COLORADO MOUNTAIN SHEEP. The Day Not Fur Dtetant M hen They Will Fa ExNnct. Mountain euwrp appear to bo lneras- nW tm In -o tt ami t pn 11 r u ( I ! 1 It a rare and timid animals are leaving their dizzy haunt anions the high mountain peak aud drawiug nearer to the habitations of man than over be fore. In the comparatively low lauds, near the town of Jefferson, there la now a flock of fifty or more mountain sheep. Jefferaon U on the South Park Kallroad, about eighty-one miles south west of Denver, In Park County. It lo an, old-fashioned community, and has near It the well-known summer resort, Jefferson Lake. Tho vicinity, disturbed by the rumble of trains as well a the eoumla of human life and industry, Is not at all a quiet one. It has none of the characteristics which usually mark the natural home of the almost extinct mountain sheep. . And yet for several days past a band of at least fifty of the soft-eyed, lnrge Jiorned native sheep of the Rocky Mountains has been calmly grazing around the town of Jefferson aud close to the railroads. It is said that the sheep do not display any sign of fear of the Jefferson people. Many of them come In open daylight within easy pl tol hot of the residences. They do not run away unless somebody purposely trie to frighten them. For many years past the sight of a mountain sheep has been a rarity in Colorado, and usually but one at a time has been seen. A hunter far off from civilization migb:. descry a solitary heep perched ou a crag overlooking some wild and steep canyon, but hard ly ever within gunshot range. No such thing as fifty sheep together has been reported, even by the veriest Mun chausen of hunters. When a lone sheep was seen it usually disappeared from view at the slightest awirin. Considering these things, the descent of fifty sheep upon the town of Jeffer son, as though they had formed them selves Into an excursion party some where among the mountains, does not look reasonably explainable. The gen eral theory is that bitter cold and deep snows In tho higher altitudes drove them downward, and that they Joined together for mutual protection as they traveled from peak to peak. Killing mountain sheep Is absolutely prohib ited by law In Colorado. It Is a closed season all the year round with the ani mals, Just as it is with buffalo. Denver Republican.

Two hundred thou sand women and children aie homeless and destitute in Thessaly and the gov ernment is unable to relieve their nei." AH tbe talk now, says tbe Daily Mail's Berlin correspondent, is of the interven tion of the powers. Even Germany wishes to save Greece from the conse quence of defeat, and it is believed in Berlin official circles that the powers will intervene of their own initiative if Greece does not invite them. ', According to a dispatch from Con Hantinople to the Lokal Anseiger tbe sultan will accept the following condi tions as tbe basis for peace: The withdrawal of the Greek troops from Crete and the re-establishment of tne frontier of 1821, Greece to be exclud ed from all tbe advantages of capitula tions and to pay indemnity.

The Daily Mail's correspondent at Paris has had an interview with the ambassador of one of the powers of the dreibund, who emphatically denied that "any accord" exists between the triple alliance and Turkey.

The Daily News eaye : It is common talk in Chicago society circles that Marshall Field is engaged to the widow of tbe late Gen. Philip H. Sheidan and that the wedding will take place in the near future. Mr. Field reached Chicago yesterday, but declined to see a reporter who called for tbe purpose of ascertaining whether or not the story of hu engagement waa true.

DOZENS OF LIVES GO INTO DARKNESS Lotto! Property Keacbea Million of Dol lars Horlc ul Ilfkcue aud Help Being Kapidly Fnbed. Gothrib, Okl., April 29. For miles last night the Canadian valley was a dreary waste and her people are over-! cast with gloom. At sunrise yesterday, morning a mighty wall of water from' six to eight feet high and a mile wide broke upon West Guthrie without warn- I . . ing, crushing bouses, sweeping away property and drowning people by the score. Every movable thing wa swept before the wave, which passed into the valley with resistless force, wreaking terrible destruction to life and property wherever it reached. , . Dozens of human lives are known to have been sacrificed, how many may not be known for weeks; hundreds of. houses were wrecked in the twinkling of an eye; fur miles farms were ruined,' bridges and tracks were washed out and railway traffic in evety direction is at a etandstill. The most complete chaos has pre vailed all day. The efforts of rescuing parties have in many rases proven in vain. , Many people floated down stream before they could be reached and their fate is unknown; others will pass the night in the trees in midstream or perched on house tops. It is impossible to estimate the dead. The property loss is placed at something near a mill ion dollars. ESTIMATES ON DEATH LIST. When darkness settled over the city last night many were claiming that all of forty lives had been lost, and not in frequently men were heard claiming that fully 200 perished. These wild es timates are unquestionably exaggerated, but the exaggerations are not to be won dered at, if the frightful incidents of the disaster are considered. Lives were lost in the flood in every direction in place of the few who were heroically carrying on the work of rescue and of the many who stood helpless at the edge of the raging wa'ers. Men and women and children struggled in the torrent side by side v, ith horses and cattle, perishing here, another there and in other places sev-.rai disappearing together beneath tbe flood. At dark two bodies had been recov ered. Tne bodies recovered are those of Anna Kaizer, a school teacher, and Frank Mayers. Others known to have been drowned are : George Owens. J. II. Calhoun, wile and child. Charlie Rufner and wife. Rastus M'Gill. ' Lena Burk. Mrs. Watt. Mrs. Wesley M'Gill and five children. John Metz. Mrs. James Montgomery. Mrs. Dummills. Jim Lilly. Mrs. Dumas. H. H. Beckfinger. Mrs. Frances Moore. Jahn Beard. Mrs. 8ue Wilson. Jennie Taylor. Samniie Jackson. George Smithers. It is believed that loss of life also on rnrred sonth of Guthrie. a1ot. , Cnt. t on wood river. Many farm houses in that district are reported to have been swept away. Seven miles south of here, at Reward, Hunt's store and postoflBce were swept away. 1 Four thousand dollars was raised in Guthrie yesterday afternoon for the re lief of tbe sufferers.

The sta tistician of tbe United States mint in this city has just forwarded to tbe di- : rector of the mint at Washington the annual report of the gold and silver pro-, .' . . . . ... . duction of California, which covers the yield of 1896. According to returns re ceived at the mint, the gold yield of this state last year was $17,181,562, which is an increase over 1895 of $1,847,245 Tbe yield of silver was $4f 536, a decreased production for the yeaftcf $177,353. The total gold and silver product of the state for the year we . 417,604,026, which is a total increase over the previous year of $1,699,918. This is considered a very satisfactory showing.

Firs broke out in tbe Chesapeake & Ohio railroad company's pier No. 6 at an early hour yesterday morning and be fore the flames were checked damage to the extent of two million dollars had been done. Two of tbe company's immense piers were destroyed, three vessels were burned U the water's edge, a tug boat was entirely destroyed and eight persons injured, some of tbem seriously. The flames were discovered in pier No. 5 before 5 o'clock in the morning and spread with such rapidity that it was impossible to make any headway against them. A fierce north wind fanned the flames furiously and swept them across the ecks to pier 6, which was soon also burning furiously. The British steam ship Clintonia, which was loading with oil, tobacco and general merchandise at pier 5, was soon ablaz;. Tugs pulled her out into the middle of the river. She was burned to the water at 10 o'clock last night. , The Norwegian steamship Solveig next caught. The crew managed to escape by climbing down the hawsers to the pier. Meanwhile the Chesapeake & Ohio tug Wanderer, which had caught fire, had burned to the water's edge. The German sailing ship Bischoff also caught and she went to the bottom at 6 o'clock. The crew of 'bis vessel had a very nar row escape from being cremated and were only rescued with tbe greatest difficulty after tbe captain and boats wain had been badly burned. The heavy north wind and the heroic efforts of the fire department saved the large grain elevator of the Chesapeake & Ohio com pany from destruction. Big Hnk Fall. Norfolk, Va. April 28. Business circles weie startled last night by the news of the assignment of N. Burris, Son & Co., one of tiie most prominent and widely known banking firms in the south. The liabilities amount to between $340,000 and $350,000 and the assets are stated by the firm to be $400,000 available, wi'.h nominal assets much more. It is stated that the bank will pay out even and this is probab'y a fact. Captain Burris gives as the cause of the failure hard times and a great de mand for money, and though offers of 1 assistance were received from numerous banks at home and abroad it was deemed best for tbe protection of the depositors, as wellaa the firm, to assign at once. The bank was established in 1864 and did an immense businees. Is Uilure was a surprise to everyone, as it was considered one of the most substantial institutions of the sort in the country.

A REVOLT IS FEARED Revolutionary Feeling at Athens As lumAg a Serious Attitude. KING GEORGE COMPELLED TO GIVE IN Populace stirred op OTer the Preeent Staff of Army Officers and Demand Their Reenlfc M. Bailie Stir up a Oommo tlun by a Treat. London, April 27. The most serioui feature in the Graeco-Turkish emer gency is the revolutionary feeling dis played at Athens. Ex-Minister Ralli, leader of the prin ipal opposition group in the legislative assembly, threatened that unless the military staff was changed he would issue a proclamation to the people. His statements acted like oil upon fire and the popular excite ment has flared up Crowds assembled in the streets to discuss them and want ed to march to the palace to read tbem to King George. Fortunately heavy showers drove the people indoors. M. Delyannis, keenly alive to tbe ne tessity of immediate action, had an au dience with the king, and after the in- terview annouced that the staff of the crown prince would be recalled and that ex-Mmister Ralli, with three of hii nominees, General Smolenski, General Mavromihali and Colonel Dimopoulo, would bo appointed to replace them, M. Ralli, in a published interview, says: "The moment Constantino arrived at the seat of war the sole thought of the, responsible commanders was not to at tack or to withstand tbe Turks, but to effect a safe retreat if necessary. All orders emanated from the palace. Those issued by anyone else were ignored. When dispatches were sent to General Mavromihali he was not where he was supposed to be, having been moved on by superior orders." M. Ralli attended the council at the palace. The daily Telegraph's Athene corres pondent says today : "All of M. Ralli's conditions have been accepted. The king gives carte blanche to his ministers. As the public begins to learn the truth anger against the palace party increases and a feeling of hostility against M. Delyannis is j steadily growing. Late Monday night ! crowds were parading menacingly in the vicinity of the palace. Grant's Tomb Torn Down. New York, April 27. The little brick tomb in which the body of General Grant remained durinir the twelve . vears that the nermaront. mnr.im.ntai tomb was building, was torn down last night. Every brick and bit of stone which had gone to make up the s rac ture was carefully handled and piled in a heap. This h eap was fenced about and a guard placed over it so as to pro tect the bricks from relic hunters. The remains of the little tomb will not oe removed until alter the ceremo nies at tbe new tomb today and it is not known yet what will be done with it. The surviving members of General Grant's class at the military academy were entertained at dinner last night by Gen. James Grant Wilson at his borne here. The guests were Gen. Christopher C.
