To-MoRRow's eclipse Of the sun will

visible in the United States for q mum
Dor of years, for the reason that 1t Will
be the most considerable. There was
a partial eclipse February 1st, this
year, but it was SO slight that it could
hardly be detected. At to morrow's
eclipse, however, the moon will be
much holder and will blot out about
half OF the SUMS disk. This does not
mean that half OF the suns light will
be taken away from US, for, strange to
say, the amount of light we receive
from the sun is not proportionate to
the extent of the surface of the disk ex
posed to view. 1t depends rather on
The intensity Of the light. Even in the
case OF an annular eclipse, the amour
Il light that comes from the ring sur.
rounding the moon is quite dazzling to
the naked eye. The probability is that
unless people are on the alert for the
phenomenon, their attention will not
be attracted blythe interference Of the
moons body with the SUMS rays. II
there are clouds in the sky, people will
undoubtedly attribute the DINNER light
to them. But with a darkened glass

THE WAR OVER.

The Greek government has made up
its mind to accept the good Offices of
the powers on the terms they prescrib-
ed-the immediate withdrawal of the
Greek troops from Crete and the aban-
donment of all pretensions to sover-
eighty over that island. The powers
will now mediate" That is to say,
they will act as go-between for
Greece and Turkey aud ascertain from
the latter on what conditions Greece
may obtain peace. If Turkey is too
severe, the powers will seek to mitigate
her demands. An armistice will be
sought, but military operations will
continue some days longer, it is
thought, in Thessaly, since Edhem
Pasha is now closing in upon Domokos
and hopes soon to capture large part
of the Greek army at Domokos and
Almyros. If Greece accepts Turkeys
terms promptly peace will be speedily
reached. As Turkey holds Thessaly,
the revenues of that province will, it is

of Turkeys war expenses.
a dispatch from Athens says: There
is feeling Of intense relief here at the
ending of the war. Prime Minister
Ralli, in an interview yesterday, said
that the government had decided to
confide the interests of Greece to the
powers, because it was confident that
they would refuse to leave an inch of
Grecian territory in the hands of the
Sultan. Nevertheless, the opinion
seems to prevail in ministerial circles
that Turkey will not consent readily to
obey the powers. The collective note
of the powers offering to arrange an
armistice and conclude peace between
Greece and Turkey was presented to
Nj. Skouloudis. minister of foreign af
fairs by the Russian minister, NJ. Onon.
During the negotiations preceding
the note of the powers to Greece a
majority of the powers assured Greece
that the terms of peace would favor
her.
The Greek troops are already leaving
Crete on board three Greek steamers.
