A BITTER FEELING.
RAIDERS blame the Greek Govern.
ment for NOn-SuppOrt.

RAIDERS Blame the Greek Govern
ment for NOn-SuppOrt.
London, April 15.-The Athens cores
pendent of the Times will say tomorrow:
The failure of the first raid has deep
ened the general evaporation and led
to much angry recriminations. The
Ethnike Hetaria blames the government
and the latter blames the brotherhood.
1t is quite evident that the Ethnike He
tara expected to be supported by the
regular troops and the outbreak of a war
thus precipitated.
Several of the newspapers indulge in
a similar bitter recrimination and all au-
thorities declare there is a want of con-
fidence between the court and the gov
eminent. The Greek nation knows what
it wants, but its rulers are wavering and
undecided. The nation is asking how it
was possible that the Greeks were sur
rounded and compelled to retreat with
out being assisted by the Greek army.
"A pessimistic tone is becoming more
and more noticeable, but the clamor for
war does not diminish. AS yet, there
are no reliable statements made as to
the exact loss sustained by the invaders,
but learn from an excellent source that
it exceeded 200. One newspaper says
that only half of the main body returned,
the remainder being either killed or scat
tered through the mountains.

PRESBYTERIAN UNITY.
A Meeting Being Held in Chicago to
Unite All in Closer Harmony,

Chicago, April 15.-Many distinguished
Presbyterian ministers were in session in
Chicago today TO consider methods of
bringing the various Presbyterian
church organizations of the world into
closer harmony.
These men are members of the west
ern section Of the executive committee of
the Alliance of Reformed Churches
throughout the world. holding the Pres
byterian system. They come from many
sections of the United States and Canada
and represent a variety of Presbyterian
bodies. The sessions will not be open
to the public.
The executive committee will try to
carry out the plans laid down by the
general Presbyterian council that met
in Glasgow last June with delegates from
all parts of the world The object of
this worldwide alliance is to unity the
different branches of Presbyterianism as
much as possible. There Is no attempt
to interfere with complete autonomy of
each body. The judicial and admins
tratiye work of each is distinct. An eff
fort is being made to have the various
bodies cooperate in home and foreign mis-
sionary work, Sunday school work and
other features of religious work that are
common to all of them. All missionary
work in Brazil and Japan has already
been unified. Progress has also been
made toward consolidation in India.
where n dozen different Presbyterian
bodies are working individually, In
many small places in American Presby-
terrain missions have been consolidated

In Honor of Oueen Viz

washington, April 15.-The governor
OF Florida has notified the secretary of
the navy that the citizens of Tampa are
preparing for an extensive celebration of
Queen Victoria's birthday on the 24th
of next month. The British government,
as a mark of appreciation of the spirit
of the occasion, will send war shin.
one of the British North Atlantic SQUAD
ron, to Tampa, and the governor asks
that the navy department detail n
United States man-of-war to assist in
the celebration. Secretary Long has
promised to do so if consistent with the
needs of the service, and it is probable
that the Montgomery, now on patrol duty
'off the Florida coast, will be at Tampa
during the ceremonies.

The Cuban Tobacco Question.

Havana, April 15.-La Lucia, COM
menting cditorially today upon the UNI
favorable impression produced in Cuba
by the changes proposed in the conduct
of the leaf tobacco industry and by the
order of the Madrid government allowing
the shipment under the new conditions,
says that the issue raised is the most
serious problem which has come up since
the war began. 1t urges calmness upon
the part of Cuba and bids them rely upon
the good sense of the Madrid government
and the honor of President Mckinley,
who, recognizing the falseness of the
claims, will see that justice is done.
The receipt of the news has caused
great sensation among the wOrkmen,
and protests have been made by the
Manufacturers union and the chamber
of commerce, the latter asserting that
serious injuries will follow the manu-
facturers regarding the tobacco industry
in Cuba and thousands of workmen.

CHARGED THE grand JURY.
CIRCUIT JUDGE AT FRANKFORT
CREATED SURPRISE AMONG
THE sOLONs.
M0ST Be PROBED 70 THE BOTTOM
And No FavOritism to BE shown.
The Legislature Seems still
HOpelessly Deadlocked-Hun-
ter Lacks Two Votes.

Frankfort, KY, April 15.-The gold
democrats held no caucus tonight and the
program for senatorial ballots tomorrow
is the same as that of the past two days.
Hunters chief lieutenants said to the
Associated Press representative that the
doctor had no idea of ever withdrawing
that he might do so if it was requested
or suggested by the administration, but
intimated that they had the best of rea-
sons for believing that no request or sug-
gestion would come.
Blackburn's forces are confident that
the deadlock will last if Hunter remains
on the track, as the gold men are prac-
tically committed to vote against him
and the Blackburn people will go so far
as to lend him encouragement rather
than see him quit the track and ruin
their plans for no election until next
winter.
The grand jury adjourned again to-
night without making any report, but
were very busy all day after the sensa
tiona charge given them by Judge Cant
trell.
Judge Cantrell called the grand Jurors
into open court and instructed them as
to their duty in the case before them
He said he regretted that the matter
came up before the adjournment of the
legislature and felt that it was the duty
of the legislature to wash it's own dirty
linen, but having attempted investiga
ton, it was their duty to probe to the
bottom, "and in so doing command you
to not show any favoritism."
This unusual step on the part of ,
circuit judge was received with surpris,
by both republicans and democrats alike
The first ballot resulted as follows:
Hunter, So; Blackburn. 43; Martin, 10
Boyle, 6; Stone, 1, leaving Hunter still
two votes short of an election.

stock Exchange Review.


New York, April 16.-Bradstreet' to-
morrow will say of the weeks business on
the stock exchange:
Interest in the market for the past
week has depended entirely on profess
sional manipulation in few stocks, prin-
cipally in American Sugar and Chicago
Gas. Two important Occurrences-the
announcement of the New York Central
refunding plan and the closing of the deaf
by which the Morgan interests assume
control of the Lehigh Valley-stimulated
the market temporarily, but had no per.
manent effect. Public interest is ut
standstill and one disadvantage here, a
circumstance which the spectators have
bad to contend with, was the renewed
bearishness Of London. resulting in heavy
selling from that quarter at the end OF
the week. This was partly due to the
nervousness of operators in lie foreignn
markets in view Of the extended Naster
holiday recess which is taken there, and
about the eastern situation. The weak
ness Of Kafiir mining stocks and reports
that prominent operators in that field
have become involved also influenced
London end indirectly had bad effect
here. Commission brokers were Idle,
and transactions, for the most part, rep
resent the activity of board room traders
or of a few leading manipulatOrs. The
market closed weak on Thursday even
Friday recess of the stock cxchange) with
London, as already described, consid--
cradle seller.
New York Central was strong early iir
the week on the expectation of the re-
funding plan. The other Vanderbilt
shares were comparatively quiet, but
firm. One of the features of the week.
was the heavy selling in new Reading
common, the price of which dropped from
20 to IL 34. 1t was understood that
long stock came out and that holders
who acquired the new shares in exchange
for the. old preference income bonds were
generally disposed to liquidate. 1t was
noticeable that the new Reading preferred
stocks were comparatively firm. New
Jersey has been much less Of a specu-
latiye feature. Support appeared in all
the coal stocks concurrently with the an
nouncement that the papers transferring
control of the Lehigh Valley to the
Messrs. Drexel Il Co., had been executed,
and that Mr.. Morgan is expected to place
new Lehigh loan in London.
Chicago Gas was extremely active. 1t
was supported by the inside party and adj
vanced to SO 3-S on limitations that the
law permitting the companies to con-
solidate is certain to pass the Illinois
Legislature. This was followed by de-
cided bear raid, based on the introductiop
of measure to reduce the price of gas
consumed by the municipality Of Chicago
to go cents per 1000 feet. The general
impression created by this was that Of
speculative manipulation, and If the stock
had hold down to 7S on it, renewed inside
support appeared, carrying it back to
81 3-8c. Sugar was the early leading
feature of the week. Its position and
that of the inside party has been very
uncertain and the course of the stock cor
respondingly erratic. The early indus
trials were active.

THE PEACE TREATY,
Objections Prevented n Time for a
Vote Being Set,

Washington, April 15.-In accordance
with the previous notice, Senator Davis
promptly moved an executive session of
the senate after the disposal of the rou-
tine morning business for the purpose of
taking up the Anglo-American arbitration
treaty. Senator Davis endeavored to Sc
cure unanimous agreement upon the time
to take vote on the treaty as a whole.
but in. this he did not succeed, owing to
objections from several senators, includ-
ing Messrs. Carter, Morgan and Mills.
The directors stated they had no purpose
to unduly delay final action, and when the
executive session was concluded, after
continuing about an hour and a half,
there was an understanding that Senator
DAVIS would renew his request on next
Monday and that then there probably
would be no objection to fixing the date.

He Wishes to Place Gems. Palma and
Quesada Behind the Bars.
Philadelphia, Pa, April ia private
meeting of Cubans and Cuban sympa-
thizers was held in the city tonight, at
which it was decided to take steps to
Illustrate what the Cubans claim is the
real object of Maj. Sandoval's visit to
the city. This is said to be the arrest
of no less personages than the members
of the Cuban junta in this country. It
has been stated that Maj. Sandoval
came to Philadelphia to purchase NUM-
tions of war to be shipped in the regu-
lar way to Gen. Weyler in Cuba. Lead
ing Cubans here, however, assert that
it is to gather information that will cul-
inmate in the arrest of Gen. Estrada
Palma at New York and Gen. Quesada
at Washington. The former is the min
lister of the so-called Cuban republic and
the other charge d'affairs at the capital.
1t is stated that Maj. SandOval has been
commissioned by Gen. Weyler for this
express purpose, and is known to have
in his possession documents found on the
steamer Laurada on one of her recent
trips to Cuba, showing the part played
by Gems. Palma and Quesada in her
movement Should the arrest of the jun
ia leaders result and the issue be made
in court as to the liability of such a
body, there will be question of juris-
diction that will not only involve the in
terstate commerce laws but also the
questions of belligercncy and the comfy
of nations,

WHY CHIMAY DID NOT APPEAR.
Cancelled Her Music Hall Engage
ment Through Fear of Police.

London, Aproil ia special dispatch
from Paris says that Princess de Chimay,
formerly Miss Clara Ward of Detroit,
Mich, recently divorced by her husband
on the ground of her intimacy with Janos
Rigo, Hungarian gypsy musician, was
only induced to renOunce her debut at
the music hall there today after an inter
view with the project of police in Paris,
who threatened to close the hall and expel
her from France if she carried out her
intentions of appearing on the stage in
public. The princess is reported to have
gone to the south of France. 1t is said
the projects action was due to the in
fluence of Prince de Chimay and several
members of the Jockey club. In addi-
ton, the police learned that the friends
of the prince intended to create a scandal
in the music hall by polluting her with
rotten eggs and rabbits and perhaps in
wade the stage and administer physical
correction.

Turkish Ministry Hard ut work.

days past the ministerial council has
been in session at the Yildiz Kiosk. Ac-
cording to one report, the ministers have
failed to arrive at any decision, but an
other account says the council has agreed

of an outbreak of hostilities between
Greece and Turkey and that the minis
tiers also decided that if fresh from
tier incident occurred, Edhem Pasha.
the Turkish commander-in-chief, is to as

basis of Cretan autonomy.
