Animosfties Buried.

It is matter for pleasant thought that as the years have rolled by this an- nual tribute has become more celebra- tion of peaee than of war, more guar antee for the future than record of the past. The exultation over victory has given place to exultation over increasing good feeling and a restored harmony in all sections. The gray sleeps beside the blue in many cemetery, but both will have their tribute of flowers from loving hands, typical of mutual regret and ad- miration for mutual courage. ge.-Chicago Tribune

HEllENES IMPATIENT,
The Greek Soldiers In TTesSaly Eager
 For the Fray.

The Greek Soldiers In Fkessaly Eager
 For the Fray.
 Larissa, Thessaly, April 1.-The cele- bration of the anniversary of Greek independence evoked wild demonstra- tions from the troops here. The Greek army will not listen to any suggestion of retreating. The excitement all along the frontier has been intense, and 1t has been impossible to foreten from hour to hour whether the troops would not take the reins in their own hands and attack the Turkish positions. A mob surrounded the palace of Prince Constantin here last evening and clamored vigorously for war, and the guard had to be increased to con- trol the crowds
 So intense has been the feeling that a council of officers with the prince was held last night, at which the off, cial leaders of the army insisted upon an immediate declaration of war. They argued that such a course was the only salvation of the throne and dynasty Of King George. This decision of the of- ficers was sent by the prince to Athens.
 The first serious demonstration was at the close of the services held yester- day celebrating the national birthday. uC as NiOWuSd, dAu hhc Soi- emnity was broken suddenly by tre- mendous and continued cries of 'Hur- rah for war!' in which the best known military men and civilians joined unan- imously. The prince showed his disap- proval plainly and quickly, and as the cheering did not cease he abruptly left the church without taking any further notice of 1t.
 The effect of this incident was to an- ger the people and troops, and the dem onstration at the princes palace last night followed the spreading of the story.
 The army, while under a great strain of excitement, has behaved with re- markable calmness so far as its actual conduct towards the Turks has been concerned. The orders to prevent any wanton provocation of the Turkish out posts were stringent, and not gula has been fired in the camps.
 It seems safe to say that either war with Turkey or a local uprising on the Macedonian frontier is certain.

King eeorpe,. Relatives Faithful.

Copenhagen, April 5.-The consulta- tions between the members of the Dan ish royal family have resulted In a res- olution to uphold the present dynasty In Greece. The dowager czarina will remain here until the end of the month. A special cipher telegraphic service has been established between Copenhagen and St. Petersburg, and it is believed that the dowager czarina has succeed ed in inducing the czar to support King George as far as is consonant with the interests of Russia.

Adjourned Village Meeting.

The adjourned annual village meet
ing came to order at Z 80 Tuesday
evening. The reports of the Treasur-
er and Auditors were submitted and
accepted. A tax of 80 cents was
voted and the Collector was instruct
ed to take such steps as may be
necessary to collect the delinquent
taxes. The article in the warning
relative to excluding the Chas. NOyes
farm from the village limits was
passed over. The Trustees were au-
thorized to procure twelve fire ex-
tinguishers, if in their judgment
deemed best.
From the Treasurer's report we
learn that the total receipts for the
fiscal year ending May %, 1891
were $1S,376 81 and the expendi-
lures SIS, 35, leaving a balance
of $252.S6. There are uncolected
taxes and other resources amounting
to $444 Al, and outstanding orders
amounting to about $141S.9 "a. 1t
will be borne in mind of course that
SIS, 900 of this money is represented
by the bonds sold. The income from
the plant shows that it is now-and
it probably will continue to be more
so-more than self-sustaining. The
affairs of the village are in very good
condition.

CAPT BARKER PLEAS


The Daily Colonist, of July 4th., con-
tanned the following which will be very
pleasant reading for the many friends of
Gen. Roberts:
1.-The officers and crew of the u. S S.
Oregon evidently appreciate the atten-
ton that they received in Victoria, for
Captain Barker, in a letter received
day or two ago, said that they had en-
joyed their stay so well that they would
be glad to come again. Captin Barker
too was so delighted with the kindness
Of General Roberts, United States con-
sui. that he sent the following dispatch
to the Navy Department, Washington:
Il wish particularly to call the atten-
ton Of the department to the courtesy
and kind attention of the United States
consul, General Roberts. He did every
thing in his power to make our stay a
pleasant one and l was pleased to be
associated with him as q representative
Of the United States."

vice, says:
lit is not yet known, even approx

whose duties he has discharged with I'M

bans and credit TO the country whose

DISPATCH TO STATE DEPART
MENT.
The following dispatch sent Icy Gen.
Roberts to the State Department eN-
plains itself:
Hon. William II. Day, Assistant Secreta-
ny of State, Washington d. c.;
Sir: Believing that it will be a matter
of interest to our government, l desire
to call your attention to the visit Of
the U. s. S. Oregon" to this port upon
the occasion of the celebration of the
sixtieth anniversary of Her Majesty :
Accession to the crown of Breat Britain.
The magniicence of this ship impressed
the people here to a degree that was
truly surprising, and many opinions are
changed as to our Importance as "A
growing naval power. The visit was
especially gratifying to me.
Captain A. 5. Barker and the officers
were handsomely entertained by the citi-
cents of Victoria, and the good feelings
engendered are a cause for special COM
ment.
He is most excellent gentleman and
a credit to our country; and his visit will
be long and pleasantly remembered.
| also desire to speak of the visit of
the U. S. S. Alert" Captain f. Hanford
commanding, just few days prior to
the celebration while en- route to Alaska.
This visit of Captain Hanford was also
greatly appreciated by the people here,
who extended to him every courtesy.
He is most pleasant gentleman, and
greatly enjoyed his society and COM
pany.
AS matter of justice to these officers
of the Navy, besides the interest that our
government would naturally feel con-
corning their visit, it occurred to me that
it would be proper to send YOU this brief
dispatch.
| am, Sir very respectfully,
Your obedient servant,

NATURAL ODDITIES.

Three places, at least, are known
where green snow is found. One Of
these places is near Mount Hecla, Ice
land; another fourteen miles east on
the mouth of the Obi; and the third
near Quito, South America.
1t is claimed that the tree from the
bark of which quinine is obtained fur
nishes no quinine except in malarial re.
giont. II the tree is planted in a ma
larial district it will produce quinine;
if it Is planted in q non-malarial dis
trict it Will not produce quinine. 1t is,
therefore, inferred that quinine is
nalarill poison drawn from the soil
and stored ZIP in the bark of this tree.
The most remarkable gold beetles in
the world are found in Central Amer
ica. The head and wing cases are bril-
iantly polished with q luster of gold
itself. To sight and touch they have
all the seeming of metal. Oddly enough,
another species from the same. region
has the appearance of being wrought
in solid silver, freshly FURNISHED. These
gold and silver beetles have O market
value. They are worth from $25 to $50
each.
The corpse plant is the name of q
remarkable carnivourous specimen that
grows in the colony of Natal. It's prin-
cipal feature is a bell-shaped throat.
opening into q hollow stem. 1t is al
most black and covered with thick,
glutinous secretion, while it's odor is
very offensive. This attracts carbon
feeding birds to it, and once they alight
on it they are lost. Their claws be-
come entangled in the secretion, the
bell-shaped mouth folds up, and they
are literally swallowed.
