EXTENSION OF THE CAPITOL GROUNDS
To-day District Attorney Wells, for the Secre-
tary OF the Interior, filed a petition in the
name of the United States ex rel. c. Schurz
against sub lots l, 2, g. 4 and 5, square SIS, and
lot l, square 576. The petitioner represents
that for the purpose of extending the road way
around the Capitol grounds it is necessary for
the government to Obain possession of these
lots and that the act making an appropriation
for such extension makes it his duty to ap-
point five commissioners to make just ap
praisement of the lots in question, and asks
that a notice and summons be issued return
able on the lst of October, in order that they
may proceed under the act.

two dcmands-tirst, that Greece shall be adj

the provisions ofthe treaty just signed between
Russia and Turkey shall be open for discussion
and revision by the congress. To the first or
Greek part Russia assented, but pcrcmptOrily
objected to the second, and for a while it look

and that England and Russia must come to
blows. Russia at length receded so far as to
propose that the congress itself should agree
upon what it would discuss, but England was
