The Greek representatives here made a
formal apology to the Turkish Foreign
Office yesterday for acts of Greek insur-
gents in crossing the frontier into Mace
donia and disclaimed all responsibility on
the part of the Greek Government.

Unless | cross the frontier and take a
position there It is plain the present situa-
ton is untenable, owing to the constant
attacks of insurgeDt bands entering the
Turkish lines by stealth. If the present
situation continues it will he very difficult

banians, from marching forward and at
tacking the Greeks"

in their opinion war should be declared
against Greece, or Edhem Pasha at least
be authorized to cross the frontier in the
event of further incursions of Greeks in to
Turkish territory. The Sultan, who all

The following proclamation was
issued by the Governor Thursday
last:
considering the friendly and
intimate relations which, for so
many years, have existed between
the people of Tennessee and Ken
lucky, and the close identification
of the interests of the two States,
it is peculiarly proper that Ken
lucky should in some way manifest
an interest in the Centennial Expo
sltion of her sister State.
Therefore, the 24th day of
May neqt is hereby set apart and
designated as kentucky Day" at
said exposition, and our people
are urgently requested, as many
of them as can conveniently do so.
to be present in the city of Nash

honor themselves.

Anniversary of the admission OF
their State into the Union, by hold
ing at Nashville, the capital, in
1897, for a period OF six months
from the first day of May. a great
Centennial and International Ex'
position. 1t is creditablc to the
Highest civilization of the age to
thus express grAtitud; to the
Founders OF the Commonwealth,
and to manifest genuinely path
otic spirit. Tennessee is the hrst
State in the Union to celebrate the
One hundredth Anniversary OF her
statehood. and the event will there
fore concern all Americans alike.
The plan OF celebrating this great
event IS not intended as a money
making scheme, but aims at the
higher aud nohler end OF marking
with proper dignity and display
the end Of an eventful century, and
Of recalling and keeping alive the
deeds and names recorded to its
credit.

transparent pictures, framed in
different kinds of native woods, the

stand large pyramids of coal taken
from the No. 9 and No. II mines,

THE site OF the Exposition is

improved bluegrass land, lying in
the immediate suburbs OF Nash

fully elevated and shaded with
trees of mature growth. 1t con-

such matters have pronounced it
superior to the site of any expo

cessible by three electric lines and
Ivy one steam railway, and for
those who do not mind a short
walk, the grounds are easily
reached from the heart OF the city
