The Greek War Ended.


With the signing of the armstice at
bomokos. ia ThessaIy, and at Arta, in
EpiruS, Icy the Turkish and Greek com
manaers ia the field. the war comes TO an
end Greece will be called upon to pay
an indemnity of S25. 5.00O. 900 and submit
10 a rectimcation of her frontier, the de-
tails of which win be left 10 the powers
IL will be observed that the expression
1.-THE powers" does not today mean what II
did five or six weeks ago The powers
now concerned in the settlement of the
Grace Turkish embodiment are confined
e. the two youthful despots." Nicholas
and W,ihelIn, and all other princes, poteE-
tates and powers are a. mere onlooktrS.
Whether .'rectification'' Of the frontier
will Involve the loss to Greece Of all THIS
saly is uncertain, but highly probahle.
Any other solution wollu seem To threaten
a general Moslem uprising and revolt
against the Sultan. and Russia is more con-
cerned just now in having things quiet
within TIE Turkish empire than iu consil-
eriug the disaster and humiliation to the
Greeks that tie demands of Abdul HanHd
will cause them If allowed
In addition to this view Of the matter,
there can bc no Doubt that 10th Russia and
Germany are bent upon shaping the settle
ment IN "a way which will illustrate tothe
world their defiance of and contempt FOR
Great Britain. Altogether, it is sad end
iBg for poor Greece.

This breakfast table fact would indicate
that wives and husbands need to keep
particularly tight rein over the temper
legged domestic peacefulness OF the French
population may be due TO the fact that
they do not assemble for an S-o'cloak

significant element in the history Of
divorces, ana sit up late at night to get
the breakfast, if necessary, in order that
it may be perfectly cooked and served
One husband is on record as having
thrown a scuttle of coal at bis wife. he
was a torny-handed son of toll, and how he
happened to have anything TO do with Il
coal scuttle is a mystery, for as a usual
thing the wife and daughter OF the horny
banded son of toll consider taking care of
the fires part of their days work At any
rate, the wife walked over her ooal-paved
kitchen floor straightinto the divorce court.
She probably was afraid that the next
thing he might have in hand to throw
would be a hodful of bricks or a hot stove.
1t is notonly husbands who throw things,
however Sometimes tits the wives. They
don't always succeed i'll hitting the mark,
but one man who lodged Kettles of hot
water and lighted lamps fired at him by
the hand of his wife, until he got tired of
it, is of the opinion that that does not
matter He stood this thing until she threw
the lamp and the hot water at one time ana
caused an awful explosion. Then he got

MARKET AWARDS WITHHELD.
The Commissioners Want an Inter-
probation Of the Act of Congress.

The Commissioners yesterday requested
Auditor Payne, of the supreL Lle court of the
District, to withhold ali awards made by
holders and dealers of the old Northern Lib
critics Market, which was demolished in
September, 1S72.
Upon closer scrutiny of the items of
awards il was found that Auditor Payne
had included damages for good will de
stroyed, and upon the suggestion of Audi
tor Petty the cases were held up until the
attorney for the District and his assistant
may interpret the intention of the act of
Congress providing for the settlement of
these market-hOuse claims.
tits held by the auditor that Congress did
not intend to permit parties to recover
damages for other than actual material
losses. and that such an item as good
will'' was not To be included. In view Of
this contention the Commissioners decided
TO withhold the drawbacks awarded until
an opinion has been officially received from
the attorney for the District.

choicest pcrfoi mances, she having built
up the weaknesses of the latter portions
by diligence in the development of her
emotional and tragic possibilities The

COLONEL JOHN HAY.
His Appointment as ambassador to
England Meets With Favor.

LONDON, Feb. 22.-The afternoon
newspapers comment favorably upon
the anncunce cement made by the Ameri-
can correspondent of the London
Times that Colonel john Hay has
been selected by President elect Nc
Kinley to be the successor of Mr.. Bay
ard as Em.bassador of the United
States.
The "Pan Mall Gazette" says: The
selec tjon is in every way admirable.
Great Britain has Always been fortu-
nate in the American ElmbassadOr, and
in Mr. Bayards successor she is par
ticularly so.
The st. James Gazette remarks:
The United States has again chosen the
best stamp of man THAT can be found to
represent them here. That is a cumpli-
ment to the United States. A good
feature of Colonel Hay is THAT he has
had considerable diplomatic experience.
Perhaps this will tend to reduce the
risk of such surprises aus have occurred
in the past few years.
The Globe" expresses the opinion
that Colonel Hay will not be capable
of the mistakes which American Minis
ters have sOnnetnmes made, simply
from lack of experience" and adds;
1T is not in any sense a machine poh-
tics selection and may be regarded as
proof that Mr.. Mckinley appreciates
the Importance of the post for which
Colonel Hay .nal5 been designated"
