GERMANY GIVES In.

[By Cable to The Associated Press.1
CONSTANTINoPLE, May 26, 1S97.-The
withdrawal of Germany's objections to
the collective note Of the powers on the
subject of the terms of peace between
Turkey and Greece was due to the rep
resentations which the powers. especially
Russia, made to Berlin. Germany. in ad-
dltion to objecting to sign the note until
Greece consented to abide by the terms
agreed upon, objected to the indemnity
clause. being opposed to the principle Of
the indemnity being settled forthwith and
on the basis of the present resources of
Greece This attitude upon the part OF
Germany is attributed to a desire to re-
arrange the Greek finances in a manner
giving better security to the German
bondholders.
The adhesion of Germany to the action
of the powers in this respect has greatly
relieved the situation.
The collective note of the powers, pre-
sented yesterday to the Turkish Govern
ment, besides proposing conditions for
permanent peace between Turkey and
Greece, concludes with inviting the Porte
to negotiate with the Ambassadors with
reference thereto. The reply of the Gov
ernment of Turkey is momentarily ex-
Dected.

SPLIT OVER VETERANS
Street and Water Board Di-
vided as to the Legality
of the Old Soldiers
Reinstatement.

The Street and Water Commissioners
were to have met this morning, but ow-
ing to a triaing difference of opinion
among the Commissioners adjournment
was taken until tomorrow afternoon.
There were to have been number of
dismissals, but none will now be made
until the Commissioners settle their little
scrap
Shortly after the Board organized
number of veterans were inadvertently
dismissed. AT their meeting last Mon
day the Commissioners passed a resolu-
ten empowering the Chairmen of the
several committees to reinstate such vet-
Grams as had been dismissed. When the
time arrived for the reinstatement of the
veterans. Commissioners Hauck and No
Ian objected. Commissioners Boltwood
and Heintze insisted upon the resolution
being carried into effect. A split was
the result. 1t is not serious one by
any means. and the trouble will be settled
in a short time
Commissioners Hauck and Nolan ex-
plan they oppose the operation of the
resolution because they wish to consult
counsel about its legality
They entertain the idea it appears that
chalrmen OF committees have no right to
reinstate men who have been regularly
dismissed by resolution. In order to
straighten out the tangIe the opinion Of
Corporation Counsel Blair is to besought
Commissioners Hauck and Nolan say they
will abide by his decision. Until Mr.
Blair is heard from nothing will be done
IN the direction of reinstating any of the
veterans. The failure of the board to
meet caused all kinds of rumors to be
flung about. The wise ones declared that
there was hitch over appointments and
that Messrs- Hauck and Nolan had re-
fused to vote with Messrs Boltwood and
HeintZe and so on.
So far as dismssals and new appoint
ments are concerned there is no split. A
list of the men to be removed has been
prepared and so also has list of those
who will succeed them.
At tomorrows meeting the major part
of the dismissals will be employees at
Belleville and High Service.

WASHINGTON, May 26 1S97.-The
most significant development in weather
forecasting for years, making it possible to
forecast for period Of sixteen hours longer

result of experiments with kites flown at dis
tances one to two miles above the surface of
the earth, which have been quietly con-
Quoted in this city for some weeks. Daily
readings have been taken at this altitude
and the fact established that shifting Of the
wind occurs at mile level above the earth's
surface from twelve to sixteen hours before
the same change of direction. occurs on the

which operate to cause windshifts to produce

has taken great interest in the experiments
which were made by Chief Moore, and the

predictions more valuable III the future.
The most imperfect part OF weather fore
casts now is the prediction as to rain or
snow. Meteorologists for the past ten years
have been impressed with the fact that fu-
trre data as to storms must come from a
knowledge of upper-air conditions. The

a Proposition to Place Them Under
Cabinet Officer.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-The United
States is now maintaining % scientific
bureaus, giving employment to 5,225
persons. For the support of them the
government is appropriating nearly
SS,OOO,OOO. The A agricultural expert
ment stations are not included. The
trouble about this very liberal encour-
agement of scientific work at public ex-
pense is that most of the bureaus are
working entirely independent of the
others, supervised and directed by their
immediate chiefs, who have wide lati-
tude in the exercise of their discretion,
and are at liberty to branch out in al
most any direction, provided they can
secure an appropriation from congress
to pay the necessary expenses. The
remedy for this confusion and duplica-
ton is a consolidation into a depart
ment of science, with a director in
charge. The proposition of Assistant
Secretary Dabney, of the department
of agriculture, is that a board be
formed to perfect a consolidation.
