pliny says that Philip gave 1895 more than
this 1t now appears that contrary to
general belief, Bucephalus was a mare.
This accounts for the high price paid. The
purchaser would breed foals from the
costly animal. Compared with the prices
asked for Arab mares Of great descent in
much later times. the sum demanded is
not excessive. But Bucephalus was a good
bargain even as a war horse. She was
ridden until she was thirty years old. and
then died of wounds received in a battle
with Porus, and left her bones in the Pun
lab

Pittsburg, July 0-The close of the
third day of the miners strike finds the
diggers gaining strength rapidly in the
Pittsburg district, elating the officials
and men correspundingly. The let result
of the struggle up to date, as Cleaned
from unbiased as we'll rs from partisan
sources, is about as follows.
Nineteen thousand men idle, an almost
total suspension of work in che mines
along the Monongahela river; suspension
practically total on the Wheeling divi-

only about fifty men working there;all of
the railroad mines closed down, with the
exception of the NJ. a. Hanna & Co.
mines along the Panhandle, the New

and few individual mines, which can

Austria-Hungary Now Threatens
the Porte.
A SENSATIONAL REPORT FROM
PARls-FRENcH MINISTER OF
MARINE SAID TO HAVE IN
sTRuCTED THE ADMIRAL IN
COMMAND TO MOBILIZE HIS
FLEET WITH THE VIEW OF
MAKING A DEMONSTRATION.

London, July 9.-Eastern affairs show
but little change during the last twenty
four hours. a sensational newspaper in
Paris published runor to-day that NJ.
HanotauX, minister of foreign affairs.
had informed the cabinet that matters in
the east were very serious. and that ADJ
miral Besnard, the minister OF marine,
had instructed the admiral in command
OF the Mediterranean fleet 10 mobolize
his forces with view of making n naval
demonstration in the Bosphorus but
this is regarded as unnecessarily alarmist.
More to the purpose is the fact that
Austria Hungary has presented note to
the Porte declaring that unless the Turk
ish government appoints day for the
Turkish military commission to discuss
with the European attaches the strategic
frontier proposed by Europe the Ambas-
sailors will request their respective gov
ernments to adopt energetic measures.
According to the best information Oh.
tainable this strategic frontier would
give Turkey about 200 square Kilometres
of territory in the district of Metzova
ana some villages in the Tvrnavos district
The indemnity would he 4, 800, 900 pounds
Turkish, 100000 pounds to be paid on
the departure of the Turks from Thes-
sally and an equal amount in the course
of year,a Franco English company rails
ing the money by farming the Greek Gus
toms. These concessions are made with
view of enabling the sultan TO overcome
the objections of the war party. 1t is
the general belief that the negotiations
are likely to continue until the end of the
year, when winter will compel Turkey to
withdraw her troops from Thessaly. Just
now, while the weather is good and food
abundant, it is comparatively easy to
keep them there. AN imperial order has
been issued to the commandment of the
Dardenelles to. prepare for the sailing of
the Turkish meet under sealed orders
Vienna, July 0-The semi.oflcial

government is doomed to failure IL it

denblatt adds:

become convinced that its attempts to

The Wheat Crop May Prove IL Factor for
Future Business.
New York, July 0.-Dun's Review CT
Trade tomorrow will say
The strike of the bituminous coal
miners tax es 75,U00 or more men from
work. 1t threatens to restrict the sup
ply OF fuel from some quarters, though
the miners of West Virginia and at some
other points have refused to quit work
These operators claim to be able to meet
the demands of the Eastern States for
some months. At the West the strike is
not by any means unitedly sustained and
the impression prevails that the strike
will be short lived.
The tin plate works throughout the
country have settled the wage question
and all are agan'busy.
A general settlement MS to wages in
the iron and steel Industries is expected
without much delay. The new orders in
vacation hogan.
Cotton mills have n steady increasing
demand. Wooden mills are getting more
orders. Leather WAS saved frcm de-
cline in prices, though quotations do not
change. There is II great snrinkage in
the demand for boots and shoes.
Each week raises the estimate OF the
wheat CROP which promises to be inn

for future business. che prospects for n

against 2l5 for the same week last year.
