Given Up His Ottoman
Possessions.
Europe's Concert Said to Have al
Last Agreed Upon Scheme
Of Coercion.

LONDON, ENG. July 1.-THE Standard
has received dispatch dated CONSTANT
nople, July H. saying that the Porte has
agreed to reduce the war indemnity de-
manded from $4,000 900 to- $4,000. 900, at
the same time declaring that it is the ex-
treme limit of concession it will make.
The dispatch adds that the Grand Vizier
had a long and stormy interview with the
Russian Embassador. in which the latter
insisted that the Turks must evacuate
Thessaly. The Grand V.zier replied that
Turkey would comply when Russia had
evacuated Kars and Bateum.
Another dispatch says ministerial coun-
cils were held on Sunday and Monday,
the result of which was long report
stigmatiZing the concert OF the powers as
a league OF the cross against the crescent.
The Sultan answered this report with the
following trade:
II am convinced that the efforts of the
powers are directed entirely TO the m sin-
tenance OF peace. 1t is the plain duty OF
Turkey, whose sentiments are likewise
pacific, to put all end to the pre- ent abb
normal situation. Consequently / com.
mand my Ministers to find the necessary
means for concluding neg citations, if pos
sble, and signing preliminaries by Thurs
day.
The correspondent while admitting
that the trade may be another ruse. main.
tains that his report is accurate.
The Standard, in an editorial apparent
ly officially prompted, conveys the idea
that the meeting of the Cabinet to- morrow
will aim to arrive at definite decision re-
garding the coercion of Turkey. 1t fur
ther seems to suggest that scheme i:
afoot by which Great Britain and Russia
will apply force to the Ottoman empire

The Athens correspondent OF the Tele
graph says the powers are considering 6
scheme by which Russia, Austria and
Great Britain will cooperate to coerce
Turkey. The correspondent says ht
learns from high authority that it is pro
posed that Rus ia shall blockade the Bos
phorus and Great Britain The Dardanelles
while Austria shall seize the railroad t

WASHINGTON, D. G., July 14.-The
Treasury Department has decided to
use marble to construct the new Postofflce
building at San Fran cisco. The CALL cor
respondent was told so at the Treasury
Department to-day. Congressman Loud
has written a letter to the department pro-
testing against the use OF marble. He
urges several jectlons-tlrst that 1t Will
greatly increase the cost of the building
beyond the limit fixed by Congress, for If
mar BILE is used il will have to be trans
ported from the Eis.. as the California
quarries are not only remote from San
francisco but are unavailable. He says
ais that marble is not suitable for the ex-
terror of the public building, for expe-
rience shows in damp weather 1t stains
and rusts.
The rainy season in California would
have this effect on the marble, while the
dirt and dust of the dry spell would also
discolor the marble. He suggests that
either California sandstone or granite be
used.
Mr.. Loud prefers the former. He said

Food and Forage for Hun

Washington, April Pin the
opinion of Secretary Alger the worst
of the food dangers have passed and
with the war department force now
in the field, CO operating with the
local relief committees, there is little
danger that great suffering will be
permitted to go unrelieved The
question Of feeding the live stock of
the people driven from their homes
by water has been solved by the
treasury authorities deciding that the
resolution of congress contained the
necessary authorization for the pur-
chase of sufficient forage. 1t was
at first held that the act of congress
did not give this power, but the re-
cent decision settled the question.
This was fortunate, for Captain Davis
at Memphis Saturday night tele
graphed that it seemed absolutely
necessary to purchase forage for the
stock in addition to food, and per-
mission to do so was at once given

ging nature have followed so fast
upon each other since Saturday that

rumor that has gained currency is
that within the next 48 hours a

are now being sifted by the Franklin

allowed his venom to get the better
part of his judgment and that it will
work his downfall. This rumor reach
ed the ears of Gov. Bradley this morn

house was sulphurous for a time.
The latter's friends vehemently
deny that he had any connection
with it, and said If such resolution
is introduced that Governor Bradley
will at once go upon the floor of the
house and make speech that will
be full of sensations from end to end.
It is said that an effort will be made
to dissuade Governor Bradley from
