Adyices as to the attitude OF Greece
and Turkey, respectively toucnihs
mediation OF the Powers. continue to be
contradictory. On the one hand' IL Is
said that both parties to the war are
willing to put themselves In the hanos
of the concert On the other hano' we
arc told that Turkey still demands as
basis Of peace n large indemnity IN
money. n rectification Of the fronuer OH
| lines that would give her more s'ra'eeic
| advantages than does the present
| boundary. and other important conces-
slons: and that Greece thinks II wouiu
he better TO continue the fight than SUD-
NIT TO terms that would wound the ma
tional honor.
Very little weight attaches TO any
statement that Greece will prove oDdu-
rate as regards the terms OF ADJUST
ment. She Is I'm no condition to 90 any
thing but acqulesce in such terms as tue
Powers may agree upon. She Is whipped
end the only thing that stands In 'he
way of Turkeys wiping her out OF eN-
stence is the fact that the Powers c'h-
not afford that that should be her fa'e.
She will practically have no voice III inc

doubtless protest against many or the
conditions. but her protests viii be mere
"brutum fulmen." If she is not enureiy
foolish. she will take what she can get
with thanks. The Powers know TINS
and it is hardly probable that their
diplomats who have charge of formulat-
ing the agreement will lose much sleep
from anxiety over reports from Athens
as TO what Greece will or will not do.
As to Turkey, however. the case Is
different. While it may be set down as
certain that the Powers will not enter
tain some of the demands she is said 20
have made. they will not be able to deal
with her in the oft-hand manner in
which they can deal with Greece Ther
own conflicting interests In Southeastern
Europe are such as Will call for caution

better condition TO resist pressure from
the Powers than he has been for years.
His subjects are drunk with the blood
of the Armenians. his armies operating
against the Greeks have achieved sue
cession of victories that has stirred the
military spirit of the empire. and the
Powers themselves, by siding virtually
with Islam and against Christianity in
the conflict. have contributed immense
" 10 the stimulation of Turkish AFRO
eance. Indeed, the concert has, by its
action and through the jealousies of its
members, given Turkey recognition ana
a standing as Power she has not
enjoyed for n long period. And this Is
one of the most lamentable features OF
the situation. Whether Turkey yields
finally entirely to the terms OF the con-
cert or not. the result of her rehablita-
ton. judging by the motives and In
fuences that dictated it. will be TO pro-
long greatly the conflict between civili-
cation and the unspeakable Turk, and
delay that consummation so devoutly to
be wished-the humiliation of the Otto
man empire.

tyNCUDyRG'S CLAIMS.

Lynchburg has resolved to enter into
the contest for tho honor of entertaining
the Democratic State Convention, having
appointed a committee with Senator
Daniel at its head to appear here on the
10Th and present its claims to the state
Committee.
The convention of 1888 was held in
Lynchburg. There it was that our party
accepted readjustment and proceeded TO
organize to wrest the State from the con-
troll of the Mahoneites. Mr.. Barbour was
there elected chairman of our party and
went forth "conquering and to conquer.
Some nynchburgers are making the
point that Richmond, Norfolk, Roanoke,
and Stanton have had the convention
since they have had it, and that it is
Lynchburg's turn next
Lynchburg, Richmond, Norfolk, New

" in the field for the honor in question,
while Stanton and Charlottesville have
both been mentioned in the same connec-
ton.

BOOTH-TUCKER INDICTED.
Salvation Army's Leader Indignant
Over Charges Against Him.
(New York Tribune-l3tno

Commander Booth-Tucker, the head OF
the Salvation Army in this country, was
indicted by the grand jury yesterday on
charge of maintaining dlsordery

ment is the result of a complaint MADE

The indictment il somewhat long, but is
most pertinent section reads as ioIiows:

city of New York, an ill-governed and
disorderly house, and that from the l3th
day OF April and every day thereafter

playing on musical instruments. making
great noise. and otherwise misbe-
having themselves, whereby the comfort
and repose OF the people residing in the
neighborhood were disturbed to the COM
mon nuisance of the people of the State
of New York.
A. Oakley Hall, who appears for the
Salvation Army, demanded a speedy
trial. and the case was transferred from
Special Sessions TO General Sessions on
an order from Judge Newburger. Com
mander Booth-Tucker will probably be
arraigned in Part |. He said yesterday
afternoon that he would vigorously de-
fend the case. Things have come to a
pretty state" he said, "if men are to be
stopped from meeting for prayer. Why
is no complaint made of the people in
Filth avenue. who dance all night 10 the
tones of a band? Ii we are to be pre-
vented from holding all-night prayer
meetings, society people who dance and
play all night should be similarly dealt
with. We create no nuisance, and it Is
not true that we play brass band at

The Dispatch has heretofore published
a statement from Mr.. Marburg, COUNSEL
of the Home Telephone Company, Of
Baltimore. TO the effect that the decision
of the United States Supreme Court in
the Berliner case will not affect them.
Now we have a contrary statement
Manager Polk, of the Bell Telephone
Exchange, of Savannah, has been
notified by his company that the
United States Supreme Court decision
gives the Bell Company practically
the entire control Of the art CT
telephony. The Beriner patent, Mr..
Polk said to reporter of the News,
covers all transmitters using variable
contact. 1t covers the principle of the
use of carbon in transmitters, which in
cludcs every commercial telephone in
operation. The patent does not cover the
hand phone, but only the transmit!er.
There is, he said. nothing to
prevent the use of the hand
phone as transmtter, but the
use in that way is so unsatisfactory
that 1t will never become general The
only thing for companies operating with
instruments covered by the Berlner
patent to do, he said. is TO abandon
their use. The probable course Of
procedure, Mr.. Polk thought, would be to
close up the opposition lines by injunc-
ton, and then enter suit against the
manufacturers OF transmit.ers covered
by the Berliner patent
There is no question, Manager Polk as
serted, about the decision Of the SUI
preme Court giving the Bell Company
the entire control of the telephone bust
ness in the country. The company has
been waiting a long time for the de-
cislon 1t could not proceed against in
fringers upon its patents until the case
was decided. 1t will now take action
without delay.

be selected. and II IL gratifying to know
that there are those who live elsewhere

Dancing. to the music furnished

fully decorated with flags and
bunting, for the occasion.
At IL O'Clock dainty lunch,
prepared by Mrs. n. g. Nease.
and ner sister, Mrs. Jennie Somer-

dining room.
Those who did not participate in
the dancing amused themselves at
games
Theyoung folks had Jolly. good
time, as each one will testify, and
.'Home Sweet Home at midnight
was played under protest.
Miss Mamie sustained her for
mer reputation as a hostess; her
sweet and charming manners make
