THE TURKS Want DOM0kOS
1T APPEARS THERE WILL BE NJ
ARMIsTICE TILL THAT PLACE
Is OCCUPIED.
TURKEYS GREAT military vitality
uas Got the Powers to Thinking.
Significant Statement of High
Turkish Observation-Disclosures
Reported in Macedonia.

London, May 13.-The situation at the
scene of hostilities appears to be that
Turkey is determined to occupy Domokos
before consenting to an armistice. ana
that Greece is convinced of the impossi-
bility of holding out against the serious
attack which Edhem Pasha is preparing
to deliver. 1t has been decided to evacu-
ate Domokos and to fall back upon the
old frontier. This plan will probably be
carried out tomorrow if it has not already
been carried out, and thus the way will
be open for peace negotiations. Inc
powers are in no mood to yield over
much to the demands of Turkey. The
war has had quite an unexpected effect
on revealing an amazing military vitality
in the sultan's dominions, which is in
no way to the humor Of Russia or the
other powers. Hence the sultan will be
reminded that it was his original mis-
government thatled to the war; that only
the influence of Europe has prevented a
general blaze in the Balkans, and that
it is therefore advisable for him to accept
the terms.
The activity of the Turkish military
preparations, which is in no way abated
by the diplomatic negotiations, may pos
sibly be explained by the following state
ment of a high Turkish official:
"The Russians are putting high price
upon the moral support they extended
to us during the Armenian troubles, hut
the demands now made upon us are so
exorbitant that their acceptance would be
tantamount to resigning our title as a
free nation"

Tory line steamship Leona last Sunday
developing the fact that the crew was a

cause of the fire.
FIRST Officer Wallace testified that no

House Proceedings.

Washington. May 13.-The Indian ap-
preparation bill was disposed of by the
house today with the exception of the
provision for opening the Utah gilsonite
lands, which was postponed until Mon
day. The conference report, which es-
tablishes an Indian warehouse at Omaha,
ratified the lease of the Seneca oil lands
and adds one judge to the Indian Terri
tory courts, was adopted by vote of 81
to Al.
Nearly two hours were consumed in a
preliminary squabble on the point raised
by Mr.. Wheeler of Alabama that the rule
for semi-weekly sessions was in violation
of the constitution.
MIR. Simpson pop.) of Kansas endeav-
ored to renew his attack upon the speak
er for failing to appoint committees and
censured the republicans for not muster
ing quorum. He was declaring that
there were more democrats and pOpulists
than republicans present when the
speaker made the point that he was out
of order.
Il have been in doubt whether 1 had
any rights in this house lately" Mr..
Simpson shouted, and he was compelled
to take his seat under the rule.
MIR. Payne (repD of New York called
MIR. Simpson to order, and to him the
Kansan said
The speaker recognizes that you will.
do his bidding, and you get good place
on a committee alright. / know that
there is good deal Of anxiety on that
point among the republicans"
This moved Mr.. Dingley and w.. A..
Stone (reps) of Pennsylvania to call Mr..
Simpson to order.
The question whethey Mr.. Simpson,
should be permitted to proceed was put
to the house, and many republicans voted
no, while others refrained from voting. so,
Mr.. Simpson proceeded. However, his
statements caused the speaker to, declare
him out of order. Thereupon several
democrats protested against Mr.. Simpson
being taken from the floor.
In explanation Mr.. Reed said:
The chair submits to the house that
criticisms of what the chair did at some
past time are not in order, not because
the chair is above criticism or above at
tack, but because the speaker is the
speaker of the house and such attacks
are not conducive to order. The speaker
can not reply to them except in a frag-
mentary manner, and it is not desirable
that reply be made. If any objection is
to bes made TO the speakers conduct it
can be made at the time and direct"
There was some filibusterng, after
which the house finally decided that Mr..
Simpson coah not speak, whereupon he
appealed to the chair to be informed
Where am I at?"
The chair has never been able to find
anybody who knew that" was the reply.
AT 3:15 theS house adjourned till Mon
day.

All Depends Upon the Porte.

London. May 13! The Graeco-Turkish
news received today does not change the
situation. Everything is facing on the
portes action. There is no confirmation
of the report printed by the Journal of
Paris that an armistice has been ar
ranged, but the silence from the seat of
war seems to indicate that Edhem
Pasha's advance on Domokos may have
sition is little stronger than King
Georges, and therefore it is not surpris-
ing that. while the war feeling is so
strong, he hesitates at taking a step
which could be construed at Constantine
pie as surrender of Ottoman interests.
In addition to this, the fact that the fete
of Bairam begins today, lasting till Sun
day, offers an excuse for delay.
