Turkey IL Asked tn Agree In nm ARM
isfice Pending Negotiations.


Constantinople. May 13.-The ambas-
sailors of the powers held prolonged
conference Wednesday. at the close OF
which they presented TO the Turkish
government q collective memorandum
proposing an armistice between Tur-
key and Greece on the basis of the ne
gotiations for peace now IN progress
through the powers. The memoran-
dun, which was presented to Ahmead
Twefk Pasha, the Turkish minister OF
foreign affairs, by the dean of the diplo-
maticcorps. Baron de Calico. tne Austro-
Hungarian ambassador, enumerates the
conditions which have been accepted
by Greece and begs the porte TO issue
the necessary orders 10 arrest the prog
ress of the Turkish troops.
London, May lathe correspondent
of the Daily Telegraph at Constantine
pie says the sultan resents the media
ton of the powers and desires 10 nego-
tate with Greece directly. If this Is
refused the Turkish demands will be
more exacting.
The Berlin correspondent of the Daily
News says he learns on excellent nu-
thority that the Turkish government
demands a war indemnity of 100000
and the right to occupy Thessaly until
IL is paid.
NJ. Rail- explains that the government
is in serious predicament. In order TO
secure mediation il has compromised
itself in the eyes OF both Greeks and
Cretans, without obtaining u positive
guarantee that Turkey will cense hos
tilities. Should the war be resumed the
position Of the government will be most
unenviable.
Uneasiness prevails here on the sub
ject of peace negotiations. IL is feared
that the reported conditions will render
an agreement difficult and cause fur
ther complications. Ii is expected Rus
STA may propose concessions to the
Macedonians.
Athens. May 13.-The government is
becoming seriously disconnected with
the diplomatic situation. and the opin-
ion is growing that it would be better
TO continue the struggle than to sub
init TO terms wounding the national
honor. Some of the powers favor a
small indemnity, a modification of the
frontier and a limitation of the Greek
feet. But this would never be accepted
by Greece. She possesses the right
to veto the decisions Of the powers. In
their original note the powers called
upon her TO abandon her interests TO
them, but this form was rejected and
the word "intrust" was substituted for
abandon"
London, May 13.-The Times CORE
spondent at Gambia says: 1t is feared
that autonomy will fail TO pacify Crete,
owing to the opposition of the 10000
Cretnn Mohammedans on the island,
who fear that autonomy will end in
union with Greece: while the insur-
gents are still defiant and actually talk
of resisting the departure of the Greek
troops.
Athens. May 13.-It is officially an
nounced that the powers have notified
the Greek government that the Greek
troops may leave the island OF Crete,
and that the admirals of the interna-
tional feet will release the steamers
which have been seized during the
blockade.

Unexpected windfalIs of Wealth Tor
Those Who Needed Them.
While most people find it very hard to
icquiro even modest competency, others
are more lucky, and to them fortunes
come without even tho asking. Several
such instances have occurred of lato years,
some of them of an interesting character.
1t was only IA short while since that poor
ragpicker in Birmingham suddenly found
himself Il man of wealth. By dint Of
working from dawn till late at night he
had been in the habit of making the not
very eXOrbitant income of 81. 90 per week.
One morning he heard from firm of So
licitors in London, who requested him to
call, when he would learn something to
his advantage. He found that long list
brother, who had made money in Aus
tralia. had recently died there, leaving
him u sum of IS, 900
At Tanworth England, tobacconist
has unexpectedly found himself the heir
to n haronctcy. For some time past he
has been in receipt of 25s. sd. a week,
having served rs u sergeant in the Suf-
folk regiment; hut, finding this sum in
adequate, he took a tobacconisG shop at
Tamworth and was apparently contented
with his lot, when he awoke to find him
self baronet of tho United Kingdom.
\ schooner which went ashore OFF tho
American coast with 200 tons of coal,
being abandoned by her owners, WAS sold
for SO. Some 400 tons of coal had been
got out of the hull when suddenly the YES
sci slid off the rock and sank in deep wa
ter, only, however, to float again the next
morning and drift with the tide right
into port. 1t seems that sufficient coal
had ratified through the holes in her bottom
to let the hull como again to the surface
with some 800 tons of coal still i'll. As thu
vessel then stood, she was worth 1000 or
more to those who bought it for SO.
A couple of lucky domestics have lately
| come into possession of u considerable sum
| of money through the death of their mis-,
tress, an old lady of So, who left them her
entire fortune. The sum to be divided Is
| Sl20, 900, and it is bequeathed to them in
recognition Of their long and faithful
services, one OF them having been 25 and
Shc other IS years with the lady in que9'
