on His Flying Machine.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, May 17.-After
much difficulty in getting off yester-
day afternoon at o'clock, Professor
Barnard attempted another voyage
with his airship. 1t sailed aloft rapid
ly, and as Professor Barnard vigorous
ly worked the bicycle pedals of his
steering and propelling attach
me1t, the airship turned around
several times, but was drift
ing with the wind. 1t passed over
the centennial grounds, foated rapidly
over the city at high altitude in a
northeasterly direction, and passed
out of sight in the gathering twilight.
At about 7:45 o'clock the machine
landed near Madison, about twelve
miles east of this city. Professor Bar
nard says of this trial trip: II find
can manipulate the machine right or
left, even in light wind. This is cer-
tain. l cannot go directly against
wind of eight miles an hour with mus
cular power, as at present arranged,
but by cutting across obliquely, 1 can
make progress in the direction de-
sired"
Further trips, with changes in ap-
paratus, will be made

Comparative Calm at q Time When .
General Revival Was Expected.
New YORK, May 17.-Bradstreet's
says: "The unexpected falling off in
the request for staple goods within a
month has resulted in a period of com
parative calm at a time when a gen.
eral revival in demand had been
looked for. Wholesalers report that
the volume of business consists of fill
ing orders, even Chicago not claiming
more than to have held its own in vol
ume of goods distributed. Interior
merchants continue to buy for nearby
wants only, and in many directions
farmers are too busy with field work
to supply their wants at the country
stores.
There are 251 business failures re-
ported throughout the United States
this week, compared with 22s last
week, 265 in the corresponding week
one year ago, and 21O two years ago,
1856 three years ago, and as compared

ATHENS, May 17.-This morning a

the Turkish garrison at Prevesa sent
the Greek archbishop and five notabil-
tiles of Prevesa to the commander of
the besieging Greek army with a mes
sage saying that the Turkish force was
ready to capitulate to the regular
forces of Greece.
General Smolenski has dismissed all
the irregulars from his camp, believ-
ing that they are responsible for many
of the Greek disasters, and he threat

intrudes among his troops.
CoNsTANTINoPIE, May 15.-The sum
of e1s, 900, 900 Turkish) is mentioned
here as the amount of the indemnity
Turkey will demand from Greece.
Placards have been posted in the Stam-
boul quarter protesting against the
shedding of Musseulman blood, be-
cause the great sacrifices imposed upon
Turkey by the war are out of proper

The sultan acting, it is said, on the ad-
vice of the emperor of Germany has
refused to grant an armistice until the
basis of peace shall have been ap-
proved by him.
The sultan has instructed Edhem
Pasha, the Turkish commander in
Thessaly, to take special care of the
works of antiquity in Greece and pre-
vent his soldiers from doing any dam
age to them. The Turkish general
was further instructed to send all the
movable articles of value to the Otto

Thessaly after peace between Turkey
and Greece should have been concluded.
This declaration may possibly be only
put forward as feeleI leading up to
later intimation that Russia NAV not

tion of Thessaly to the Turkish en-
pire. 1t is known, however, that the
foreign Office is much concerned over

principles which Washington taught
and Lincoln sustained"
