Turkey Very Slow in Meeting British
Demands,

COnstantinOple, May 1G.-The sui.
tan's complete submission to the An
glo-Egyptian demand was only given
some hours after the expiration of the
British ultimatum and it was not till
noon Monday that Ambassador O'Con-
nor was in position to notify the
British government that it's demands
were completely accepted. The word
"delimitation," which the sultan con-
sidered implied the existence of a
frontier, whereas he maintains that
Egypt is part of Turkey, nearly
wrecked the negotiations. Numerous
notes with the necessary trades were
drawn up on Sunday evening and
communicated to the British embassy:
only to be rejected and returned to
the Turkish government. Finally,
shortly before the expiration of the
lltimatum, the British ambassador
brought matters to a climax by per-
sonal visits to Tewfik Pasha, the for
eign minister, and the grand viZier, to
whom he impaired the designs of the
British government in the event of
ish government to a realization of it's
perilous position. In view of the as
surances of these ministers the am
bassador consented to twelve hours
further grace and in the early hours of
Monday morning a special meeting of
the council Of ministers was sum-
moned at the Yildiz palace and the
sultan consented to the acceptance of
all Of the British demands. The ar
rival at Constantinople of the British
vessel ImOgene doubtless helped to
convince the Turkish government, as
it was presumed she came to take
away the ambassador in the event Of a
failure of the negotiations.

relaxation and that in the latter part
OF June, by which time he hoped his

VERDICT IN HERESY TRIAL
REV. cRAPsEY SUSPENDED FROM
MINISTRY BUT is GIVEN
TIME TO REcANT.

Rochester, N. Y, May 16.-The YER
dict In the heresy trial of Rev. DR..
Algernon s. Crapsey has been deliv-
cred to the accused minister. Four Of
the Jurors state that in their opinion
sentence should be passed as follows:
That the respondent should be sus-
pended from exercising the functions
Of the church until such time as he
shall satisfy the ecclesiastical authori-
ties Of the diocese that his belief and
teaching conform to the doctrines of
the Apostles creed and the Nicene
creed as this church hath received the
same. However, we express the ear
nest hope and desire that the respond
ent may see his way clearly during the
thirty days that under the canons of
the church must intervene before SEN
.tence pc pronounced to the full salts
faction of the ecclesiastical authorities
of such conformity on his part"
The fcharges- against Dr. Crapsey
grew ont of series of sermons deliv-
cred by him while he was rector Of st.
Andrews church at Rochester and
which he subsequently published in
book form under the title Religion
and. Politics. In brief the charges de
clare that DR.. Crapsey in these writ
ings denies the doctrines of the divin-
ity OF Christ, His virgin birth, His
resurrection and tie doctrine of the
trinity, as contained in the Apostles
and Nicene creeds and the Book of
Common Prayer OF tie Protestant
Episcopal church.

Amendment to Increase Size Of Inter.
state Commission.
Washington, May 16.-Ths senate
began it's consideration of the railroad
rate bill by taking up Senator Lodges
amendme ent providing for the increase
of the interstate commerce commits
sion to nine members and requiring
that one be appointed from each Of
the judicial circuits of the country.
Senator Hopkins opposed the amend
ment on the ground that it would de.
prive the commission of it's national
character. The senator from Massa-
chusetts and the senator from Maine
(Mr. Iiale) seek to inject sectionalism
into the work of the commission" he
said. He also opposed the enlarge
ment of the commission.
Mr.. Hopkins also found fault with
the proposed increase of salary for the
members of the commission. 'We are
running mad in our efforts to increase
salaries Of officials" he declared.
The amendment received the hearty
endorsement of Senator Martin, who
especially commended the propositions
to increase salaries, increase the size
Of the commission and distribute the
members throughout the country
Senator Elkins advocated the reten-
ton of the house provision, taking the
position that a small commission
would be more efficient than a large
one. He also opposed the move to leg
islate the present commissioners out
of Office, saying that they had rendered
unexceptional service and that their
continued service would be most val
liable.
After further debate Senator Nelson
moved to lay the pending amendment
on the table. This was carried by a
viva voce vote, taking the Lodge

ments with it; ..~....

Fire in Hold Of Ward Line Steamer
-. FL VigiIancia.
Havana, May 16.-The Ward line
steamer Vigilancia, which was report
ed from Cape Lookout May IL to be on
fire, reached this port from New York
one day late. The delay in her arrival
was caused by the precaution in keep
ing her near the shore during the fire,
which was under control on Saturday
evening and which it appears was
chiefly confined to the ships stores in
the forward part of the vessel, all of
which were practically consumed. Her
cargo also was badly damaged by
flooding the holds with water. The loss
is not known and will not be ascer-
tanned until the report of the board Of
survey appointed by the American vice
consul is made public.

made to Governor Broward to offer a
reward.

Shenandoah, Pa, May Is. Seven
miners were torn to PIECES and twelve
badly burned by an explosion of dyna-
mite in the Shenandoah City colliery
of the Philadelphia and Reading Coal
and Iron company during the day.
A box of dynamite which a workman
was carrying fell from his shoulder
and caused the explosion, which ig-
nited the mine gas There were about
fifty men at work in the east gang
way of the shaft when the explosion
occurred, but so far as known all es-
capped except those working on the
first lift. In this part Of the shaft none
escaped either death or injury.
All the men killed were mutilated
beyond recognition.
The force of the concussion was ter
rife Doors were torn off and brat
tices were wrecked, every section of
the mine feeling the effect of the
shock. =
The, work Of rescue was begun at
once under the supervision of Mine
Inspectors Lamb and Wilson, Division
Superintendent Pollard and all the dis
trict superintendent.
The absence of the deadly black
damp made the work of rescue less
hazardous than in accidents of this
character.
The force Of the explosion was felt

friends and relatives of the entombed
miners rushed to the mouth of the
shaft. So great was the crush that it
was necessary to call on the coal and

All of the killed and injured were
foreigners. But little damage was
done to the mine.
