THE MUZZLING ORDER AT NEWPORT, What the Dogs Think of It. The order which provided for the muzzling ot all dogs in the city borough of Newport was revoked this morning, and whilst the canines are profoundly glad that there is one less terror in their environment, they cannot for the life of them understand how the humans whom they own as masters and friends ever could have imagined that muzzlling was going to achieve anything. Even the advocateis of the measure bave long since receded from the position of good being accomplished, and fall back on the minor consolation that the streets have been rid of several dozen ours, ownerless dogs, and canine pariahs. This is all very well, but there seems, to the dogs, a terrible lot of circumlocution about. The dogs, after carefully readiDg the revoking notice affixed to the railings of the Town Hall, have held a meeting at which, whilst presenting a humble address to her Majesty on the occasion of her long reign — she is suoh a friend of dogs, you kuow they have requested her, in case she should be pleased to throw a knighthood to Mr WaLter Long, the author of general muzzlement, she should be graciously pleased to make it Sir Muzzling Long The Clerk of the Peace for the County of Mon- mouth can soarctly expect any favour but his evident depressed condition during the three Months, and the soaroity of button holes" having been, they think, a sufficient punishment, uad they hope few of the anathemas which have followed him will cause him to suffer a tithe of the misery, pain, and sense of indignity they haft been called upon to endure. They understand that Alderman Jones, the elfairrasu I of the eomouttee which enforced the order in Newport, early repented, or repented soon after a big dog at a friend's house suspiciously smelt at his calves, and they fully and freely lift the ban from off his neck and give him unabridged leave and license to verbally worry any heedless brother alderman or T.C. who tries a throw with him at the Council meetings. Alderman Bear, their champion during the terrible time, th?y mean to reward in a characteristic fashion, bub the arranSp"ll^n^ of the committee are not quite compleod, ftud secrecy must be maintained tor a while.

r DEATH OF A WRESTLER. I I A Famous Record. I With the death of John Ivison, just announced, at the age of 78, one of the last linkt-if not quite the last—with the palmy days of wrestling in the Cumberland and Westmorland style has been broken. Born in 1819, he became a wrestler at Carlisle when a lad of 16, and travelling about from ring to ring he, in the course of a long career, estab- lished a reputation as one of the first rank of wrestlers, especially in light-weight competitions, which took place not only in Cumberland and Westmorland, but also in Northumberland, Durham, Lancashire, and elsewhere. At Preston Guild sports ho won the light-weight prize, and was second to George Donaldson for the 121t 101b prize. He wrestled at the Preston Guild sports on three occasions. His favourite "chip JI was the buttock," and his wrestling weight was 10-it 71b. He was not, however, in the habit of confining himself to ligbt.weight com- petitions. He boldly tried his skill among the heavy weights, and on many occasiona he won noted triumph, over the best heavy- weight men of the period. In 1845 he came second to the celebrated heavy-weight champion, Tom Longmire, and won a first prize in competition with some big men at Liverpool. The same year he was sscond to Jonathan Whitehead, a well-known wrestler in his day, at Carlisle, and he held his own against the re- doubtable George Donaldson and James Jameson, of Newcastle. In 1854 he threw Henri, the French champion (French style) At Newcastle, the same year in which he won the list prize, and divided with his brother Henry the heavy-weight prize at Durham. Ivison was a shoemaker by trade. Two or three years ago the infirmities of age began to tell upon him, and he had a long and severe illnes, the remit of an attack of influenza. He rallied a few weeks ago, but it was only a temporary improvement, and he died on Sunday morning.

I THE DOMESTIC SERVANT, I A Symp0sium.. I The domestic servant question is always with us. It is an inexhaustible topio of conversation when two or three ladies meet together, and forms the subject of a symposium in the June number of The Laoly's Realm. Susan, Countess of Malmesbury, writes :—During the seventeen years she has been mistress of a house, she has observed a great improvement in servants in the matter of sobriety and insists that honesty should be bracketed with sobriety. The Countess relates two instances of wanton extravagance which came under her notice in her own household. A kitchenmaid threw all the loaves remaining on the table after every meal into the swill tub and the head coachman at the close of the servants' dinner buried the joint in the shrubbery in order that there might be no hash next day The Countess comments on the dh- loyalty to each other of ladies in giving charac- ters." Her advice, in conclusion, ig-Give good wages, be considerate, kind in illness, but strict as to tha duties to be performed and, finally, be very careful in the matter of character in taking a servant. Miss Rosa R. Carey urges that a mistress should show her servant that she was a real interest in her, and looks upon her as one of the family, Mrs Hawei sand Mrll A. Riohardson are pretty much in agreement as to the conces- sion of more liberty. All these Jadies, however, ay no stress on the point that the domestic servant is mostly inefficient at the outset, and that the attempt to teach her her duties often gives rise to the friction which results in a change of place.

SCENE IN A MENAGERIE. I A Lion Tamer Attacked. I Ironbridga annual pleasure fair was held on Saturday, and amongst the shows was Mr P. Oollins's menagerie, which included the lion Wallace. In the evening, when Lawrence (the lion keeper) was having the den, Wallace, a ferocious animal, attacked and clawed him and ripped open all the veins at the back of his right hand, and the lion had to be driven back with red-hot irons. Lawrenoe was compelled to visit a local doctor, who dressed the wound. Returning, the brave keeper again entered the den, when the animal clawed him again, necessitating another visit to the doctor. The manager wisely closed the show for the night. Wallace attacked its keeper at Willenhall and Birmingham, and in London it attacked a coloured keeper, who died from the injuries.

CARDIFF 100 MILES C.C. | Qualifying Run, Pluoky Hiding Under Adverse Conditions. The qualifying run of the Cardiff Hundred Miles Club, which was held on Saturday, was one that was productive of some plucky riding. The weather was very bad, rain having fallen before the starters left Cardiff. Sixteen started from Cardiff, but on leaving Newport three had disappeared, and only thirteen were left) in the running. They encountered a tremendous quantity of mud and raiu, but persevered, and, notwithstanding numerous croppers, got home under time. The first batoh arrived home half an hour inside time, and the others between that and ten minutes of time. The names of those who qualified are Messrs R. Thomas, P. E. Lewis, L. Wmk!, C. Morgan, R. H. Berry, S. G. Carpenter, P, Williams, Fred Jones, E. Morgan, W, Duffy, C. Elton, J. E. Hemming*, and A. W. Swash, Of the above riders, W. Duffy is but 15 years of age, and considering the state of the road his perfor manoe must be regarded as a very promising one. The success of the run was in a great measure due to Messrs W. G. Wakley, T. J. Wakley, and H. Tolley, who were indefatigable in their labours to bring the men home safely.

LOCAL AMUSEMENTS. I Theatre Royal (Cardiff). I The play which holds the boards at the Theatre Royal, Cardiff, this week is an uncommonly attractive one. Rosemrry-Ttiat'-s for Remem- brance is a play of a character that we too seldom see. It might be described us a study in emotion. It is the story of an incident in the life of Sir Jasper Thorndyke, an incident in which a man well on for middle age is touched for a few hours by a deep emotion—the emotion of love. An old friend points out to him that his honour forbids that be should allow himself to be mastered by the sweet in- fluence for the reason that the girf is another's. Sir Jasper nobly bears his lot. In tho last act half a century has gone aud Sir Jasper, old and feeble, is ètgain vividly reminded ot the inoideut of 50 years before. Again the old emotion comeswandering back,and o'er his musings the curtain falls. The piece is intensely artistic in its conception, and when the part of Sir Jasper is in the bands of suoh a consummate aotor as Mr Edward Rochelle, who is an old favourite in Cardiff, it is a play not to bo missed. As Professor Jogram, the quaint, tho eccentric but true hearted triend of the hero, Mr Harold Maxwell excelled himself, and that is saying a good deal. Mr Frank Harrison, as Captain Cruicksbank, R.N., was the bluff hearty old Aea dog the author meant him to be. The part of Dorothy Cruicksbank, as played by Miss Ethel Kay, was distinctly clever, her acting in the third act being admirable. All round tho company is high class. It is a piece that needs well playing, and as we saw it performed on Monday Dight it is woU calculated to delight even the most critical play. goer. Our lady correspondent writes :-The fashions in the charming play of Rosemary are ns they should be in the Jubilee year-early Victorian, when short-waisted frocks and bunches of aide curls were beloved of out grandmothers. We do nob dress our housemaids in the old-fashioned style favoured by Priscilla,who, in her lilac gown, bodice out slightly low, with kerchief ntiatly pinned, and large white cap, is an excellent tepreaentation of the maids of our mother's young days. Dolly wears a girlish frock of white muslin with sash oftpink. Her large black velvet hat tied under the chin suited her admirably, and was in keeping with the old. shiolled travelling cloak of soft grey cashmere, uur.med with bands of black velvet. Mm Cruikshauk's wrap is strongly reminiscent of an Algerian blaukot. Dolly in the last scene wore a pale blue gown with large Leghorn bonnet, trimmed with feathers and pin): bows. Special Performance. I On June 23rd a special performance will, by the kind permission of Mrs JSdwiud Fletcher, be given at the Theatre Royal, Cardiff, in aid of the new seamen's hospital. The piece to be per- formed on the occasion in question will be My Artful Valet," a highly amusing comedy. The performance will be under the patronage of the Mayor and Corporation. Grand Theatre (Cardiff). I Hoodman blind, or blind man's bnff, was known and practised with hilarity in Good Queen Bess's time; but those who wish to see a some- what serious and exciting side of the gnmo should visit tho Grand Theatre, in Westgftte-street, where the Balmains and their company depict in, high dramatic form several e2)isodes .of love and joalousy and the causes and consequences involved. The plot is melo- dramatic, and, from that point of view, intelli- gibly worked out by the authors, Mr Henry Arthur Jones and Mr Wilson Barrett. It deals with the loves of husband and wife, and the scheming of villains who so blind the husband with wicked tales as to induce a frenzied jealousy, whence much trouble comes; but interspersed throughout are many relieving elements of vvit and humour, as well as several interesting old-time and enjoyable English country scenes and customs. The centre-point of the plot is the twin-like resemblance of one sister to another, Nance (wife of Jack Yeulctt) and her sister Jess, a waif who is known to only a few, the mischief wnrked by the vile scheming of Lezzard and Kridge to dis- possess the heroine of property and husband, and the, deception played upon Jack as to his wife's faithfulness. As in most dramas of this character, the villany is discovered, the plot laid bare, and hero and heroine are, after many vicissitudes, reunited with more than ordinary-day celebration. However, this is accomplished by splendid acting aud brilliaus and itppropriate staging, the scenic settings being magnificent. Mr Rollo Balmam is a splendid Jack Yeulett, and shows in fine histrionic way the pussions which might move a jealous husband, whose mind had been poisoned by the suggestion and bogus prooffl" of his wife's unfaithfulness. In the dual characters of Nance Yeulett and JOB*, Miss Sara Mignon Balmain has much to do, and displays a versatility in acting and stage business" which arc of a high order. Mr C. Aldin (as Mark Lc-zzard, and Mr H. A. Clarke as Kvidge, the villains), played thoir parts well, and so did A. Hall Meiiaios as the cold-hearted Tom Latiker. The friendly contrasb was most ably represented by Mr Fred Selby as Bill) Chibb]A. the blacksmith Miss Eve Cowley Polhill as Polly Chibbles, and Art- R. Cowley Pol hill as Inspector Jerming ot Scotland Yard. Apropos of Polly Chibbles, wo may remind readers that Miss Polhill appeared in Little Lord Ffiuntleroy "when that play was la-At reproduced in Cardiff. Hoodman Blind" was well received by a large house on Monday evening, and the leading aClors and actresses were several times recalled. The Empire (Cardiff). I Though the marked. merlb of the programme submitted bad attracted very large audiences to the handsome Queen-street Palace of Varieties, the hall proved cool to a degree, the ingenious, sliding roof being requisitioned and the nooessary ventilation being provided without the droaded accompaniment of draught. From overture to National Anthem the programme went with a swing, and the various turns were frequently interpolated with general applause. None of the eight turns could with jusuice be classed below good, yet, of tho lot, two stood out in nnmistakeable relief— that contributed by Miss Kate Joines, the well- known Gaiety comedienne, and that presented by Mr John Tiller's oompany. Miss James gave m song two excellent ciiaraCtor studies in her inimitable style, and, as all dancers publioly introduced by Bit: Tiller, his troupo gave numerous graceful illustrations of the berpsichorean art in the course of a divert- ing musical and spectacular ballet-sketch, entitled Saucy Susan." The Phasey troupe of eight la.dy dancers added to their already high reputation, and "Leg B«iil," a farcical prison sketch, was well produced by Wal Pink nnd 0.). Vii fco, the musical king," was also well received he is an old favourite, and he gained many more admlrer8. In Arthur Rosedon O^rdifi&^w re-wel- comed "oneof their own," for before changing his nnIDe and joining the profession, Mr Rosedon was to be heard at all local smokers." He sang a capital song, and made a quiok change cf costume between each verse, and every bit of the applnn^o he received was gained by his cleverness. In Miss Blarie Ray, singer and dancer, the audience were given a performer a notch above the ordinary, and after winning a well-deserved encore with his first effort, Frank Halter, comedian, lost the good opinion of many with his encore ditty. Mr Stoll announoes that he has made provision for the safe storing of the bicycles of visitors from a distanoe during their stay at the Empire—a boon whioh doubtless will be much appreciated. The Empire (Newport), -_L I,- As jNowporton.ans will prooaoiy not, nave another opportunity of uefting the marvellous living-picture producer, tho Lnwure Cinomalo- graphe, for a long time to corw" the large attsnd- ance of Mufi d.iy at. the comforahlø l'»H in Charles- street is likely to be maintained during t he weelc.

JAMESON RAID. The Official Inquiry, tO-DAVS SITTING OF THE SOUlif AFRICAN COMMITTEE. Mr Labeuchere's Charges Again Denied. LONDON, Tuesday.—The Select Committee on South African Affairs resumed to-day, when there were again present a number of members of both Houses of Parliament, together with the same counsel and leading Rand magnates who have on each occasion been in attendanoe. Prior to commencing public business the Committee held their usual private consultation, which continued for over half an hour. When the Committee took their seats at a quarter to 1 o'olock Lord Robert Cecil said that before the Committee proceeded to business he had to apply on behalf of his client, Dr. Harris, that he might be allowed to return to the witness chair to deal on oath with certain allegations made against him in the letter from Mr Labouchere last Tuesday. Dr. Harris felt that though in terms and formality that letter was an apology, in reality it amounted to a reiterabion of the charges in a more damaging and more dangerous because in a less definite form. In that letter there was no expression of regret for having made the charge. The Attorney-General: You need not argue the point now that you have made the application. Lord R. Cecil: I would rather state my reasons for the application before the Committee consider it. The Chairman You had better leave it to the Committee. Lord R. Ooil If the Committee teU me I am not to be heard I must submit. The Chairman Do not put it in that way you have clearly stated your point and the Committee will consider it. Mr Beit fleoalled. Mr Beit was then recalled to the witness chair, but neither Mr Bigliam nor any of the other Unionist fneini)erh of the Committee put any question to him. The witness, before leaving, read a statement denying Mr Labouohere'a charges that he had either rigged the market or used the Ui tenders' grievances as a pretext, offering that the books of his firm might be inspected to prove the accuracy of his denial, aud appealing to the Committee to cull upon Mr Labouchere either to withdraw or to substantiate the charges he had made against witness. Witness then withdrew. Proxy fer Mr Rhodes. Mr Rochforb Maguire was then called, and replying to the Chairman, said he was not a. director of the South Africa Company, but WM proxy for Mr Rhodes. He attended the meetings in 1895. He kuew what was going on in Johan- nesburg, but had no knowledge that Dr. Jameaon was going to enter the Transvaal, nor did he receive information from Mr Rhodes as to the Jameson plan." He was not in communication with Mr Rodes during the last months of 1895, but heard from Dr. Rutherford Harris substantially what was going on. Witness paid visits to the Colonial Office with reference to the Protectorate, but with reference to no other question. Cross-examined by Sir W. Harcourt: On the board he represented the views of Mr Pwhodos. Mr Beit and Mr Harris were frequently in communication, but witness could not charge his memory with any conversations as to the plans of the revolutionaries. He understood communi- cations from Johannesburg came generally to Mr Bait's offioe. They were not addressed to the Chartered Company. Witness did not believe there were communications to England after Dr. Harris left in December on the subject of the plan. How did you become aware of what was going on at Johannesburg and Pitsani in Decen-bor ?— On that subject Miss Shaw had telegrams. She had three telegrams ?— Y to". I think that is ali there were. I was not kept informed there was no neceMity, I had cables of my own, but not with reference to the insurrection, I am not aware that I made any formal statement to the board, after the raid. They were naturally very much concerned. Sir Wm. Harcourt continued the cross- examination by quoting Mr Chamberlain's letter to the directors after his first learning of the raid, uud asked witness at the meeting of the boii-d- at which that letter WM read-if be communicated to the board facts within his knowledge. Wiainwin I dn't think I made a formal com- munioation to the board, but I spoke to one or two direotors. Further questioned as to the knowledge of the directors, Mr Maguire said the Duke of Fife after the raid knew of the expweted revolution, that troops had been placed at Pitsani in order to be in a position to assist if necessary, and on the uuderatandmg that the assistance would be with the consent of the High Commissioner. Sir H. Campbell-Bannerman Who understood that assistance would be given with consent of the High Commissioner ? Wikbefba Well, I certainly understood it, and I thought the directors knew is. Sir W. Harcourt: Did you inform the directors that you understood assistance, if necessary, would be given with the consent of the High Commissioner?—Yes, that was my understanding. When were the board made QcquAiuted that Mr Rhodes was the principal promoter of the insur- tcction 1-1 oannob tell. In reply to further questions by Sir W. Harcourt, witness said that intimation as to the part which Mr Rhodes had taken at Pitsani was made to the board immediately after the raid. Was no statement made to the board as to the part Mr Rhodes had taken at Johannesburg, his brother being there to organise the military part of the insurrection, with unlimited power to draw money ?—The position of his brother there was known it was reported In the newspapers, but I don't think that the power to draw money was known until afterwards. In was communicated to witness that Mr Beit had given unlim-ted power bo draw money. Did Mr Rhodes make any statement on that subject to the company when ho came to London in February? I think the compiny iben understood pretty wall that ho was connected with what had taken place. Was it then well known to the members of the board that Mr Rhodes had contributed £ 65.000 towards the expanses of the insurrection Y es, I think so. And that Mr Bit hAd contributed still more largely ?-No. Why did the question of the resignation of Mr Rhodes and yourself arise in April and not in February ?—I was sitopty Mr Rhode's proxy, aad ceased my position whenever be ceased to b& a director. I had privately wired to Mr Rhodes advising him not to resign. Did you not think the part he had tnken was inconsistent with his remaining as managing director of the Chattered Company !-I thought his connection with the Chartered Company was essential to the future success of Rhodesia, and that is still my view. Is that your opinion in view of the necessity of maintaining good relations with the South African Republic ?-With South Africa generally. Why was Mr Rhodes'* resignation accepted in Jt%ne ?-Bee.tise the mttjoriby of the Board did not agree with my view. Air J. Ellis pressed witness as to whether on 9th January, the directors knew of the R.liodes plan," and Mr Maguire, disclaiming responsibility for tho phras. said ha certainly thought tha directors by that time bad knowledge ot the fact thut troops had besn placed at 1>ittni, but when he fixed them td* the knowledge lie desired to say that it was subj ect to the under- standing that the troops wore not to be moved withoub the consent of the High Commissioner. Ho did not think Mr Rhodes made any specifio statement to himself on his arrival iu fcnghind in February. Ho knew that Mr Rhodes did not state the whole truth on his visit to the Colonial Office of Fobuary 6th. Mr Chamberlain interposed with a reminder to Mr Ellis that on that occasion he (the Colonial Secretary) told Mr Rhodes that he was likely in a sense to be his judge, and that he bad better not say anything that would incriminate himself Mr Rhodes did not then laY a word of what took place. Replying to Mr Labouchere, witness said it was thought rigtib that the Colonia Office should see the telegrams taken there ill June. lIe thought they were stskfnl for i (To be continuid in a later edition.)

I PEACE NEGOTIATIONS. I Armistice Extended. I I FRESH INS I RUCTIONS TO EDHEM PASHA. I MASSACfN CRETE, CONSTANTINOPLE, Monday Afternoon. An irade has just been issued aud communicated to the Powers, whereby the Sultan agrees to an armistice for 15 day?, to date from the 30th insb. Fresh instructions h?a conseqnent/y been sent to EAhe P"ha -Reuter. I The Collective Note. The special correspondent of the Daily Telc. graph, wiring from Athens on Monday, says I am enabled to state upon excellent authority that, in reply to the request formulated by the Hellenic Government, tho Great Powers have already presented a Collective Note, calling upon the Porte in emphatic terms to cousent to a pro- longation of the armistice until such time as peace shall have been definitely concluded, and there is no doubt whatever that this request will be acceded to. Furthermore, on the 28Mi instant the foreign Ambas- sadors at Constantinople presented a Col- lective Note to the Ottoman Foreign Minisiter expressing their desire to confer as soon as possible with the Porte touching the conditions of peace, which have not yet been put into shape. When the arrangements have been made for such a conference, the Powers wiU invite the Hellenic Government to be represented by a deltgate. Certain of the Powers have also given instructions to their Ambassadors in Constantinople to ex- press their desire that the Tarkish troops should be recalled from Tbessaly as speedily as the conditions of the case allow, as otherwise the entire harvest will be forfeited, and about 38,000.OOOf will be needlessly addei to Greece's losses. I Greece and Financial Embarrassment. A Vienna correspondent telegraphs <lcoord- ing to Foreign Office information Gre*co has yielded to the pressure of circumstances and has addressed a new appeal to the Great Power?, eutreatiug them to hasten the conclusion of peace. This new Greek enunciation is expected to counteract the bad impression produced by the last declaration. The enormous expenses entailed by the maintenance of the army, amounting to a million of drachmas daily, and also tho intense misery of Thescalian fugitive?, have wrought at length a decisive result upon the Greek mind. Financial embarrassment faces Greece, which is haunted besides by t he spectre of famine. Regarding the war indemnity, Greece petitions only to be called on for payment of the actual outlay of Turkey during the war. The Powers consider this request justified, and wiii represent the matter thus to the Pürte. According to confidential reports received from Athens the Anti-Dynastic feeling is rapidly decreasing. The official invitation of England to the Crown Prince to attend the Queen's Jubilee in London is regarded as a special act of goodwill on the part of England towards Groace. Greece and the War Indemnity. Tho Athens correspondent of the Daily Chronicle says :—An opinion, emanating from certain Gorman bankers at Constantinople, is expressed that Greece is able to pay a war in. demnity of eight million pounds, This means 200 million drachma", requiring a service from the Budget of twelve millions at least per annum. To anyone haviug the least knowledge of Greek finances the idea must appsar ridiculous. The only avniIablo sum from the Budget is one million drachmas, which the Government intended for the service of Greek bondholders. This sum, if the Powers choose, oan go towards the war indemnity, but any further amount must inevitably oome from the foreign loinii service. After the Russo-Tuikisli War it was decided that Turkey should pay the war expenses. Russia i calculated these at one billion roubles. Of this sum, however, Turkey" was only condemned to pay one-fiftb, and this without any guarantee. Twenty years have passed and Turkey has paid only 15.000,000 roubles. Why, it is said, should not Greece be called npou to pay Turkey what Turkey was condemned to pay Russia, viz., one-fifth of her present war expenses- This would be only fair, and Turkey could hardly protest, for the Powers would be treating Greece as they had treated Turkey on a similar occasion I Buitai) aiid Eiigistiid. ..r..eut.r'l\ Agency has received a communication from the Turkish Embassy of the following telegram under date Constantinople, Monday "The Porto gives a formal denial to a rumour circulated in London that his Im}>erial Majesty the Sultan had complained to a foreign Ambassador in Constantinople with regard to the persistence of Great Britain in the matter of reforms, and that his Majesty lield England responsible for the Armenian question as well as for the Cretan insurrection, and finally that his Majesty had consequently no trust in Groat Britain. All these reports are entirely without foundation."—Reuter. The Reported Unrest in Athens. The Greek Charge d'Affanes has addressed the following communication to Reuter's Agency for pnblic:\tion "Greek Legation in London, Monday—It has come to the knowledge of the Greek Government that alarmist reports are in circulation in ho Press, according to which public order in < n is in danger, a popular movement again; "6 Dyn •.sty is threatened, and dissensions between the Crown and Government) bave ariefJlI.

CANKA, Sunday Night.—The Cretan chiefs at Candia, acceding to the repeated warnings of their countrymen in Greece, have adopted quite a different attitude of Ivt-, aud on Friday last they promised to repair the water conduits which had been destroyed. Bat the same night a party of Baslu-Bitzouk?, without the least provocation, entered a Christian village in the vicinity nnd massacred 15 Cretans, of whom two wero women. This will undoubtedly lead to retaliation, and bring on fresh ectr.. ti,)ns. -Daily News. CANKA, Monday.—On '.Ii!>! 25th inst. it party of Turks sallied oui of tho town of C.,india at midnight, and proceeding to the hamlet of Galiva, in the envirione, there massacred 14 12 beiug men and t wo women. Th* Cretan Christians are exasperated at this outrage. They declare the commandant at Candia to bo responsible for continual raids of armed Turks from thnt town, an d poiut out that such incidents have not occurred at Cztrpa or R >thymnop.—Reuter. CANDIA, Alai,cley.-rlver since the departure of the Greek troops tho insurgents have been anxious to demonstrate their adhesion to the autonomy scheme. Oa the other hand, much discontent prevails among the 50,000 Mussulman refugees here who regard Cretan autonomy as equivalent to annihilation of the Mahommodan element in Crete. The Governor having caused two of the most active Mussulman malcontents to bo arrested, a mob of mere than 2.000 refugees gathered in front of the Konak demanding their release. The Mucossarif refned to accede to this demand, and the crowd finally yielding to the counsel of Muhommedan notables dispersed. Refugees are more than over resolved not to return to their villages unless receiving satisfactory assurances that permanent security for life and property will be guaranteed to them by the new regime, and unless funds are advanced to them for rebuilding their dwellings and purchasing agricultural implements.—Renter. t""f,CANPlA, Monday, Lit,ir.-Tlie Governor has now ordered the release of the two Mussulman prisoners,—Reuter. The Parte and Egypt.

It apooars that it was the wish of the proprietors that the present week should not be adopted as a stop week. ab at other work- but such stoppage could otherwise be arranged, but this the men would not I'grel. to, so that the whole of the new works are at a standstill. The two mills working in the old work, however, restarted yesterday all usual, theso not being sffectod by the C,%nRdA question. Notice was posted up at. tho work? on Saturday terminating all contracts in 14 days.

Gossip and Incidents. [SPECIAL TZLKGR" TO THE ZCBO. "jI EPSOH. Tuesday.—The Epsom Summer Meet- ing commenced under conditions which promised well, as the heavy showers have got the course into perfect order, and at this moment further rain threatens from a leaden and oppve?3ive sky. The start of the racing was weak enough, possibly owing to the general belief that Crest- fallen had the Craven Stakes at his merey. It, however, led to more excitement than any of the layers of odds could possibly have anticipated. Crestfallen was wail beaten below the distance, and (jruardstnan, who had made every inch of the running, managed to hold his lead to the end from Nunsuch. This filly WM very badly ridden by a boy named Southall, who actually did not seem to know what to do with her. He rolled about in the last three furlongs, and at the close could not keep her straight, eo that the lad's erratic riding was responsible for the defeat of Nonsuch.

Moriaye, to a local man, who sent her to Nunthoriv, and the produce turning out w(4i Colonel North bought the youngster for SOp. 0:1 Ills death Numnah passed into Lord Beres- f->rd's hsnds for 520gg, and confciuger.cies, which Colonel North disputed, were freely aiicwed the breeder by her new owner. Her breeder, Mr Ronaldson, who is a city man, knew very little about racing, but profited well last year, as the filly won several races. It may be mentioned that he afterwards sent La Morlaye to Nunthrope, but she slippad twins, and was shot the other day. If the bookmakers started well in febting home » 20 to 1 chsnce for Ci-estfallen' raco. they lost a bit ovfi the Juvenile Plate-for which for who Hydrangea was very strongly supported. This blue-green tilly, puioliased after winning a maifl*n plate at Newmarket by Captain Mnche'l for £ 400, now did that veteran a tutu, and was then sold to Lord Crewe for 480gs. It was a pretty piece of riding on Morny Cannon's part, but no prettier than Wood's display on J ,,¡:v Flash. Wood's luck this year is certainly deserved, Mr Martin Rucker might have done well, as runner np with Lady Flash, to have bought Hydrangea, but he did not thick so till too late, though Captain Macbell, if not wishing to keep her, thought the filly fully worth 700 gnmeas. There was nothing whatever worthy of notice in the attempted speculation on the Derby, the race, since Berzek's compulsory retirement, having completely dried up in the matter of ring business. Galtee More was seen by few perftons this morning ridden by Wood and accompanied by Glenn-.organ, he galloped several fnrlongs in the j ram, but Darling informs me the horso is in first-rate fettle, and will strip to-morrow fit to run for a kingdom, that there is no lack of interest in the sffiir, despite the absence of pecuniary simulation, is evident on all sides, The largest Irish contingent of vieitort5

Epsom Summer Meeting. EPSOM, TUESDAY. The Epsom carnival was ushered in under anything but hsppy auspices, for whil-t a terrific storm rafted during the night rain was still falling heavily this morning. The downpour was, of course, greatly needed, and whilst it immensely improved the going and freshened up the herbage it ateo served the useful purpose of laying the dust, whii-h so often proves such a discomfort to those who patronise the road. Matters cleaved up about 10 o'clock, and there were a few glimpses of sunshine, but when Tisiuirs began to a=ssvnble on the Downs tlip 4cy tiH bure a w au ry appea r-, nee. The scene 011 the historic hill was a-i striking ai ever, roundabouts, booths, and other paraphernalia being in evidence. The attend- ance was bix one, thouh shM?H to wh?t i? will be to-mdrrow.
