War Between Greece ani Turkey to Cease.
The Powers Intervene.

The British premier, Lord Salisbury. is Of
opinion that ns n result OF the war between
Greece and Turkey nll danger Of general
European war has been dissipated, and that
the peace Of Europe. apart from local consid-
erations, has been placed on better basis
than ever before. He recognizes the fact.
no@ generally conceded, that Turkey In the
conflict has exhibited proofs OF strength
which none expected, and that perhaps
better future IL opening for her, but IN the
Ottoman empire should collapse he holds II
will be a peaceful explosion.
collective note, agreed to by all the pow
ers, has been sent to the Grecian and Turk
ish governments calling on them to cease
hostilities and the Towers will arrange for
peace. The Greeks, from all accounts, were
awaiting notification Of this kind to let
themselves down IA easily and with ms little
loss of Prestige IA possible. Recently they
have been exhibiting great galantry and
considerable military skill in their move
ments, but the contest IL hopeless one for
them, as they are outnumbered at all points,
and besides have exhausted their resources
in military equipment. while Turkey is
stronger than when the war broke out both
in men and In war material. The Greeks
have been steadily driven southwark from
the Milouna pass on the northern border;
then from Iarssa. and lastly from Pharsala.
They now occupy n strong position in the
mountains south Of Pharsuln, not far from
the pass Of Thermopyae. The fighting in
and about pharsala aud Velestino, before the
Greeks were driven out on Wednesday. was
the most severe OF the war. The Greeks
fought bravely, but were vnstly outnumbcr-
ed, and after stubborn and bloody resistance
had to fall back
The Greek and Turkish armies will rest In
their present positions, under an armistice
imposed by the powers, while the negotia-
tions for permanent peace are In progress.
Greece will probably have to pay n war in
demnty, and will be allowed to retain lts
present boundaries, but forced 10 give up al
prctentions to Crete. and withdraw its troops
from the island. The sting OF defeat may
eventuate Ia the overthrow OF King George
and his dynasty and the proclamation CT n

fancy for n republic in southeastern Europe.

GERMANY CLAIMS PRIVILEGES.
Foreign Minister Ia5ists that the Unitsd
States Can Max, no Discrimination.

In the Rechstag Count Won Kanltz asked
the government what measures 1t had taken
to offset tho new American tariff, and in
sisted that obstacles should be placed In the
way OF importations from the United States.
Baron Marshall Won Bieberstein. minister of
foreign affairs. answered that precedents
favored the observance OF the treaty Of 1912
between the United States and Prussia, and
the United States had always been recogriz-
ed as included in the list Of most favored
nations, the treaty beiiic particularly appli-
cable against any kind Of difrerential treat
ment H. the way OF taxation or 10 imports
of one government 10 the detriment Of the
other.
The minister stated that Germany had pro-
tested against the surtax imposed by the
Dingley bill upon sugar from bounty paying
countries. and that the American reply was
that the matter was to be referred to the
chairman OF the Senate committee. He
believed il would be mistake TO adopt rcso-.
lutions in the present unsettled state OF af-
fairs. and could only ask the Reichstag to
haye confidence in the federal governments.

"Great Britain has removed every ham

OF American territory, scores OF her cities

OF the English market alone. Yet tho senate
committee has just piled up tho most
vexatious, harrassing and impenetrable wall
Of tariffs that any nation ever formed against
another, while the senate itself has decided
against q permanent machinery for the
peaceable settlement of the disputes. Tho
much abused diplomats were advised that
the treaty would be accepted, but the poll
ticians preferred to listen to the counsels OF
an ex-convct and sworn enemy OF England,
who. having taken the oath OF allegiance to
the queen, spends bis vacation in Washing

patiently for an opportunity to twist the

terially the market for American butter and
gain some OF the trade with Great Britain
In particular, which Denmark practically
controls with considerable profit. An in

mcnts are needed In transportation facilities
Some butter Is now being sent abrond by
private firms, but 1t IL alleged to be of infer
ior grades. Unsatisfactory storage in cross
ing the ocean and cnrclessness In leaving the
shipments on uncovered docks NJ Southamp-
ton before being loaded into freight cars,
thus making the butter soft. have further
deteriorated its value In the English market.
The butter sent this week comes from the
Iowa agricultural colleges and creamery at
Windsor, Vermont. Subsequent shipments
which will be made during the summer
Mt intervals, will be OF butter from other Sec
tions.
To build up high standard only the best
grades will be shipped and the butter will be
sold at prevailing market prices. The pre-
sent shipment goes among the shipped stores
of the steamer 81. Paul and will be kept at n
low temperature. The cargo Is made up OF
different sized packages to determine which
Is most satisfactory. A department agent
will meet the boat at Southampton and take
proper care Of the product and attend to its
sale The appointment of butter agents by
ampton to take care OF these interests is
