Bulgaria and Servia that may complicate
the situation as it now exists. Turkey has
echeloned Is coo troops at afortihed point
on the Greek frontier. These troops have,
however, been strict y epj oined to abstain
from giving any annoyance to the Greeks.
Despite this injunction It is feared that
the presence of the Turkish soldiers on
the frontier will eventual y result in col
lieion. The demand of the Porte that the
Greek Consul at Crete be ret aled because
be interested himself in inciting the
Cretans to rebel against Turkish authority
in the island. has be6n refused on the
ground that the charge is untrue. Turkey
has, on this account, instructed Savas
P<shs, the Turkish Governor of Crete, to
discontinue all official intercourse with the
Greek Consul.

question involved, and threaten to vote
solidly against ali credits asked by the
government for It's colonial enterprises in
the naval budget, unless unconditional
equality of Catholic missions with those
under Protestant auspices Is guaranteed
beforehand.

Sir @. Upper, Canadian Minister OF Ag

the space allotted to She Dominion in the
Colonial Exhibition buildings. It is now
thought that Canada will excel all the
British dependencies in both the number
and quality of her exhibits. and that she
will shame even India.

the Porte the other day of his position es
Turkish Ambassador at the Court of ST.
James, has literary tastes and aspirations
He has been engaged some time on a
translation OF Ddntes paradise into modern
Greek. He will devote his enforced leis-
ure to completion OF this work. There
are we'll grounded rumors afoat also
among those who know something of the
ex-minister's habits that he has been as
.iduously keeping diary the past ten
years. 1t is not at all unlikely, it is said,
that this diary will presently see the light,
and much curiosity is tet to see what kind
of figure London life and men may cut in
the pages of the ncte-taking Turk,
A curious partnership is that between
