Germany Comes In.

London May 1S.-The harmony of the
European press on the subject of the con-
ditions of peace is remarkable. The semi
official papers. the Times the. Novoe
Vremya, the Temps, the North German
Gazette and the FremdneblaIt are as one
in the vigorous terms in which they de-
nounce Turkeys pretensions. Now that
the last obstacle 10 a speedy armistice is
removed by Germany. which temporarily
blocked the negotiations. she has in
structed her ambassador at Constantine
pie, Baron Won Sakarma-Galtsch. to join
TIE other ambassadors in pressing upon
the porte the necessity of agreeing upon
an armistice, il can be taken for granted
that with the innumerable forms of coer-
cion ready to the hands of the powers. the
sultan will yield TO the inevitable within
a day or two, especially as the capture
of TIE Greek positions at Dokomos will
go far to satisfy the Turkish war party.
Ar order telegraphed to Edhem Pasha

the Turkish government Is about to yield

Their stated that the porte is now disposed
to enter into negotiations to bring about
permanent peace with Greece upon terms
less onerous than those which have been

are grounds to fear a popular manifesto

To Elude the Powers.

Vienna. May 1S-The semi-official Frem-
denblatt makes a statement today which
is regarded as outlining the views of Aus
tria and Russia. 1t says:
BY selecting PharsaIos as the place to
discuss the peace negotiations, the Turk
ism government appears TO be DESTROYS Of
Guiding the Intervention OF the powers. In
fact, the Turkish government is under a
misrepresentation as to this question. The
integrity OF Turkey, upon which Europe
h:s laid stress, and which Austria and
Russ:a in the plainesl terms have de-
clared to be the basis of their policy, is
far from meaning that Turkey can act in
the Balcan peninsula as she pleases and
without regard for the powers. If Turkey
feels the need of the intervention of the
powers in behalf of her own integrity,
she cannot escape the other kind of in
tervention which aims at preventing her
frcm deriving an eXtrayagant advantage
from her victory The Turkish condi-
tons of peace are UNNECESSARILY exag-
gerated. Europe cannot assent to the re
cession of TheSsaly nor can it be brought
about by q continuance of the war which
the victories of Turkey have rendered
purDoseleSs.
.'The excessive amount of indemnity
cannot but arouse the opposition of the
powers. as it is far beyond the capacity of
Greece to pay
Again, by the abolition of the capitula-
lions a precedent would be created which
the powers could not accept Turkey
her victories in an enlarged capacity of
action, in internal reorganization and in
ending the diSintegrating misgovernment.
I'm short, the Intervention of Europe
in behalf of the integrity of Turkey
means neither the reversal of everything

Turkey.

KENTUCKY'S sOLONS.
Some Profanity, but Very Little Good
Accomplished.

Frankfort, KY. May 1S.IThe silver
Democrats minority. with possession
of the senate, Goebel in the chair and
Bronston on the floor, held the floor
through an eight-hour session today,
and promises to continue until the end
of the present session on Friday. The
gold Democratic Republican majority
of each house is still determined that
the fusion bill shall pass the senate at
least and that it shall go through both
houses this summer. if there is any
way to persuade or to force the COVER
nor to recall the session.
Senator Holloway, a gold Democrat,
tried to strike Senator Bronston, the
silver Democrat who is holding the
floor, and while he was being held
away from him, Bronston said: Damn
YOU and your demands and then,
Turn him loose. l dare you TO lay
your hands on me, you cowardly

Adjournment came at O'Clock. 1t
is now plain that the bill cannot be-
come a law this session: that other
important legislation must so down
with it, and that upon the question of
whether the assembly is reconvened
and the bill then passed depends the
political complexion of this state for
several years to come.

Greeks Are Indignant.

New York, May 1S.-A special to the
Journal from Athens says:
The greatest Indignation and unbelief
are expressed at the reported terms of
peace offered by Turkey-the loss of
Thessaly and a heavy indemnity.
Minister Scouladis said in an inter
view that the terms had not yet been
officially presented by the porte.
He said: Greece would rather see
the Turks in Athens and leave it 10
our people to get out of the interna-
tional difficulty produced thereby than
to accept such terms as reported.
Being asked if the great powers
would occupy Athens if the city were
threatened by The Turks, he replied:

burn Athens than 10 allow Turkish oc-
cupation. We believe our troops will
hold their present position

LUETGERT'S ARREST.

Eighteen Years AGO.

It Recalls a Murder Committed
Eighteen Years Ago
Chicago, May 1S.-The arrest Of
Adolph L. Luetgert. president of the
Leutgert Sausage and Packing COM
pany. for the murder of his wife. has
recalled, and may lead to the investi-
cation Of a murder which took place IS
years ago. At that time Leutgert was a
saloon keeper, and had place of bust
ness at ClaybUrn and Webster avenue.
The victim was Hugh MCGOWAN, whose
only son, James MCGOWAN, now resides
at IS Lewis street. The story as told
by the latter is as follows:
On the night OF Sept. 9, 1879, Hugh
MCGOWAN was missing from his home.
which was then at the corner of 3 and
Dominick streets. He was 81 years Of
age and a millwright. Though some
times given to drinking. it was contrary
to all his habits to stay away from his
family at night. a search was immedi-
ately instituted, but no trace of him
was found until the next day, when he
was found in Leutgert's barn with his
head cut open and an enormous plug
Of tobacco showed down his throat. The
body was prOpped up in q sitting posi-
ton. Every circumstance surrounding
the mans death indicated violence.
Suspicion fell upon Leutgert. A
coroner's jury. made up of the men who
had lived near him for years. cleared
him of the charge and decided that thu
deceased had come to his death from
apOplexy." Not satisfied with this YER
dict, the son, James MCGOWAN who
was then a lad of II years demanded
post mortem examination. He chose he

examination. and went with him to the
morgue. When he arrived, however,
he found that the examination had al
ready been made. His protests were
Unavailing and later the body of his
father was given to him for interment

Was a Direct Appeal.

Constantinople. May 1S.-It transpires
that the car made a direct appeal to
the sultan to order his troops to cease
fighting and to arrange an arnistice
and this coupled with the fact that
most serious results would have ensued
if Turkey had persisted in her defiant
attitude brought about the present
state of affairs.
Tewfik Pasa, the Turkish minister OF
foreign affairs, called upon the dean OF
the diplomatic corps, Baron Won Calico
this morning to convey to foreign
ministers the sultan's decision TO ar
range an armistce.
1t is now believed that the terms of
peace will be negotiated directly De
tween Turkey and Greece.
