mayor the power of removal throughout his

the constitution is limited to accepting or

successful beginning has been made; that it
is all over with diplomacy, negotiations aud
identical notes or blockades. and that the
eloquent voice of the rife has spoken at

Greek bands are crossing the frontier at
various points, and that the war seems in
