Terms Are Preposterous.

London, May 16.-The preposterous
terms proposed by the porte must be
regarded as the natural and usual
method of Oriental bargaining They
would not be serious did they not force
continuance of the fighting. With the
failure of the Greek dash in Epirus
there is no chance to make further
stand unless at Thermo pylae. which
by virtue of its natural conditions is
an immensely strong position. from
which the Turks would have the great
est difficulty in dislodging them from
the rocks
AT Domokos the Greek troops must
be suffering severely from the heavy
rains. as they have no tents. The cap
ture or evacuation of the town is only
a question of a few days.
The Turks have been seen at the
passes east and west of Domokos and
General Smolensk has warned the
crown prince to expect an attack.
The weakness of the Greek position
is in the great extent of the line. The
news from Epirus serves to still further
demoralize the troops in Thessaly.
AS to the terms on which peace will
finally be declared. the general belief
in official circles is that they Will be
settled by European conference.

The Porte's Demands.

Constantino3le. May 16.-The porte
has replied officially to the note of the
powers. and declines to agree to an
ar:nistice until the following conditions
are accepted:
The annexation of Thessaly. an in
Gemnity of e10.O00000 Turkish, and the
abolition of the capitulations. Tie
porte proposes that Observation-Disclosures
of the bowers shall meet at pharsalos
10 discuss the terms of peace and de-
elares-that-if these conditions aSe-~de-
clined. the Turkish army will continue
to advance.
The demand of the annexatiol CT
Thessal-r is based on the fact that the
province was originally ceded to
Greece on the advice of tlle powers with
the object of ending brioandaEe. and
Greek ircIrsions into Ottoman terri
tory. the porte believing at this time
that the cessicn would attain these Oh
jects, but the recent rlcursiOns &C
Crek bands and the events immedi-
ately preceding the war nave proved 10
the contrary. This is the substance Of
tire reply:
The ambassadors met today to con-
slider the porte's answer. which is re-
garded as raising an extremely grave
issue. 1t is believed that representa-
tons Will be made to the sultan per-
sonally to induce a modification of
these terms, but 1T is foreseen that this
will be very difficult, ewing to the atti-
tude of the powerful old Turk war
party.
If the porte should prove obdurate
European conference is not improbable
although at present Russia is opposed
to this. 1t is regarded as quite certain
the powers will not consent to recess
CT Of E'N0y1 (rnrT06nV iS
believed to be resolute on this point.
because it would involve a violation CT
the Berlin treaty and imperil the peace
of the Balkans.
Altogether the reply of the porte has
caused he greatest sur- rise. 1t ap
pears that during the discussion of the
note from the powers by the council
of the sultan's minister news has
reached the council that the Greeks
have landed at Palamo and were
marching to Janina with the intention
of cooperating with other forces with
Arta. This created bad impression
among the ministers.

London, May 16.-The correspondent
of the Daily Chronicle at Arta tele-
graphs Saturday at noon. saying:
We retired from our position at dawn
in good order. but with heavy loss. Re
enforcement was impossible. We are
now established about a mile south of
Imaret.
The Turks began creeping down at S
o'clock can see groups of them
searching the rocks along our yester-
days lines, but l think we brought all
our killed and wounded with us. A big
gun from the Arta barracks is now
driving them back, but they are gath
ering in large numbers in the woods
behind Gretznitza and we expect them
to attack us on the right. Yesterday
the mayor drove out everybody able
to bear arms to the scene of action.
while the women and children stood on
the surrounding heights and the walls
of Arta TO watch the battle all day long
through the drenching rain. Tonight
the men slept in their positions, soaked
through.

Butte Mont. May 16.-The Utah lilac
car. party is now being royalty enter
tanned at Butte. where the car arrived
at 4:30 this afternoon.
Its first big distribution was made at
Anaconda. at 80, where the populace
of the town turned out en- masse to
greet the floral embassy from Utah,
the Queen of the West.
The struggle for flowers was a most
exciting and extraordinary scene.
At times it was most thrilling and
not infrequently it was with the ut
most difficulty that the car was not
overrun and the people trampled upon.

of his glowing and enthusiastic
speeches. which was received with loud
acclaim by the welcoming multitude.

force of the car was entirely inadquate
to the suDerhuman task imposed upon

in their efforts to satisfy the vast
crowds. until Judge ColbOrn gave up in
sheer despair and announced that the

Pending arrangements for the final
distribution, Judge ColbOrn delivered

New York. May ia dispatch to
the Press from Domokos says: Crown
Prince Constantine said today:
Il wish to deny emphaticaliy the SEN

army is starving and in want for lack
of rations.
I'VE have plenty of good. substantial
food, and the soldiers are all imbued
with the best of spirits and excellent
health Notwithstanding untrustworthy
reports 10 the contrary.
There has been no pitched battle
between the opposing armies up to the
present time and many of the younger
officers and majority of the troops
demand a final battle before peace
negotiations are ended.
Considering that our government
does not permit us TO execute deserters,
the actual number that has deserted is
extremely small.
II wish to deny positively that l have
lost a single gun during the operations
against the Turks.

SUGAR BEET SEED.
Ten Thousand Pounds Sent Out For
Experimental Purposes.

Washington. May 1.-THE beet sugar
seed which the agricultural department.
has been distributing is practically ex-
hausted. about 10000 pounds having
been sent out TO farmers in about four
fifths OF the states. The seed has been
distributed in packages of from an
ounce to half a pound. purely for eX-
detrimental purposes. The beets grown
from the seed Will he analyzed and the
sacch iriae matter determined TO ascer-
certain where beets can be profitably
grown for the production of sugar.
These experiments. it is believed, will
be of immense value as the beat I'M
doubtedly can be produced With profit
in many of the states. Wherever il
can be so produced. it will give the
farmer a new crop. All the surplus
vegetable seed in the possession of the

REVENUE CUTTERS OUT.
They Are Searching For the Derelict
Schooner Siglin.

Seattle, Wash. May 16.-Without I'M
necessary delay the revenue cutters or
dered north To search for the derelict
schooner General Siglin have got under
way and Will soon be cruising over the
spot where the vessel was last seen.
The Perry left before daylight yes
terday and the Corwin left last night.
The latter vessel will go first to Sitka,
and will then spend a couple of weeks
in a careful search for the Sglin. If
the wrecked schooner is still aioat, she
will undoubtedly be found within a
short time. 1t is thought that the
strong northeast winds that have been
blowing have driven the Siglin to the
southwest of where she was last seen.

beats lighter today; many man and

but DIeasing-one which, we hope. the
good people of Salt Lake will bring
again next year.

LONG OVERDUE.
American Ship Dirigo is Probably
Lost

San Francisco, May 16.-The Ameri-
can ship Dirigo. owned by Arthur
Sewal of Maine, and commanded by
Captain Goodwin. is So days overdue
on her voyage around the horn She
sailed from New York 40 days ago,
carrying a crew of 10 men. On Jan %
the Dirgo was spoken off Cape Horn
by the British shin Howth. Signals
we're exchanged. and the captain of
the Howth determined To beat the
American snip into San Francisco if
possible. TWO days later heavy gales
sprang up. lasting three days.
The Howth arrived in port on April
10. but nothing has been heard of the
Dirigo. The DiIigo is the first four
masted steel ship built in the United
States. she is of 2,S56 tons and was
launched in 1891. There is some
anxiety about the vessel and in Liver
pool yesterday reinsurance at 20 per
cent was quoted. 1t is probable that
the ship changed her course or that
she put into port Stanley for repairs.
