London, Aug. 21.-The Marquis of Sal
isbury's definite committal of Great Brit
ain to the policy of insisting upon the
evacuation of Thessaly by the Turkish
troops, whether Greek indemnity is paid
or not, is universally approved by the
British press and is equally condemned
by the continental newspapers. It is diff
cult to foresee the outcome of the matter.
The grip of the Marquis of Salisbury
on the powers is found in the latter's in
tense desire for peace to get settled and
the Turkish army disbanded, as until
this last step is accomplished the peace
of Europe will be continual menaced.

Is probable and would be regarded as
proof of bad faith and would throw the
powers into violent and dangerous fer
ment because rightly or wrongly it Is
universally believed that Great Britain
is bent on treachery. AS diplomat puts

However, 1t is still hoped that Greece
will manage to unite the knot by find
ine sum sufficient to induce the Turkish
government to order the withdrawal Of
its troops to the frontier designated in
the draft of the treaty of peace.
Though the acute crisis in affairs on
the frontier of British India seems to
have passed, there is no doubt there has
been genuine cause for the scare which
prevailed. Practically all the tribes
throughout territory of eight hundred
miles long and two hundred miles deep
are up in arms. Though the reverses will
probably control their ardor and pre-
vent further serious fighting, at present
the greatest care will be required in or
der to maintain peace.

school at Fortress Monroe Va, and
Professor Crehoe, of Dartmouth, have
made remarkable demonstrations during
the past week of the possibilities Of their
synchronograph. The government tele-
graph officials gave these men the use
of a clear line eight hundred and sixty
miles long, making a circuit through
London, Glasgow, Edi I'D gh. Newca s,le.
New York and other places, over which
the Americans succeeded In transmitting
short messages at speed Of equivalent
to 1000 words per minute. The messages
were received perfectly clear. Forty-four
miles of the line wereu nder ground, thus
adding to the difficulties of tho trial.
America was 5000 words per minute. over
an iron wire thirteen miles long. The
inventors declare that the trials demon
strate the possibility of sending press
messages between New York and Chica-
go at such a speed that the contents of
newspaper could be transmitted In an
hour.
The latest enterprise of the vestry of
st. Pancras is attracting much atten-
tion among the public and has excited
the adverse comment of many doctors.
The yestry has started bacteria incu-
batting nursery. from which establish
ment they guarantee to advise people
within twenty-four hours as to the ex-
act nature of any germs with which they
are supplied.
Each medical district of the vestry of
st. Pancras has been furnished with
the necessary paraphernalia and with in
structions how to forward samples of
germs to bacteria incubating nurseries.
Thus the accuracy of a diagnosis in
cases of diptheria, typhoid fever, ETC..
would b. promptly established. The
doctors fear that the innovation will de-
prlve them of patients and think that tAe
