R. L. GoRMAN, Clerk, Board of Public Works
Aug. IL, 1881.
Adopted: (See order to Board of Pub
lie Works.

lumber for one year from date of contract.

tract be awarded to John Martin & Co., they
being the lowest bidders, and submit draft
of contract herewith.
Sixth-In regard to the putting in of wood
en- culberts at the crossings of Rice street and
Park avenue by the st. Paul, Minneapolis &
Manitoba railroad company, as reported by
the City Engineer.
Your committee, while they do not recon-
mend any action in regard to the
particular culverts named in the Engineer
report, arr of the opinion that all future
crossings placed in on the streets by any
railroad company should only be done under
the authority and direction of the City Engi-
neer.
Seventh-The resolution referred to your
committee in regard to the construction of
sidewalks, is recommended to pass.
Eighth-In regard to the communication of
the City Engineer, in answer to resolution
of the Common Council, as to whether any
persons are engaged in quarrying rock in the
streets of the city, which communication was
referred to the committee on streets, etc.
Your committee are of the opinion
that it is the duty of the City
Engineer, to take special care that
no stone be quarried on any of the streets of
the city, and that he cause complaint to be
made against any one found so engaged, and
that he report every person SO offending, to
the Common Council.
As to the petition of John Graft, asking
that Pleasant avenue from Ramsey street to
Dale street, should be made passable
Your Committee, after consultation with
the City Engineer, report adverse to the petit
toners request, but would suggest that as
soon as the grade on Pleasant street has been
definitely fixed, that the street be graded as
provided by law. j. G. MCCARTHY,

TURKEY AND GREECE.

VIENNA, Nov. 80.
For some time past reports have been
going about of a intention on the part OF
the Porte to begin direct negotiations with
Greece. This intention seems to AVE been
now carried into effect, as the Porte is
said to have made, through Photiades Bey,
it's Minister in Athens, overtures to the
Greek Cabinet in order to ascertain whe-
Their the latter would not be disposed to
enter into direct negotiations. 1t is
indeed, quite possible that, as i'll Athens,
efforts have been made by the Powers to
warn the Greeks against any precipita.
ton, so in ~Constantinople corresponding
efforts have been made to convince the
Turks of the ad%visability of not losing too
much time about the Greek question, but
to show good will in this matter, as they
had done in the M%ontenegrin affair. The
Porte by this time must be well aware
what a mistake it made when it lost the
opportunity of preventing the interference
of the Powers by settling the question
directly with the Greeks, which might
have been done probably at a much small
Ter cost than will have to be paid now, as
since then the Powers have taken the mat
ter in hand. Such negotiations could
naturally only take place with their con-
sent, but, as even now their main object
is that the question should be settled, it
can scarcely be supposed that any Objec-
ton would be raised from any side for
mere forms sake provided that from the
outset such negotiations began in a way
which would, offer a fair chance for their
success. This could scarcely be the case
if their negotiations began without some
positive starting point, so as to prevent

gaining. where one side asks far more than
it means to take, while the other offers tar
less than it knows it must give.
The turn which events have X 10
such as to have made tolerably clear to
both sides their position. The Turks must
know that the Powers, having declared
their opinion, will adhere to it in the main,
and that, though concessions on II or
another point may not be altogether Ok
cluded. the area for such concessions has
become a very limited one. On the other
side, the Greeks may he. able to guage the

ton embodied in the Berlin Treaty with
regard to this question, and are, at any
rate, as yet not prepared to go beyond
diplomatic PRESSURE, which is more com.
patible with such mediation than the en-
ployment of actual force. On the other
hand, it seems that the Greeks have like
wise had all opportunity to form some
estimate of the support which they might
expect on the part of the populations OF
Epirus and Thessaly in case they resolved
upon taking matters into their own hands,
and this is a most important factor. The
chief justification for the claims of Greece
to Epirus and Thessaly can. after all. only
be the wish of these populations to be
united to Greece, and the amount OF
sacrifices which they would be pre-.
pared to make for this purpose. 1t is
with a view to give them an oppor.
tunity to prove this that, besides the
organization of the regular forces and
reserves, the formation Of volunteer corps
has been decided upon. The appeal ap-
pears to have found as yet but small re-
Spouse, and, with the exception of some
young men from Janina ard some of the
frontier districts of Thcssaly, there has
been little disposition to swell the ranks OF
these volunteers. With all this it is not
surprising if the overtures made by Tur-
key to come to a direct understanding
have been found to deserve some cOnside.
ration, and that the offer made was not
rejected, but that, as a condition for the
opening of regular negotiations, it should
have been asked that a positive proposal
should be made on the part of the

BULG A RIA.

The British Cabinet has made stringent
representations in Bulgaria, calling the
attention OF the Bulgarian Government to
various stipuIations of the Berlin Treaty.
which were either o fulfilled or else
were ~misapplied. Among these stipula.
tons are The delay in the demolition OF
the Danube fortresses. the filling OF almost
oil the officers commissions in the Bulga-
rian army with Russians, and the intrigues4
of the Bulgarian agitators in Eastern
Roumelia. The Bulgarian Governments
is said to have already replied to the Note
addressed to it but the answer it seems is
not very satisfactory. These representa-
tons were made by England alone, but
Italy is supposed to have joined in them.
As for the other Powers. they have not
been, it appears, invited to join, and this
has caused some surprise, as some of them
had already, though not in an official form,
made similar rep reservations to Bulgaria.
They would, therefore, no doubt have
been quite ready to Join in q Cohesive
Note,above all as they Joined in a collective
action when it was proposed to remind
Turkey Of the unfulflled Treaty stipula-
tons. However this may be, now that
these questions haze been officially raised,
it is not likely that they will be dropped.
The Bulgarians aspire to the union Of
Bulgaria and Eastern Roumelia. Opinions
may differ about the advisability of such q
union, but the Bulgarians must expect Q
most decided opposition IS long az their ar.
my remains virtually a Russian army,and %
long as the Danube fortresses, which might
eventually be occupied by this Russian ar

precise dispositions of the Berlin Treaty.
TIE union of Eastern RoumeIia with Bull.
garia, while such a state of thiogs CONT.
nues, would be upsetting the tvery leading
idea of the Berlin Treaty and falsifying
completely it's intentions, for it would
tend permanently to establish the Russian
influence and the Russian rule on the Dan
ube and to the very gateslof Constan tinople.
Those Powers which fought against this in
Berlin will certainly do 80 again. The moro
plainly the Bulgarians are made to under-
stand this the better will it be for all par.
ties concerned.-l6d
, 1881-01-01

We can never expect to be entirely
free from such Incidents any more
than the inhabitants of other places,
and it is in fact the rarity of their
occurrence here that makes a success
sion of them look so formidable as it
does to most of our peaceful citizens.
Passing to agricultural matters, the
chief concern Of the island, we think
that we may congratulate ourselves
on having surmounted the principal
difficulties of the labour question with
comparatively little trouble. The
promise Of our fields too is fair,
though not as good as could be wish
ed. If the rain was not as abundant
as was desirable we may rejoice that
it was not still less. Great activity
has been shewn by the planting body
throughout the year, and many ques-
tons connected with agriculture have
been earnestly discussed. The pro-
blem of Factory or no Factory has
been the chief of these, and the Factory
fortunately Showed that 50 far as itself
was concerned it could be carried on
with a profit. The questionth that remain
ed was whether it paid the planters to
supply it with canes. Elaborate cal
culations, such as that which we pub
lished in June, have been made to
elucidate this question, and trials have
been made on several estates. So
far as we can learn the planters are
wiling to supply the Factory pro
vided certain concessions are made
them, which are at present the sub
iect of negotiation, and we hope that
a conclusion satisfactory to both sides
will be arrived at, and that the Factory
will thoroughly justify its supporters
by the results obtained during the
coming season.
In political matters there is
little to note. The island has
in this respect been lying on its
oars, awaiting some initiative from
the mother country. AS it is not yet
known what may be done there, it is
impossible to predict, and useless to
speculate, what the future our of
the colony will be. We may how
ever be toIerabIy sure that the short
calm will soon cease, and that con-
siderable changes of some kind or
other will be made during the present
year. Inthis regard the year may prove
n of the most eventful in our colo
NAL history, and let us hope also that
it may prove to be among the most
fortunate.

THE AVIS"
CRAFTSMANSHIP, ST: CROIX
Saturday, January LIST 1881.

To day we enter on a New YEAR,
and cordially wish that it may be a
happy and prosperous one to the com
munity as a whole as we'll as to indivi-
dual citizens. If it contains for this
island as few misfortunes and as
great a share of prosperity as the
year which has just closed we shall
have no cause to complain. In look
ing back over the past year we may
observe that Santa Cruz has been
free from trouble in most Of the forms
which it commonly takes in these
islands, and that too while many of
our neighbours have not been exempt.
The year had scarcely opened when
we were shocked by the tidings
of a great calamity in the island of
st. Kits, in the form of a food, which
swept between two and three hun
dred people into the sea, and destroy
ed a large amount of valuable pro-
perty. About the same time we read
of one of those appalling occurrences,
now fortunately very rare in the West
Indies, a volcanic eruption. The
Island of Dominica suffered little
loss by this event; but we a well
understand hal the inhabitants lived
for some time afterwards in uncer-
tainty and terror. Before we had
come half way through the year we
learned of a drought in Jamaica, and
in the month Of August that island
was swept by a severe hurricane, the
passage of which past Santa Cruz
at a great distance was only felt
as two days of high wind. In
the matter of health too we have been
~singularly favoured. There has been
no epidemic, not even in a mild form.
and while reports of prevailing sick
ness have come from some other
islands we have entirely escaped.
One calamity certainly we have
not escaped, that of fire. The resi-
dence at Green Quay was destroyed
on the 18th April. On the 2Oth of
August the lives of two children were
Lost by a fire in Christiansted caused
by a kerosene explosion, and on the
25th of November occurred the King
Street fire, the particulars of which
are fresh in the recollection of u
readers. But even in this respect we
have not suffered SO much as the
sister island of St. Thomas, where Is
houses were destroyed by the fire of
the 4th of March. Another trouble
of which we must admit the existence
is the frequency of robberies from the
early pars Of the year till within the
last few weeks, during which the evil
seems to have abated, owing perhaps
to the increase of the night police.
