London. May 2S.-The correspondent
of the Times at Athens says:
The dispatch which the government
has received from representatives OF
Greece abroad all indicate that the
peace negotiations have taken a turn
more favorable to Greece. Turkey $
proposal to occupy Thessaly no longer
receives consideration, owing to Eng
lands attitude, while the proposal to
abolish the equalization in the case of
Greek citizens in Turkey is rejected
and the suggested extradition treaty
is apparently set aside.
The powers have fixed $4,000, 600 as
the highest limit of indemnity and will
allow only such stragetic alteration
of the frontier as will not involve the
subjects of any inhabited district to
Turkish rule. Germany's demand for
an international control of Greek
finances has not been favorably re-
ceived, as the government hopes
to raise loan abroad. on
the guarantee of England, Russia
and France, at low interest, to pay
their indemnity, conceding certain rev.
enues, but not accepting the principle
of foreign control

of the day at Morris park was the
Eclipse stakes for 2-year-olds, valued
at $4,000, and with but four starters.
Frohman was quoted at l to 5, but even
at that figure hackers were scarce.
The quartette got away in good order
and Great Bend went out to make the
running, with Cherry Picker alongside
and Frohman rating along in the rear.
Thus they ran until they came out of
the dip, when Sloan gave Frohman his
head, and it was all over. The son of
Himyar ga1loped away from the others
as If they were standing still. Cherry
Picker managed to outlast Great Bend
and got the second place.

on the ella He was curious to note
the surprise the Indians would mani
fest when ne was brought in contact
with q dish of ice cream. He invited
him into Phillips and ordered ice cream
for two. The first gulp OF the frozen
compound made the Indians eyes
bulge. He recovered himself, though

all those other cormorants of monopoly

that they are as guilty as Chapman.
If the sugar trust will tell Its sena-
