We are pleased to say that the con-
dition of Mrs. f. J. Deckert, who was
operated upon some three weeks ago
for gall stones. is better than could be
expected. The operation was a most
difficult one. The patient is now able
to sit up and will soon be able to be
moved from the hospital to her home.
This is good news to that lady's family
and many friends. -Marshfeld Times,

tralia to the effect that the japanese Minister,
Mr. Shimamura, has changed his attitude 70

waiian capital. After the departure or the
steamship Peru several conferences were heid
between Ministers Cooper and s;himamura, with
the result that the japanese representative
made proposals Of a much more reasonable ma
ture than those which he first offered.
Originally Japan demanded indemnity FOR the
total number OF immigrants turned away from
the islands. Now, however. II Is understood
that she is willing to accept damages In cases
where the immigrant was illegally rejected.

WHAT THD POWERS ARE READY TO LET THE

Constantinople, June 9.-It is expected that
strong pressure will be needed to overcome the
resistance OF the Turkish Government to the
retrocession Of Thessaly. Reports that Great
Britain is opposing on religious grounds Turkeys
retention Of Thessaly being circulated here
with the view Of exciting Mussuman fanatlcism.
The Powers contend that. as they guarantee
the integrity Of Turkey. the latter must respect
the integrity Of others. In memorandum sub
mitted to the Turkish Government. the Powers
propose that the crests Of the mountains on the
Groek frontier be occupied by Turkish instead
ofHC;reek troops. and also that the indemnity be
in proportion to the resources or Greece. IL Is
further proposed to modify the capitulation or
special privileges enjoyed by Greek subjects In
Turkey with the view Of abolishing certain
abuses which have been the subject OF complaint
upon the part Of the Turks. The two latter ques-
tions will be intrusted to a commission or experts
and the delimiting Of the frontier VIII ne exc
