where the German can do anything
easily. The trade everywhere will rec
ognlze the narrowness of the seaboard
markets for such an emergency. and
so the Chicago pit will have to respond
to the worlds demands of all sorts
the desire of shorts to close their con-
tracts, OF hedgers to take back their
sales SO as to get some benefit from
the new situation, and of the bull spec
ulators to increase their lines. There
Will be consequently pressure Of both
sorts upon the price, from people anx-
ious to save losses and from those So
licitous to make a profit.
The situation may possibly be made
less acute today by action of the DOW
ers or by explanations by Greece 1t
is hardly likely, though, that anything
will develop which will cause speculat-
ors to be as nonchalant to the Mediter-
ranean situation as they have so far
been. The short will want to get out
even if the prospect is today less war
like than it looked Saturday night.
The short interest is probably not in
one sense extensive 1t runs up in the
millions, of course. The wheat pretty
nearly everywhere is sold here No
body probably would put this so-called
SAiOI Interest dI less tnan 5U,UUU, 700
bushels. 1t may be double that. but
this is not a short interest in the or
d1nary acceptation. The people who
own the 100000 bushels Of Chicago
wheat have it sold, but an advance
would to them mean merely the put
ting up of margins. While the advance
or the futures would be against them
the first or rapid advance of the spot
grain would be equally In their favor
1t would be the same with the North
western interest, which owns the grain
at Minneapolis, Duluth and in coun-
try elevators. There would be severe
margin calls at Chicago, but the money
would be in the wheat which would
advance as fast as the price of futures
1t is probable there will be some
fierce margin calling today, and there
will be, Of course, some scrambling by
those who have been over-playing The
result will be fortunate for the trade
II 1t is not too warlike There have
been in times past some terrific war ad-
vances The last Turkish war with
Russia twenty years ago, advanced
wheat within week so cents per bush
ell and the war between France and
Germany in 1870 ran the price up about
as much.

PORTE BLAMEs GREECE.
Official Reasons Given the Press for
Declaring War.

CONSTANTINOPLE, April 1S-An
official communication to the news
papers states that the imperial govern
ment has spared no pains to preserve
the peace, but that Greece, having sent
troops to Crete in defiance of the wish
Of the powers, and having begun hos
tilities on the frontier, has compelled
Turkey to defend her integrity and to
retaliate by an act Of war. The mini
ster of war has given explicit orders to
Edhem Pasha, in accordance with an
imperial decree approving the decision
of the council and adopting the plan of
operations formulated by the military
commission. The trade throws the en-
tire responsibility for the war upon
Greece.
Edhem Pasha is authorized to take
immediate action, defensive or often
sive, in accordance with this plan and
in the exercise of his best judgment.
CONSTANTINOPLE, April 1S.-The
Porte invites Prince Maurocordato and
all Greek consuls on Turkish territory
to quit the confines of the empire, CIV
ing the Greek subjects fifteen days
notice. Prince Maurocordato will leave
on Tuesday by the Austrian mail boat.
CONSTANTINOPLE. April 1S-The
Porte has received a dispatch from
Edhem Pasha, at Elassona, dated Sat
urday, saying that in consequence Of
an invasion of Turkish territory by
the Greeks his troops have seized the
heights of Pernar and yelschko. The
fourth division, from Elassona, under
Haida Pasha, and a full brigade, under
Nam Pasha, have entered Greek terri
tory.
CONSTANTINOPLE, April 1S.-Tew-
fix Pasha, the Turkish minister for
foreign affairs, visited the foreign en-
voys yesterday and informed them that
the Turkish frontier had been crossed
on Friday night by fresh bands Of
Greeks, among whom were a number
of Greek regulars.
1t was this which led to the calling of
a council of ministers and precipitated
the decision to announce that war had
| broken out between Greece and Turkey.
The Greek minister here prince Mauro-
cordato, was at the same time notified
of the rupture of diplomatic relations

TURKS DECLARED THE WAR.


Greeks of All Political Parties Up
hold the Government.
ATHENS, April 1S.-Assim Bey has
handed to M. Skouzes, the Greek min
lister of foreign affairs, the following
note: I'm consequence Of the agrees
sive attitude of Greece, diplomatic rela-
tions between the king OF the Hellenes
and his imperial majesty, the sultan of
Turkey, and their respective govern
ments are hereby broken off. The Greek
minister at Constantinople and the
Greek consuls have been ordered to
quit Turkish territory. For the same
reasons the Turkish consuls in Greece
have been recalled to Constantinople.
Within a fortnight from the date of
this announcement all Greek subjects
must leave Turkish territory. Ottoman
subjects now in Greek territory have
been invited to leave it within the
same period"
ATHENS, April ia late special
sitting of the legislative assembly was
held today. The public galleries were
crowded. Amid intense excitement, M.
Delyannis, the premier, announced that
the Turkish government had today no
tilted Greece of the rupture OF diplo
matte relations, on the ground of the
aggressive attitude of the Greek govern
ment. In &, cool, but deliberate speech,
he reviewed the recent events to show
on the contrary that Turkey had been
the aggressOr; that her troops had att
tackled the Greeks and that her bac-
teries at Prevesa had sunk the Mace
donia. Turkey" said Delyannis, "de-
clareS war against us. We accept it,
This statement was received with pro-
lOnged cheers from the galleries and
the floor Of the chamber
The premier then read dispatches re-
citing the events which happened on
the frontier, and with the reference to
the reported capture of MeneXa he
said that the batteries at that i'm
portant position had been brought
into action, but he knew nothing as to
it's alleged capture. He added that the
Turks, after repeated attempts to
force a passage at Reveni, which CON-
mands the road to Larissa, had been
driven back.
The leaders Of the opposition, amid
renewed cheers from all parts Of the
chamber and from the galleries, elO-
quently indOrsed the patriotic declara-
tions Of M. Delyannis.
ATHENS, April 1s-(Midnight.)-
The government has addressed a note
to Assim Bey expressing surprise at
the allegations contained in his note
to M. SkOuzes and pointing out facts
proving that Turkey is the aggressor.

of the best informed engineers and
levee directors, 1t is stated that no ex-
traordinary cause for -uneasiness ex-

The Diana Vaughan Humbug.

The scandal which interests many coun-
tries was revealed in Paris on Tuesday. A
man named Leo Taxil, by birth a Marseil-
lais, has for long time past been putting
a woman named Diana Vaughan, who he
declares was the secret head of the Free
masons, who were alleged. in America at
least, to be devoted to the worship Of Sa-
tan. She herself, under the auspices Of Gen.
Pike, an old and respected American Ma
sen, was married to Asmodeus, devil OF
high rank. This rubbish found believers
among some clerical and ignorant Catholics.
Leo Taxil was received in audience by the
Pope, and the greatest interest was mani
tested in Diana Vaughan, who was repre-
scented as sincerely repentant, and con-
vert to Catholicism, and to whom Cardinal
Porocchio. a candidate for the papacy. act
usIly wrote a letter Of sympathy.
Taxil has now made q public speech IN
Faris In which In the presence OF many
priests he confessed that the whole story
was a gigantic hoax, got up by him out
OF sheer love Of mystihcation. Diana
Vaughan being typewriter OF his ac-
qua.ntance who knew nothing Of Gen. Fike
or Asmodeus either. The audience was very
much inclined to lynch Mr.. Taxil. who had

ing cash. His stories had ready sale: and
there are men in Paris who would do any
thing to discred:t the Catholic church.
which, no doubt. Is inclined by tradition to
be rather credulous about Freemasonry. It
is probable that a good many OF the stories
about Satanism in Paris have been got
up in the same way. by men who traded
at once on Catholic credulity and on the
appetite for the horrible and the nasty.

THE GOLD PRODUCT.

The gold production Of the world has
been the subject of some recent investi-
CATION by the director of the French
mint at the request Of the International
Institute Of Statistics. The report OF
NJ. d'Foville shows that the increase
in the production of gold during the
last half of the present century has
been something enormous as compared
with former periods. The average an
nual product of silver and gold during
the 18th century he puts at 16 million
dollars, % million dollars in the 18th
century. and 80 million in the 18th CEN
t,1ry. For the first half of the 18th
century the annual production OF both
metals averaged about 10 million dol
lars. but in the % years between 1851
and 1879. there was an enormous In
crease. the average production being
$50 million dollars, two-thirds OF which
was in gold. while in previous years
the proportion as between gold and sill
yer had been about equal. Between
1891 and 1895 the gold production in
creased enormously, SO that the gold
production of the world Is now about
80 million dollars per annum. with the
prospect of q further increase during

THE CURFEWLAw.

Pingree seldom fails of being in evil

some that great events develop the ex-
istence OF great men, by others that 1t
is the great man who brings about the
great events. Governor Pingree man.
ages at least to catch on to all the great
opportunities, while he claims, or his
friends do for him, that he Is the au-
thor of great occasions. However that
may be, Pingree is regularly heard
from. He may be a good deal OF a
demagogue in some things, but in We
toing so-cslled curfew law applying
to the entire state he has done the right
thing for the right reason He says the
hill was wrong because it assumed for
the state q power and a responsibility
that should be exercised by parents.
II is. doubtless, bad thing for chill
dren to be allowed to run the streets at
night without control Of any sort But
If will be a worse thing to cultivate the
sentiment that parents are TO be re-
lieyed of all responsibility for the
whereabouts and behavior of their chill
dren. Parents should be made to feel
more and not less responsibility for the
proper training OF their families, ana
so-calIed curfew laws tend to lessen
parental responsibility, and for this rea-
con. among others, are unwise and like
ly to prove positively harmful.
