LONDON, Jan. 26.-The Turco-Grecian
situation is intensely strained. Reports are
circulated that bands of Greek volunteers
are crossing the frontier. The note OF the
powers to Greece was not identical and will
not prevent the Greeks from crossing the
frontier if the ministry remain in Office.
Lord Salisbury's energetic action in dis
patching the Mediterranean squadron TO
the PirBus TO prevent an outbreak OF hos
tilitieS is claimed by the government to
have been taken to anticipate Rus
sian Intervention and force Russia to
preserve the peace with Turkey. Servia is
claimed to be gradually. though unwillingly,
disarming, In spite of the terce outbursts
Of the military clique. friendly relations
with Bulgaria are being established. The
sultan has recognized the union of Bulgaria
and Eastern ROumalia, and if Greece can
be restrained peace is certain. This is the
Optmist view OF the party in power here.
The peSsimsts still declare that the appear
ances of peace are delusiye because the real
actors have not yet appeared on the scenes,
and that the torcible repression OF Greece
and the Balkan states simply postDoneS the
outbreak and changes the scene Of action.
LONDON, Jon. 27.-In the house of CON-
mons last night the Rt. Hon. Robert Bourke,
under foreign secretary, stated that Sir
Horace Rumb0ld had not been ordered to
inform the Greek government that England
was prepared TO send fleet to prevent an
ttack upon Turkey by sea.
Premier Delyannis has sent protest TO
England against the offensive tone assumed
by Sir Horace RnmbOld.

LUMBERToN, n. c., Jan. ga law
suit just ended here brings to light an ex-
traordinary marriage performed early last
week in a neighboring township. Squire
James Bishop was called on some time
since by John Trant, Creatan Indian.
who solicited his services to marry him to
an Indian girl. The squire stipulated to
perform the ceremony Monday evening
about dark. While i'll group of yonng
men few days later he mentioned the In
terview, and said it was the first time in
his experience of twenty-one years that he
had been called on to perform the marriage
ceremony by Indians. Just after dark
Monday night two young men, one Of them
dressed as a woman, came TO the squire
and asked to be married, saying they were
Indians. The squire came out with lamp
in his hand and the wind eXtinguiShed il
One of the party then said: 1--WE are in
hurry. 1t doesn't matter about the light.
MARRY US IN SHE DARK"
The squire at first demurred, but the man
said: IN pay you So. We are in big
hurry" Squire Bishop then performed the
ceremony briefly. When it was over he
asked for the fee, whereupon the young
man laughed, and after telling him how he
had been sold, ran off. The next day he
demanded S5, which they refused to pay.
The third day he was i'll with pneumonia,
and had narrow escape. He is still con-
fined to his bed. Yesterday he instituted
suit against David Furneybough and
Richard Roach for 1,050 damages. He
alleges that he caught pneumonia by stand
ing out in the cold to perform the bogus
ceremony, and alleges that as he did per-
form the ceremony he is entitled to the 80
fee, out of which he has been swindled.
Later the parties asked him to withdraw
the suit on payment of the So. This ne de-
clined to do.

The Eighf.Hour System.

ST. LOUIS, Jan. 26.-The Post-Dispatch
to-day publishes interviews giving the
opinions of over 200 leading employees
and manufacturers relative to the eight
hour system. The employers generally
state that the adoption of the system will
not affect their business, but that it will
surely end in a reduction of wages. and
of a consequent injury to the laboring
classes. They also state the movement. if
put into force, will be met with the piece
system, and the method of payment by the
hour. The interviews develop the fact that
the ''piece" system is now largely in vogue
in this city. None of the manufacturers
have yet been asked by their employees to
sign the circular sent out by the legislative
board of the federation agreeing to the adop-
ton of the eight hour system.

Ii CanaI he nnna.

LONDON, Jan. 26.-Mr. Thomas Power
O'Connor, in an interview to-day, said the
proposed introduction in parliament of
coercive measures for Ireland was party
trick based upon the hope of Whig support,
hope that would probably prove delusive.
He thought that the anti-lrish feeling in Eng
land was not so great as the government
supposed it to be. The ministry, he de-
clared, would certainly be defeated, and
Mr.. Gladstone would form a home-rule
ministry, which would have the full sup
port of the Liberals and the Parnelites.
Mr.. O'Connor characterized the action of
the government as ''dire frenzy" Mr..
William O'Brien, of United Ireland, agreed
with Mr.. O'Connor that the idea of sup
pressing the national league was absurd.
The government. he said, might as well try
to overthrow law of nature

THEY WANT 500,
And the House Committee on Rivers
Will Give Them SII,OOO,OOO.

Special TO the Globe
WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-About the sad
dest committee in Washington just now is
that of the rivers and harbors. 1t has been
the target of large number of delegations
in the week just past and its members are
the most thoroughly disheartened lot of
men that Washington has seen for some
time. They started i'm with the engineers
report before, asking for S42. 900, 600 for
river and harbor purposes. The Hennepin
canal people came forward with a scheme
that will cost SO 600, 600 more, the Ohio
river commission put in an appearance last
week with a modest plea to build five more
dams at a cost ofSabUut 81, 900, 600 each. The
Mississippi river commission wanted S6,-
600, 900 or IS, 10000 for that stream;
the representatives of the Southeastern
river and harbor convention wanted
SEVERAL MILLIONS
for rivers and harbOrs in that section of
the country; the New York harbor people
asked for a large sum for immediate use:
the Mississippi and Missouri commissions
asked for extra appropriations at once.
and, TO crown all, the delegations from the
Mississippi valley combined their forces
and showed the committee how. in their
opinion, SIS, 600, 900 OF $50, ,OOO. 600 ought
to be spent in very short order on that stream
from its head to its mouth. The sums
asked for rivers and harbors aggregate
probably pretty well up TO S1O0. 600. 600,
and the committee has already decided to
make its bill only S11. 600, 900. To say
that the committee is puzzled to know how
TO meet all these demands is putting it
very mildly. OF course there is only one
way out of the difficulty, and that is TO
hear all the claims of the various interests
and then set to work to distribute the
S11.000. 600 to the best advantage possible
among the numerous claimants.

Sending up the Papers.
.-z..1 A. A. nt.Hz


WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-The cabinet
officers appear to be outlining the presi-
dents policy regarding appointments and
information concerning them asked for by
the senate. All of the cabinet officers are
sending up the papers in the cases so far as
they relate TO appointments. They have no
information concerning the presidents rea-
sons for removals or suspensions In some
cases, however, exceptions are made so that
papers covering charges are sent to the
senate. In the case of Morris Thomas. who
was appointed last summer upon the rec
ommendatiOn of Senator German as In
dian inspector, all of the papers for and
against him have been sent to the senate.
Last summer the opponents of Mr.. German
found great mass of charges against Mr..
Thomas. Mr.. Lamar examined them care
fully, but did not find them worthy of be-
lief, for he continued Thomas in his Office.
He is, however, willing to have the senate
have all of these papers. AS the original
fight upon Thomas was made solely for the
purpose of striking at Senator German, his
election will probably put an end to the
