BRITISH LIMOGES RALLY.

ernment Hurrah,

ernment Hurrah.
London, July 11.-At the Guild Hall to-
day a meeting was held in support of
the governments war policy. 1t was a
great success from the Lingo" point of
view. The idea originated on the Stock
Exchange, and was intended as an off,
set to the recent pro-Boer catering at
Queens Hall. The Lord Mayor, Frank
Green, and the other city magnates, did
their utmost to assure it's success, and the
result was the great hall of the Guild
Hall, having a capacity of 1900 persons,
did not suffice to contain the crowd,
which necessitated an overflow meeting
outside, where the pro-war enthusiasts
made demonstration of an even more
pronounced character than that of the
stock brokers within.
The British generals were cheered and
the names of Henry Labouchere and
other Boer sympathizers were hissed and
hooted. The stock exchange was practi-
caly deserted for the meeting, the stock
brokers' marching in procession to the
Guild Hail. waving flags and singing SOL
diers of the King
The lord mayor presided, surrounded
by Conservative members of the House
OF Commons, bankers and others.
A resolution expressing complete con-
hdence in the South African policy of the
government and protesting against the at
tacks of the opposition, which were char
acterized as unpatriotic, was adopted in
the midst of wild scenes of enthusiasm.

TURKEY PAYS OUR CLAIM.
State Department VIII Distribute
Indemnity TO Claimants.

StAre department. VIII biStrtDute
Indemnity TO Claimants.
Washington, July lO.-The State De-
partment has received the amount of the
American Indemnity claim against Tur-
key, $685. 900. through the American legs-
tion at Constantinople.
AS is always the case the claims in the
aggregate considerably exceed the
amount of the indemnity actually paid.
but our government has expressed itself
satisfied with the payment. 1t assumes
full responsibility for the distribution.
the Turkish government leaving it to the
State Department to distribute the money
among the claimants at its discretion, and
after its own fashion.
These claims are principally based upon
losses sustained by American missionary
and educational institutions in Turkey.
notably those at. Harpoot and Marash
but there are a number of individual
claims, such for Instance as that of the
family of the unfortunate bicyclist Lenz,
the Pittsburg man, who was killed by
Turkish soldiers while attempting to go
around the globe on his wheel.
The State apartment officials feel the
greatest satisfaction at the settlement of
these claims. Secretary Hay had been
told by diplomats skilled i'm Oriental di-
plomacy, and in the political conditions
of Southern Europe. that he never would
be able to collect them. Not only was
there extreme difficulty In bringing any
pressure to bear because of the remote
ness of Turkey. but we had to contend
with the jealousy of the great European
Powers, most of whom had claims
against Turkey vastly larger in amount
than ours, and whose total was beyond
the ability of the Turkish government to
meet. For more than decade the
American claims have been pending.

FINANCIAL CRISIS IN RUSSIA.

Two Large Banks About to Fail and
General Collapse Likely.
London, July 1d-Mail advices received
here from Moscow report that two we'll
known banks are in the last extremities.
their paper being quoted at a third of
it's nominal value. 1t is added that the
failure of these banks will certainly re-
suit in the ruin of many commercial
houses.
There is general belief that num-
ber of shaky concerns are sure to col
lapse. A recent ukase from the ministry
of finance, instructing public companies
to lodge their surplus capital only with
the imperial or first class banks, is con-
sidered wise and necessary.

to Restore Order.
London, July 10.-It is reported that the
Russians are rapidly completing the Mar
churian Railway, and that they will en-
ploy $4,000 troops for the defense OF the
line.
LII Hung Chang proposes to withdraw
all the Chinese troops from Manchuria with
the object of avoiding all chances Of col
lision with the Russians. If this is done
Russian troops will be needed to pre-
serve order in the province, as only Chi
nese policemen will be employed there,
according to definition now given to the
Russo-Chinese agreement regarding Man
churia
1t is stated that the Chinese soldiers
have combined with bandits to plunder
the people and resist the Russians. 1t
appears that no control is exercised over
the Chinese soldiery there.

TO EXPEL mr.. HINSEY
CONDITION OF ENDOWMENT FUND
THE CAUSE.
THE BOOKS IN BAD SHAPE.
WILL INCREASE COST OF INSUR-
ANCE TO KNIGHTS.

The Order Almost 100000 Behind in
Death Claims, BESIDES Having
$500,OOO Assets in Bad Shape.
Rates of Insurance May he Raised
so Per Cent.-NO More One-Man
Management for the kniEhts-Hin-
sey's Explanations Didn't Go.
Chicago, July 10.-John A. Hinsey was
ordered tonight by the Supreme Lodge
of the knights of Pythias to appear be-
fore that body and show cause why he
should not be expelled.
This follows as direct result of the
alleged irregularities which the new man.
agement of the Endowment Rank has
found in the books under his twelve years
administration as president of the board
of control
The Supreme Lodge of the Knights of
Pythias adopted. by vote of 1870 to i,
the report of the supreme chancellor, with
all its criticisms of Mr.. Hinsey's man
agement and ordered it published as an
official record of the condition of the En-
dowment Rank.
Mr.. Hinsey the central figure in all the
trouble, talked three hours before the ST.
preme Lodge, but his explanations did
not satisfy his judges. All wanted his ex-
pulsion apparently, but many delegates
argued that the Supreme Lodge could not
eXpel a member without trial in the
constituted courts of the order. 1t took
until late tonight to decide this point.
A Bad Financial Showing.
Though s5O0OO0 assets are in bad condi-
ton, and though almost $4,000 behind
hand in the payment of death claims, the
Supreme Lodge does not propose that it
shall lose standing because of the trou-
bles that have been disclosed.
BY a unanimous vote of the lodge an
order has been made that in the future no
Investments shall be made save by the
written order of five out of the seven
members of the board of control of the
rank. This Will be formally adopted to-
morrow and no one-man management win
be possible in the future.
In addition to this a resolution is being
considered to raise the rates of payments
On insurance about so per cent, so that
more funds will be provided to meet death
claims and enough in addition to make
good the losses and create a surplus in
the future.
May Assess All knights.
If this additional burden on beneficial
ries of insurance policies shall not be
enough, the Supreme Lodge will also con-
slider a plan to assess all knights of Py-
tkias so cents or 81 each for the benefit
of the rank. The lower assessment on 600,-
600 members would bring in $250,0 900.
This money would not be paid directly
by the Pythians. but would come from the
900 of reserve cash and bonds held
by the grand lodges subject to the orders
of the Supreme Lodge The Supreme
Lodge has over $10,OOoOoO of property alto
gether and is responsible for all obliga-
tons of endowment rank.
