culture has been officially Informed that
Or. Doyen has successfully completed

STEAMBOAT Devastated by Flames and
100000 Made Homeless.

Constantinople. Aug. "A good idea OF
tho extent of the recent terrible fires at

that it takes about two hours TO drive
round the devastated area. The outbreak
was more serious than any that has oc-

The general misery and Indebtedness arc

municipal and medical authorities are ap-

ESPRIT DE CORPS GONE WRONG
Russian Minister of Marine Issues
Order in Regard to Gambling.

~. Petersburg, Aug 3-The Minister Of
Marine has issued a general order 10 the

officers unworthy their posts in case juniors
are found handling public moneys with the
accommodating slackness which prevails in
the Russian navy. 1t is not so much that

Rome. Aug. 3-Although greater disas-

Viterbo, Italy, Aug. 12.--Alessandro
Lioy, the attorney for the defence. who has
been accused of unprofessional conduct by
the prosecution and rebuked by the court

object Of an unfriendly demonstration at
to-day's proceedings in the Camorra trial.

rists. wishing TO divert suspicion from
themselves, caused the priest Vitozzi false
" to denounce De Angels and Gaetano
Amedeo as the murderers Of Gennaro Quo
colo and Signora Cuocolo. his is the
story sworn 10 by Grimaldi: A woman
named Anastasi was the common law wife
of De Angels. The two quarrelled and
separated. The woman subsequently gained
an influence over the witness and induced
him 10 1oin her in denouncing De Angels
as the murderer Of the Cuocolos in order
that she might have revenge on her former
companion.
Lioy provided them with money as q re-
ward for their accusation. Later Grimaldl
became frightened at what he had done and
said that he was going TO confess. Lioy
then threatened him. saying that II he re-
tracted Ehis lying statements the lawyer
would have him condemned for fraud In
receiving money under false pretences.
Nevertheless, Grimaldi said that he had de-
cided to come to court and tell the truth.
Lioy appeared crushed by the revelations
Of the witness and was Kissed by the spec
tators. 1t was expected that he would
forthwith withdraw from the case. but in
stead he roso from his seat and harangued
the audience. he said that he hoped that
justice and history would judge him, and
declared that he was a second Dreyfus.
At this assertion the spectators howled.

GROUSE SHOOTING BEGINS
Slams Are at Hand of Its Decline
as Fashionable Sport.
KING GEORGE IN YORKSHIRE
Most Smart People Content to
Wait Until Pheasant Coverts
Are Stocked.

London, Aug. 12-NeWspapers this
morning, from force Of habit. have holl-
day articles on the Glorious Twelfth,
but there are unmistakable signs OF the
decline Of grouse shooting as a fashion
able sport. The dry rot of economy Is
more destructive than frost drcuth or
bird diseases i'm restricting entertaining
in the Highlands and in Yorkshire. Holi-
days nowadays are passed on the golf
courses and on the Continent, and shoot
ing during August has become the pas
time of few large landowners.
King George lends prestige to it by
opening the season with some crack
shots on the Marquis of Ripons moors
in Yorkshire, but many Of the best
shootings have gone begging, and most
smart people are content to wait until
the pheasant covers are stocked next
month before talking about guns.
Railway bookings for Yorkshire and
Perthshlrc. however, have been heavy,
and special trains have been ordered Tor
country house parties. but, notwithstan nd
men northward is less noticeable than
usual. Grouse drives and deer stalking
with entertaining on q large scale are
forms Of sport reserved for the wealth
Jest people in tine kingdom, reinforced
by a few American milionaires.
There is promise of sport both on the
English and Scottish moors which will
exceed considerably the average Of the
last ten years.
The reason of the excellent outlook is
TO be found In the fine, dry weather. The
birds nested and hatched out under good
conditions. Earlier fears Of havoc among
them arising from the drouth have been
dispelled in all but very few neighbor-
hoods by some timely showers. Almost
everywhere grouse are plentiful, well
forward on the wing and healthy.
