An Effort May be Mnde TO Have IL
Amended.
Special Correspondence Il Gazette and Journal-
Dover, May l9.-Some Of the mem
bers OF the National Guard who we're
not included in the detail sent to
Philadelphia propose to make an effort
to have an amendment tackled on 10 the
National Guard bill recently passed, by
which they will feel assured that they
will always receive the same treatment
10 tina future as their fellow-nembers
10 other companies.
II was found that on account of the
wording OF Ihs appropriation resolution
nothing could be accumulated by q
Legislative investigation, and that idea
hls been abandoned.
Some Of the members Of the less for
tunate companies are indignant, how,
ever, and threaten to withdraw as soon
as they can legally do so.

st. Petersburg, Russia, May 1.-THE
newspapers Of this city protest vigor-

mauds as the price Of peace with
Greece. They declare that if Turkey

two days before Arta against much
superior forces of Greeks. has sue

unon the enemy and dislodged the
Greeks from the stronghold which they
occupied.
Constantinople, Turkey, May 49,
There was n sudden and unexpected
change in the political situation shortly
before noon to-day. Russia quietly
showed her hand, and thereby forced
Germany and Turkey out of the game
to all intents and purposes. Last night
and early this morning Turkey. sup
ported Ivy Germany, was practically
defying Russia, France, Austria, Great
Britain and Italy, insisting upon tho
annexation of Thessaly in addition to a
hugo war indemnity, and seemingly
was determined to march upon Atheus.
| The ministers received from Sofia to-
day official advices announcing that
| orders had been issued for the partia
mobilization OF the Bulgarian army
possibly at the instigation of Russia.
| There was hurried consultation of the
ministers. The war party was for
further defiance, but 10 the end pacific
counsels seem to have prevailed, for.
at ll.30 a. M. orders were telegfaphed
to Edhem Pasha. the Turkish coui-
mander-in chief in Thessaly, to cease
hostilities. The peace negotiations
will now be undertaken in real earnest,
and the Cracks will most likely be
spared any further humiliation.

Three SURPLUS Hearth.

ST. LOUIS, Dec. 23-The death Of
man at the City Hospital revealed, ac-
cording to the physicians Of the institu-
ton. the remarkable fact that he had
three more hearts than are usually al
lotted to one mortal. This surplus OF
hearts did not affect his health. ara he
probably would have lived for years had
he recovered from Inflammation OF the
kidneys. which was the cause Of his
death
The name OF this remarkable patient
was Henry Tanner. lie was d negro
and was a baker. living at 2lO9 Walnut
street. lie was admitted to the hospital
about a week ago, suffering from neph-
ritis and gradually grew worse, until his
death occurred this morning The dis
cOVcry that n was possessed OF four
hearts was made by Dr.. Suffer when he
performed the post-mortem examination
on the remains. lie says that 1t is the
most remarkable case he ever heard OF
and he does not believe that a similar
case is recorded in surgical history.
The cause OF this trouble. according 10
DR.. Suffer, is that at different times
three aneurisms had formed and that
each of these grew until II formed COM
pact mass. almost equal in size 10 the
heart. These aneurisms formed in the
aorta, the largest artery i'm the body.
and the one which leads directly from
the heart There they grew and became,
as Or. Suffer described them. zone true
heart and three false ones" These
false hearts throbbcd and pulsatcd
with the true heart and with equal
precision and apparently gave Tanner
no trouble DIR. Suffer says that if he
had not succumbed TO nephritis these
false hearts would have kept on increas-
ing until one OF them burst That would
have meant death for Tanner. The re-
markablc aorta and its four hearts will
be preserved at the hospital
