hope just now Of compromise Oemg

THE proposed demonstration against
Dulcigno proves to be more than hoh-
dav parade. The feet will enforce the
retirement of the Turks from the city,
and protect its occupancy by those 10
whom it is ceded This is the plan now
nroposed, and if carried out, it will break
the power of Turkey in Europe.
THE general revival of business pros
nerity is clearly attested by the increase
of internal revenue receipts. Thus the
receipts for July last were S973,9O0
Greater than during July OF last year.
Of this increase, almost the entire amount
was upon luxuries, the use OF which mas

in Utah, they will be prosecuted by the
Government, having received warning oy

Now that the Albanians have supplan-
ted the Turkish garrison in the occupa-
ton of Dulcigno, in pursuance, no doubt
of an amicable understanding with the
Turks themselves, it is not easy to see
how a resort to hostilities can be avoided
by the six European Powers that united
in the Berlin Conference. 1t is evident
that even a pretended compliance by the
Porte with the demand for cession O
the town to Montenegro will be OF nc
practical avail in procuring its actual sur

which cruel nature visited upon that por

is that the constant intercourse with tn
pine timber has filed the heads of the in
habitants to such an extent with lumber
that there is nothing but wood in them.
