April l, 1902, of $66S,5O1. The debt is
recapitulated as follows: Interest

which interest has ceased since ma
turity, $1,230,050; debt bearing no in
terest, 1886, 490,165; total, $1,312,261,.
sos. This amount, however, does not
include SS95,9 500 in certificates and

Blew Up the Bank.

The Ottoman bank at Salonica, ElI.
ropean Turkey, was destroyed by dy-
Mantle recently. The Turkish postof.
fee and other buildings were also at
tackled, resulting in a panic, during
which two men were killed and two
persons injured. A detachment Of 1000
additional troops has since arrived
here from Smyrna.
The attack on the bank was carried
out by two bands Of men. One OF
them attacked the guard on duty at the
bank and the other hurled the bombs
1t is thought that the strong room re-
sisted the explosion. Several of the
men who took part in the attack have
been arrested.
In addition to the two bands which
attacked the bank, a number of meH
rushed through the principal streets OF
the city throwing bombs into this
cafes. Afterward a bomb was thrown
into the railway station and some 10
comotives were damaged
Steamer Destroyed by Bomb.
The destruction of the French steam

leaving this port was evidently caused
by bomb. A Bulgarian has been ar
rested in connection with the outrage

A number of pastors from this neigh

AS soon as the president saw them
ne drew them into his pew and during

Denver, May 4.-Everything was ia

city at 1890 Monday morning. Two
and a half hours was spent here AMI
ed an address at the state capitol and

Paris, May "a dispatch from Sa-
lonica says the police in their search
for prisoners suspected of being con-
cerned in the outrages discovered that
the revolitionists had mined the prin-
olpal districts of the town with the in
tentiol Of blowing them up simultane-
ously but circumstances forced them
to act before IL cir preparations had
been COM leted and the planned dis
aster was averted.
The Turkish population, however, Is
dar serously intlamed. 1t is estimated
that 300 persons are dead as the re-
suit of the outbreak. One thousand
arrests have been made.

FEARS AT FRANK, N. W. T.
Another Slide Is Expected-People
Move.

Frank, N. W. T.. May A. Opinions
are divided among the handful of peo-
pie left n Frank as to whether al
other rock slide is probable. Chief
Engineer McHenry Of the Canadian
Pacific announces that from observa-
tons taken at Turtle mountain an
other slide on the eastern side was
possible. There is yet no marked in
dications of another slide. There is
no excitement over these conjectures,
although i. a new slide should occur
j. would probably complete the de.
struction of Frank. Practically only
those remain in Frank who are de-
other duties.
All who desired were taken from
Frank to adjacent towns by special
train chartered by the government.
Mr.. McHenry is engineer of the entire
system Of the Canadian Pacific, and
was formerly chief engineer of the
Great Northern. He is considered an
engineer /, great ability and his warn
ings will have great weight. Many
believe that even if there should be
no further rock slides, the fear of such
a recurrence will prevent further op-
erations a, the foot of Turtle noun
tair and lay result in the abandon
ment of Frank as town. This would
mean great loss the invested interests
being estirated at 100000. The mine
was well equipped and the company
had built cottages and buildings on u
superior plan. It is doubtful If men
can be induced to live in them, at least

RAN INTO EXCURS|0N|STS
THE FLYER KILLS TWELVE PEG.
PIE AT DETROIT, MICH.
The Dead and Wounded Are Mostly
Polish People From Toled Ohio
They Were Waiting for Train in
the Evening When Train Comes
From the Other Way.

Detroit, May "a day of merry
making and celebration by 1900 Polish
excursionists from Toledo was brought
to a close by frightful catastrophe
at the corner of Garfield and De
ouindre streets at $50 O'Clock 1T
night, in which at least seven were
killed. The excursion was given by
the Polish Lancers of Toledo over the
Lake Shore railroad. The excursion
lists left the train at the corner of
Garfield and Dequindre streets IN the
morning, and were greeted by mum
Der of local Poles and Polish societies,
who escorted the visitors to st.
Josephat's church. An entertainment
was held later at Harmonic hall.
About 8 o'clock the visitors began to
gather again at the corner of Garfield
and Dequindre streets to take their
train back to Toledo.
Both the Lake Shore and Grand
Trunk tracks run out from the Brush
street station on Dequindre street.
-Four policemen stood at the corner
of Garfield and endeavored to keep
the excursionists from crowding
through the gates onto the track. De-
spite their efforts, hundreds crawled
under or over the gates and walked
down the dark tracks to await the
arrival of their train, which could De
seen coming slowly from the station.
Probably 1000 persons were scattered
along the tracks for two blocks wait
ing to board the Lake Shore excur-
sion train and secure seats. 1t was
only a few blocks down the track,
creeping carefully along.
Suddenly from out of the darkness
came the Grand Trunk Chicago-New
York express, known as the Pan.
American Flyer. 1t plowed through
the mass of people, throwing them 10
both sides of the track, bruised and
manned, and grinding a number Of
them under the wheels. Patrolman
Fred Schultz, John Synda, a promin-
ent local Pole, and numbers Of others
who were at the crossing, assert that
the Flyers whistle was not blown nor
was the bell ringing. The Flyer was
checked and stopped as quickly as pos
sible and backed to the scene Of the
catastrophe, where Tor two blocks
the track was covered with mangled
and dying people. Four of the dead
were killed outright and the others
died after being taken to the hospitals.
The tracks are very dark below Can
field street. and lanterns had to be
brought into use to find the victims,
A neighboring coal office, several
houses and the gateman's shanty at
the crossing were made temporary
hospitals, and the wounded were car
ried into them until the ambulances
arrived a few moments later. Every
ambulance in the city was called 20
the scene, and the injured were soon
under the care of surgeons in the
hospitals.
