Meeting of the Parliamentary Committe,
Held In London.

London, MAY 14.-There was meet
ing here today of the bimetallic par.
liamentary committee of the house OF
commons Apart from the members OF
parliament there were several promi-
nent bimetalist and well-known labor
leaders present. Sir William Henry
Couldsworth, who was the delegate OF
Great Britain to the monetary confer
ence at Brussels in 1892, presided. He
referred in his address upon opening
the meeting to the growth of bimetal-
ism in England othur countries, and
pointed to the fact that the special
commissioners of the United States
were now ON their way to France tc
confer with the bmetalists of that
country. The chairman also expressed
his opinion in strong terms that the
prospects of an early international
agreement was never more hopeful.
The committee decided to closely
watch the international negotiations

TURKEY is CRAFTY.
EVADES COMPLIANCE WITH RE-
QUESTS OF THE POWERS.
The Porte Delays Answer to the Powers
Request for acknowledgements
Cessation of Thessaly and
Heavy Indemnity.

Constantinople, May 1.-THE porte
has replied officially to the note of the
powers and declines to agree TO an
armistice until the following condi-
tions are accepted:
The annexation of Thessaly, an in
demnity of a1O, 200, 900 Turkish and the
abolition of the capitulations. The
porte proposes that plenipotentiaries of
the powers shall meet at Pharsala to
discuss the terms of peace, and declare
that il these conditions are declined
the Turkish army will continue to ad-
vance.
The demand for the annexation of
Thessaly is based on the fact that the
province was originally ceded to Greece
on the advice of the powers with the
object of ending brigandage and Greek
incursions into Ottoman territory, the
porte believing at that time that the
cession would attain these objects, but
the recent incursions of Greek bands
and the events Immediately preceding
the war have proved to the contrary.
This is the substance of the 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-
tions will be made to the sultan per.
sonally to induce a modification OF
these terms, but il is foreseen that this
will be very difficult, owing to the at
titude of the powerful Old Turk wal
party.
If the porte should prove obdurate &
European conference is not improba
BILE, although at present Russia is op
posed to this. 1t is regarded as quite
certain the powers will not consent t.
a recession of Thessaly. Even Ger
many is believed to be resolute on thi.
point, because it would involve a VIC
lation of the Berlin treaty and imperi
the peace.

Many of the Babcock bottles. ther-

chased from the dairy supply houses
are improperly graduated. The follow
ing method for testing such bottles Is
simple. rapid and accurate enough lot

to the zero mark of the scale with
water, removing any drops that may
adhere to the neck with strip OF plot-
ting or filter paper. Then add two

erly graduated the water added Will I'LL

water comes two-tenths of per cent
or more above or below the ten per cent
mark the bottle should be destroyed.
In making this test always read from
the lowest point of the curve formed
by the surface of the water on q level
with the eye. Pipettes for the above
purpose can be ordered by residents Of
Pennsylvania through the experiment
station at a cost of 35 cents each in ad-
vance. Common dairy thermometers
are liable to be several degrees In error
and should always be compared with q
standard instrument before using, Cor

Resulted In q Panic.

Havana, May 17.-The decision of
the government against the exchang-
ing of the bank bills for silver coin has
caused panic. Prices of bread, milk
and other necessaries of life have
doubled within the past few days. The
working classes, as well as all govern
ment employees, both civil and military,
openly express their dissatisfaction
with the action of the government in
paying them in scrip which is 90 per
cent below par. IL is believed that the
government will no longer accept pa
per money in payment of taxes. In
that event further depreciation of
the paper money may be expected.

A little cnfelessness in a dangerous
thing. l have found this out to my
cost. There Is no reason why per-
son should permit their fowls to get
sick with the roup except by down
right care lessness; at least this Is my
view of It. A short time ago, about
three weeks, one OF the panes OF glass
in the poultry house was broken. l

indicated that when the wind was in

the aperature onto the hens asleep on

| to day. None of my fowls had ever
/ had coup and so | had little fear of it.
/ A few days ago | was surprised, In
going into the pen in the morning, to
find that one of my hens had her head
sweled up and the water running
from her eyes. ] promptly sequestered
her. The next morning another waa
found in the same shape. | put hei
also In quarantine. Then | fixed the
window. If the fowls die 1t will be the
direct result of negligence on my part
! This leads me to remark that most ot
our poultry troubles are caused by wan
OF proper care Of the fowls or their
| surroundings. This word of caution
may do some reader of the Farmers
Review good, hence give 1t. AS to the
/ fowls, | tried a remedy that | have

a little hard on the fowls. | made a
solution of alum and mixed with II
about one-third its quantity of vine

with this, being careful that 1t got
into their nostrils. l call it hard on
the fowls, for any one knows, or should
know, that alum water in the eyes is
of the birds are swelled shut 1t may
not be so very painful. A
last reports one of the bird
had her eyes open and the swell

only 90.O00.000 pounds of butter. which
was less than seven pounds per capita
OF the entire population. this is only
enough to give each person a fair al

Washington, May l6.-Senator Mills
has received letter from Minister
Terrell, who says that all the talk of
the Turks expelling Missionary Knapp
from Turkey is untrue. Mr.. Terrell
says Knapp was frightened into leav-
ing his post at Bitlis, near the Russian
border. He was told that the Turks
could not protect him against the
Kurds. Armenian Christians accused
him of exciting revolution. The porte
wanted him to remain in Turkey, but
at different post. When Knapp left
Bitlis, Secretary olney demanded that
he should be escorted back, but it was
not done because the missionary lead
ers at Constantinople feared he would
be killed if sent back. and he remained
in Constantinople until September last
when he left that place for Germany
Mr.. Terrell says Knapp can return tc
Turkey when he pleases.
