TURKEYS GRAB.
Wants Big Money and Thsssaly From
Greece.

CoNsTANTINoPIE, May 1.-THE Porte
has replied officially to the note of the
Powers and declines to agree to an armis-
tiee until the following conditions are ac-
cepted:
The annexation of Thessalay, an in
dernnity OF sI0,OOO,O0o Turkish and the
abolition of the capitulations. The Porte
proposes that plenipotentiaries of the
Powers should meet at Pharsstla and dis
cuss the terms of peace. and declares that
if these conditions are declined the Turk
ish army will coliinue to advance.
The demand for the annexation o.
Thessalay is based upon the fact that the
province was originally eeded to Greece
on the advice of the Powers with the OBJ
ject OF ending brigandage and Greek in
cursions into Ottoman territory, the
Porte believing at the time that the ces-
sion would attain these objects, but the
recent incursions of Greek bands and the
events Immediately preceding the war
have proved to the contrary. This is the
substance of the reply.

one reasoN why most of the great
nations are either openly or secretly
pleased AT Turkeys success is that
many of their citizens hold Turkish
stocks and bonds. These persons
would be pecuniarily injured by Turk
ish defeat, for that would lower the
value of their holdings. The class
which buy government and railroad
securities is a very important element
of the population Of every great nation
Of the modern day. In the present
conflict most of this element i on the
side OF Turkey, d, cause Greece has few
railroads, its government loans have
not been large, and i,s general credit is
low. In very direct and emphatic
degree the iinaneiers open and shut the
gates of the temple Of Janus these
dayS.

Bulls Not Worth Fighting.

MEXICO CITY, May I6.-The city gov
ernment forbade any bull fight to-day.
The authorities claim the bulls provided
for the fights are 50 poor they d. not jus
tify the price of admission asked by the
management. Enrique Meriro, Span
ish ball fighter, has visited the famous
bull breeding farms. and mis- judgment is
that none of the bulls shown him were
worthy ofthe ring. The poorness of the
animals is getting to be a serious matter.
and It begins TO look as if bull fighting
would stop for lack of animals to fight.
A ship load of bulls has been ordered
from Spain to NEE. the emergency.
