READY TO RESUME IOSTI1ITlES lr NEED DI-h
SEVERE TFsr OF THE CONCERT OF
THE POWERS.
London July 7-Greco-Turkish affairs appear
to be re-entering an interesting stage To-day
the Porte dispatched a circular to It's repre-
sentatives abroad containing skilful defence
OF the Turkish case and declining to consider
any frontier line In Thessaly north OF the River
Peneios, which II regards as the natural bound
airy.
II appears that the Sultan has convinced HIM
self that the Powers will not resort to coercion
and has decided to test the alleged concert OF
Europe to the utmost. On Monday he summoned
Council Of Ministers for an extraordinary
sitting to the Yildiz Kiosk with the result that'
after a heated discussion. report was drawn
up in favor of resumng hostties IL peace
should not be concluded within week The
Minister Of War sent kilograms to Edhem
Pacha announcing the decision.
This accords with all the news received FOR
the last ten days The Turks are rapidly
strengthening their positions In Thessaly. mass
ing troops at Domokos, terrifying Velestino
and in other ways intrenching themselves more
firmly. The Thessalian harvest has already been
reaped by the Turkish sodery. and large guam
titles of grain have been stored at Elassona
According to a crcumstantial report Of
conversation between the Sultan and an officer
OF his household. Abdul Hamed complained that
the war had been forced upon him. and that
when he was victorious europe refused him
either territory or indemnity. Therefore he In
tended to resist TO the utmost He said:
I'VE have nothing to fear The six Powers
failed to coerce Vassos and his two thousand
Adventures. What can they do against 100000
victorious troops in Rumea?
"Supposing they wished to coerce me. who
would undertake the task? l have information
from all the capitals Of Europe indicative OF the
indecsion of the Powers.
"Edhem was fool not to have surrounded the
Greek army and to have advanced to Athens;
but he may be there yet. II no concessions are
made within a few days shall give the order
to advance We can dictate our own terms from
the Acropolis. Everything is ready Tor lmiheui-
ate action. - ,,.,
According to this report the Sultan discussed
the possibility Of Russia and Germany attempt
ing coercion, and declared that ne was eh'iei'
ready to meet them both.
The foregoing may be perhaps orIy piui
and IL is even alleged in some quarters. among
others by .he Italian Admiral Canevaro at
crete that peace Is actually in view. But IL is
SIGNIFICANT that General Smolenski had long
conferences with King George and NJ Ram az

ALABAMA STATE LAND co.
The Board of Directors Hold Strictly
 Business Meeting--Tendered Ban quet by Maj. Anderson.

The board of directors of the Alabama State Land company met in this city yesterday Among those present were the president of the company, MT. Charles Schiff, of London, and Vice-Pres- ident Harvey, who is also president of the New Orleans and Northeastern, Vicksburg. Shreveport and Pacific and Alabama and Vicksburg railways.
 The meeting was strictly of a business nature and so far the body has given out nothing of public interest of their delib- erationS.
 MT. Schiff reports that England is en- joying prosperous era Tn industrial and commercial lines. Says the trouble with the people of the United States is lack of oonfid nee That they have the money but are afraid to let 1t out, and condi- tiors will not improve until they over come this tmidity. Says England has not yet passed judgment on McKinley's adfninistra ton, sc, far he has done notI- ing and his people are awaiting to see what he does before passing judgment.
 English capitalists, he says, are rather favorable to the south, in fact they re- gard the south as in better condition than any other portion of the United States. That they are well versed as to the south's resources and possibilities, hence are disposed to invest here.
 The bo I'd was t. nd r d a del ght ul re- ception last night by that prince of en- i tertainers, Mai. Frank Y. Anderson, the company's general manager, at his home, No. 720 North Twenty-first street. Quite a number of prominent guests were around the festive board, among whom was Gov. Joseph F. Johnston.
