The conference lasted three and a half hours, and at the It was stated that the meeting had accomplished that was satisfactory to either side.

Salonika, May 12.—There Is a conspicuous absence of Bulgarians from the streets of Salonika and a conspicuous presence of foreign flags flying from the windows. Turkish statistics being notoriously untrustworthy, the consuls estimate tbe population roughly between 100,000 and 150,000. It Is mainly made up of Jews and Greeks, and even the Bulgarian agent does not place the number of Bulgarians atyove 0,000, this estimate probably being too high by 1,000 or 2,000. The Levantine correspondents of the French and German journals have sent out absurd reports that 3,000 Bulgarians have been slain. Tbe Turkish official* have sought to minimize the losses, but no consul now estimates the number of deaths at over 100 or 150, although more than one gave credence to the exaggerated figures of tho earliest dispatches. Only flfty-flve Bulgarian deaths are positively known. Middlebass, Ohio, May 12.—Grover Cleveland may bo said to be a receptive candidate for the Democratic nomination for President in 1904. These questions were to Cleveland yesterday by a Cleveland Press correspondent:New York, May 12.—Employers in all branches of the building trades of this city are firm in the decision to continue the war which already has resulted in a complete cessation of the building Industry. Within a week a score of employers' associations for every stage of building from the excavation to the paint, whicll represent a combined capital of more than $500,- 000,000, will have formulated plans for the formation of a compact to contest what they assert to be the excessive and unreasonable demands of union labor.H. G. SHupp Expert Optician, 36 W. Market St., Wilk«sbarre. The barkentine arrived off Ocracoke helpless on Friday afternoon. The immigrants had been drinking sea water for Ave days, and food of all kinds had given out. The immigrants' baggage and part of tbe ship's deck load had to be burned to make as good condensation of salt water as possible. The next night a storm drove the ship ashore. All the immigrants are destitute and dependent on charity until the government takes charge of them. "Shall you be a candidate for the nomination?" The Great Northern Crlal*. "I cannot answer that question." "If the nomination is tendered you, would you accept it?" St. Paul, Minn., May 12—The situation on the Great Northern with reference to a strike Is regarded as extremely critical. • An ultimatum has been sent by the general committee declining the concessions offered by General Manager Ward at the conference held between himself and the committeemen and lnsistlhg on their original demands with regard to "double headers." ✓ BAR HAMMOCKS "I cannot answer that question at this time.

The majority of the Imported nonunion men hare been persuaded to return to Ihelr homes by the strikers, it is claimed. No violence has been threatened, and none Is anticipated in this city. • It is generally acknowledged that the Turkish authorities deserve unlimited credit for keeping in hand their undisciplined troops and the enormous anti- Bulgarian population here. A consul who witnessed scenes of the Armenian atrocities says that no massacre will take place in Macedonia without an order from the sultan. The keynote of all deliberations, they say, will be "no quarter given and no quarter asked." The possibility of arbitration will not enter into the question, for the proposition of whether all industries shall be brought under the subjection of union labor has been squarely put forward and will be squarely met.

He wrote "Abraham Lincoln," an ode; "Putnam the Brave," and other poems. Author and Reviewer. I.owell, Mass., April 12.—"The situation with cotton at 11 cents is very serious," said the treasurer of one of the big cotton mills this morning, "and it we could not grant a 10 per cent, increase with cotton at 9 cents we certainly cannot with the price two cents higher. It is not a question of strike. It is a question of cotton prices above spinning values." Then came the refusal of the Lumber Dealers' association and the building material men, the brickyards, the cement, plaster and lnth men to allow their yards to be thoroughly unionized. The result was that the two associations locked out their 4,000 employees and declared that not a stick of timber nor a brick should be supplied to a building In Manhattan and the Bronx boroughs. In this they were backed by tbe national associations. Incidental to this was the strike of the 2,000 structural iron workers because of a flglit between unions of engineers, and It was still further Intensified by the strike and lockout of inside Iron workers, employees of the Iron works of New York and vicinity.
