AP.lnter fr.nn Russia.

CoHsrANTNoPLE, May 1S.-There was a sudden and unexpected change in the political situation shortly be- fore noon today. Russia quietly showed her hand, thereby forcing Germany and Turkey out of the game, to all intents and purposes. Last night and early this morning, Turkey, supported by Germany, was practically defying Russia, France, Austria, Great Britain and Italy, in sisting upon the annexation of Thessaly, in addition tU the huge war indemnity, and, seemingly, was determined to march on Athens. The ministers received official ad- vices from Sofia today announcing that orders have been issued for a partial mobilization of the Bull garian army, possibly at the instiga- ton of Russia. There was hurried consultation, and the ministers of the war party was for further de hance, but in the end the pacific counsels seemed to have prevailed, for at l1:35 a. ID. orders were tele- graphed to Edhem Pasha to cease hostilities. Peace negotiations will now be undertaken in real earnest, and the Greeks will most likely be spared further humiliation.

Psuses Threatening.

A story is atloat to the effect that tho killing of white men by Ahvote was prearranged by the tribe. The Flutes certainly kuew the morning of the outbreak that something was going to happen, as each one who had been working around the can yon did not show up aud the others had taken to the hits. It is said that the Indians want to drive the white men out of Fl Dorado canyon and to do it without drawing gov ernment troops into that country, it is agreed that one Indian wifi go out and kill all the whites he can. If he makes his escape, he will be heap big Indian. If the whites go on the war path, the tribe will go out and kill the Indian. This will satisfy the whites. 4 few we'll ar ranged forSges will soon frighten the whites so badly that they will pack up, bag and baggage, and leave the country. It is now as- serted that Steve, one of the Flutes who killed Ahvoie, has been selected to locate a thunder of whites and kill them of. He can get six or seven, and the whites will only get only ore Indian in return. In case case another Indian goes out, there is sure to be band Of Southern Flutes tr mmed up for a trip to the happy hunting grounds. No ''heap bad Indian" will avail them. The whites want peace, even if 1t has to be gained by exterminating every red skin in the country.-MohaTe Miner.

 The Prescott Elks again demon strated last evening in their enter tainment that they understand to the fullest degree the art of social entertainment.

As a sort of a prelude to the ball a literary and musical programme of q very Interesting nature was Ten- deFed, the programme of which has been previously published in these columns. The only deviation from this programme was in the address of welcome. Owing to the absence of Hon. J. C. HerndoR, this address wss delivered be A. s. Mills, busi- ness manager of the Phenix Ga zette, who is a member of the order. While brief, the address was very appropriate to the entertainment.

X raised plat form was erected on the stage, which was occupied by Dr. c. T. Abbott, chairman Of the entertain ment exercises. The chairman oc- cupied chair made of Elk's antlers mot of those taken from members of the order but from the original native elk. A stand on which rested a Bible, sufmounted with elk's antiers, the stand being draped with an American flag occupied the front part of this platform. Elk and deer heads decorated with flags were also placed on the walls around the haii. Across the front of the stage wer the big letters in gold, "B. F. O. E.,p while above the door ln the rear of the hall in letters of gold also, was tie inscription: Prescott Lodge No. 330."
 At the conclusion of the literary and musical programme dancing as inaugurated, aud kept up until 3:30 o'clock this morning. the music beiug furnished by the Whipple or chestra.
 Light refreshments, consisting of sweet cakes and lemonade and mild punch, were served during the evening.
