David Hill and Edward Buriew, on the

Truck, on the sloop Elk, all of Keyport.
n. j., were cruising about Raritan bay yes
terday, when suddenly they saw two queer
animals in the water. One OF the men on
board the Elk at once cried out sea SER
pents!" All that was diecernfble was q pair
OF horned heads pushing their way through
the water and toward the sloops. When
the supposed sea serpents came closer the
boatmen we're able to see that the queer
swimmers were steers.
The sloops then came together and the
crews began to think of some arrangement
for raising the animals from the water ana
into the boats. A rude tackle was arranged
on the decks OF the sIoops and the animals
were soon pulled aboard. The steers were
taken to keyport and will be sold. They
are said to be worth 500. which VIII be
divided among the boatmen. 1t is thought
that the steers were lost overheard from
the Allan-1tate line steamer State of Ne

Larissa. Thessaly. April THE cele-
bIa-ion OF the anniversary of GreeN
Independence evoked wild demons rae
tions from the troops here. The Creek
army will not listen to any suggestion
OF re.reatins The excitement an along
the frontier has been u-censc, and II
has been impossible TO tOreteN from
hour to hour whether the troops would
not take the reins in their own hands
and attack the Turkish positions. A
mob surrounded the palace of
Prince Constantin here last evening
and ciamored vigorously for war, and
the guard had to be increased to con-
troll the crowds.
So intense has been the feeling that
a council of officers with the prince
was held last night. at which the offi-
cial leaders of the army insisted upon
an immediate declaration Of war. They
argued that such course was the only
salvation of the throne and dynasty Of
King George This decision of the Of
hcers was sent by the prince to Athens.
The first serious demonstration was
at the close of the services held yester-
day celebrating the national birthday.
The church was crowded and the sol
emnity was broken suddenly 10y tre-
mendous and continued cries of "Hur-
ran for war;" in which the best known
military men and civilians Joined unan-
imously. The prince showed his disap-
proval plainly and quickly, and as the
cheering did nor cease he abruptly left
the church without taking any further
notice of IT,
The effect of this incident was 20 an

onstration at the princes palace last
night followed the spreading Of the
! story.
The army. while under great strain
of excitement. has behaved with re-

scuator ,Iorgan Thinks Force, Not Law, Il
Required at Havana.


Washington. April 7.-AIuoh bad blood
was developed In the senate over the
Cuban question and there were numer-
ous stormy passages and acrimonious
personal charges. Mr.. Morgan Of Ala
bama called up his resolution declaring
that a state of war exists in cuba and
recognizing both parties as belligerents.
He spoke for some time I'm a dispassion-
ate manner on the resolution, but was
aroused by Mr. Hale Of Maine to a se-
ries of sharp retorts. II led to the
declaration by Mr. Morgan that instead
OF sending a lawyer TO Cuba to investi-
gate the case of Or. Ruiz. as was con-
templated, the administration would do
well to send a ship OF war TO Havana
and demand redress.
At another point Mr. Hale questioned
Mr.. Morgan's statement that Cuban
prisons were stuffed" with American
prisoners, declaring that the informa-
ton reaching him (Hale) showed that
no such condition existed.
Mr.. Morgan asked who this informa-
ton came from and then hotly asserted
that he knew where it came from, and
the world knew where II came from, as
the senator from Maine had not denied
/ the fact that he was ia communication
with the Spanish authorities Mr. Hale
Indignantly denied that his informa-
tion came from Spanish sources and
said it was furnished In every item by
American citizens.
The Morgan resolution lost les place
and went to the calendar, but MT Nor
gan VIII continue his speech and has
given notice Of q motion TO proceed
| with the Cuban resolution to a hna|
vote.
Most Of the session was given TO the
bankruptcy bill, Mr. Stewart of Nevada
speaking in opposition. The discussion
drifted to the financial question, Mr.
Chandler and Mr. Stewart having an
amusing discussion on bimetallism
During the discussion Mr.. Earle (Dem.

THE GOVERNOR GIVES IN.
Young John Atkinson and His Juvenile
Wife Receive Forgiveness.


Wife Receive Forgiveness.
Atlanta, April Cupid now rules in
triumph over the executive mansion of
Georgia. Mr. and Mrs. John p. Atkin-
son have been formally recognized by
the governor and his wife
The romance of the young son of
Governor Atkinson, who passed his six
teenth year only one month ago, and of
Miss Ada Byrd, the 14-year-old daughter
of the publisher. Charles =. Byrd, is an
interesting one. When William Atkinson
came to Atlanta as governor two years
ago. he brought with him an interesting
family. the oldest of whom, John p.
Atkinson was then but l5 a curly head
ed little Adonis. with blue eyes
It was no wonder that the l2-year-Old
daughter of a neighbor dropped her dolls
i'm admiration as she looked upon this
youth AT first il was romp and play,
rolling hoops upon the sidewalks Of
Peachtice and later of hanging over the
garden gate.
A month ago Governor Atkinson was
called from his worship at a Sam Jones
meeting and told that his son was try
ing to elope with the bright young girl
who had turned her fourteenth yeat.
He at once took steps TO end the ro-
nance. In this he was aided by the
| girls father. who packed her Oft to a
country school.
But. as already told in these dis
patches. the plans of the stern parents
/ failed. for on Wednesday last the young
people eloped and were married.
AT first Governor Atkinson was Ceter-
mined to have the marriage declared
null and void. but it occurred TO Mr..
Byrd that he would have the worst of
It in that case.
"The honor Of my daughter" said he
lis at stake l did all l could TO prevent
| the marriage / co-operated with the
| governor In every respect but now that
have exhausted every effort by hid
ing out my daughter In school, where
I thought she would be safe. and the
governors sen has pursued her there
and led her into this ENHANCEMENT
cannot consent 10 anything but that
the marriage shall be fully recognized
Governor Atkinson soon came to Mr.
Byrds way OF thinking. His only sup-
ulatlon was that Mrs. Atkinson, Jr.
should spend another year at boarding
school.
"Arter aW." said he. 'it is best to love

ADVICE ON
GAS MATTER RS.

If your light is poor there is
something locally wrong, as your
gas is the same as is supplied to any
other customer.
If your burners spread the light
like the fingers of hand, they
should be cleaned ont or replaced;
cleaners furnished without charge.
If you have old-fashioned shades
with small openings at the bottom
you should change them az once to
get best results from your gas.
If yoor Walsbach lights are not
as good as they were formerly, they
probably need new mantles or other
attention. -'.-'.,..- 49,
If your stoves do not give out
heat as formerly, the openings may
want cleaning out.
Architects should plan for lib
eral-sized gas pipes in all houses,
even if other illumination is contem-
plated.
Large gas pipes should be put in
all houses, because gas is used in
more rooms than was formerly the
custom, and because heating and
cooking stoves are largely used now
and are mostly placed at the far
thest distance from the meter and
need a full flow Of gas.
Builders and owners Of new
houses should see that gas pipes are
put in every house, because pur-
chasers or renters will expect to
have the advantage Of competition
in illumination, even if they do not
want to use gas at present.
Houses viii sell better or rent
better if they have gas pipes in
them.
Gas consumers should watch their
own meters so as to be satisfied with
their bills meters are SO simple that
any intelligent person can read them
and thus know the cost Of their gas
as time passes.
Housekeepers should admit no one
to their houses on the pretense Of
being sent from the Gas Office un
less the applicant is personally
known or can show the silver badg'
and the lettered cap Of company.
All houses should have an outsid
light burning all night to illuminate
their side and back buildings, an,
should also keep some lights burn
ing all night in rooms and halls t
keep off burglars it is far better Z
use a few thousand extra feet Of ga
each year than to have the hous
robbed once.
Dollar gas makes the cheapes
best and safest light, and the mos
convenient fuel yet produced. 4
Now is the time to order Cookin
Ranges for Summer; ample he
water for family bathing can I
supple with them, while the ten
perature of the kitchen is bearabl
md the remainder Of the house lei
cool and comfortable.
For further advice or informatlo
lpply at Gas Office, S27 Mark,
street, where Sample Lights, stove
