FOREIGNERS UNEASY.

PROSPECT OF AN UPRISING IN SYRIA. Angry Bedouins Demand the Release es Men Accused of Attacking Foreign Envoys—Mob Rule in Formosa—Other Foreign News of Interest. Constantinople, June 5. —Advices received here from Jiddah, Arabia, a seaport of Mecca and the scene of the recent murderous assault on the consular officers of Great Britain, Russia and France, announce that a panic pret ails there and that it is feared the Bedouins will attack the town. The latter are held responsible for the attack upon the consuls which resulted in the death of the British vice-consul, and a number of them were arrested in consequence. This has caused an angry feeling among the Bedouins, who demand the release of those apprehended and threaten to use force if their demand is not complied with. The situation is so serious that the Europeans of Jiddah are hastily seeking refuge on board the merchant vessels in the harbor. It is also stated in the advices from Jiddah .that the arrival there of the British Mediterranean squadron, numbering seventeen warships of various classes, is anxiously awaited even by the Turkish authorities, as the garrison is very weak. In addition to the arrest of those supposed to have been connected with the assault of the foreign consuls with the has been aroused by the quarantine measures which the Turkish government has been compelled to adopt at Mecca, at the instance of the powers, in order to prevent the introduction of cholera into northern ports. The envoys of Great Britain, Russia and France in this city are awaiting instructions from their governments in regard to the situation of affairs at Jeddah, as w’ell as regarding the refusal of the Turkish government to agree to the reforms in Armenia which have been proposed by the powers. In this connection the situation of affairs is unchanged. The porte's reply, however, is regarded as a momentary success for the military party. On the other hand, the policy of Turkey in this matter is criticised by the Ottoman statesmen, who regard the porte’s action as disastrous to Turkey.

STORM AT CINCINNATI.

Hurricane Follow a Heavy Rainstorm — Much Damage Done. Cincinnati, O., June 5.—The hot wave that has worried Cincinnati for the last week was broken yesterday by the fiercest storm of the year. A hurricane accompanied the storm, which did great destruction in many parts of the city. Houses were unroofed, trees snapped before the blast, and fences were torn down and glass windows were blown in all over the city. The storm lasted only an hour, and in that time seventy-eight one-hundredths of an inch of rain fell, and the mercury dropped from 92 degrees to 72 degrees. No fatalities are reported in the city. On the river the wind nearly caused a panic on the Coney Island steamer Bostona. The steamer Scotia was blown up the river for a mile, and then ran ashore during the gale. No one was injured. Rochelle Rockaway, aged 9, ran into the Central Police Station to get out of the rain. Just as she crossed the threshold the heavy door slammed and the knob struck her on the forehead, knocking her senseless and cutting a long gash in her forehead. Several houses and barns in Avondale were unroofed. Lightning struck a residence and set fire to the kitchen, while other portions of the roof of the house were blown in every direction.

DENY SENSATIONAL REPORTS.

Government Officials Say Diseased Pork Is Not Sold In America, Washington. June 5.—lt is said at the agricultural department there is no truth in the published reports that pork examined microscopically for export to Germany and France, and found to contain trichinae, is stamped by the inspectors as free from disease and so transported and sold in interstate commerce trade. Early in February Secretary Morton ordered all pork examined microscopically and if found to be affected with trichinosis tanked, but later it was decided that the present law did not give the secretary this authority. The enforcement of the order was, therefore, postponed until July 1. when the new law goes into effect. It is doubtful, however, whether the new law will give him power to cause the destruction of pork affected with trichinae.

RAIN QUENCHES FIRES.

Inhabitants of Northern Pennsylvania Breathe Easier. Bradford, Pa.. June 5. -A downpour of rain quenched the fires in this vicinity, and everything is quiet. Knapp’s Creek, N. Y., the town that was threatened with destruction, escaped with a loss of three dwellings and 150 oil-well rigs, and two tanks of oil. Between Dulles Center and Knapps Creek 200 rigs were destroyed, together with a large amount of standing timber. The oil fire at West Branch, two miles from here, was extinguished by the rain, and all fires in that direction are now under control. The total loss throughout the field will not fall far short of $1,000,000.

Archbishop Kenrick Not Deposed.

Rome, June 5—lt is said at the Vatican the action taken by the pope does not depose Archbishop Kenrick from his present title or position, nor does it appoint Archbishop Kain as his successor. It was made for the purpose of assisting in the management and administration of the church property of the archdiocese. It does not in any way make Archbishop Kain the successor of Archbishop Kenrick, but gives him such strong powers as coadjutor that he will be able to carry on the laborious work of managing the church property and affairs as though he were archbishop in name or fact. This will bring no deposition or removal of the venerable head of the archdiocese.

To Have the Race Again.

Chicago, June 5-In their effort to make the best of a bad muddle, the judges who were in charge of the Decoration, day road race have decided that the contest shall be run over again to settle the question as to who won the time prize. A new course will be selected. This decision in view of the very uncertain state of affairs and the absolute impossibility of giving justice to all the claimants is felt to be the most satisfactory arrangement that could be entered into. The race will take place Saturday

Iowa Silver Men Meet.

Des Moines. lowa. June 5.-William Jennings Bryan of Nebraska, addressed a large mass meeting here last night on the currency question. The meeting was very enthusiastic.

Will Fight in Dallas Oct. 21.

New York. June 5.—lt now looks as if the big fight was assured for Dallas, Tex., on October 21 next. Daniel Stewart who came here a few days ago as representative of the Dallas parties yesterday made what appear to be final arrangements for the event and both Corbett and Fitzsimmons say they will fight in Dallas. Sporting men about town all seem to think the fight is now ’ J era.aih;-

Thief Betrayed by a Woman.

Carson, Neb., June 5.-- The $80,000 in gold bars stolen from the Carson mint were recovered in a most unexpected way when the government officers dug up the treasure in the woodshed of William Picker, an employee in the melters and refiners department, who had not even been suspected. Pickler was betrayed by a woman with whom he had been living and whom he had abused.

St. Ignace, Mich., June 5.—Citizens of St. Ignace propose to honor the last resting place of Father Marquette with a monument befitting the courage and enterprise of the explorer and missionary, who in 1670 established his Jesuit college, military station and missionary headquarters here. Arrangements are now being made for a state memorial service here Aug. 6.

TO BE INVESTIGATED.

WRECK OF THE COLIMA TO BE LOOKED INTO. Federal Government Will Institute an Inquiry Into the Cause of the Disaster Claims That the Boat Was Overloaded —Looking for Survivors. San Francisco, Cal., June 5.—The federal government Is said to have decided to make a thorough investigation of the Colima disaster, which cost so many lives. It is not improbable that the state authorities may take a hand in the affair and there is already talk of criminal proceedings. The inquiry, it is intended, shall be thorough in every respect. One of the first questions to be discussed in the investigation is the manner in which the ship was loaded. Charges of the most serious character have been made. Mazatlan, June 5.—A telegram received from Acapulco states that the Barracouta arrived there with Chilberg of Seattle, who was seen by Officer Hansen immediately after the disaster on one of the life rafts with six other men, having two oars. The Barracouta also has aboard Johnson, Gonzales, Peters and Crow. There is no news of the Manzanillo survivors found by the steamer Mazatlan. These are supposed to have been those seen in the boat with the first officer and four others and they will probably soon arrive at Mazanillo. There is no news of the purser, who was in the water when the chitef officer tried to pick him up. A telegram direct from Coahuaya says that no women had been saved and no bodies are coming ashore. The survivors from the second life raft are J. J. Noonan, Jose Pegueros, A. S. Martin and two others.

Japan to Be a Competitor.

San Francisco, June 5. —Charles E Pierce, a jute and cotton manufacturer of St. Louis, who has just returned from a business tour through the orient, is of the opinion that Japan will soon become an important factor In the manufacturing industries of the world. He says that the reports of the United States consuls show that the competition which the United States has to fear Is not that of Europe, but of East India and- Japan. He visited Japan to investigate the advisability of removing the works of his company to the orient, and addressed the Chamber of Commerce of this on his investigation.

Iowa Silver Men In Session.

Des Moines, June 5.—General J. B. Weaver and other leaders of the silver party in the west are in attendance at the state silver meeting today.

Bryan of Nebraska spoke at a mass meeting last night. The conference today is non-partisan, and it is understood that no effort will be made to nominate a ticket. The silver wing of the democratic party has a conference scheduled for tomorrow. Most of those here today will stay over for it.

ARMOURS CHARGE FRAUD.

Attempt to Foreclose Mortgage Implicates Paul Schulz. Tacoma, Wash., June 5.— In attempting to foreclose the $1,350,0000 mortgage against the Tacoma Railway and Motor company, the New York Guaranty and Indemnity company has encountered the Armours of Chicago, who have set out, according to the statement of the local stockholders, to either compel a compromise or show up the alleged street railway wrecking methods of the General Electric company. Incidentally the suit has brought out a misappropriation of $750,000 of the local company's bonds by Paul Schulz, who committed suicide when his creditors pushed him to the wall. The Armours became interested in the local street railway company several years ago, when it had $750,000 in capital stock. On this Schulz issued $1,500,000 in bonds and disposed of $1,350,000 through the New York Guaranty and Indemnity company. The Armours are innocent stockholders, and. not being represented in the issue of bonds, claim the bond issue was excessive and unwarranted. In placing these bonds, it is alleged, Schulz made use of a dummy syndicate. Another feature of the deal was the purchasing of a suburban railway for $350,000 when it was valued at bub $69,000, besides turning over to the seller a bonus of $141,000. All this the Armour stockholders claim was done in collusion and with a, view to permitting the General Electric company to wreck the local street railways.

REBOUNDS AT THE END

WHEAT AT CHICAGO CLOSES HIGHER, AFTER A LOSS. Belling Tendency in Grain Markets Is Checked After the First Hour—Corn Stronger —Closing Prices on the Wall Street Exchange. Chicago, June 5.—After two or three hours of fair activity, with better than 1c range in prices, the wheat market at midday showed 1/2c decline from yesterday’s closing. July opened 76-1/4c to 75%c, %c to l%c lower, got rally to 76%c, sold 76%c, then up to 77c and again off to 76%c. September sold off to 77c, up to 78c and held 77%c. Then came Bradstreet’s exhibit of world's stocks. It was called bearish and there was a quick drop in prices to 76c July to 77c September. There were rains in Ohio, Tennessee•and around the lakes, although no rain fall near Chicago. English cables were easier and reported indifferent demand. World's shipments were again over’ 9,000.000 bu last week. Baltic and sundry ports shipped 6,000,000, Indian and American the other 3,000,000. Export clearances were light at about 200,000 both wheat and flour four ports. Bradstreet's gave American available stocks at a decrease of about 2,800,000 bu, and Europe and afloat at an increase of 2.488,000, net decrease in. world's stocks, 309,000 bu. The trade was puzzled by the crop conditions. Several Indiana counties (Madison, Tippecanoe and others) were reported as low as 10 and 25 per cent of a crop. But the buying around 76c on each dip made the sellers timid. The talk was plentiful enough for 75c today and 70c this week July wheat, but the people who have been hurt know that talk will not break the market. From 76c on the third dip the July price recovered at once to 76%c, September 1c over.

Wheat had excellent support the last half hour. Bradstreet s decrease at nearly 3,000,000 bu in American available stocks was, on second thought, not a feature to sell wheat on very freely. Duluth wired export sales of 100,000 bu and 50,000 to winter wheat milling points. Baltimore wired that export houses had best Liverpool inquiry in weeks, and only ocean freights preventing business. Cash sales here w’ere Called 150,000 bu, chiefly to Toledo, Detroit and Indianapolis. There was talk of a big local house which “put” 3,000.000 bu at the close yesterday being very numerous over the surprising rally. The bearish feeling vanished as prices recovered. July went to 77%c and closed at 77%@77%c. Conservative people in the corn trade believe in another upturn in the corn market regardless of crop prospects. Corn will, they claim, be scarce before the summer is over. Chicago is now getting one-third the receipts of ten days ago. This morning cars were 313 and estimated for tomorrow 300. Atlantic ports cleared 142.000 bu. Bradstreet's gave available stocks at increase of 1,888.000 bu, but this was not surprising in view of the enormous receipts of late. Corn was helped up by the bull campaign in wheat, and naturally goes back With wheat. This gave the low price this morning at 50%c July and 51%c September. There was an early rally to 50%@51c and 51%c. Later when wheat got its strong recovery corn moved up quickly to 51%c July to 52%c September, %c over the close yesterday. Provisions showed little action, July pork sold as low as $12.37% and closed $12.47%c, 5c lower September, $12.75, 5c off. Lard and ribs closed 5c lower a]) around. Quotations were. Articles. High.
