hope for the early evacuation of Thessaly.
The harvest therefore, will be reckoned a
part of the indemnity; Greece will be called
upon to pay one and one-half million
pounds and ThesSaly will be evacuated
after the harvest. The Turkish govern
ment is draining the Aslauc provinces OF
Balkans and has ordered an additional one
hundred and fifty thousand Mauser rifles.
Another story is that Emperor William is
urging Bulgaria to demand an autonomous
regime for Macedonia. in which Thessaly
should be included The Turkish govern
ment has issued a circular TO the powers,
with a view to obtain their support in the
peace negotiations, but thus far, Russia
alone has replied, expressing the opinion
that the questions of the indemnity and the
captulation appear less difficult to settle
than the delirntation of Thessaly. This
reply is regarded in Turkish circles as JUS
tifying the hope that Russia will support
the retrocession of Thessaly, but this opin-
ion is not shared by the members of the
foreign corps in this city.

to the correspondent of the Soleil, refuses
to cOncede these points. He adds, and so
Germany will have to yield.

WASHINGTON, June ia petition has
been submitted to Speaker Reed by forty
Democrats of the House for a hearing of
the bankruptcy bill. They pledge themselves
to vote for any measure which will give
equal rights to debtors and creditors. The
speaker is opposed to the Nelson bill as it
came over from the Senate, holding that it
is distinctly a debtors bill and imposes in
justice on creditors. Democrats and not
a few Republicans nurse the hope that the
speaker will either appoint a judiciary COM
mittee to frame bankruptcy bill or that

WASHINGTON, June 11.-For the first
time in many years the secretary of the
navy has interposed his veto on the appli-
cation of junior officer to leave the naval
service. In the present case three of the
cadets at napolis-George Weber. of Ar
kansas; H. L. Collins, of Pennsylvania, and
P. L. Pratt of Illinois--sought to resign.
They had completed four years service at
the academy, the last year being devoted
to the engineering branch, and desired to
leave to engage in private business. Sec
rotary Long. however. found that the en-
engineer corps was sadly in need of officers
owing to the rapid depletion of
the ranks of the older engin-
GERS in late years and he decided that
as these young men had been educated at
the expense of the government, they should
render service in return. The cadets on
admission to the academy are required to
pledge themselves to serve the government
not less than eight years, so these young
men now will be obliged to take the usual
two years cruise, which rounds out the An
napolis course. at the end of which time
they will receive their commissions as as
sistant engineers in the navy, and be regu-
larly assigned to duty.
