ALBANIA is QUIET.
A Semi State of Settlement Believed in
by the People.

London, April ia dispatch to the
European Turkey, states that in an inter
view Hilmi Pasha. the Turkish inspector
general. said that the Albanian question
has been settled. and that the Porte has
no further anxiety concerning it. The
disturbance was caused by small and
ignorant faction, and the revolt had been
in no way general. The 10000 troops
now massed around MitroVitZa would in
any case overawe the indictments
Hilmi Pasha added that he expected Sc
rious difficulties with the Bulgarian
bands. whose activity was being only tenn
porarily checked by the recent: bad
weather but the Turks were quite ready
to receive them. .--i'''~- =
Hilmi Pasha was diffident about discuss
ing the Austrian and Russian reforms.
but said they were progressing. He hoped
to be able to give proof of this in three
months. 49,, u. - ~ !, -. So, =.
The correspondent adds that local opin-
ion In diplomatic and other circles does
not bear out the statements of Hilmi
Pasha. who is regarded as capable and
we'll meaning but as being by far too
optimistic.
The -Albanians are reported to have
formed "missa.' that is, to have tenn
porarily abandoned all vendettas and in
tertrihal quarrels, for the purpose of re-
sisting the reform program. The Sultan's
peace mission is a farce, and the only
possible solution of the trouble is com
plete disarmament and the military oc-
cupation of Albania. The weather is now
fine and warm, and the Bulgarian bands
are consequently expected to commence
active operations.

DEFECTS IN THE MAINE,
Navy Department Will See That They
Are Corrected.

Washington, April 16.-While denying
that the battleshiD Maine has deyel-
oped the slightest structural weakness,
using the term structural in it's tech
nical sense. high officials at the navy
department are not disposed to mini
miZe the defects in the Maine as re-
ported by Capt. Leutze and other Of
ficers of the vessel. The report of the
chief engineer regarding the boilers, it
is admitted. furnishes ground for great
err concern than the matter of gun
foundations.
Assistant Secretary Darling will go
to the CramD ship yards next week and
with Chief Constructor Bowes will
make careful inspection of the YES
sci. If it be found that the boilers are
failure he department will recon-
mend that they be replaced, but a
board of officers will be appointed to
look into the question before such n
radical step is taken.

London, April 16.-Sir Charles Rivers
Wilson. president of the Grand Trunk
Railway. of Canada, presiding at a
crowded meeting of the shareholders,
today. said the financial results of the
past half year had been entirely salts
factory except the abnormal increase
in the working expense due to the
American coal strike. which had near
lyi doubled the company's fuel bill, and
the increase of 100000 in the pay roll,
besides the considerable amount ex-
pended on new buildings, which was
imperative to cope with the increasing
business of the road.
President Wilson also referred to the
Importance of the project in the extern

which would give an adequate share of

THE DIFFERENCE?
Continued from page ~

are represented by more than $l2,-
000,000 of Metropolitan stock issued in
1897 for the requirement of d part of
the stock and bonds held at present
as investments, and by the cash pro-
cee:ls of other shares of stock devoted
To the purchase of such investments
1.-The total of such stock issued is
about $20000,0e0 face value, on which
the company is paying Z per cent. divi-
dends, or at the rate of $1,400,000 a
year. But the company's income from
these investments, as it's own annual
reports prove, is but about 100000 Il
year. In other words the company is
paying out annually $1,4OOGO0 to re-
ceive in return $4,000
NO one could possibly doubt, after
consideration of these and other per-
tinents facts bearing upon the subject
that the coTpany's investments ac
count has been manipulated to the adj
vantage of some person or persons, for
it is clear that if the company is los
ing over 81 ,0Hc, 900 annually through
these Investments, some one is neces-
sarily profiting to an equal extent
Mr.. Philbin contends that entries in
the companyS reports of $4,000 in 1900
and $2,035,000 in 1901, paid by lesser
companies" are pretended. He said
none of the lesser companies We're OBJ
iiged to pay the Metropolitan any sum
of cash account additions and better
ments on leased lines.
In conclusion he says calculations
and estimates CLEARLY indicate that
the Metropolitan Co. has claimed for
1902 an expenditure of cash for change
Of motive power, exceeding by more
than $G,n00,0O0 the true cost thereof"

Brooklyn, said Miss Williams, who is
described in the warrant Of arrest as

ed, Feb. 8, last from the employ of Mr.

jewels.
She was traced to Liverpool. whence
she sailed for this country, Feb. IL, on
Il White Star Line steamship.

STILL HAS HER RIGHTS.
Bankruptcy Discharge Doesn't Kill
Liability to Divorced Wife.

Washington, April 16.-Argument was
heard, today by the United States SUI
preme court in the case Of Horace P.
Dunbar vs. Lottle E. Dunbar. The
couple were formerly man and wife and
resided in massachusetts,. They were
divorced in 1899 Mr.. Dunbar agreeing
to pay to his wife a certain amount in
alimony and also to pay certain
amount for the maintenance of an in
FAINT son.
In 1893 Dunbar was judicially pro-
nounced a bankrupt. He there after
failed to pay. the allowance either to
the mother or the son, alleging that the
discharge in bankruptcy had relieved
him of this necessity. Mrs. Dunbar
brought suit in the municipal court of
Boston to recover the sum due.
That court decided the case favorably
to the husband but the supreme judi
cial court Of the state reversed this de-
cision, holding that the husbands dis
charge in bankruptcy was not bar
to either branch of the wife's claim.
