Lownox, M»jr i'4.—-The G re co-Turk
ish situation, according to the latest
advices from both Athens and Con
stantinople, is becoming serious once
more. Turkey insists on the payment
by Greece of at least the Turkish ex
penses of the war and a rectification
of tlie frontier, and to-day the Oreek
ministers declared to the foreign min
isters at Athens that Greece would
not pay one cent's indemnity to Tur
key nor would it agree to a rectifica
tion of the frontier.
Further than this, the feeling of the
people of Athens against King George
and Crown Prince Constantine is grow
ing in bitterness and the Austrian
cruiser Kronprincessin Stefanie has
been ordered from Salon lea to Pha-.
lerum, near the Piraeus (the port of
Athens) to remain there at the disposal
of the royal family of Oreece i.f re
quired to convey them from that coun
try.
TURKS BREAK THE ARMISTICE.
To add still more to the excitement
in Oreece, small bodies of the Turkish
right wing in Thessaly advanced yes
terday toward the village of Divri.
This is a flagrant breech of tho armis
tice. The Turks have also pillaged
tho estate of tho heirs of Photides Pa
I'ha, late Christian governor of Crete,
pear Sofalis. talcing away thirty-eight
wagon loads of furniture, burning
dwellings, violating women and com
mitting many other acts of pillage and
outrage.
After the defeat of Domokos the
people seemed to expect the immediate
arrival of the Turks at Athens. On
all slides families prepared to go to the
islands and anxious crowds paraded
the streets.
home shots were fired at the crown
prince as he endeavored to stay the
confusion of the retreat from Domo
kos. Two Greek battalions were seized
with panic and the retreating soldiers,
on entering Lamia, could not he re
strained by their officers. They
shonted: “The Turks are coming.’’

Owing to this last case, the British

STATESMEN IN A RIOT,
Spanish Minister of Foreign Affairs Brass
a Ssnator*s Bars.
Madrid, May 5*. —The Duke of Te
tuan, minister of foreign affairs, has
resigned, as a result of an incident in
the Senate to-day, when be boxed the
cars of Senator Comas. Senor Canovos,
the premier, will take the portfolio ad
interim. The Liberals of the Senate
hare decided to attend no more ses
sions of the Senate until full satisfac
tion has been accorded to Senator Co
mas and the Liberal party by the Duke
of Tctuan.
The exciting incident which culmi
nated in a free fight was provoked by
the statement of the Duke of Tetuan
that Seuor Sagasta's speech the other
day to the Liberals had contributed to
bring about the vote in the American
Senate.
General Luis Pando said: “The
thing now happening is due te 'the
cowardice and feebleness of the gov
ernment.”
Senator Comas said: “You will dis
cuss that to-morrow.”
“We will discuss it,” replied the
Duke of Tetuan, “but I will accept
dictation from nobody.”
“Nor I, either," retorted Senator
Comas, at the top of his voice.
At this point the Duke of Tetuan,
pale with excitement, boxed both ears
of Senator Comas and felled him to the
floor. The son of Comas threw him
self upon the duke and struck him a
heavy blow with his fist. Several
senators intervened and a general
scuffle ensued, with great confusion,
and it was some time before order was
restored.
The Duke of Tetuan tendered his
resignation immediately after the in
cident. ! It is believed that he mis
understood the reply of Senator Comas,
os he is regarded us on extremely
courteous and honorable man.
Senator Comas is a professor in the
University of Madrid and is held in
high esteem in scholastic and political
circles. ; ‘
After a deliberation with the sec
onds of the two men, it was decided
that under the code duello a duel was
unnecessary as the aggressions wete
reciprocal.
TO NULLIFY TRUST LAW.
WliolNBlt Grocer* Trying to Avoid the
Kansas Restrictions.
Kansas City, Mo., May 24.—Nearly
all of the wholesale grocery houses in
TTnneoa anil A1 If!.’ t
housed were represented at a meeting
in session at the Coates house to-day.
It is of peculiar importance to ail Kan
sas grocers, as its purpose is to And
some basis on which to reorganise the
wholesale grocers' association of that
state. Associations of this kind are
not far removed from genuine trusts,
as they fix prices and rules for govern
ing business. The last Kansas legis
lature recognised that fact and in
passing its attti-trust law last winter
it provided for sending to Jail travel
ing salesmen who sell on an agreed
schedule and do not compete in prices.
This was chiefly for the purpose of
reaching the Missouri houses that sell
In Kansas.
The great trusts of the East recog
nized the Kansas law to the extent of
lifting the restriction placed on whole
salers of certain kinds of goods which
forced them to maintain an agreed
price. Even Havemeyer, the sugar
trust magnate, was compelled to give
up some of his requirements. The
grocers finally grew tired of the de
moralized condition of trade, and tha
meeting to-day is an effort to agree on
a basis that will save to the grocers a
fair profit and at the same time keep
them and their salesmen out of the
Kansas jails.

PINE POINTS OF LAW.
CLAIMS REOARDINO SUITS
AQAINST BARTLEY.
Hla Bondsmen Contend that Action Moat
Be Brought In Lancaster County—
The Case Taken Voder Advise
ment by dodge Cowell
’ Alleged Lack of dorlsdletloo.
Judge Powell of Omaha'wa."* engaged
last week in the hearing of arguments
of counsel in the motion of several of
Joseph Hartley's bondsmen to quash
the summons served on them because
of an alleged lack of jurisdiction of the
Douglas county district court.
The argument was opened by E. M.
Ilartlett of that city, lie was followed
by E. E. Brown of Lincoln. Both of
these attorneys based their argument
on the line that as Bartley was to have
turned over the state's money to his
successor at Lincoln, that Lancaster
county is the only county entitled to
have jurisdiction of the suit against
him.
They brought up a point upon which
they seemed mainly to rely, which is
interesting, as it may be taken as an
indication of their course in the crimi
nal proceedings against Bartley, which
is summed up in this form: The claim
is that if Bartley legally withdrew the
money from the Omaha national bank,
then a demand must be made upon
him at Lincoln for this specific sum'
before his failure to turn it over can
be called embezzlement. If, however,
he did not legally withdraw the money,
then there is no withdrawal, and, al
though the money has been taken out
of the bank, it is still in the bank so
far as the state is concerned. In other
words, the bank is primarily liable.
_ Attorney-General Smyth and his as
sistant Ed. P. Smith, answered this
argument by declaring that if the
money was withdrawn from the bank
by Bartley with the intention to ap
propriate it to his own use, it was not
legally withdrawn and Bartley has
committed a crime in Douglas county,
and that the same state exists if Bart
ley withdrew the money legally, but
but afterwards illegally applied it to
his own use. Smyth scouted the idea
that the money could have been with
drawn from the bank by Bartley as an
individual, as it was deposited by him
as state treasurer, and to withdraw
the money he must withdraw it as state,
treasurer.
Judge Powell took the, case under
advisement and said that he will en
deavor to give a decision within the
next ten dayet

Gold In Itlohardton County.
Several years ago a Richardson
countv farmer notified Uov. Holcomb
that he had found in the sand near
Rulo both gold and silver, with strong
indications of diamonds. This time
the people are more modest and report
a find of gold alone. For a long time
it has been known that gold existed in
the lower strata of sand on the farm of
\\m. Hrnnnin, two miles south of Falls
City. Last week many prominent citi
xens took an outing1 on Mr.'brennln’s
invitation and washed about two-thirds
of a cubio yard of sand, finding gold
nuggets worth $14. The gold is found
just above the bed rock and its pres
ence in tliis locality is not expected in
very large quantities, but it would pay
to mine it at tile rate of yield. Mr.
Itranniu lost his wife and one child in
the tornado about a year ago and
everyone hopes that his gold find may
be as valuable as it appears.

ANOTHER SHORTAGE.
■•■•tor Mato toys Ha Hot Located One
■t Beatrice.
Lincoln dispatch to the Omaha Bee:
Senator Mntz of the legislative inves
tigating committee was up from Bea
trice today to consnlt with other mem
bers of the committee, and returned on
the evening train to continue the work
of investigating the accounts of the
institute for feeble minded youth. He
thinks the work will take fully two
weeks more. Since the institution
was established it was under the super
intendency of J. T. Armstrong until
the appointment of Dr. Fall early this
year. This covered a period of ten
years, and the investigation is to cover
the whole time up to the appointment
of Dr. Given. Mr. Mutz says that the
books are found to have been very
well kept and no fault can be found in
that particular so far as he has inves
tigated. He thinks that in an institu
tion of this sort there is an opportunity
for a shortage which could be discov
ered only by an overhauling of the
books. In this reference is had to the
money paid in by private individuals
for the benefit of relatives confined
in the institution. Such money is
placed to the credit of the individuals,
and in many cases after the patient
has left the institution there is a bal
ance of this kind unexpended and of
which no one has any knowledge ex
cept the person having charge of the
books. In most cases the person pay
ing in the money takes it for granted
that it has all been expended. The
books of Supt. Armstrong show numer
ous balances of this kind for which no
money has been accounted. Mr. Mutz
says that it is currently reported at
Beatrice, and he believes it to be true,
that Armstrong is short about $2,000.
The investigation, however, has not
gone far enough to show wherein the
shortage lies.
The investigation of the state offices
will no doubt show how many of the
statutes of 1873 were purchased by the
state and the amount paid for them.
In addition to the large number that
must have circulated in the years fol
lowing the publication of these stat
utes there are now down in the cellar
under the land commissioners office,
fully 2,000 copies stacked up on the
dirt floor, all mouldy from the damp
ness they have absorbed during the
many years they have lain down there.
The statutes for that year were excep
tionally large volumes, containing all
the general laws passed by the state
up to that time, and there is almost a
carload of them in the cellar yet.

A new industry, that of sheep shear
ing1. was started at • the Union stock
yards. South Omaha, last week. From
this time on until the sheep season
closes two or three sheep shearers will
be kept busy clipping the wool from
lambs and sheep that go to the coun
try as feeders. The first day over 200
lambs were sheared and dipped pre
paratory to being shipped to the feed
lots in the vicinity of South Omaha,
where they will be fattened. One man
can shear about 100 sheep in a day,
and during the busy season it is more
than likely additional shearers will
have to be provided. The shearing
pens have been located in the Sarpy
division, just south of the exchange
building. These pens are only a short
distance from the dipping plant where
several hundred sheep can be dipped
every hour. Just now the sheep busi
ness is on the boom at that market,
better prices being oaid there than at
any market in the country.
Railroad* Aiding the Exposition.
The Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul
railway has been added to the list of
railways that are standing up for the
Trans - Mississippi exposition. The
Milwaukee road has just increased the
amount previously subscribed by other
roads by the donation of 510,000.
Managers Z. T. Lindsey of the depart
ment of ways and means and Edward
Rosewater of the department of pub
licity, after securing the contribution
■ of $20,000 from the .Rock Island road,
in Chicago, called on the officials of
the Milwaukee rond. They have been
considering the amount they could
best afford to give to the exposition
for some time past. After a brief con
ference $10,000 was announced as the
amount of the donation. This makes
$00,000 thus far subscribed by the rail
roads, and three of them—the Union
Pacific, the Missouri Pacific and the
Wabash—are yet to be heard from.
