GREECE'S N:W CABINET. } Portfolio-Holders Who Will Endeavor to Lead the Country Out of UDifficulties. ATHENS, Greece, Oct. 2.—It 'is semi- offic:ally annotuncea that the Greek Cabi- met has been constituted as follows: | M. Zaimis, President of the Council of | Ministers and Minister of the Interior.

Stroii, Minister of Finance, M. Panageopoulo, Governor of the Na. tional Bank and Mnister of Justice. The split with ex-Premier Delyannis is wideping. M. Delyannis -has issued a manifesto disavowing Premier Zaimis, who was formerly a Delyannist. It was announced officially later that M. Zaimis, the President of the Council, will assuiae the portfolio of the Foreign Office instead of that.of tie Interior; that M. Toman would accept the post of Minister istice. and' Ministerof Marine ad in- terim ; M. Colkerpas that of Minister of thhe Interior, and that M. Panageopotlo wou.d act as Minister of Public Instruc- tion. At a meeting of -his supporters, held at the call of M. Deivannis, ihe prominent persons present refused to enter the. Min- istry. Ata meéeting of another faction of Delyannists it was ‘decided to support any steps taken »by the Ministry which won'd tend 1o hasten -the evacuation of Thessaly by the Turks. The attitude assumed by M. Delyannis meets with general disapproval. e AN ABDUCIUKWS FATE, Andrew MePlierson Killed by the Brother of His Girl Vietim.

Suit for a Divorce and Big Alimony Recalls an Interesting Story of the Past. NEW YORK, N. Y., Oct. 2-A suit for divorce brought by Mrs. Mae T.. Taylor against her husband, Mortimer F. Taylor, in which -Justice - Lawerence of the Supreme Court grants Mrs, Taylor $500 monthly alimony -and a counsel fee of $500 recalls a sensational occurrence in which Mr. Taylor figured in 1892, Mr. Tayiar, although having large busi- ness interests here, becanie involved ina great deal of trouble because of Mrs. Cora Parsons Tyler, the wife of Genrge C. Tyler, a theatrical manawer. Mrs. Tvler was a San Francisco girl, and was married on Apr:l 7, 1892. She was younz aud beauntiful. A few weeks later Tyler took the bride 1o his parent’'s home in Chill cyihe, Ohio. Mr. Taylor was also in Chillicothe, and met Tyler and his wife there. Later the parties came to New York, and the two families lived as neighbors. One day Tyler found bis wife reading a bundle of jetters which she hurriedly cast into the fire. Tyler reached in, got them, and when reaa they were found to be compromising. He metand fought Tavlor and afterwerd sued him tor $100,000 damages for the alienation of the affec- tions of his wife. At that time Taylor was the backer of Henry Guy Carleton’s “'Gllded Fool.” UNSUCCESSFUL KOBBERS. They Wreet a Bani: Building With Nitro Glyerrine but Ave Driven Off. ST.

B. Asquith, former Home Secretary, and George W. E. Russell, former Under Secretary of State for India. *‘Disgrace sbroad and disaster at home’’ was the tenor of all'the speeches, as was to be expected ; but it must be admitted that the arraignment is approved by the con- sciences of many Conservatives when they recall the record of the last few years. Mr. Russell, in dealing with the subject, re- | calted Prince Bismarck’s verdict of Lord | Salisbury as being “a lath -painted to look like iron,” and Lord Randolph Churchill’s later estimate ot the Premier as being “'the greatest funk in Europe.”” Mr. Rus- sell added his own opinion of ‘Lord Salis- creased - Liberal majority, seems to bea warning that the people are wearying of the blundering which has marked Lord Salisbury’s policy.

LONDON, Exq., Oct. 2—The British public seems to be convinced that Amer- icans are trying to lead Great Britain into atrap by including Russia and Japan among the participators in the Bering Sea seal conference and the newspapers and Government officials are fostering this ides. Not only was the letter of the United States -Embassador, Colonel Jonn Hay, of July 29 excluded from the Blue with two exceptions the newspapersdid not publish Colonel Hay’s letter when it was furnished to them by Revter’s Tele- gram Company, and not one of them has commented upon it. The comments of the Globe and Vanity Fair on the situation are especially offen- sive. Vanity Fair says: It looks as if wye must do mething to suppress the | Yankee. Unless tbe constant annoyance | of Washington ceases gunpowder may have 1o be used. We hope the matter | will oe settled, as we do not want to see | the United States put back many years, them. Vanity Fair further consoles itself with the belief that the eagle’s voice is far stronger than its beak and bigger than its coura.e. General Nelson A. Miles, Mra.

There are mysterious stories afloat | of disturbances at Lagos, on the west coast of Africs, and the movements of | British . troops to that pari of the world | from adjoining colonies are coupled with the news that the French Colonial Minis- | teris going to S:negal. The Mohamme- dan chief, Samory, is . operating in the Hinterland of the Gold Coast, and other | 'signs lead to the belief that the King is | dangerous, and tuat the conflict of inter- ests is ‘becoming acute. A high Colomal | Otfice oflicial said to a representative of the | Associated Press: | “The native foment amounts to noth- {ing, but the fact is the French are hem | ming us in around Lagos and pushing us |into the sea, and unless we are rehabili- | tated by a commission - to. delimitate ihe ! Anglo-French frontier more successfully than formerly there is bound to be trouble.” The Chancellor of the Exchequer, Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, returns to London next week, where bis arrival is eageriy anticipated by the United States Mone- tury Commissioners. - While the Chanc | lor'o’ the Exchequer may communica | message immediately to the Commission- | ers, itis not unlikely it will be a notifica- tion that the Government is still unable to give them a definite reply to their pro- posals, but hopes to be abie 10 announce its conclusions at a specific future time. Public men who are in tte test position i to judge think recent developments fore- shudow a negative answer. 'The situation has resoived itself into a contest between th2 banking interests ana the bimetaliic forces in pression in the latter circles is that Sir Mictael Hicks-Beach, who is personaliy an advocate of the gold standard, but who seemed disposed to accede to the wishes of the bimetallists, is being turned against the project of Great Britain’s co- operazion by the pressure of business in- terests. Major Moses P. Handy. the special ! United States Commissioner to the Paris Exposition of 1900, has had a cordial in- {te:view with tne French Minister for Foreign Affairs, M. Hanotaux, in regard to the cbjects of his visit to Europe, but he and his nssoc:ates are dissatisfied with | the small amount of space allotted to the | United States and threaiens to withdraw. 1t is practically impossible for the authori- ties to extend the space. Sibyl Sanderson, interviewed in Paris ve.terday, said she was doubtful whether or not she would sign the contract offered to her by the Opera Comigue for two months at! $100 a night. She would not speak concérning her rumored approach- ing marriage with Antonio Terry, to which his ftiends declare he is urgently pressing her, but it 1s believed it will take place very soor.

BERLIN, GErMANY, Oct. 2.—The new naval bil! asks for an appropriation -of 410,000,000 marks, to be distributed over seven years, and contemplates the con- struction of a score of vessels, of which | ten are to belarge ships. If the Reich- stag refuses to grant this amount of money it will be sent home by the Gov- ernment and new elections ordered forth- with, in which the naval plansof the Em- peror will be made the principal issue, in spite of the whole agrarian party’s ad- vice, who, in that case, fear defeat. Ayainst this Government programme there is already a great deal of opposition. The entire left, including the Radicals, ultra-Liberals, Socialists and the Center party, are denouncing it in their newspa- pers. The leader of the organ of the Cen- ter, 1he Cologne Volks Z:itung, flatly re- fuses in a vigorous editorial to “lend a hand in binding the Reichstag, in its ap- propriations, to a period of seven years,” as ‘“‘abrideing the constitutional rights of that boly.” Tre Center party, with 100 | votes, is absolutely necessary to pass the i measure. The reports in the Turkish newspapers to the effect that Turkey is negotiating with Germany for a special aefensive al- liance and that Turkey is on the point of joining the Dreibund are denied emphati- cally at the German Foreign Office.
