THE Will Ill THE EAST
Correspondent Says That Armistice
Has Been Arranged.
NOT GENERALLY CREDITED.
Grecia- Fleet Reported to Be Biockading
the Gulf of Salonika and to Have
Stopped a. British Steamer—Move-
ments of the Troops.
Paris,~May 14.—A correspondent of
The Journal at Lamia, Thessaly, tele~
graphs from that place saying he has
learned from official sources that an
armistice between Turkey and Greece
has been concluded. He adds:
,“This solution was impatiently await—
ed by all, for it is impossible to con—
tinue the war under the present circum-
stances. The interest is no longer in
Thessaly, but in Athens, as it is proba~
ble that the action of the cabinet in
signing peace is destined to bring the
ministry to a speedy end.”
The statement as to an armistice hav-
ing been conclsded is accepted with re-
serve here, as all reports from Other
sources seem to indicate that Turkey is
delaying action in the matter, and the
dispatches from Athens and Constan-
tinople direct of yesterday do not bear
out the statement made by the Lamla
correspondent of The Journal.
How London Views It.
London, May 14.—The Greco-Turkish
‘news received today does not change
the situation. Everything is facing on
the porte’s action. There is no con—
firmation of the report, printed by the
Journal of Paris, that an armistice has
been arranged, but the silence from the
seat of war seems to indicate that Ed-
hem Pasha’s advance upon Domokos
may have been countermanded. The
sultan’s position is little stronger than
King George’s, and therefOre it is not
surprising that while the war feeling is
so strong he hesitates at taking a step
which could be construed at Constan—
tinople as a surrender of Ottoman i-n-
terests. In-vaddition to this. the feast
of Bairam began today and lasts until
Sunday, Offering another excuse-for de—
lay.
Muosulmans Celebrating.
. London, May 14. —The’ correspondent
of The Daily Mail at Larissa telegraphs
as follows:
“The feast of Bairam has commenced
and there will be no military operations
except when necessary. Edhem Pasha
has caused sheep to be killed, according
to the Turkish custom, and has visited
the generals in the vicinity. The troops
fired a feu-de-joie. The Mussulmans
and their families are celebrating the
feast with enthusiasm, as marking their
release from foreign domination, each
head of a‘family killing a sheep with
his own hand: The rich are keeping
open house, and the Mussulmans are
promenading the streets in gala dress.”
Marching on Kalambaka.
Constantinople, May 14.—An official
dispatch from Larissa, dated from that
place yesterday, announces that six
battalions of Turkish infantry from the
east and from Larissa, four battalions
from Diskata and four battalions from
Janina are marching on Kalambaka,
northwest of Trikhala, where they will
shortly be joined by the Turkish armies
from Janina and Elassona.
Greek Fleet Doing Blockade \Vork.
Salonika, May 14.—The Greek squad-
ron is watching the coast from Plata-
mona to the gulf of V010, and it is
claimed the Greek warships are also
blockading the gulf of Salonika. A
British steamer, bound for Salonika,
has been prevented from entering the
gulf.
Foreign blarket Strong.
London, May 14.—The stock exchange
here and the continental bourses ‘were
"favorably affected by the good political
advices. Great confidence was caused
by the evidence, official and unofficial,
of the effectiveness of the concert of the
powers. The reduction in the Bank of
England’s discount rate indicates pro-
longed ease in money. British consols
advanced and French routes were up 5
centimes and are now 20 centimes above
last Saturday‘s price.
Big Bequest to Saratogians.
'Saratoga, May 14.—Attorney Wilson
of San Francisco, representing Mrs.

land Stanford estate, has consulted the

George P. Lawton, Mrs. Walter H.
Hanson and the late Mrs. Christine M.
L. Gunning.

Albany, May 14.—Governor Black has

bridge commission allowing the com-
mission to take immediate possession
of property which it condemns before
fixing the price for the same and allow-
ing the commission to make the same
kind of leases that the old East river
bridge commission had the power to
make.
The Texas at Philadelphia.
Philadelphia, May 14.—The battleship
Texas, which will be the principal rep-
resentative of the United States navy

manufacturers of the United States
' held a secret meeting at the Hollenden
House and, according to report, formed
a trust to control the product of the

Closing the Crevasses.
New Orleans, May 14. —— ’lhe railroad

fight and probably will close all the

built around the dangerous section.

COLORADO WOMAN SUFFRAGE.
A Review of Its Benefits by the Equal
Suffrage Association.
Denver, May 14.—The Colorado Equal
Suffrage association has joined with
the Civic Association of Denver in mak-
ing a. formal statement regarding the
results of woman suffrage in Colorado,
in reply to “reports circulated of late."
The Statement points out that the re-
cent municipal election in Denver
marked the “first triumph of an organ-
ized effort made by women to influence
conventions and carry an. election,”
and that as a result of this triumph
“never before has there been here such
concentrated effort in behalf of reform
legislation. Bills relating to ‘civil serv-
ice reform,’ ‘local option,’ ‘indetermin-
ate sentence,’ a ‘new primary law’ and
‘improved election laws,’ were all pro-
posed and indorsed by organizations of
women. The first legislature Of the
new order passed a bill giving the wife
equal rights with her husband in the
possession» of their children and the
bill raising to 18 years the age of legal
protection for girls.”
The saving of $2,000 in state printing
contracts by Mrs. Conine, the chairman
of ’a legislative committee, and the ef -
ciency of Mrs. Peavey’s administration
as state superintendent of instruction
are instanced to show the value of the
service of women in public Office.
It is he1d~that the presence of worrien
members in the lower branches of the
legislature has given an added decorum
to the proceedings there, which is not
shared by the upper house, whose
members are exclusively males. Elec—
tions, the statement says, have been
more orderly and the primaries puri-
fied. Besides this, the interest in politi-
cal problems has become more general,
so that they are now studied and dis-
cussed as never before in Colorado.
No loss of womanliness has been ob-
served, though it is admitted that a.
“sentimental remonstrance” still sur-
vives to a certain, but diminishing, de-
gree.
BANK THIEF CAUGHT.
A Participant In the Yonkers Hold Up
Captured In New York.
New York, May 14.—One of the men

after be on a smaller basis.
