EMBASSADORS SEVER RELATIONS WITH THE SULTAN OF TURKEY CONSTANTINOPL May 10.—| A third note, eviden ating direct | from the Sultan, was delivered to-day !fl; the Embassadors, demanding in peremp- | tory language the immediate suppression the foreign postoffices, and reiterating the charges of smuggling against foreign officials. The Embassadors immediately returned the note to the Porte, thus creat- ing partial cessation of relations between embassies and the Turkish Government. | ST. PETERSBURG, May 1L—The post- office troubles at Constantinople, like the Turkish mission to China, are here attrib- | uted to the meddlesome policy of Ger- | many. The Novoe Vremya echoes this sentiment, and says that Germany’s pol- | jcy consists of foolish and persistent flat- | tery of the Sultan. The innumerable mo- | tiveless telegrams sent from Berlin, those | crowns placed on Saladin’s tomb, and | those fountains for the satisfaction of “the faithful” are all bearing fruit, but | | | | | { about our eyeglasses is that they are made of the best material and are put together to stand wear, and at the same time to insure comfort.

WASHINGTON, May 11.—There is a dis- position on the part of administration ofti- cials to sympathize with Turkey in her | objection to foreign postoffices in Con- stantinople. The foreign mail, it is pointed out, is now sent through either the British or French postoffices and sometimes through | the Austrian postoffice. The maintenance | of postoffices by the powers, while in de- rogation of Turkish soverelgnty, grew out of a suspicion entertained toward the Porte that official mail would be opened in transit. 8o far as known by the State De- partment Leischman, the American rep- resentative at Constantinople, has, not joined with the Buropean representatives in the note to the Porte declining to sup- press the foreign postoffices, nor has he asked for instructions. Turkish postal fa- cilities have greatly improved in recent ears, and officials say they wold be quite willing to trust the American official mail to the Turks. RUSSTA AUTHORIZES ANOTHER NEW LOAN TUkase Announces That the Money Is Needed to Restore Advances to Railways. ST. PETERSBURG, May 11.—The fol- lowing ukase was issued to-day: “The Minister of Finance, in order to restore the treasury advances to railway companies in 1900 and to meet the expend- itures for the current year, has authorized the issue of a loan to the nominal amount of 424,000,000 francs, to be called the Rus- The 12,500 francs. The 500 francs are equiva- lent to 187% rubles, 404 marks, £19, 16s 6d sterling and $96 50. The interest is payable quarterly, beginning June 1.

Rival Interests Still Claim to Control the Northern Pacific. : L Y NEW YORK, May 11.—With both the Stock: Exchange and the Consolidated Exchange closed to-day and with practi- cally ‘nothing doing on the curb, Wall street was very quiet. Aithough the ex- changes were not open for business, all the larger brokerage houses had their clerks at work straightening out the ac- counts of speculators and putting their books in order. In the rush days from Monday to Friday none of the usual mak- ing-out of customers’ statements was done, and it will probably be late to-mor- row night before the balancing of ac- counts will be finished. All interest in the financial world re- main absorbed in the great contest for the control of Northern Pacific and the rivalries that have been caused by that battle. The heavy buying in Union Pa- cific yesterday provoked much comment and to-day" ‘‘the street” -was wondering whether the fight of the railway giants was to ‘be transferred to that stock again. The high price for Northern Pacific in Lordon to-day was taken by many as in- dicating that buying for controi of the property was still going on wherever the seller had the stock to deliver. It was learned to-day also that at the time Kuhn, Loeb & Co. were settling with shorts yesterday at $150 a share they were paying the same price over the counter to all who offered the securities for in- stant delivery. Hill’s Friends Get Hurt. The Commercial Advertiser prints the following interview with J. J. Hill: “Mr. Hill, are the troubles between the Northern Pacific and the Union Pacific settled?” asked the reporter. “There is no question of any trouble. I never myself had any doubi that in the end we should come out all right. And the trouble was not foisted upon the ublic by us, I did not speculate myself n a single €hare, and the shares of the Great Northern and of the Northern Pa- cific which I have to-day I shall keep, if I can, until doomsday. “The troubles which have been caused by the ‘dispute,’ as the papers called it, have been fomented by the papers them- selves. When we who are concerned can get togother_and talk matters over, the ifferences will not be so great as they appear. They will not be impossible of settlement. But look at the ruin that has been done.’” Mr. Hill paused and turned half around. When he turned back there were tears in his eyes. “T have received lots of letters,” he said, “from friends of mine—men and women— who are not rich, who are comparatively poor. They know that I was interested personally and largely in my properties, and they had faith in them and in me. Now they are completely ruined, and sim- ply because they have been caught in the vortex of a gamble. Yet they bought their shares in good faith.”* “Mr. Hill,” asked the‘reporter, “do you not think that ‘the community of interest’ principle or idea is having a pretty severe trial Just now “Well, that I cannot talk about now. I feel to much grieved over the situation. This very morning I got a letter from the wife of 3 friend of mine telling me of the losses to her family. I repeat that this trouble has mot been of my making, and no one regrets it more than I do.” B “Will the trouble end soon?” “Yes, if common sense prevalls; yes.” Kuhn, Loeb & Co. Claim Control. | Otto C. Kuhn of the firm of Kuhn, Loeb ad, any: of Mri reply to make to.the §trictares Hill. He replied: “No, I have nothing to say on the sub- ject whatever.” “Does the firm of Kuhn, Loeb & Co. still maintain that it has control of the Northern Pacific?” was asked. “We reiterate every assertion with posi- tiveness that we have control of the Northern Pacific,” continued Kuhn, PARIS, May 11 Pierpont Morgan refusés to be seen or reply to notes sent him. He will go to London to-morrow, and it was understood yesterday that he would take ‘the first steamer from Eng- land for the United States, but this morn- ing he told a friend that he hopes to be able to avoid the necessity of his depart- ure for home and to return to Paris for an audience with President Loubet in a few days. Would Be Different in France. PARIS, May 11.—The occurrences and attracting The Courler du Soir, commenting upon what might hap- pen if such a financial crisis occurred in France, says: “We,_should have had panics, catastro- phes, ‘the collapse of state rentes, sul- cides, street riots, a Ministerial crisis and violent attacks upon foreigners all in one day, whereas America is calm, and only the victims of the s(rugge are striving to recover their senses. France.and the United States are of two very different worlds, civilization and minds.” INSIDERS LET OUT STOCK. Blocks of the Hill Shares Said to Have Been Sold. ST.

Duke and Duchess of Marl- borough Appear in Public - to Disprove Stories. e — LONDON, May 11.—The ladles of the late Queen Victoria's court, after anxious waiting, have learned that they are to recelve pensions, although minute,ones. Many of these former members of the royal household, though of high lineage. have meager fortunes, and the maids of honor, etc., found their posts' richer in honors than in profit. The excuse’ for the meagerness of the pensions is the inade- quacy of the provisions for the.royal ex- penses. During the last few years Queen Victoria was unable to make the civil list meet the official expenditure and was obliged' to draw on her private fortune. King Edward now has to keep up Bal- moral Castle and Osborne house, costing £31,000 annually, though he dislikes both places. Marlboroughs in Public. The Duke and Duchess of Marlborough hive taken an active and conspicuous part in the Primrose League meetings tiis week, always appearing together, so as to emphasize that there was no truth in the recent stories of a serious misun- derstanding between them. At the recep- tion which Mrs. Bischoffsheim gave to the league Thursday evening among the prominent people grouped about the host- ess were the Duke and Duchess of Marl- borough. There were no novelties in the theatri- cal world this week, but there will be many in the near future, Among the most interesting will be an adaptatiom of “Don Caesar de Bazan,” by Jerald Du Maurfer, ich Lewis Waller will produce at the Tonet Theater May 20.

VESSEL. WILL SEARCH FOR Nzws\rnon PEARY Bark-Rigged Steamer Eric to Leave for the Arctic in the Middle 7 of July. HALIFAX, N. S.. May 11.—The Peary Arctic Club has chartered for its work next summer the steamer Eric, lately pur- chased from the Hudson Bay Company by Captain James A. Farquhar of Hali- fax. The cruise of 1901 will be the fourth in that series under the auspices of the club in Lieutenant Peary's undertaking to reach the pole. The Eric will safl from Sydney, C. B., about the middle of July and will return, it is expected, about two months later with full details of what has occurred during the two years since Peary has been heard from; also with information of the fate of the Windward, upon which Mrs. Peary and Miss Peary sailed from Sydney last vear for the north. The Eric will take sufficlent supplies for her own party for a vear and a surplus, if it be neces- sary to leave any at the north. The Eric, a bark-rigged steamer of 512 tons, i8 the largest yet employed in the Arctic service, was built at Dundee for her owners and was offered for sale to Lieutenant Peary in London in January, 1898, about the time the Windward was given to him by Mr. Harmsworth. MANCHESTER’S CREDITORS ARE ADVISED TO WAIT Froceedings of Bankruptey Court Against the Duke Again Aired and Agaln Postponed. LONDON, May 11.—The Duke of Man- chester’s affairs were again aired in the bankruptey court Friday, when the ac- counts lodged disclosed a total indebted- ness of £37,794 and assets of £7545. The liabilities include in connection with theatrical speeulation and £6000 for the promotion of a company. 3 The proceedings were agaln adjourned, counsel announcing that a scheme would be proposed in a few days assuring the creditors better terms. [ b el ) contest which has been waged during the f;“t few days. Certain holders of the orthern Pacific in league with Hill were tempted, says the information, by the high price of the stock to put it on the market unknown to the Hill managers. It had been acquired by them when the stock was low and while the holders of this stock had no intention of desertin, the Hill-Morgan combine they conclude that the stock was too mfh and could be bought back at a much lower price and they could clean up a few thousands by the transaction. It appears that the Har- riman people had anticipated some such action and had planned to vick up the stray shares of Northern Pacific as fast as they appeared on the market. This stock, which was pledged to the Hill com- bine, was eagerly gobbled up by the Har- riman interests, as also were all other small lots offered. This was two weeks ago. Finally the rumor reached the ears of the Hill people and, as the story was repeated ang grew stronger, they began to count noses. It was then that they dis- covered that a large block of their own stock had got into the hands of Harri- man and his friends through the cupidity of one of their own party and the order went forth to their brokers to buy up the stock at any price. This was the beglnmnx of the frantic struggle between the great financial ‘com- bines and is probably why J. J. Hill in an interview said yesterday: “There has been sormhe wicked work. There have been plots and there have been means adopted to ac- eomplish ends_that could find no justifi- cation in any éthical code.” A high raflroad official says: “I belicve Hill had firm control of the Northern Pa- cific before this stock market excitement commenced. I say that because of my knowled; of Hill's prudence, foresight and_ ability, Hill either now has control or he sold it voluntarily. You may be very sure he never lost it “""‘{,‘,‘“‘?" 1f he sold ‘his holdings he has a big lot of In either event you positive that Hill is a_winner.” If You Have Dyspepsia Send nomoney,but writz Dr.8hoop,Racine, Wis., box137,for six bottles of Dr.Shoop's Restorativ: express paid. 1f cured,pay $5.60—1¢ not,1t is frec® money to show for it. may Made of Alleged Schemes, —_— China Question [s Still the Uppermost One in the Kaiser's Empire. BERRWIN, May 11.—The members of the Reichstag wart to go home, after dispos- ing of the few .pending matters. The ad- journment will be.until the end of Novem- ber, when the Government has promised to; present ‘the - tariff" bill, which-in the meantvhile * will be thoroughly consid- ered by the various state governments and the Bundesrath. - 1 An adjourniment is really necessary now, because the attendance in the Reichstag during the past fortnight has dwindled steadily, and important measures have repeatedly been passed by a few score of members. This doubtless was owing par- tially to the fact that members of Reichstag do not yet receive any remun- eration for their services, not even free railroad passes. The Reichstag this week, .for the thirteenth time, passed a resolu- tion by a five-sixths majority to the effect that the members should be pald so much per day, but it is known that the Emperor and the Bundesrath still oppose any re- mureration, and will not confirm the Reichstag resolution. ‘When the members disperse next week the House will have agreed to a prolonga- tion of the provisional commercial ar- rangement between Germany and Great Britain until December 31, 1908, to an im- perial order levying a duty on logwood and to a supplementary duty on coffee and cocoa from Haytl. American Criticism Annoying. The anti-Germanism in part of the American press is keenly felt here, all the more because nobody knows the reason for it. The Foreign Office is kept busy denying one unfounded story after an- other, Intended to ascribe rapaclious schemes to Germany. The officials of the United States Embassy fully confirm the statements of the German Foreign Office. The serious and influential newspapers have hitherto not pald much attention to this renewed ‘“Deutschen Hetze” (Ger- man baiting) in America, but the Berlin Neueste Nachrichten, Conservative, has pointed out how differently sensational news from America, apparently conflict- ing with German interests here, is re- ceived. It instances the report about the Azores, and says: “Nobody here blames the United States for trying to secure a coaling station on the Azores or elsewhere.” The Tageblatt’s New York specials, re- ferring to anti-German utterances in the American press, have been followed in every case by prompt official denial here of the imputations made. Russia’s Moves in China. The China question is still uppermost here. The Cologne Gazette prints a St. Petersburg special saying that Russia is hastening to_finish the Manchurfa Rail- road bK purchasing locomotives in Amer- ice, taking temgorarfly the rolllng stock from the Russo-European roads and great- Iy _increasing the number of officials, en- abling Russia before long to throw a couple of army corps into Manchuria b; rail. The paper further says 'that l\l Delcasse, the ' French Foreign Minister, who recently visited St. Petersburg, ledged Russia France's support in the anchurian question. The figures accompanying the British- German commercial provisorium show that both the British imports into Ger- many and the German imports into Great Britain are steadily increasing. Andrew J. White, the United States Em- bassador, and Mrs. White are obliged to Jeave their vresent residence on Lenne strasse July 1. Mrs. White is going to the seashore for the summer and Mr. White will stop at a Berlin hotel. Mme. Sembrich began to-day a short season with “Don Pasquale” at the Royal Opera, which was overcrowded. She was accorded an enthusiastic reception and showed that she had completely recovered her voice. STUDENTS AT MELBOURNE CHAFF THE KING’S SON Duke of Cornwall and York Gets a Degree and Some University Joking. MELBOURNE, May 1lL—Among the ceremonies here to-day in connectlon with the visit of the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall and York was the conferring on the Duke of the degree of doctor of laws by the Unliversity of Melbourne. The un- dergraduates, who were in great form, bembarded the Duke with volleys of chaif, which the recipient seemed to enjoy. The whole audience, which included many la- %_lelsl, joined in singing “He's a Jolly Good eliow.”” FLORIDA’S GOVERNOR VISITS A RUINED CITY State’s Troops Will Be Kept on Guard at Jacksonville to Prevent Lawlessness. \ JACKSONVILLE, Fla., May 1L—Jack- sonville was visited to-day by Governor Jennings and a committee from the Leg- islature, which came to view the situation with a view of-determining how long it would bhe necessary ‘for the State militla to remain on guard. It was decided that despite -the expense of $i00 a day the troops should remain indefinitely. No dis- order is anticipated so long as frée ra- tlons are being distributed, but the vicious element might give trouble, it is thought, when the “no work, no rations” ediet is enforced. The committee has begun to eliminate those who are now imposing upon the country’s charity, but some days must elapse - before the process can be com- leted. Twelve cars loaded with supgueé or the destitute from the New York Chamber of Commerce arrived to-day and were gratefully received. The commis- saries continue to feed several thousand persons_daily. Thus far the insurance companles have settleq about one-fourth of the losses, or:$1,500,000.

The budget next year is, In round figures, 8,600,000,000 francs. $ Compared with the budget of the pres- ent year, next year's budget shows an in- cresse in expenditure of 43,000,000 francs. This budget is made up of the following tems: Public debt and “dette viagere,” that is to say, rentiers and pensioners of state, absorbed nearly 250,000, ancs. Presidencies of Chamber of Deputles and Senate cost, 13,500,000 francs. Army.and navy cost 1,030,000,000 francs. Collécting of taxes and other similar ex- penditures cost 430,000,000 francs. Redemption of debt and other charges absorb 40,000,000 francs. There remains therefore for general ex- enditures, that is to say, payment of of- cials, keeping public roads and public buildings—in a word, for national house- Kkeeping expenses—841,000,000 francs It is the greatest budget that has ever been paid—the greatest of all budgets since the world began. WINTER CROPS GOOD THROUGHOUT EUROPE Reports Indicate That the Grain Yield Will Be Up to the Average. WASHINGTON, May 11.—The Agricul- tural Department’s summary of crop con- ditions in Europe, just issued, is as fol- lows: With only one exception of much. im- portance, so far as is yet known, the con- dition of the winter grain crops of Eu- rope at the end of the winter ranged from fair to very good. The exception is the winter wheat crop of Germany, of which the condition was officially stated on April 15 at 3.6, a figure denoting an out- look considerably below medium. Moreover, nearly one-fourth (22.6 per cent) of the area sown was winter killed and had to be plowed up and devoted to other crops. The winter rye crop, how- ever, which in Germany is considerably more than twice as large as the wheat crop, has fared much better, the condition being above the medium and only 2.9 per cent of the area requiring to be plowed up. The area under winter graln in Russia was curtailed in some parts of the coun- try by drouth in autumn, but there is a possibility that in the case of wheat the deficiency due to this cause may have been made up by the sowing of an extra breadth of that grain this spring. In France, on the other hand, the area under spring wheat is smaller than last year. spring_season has been backward, but aside from this gjrcumstance the spring crops appear as 4 rule to have been put under fairly stafsfactory conditions. RECOVERY FOLLOWS THE POPE'S BLESSING Vatican Circles Moved by the Re- markable Cure of Mgr. Canestrari. NEW YORK, May 11.—A World special from Rome says: Vatican vcircles are greatly moved by what is considered the almost rhiraculous recovery of Monseign- eur Canestrari from what was belleved by his physicians to be a mortal stroke of paralysis, which brought him to the point of death. Immediately upon his receiving the Papal blessing, following the celebration of a speclal mass for him by the Pope in his private chapel, the physicians noticed a decided improvement, which has been maintained. The patient not only is now out of danger, but is steadily recovering power in his limbs. e e AR DESPERATE BANDITS ROB EIGHT SHEEPMEN Shearers on Theg'Way Home With Money Held Up in a Boxcar. EVANSTON, Wyo.,, May 11L.—Eight sheep shearers returning from Rock Springs were held up by two men in the railway yards to-day and robbed of sums ranging from $50 to $100 each.
