ed under Turkish rule. The premier
further asserted that her maiesty's
ministers believed those questions had
been settled, and that Turkey had ac-
cepted the frontier line traced by the
military attaches of the embassies of
the powers, though the premier shared
Lord Kimberley's doubts.
Speaking of the indnemnity to be
paid to Turkey by Greece, the premier
said: ''There comes in the mysterious
and difficult question of the German
bondholders. We do not think that any
international duty lies on Europe to
provide for their payment, though I
admit they have been long unpaid"
Lord Salisbury further said: "rhe
credit Of Greece in the European mar
ket will for a long time be exceedingly
small, and some form Of control Of
Greek sources of revenue is inevitable
l cannot say that negotiations in that
direction have advanced very far. an3

With reference to Crete, Lord Sal
isbury said there was no use for the
powers to attempt to arrange a form
of government until the more impor-
tant controversy had been adjusted.
The present attitude of Crete seemed
to be favorable to an agreement. so

'The only solution he said, Seems
to be to dig ditch across the island

the Moslems on the other. Our earnest
object is to arrange what has been
promised, taking care to be just TO
both sections. We are not inclined
to admit merely because the Mussul-
mans are in the minority that their
interests are to be neglected.

kew outlined the status of the Con-

der that the patience of many people
was sorely tried by the delay. The
complexity and multiplicity of the ne
gotiations, he added, might, however,
account for their length.
Continuing, Lord Salisbury explained
that the peace the powers were trying
to arrange was no ordinary agreement
between a conqueror and a conquered
country. The territory conquered by
the Turkish army was one assigned to
Greece by international agreement, and
therefore the powers voice in regard
to it's disposal was recognized by the

manding security against incursions
such as those which brought about the
present war, and for that purpose a
rectification of the frontier on strate-
gic basis was a reasonable demand. II

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2-The navy
report from Admiral Beardslee, COM
manding the Pacific station, dated
Honolulu, July II. 1t Will be noted
that the admiral makes a point of the
fact that the Japanese war vessel in
the harbor scrupulously observed, nor
only the Fourth of July, but the Ha-
Waiian independence day as we'll:
Since the date of my last report, June Is,
there has been a series of celebrations ac-
companied by entertainments and Official
recognitions, beginning with the celebration
of the queens jubilee, on the 23d of June,
on which occasion the ships under my COM
mand at this port, also the Naniwai, full
dressed ship, at sunrise, with the British
flag at the main, and remained so dressed
till sunset, and at noon each vessel fired
national salute of q guns. On the even
ing of June 20, the British commissioner gave
a reception which was very largely attended,
myself, the commanding and other officers of
the ships under my command attending in
uniform. The Fourth Of July, being not only
the anniversary of our own independence, but
also the third anniversary of the establish
ment of the republic of Hawaii, mutual noti-
ficatioEs to that effect and invitations to par
ticipate in the observance of the day were
exchanged between the Hawaiian government
and myself. The same courtesy was extend
ed by both parties to the Japanese ship
Naniwai. compromise became necessary
and the matter was thus arranged. We all
participated in the games, races and illumi-
mated boat professions which were in order
on the Sd. and on the 5th the ships were
full dressed at sunrise with the United States
and Hawaiian ensgns side by side ct the
main, the former to starboard except on the
Naniwai, where the Hawaiian was to star
board, and at noon two salutes OF q guns
were fired by each ship and the shore bat

parade of Hawaiian and United States troops,

PITTSBURG, Pa, Aug. 2.-What-
ever the immediate elimination of the
strike situation may be in this district,
it is evident Sheriff Lowrie considers
the time a critical one Tonight he
telegraphed Gov. Hastings, fully con-
cerning the conditions existing here
with the evident purpose of having the
governor prepared for any emergency
that may arise in the near future. 1t
is learned the governor has been so
impressed with the gravity Of the case
that he has instructed the adjutant
general to remain in his office all
night awaiting any requisition that
may be made on him for troops. The
only surface occasion for this precau-
ton is the fact that tonight an i'm
mense procession Of miners and citi-
zens headed by Burgess Teats, of Tur-
tie Greek, marched through the streets
of the borough and back again to
Camp Determination, where a meeting
was held and Burgess assured the
men they had his sympathy as we'll
as that of all the citizens thereabouts.
Beyond the meeting and marching
tonight all is quiet in the neighborhood
of the camp.
PITTSBURG, Pa, Aug. 2.-The strik-
ing miners have broken all records
both as to numbers attending their
mass meetings and the excellent order
and law abiding behavior they have
exhibited. 1t is conceded by all that
in former times under similar circum-
stances riot and bloodshed would have
resulted long ago from the conditions
under which the miners have been
placed during this strike The mass
meeting of miners at the McCrea school
house today was the greatest during
the strike and probably the largest
gathering Of the kind ever seen in AL
legheny county. More than 5000 strik-
ing miners were gathered for an all
| day session, and labor leaders har-
angued them in various tones, while
bands of music served to stir up the
enthusiasm to the highest pitch. From
early morning miners of every nation
ality were gathered at the schoo
house. They came in big bands anG
small ones, but the one that set the
camp wild with enthusiasm arrived a
