RUSSIA DROPS A HINT.
May Decide to Permit Turkey to Annex
Thessaly.

st. Petersburg. May 14.-The import
ant semi-official announcement mas made
today that in well-informed Russian
quarters evidently the foreign Office
here) the belief prevails that it will be
difficult, if not impossible, to prevent tile
forces Of the Sultan of Turkey from
continuing the occupation of Thessaly
after peace between Turkey and Greece
shall have been concluded. This decla-
ration may possibly be only put forward
as feeler, leading up to a later intima-
ton that Russia may not be opposed to
the permanent annexation OF Thessaly
to the Turkish empire.
Following on the intimation that Rus
STA would not be opposed to the admin
istration of Thessaly by Turkey, it be-
came known semi-otfic this evening
that the diplomats are atty concerned
at the news recently received from Bull
garia. During the past week much agi-
tation against Turkey has been reported
both among the people of Bulgaria and in
the Bulgarian army, and fears are ex-
pressed that the popular feeling thus
aroused may force the hands of the gov
eminent of Bulgaria.

From the Republican, Columbus, Ind
The Huntsville College, situated at
Huntsville, Ind, was founded years ago
in the interest of the United Brethren
Church, when the State was mostly
wilderness, and colleges were scarce. The
college is well known throughout the
country, former students having gone
into all parts Of the world.
A reporter recently called at this IA
nous seat of learning and was shown
into the room of the president, Prof. Al
vim p. Barnaby. When last seen by the
reporter Prof. Barnaby was in delicate
health. To-day he was apparently in the,
best of health. In response to an in
quiry the Professor said:
"Oh, yes, / am much better than

MRS. LOGAN DEFENDS "JACK."
Her Boy was Handsome that the
McCooks Were Envious.

Washington, d. c., May 15.-Mrs
John A. Logan. who was present at the
coronation of the Gar when her son
wore the uniform of a captain, which
Col. John j. McCoOk says he was not
entitled to do, has related the incidents
of the occasion which led up to the rup-
ture between the families.
The first act of Gen. Alexander Med.
McCOok upon reaching st. Petersburg,
she says, was to claim precedence over
all Americans assembled. Minister
Breckenridge, however, resented the snub
and Secretary Olney sustained him.
1T was Col. John ]. McCook who ap-
peared in a uniform TO which he had no
right and not my son." continued Mrs.
Logan. HE was in Russia at the time
with his daughter, and was appointed a
member of his brothers staff. He at

Athens, May 15.-A private dispatch
from Arta just received here says that
+he Turkish garrison at Prevesa, at the
uorthern entrance of the Gulf OF Aria,
which has been besieged by the Greek
land and sea forces almost from the out
break of the war, has sent the Greek
archbishop and five notablities of Prevesa
TO the commander of the besieging Greek
army with a message saying that the

THE BRICEs' SOCIAL vALEDICToRY
Lavish Hospitality of the Former Senator
During the Last Six Years.

Washington. D. c., May 15.-This aft
ernoon Mr.. and Mrs. Brice give an en-
tertainment to their friends in the form
of a garden party which is 20 be their
social valedictory in Washington. For
the last six years, while Mr.. Brice has
been a member Of the Senate, the hospi-
tally offered by his family has surpassed
everything in the previous history of the
capital. He rented the stately old man
sion that was built by Mr.. Corcoran, the
philanthropist, many years ago, and was
occupied at one time by Daniel Webster,
at another by Sir Bulwer Lytton, and
again by Lord Elgin, the British am
bassador. and is possessed of more aSSo-
cations than perhaps any other residence
except the white house. Mr.. Brlce paid
a rental of $4,000 a year, and is said to
have put in $4,000 worth of furnishings
and repairs. He has had large staff Of
servants, including four buffers, during
the winter season and a corresponding
number in other positions, and the social
business of the house has been directed
by Thomas Sanford Beatty, who is paid
a salary of $1,000 a year to act as q gen
eral manager of functions. 1t is impOS-
sible to estimate the amount of money
which the BriceS have spent annually fer
the pleasure of their friends, although the
amount has been favorite topic of spec
ulatiOn among the gOSSipS. 1t is Suffi-
Gent to say that the elegance and costli-
ness of their entertainments have been
beyond anything ever known here, and
equal to any private hospitality else
where in the world. They have given
balls for which the favors alone cost
thousands of dolalrs; they have given
concerts at which the most famous sing
ers in the world have appeared; they
have given dinners at which 200 persons
have been served at one time, and the
novelties they have introduced have been
wonders. Special trains have brought
guests from New York and Philadelphia
to attend their balls, and have taken
them home again at the close Until the
Brices came to Washington ex-Secretary
Whitney and his first wife held the rec
ord for lavish hospitality, but their en-
tertainments were simple and common
place in comparison. The term of Mr.
Brice in the Senate expired on the 18th
of March last. The lease of their house
expires On the 31st of May, and after
the garden party today, which is ex-
pected to be an appropriate finale of
their social career, they return to New
York, where they will spend their win
tiers, and afterward to their cottage at
Newport, where they will spend their
