Conway, Faulkner county, Arkansas.
We arrived al 6 p. M, went over to the
Wit hote, and lodged Tor the night.
Next morning, we took no breakfast, as
we wished to iasI and pray; for we werc
strangers in strange land. We had
not friend to go 10, and we were
representatives OF an unpopular religion.
Before leaving our room, we knelt in a
solemn prayer to implore our Fathers

According to Assistant Secretary
vanderlip the probable requirements
of the Postofice Department for

ing June 3Oth, 1898, will be as fol-
lows: Ordinary stamps, 3,4A, 1877
900; newspaperand periodical stamps,

10000. OF the ordinary stamps
two and half billions are of the 2
cent denomlna alton, and five millions
are of the 10 cent special delivery
series. As compared with the re-
quirements of the present year,
these estimates are an increase Of
about 295, 200, 900 in the number of
ordinary stamps; an incre ase of no.
600 in special delivery; and 962 900
in the newspaper and periodicals,
and q decrease of 832 900 in the

co Turkish Affairs appear to be re-

day the Porte dispatched q circular
to its Representatives abroad con-
tanning . skillful defense of the
Turkish case and declining to consid-
or any frontier line in Thessaly north
OF the River Penelos. which it re-
CARDS as tie natural boundary.
1t appears that the Sultan has
convinced himself that the powers
will not resort to coercion and has
decided to test the alleged concert
OF Europe to the utmost.
According to . circumstantial re-
port of conversation between the
sultan and an officer of his house
hold, Abdul Hamid complained that
the war had been forced upon him,
and that, when he was victorious,
Europe refused him either territory
or indemnity. Therefore, he intend
ed to resist to the utmost.

said. "The six powers failed to CO.
cree Vassos and his two thousand
adventures. What can they do
against 300, 900 victorious troops in

"Supposing they wished to coerce
me, who would undertake the task I

will be treated.
