FAVORABLE TO GREEcE.--An Athens

FAVORABLE TO GREECE.--An Athens
correspondent says: "The dispatches
which the government has received
from the representatives of Greece
abroad all indicate that the peace nego-
tiations have taken q turn more favor
able to Greece. Turkeys proposal to
occupy Thessaly no longer receives any
consideration, owing to highlands at
titude, while the proposal to abolish
the capitulations in the case of Greek
subjects in Turkey is rejected and the
suggested extradition treaty is appar-
emily set aside. The powers have fixed
f6, 00O, 900 as the highest limit of in
demnity, and will allow only such q
strategic alteration of the frontier as
will not involve the subsection of any
inhabited district to Turkish rule. Ger
many's demand for an international
control of Greek finances has not been
favorably received, as the government
hopes to raise Il loan abroad on the
guarantee of England, Russia and
France, at low interest, to pay the in
demnity, conceding certain revenues,
but not accepting the principle of for
eign control"

THE REPUBLICAN House tariff bill,
unjust and unequal as it was, was not
as much so as it has been made by the
republican Senate, for while it allowed
rich Americans travelling abroad to bring
home with them, exempt from customs

of foreign made wearing apparel, the
Senate bill has removed that r%estric-
ton, so that if it pass, they q bring
home, free of duty, enough clothing to

when, it being stated that there are no
available American ships, Senator Nor
gan suggested that two English vessels

THOUGH THERE is two ten hundred

of Congress was called last March, which
