Almighty God. we seek Thy presence

in the discharge of this days duties. Help
these men to remember the poor, tax
burdened people of this great State. Con-
tract we pray Thee the capacious NAV of
the penal, refOrmatory, charitable and ed
vocational institutions of Illinois. May they
learn TO be content with less money, and
may we who refuse to worship a golden

other form Forbid that any foreigner
visiting our shores shall ever again have
occasion to write:
" Money! Money! is all their cry;
Moneys the total sum.
Give us money else we die!
OH let the money conner
And we will ever give Thee endless
praise. Amen" This prayer was greeted

SAN FRANCISCO, June 3.--The attorneys
for Theodore Durrant again appeared be-

Of supersedeas for the purpose of staying

in view of the denial of the writ of super

PEACE NEGOTIATIONS.
ambassadors of the Powers Meet at
ConstantinOpIe-The Armistice.

COnstantinOpIe-The Armistice.
LONDON, June 3.-The first sitting of the
Graeco-Turkish peace negotiations was held
this afternoon at the Topane Palace, Con-
stantinople between the ambassadors Of
powers and Tewfik Pasha, Turkish minister
for foreign affairs. No secretary was pres
ent, and the only record that will be kept
of the proceedings was such as each en-
bassador will make for himself. It is I'M
derstoOd that the result of three hours of
elaboration was that Count Nelidoff, the
Russian ambassador, will prepare mem
orandum as to the rectification of the from
tier; M. Cambon, the French ambassador,
memorandum as to the capituIations in the
case of Greek subjects in Turkey. and Sir
II. Philip Curry, the British ambassador,
a memorandum as to indemnity. The con-
ference then adjourned to meet again on
Saturday next to consider these memoir
andums.
A dispatch from Athens says: Although
the armistice has been signed in EpruS
and Thessaly a special clause stipulates
that a meeting of the Greek and Turkish
delegates shall be held to-day to settle the
details of the armistice on the sea. If
there should be a failure to agree in this
matter the whole convention will be void.
The Turkish delegates demand that all YES
sells under the Turkish or any neutral flag
shall be freely admitted to Greek ports,
that on the coast of Macedonia and EpiruS
the Greek fleet shall be withdrawn beyond
the range of the guns, on Turkeys under
taking that neither troops nor contraband
OF war will be landed. The Greek govern
ment objects to being deprived of the right
of search. In Difference to the advice of
the powers, however, the Cabinet will
probably yield. Ihe armistice is to con-
tinue until the conclusion of the peace
negotiations. In the event that these should
prove abOrtive either party must give TWEEN
ty-four hours notice of intention to re-
sumo hostilities.
There is a rumor that the government is
inclined to offer the fleet instead of an in
demnity, on the ground that it would be
impossible for Greece to wage another war
for at least ten years. and that then the
vessels would be obsolete.
