~ GREGG-TURKISH PROBLEM.
Lord Salisbury’s Insistance That the Sul~
tan’s Troops Must Leave Thessaly Be-
fore Greece Pays War Indemnity
Endangers European Concert.
London, Aug. 23.—The latest crisis in
the Greco-Turkish peace negotiations is
perhaps more serious than the earlier
ones, because, it is gravely asserted, the
concert of the powers is endangered by
Lord Salisbury’s refusal to consent to
the gradual evacuation of Thessaly by
the Turkish trOOps. There are noisy
denunciations of England all over Eu-
rope, and threats of Continental alli-
ances to crush perfidious Albion are as
common as Klondike stories.
It hardly needs explaining that it is
the other powers and not England
which have changed their attitude with
regard to the evacuation of Thessaly.
Lord Salisbury insisted from the first
that the Turks must leave as soon as
the treaty of peace was signed. He even
delivered a virtual ultimatum to this
effect to the sultan and the powers.
Enormous pressure is now being put
forth to force him tO recede from this
position. There is, alas! altogether too
good reason to fear he may yield in this
as in all other matters where he has
encountered determined opposition. Ac-
cording to the latest advices, however,
he is standing to his guns. '
Public Opinion in both parties heartily
supports him, and should he surrender
he will be unable to escape a serious
outburst of popular contempt. It has
been with difiiculty that expressions of
indignation at his pusillanimity on more
than one occasion in the past two years
have been repressed among his cum fol-
lowers; and strong as Lord Salisbury
undoubtedly is in the Conservative
party, rank and file, the ‘party will not
rest withOut protest under further acts
Of weakness. ,
"Lord Salisbury has himself declared
upon the point at issue that the occupa—
tion of Thessaly, until the indemnity is
paid, will be, equivalent to the perma-
nent establishment of Turkish rule, be-
cause Greece will be~unable to raise the
cash for a long time.
At the Mercy of the Turk.
The details of the so called rectifica-
tion of the Thessalian frontier have
now been made public, and they show
that Greece will be placed entirely at
the mercy of the Turk. The former
frontier, which ran along the water
parting of the mountain range forming
the boundary of the Thessalian plain,
has been superseded by a line following
the southern base of the mountains and
transferring to Turkey Milouna and all
the other important passes. Thus any
future aggressive action on the part of
Greece will be rendered impossible,
while Turkey will be in a position to in-
vade Thessaly without encountering se—
rious opposition.
The principle of following the base of
the mountain chain was deviated from
in one important particular. A little
west of Larissa the new frontier leaves
the mountains, crosses the Salamvria
river, losing a considerable tract of the
plain to Greece, and placing Turkey in
possession of both banks of the river.
The line recrosses the river nine miles
from Larissa and rejoins the mountains
close to Turnavo.
This arrangement, which will enable
the Turks to bridge the river and bring
their forces within two hours of Laris-
sa, causes much dissatisfaction at Ath-
ens. The Turks, being in possession of
both banks Of the river, will be able to
impose restrictiOns upon navigation.
It is generally considered that the
bomb outrages in Constantinople will
prove a peg upon which to hang anoth-
er Armenian massacm. The Turkish
authorities, however, are thoroughly
controlling the mob and preventing as-
semblages of vagabond Moslems. Nu—
merous arrests have been made of both
Turks and Armenians.
The man who attempted to throw a.
bomb on Wednesday in the Ottoman
bank is an Armenian named Serkiz. He
says that he arrived from Batoum,
Russia, six months ago. He belonged
to an association, the members of
which drew lots to decide who should
attempt to blow up the bank. The task
fell to him, and he did his best to carry
out the scheme of the conspirators.
He declares that he received ample
funds from the association and that an
accomplice had arranged for a second
bomb explosion should the first prove
unsuccessful. Twenty—five of the men
implicated in the plot have been ar-
rested.
England’s Firm Stand.
The first stand taken by England
against the occupation of Greek territo-
ry by the Moslems is perhaps the cause
of the porte's moderation, which is due
to the desire not to give color to the
reasonableness of England‘s objection
to deliver Greek territory to the gentle
. mercy of the sultan. '
Meanwhile the deadlock lathe peace.
negotiations continue. The Greek news-
papers are elated over the stand taken
by Great Britain and laud Lord Salis-
bury. The Greek government is grate,-
ful, but displays no special anxiety {0"
help the situation by raising funds to
pay the indemnity to Turkey. The fact
is the nation's credit is so hopelessly
bad that‘nobody will lend it money. The
only solution seems to be some form of
control of the Greek finances, but to
this Greece refuses to agree.
Lord Salisbury now proposes g“that
Greece shall pay a small annual'sum
on similar lines as Turkeyfs indemnity
to Russia, but there is little chance of
the powers accepting this proposition.
While Lord Salisbury’s attitude is
generally approved in Great Britain, ex-
cept by the ultra-Tories, it is recognised
that a rigid maintenance thereof. would
defeat its own object. The Turks would
remain in Thessaly chuckling, the Thes-
salian refugees would remain a burden
. on the Grecian government. and the po—
sition in Crete would daily become
worse. It has been suggested. there
fore, that Great Britain will probably
withdraw from the concert of the pow-
ers, but Lord Salisbury is too well
aware that such an act would incur the
risk of menacing combination against
Great Britain, whom the powers all dis-
trust and suspect of having land grab-
bing designs, especially in regard to:
Crete. -
FEUD ENDS IN MURDER.
A Fight Between the Luther and Peight
Boys Ends In a Death. .
Altoona, Pa., Aug. 23.—-The long exist-
ing feud between the Peight and Luther
boys of 'Collinsville, a suburb of this
city, has resulted in murder. On Aug.
7 the Peight and Luther boys, who al—
ways forced a friendship with each
other, were out in the woods near their
home, drinking. Some one suggested
wrestling. David Peight said he could
throw both the Luthers, and in half a
dozen trials he bit the dust. This only
intensified his hatred for the Luthers,
and in the evening when they had re-
turned home he picked a quarrel for re-
venge. The Peights met the Luthers
going to cut grass. 'Charles Luther had
a sickle.
The fight opened with George Peight
felling Robert Luther with a stone on
the head. Then Charles Luther and
Dave Peight mixed in. Luther slashed
Dave Peight across the face with the
sickle and beat him into insensibility.
Then the Luthers chased George Peight
home. ' .
On last Monday lockjaw manifested
itself in Robert Luther. It came from
the blow with the stone. Luther rapid-
ly grew worse and died in great agony.
A post mortem examination revealed
the fact that the skull had been crushed
by the stone.
Dave and George Peight were arrest-
ed for murder and held without bail for
court. District Attorney Hammond says
it is a case of murder.
NEW PENSION RULING.
ARadical Change to he Announced In
the Bureau's Attitude.
Washington, Aug. 23.—It is not im-
probable that official announcement
will be made in a. few weeks of a raidcal
change in the present attitude of the
pension bureau toward pension claim-
ants who had.aConfederate war service.
Under the present construction of the
laws, any service in the Confederate
cause, irrespective of later service f01
the government, is a bar to pension.
Commissioner of Pensions Evans be-
lieves that if a claimant served in any
capacity in the Confederate service, but
later deserted or left its ranks, enlisted
in the Union army, served therein and
was honorably discharged, it would be
an injustice to refuse him a‘pension.
He believes that having performed
honorableservtcein the Union army, the
past hostile service should be oyerlook-
ed. Assistant Secretary Webster Davis,
whose decisions have been in the line
of liberal construction of the pension
law, is understood to have similar views.
The question has been referred to the
president and Secretary Bliss for their
approval.
RIOT, IN COURT.
A Mob Attempts to Overawe a Pennsyl-
vania Justice of the Peace.
Scottdale, Pa, Aug. 23.——The charges
of disorderly conduct against James
Durkin and other mill strikers have cre- _
ated intense excitement. The hearings
were before Justice J. K. Richer, and
a crowd of several hundred forced them-
selves i~nto the justice’s office and others
surrounded the building.
After the testimony was heard and
the justice indicated that he was going
to decide against the defendants, the
crowd commenced howling and cheering
and could only be quieted by the an-
nouncement that the justice would re-
serve his decision. Burgess Porter act-
ed as attorney for the defendants, and
he and Manager Skemp nearly came tc
blows. Justice Eicher was indignant
and declared that he would allow nc
mob to force him to render a decision.
and several times called on the officers
to make arrests. but none were made.
The situation is critical, and serious
trouble is feared.

THE WILSON MYSTERY.
Detectives Think They Are on the Way
to a Solution of the Crimes
Philadelphia, Aug. 23.—The local po-
lice and detective force are still at work
trying to unearth the mystery sur-
rounding the murder of Major William
C. Wilson, the aged and eccentric biblio-
phike, on last Monday evening, and
those in immediate charge of the case
feel that they are on the way to a solu-
tion of the crime. Marlon Stuyvesant,
the. colored porter employed. in the
place, has been locked up in a cell at
police headquarters. Stuyvesant's a1-
leged wife was aim placed in a cell.
The police say that the porter is sds—
pected of being implicated, and most
likely of having committed the murder

ploy for some time. He is a native of
Dutch Guiana and is about 35 years of
age. The police say he is not married
to the woman with whom he has been
living. She is a white woman. Stuy-
vesant is said to have a wife living in
Chelsea, Mass. '
