though, no doubt, there are grounds to
fear popular manifestation. The officials
of the British Foreign Office confirm the
report that the Turkish commanders have
received orders to arrange with the Greek
commanders for armistice.
WHITE FLAG OF TRUCE.
The Turks yesterday hoisted the white
flag of truce at Arta. A dispatch from
Athens early this morning says: after
hosting the flag of truce a deputation of
Turkish officers appeared on the frontier
at the bridge over the river Arta, to nego-
tiate with Colonel Manos for an armistice
The communication from the Turkish to
the Greek commander ran as follows: ON
condition that no Greek soldier belonging
to any arm of the service remains on ter
ritory of the Ottoman empire, we have
orders that an armistice shall be concluded
on sea and land with view of arriving
mander telegraphed to Athens for instruc-
tions and the government replied We au-
thorize you to suspend hostilities in order
to discuss the conditions of an armistice.
The government, in notifying the ENJOYS
of the powers as to this proposal said that
as Greece had entrusted her interests to the
powers it was for them to negotiate the
conditions of an understanding.
The correspondent of the Daily Telegraph
at Athens says he has absolute proofs that
one of the powers has made serious under
hand attempts to undo the work of the
European concert.
A great many Englishmen think Russia
delayed too long in showing her hand, and
that the proper time to have exerted in
fluence on the Sultan was when Greece ac-
cepted the mediation of the powers. The
Greek premier says that since accepting
mediation the Hellenic army has been act
ing purely on the defensive, and that Ed
hem Pasha's attack on Domokos was prac-
tcally violation of a truce, as Greece
had been led to believe Turkey would
promptly agree to an armistice.
A dispatch to the Daily Chronicle from
Athens says; 1T is officially stated that
Germany has instructed Ter ambassador at
Constantionple to request the Porte to
grant fortnight's armistice, which, it is
understood was signed at O'Clock this
evening (Tuesday)"

Pension ONCE reforms.

WASHINGTON, May 1S.-Commissioner
of Pensions Evans is making an effort to
reduce what he regards as unnecessary
work in his office. He has already inaugu-
rated new methods which have saved the
services of many employees for more i'm
portant work than various details held to be
of no benefit to pensioners and a detriment
to business Another plan that probably
will be adopted is to discontinue the prac-
tice of making detailed receipts of papers
filed by attorneys and requiring them to
fill out the receipts, leaving to the bureau
only the task of verifying the receipt card
and stamping and mailing it. The prac-
tice of keeping a separate record of in
crease claims has been abolished; that of
jacketing claims under the act of June n,
1890, when prior claim under the same law
has been filed has been discontinued as
useless duplication; and the adjudicating
divisions have been asked for reports as
to the number and class of June 27'
claims which have been reopened by the
filing of a new declaration.
