THE ARMISTTCE SIGNED.
THERE is TO BE NO MORE FIGHTING
FOR SEVENTEEN DAYS
NEUTRAL ZONE BETWEEN THE ARMIES OF
GREECE AND TURKEY-REPoRTs AS TO
FURTHER NEGOTIATIONS AND
TERMS OF PEACE.

Athens May 20-An armstice between the
Turkish and Greek troops in Thessaly, to eH-
tend over period of seventeen days was Ior-
may concluded to-day.
Constantinople May 20.-An armistice was
formally concluded to-day for seventeen DAYS
between the Turkish and Greek troops Jon the
frontiers Of Epirus
The armistice is general. and includes the
land and sea forces of both combatants
The Ambassadors Of the Powers met this after
noon to consider the terms Of peace
Although it is not definitely decided, II is
thought the peace negotiations will be conduct
ed between Turkey and Greece direct and that
afterward following the precedent of the treaty
OF ST Stefano, the terms will be submitted TO
a European conference, which will probably
meet at Paris.
London, May 21.-The armistice agreement
stipulates that a mixed commission OF officers or
sureror rank shall establish a neutral zone
between the two armies and that no advance on
either flank shall be permitted. 1t is understood
that Turkey wants the commission to be con-
stituted of the foreign military attaches with
the two armies.
The Crown Prince Constantin. II Is said sent
a personal appeal 70 the Car not to allow the
Greek Army to be crushed by force four times
greater than itself and that, as consequence
the Car insisted on the arInistice. -,
The numerous suggestions as TO the conoi-
sions Of peace now coming in from all quar-
ters may be dismissed. for the most part as
untyus worthy. 1t Is probable that majority
are prompted from Constantinople, with the
idea of sounding the Powers. In all likelihood
the negotiations will he prOtracted. m
The Rome correspondent Of "The Daily Mail
saws he learns on unquestionable authority that
the Powers have agreed upon the chief condi-
tions Of peace namely, indemnity to the amount
of e.. 900 0O0 guaranteed by control OF the

WAR SHIP AFIRE.
A Blaze Starts in the OregOn's
Coal Bunkers
And Burns Fiercely Through
out the Night.
$50 TONS OF COAL
Were Stored in the Hold of the
Vessel.
Crew Removed it to Get at the
Fire.
Water Got in Causing SpOnta-
neOuS Combustion.

San Francisco, Nov. 23-The coal
Oregon caught fire last night from
spontaneous combustion and for over
eight hours the crew worked with
vengeance to smother what looked like
a costly blaze. There were over 250
tons of coal in the vessel and prompt
action alone saved the ship and fuel.
The fire is supposed to have started
from water leaking into the coal bunk
ers. This would eventually cause a
terrific heat from accommodating gases.
Luckily the fire was discovered before
it had gained much headway.
An alarm was Immediately given and
orders were issued to remove the coal
from the vessel to the wharf. Steam
pipes We're attached and connected
with the lower part of the vessel in an
attempt to smother what fire might
have been in other parts of the ship.
The men went to work with will,
but the task was larger than had at
first been supposed. The work was
done with difficulty, as the smoke him
dered the men in their attempts to
quickly put out the blaze.
During the whole night, after the
fire had been discovered the entire
crew labored in removing the smoking
and blazing coal, and it was not until
daybreak that the men were allowed to
leave their work.
The warship will be dry docked
within a few days and righted, after
which she will be coaled and her am
munitiOn placed on board, when she
will be ready for action.

WATERWORKS AT DULUTH.
Corporation is Forced to Sell to the
City After Ten Years Fight.

Duluth, Mimi, Nov 23--After a ten
years struggle in the city cOuncil,in the
state courts and in five special elections
Mayor Truelson has triumphed over
the Duluth Gas and Water company in
it's efforts to sell it's plants to the city.
He has succeeded in making the COM
pany reduce its figures from 81, 100, 600,
which it asked for the plant in 1891, to
81 25O 600. which it is now ready to ac-
cept and which are the figures the mayor
has been determined to bring them to
all the time the fight has been on.
By winning the fight Mayor Truelson
has saved the city nearly 100000 The
fight has been against great odds. The
mayor has had the combined opposition
of the daily papers, and it is estimated
that the company has spent over $780,
600 in elections and litigation. The COM
pany was forced to make the present
offer because of the persistence of the
mayor in pushing the building OF a
municipal plant.
The new plant will bring water from
several miles up the lake. Its mains
are built far enough SO that they can
be connected with the mains of the
company's plant in "a hours. There IS
a general rejoicing here over the settle
ment of the fight as it means pure wa
ter for the city and the stOppage OF
typhoid fever epidemics, which have
been almost yearly happenings hereto
fore.
