His Testimony Creates a Sensation—Justice Robertson Characterizes it as it Most Extraordinary Case. A despatch from Napanee, says:—The conviction of John F. Troy for the mur- der of Angus McLeod on the 13th• Sep- tember, 1893, teriuinated on Tuesday, when His Lordship Mr. Justice Robert- son characterized it as the most extra- ordinary case that ever cape udder his observation. The court was pack- ed to suffoclttio'n. The ;prisoner said he *Was friendless, and wanted to plead guilty, but this his Lordship would not consent to, and Mr. W. H. Perry eras selected to defend 'him. Mr. W. R. Riddell, Criown prosecutor, in his opening address to the jury, said that away back in September, 1803, the town of Napanee was startled by the news that a prominent citizen had been shot down iu cold blood in his own home. Almobt four years passed away, and it. bad become generally accepted that the McLeod murder would press down as one of the mysterious ones which would not out, when it was all cleaned up in a. mast remarkable man- ner. Some months ago a convict con- fessed 'to the warden of the Kingston penitentiary that he it was who shot Angus McLeod. The Attorney -General was notified, and he delegated Detec- tive Rogers to enquire into the matter. In an interview with Troy the detective weaned hien that any statement made might be used against him. Four witnesses were called for the prosecution. lietecteve Rogers, who gave evidence of the prisoner's confes- sion; Mrs. McLeod, widow of the mur- dered man; Dr. Leonard, who held tbe post-mortem; and Mr. Glynn, of Sar- nia, who recognized the prisoner as the party he had sold a revolver to. The prisoner was placed in the box, when his testimony created a sensa- tion. He said the confession made to Rogers was false in the main. the slid not deny his guilt , tbut said that Hughes and Penn were both with him at IsfoLeod's house. When he entered the house he had no intention of com- mitting murder. In reply to a question by the judge, he said it was the state of his health that induced him to make the confession. Ile grew quite eloquent in describing the tortures he endured while in solitary confinement in the penitentiary. Neither counsel for Crown nor de- fence addressed the jury. The learned judge said he would make a special re- port of the case to the Minister of Jus- tice and the Attorney -General, and have them pass upon it. The jury retired, and in a short while returned from a verdict of guilty. His Lordship reserved judgment until to- morrow. Commercial trade reports indicate a general steady, but slow, increase in the movement of trade, and there its a more speculative spirit in the ais than for some time past. In some lines production largely exceeds pres- ent requirements,and pi ices are con- sequently depressed, but there is a gradually iancreasing consumptive de- mand. Wheat has been weak lately, but later it has advanced. The en- quigy for cotton goods its dull, and a heavy output is still on the nlaa'lcet. Pint cloths are again lo'wee, and mills are continuing the output in ex- oess of current needs. Much the same can be said of woollens, thouglb there is an increasing demand; the ,twice of wool its firmer. Some furnaces in Pitts - bung and Pennsylvania have stopped: wolik. Leather and hiders are both weak in price. GDNIERIAL. 1t is semi -officially denied that Prince Hoheniohe, the German Imper-., ia1 Chancellor, hats resigned.

DISASTROUS EARTHQUAKES IN THE LEEWARD ISLANDS. Houses Rased to the Ground — People Crushed to Death by Falling Walls. Earthquakes are shaking the islands of Gue.deloupe and Montserrat of the Leeward group in the West Indies, The cable a few days ago, reported that a nu4nber had been killed at Guade- loupe. Details were supplied by the Quebec) liner Madiana, which arrived at New York on 7.'ulesday, from Lee- ward island ports. When the steam- er reached Antigua, forty miles from Gaudeloupe, on May 1, everyone in port was discussing the shooks. The heaviest had occurred two days before, when fifty negroes had been killed outright by being buried in the ruins of their houses. In a brick church a congregation of two hundred people were caught by the collapse of the walls, and fifty crushed to death. Those in the streets saw the houses sway bask and forth. and the walls of the brick structures creek. The report also said that twenty-five or thirty people bad lost their lives at Point -a -Litre. Twelve houses of briok in Guadeloupe had been demolished and scores of others cracked and seamed by the shocks. From Antigua the lladiana steamed to Montserrat, arriving there an May 2. There, too, a :state of terror ex - /Kited. Mat tows was rocked like a boat at. sea on April 30. S'ixtouseswere destroyed, but no lives lost. This is- land before the earthquake had not been noted for the piety of its peo- ple, butwhile the Matdiana was in that port meetings were held at short in'f eg'vals in all of the churches, whirl( were crowded wilt worshippers. The inhabitants finally believed that it was on account of their in- iquities that they bad been• visited by earthquake%, and tbttt if they did not turn they would all be utterly destroy- ed. Not only were services (held twice daily in the mall churches or chapels but open-air meetings were held. Sixteen Persons Burned or Smothered lie - low Decks. A despatch from New York says:— The Mallory Line steamer Leona, which left her pier on Saturday, bound for Galveston, put back, and arrived in port on Sunday, sixteen persons having perished. The dead were steerage pas- sengers on the steamer who succumbed in a terrible struggle during a fire which occurred off the Delaware capes at an early hour yesterday morning. The horror ofthe story can hardly be detailed. '('hose who are dead were penned up below decks, and although frantic efforts were made by the offi- cers to save them, the fire had such terrific headway before the danger was discovered that all escape was cut off. The steamer carried amongsther car- go many bales of cotton. It is not certain how the fire originated, but when it was discovered it burst forth with• such fury that it was impossible to reach the steerage, even when the steerage passengers apparently were unmindful of the danger or else the smoke and flames, diad not reached them. • The saloon passengers were first aroused and in such a manner as to occasion little alarm. When it be- came apparent that the fire had cut off the steerage passengers, the cap - tail>, and his men poured great quan- tities of water down the ventilator and eight of the steerage passengers 'final- ly succeeded in making their escape.

Pourparlers have taken place between the powers, over- tures of mediation were made to the Greek Government on Tuesday, and the Cabinet, after serious deliberation, ac- repted the offer. Greece undertakes to recall her troops from Crete, and agrees to such autonomous government for that island as the powers,( in their wis- daan. shall deem best, and promises to accept unreservedly the counsels of the powers in settling peace between the two countries. The spirits of Greece is broken, and even the anti -Royalists, who, a short time ago, would listen to no suggestion of peace, submit to the iron terms o1 the powers without a murmur. The secret is out. The disaster to the Ggesek cause is due entirely to the blundering of the Crown Peine. This amateur military commander assumen the functions of press censor. In this ca:nacity be suppressed those telegrams which died nbt please him, and altered others with a (rete haulm, until the cor- respondents of the London press, find- ing that they were frequently made to say the very traverse of What they 'hate written, had to abandon the wire, and resort to the post -office at Athens for the safer conveyance of their de spatch- ens. This state of affairs amounts for *the delay in telling the story of Prince IConstantine's blunder. When he order - el the flight at Lftrµsisa the Turltiswere defeated, 'beat inn his cowardly imagi- nation he cbnstrueill their retreat into a flank movement, and rushed off like a frightened girl, with his troops following pell-mell in confusion at his heels. He destroyed the morals of the arils', and his name is only men- tioned in Athens with execration: NOTE OF THE POWERS. The conditions insisted upon by Ger- many, the chief of which is that°Greece shall give her formal consent to the principle of autonomy for Crete, will be accepted by the Greek Government. The note of the powers has not yet been presented, but it has been drawn and is to the following effect:—"Upon a formal declaration by Greece that she will recall her troops and agree to such an autonomous regime for Crete as the powers in their wisdom shall deem best, and accept unreservedly the coun- sels of the powers, they will intervene in the interests of peace." The note will probably be presented.'to-morrow after the German Minister has received final instructions. It is understood that Greece, in her reply, will assent to all of these conditions. DZ. Balli, the Pre- mier, and M. Skouloudis, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, have had a long interview to -day with Mr. Egerton, the British representative, which has caus- ed considerable comment. It is believ- ed to he connected with the expected intervention of tbe powers. A despatch from Domokos says that heavyrains there prevent fighting. The recall of the forces from Crete has been received with resignation by the publics. The De1 aup is organs at- tack the Government bitterly for ap- pealing to Europe, but most of the papers accept this as inevitable, and violently attack the Etbnike Hetairia, asking it to render an account of its actions. On learning that the Crown Prince had appointed his dismissed chief of staff, Col. Sapoundzaki, and his aide-de-camp (elite Hadjipetro, to the command of an artillery regiment, the Government has recalled both offi- cers to Athens and ordered them to re- turn immediately.

Some Items of Interest to the Busy Business Man. Canadian Pacific earnings for the fourth week of April were $467,000, an inarea,se of 3$58,000. Canadian exporters of corn report( heavy engagements to go out from Mon'tr'eal this and next month. Tlbe stock of wheat at Toronto is 122,889 bushels as compared with 189,- 978 bushels last week and 16,118 bustler els a year ago. Stocks of wheat at Fort Wi111am1 and Port Arthur are 3,042,486 bushels as against 8,382,664 bushels last week, and 3,133,996 bushels a year ago. The world's visible supply of wheat dhows a decuease of 6,216,000 bushels for the week, much more than ex- pected, but for all t5iat prices in the leading markets are lower. In consequence of the resumption of gold exports at New York, the gold balance of the United States Treasury shows a reduction of about $4,000,000 the past few days. The total now is $149,V00,000. The security markets are firm. Can- adian Pacific continues in demand, and yesterday was quoted at 55' 1-8 in London. Cable debentures are scarce and higher at 99. Telephone is also higher, with sales in Toronto at 1bi 1-4. The visible supply of wheat in the United States and Canada deeseased 1,789,000 bushels last week, and the to- tal is now only 34,412,000 busbels as compared with 55,519,000 bushels a year ago. The amount afloat to Eu- rope is 17,520,000 as compared with 28,- 240,000 bushels a year ago. The total visible on land and afloat is 51,932,000 bushels as against 83,759,000 a year ago, a decrease of 31,827,000 bushels,. Wholesale trade et Toronto has been quiet this week.. There bas been no special movement, and conditions are unchanged. Dere and there some slight contractions or expansions were re- ported, but generally speaking business has ruled quiet. A moderate trade* ,reportled in (try goods, hardware and leveller, while groceries are on the quiet side. Dierehants, however, are not grumbling, but expect improve- ment ebertly. etemlttanoes are yet bar.klwuird, which is dura to soma extent to 'farrows being busy seeding, and consequently there is a. limited move- ment 01 country produce. The grain markets aro' slow., the demand being small. Large contratns natle been made far wjessbl room for the es,port of corn from Montreal thin and next month. Money continues easy. Priine commer- cial vapor 18 discobnted a:t ti per cent., and call loalils on stocks continue uxs.hanged at 4 i-2 per cents. There is a lair demand for bank is`s'ues, hvhich is stimudatett by cheap nianey and also by thie semi-annual dividends to be paid on June 1st. Navigation is now fully opened at Montreal, arrkvahs from sea beingfair- ly numerous for the season; the eanala hese atho all open, and i'ralin is owning fou -ward freely for shipment to Europe;, but the generna distribution of mer- ebenidicse counurywards does not show any very remota increase. In Omani goods,, such as metals, hardware,pa•ints, ete., tbetre is rather more doing. in the way of shipments by steamboat to titer lioint s. In dry goods trade is rather better with the country. than with city retailers, who complain that so much late wet weather has interfer- ed with their sales. Sugars continue very dull, and one of the local refin- eries has tempersrily shut down, ow- ing to acmumulatton of re'finosl stock. 1 ens are also still very quiet,, but the ltropoemi duty in the .United States of ten per cent. will help the market herei if adopted.

Persons who appreciate Emperor William's ambition to model his career after that of his grandfather are won- dering how he reconciles his champion - stip of the Turks against the Greeks with the attitude of -the revered Kai- ser in 1828. Then the latter tried ev- ery means to obtain permission to join the Russian campaign against the Sul- tan and was so vehement in his denu- ciations against the latter and against the Ottoman empire that he was wont to sign his letters to his relatives, 'Wilhelm der Turkenfresser" (Wil- liam, the devourer of the Turks.) How little the old Kaiser would have liked tion d title of - nes a "The uch t am he q Great" on the pedestal of his new sta- tue may be known from the fact that when a monument was raised to hie 'father, King Frederick William III., and it was proposed to inscribe on it "to King Frederick William III., by Emperor 'William," be insisted that "Emperor" be changed to "King," de- claring that it was not fitting that a son should make use of a high- er title than that of his father in such a place. .
