LONDON, Nov. 15-The usually well-in-
formed correspondent Of the Times at
Vienna says: 1.-THE final treaty of peace
between Turkey and Greece has not yet
been signed, and the negotiations of the
powers with respect to autonomy for Crete
have hardly emerged from the initial stage
when already there are disquieting symp-
toms in the Balkans. The relations be-
tween Bulgaria and the Porte are strained.
The Sultan is preparing for all eventuali-
ties, and 100000 Turkish soldiers are eche-
loned on the Bulgarian frontier, armed
with Mausers and amply provided with
horses and guns Servia, of course, would
be involved in any complications in connec-
ton with Macedonia while recent accounts
from Albania report signs of growing un-
rest. On the whole. the outlook in the East
is noWise reaSSuring."

BISHOP OF MAJORCA DEAD.
Catholic PreIate Who ExcOmmuni-
Gated a SDanish Minister

MADRID, Nov. 1.-THE bishop of the do
cese of Majorca, Balearic Isles, who last
September excommunicated Senor ]. Ma
varro Reverter. minister of finance in the
Cabinet of General Marcelo de Azcarraga,
for an alleged conversion of church prop
erty to government uses, is dead.
The act of accommodation above men,
toned, with the friction it entailed between
the ecclesiastical and political authorizes,
was believed at the time to be prominent
factor in fastening the fall of the Azcar-
raga Ministry, which resigned on Sept. 20
last. The Bishop of Majorca issued the de-
cree of accommodation in defiance of the
order of the archbishop to the contrary,
and it was read in all the churches of the
diocese on Sept. 19. Several influential
prelates, however, approved the course of
Ithe bishop, and their attitude in the matter
being absolutely opposed to that of ali the
members of the Cabinet, who appealed TO
the Pope against the decree through the
Papal nuncio at Madrid, raised a compli-
Gated issue. The Cabinet relied on the die
tum of the nuncio that the bishop had no
jurisdiction over the minister and on his
further assurance that the Pope would un-
doubtedly censure the bishop. The fact
that the latter was notorious sympathiZer
with the Carlist movement greatly aggra-
waited the situation. Eventually the Vati-
can informed the Spanish government that
the church would not withdraw the excom-
munication unless it should be proved that
the property alleged to have been confis-
Gated did not belong to the church.

A SURGICAL TRIUMPH.
John Ryan Can Now Wink with q
Pigs Eyelfd.

LONDON, Nov. 14.-A surgical operation
which has attracted universal interest was
performed this week by DR.. Maxwell in
the Dublin Ophthalmic Hospital. 1t con-
sisted of grating the eyelfd of a recently
killed pig to that of man. The patient,
John Ryan, is an army pensioner, who for
some years has been under treatment for
ophthalmia. Owing to the loss Of his left
eyelid it was found impossible to cure his
eye, for when it was exposed to the light
without the protection of the led, the dis
ease would reappear. DR.. Maxwell deter
mined to make an experiment. A healthy
pig was selected and three medical men
went to the slaughter house with the pa
tient In a cab A screen was erected which
incOsed the chamber, but was open 70 6i-
rect light in the sky. The pig was stuck In
the usual way and as its blood outpoured
at the throat DR.. Maxwell. with q swift
stroke Of the lancet, cut Off it's eyelid. The
edge of the patients eyelld, where the at
tachment was to be made, had been cut,
and as quick as thought DIR. Maxwell.
whilst the pigs eyelid was still living, at
tached II to the mans eyelid. The piece
was instantly made fast by stitches.
Reports received from Dublin to-day say
the operation has been most successful.
The adhesion of the pigs eyelid to the edge
of the patients is perfect and there is every
prospect that the desired object will be at
rigidly the professional etiquette among
physicians here forbids anything savoring
of advertisement that DR.. Maxwell has felt
compelled to state that he had nothing to
do with the publicity given to his ingenious
operation.

MUNCIE, Ind, Nov. 1.-THE rural free
delivery experiment, which the Postoffice
Department is making in this district is
proving a success. The residents of the
favored districts were not informed of the
intentions Of the department, and the first
visit of the carriers was very slow, it being
necessary for them to stop long enough at
each house to explain to the women the
object of their mission. They informed
them they would see them each morning,
and that they could give orders for parcels
from the stores one day and have them de-
livered the next The days work was ex-
ceedingly hard, AS every resident on the
routes was visited and formal instructions
were given The fourth days delivery
showed 80 per cent. of the people getting
mail, and since that time there has been
a gradual increase. caused principally by

the Tombs left the courthouse buildings.
She went to corroborate a part of her con-
fession and tomorrow the authorities hope
to be able to locate the saw with which
it is claimed Thorn dismembered the body
Of Guldensuppe. The party drove out Jack
son avenue and through Woodside but not
near the now notorious cottage on Second
street, where the murder occurred, on
through Corona and Flushing to point be-
tween Flushing and College Point, known
as College Hill. In her confession Mrs.
Mack had indicated the locality in which
the saw was buried. She thought she
could find the spot and when taken there
indicated the vicinity. She was not sure
of the exact place where the saw was in
terred, but was sure she was able to tell
within a few feet When the spot was To-
Gated as nearly as possible the three re-
entered the coach and it was driven back
to Long Island City. The driver made de-
tour this time to avoid going within sight
of the cottage, as ii was now daylight, and
the cottage might have been seen in the
distance. The coach soon reached the Jail

ST. JOHNS, N. F., Nov. 14.-The Cabinet

office Tuesday next at noon, Sir William
Whiteway and his colleagues in the retir-
ing Ministry resigHing their portfolios two
hours earlier. The new premier will prob
ably, Immediately on attaining power, claim
a representation for the colony of New
foundland at the reciprocity conference be-
tween the United States and Canada now
sitting at Washington. His justification for
this step is the fact that the late James G.
Blaine, when secretary of state signed a.
reciprocity convention with Newfoundland
dated in 1890. The British government
disalloWed this treaty because Canada was
not included in it's preferential arrange
ments. Now Newfoundland will claim that
Canada is not entitled to negotiate for rec
iprocity unless Newfoundland is included in
the benefits Of the scheme.

Our Relations with Miss Canada.

LONDON. Nov. 15.-The Daily Chronicle,
in a special article this morning on the
meaning of the Canadian negotiations at
Washington, reviews the past commercial
relations between Canada, Great Britain
and the United States, and says: 'Impor-
tant communications have passed during
the last few days between Downing street
and Ottawa; and the cordial reception
which the Canadian ministers are meeting
at the hands of the Washington officials
and the American press makes it quite pos
sible that we are on the eve of a most hap
py change of attitude towards one another
of the three countries"
The writer of the Daily Chronicles ar
ticle concludes by inquiring: lis Canadian
reciprocity with the United States to take
the place of exclusive preference for Great
Britain? 1t would disappoint many in this
country. but the question must be viewed
in the broad light of Anglo-American rela-
tions. No one will deny that Canada, the
United States and the mother country have
each far more to gain from closer inter-
course than from the present policy Of COM
mercial and political e2clusiveness."

WASHINGTON, Nov H-Adjutant Cen
eral Breck, in his report to Major General
Miles, calls attention to the heavy draft
that is made on the effective strength Of
the army by detailing officers to colleges

tinue to prove satisfactory. He also COM

CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov A.--In connec-
ton with the announcement just made by
the Russian ambassador to the Turkish
government that Russia will demand the
unpaid arrears of the Russo-Turkish war
indemnity If the Porte applies any part OF
the Greek war indemnity to an increase of
Turkish armaments, it is now pointed out
that when, some time ago, General Brial-
mont submitted to the Porte plans for arm
ing the forts at the entrance of the Bos-
phorus, Russia intimated that she would
consider this hostile act In Difference to
the intimation then given, the Porte aban-
doned the Bosphorus scheme. Russia's at
titude with respect to the present plans for
reorganizing the Turkish navy is considered
here a logical result of her recent policy
to keep Turkey weak
