2 THE EVENING STAR, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 1895—TWENTY-FOUR PAGES. LATE NEWS BY WIRE Great Britain Yields to Turkey’s Protests. DRYAD ORDERED BACK 0 SALONICA The Sultan Wished to Be Spared Humiliation. ALULL IN THE STORM gees (Copyrighted, 1895, by the Associated Press.) CONSTANTINOPLE, November 29, via Bofla, Bulgaria, November 30.—After all the warlike talk of yesterday, the British am- bassador, Sir Philip Currie, has backed down and the sultan and his palace advisers are triumphant. The British gunboat Dryad has been ordered back to Salonica. Following the repeated threats of forcing the passage of the Dardanelles if the sul- tap persisted in refusing to allow the extra gunboats to enter the Bosphorus, this looks very much as if Abdul Hamid and his ad- visers were well informed in believing that the powers were not in accord. Said Pasha yesterday succeeded in get- ting the British ambassador to refer the Dryad matter to his government. ‘There was some ielay, as stated in these dispatches yesterday, in obtaining a reply from Lord Saiisbury, and this cauged a re- port to spread among the Turkish cflicials that Great Britain would not do anything calculated to hinder the efforts of the sul- tan to restore order and put in force-the re- forms add ated by the powers, and, there- fore, the Gemand for the extra guardshins would not be carried out. This seems to be the outward aspect of the recall of the Dryad; but behind all this Js th: t that it has been established that the palace people have been for some time pest exciting the Mussulman population here with hints that the demand of the powers for extra guardships meant nothing less than a naval demonstration before Constantinople, and that this would be an irsult to the sultan and to the Mussulmans throughout the world. This sly working gradually inflamed the fanaticism of the ‘Turks, and a serious outhreak was brewing here. The embassies were kept well informed of what was going on, and it is probably that knowledge which caused the govern- ment of Great Britain to instruct Sir Philip Currie to order back the Dryad. But it is claimed this dees not end the incideat, und it is only a temporary with- drawal, whi--h will be followed by the pow- ers’ insistence upon the observance of thetr tresty rights, whieh, they contend, allow them to have the extra guardskips. Even if this be true; il seems to show that the sultan_and his advisers have once more triumphed. There is another feature of the affair which is not lost sight of, and that 1s that the withdrawal of the Dryad may mean that the European concert {fs broken and that the jealous! of the powers have been lwo strong to allow of the joint action, even in the face of the tales of horrors and bloodshed, fire and famine, which have — daily from Asiatic Turkey for months past. An explanation of the backdewn is that after Sir Philip Currie yesterday received the reply from the Marquis of Salisbury he made a personal call upon the sultan. for two hours and a half Abdul Hamid ard the British ambassador remained in close conversation. ‘The situation was re- viewed. The sultan again called Sir Pnil- ip’s attention to the efforts he was mak- \ng to restore order, offered proof that the Work of reform was as fully inaugurated as circumstances would permit, promised that everytinug possible would be done to put down the uprising in Syria without un- necessary bloodshed, and referred to the danger of an outbreak at Constantinople and elsewhere if he was humiliated to the extent of having his power and authority corned in the eyes of the Mussulman world. Sir Philip Hstened to all the representa- tions of the sultan, backed by the state- ments of Said Pasha ard other ministers, and finally said he would order the Dryad Qway temporarily, though he strongly im- upon the mind ef the sultan that ther disturbances here which would n the lives of foreigners would be gnal for the enforcement of the treaty of ihe powers regarding the extra ips, even if Great Britain had to righ guard: act alone. There the matter seems to rest, but no- body here believes that it is anything more than a lull in the storm. ——_—_ WANTED TO LYNCH HIM. Attempt to Mob a Prisoner in the Streets of St. Lout: ST. LOUIS, Mo., November 30.—While Al- exander Royal, the negro who carved his mistress, Jessie Simms, to death with a buteher knife yesterday morning, was being taken from the coroner's office to the morgue to be sworn over the dead body of his victim today, a crowd of 500 wildly ex- cited negroes made an effort to take him from the police at the cerner of llth street and Clarke avenue, but reinforcements were quickly sent for and the mob was beaten off end dispersed. ‘The design of the crowd was to lynch the murderer. —-_ — ENCH DEPUTIES FIGHT.

The Work Suspended After Four Bodies Were Rescued. CARMEL, N. Y., November 30.—The work of recovering the bodies of the men killed in the iron mine at Tilly Foster yesterday afternoon was resumed today, and four bodies were brought up from the pit. This makes ten dead bodies recovered. The work ef recovery has ceased, as the men refuse to go into the pit until danger of further falling of rock is removed. A Good Templar Anniversary. Independent Lodge, No. 14, I. 0. G. T., disproved the old idea last night that thir- teen is an unlucky number by the great success of its thirteenth anniversary cele- bration. An interested audience enjoyed a semi-serious and humorous program, ren- dered as follows: Address of welcome, chief templar of the lodge; prayer, by the chaplain; instrumental trio, Wilson broth- ers and Bowers; recitation, Brother Mc- Cullum of Perseverance; duet, Brother and Sister Frear of Perseverance; address, A. N. Canfield, grand chief templar; piano solo, Mrs. Bayne; recitation, Brother Wil- kKirsen of Inaependent; instrumental solo, Mr. Bates; recitation and song, Mr. Bayne; vocal solo, Miss B. McElroy; vocal solo, L. Lawrence. After this program the audi- ence adjourned to the banquet hall and discussed the good things there provided. Many férmer members of the lodge were present and expressed their intention to again come into the ranks. To Petit Congress. At a meeting this afternoon of the Far- mers and Gardners’ Protective Association, as the produce dealers who have been or- dered by the District Commissioners to re- move from the shed on the south side of the Center Market will in future be known, @ petition to Congress asking that body to prevent the eviction of the farmers from their places at the market was adopted. ee agers Haste Makes Waste.

It is easily possible for a news- paper with an elastic conscience to swell its legitimate circulation enor- mously, in order to deceive adver- tisers, by sending out thousands of papers to newsstaads, which are re- turnable, and which are in fact re- turned, but nevertheless are in- cluded in what purports to be an honest statement of circulation. Intelligent advertisers, however, judge by results, and bogus circula- tions don't give them. The circulation of The Star Is many thousands in excess of any other Washington paper and is be- liéved to be fully five times that of any afternoon contemporary.

C. ys CONDUCT. — CAPTAIN BUB) Serious Charges ed at the Inerior Department. CHICAGO, November 30.—A special from Spokane, Wash., says: “Charges of a serious nature have -been filed with the Interior Department at W ‘ash- ington against Capt. John W. Bubb, the Indian agent, stationed at Fort Spokane, Ther are in reference to the troubles be- tween the white settlers and the Kalispell Indians, which, it is alleged through his action last summer, almost caused an up- rising and massacre of the whites. Practteally the same charges as filed with the department were filed at the land office here, when six of the settlers made formal protests against Capt. Bubb’s allotment of their Jands to the Kalispell Indians. In these affidavits the settlers allege that his unauthorized guaranty to these Indians that if the sctilers did not move out peace- ably from thicr homes government troops weuld be sent in to drive them out, so fn- cited and emboldened the reds that they committed numerous outrages, and made it extremely perilous to remain, and in con- sequence they were obliged to flee with their families, leaving everything behind. ————.—— Hotel Arrivals.

The curious effect that may be produced by a very small transposition of words and ideas Is illustrated by this slightly “mixed” instruction, recently given by an officer at rill to a company of men: “When I give the command, ‘Halt!” you will bring the foot which is on the ground to the side of the one which is in the air, and remain motionless!” The Wayback Code. From the New York Weekly. Mrs. Wayback—“La sakes, ef I ain't for- gitful. Arter ail that trouble finishing that new dress before them folks come, and all the time I wasted gettin’ it on, I forgot the most important thing of ail.” Daughter—“What was that?” Mrs. Wayback—“I forgot to say: ‘Excuse my appearance, ‘cause I ain’t dressed for company.’ ——— Her Own Witness. From the Chic In Henry county, this state, some years ago a young woman who was suing her former sweetheart for breach of promise was put on the witness stand, and the law- yers, as usual, began making all sorts of inquisitive interrogatories. “You say,” remarked one, “that the de- fendant frequently sat very close to you?” “Yessir,” was the reply, with a hectic flush. “How close?" “lose enough so’s one cheer was all the sittin’ room we needed.” “And you say he put his arm round your “No; I didn't.” What did you say, then?” said he put both arms aroun’ me.” Phen what?” a? “Yep; he did. So hard that I came purty near hollerin’ right out.”* “That's no answer. Be explicit, please. Be- cause what?” “Cause I was afeerd he'd stop.” PATRIOTISM. Public Feeling There Represented as Highly Wrought. ‘The statement is made in a Venezuelan paper received here that the British ulti- matum hi been delivered to President Crespo, who is keeping it from the public from motives of expediency. The paper making the statement is opposed to the government, and its assertion is not cred- ited in official quarters. The public feeling in Venezuela continues to be highly wrought over the urgent demands of Great Britain. Patriotic societies are being organized in all parts of the republic, under the name of “Defenders of Venezuela.” No information has been received here as to Lord Salisbury’s answer to Ambas- sador Bayard, and under these circum- stances it is felt that the President’s mes- Sage may not deal with the Venezuelan question as fully as was expected. The impression prevails that if the answer is delayed beyond the meeting of Congress, the subject will be treated in a special message. + + FATAL ACCIDENT. Schoolboy Meets His Death in a Pecu- liar Way. As the result of an accident about noon yesterday, William C. Murdock, jr., an eight-year-old boy, was injured to such an extent that death ensued six hours later. The lad was the son of Charles W. Mur- dock, of the supervising architect's office, Treasury Department, who resides at 1405 Howard avenue, Mt. Pleasant. In company with Walter Cox, young Murdock was play- ing on an improvised merry-go-round near bis home, when the affair toppled over and the unfortunate lad was pinned down by a heavy plank. Cox removed the plank, but as Murdock lay groaning and bleeding, he became frightened and ran for assistance. A let- ter carrier, B. F. Martin, happened to be passing, and he carried the unconscious boy into a neighboring sanitarium. The lat- ter was later taken to the home of his ents, where Dr. Ford Thompson and eral otrer surgeons endeavored to save the life of the boy. All efforts proved futile, however, and death occurred shortly after 6 o'clock. The deceased was the only son of Mr. Murdock, and started to attend school at the opening of the present year. The par- ents were completely prostrated with grief. oo Wrecked by a Blast. Residents in the vicinity of the union depot in Georgetown were startled this morning about 11 o'clock by an unusually loud blast, and when investigation was mide it was found that the engine which is new engaged in doing the work of excava- tion for the foundation of the depot had been partly wrecked by concussion, while the shed which had been erected over !t was a mass of debris. The blast was a reg- ular one, and no one was injured, but why it should have wrecked the engine and shed the way it did will remain a mystery. The engine belonged to Mr. Killen, who is now doing the work of excavating. The wreck- age was cleared away in a few minutes, however, and the work proceeded as usual. Ss The Annual Report. The District Commissioners shut them- selves up all day and no one was allowed to interrupt them. They labored indus- triously on their annual report, and when the office ‘closed they were still at it, with a large amount of work uncompleted. —————__ The Sothoron Divorce Suit. Through Attorney Bates Warren, Mr. J. Thomas Sothoron, a young member of the District bar, this afternoon filed a petition for divorce from Irene M. Sothoron, Mrs. Sothoron being charged with desertion. Mrs. Sothoron is a member of the “Merry World” company, now playing in this city. He represents that his wife, whose maiden name was Bentley, is infatuated with the stage. — A NEW ANAESTHETIC. ‘The Use of a Combination of Pure Oxygen and Ethe From the New York Tribune. Experiments are being made by two well- known physicians in this city with a new anaesthetic, by the uSe of which they hope to do away entirely with the many danger- ous and nauseating effects of anaesthesia as produced by prevailing methods. The com- ponent parts of the new discovery are pure oxygen and ether, and it is ¢ sserted that by a proper combination of the two a person may be put Into a state of insensibility for operating purposes without fear of a possi- ble fatal termination or any immediate de- bilitation of the system. The combination of oxygen and ether, its irtroducers hope soon to demonstrate to the medical faculty, will obviate the extreme pallor or suffusion of the face and the weak- ness induced by the means now used to de- prive people of the sense of feeling. While the doctors who are werking to perfect this new process of anaesthesia refuse to give eny details just now for publication, on the plea that it is as yet only in its experimental stage, they declare that they have used it in several operation cases with the most satisfactory results. One of the doctors in- terested, who does not wish his name to appear in connection with his theory until its truth is practically assured, said.to a Tribune reporter yesterday: “We have administered the anaesthetic to eral persons in the present year, and in sot a single case has it been attended by sickness or nauseating symptoms or percep- tible weakness of the respiratory organs or the heart. Very cften, under the prevailing system, stimulants have to be administered or injected in order to keep life in the pa- tient. But in the cases to which I have just referred stimulants were not once found necessary. A short time ago I operated upon my little boy and as an anaesthetic gave him this mixture of oxygen and ether. His ap- pearance under its influence was just as if he were peacefully sleeping, and within two hours afterward he was around playing with his toys.” The Lady ef the House. From the Chicago Tribune. Caller—I wish to see the lady of the house.” Man of the House—“If you have any bus- iness with her perhaps I can—” “I prefer to see the lady herself.” “Would you mind stating your business?” “T'll state it to the lady.” “If it’s anything you've got to sell I don’t think she would want it.” “It's an invaluable kitchen utensil, but I couldn't make a man understand it. I know she'd want it in a minute if she could see it “I am very sure she wouldn’t have any use for it. She is very much occupied now, any- war can sit down and wait.” “It won't do any good.” “Is there any reason why I can’t see her?” “Oh, no. You can see her if you want to. She's my grandmother and she's blind. She is ninety years old, hasn't been out of bed since 1889, and you'll find her in the next room. One of the neighbors who has a sick child has called in to ask her advice. Nearly every family aroumd here has got the measles, and—” “Good lan Let me get out of here!” SSS ee Not Married After All From Golden Days. A well-known professor of mathematics im an eastern college is so completely ab- sorbed in his profession that he is becom- ing more .and more absent-minded every day. Not long ago he remarked to one of the student: ‘ou see,” explained the pro- fessor gravely, “I wanted to take my wife out for a drive and give her some fresh air, but when I came to make preparations I suddenly remembered that I never had a wife!” ee Shaved in a Lion’s Cage. From the London Spectator. In France cccentric bets are all the rage just now. At Tullins, in the department of the Isere, the arrival of a traveling wild beast show has been the occasion of an original wager. A barber in the town made a bet with the proprietor of the show that he would shave a man inside the lion's cage. The bet was won, the man shaved being a lozal bootmaker. Instead of re- senting the intrusion, the lions looked on with utmost indifference. ONE OR THE OTHER. Either a Bad Mistnke or Two Clever sens. Policeman Kimmell/of the sixth precinct arrested two nicely dréssed young men on complaint of Max 4freenberg, clerk in Brueninger's Jensirg store, and escorted them to police hea quarters, where they were interviewed by Inspector Hollinber- ger.Mr. Greenberg told the officer that the men tame in the~store and were shown some diamond pins, _ |’ They then wanted ‘to look at some rings, and when they had disappeared from the store the clerk says he missed a diamond pin. The prisoners gave their names as Jos. and Harry Hastings, and said they lived at No. 157 Roxbury street, Boston. Four days ago they came here, so they said, and have stopped at the Elsmefe Hotel. + Policeman Kimmel] searched the men, but found nething cn them except their watches and money. The young men protest their innocence, and the officers are making inquiries about them. Sa MAN AT THE WHEEL. Some of the Ingenious Devices for Navigating a Great Steamer. From Harper's Round Table. Let us spend an hour with Capt. Randle of the American liner St. Louis on the bridge in mid-ocean. He first takes us into the wheel house. It is a room about ten feet wide with a curved front. A wheel about three feet in diameter is placed in the center of the room, and you are sur- prised to sce that the quartermaster keeps turning it almost constantly. You have al- ways thought that he had simply to keep his eye on the floating compass in the box irectly in front of him and hold the ship steady on her course. As you look at the compuss you see the ship veering now this way and now that as she rolls and plunges, cr as one screw turns faster than the other, and thus pulls the ship around. It is hard io make two independent screws «o exacUly at the same speed, and so this man at the wheel is busy all the ttme turning the ship straight. He has to fight the waves and the screws and the winds at the same time, and he is a busy man. This steering wheel controls the ship by means of a small column of oil in a little tube. By turning the wheel this way or that the oil in the tube Is forced up or down, and that opens or closes certain valves in the steam steering gear 400 feet away, and the rudder is turned as easily as if a child had done it. In most steamsh'ps the steam-steering gear 4s controled by hy- draulic power—that is, by water—but the use of a column of oil is an improvement. As you look about, you see fastened to the cornice directly in front of the wheel- man a little scale in black with white lines marked off on it. There is a dial on it, and as the ship rolls you see that this is a _de- vice to mark the degree of the roll. You ™may notice that it takes about a secon? for every degree of a roll, On each side of the room is another long black guage, and the dials point to certain figures, generally between ninety and ninety-five. These dials are little electrical devices, showing exactly how many revolutions the screws are mak- ing. The captain at a glance knows what is going on in the engine ruoms. Over in the corner of the room is another curious electrical device. It is a little box with a clock in it. ‘Tre captain tell: is the machine that controis the w: time of fog. The law requires a long blast of the whistle at such Jimes every two min- utes. By pressing a button on this little clock apparatus, and by, setting the clock in a certain manner, the whistle is biown au- tematically for seven. seconds every minute. There can be no error of man in that work. Just as sure as every minute comes around that whistle wiil blow seven seconds. Un- der the old way, when a man puiled the whistle cord, there was no exactness In the work. When the fog is over the button is released, and the whistle stops. —e ARIZONA’ ORANGES. Early Shipments From a New Citrus Producing Region. Frem the Arizona Republican. Yesterday the first Arizona oranges of ‘he crop for 185 went on to Chicago. The whipment was from a grove of the Arizona {mprovement Company, and comprised sev- eral boxes of Wishington navels, sweet, jutey, well ripened and nearly fully colored, large in size, plump and without a sign of rust or scale. It was a shipment to oc proud of, and back east will without doubt create a sensation among those who here- tofore have waited till February to get the first oran of the new California crop. Yesterday seemed to be general orange day along the street, and ripe navels were to be seen in a number of offic: It was evident that Sunday had been made the time for an inspection of many orange groves, and the result showed that the crop this year is over a week earlier than here- tofore known in this valley. The crop will be 1 heavy one. Of the 1,200 acres or more planted in the Salt River valley, several hundred are now in good bearing, and the crop, for the first time, will be a matter cf commercial im- Lortance. ———_-+ee______ SMOKED THE TIN FOIL. What an Alderman Did at a Banquet Given in Milwaukee, From the Chicago Chronicle. The Chicago council members who re- inained at Milwaukee to attend the semi- centennial banquet, smile every time they think of one of the aldermen of the cream city. He is a little man with a serious face and a glittering eye. The cigars passed around after the menu had been exhausted were wrapped in gold foil, and presented an imposing appearance. This alderman took nd after observing its size and bril- jancy he put the small end in bh and bit it off. Then without removing the foil he took a taper from the hands of a waiter and set fire to the semi-centennial torch, and proceeded to smoke with the air of a man who was at peace with all the world. The cigar burned slowly and it emitted an odor which would have caused suspicion of fire in the room if more than half the guests had not seen the cause. The alder- man, however, was apparently oblivious of the fact that he was doing something which was making him the cynosure of all eyes, and he continued to puff away at the golden cigar with a calm dignity which soon reduced it to a stump. And even then, though there were other cigars, the Mil- waukee ald an clung to his torch, and it emitted the same odor of burning gold foil that is as disagreeable as it is pungent. The Chicago aldermen smiled, and thought that Milwaukee was a nice place, while the Milwaukee colleagues said nothing until they got the offender of aldermanic dignity out in the street after the banquet was over.

AND TRADE |g***sesseersese0""23/ goa ENTERPRISE, Speculation Was Principally in the Industrials. NEW YORK CITY AND THE GAS TRUST Gossip of the Street in Regard to Sugar. a GENERAL MARKET REPORTS ———— Special Dispatch to The Evenirg Star. NEW YORK., November 30.—Today'’s short speculative session was devoted prin- cipally to the covering of short contracts in the industrial department, fluctuations in- railway shares being of secondary im- portance and vod of significant feature. London was fractionally irregular and had few important orders in the local market. The short interest in Chicago Gas was pressed hard by friends of that property identified with the new reorganization scheme. A iiberal buying demand immedi- ately after the opening received fresh im- petus from the room element and was not checked until a gain of 2 1-2 per cent had been recorded. The legal difficulties ex- pected to have been interposed by the state authorities seem less threatening, and on this assurance today’s movement was in- augurated. Sugar advanced 1% per cent on good buy- ing, in Which both accounts were said to be represented. Some difference of opinion as to the natural tendency of the stock at this season is reported to have arisen be- tween two rival operators, who seek to con- trol the destinies of any property in which they may have a transitory interest. The result of this contest is of little signifi- cance, if true, the price of the stock in the long run being certain to assume only such proportions as are dictated by the powerful inside interests. The record of past years is strongly favor- able to lower prices, and with a repetition of all other familiar devices, such as the clos- ing down of refineries and mysterious fears of what Congress may do, it is not likely that the customary bear campaign will be overlooked. The large holdings which have heretofore been accumulated prior to an advancing marke: have cost considerably under par, in a majority of instances, and as yet no such opportunity has materialized for the duplication of holdings marketed at the high level last spring. Until evidence of these repurchases are forthcoming, rallies of short duration are all that long account has to rely upon for profit. Western Union gained 1 per cent in sym- rathy with the liquidation of short ac- counts elsewhere. The bank statenient reflects a further large contraction in loans, which is its most upsatisfactory feature. The decrease of nearly two millions in legals is less than was generally expected in view of the heavy gold snipments at the close of last week. ———— FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL, The following are the opening, the high- est and the lowest uad the closing prices of the New York stock market today, as re- ported by Corson & Macartney, members New Ycrk stock exchange.
