Assistant Secretary of the Treasury aam-
lin, advisory agent of the United States
in the negotiations with Great Britain for
an agreement to protect the seal heris in
the Bering Sea. has arrived from San

partment that it would send another ex-
merit com mission to Bering Sea during the
present season. The com mmission will con-

Termination Of the Pitiable Scenes Of Terror
at Volo by the Final Occupation Of
the City by the Turkish

The Nails correspondent mentions the
finding in an abandoned house of an old
man dying from hunger. Continuing, the
dispatch says: "The tension at midnight
was uncomfortable. The military authori-
ties had fed and the civil authorities were
dying from fear. The British and French
Consuls and correspondents resolved to go
to Velestino and arrange for an informal
capituIation of Volo. They returned at
O'Clock in the morning with Nedjib Bey
and a troop of cavalry under a flag of
truce and the British and French flags.
"The entry into Volo was a triumphal
one. The inha bitants fianked the road in
black masses. Many of them had donned
cession until it grew to the size OF a regi-
ment, then OF all army. All the shops
were shut. but the people were not
alarmed. They behaved as though it was
a holiday. Upon reaching the town hall
the chief actors entered. Nedjib Bey, ad
dressing the Mayor, read a proclamation
issued by Edhem Pasha, announcing that
Volo was under the Turkish flag.
''The proclamation declared there would
be no violence, outrage or pillage for
peaceable residents, but severe punish
ment would be inflicted upon plunderers
and bandits. Later the proclamation was
read from the balcony of the town hall,
the crowd outside showing great relief
when it heard the declarations. The Turk
ish commander-in-chief and the Sultan
were enthusiastically cheered.
"The Greek warship Psara remained in
port. She was asked to leave in accord
ance with previous promise that The
Greek vessel should be Withdrawn. Her
com mander replied with an insulting re-
fusal, though promising not to fire unless
there were disorders. Thereupon the ves-
sci was ordered to leave Immediately.
Later the Turkish occupying force, very
dusty, but orderly and with bands play
ing, entered the city,

scene outside the town hall as extremely
touching. There was a sea of white up

INDICATE AN ATTACK.
Significant Movements OF the Main
Turkish Army in the Vicinity
Of DhomOko.

SlgnHlCant movements OF the Main
Turkish Army in the Vicinity
Of Dhomoko.
LONDON, ENG, May 9.-An Athens dis
patch to the Daily News says the main
Ottoman army is at Vryssa and Tehatma,
midway between Pharsala and Dhomoko.
Its movements indicate an impending at
tack upon the posts at Dhomoko. The
dispatch remarks upon the splendid posi-
ton the Greeks occupy, and says their
right might be successfully assailed by
mountain artillery, but it is difficult to
see how their left could possibly be car.
Tied. General Smolenski, the hero of
Velestino, is expected to speedily join the
main Greek army with his brigade.
The Times tomorrow will say edi-
torialIy: 1.-THE powers cannot call on Tur-
key to withhold her victorious hand until
assured enthusiastically that Greece will
submit to the terms which they may de-
eide fair. 1t is all nonsense TO talk of
the humiliation this will involve for Greece
and for driving her to desperation.
Nothing the majority OF the powers
assent to is likely to be of character TO
drive any reasonable nation to despera-
ton. They will see that Greece gets fair
terms and more. but they are net likely
to tie their hands by bargaining as to
what the terms will be. II she wants in
tervention she can have it. but cannot
have intervention and the privilege of
making her own bargain, too"

slight conflict in the reports. it is clear
enough that Greece has by no means ap-
preached the powers in an attitude of
supplication. Most reliable statements

felt it impossible 10 appeal to them to in

amities, acceded; but felt its position
strong enough to stipulate certain con-
di,ions as already stated.
Here is where the delay occurs. While
it is declared in one direction that Greece S
stipulations are of such mild character
the powers are almost certain to acquiesce
in them, it is stated on the other hand
that Germany IS sticking for conditions
that Greece cannot possibly accept, they
being calculated to shake the very fouuda-
ton of the State This is interpreted to
be a demand that the dynasty be de-
throned.
The Athens correspondent OF the Chroni-
Gle, probably referring to this, says he is
IN position to say that If the concert is
instigated by one inimical power with a
wish to impose conditions touching the in
tegrity OF the kingdom and national honor,
the situation, though bad, is not des-
perate, and the national forces are not ex-
hausted. 1t is expected in ali quarters the
powers will definitely reDly Tomorrow
Prime Minister Ralli believes the i'm
mediate effect of the note will be fort
nights armistice, but Turkeys unwilling
ness to agree to this has already been
noted. The Turkish soldiery are eager
for more fighting, and they are supported
by the war party in Constantinople, which
is daily gaining strength. Even the re-
cent peace advocates are being carried
along with the current. However, the
ablest Turks equally with the diplom ats,
are keenly alive to internal dangers to the
Ottoman empire from the victorious
army.
Anyhow it seems impossible the powers
will allow hostillties to be continued until
peace is definitely settled. If they do,
probably the bloodest work OF the war is
yet to come.
The royal family is working actively to
obtain establishment OF Deace. It is
believed the Car, at the instance of
Queen Olga, will use his influence at Con-
,tantinope to secure an armistice, and
also for the evacuation of Thessaly by the
Turkish troops. Crown Princess Sophie

William, to secure the same ends.

R0HsyN TO BE REPRlMANDE1
His Indiscretion on the Parade Grounds
censursd-7he Captain WW Pursue
O'6rien.

ATLANTA, Ca, May 9-Much surprise
has been created here by the announce
ment on positive authority that the ver-
dict of the Romevn court-martial is not
an acquitlal for Captain Henry Romeyn.
The findings, which are now before Gen.
eral Merritt, head of the Department of
the East, recommend that Romeyn be
reprimanded. There was not dissenting
vote on the verd let but some discussion
as TO how it should be couched. Undoubt-
edly the severity of the sentence was miti-
gated by the fact that Romeyn Is to retire
in thirty days on account OF age, and so
the court-martial wished to let him off as
lightly as possible in view OF his record OF
thirty-four years of faithful service.
The court censures Romeyn for indis-
cretion in knocking down Lieutenant
O. Brien on the parade ground. The court
felt, however, that there was sufficient
volume of gossip at the barracks re ard
ing tie conduct of Mrs. O. Brien to warrant
him in making the comments he did.
From the same source comes the news
that the charges preferred against Lieu
tenants Bamford and O'Brien by Romeyn
will pe ignored for the present, the de-
partment being convinced that Romeyn
was influenced by feelings of a purely per-
sonal nature in lodging the complaints,
and that if they were in good faith and
for the good of the service they should
have been filed at the time of the occur
renee of the provoking actions.
Romeyn states that if the department
carries out this policy he will prosecute
his charges to the greatest possible extent
as soon as his prospective retirement re-
leases him from the necessity of employ
ing regimental methods. tie will then
appeal direct to the adjutant-general at
Washington to order hearing OF charges.
1t is said that the report OF the court
martial passes some severe structures IN
the prevalence of goss ip as a novel and
unnecessary element in military life.

The correspondent of the Times in
Athens telegraphs the change in public
sentiment is so great that no opposition
whatever has been provoked by the de-
cision OF the Government to abandon
Crete.
CANEA, CRETE May 9.-An exodus OF
Christian volunteers is beginning. The

PARIS, FRANCE May "a semi-official
ing the report that Greece had written 10
the diplomats in Athens with a view to
obtaining the mediation OF the powers.
The diplomats, with one exception, &C
knowledged the receipt of the note, prom
isng to use their good offices to bring
about the desired end. Baron Won Pies
sen, the German Minister, merely ac-
knowedged the receipt of the note, add
ing he was awaiting instructions from his
Government. The Portes note states that
il Will not consent to an arlnistice, not de-
string that the Greeks shall be enabled to
reorganize under the pretext that they
are treating for peace. The Sultan will.
however be conci!iatory, adhering to his
promise to grant autonomy 20 Crete.
While II Is not expected the demand will
be eAcessive for war indemnity, he will
ask for a slight strategic modification OF
the frontier near Nezeros.
LONDON. ENG, May 9.-In an inter.
view to-day with the Athens corTespon-
dent OF the Daily News, Premier Rail-
ssid the diplomats hai informed his Gov
eminent that if the Greek troops were
Withdrawn from Crete the powers would
offer their mediation. The Government
acceded to- the advice of the diplomats
and asked for the free passage OF ship to
bring the troops to the PiI@us.
dispatch TO the Daily Mail from Volo,
describing the visit of the French and
British Consuls to Edhem Pasha at Veles-
tino for the purpose of arranging the sur
render of the town, says the panic in Volo
caused by a fear OF the Turks attacking
the place lasted Two weeks. The British
consulate was besieged and almost de-
,molished by a maddened crowd seeking
protection. English newspaper repre-
sentatives insisted upon serving with the
police to protect the consulate. When
after the second battle at Velestino
the Greek army retired to Almyros, the
panic in Volo was terrible. People
crowded around Europeans in the streets,
seized them by the clothing and begged
for protection.

telligent physician in some arrangement
of the complicated and delicate feminine
organs of generation. The woman who
half understands herself, feels that she
cannot always be complaining; she cam
not always have the doctor in the house.
The young girl suffers, bodily and men
tally, in silence. The trouble usually
comes so gradually it is attributed to
some outside cause. There IS undue
weariness unexpected pain, unreason-
able tears and fits of temper. All these
symptoms are simply protests OF the
silent, long suffering nerves. The trouble
shows in dark circles below the eyes, a
downward curve of the mouth, sallow,
brownish-yellow neck.
Unregarded, the trouble grows. A
few years of tortured invalidism, probably
insanity, before merciful death comes.

fruit of years of study. 1t is the product
of an investigating mind united with

of extracts of herbs that makes

directly upon the distinctly feminine

WHAT TO EAT THESE HOT DAYS
Healthful Dishes That Can Be Pre-
pared With Little Fire.

During the hot MONTHS" writes
Mrs. S. T. Rorer, in the August Ladies'
Home Journal, "the diet should con-
sist largely of adinty, cold, lean meat,
green succulent vegetables, and fruits.
It is a popular fallacy that the free
use of sub-acid fruits during hot wea-
Their causes disturbances of the bowels
No diet is more healthful than ripe
friut provided it is properly masticated
and swallowed before or after bread
and butter but never with it.
THE lighter wheat preparations,
such as farina, wheatlet and glutena,
should be substituted for the heat-giv-
ing oatmeal for breakfast, Cook enou-
yh one morning to last two as they are
Just as palatable cold as they are hot.
While fried food may seem little out
Of place in the warm weather there
are certain light dishes that may be
utilized for breakfast. Cornmeal or
hominy croquettes, or even rice GRO
luettes, may be made the day before

Squash, and cucumbers may be dipped
and fried. In the chafing-dish one
may have Clipped beef, creamed or

little chopped ice sprinkled over it.
Fruit that is very acid should not be

cream should accompany the fruit

North Carolina Child Unconsciously
becomes n Serpent Eater.

News is just received of peculiar
happening in Mecklenburg county, not
far from the county line of Union, in
which little May, the granddaughter of
Hugh Helms, unconsciously became a
serpent eater. May, while playing in
the garden, pulled up the stalk of a
large onion and began to eat it. After
the child had eaten the first mouthful
Mays grandmother discovered blood is
suing from the corners of the little
ones mouth. Immediate examination
was made, and to the horror of the ex-
cited grandmother it was discovered
that young snake had secreted itself
in the stalk of the onion and that the
little one had bitten off the reptiles
