North Dakota Brute Murders WOman's
Children to Compel Her Submission.
LARIMoRE, n. D., May "A double
murder took place at the residence of
Knute Hillstead, a prominent farmer
residing eight miles west of here, at
one o'clock this morning. August Nor
man, a young man well known in this
section, who had been making his home
at HiIlstead's, off and on, came there
yesterday afternoon. Mr.. Hillstead be-
ing absent, he wanted to stay all night
About one o'clock Norman went to
Mrs. Hillstead's room and de-
manded admission. She blocked
the door, and he said he would
kill all the family if she did not
admit him. She refused, and Norman
procured razor went up stairs and
cut the throat of Peter X. Hillstead,
aged Is. He then went down stairs
and tried to get into Mrs. Hillstead's
room again, but she had blocked the
door. He then proceeded to carve the
l3-months-old son, Thomas, after which
he cut the throats of Adolph and Oscar,
aged II and three. lie then forced his
way into Mrs. Hillstead's bedroom and
assaulted her, promising to not kill
her and the two little girls The two
oldest sons are still alive, with but
little hopes of recovery. After doing
the murders he stole one of the horses
and is still at large.

Greeks Not Opposed to Mediation, But Win
Not Ask for 1.-THE Turkish View.
ATHENS, May 4.-The diploma tic situ-
alton may be summed up as follows:
No request for mediation has been or
will be addressed by Greece to the
powers until the ministers of war and
marine report on the state of the
Greek forces at Pharsalos and else
where. The powers have not offered
mediation, although they do not con-
ceal the fact that request for inter
vention will be highly acceptable to
them. The minister for foreign affairs,
NJ. Slloulodis, says the military situa-
tion has greatly improved in both
Epirus and Thessaly, and that the vic
tory of the Greeks over the Turks at
Velestino was, brilliant. 1t is said M.
but will not ask for it. Official circles
at Athens seem anxious that the pow
ers should impose mediation.
Rumors conflict materially as to the
diplomatic attitude of Turkey. Ac-
cording to one report, Edhem Pasha,
Turkish commander in Thessaly, has
asked an armistice of five days; accord
ing to another, an armistice already
exists by the tacit acquiescence of both
commanders while a third story de-
scribes Edhem Pasha as only awaiting
reinforcements for an attack upon
Pharsalos, to be followed by an attack
upon Volo. 1t is also said to be prob
able that Adm. Tamatello is prepar-
ing to prevent a possible attempt
of the Turks to seize Volo by the
coast road

GRANT MONUMENT.

in sight of the tomb, claimed the at
tention of the crowd. All of these ves-
sells made a magnificent showing in
their gala attire, with rainbows of
bunting from bow to stern.
The arrival of the official portion of
the procession at the tomb was the
signal for stupendous outburst of
patriotic cheering from the so, 900 peo-
pie. The president and other guests
the next to greet him, and the two
Spanish ships, the Marie Teresa and
the Infanta Isabella, the French cor
vette Fulton, the Italian cruiser Do
gall, and the Raleigh, Columbia, Am
phitrite and Terror of the White
Squadron saluted in quick succession
as the Dolphin steamed by.
The Sons of Confederate veterans,
who were to have arrived at the tomb
at $50 o'clock and place floral wreath
with crossed swords upon the sarcopha-
gus, were an hour late. The tokens
were reverently laid on the sarcoph
agus by Gen. J. B. Gordon, while his
comrades stood by with uncovered
heads.
The exercises commenced with the
singing of America" A solemn silence
then fell on the dense crowd as the
venerable Bishop John p Newman in
voked the blessings of Heaven upon
the ceremonies. A mighty cheer arose
as President Mckinley moved to the
speakers stand to deliver his address.
He was introduced by Mayor Strong.
AS the president removed his hat, cries
came from all sides: Put on your
hat; we'll excuse you" The president,
however, stood with barred head, de-
spite the nipping wind that swept
across the exposed stand and delivered
his address.
Mr.. McKinley's address was followed
by those of Gen. Porter and Mayor
Strong. Almost every reference to
Grant in all the speeches was wildly
cheered.
The land parade was waited for after
the conclusion of the ceremonies. The
sky became overcast with clouds and
the wind increased until it almost
howled around the trees. Suddenly
in the cloud of dust from the south,
between the two black lines of people,
who seemed to meet in the perspective,
came the nodding plumes of the SOL
diers. On they marched, an endless
line of white and red and blue and
gray. First passing on the west side
of the monument oval and returning
on the north road under the monu-
mental arch, they passed the president
in review, and then back again into
the black background of humanity and
the white clouds of dust, Surrounded
by his cabinet, his generals and his
friends, President Mckinley stood and
reviewed the grandest military pageant
ever seen in this city. There were reg
ular soldiers, regular sailors, national
guardsmen of the sea and land forces,
Grand Army veterans, confederate vet
Grams and the striplings who, in the
future, may fight as gallantly as their
fathers did.
