Thef jiegotlatlons at Constantinople have 'entered upon the anxious stage, owing to doubts as to the real Intentions of the sultan, whether he means to resume the war or not A spirit of conciliation! is shown ait the Yildiz Kiosk 't3a wards the ambassadors, but the Turkish govern ment is playing a double game and is Inciting public opinion secretly to op pose the abandonment of Thessaly. The sultan affects to be " greatly afraid of the Islamic party, and the attitude of the grand vizier, as shown by the report which he preserutieJd tfc the eultan on Saturday last, urging that the whole of Islam was fully de termined to retain Thessaly, and ten-1 dering his resignation in case Abdul Hamld differed with these views, has strengthened the suspicion? that the sultan, is prepared to plead' that' Is lamic pressure is 1 tthe reasonfor not yielding to the powers. Advices from Thessaly show that agents of. the Turkish government have been calling upon the Thessawan Mussulmans and Spanish Hebrews to protest again the evacuation of Thessaly and that the few Greeks who have not fled dare not ref use to join in the movement. ..

Little Progress Made on the Tariff Bill. A Sharp Rebuke to Senator Morgan From the Presiding Officer. Washington, May 29. Progress on the tariff bill in the senate was checked I today, the plate glass paragraphs prov ing a source of controversy lasting throughout the day. As a result.little more than a page of the bill was dis posed of. v The finance committee suc ceeded without difficulty in resisting proposed amendments from democratic members of the committee, although each amendment was debated at great length. ' An exciting incident occurred during the afternoon when Senator Morgan, of Alabama, was called to order by Senator Gallinger, who was temporar ily in the chair, for severely priticising the inaction of the house of representa tives. Senator Morgan declared that the speaker of the house Was enforcing an autocratic, trap door rule by which representatives were assembled and dispersed, and he characterized this action as an outrage against popular rights. '.' ..' v " . ; , '. Senator Frye, of Maine, first gave warning that a protest would be made against criticisms of the other house, and when Senator Morgan " vehemently repeated , his. criticisms Senator Hale made a " point of order against him. The temporary presiding officer direct ed Senator Morgan to resume his seat, and then ruled that he. was out of order. ; The Alabama senator, somewhat cha grined was about to appeal from the chair when Senator Hale withdrew his point of order and further friction was avoided. Senator Morgan resumed his criticisms during the tariff debate and made the point .that congress was not now in session, in accordance with the constitution, the house of representa tlves having vacated its functions. After a sharp contest with the tariff leaders, Senator. Quay succeeded in carrying a motion to adjourn over the Decoration day celebration on Monday. The debate on Senator Jones' amend ment to the plate glass schedule lasted two hours, and on a yea and nay vote was defeated 21 to 29. Senators Heit field, Kyle and Pettigrew voted with the democrats, and Senator Jones,-of Nevada, with the republicans. ' , Run Down on the Grand Banks. St. Johns, N. F., May 29.

The crews of both vessels took to their boats and lay by until the Anatole went down. They then boarded the St. Pierre. Canvas was stretched over the hole which had been stove in herside and she was thus enabled to limp into port; The crew of the" hospital ship numbered fifteen and that; of the Ana tole thirty, men. - THE RUIZ UURDER. RESULTS OP INVESTIGATION OP V THE COMMISSION- The Exact Facts as to His Death not Ob ' tainable Two Reports toc.be Made Mr, Calhoun Endorses the Position Taken by General Xee Aid Furnished Destitute American Many Skirmishes ' Between t Spanish Troops and Cubans. Havana, May 29, (via Key West.) Of the two reports understood to have been sent fronv Havana "today by the commission investigating the death of Dr. Ruiz, the one by Mr. Calhoun, who represents the United States, and the other by Dr. Jose Congosto,the Span ish consul at Philadelphia, who repre sents the Spanish government, the for mer will, . it Is said.' agree .with the statement of Consul General; Lee, that Dr. Ruiz died of concussion of the brain, .the result of violence, after soli tary confinement of more than thirteen days, regardless of his treaty if ights. Consul General Lee declined- at yes terday's session of the commission to question the witnesses who. were Jn- terTogated only by the Spanish repre- I sentative. Consul General Lee will shortly make a report on the Ruiz case and Mr. Calhoun wjll make a further report on other -matters, such as the money question the state" of the in surrection, the condition of American interests and the general suffering due to' Captain General Weyler'fe style of campaign. . t . Consul General Lee's position is just what It was in February last. He holds that Spain is responsible for Ruiz's death, because he was deprived of his treaty rights. The exact facts of the case- as to how Dr. Ruiz received the blow which killed him ; General Lee and Mr. Cal hounl could not learn, because half of the 'witnesses examined by the com mission were prisoners and, it is be lieved, were afraid to testify fully. The remaining witnesses were the jailors, who would not tstify so as to incrim inate themselves.. The relief of suffering Americans by Consul General Lee 'goes oh daily. Sev eral hundred have already been as sisted. A prominent and influential Spanish resident of Havana upon being ques tioned with reference to the suggested sale Of Cuba, authorized the represent ative of the Associated Press to tell the American press that he favors the sale of Cuba, not j to the Cubans, but to the United Stated, for the sake of avoiding in I the future ruin, desolation and bloodshed. "The sale of the island to thf Cubans," he said, "means a step backward and carries us to barbarism, as' many of the chiefs of : the actual revolution were formerly bandits. The tliiAd States, as an industrious coun try, symbolizes progress' and civiliza tion, and the Spanish residents in Cuba cannot be indifferent to the welfare of Cuba, having fertilized the island with the sweat of their brows and they will always protest against the sale of the island to the Cubans." - A large' force of insurgents under command of the leader Ruen, ignoring the fact that General Linares, with je- inforcements of 200 men had arrived at Baracoa, province of Santiago de Cuba, recently attacked that port, on the out side of which is located a hospital. The Insurgents made their way into some of the streets In 'the farther part of the town and a portion of the Spanish gar rison left) their barracks and attacked them. The gunboat Vasco Nunez, which was towing a lighter loaded with troops bound for Duaba, heard the fir ing and. leaving' the lighter, went toward Baracoa an do pened fire upon the insurgents. After hot firing the in surgents were defeated and compelled Vasco Nunez were wounded and six- teen of the Spanish soldiers. The gunboat Reina Cristina, while reconnoifering the Guajaibon river, in Pinar del Rio, in spite of the resist ance of the insurgents, who were en trenched on the heights, captured an American boat and destroyed two other boats, which they found to be leaking. ' - ; ' The gunboat Galicia was compelled to fire upon a band . of insurgents out side the port of Banes In order to con vey supplies to the fort The insur gents were dislodged and the garrison was provisioned. . : , An attack was made by the insur gents upon Fort Lama, at Gibara, and the gunboat Galicia opened fire, dis lodging them. , . a Dana or insurgents-captured a coasting vessel at Puerto Padre, laden with supplies. The master of the ves sel and crew were subsequently re leased. ' The Prbyterian Assembly Adjourns. Charlctie, N. C. May 29.

PortiAcations. (Copyright by the Associated Press.) Berlin, May 29. The trial of Herr von lausch. the former chler of the ...... secret political police, charged with per jury, treason and forgery, which began on Monday last and continued throug out the week, monopolizes public at tention. The proceedings will last at least for another week. Though a num ber ' of revelations have been made showing" the rottenness and moral tur pitude of the Berlin secret police, there ieresiin& miormauon nas oeen wiui- held by von.Tauschand by Baron von Luetzow, the chief witness against . him, especially regarding the intrigues of high dignitaries to "queer" a num ber of past and present ministers. The presiding judge repeatedly expressed indignation at the network of corrup tion and baseness into which the de positions of the defendants threw light. Von Luetzow admitted that the names of well known citizens were frequently forged to receipts for money received as compensation for spy service Von T a.uscn saia tne ponce commissioners necessarily had to shield ; the criminal acts 0f tneir subordinate agents; other- wise, no police commissioner could ac- female university is nearly com complish anything, as usually the most pleted. The executive committee is clever agents were the worst men from a moral standpoint. The prisoner re vealed a number of damaging incidents against the owners and editors of Ber lin newspapers. Herr Schweinburgi the owner of the Berlin paper, was charged with receiving an annual bribe of 30,000 marks from the Disconte Society. It was also elicited that Normann Schumann, who was implicated in the scandal which resulted -in von Luetzow be ing sentenced to sixteen months im prisonment in December last, while writing at von Tausch's behest scurri lous articles against members of the present cabinet and the emperor, was paid by von Tausch for instituting make-believe inquiries into the author ship of these articles and for accusing wholly innocent persons of writing them. : - Nermann Schumann escaped from Berlin previous to the arrest' of lyon Luetzow. ,-"-- The government's virtual defeat in the diet on the law of association bill has caused considerable interest in pariia-- mentary circles as to- whether Prince Hohenlohe and .the cabinet will sur vive it . . There was another sensational trial this week, the prisoners -being charged Ttrifw f:m,wD otD tr, f.rrZ t sia and committed at Thorn, the most important Prussian fortress on the Russian border. Fahren, a fortification master, and a courier of the name of Albrecht were the principal -defendants. Several Russian go-betweens fled the country in time to escape arrest The ' evidence showed ' that important mili tary secrets, especially regarding the nature of the equipments of the Prus sian frontier fortifications, had been , betrayed. .Fahren was sentenced to four years' penal servitude and Al-1 brecht .to six months imprisonment A Duel to the Death. Washington, May 29. A special from Chattanooga, Tenn., says: A sensa tional duel to the death occurred at Chickamauga, Ga., about . 7:30 o'clock this morning. The participants were L. J. Barber, chief car inspector for the Chattanooga, Rome and Columbus rail way, and Frank Osborn, a prominent farmer , residing near Chickamauga. Osborn was instantly killed. A family feud of five years standing nas existed oetween xne usoorns ana J A J"V L Barbers. Several days ago Osborn cir- culated a slanderous report concernmg the wife cf Barber. Both men de- clared th? they would settle the mat- I been armed since. I This morning Barber was at the store of Bonti 'Bros. making a purchase, when Osborn walked in.

London does its lionizing in. such a very original fashion that there is no telling in advance whether a visitor will be ignored or "taken up." . We make ' a tremendous fuss over some second-rate celebrity, who excels only In blowing hia own . trumpet, while the real empire- makers are sometimes-" allowed to come . and go unnoticed. For solid and well planned progress achieved with the most limited resources, there has been nothing since the days of Clive to beat that of the Niger company. The last little cam paign against the Foulahs virtually de cided the question ox supremacy over a population estimated at eight or ten mil lions of the most war-like of African natives and a country of immense po tentialities. The victory was achieved by a few hundreds of black troops led by a handful of English officers: It was as significanti in its way as Plassey, but when the organizer of victory.
