TEN DAYS GRACE GIVEN.
THE SULTAN EXTENDS THE TINE
FOR GREEKS TO LEAVE TUR-
KEY. BIG BATTLE IMMI-
NENT ON THE PLAINS
OF THEsSALY.

From the Metropolis
CoHstantinople, April 30.-The
question of the protection of
Greeks in Turkey is still unset
tied. The Porte argues that tie
war has virtually annulled the
treaties between Turkey and
Greece, and that Grecian sui :.
rjects, therefore, lose their rights
that their foreign certificates
give them. Cambon, the French
Ambassador, had an interview
with Tewfilx Pasha and discussed
this subject today, and alta coun-
Gil of ministers held later pro-
posal was submitted that the Sui
tan grant the Greeks an extern
sion of time to quit the country,
and it is probable that this will
be done as d means of surlnount-
ing the difficulty. The arming of
the entire Turkish army with the
Mauser rifles has been decided
upon. The troops at CONSTANT
nople are already supplied.
TEN DAYS OF GRACE GIVEN.
London, April 3O.-Ten days
delay has been granted the
-
Greeks who are desirous of leav-
ing Constantinople.
TELEGRAPH DELAY IN GREECE.
New York, April 3O.-The CEN
tral cable office of the Western
Union Telegraph Company an
nounced this morning that the
Hellenic telegraph administra-
tion advises us that press tele-
grams from Greek provinces are
subject to delay owing to the
pressure Of work.
BIG BATTLE IMMINENT.
Athens, April 30.-Thc head
quarters of the staff of the
Greek army at Pharsamos are
completely changed. The for
mer officers have all resigned
started for Athens. The Greeks
have fallen back on Pharsalos.
Railway communication between
Volo and Pharsalos has been re-
stored. The advance guards OF
the Turkish divisions have
moved forward from all points
and taken various positions on
the Thessalian plains. Roth ar.
mics arc now in immediate con
tact and a great battle is believed
to be imminent. Prince Constan
tine is visiting the different Greel
camps encoura ging his troops.

1t used to be urged that the English

simplest meal without the glass Of beer
or flagon of ale. 1t began to be realized
that the drink cost more than the
meat, and an effort was made some
years ago to see if restaurants could
not be established and successfully
maintained in which nothing stronger
than coffee, tea, milk, lemonade and
the like were to be had.

LONDON RESTAURANTS.

To be we'll nourished seems to be
considered an imperative duty with the
English people. Perhaps it is this re-
gard for the body, their wholesome
food out-of-door life, frequent bathing
and exercise, that has made them the
sturdy and hardy race that they have
been for so many centuries. There has
been little change in their diet, at least
in the main features, bacon, beef and
mutton; bacon and eggs, with plain
tarts and puddings by way of the nee
essary sweets; these form now, as they
did a hundred years ago, the almost
daily menu Of every fine old English
gentleman. There are also the same
beefsteak and kidney pies, pork pies,
and in some localities the black pud-
ding, which can hardly tempt even the
Unsuitable curiosity of the American
tourist.
One of the profoundest mysteries Of
English living is the disparity of the
price Of food as it is demonstrated by
the American lOdger who does his own
buying and the low rate charged for
the same articles, cooked and served
in the restaurants. There is no place
in America where food can be bought
so well cooked and so cheap as in the
average English restaurant or inn
Even in the small places frequented by
laborers and watermen along the
Thames the bread is always sweet, the
butter good, and the eggs, bacon and
tea above reproach.
In these poorer places table linen is
not used, neither table cloths nor nap
kins; but the oak tables are rubbed
and polished, and the heavy stone
ware, the big cups that hold a pint of
tea and the plates, always sizzling hot
for the chop, are as smooth to the touch
as the Sevres upon any lady's luncheon
table.
CHEAP EATING HOUSES.
The tables in these cheap eating
houses are merely a heavy board, one
end resting against the wall and the
other supported upon two legs, and
