fashionable cafes. every place wher
men and money and those DESTROYS OF
having il conGregate-still resound with
the name OF the American financier.
The cause OF the fresh outbreak is the
belief thar Mr.. Morgan is planning a
financial scheme far more far-reaching
than anything he mas yet achieved.
Runor has il that he is considering
the unification Of the Turkish debt.
No one here can speak with authority.
but il is certain that Mr.. Morgan has
received long and important commune
cations over the amount involved in
this most nomentous undertaking. be-
cause lie who unities this debt will hold
Turkey il the hollow Of his hand. The
sultan knows this. hence he will not
treat with ,i4e neutsch bank. the Credit
Lvonnaise or the Societe Generate
He thinks safer hands are those OF the
Az orleans. whose country can have no

The German emperor is good friend

tie matter with tie sultan.

will travel up the east side Of the Iu-
kon TO Five Fingers or vicinity. then

get into White Horse by avoiding the
dangerous and heavy old cutoff and the
treacherous and late-closing and late
opening Lake Lebarge by going through

Three times today the freight hand

managers. and three times they came
back without results. The first call
was made without giving warming 10
the managers. and when the committees
arrived they were unable 10 find any OF

were having meeting OF their OWN and
were not at their offices. The second
call produced more effect. as several OF
the committees saw the managers, but
nothing definite resulted.
The strike reached the riotinc stage

ANDeRSON'S VERSION.
The General States His Views of
Manila's Surrender.

Chicago, July l+.-General Thomas
Anderson has addressed 70 the
Record Herald letter giving his YER
sion Of the surrender Of Manila. in
which he differs materially from the
statements made by Admiral Dewey.
General Anderson denies that Manila
was surrendered as the result OF an III
derxtanding between Dewey and the
Spanish commander, and points GU,
that American troops suffered lo22 cas-
ual,fes. The general covers the dispur-
ed points OF the case ana contends Tor
the justification Of his actions and
views in the light Of recent events.
War department authorities and Ad-
miral Dewey refuse 10 discuss General
Anderson's letter and the matter will
probably be allowed 10 drop.
