The Gresor,nn Cniondnr.


It Is three centuries and over since
Gregory XII reformed the Julian calen-
dar and proclaimed 1t TO be used In all
catholic countries, where the faSts and
| festivities Of the church were observed.
twas not adopted In Protestant coun-
tries until many Years natcr. and not in
Great Britain until 1752 Then ParlIa-
ment established THE reform and ordered
eleven days to be dropped from the year
1852. the next day after the Sd Of Sep
tember in that year to be called the
18th. MANY ignorant people actually
| supposed they had been robbed OF eley-
EN- days of the year. and the cry Of
Give us back our eleven days. was
frequently shouted ny the mob in the
6treets Of London when any of the Nj M
iStry passed by. The reform was adopt
ed in all countries save those where
the Greek church was the established
| church. that Is. In RUSSIAN and her de-
Tendencies. and in Greece. and to-day
they still maintain the Julian system Of
reckoning the year. The result Is that
there lis now twelve days difference in
time between these countries and the
rest OF the civilized world, and after
1900 there will be thirteen days differ
ence.
This is a, great disadvantage In all
commercial relationship. and efforts
have long been made to persuade Rus
sia to make the change, but hitherto
without avail. The Ministry OF Bull
gaIia has, however, made the first
move to effect the reform In that coun-
try. and a bill has been introduced in
the Sobranje TO bring the Eastern
method of computing time Into confor-
| nifty with that OF Western Europe. The
Greek church is the main obstacle in the
WAY OF reform, so the progress Of the
measure will doubtless be watched with
great interest. If it passes it Is al
| together likely that Greece and Russia
will follow and that the beginning of
the twentieth century will see the
Gregorian Calendar at last established
throughout the civilized world.

BANKER JOHNSON SENTENCED

The Logansport UndD Financier Slated
For Ten Years.
INDIANAPOLIS, May 29.-John F. John
son, late president and cashier of the
State National bank of Logansport, was
sentenced to 10 years imprisonment i'll
the. Ohio state penitentiary by Judge
Baker of the United States court for the
district of l.Sliana. There was no SEN
sation and johnson received the words
Of the judge without tremor, and Mrs.
Johnson, who was present i'll the court
room, listened to the sentence without
emotion. By counting counting off
good time johnson will have to serve
about seven years.
johnson pleaded guilty to indict-
ments charging him with wrecking the
Logansport bank. These indictments
practically included every section of the
national banking law. Before sentence
was passed by the court, John r. Will
son, Johnson's attorney, read certifi-
cate of Johnson's previous good charac-
ter that had been secured at Logansport.
A written statement by johnson was
also read.

THE PORTE REPLIES.
Consents to Negotiate for Peace Under
Certain Conditions.

Consents to Negotiate for Peace Under
Certain Conditions.
LONDON, May 29.-The Daily Mails
correspondent at Constantinople says:
The porte has replied to the note of the
powers and consents to negotiate for
peace provided the Greek commanders
first sign an armistice. AS soon as this
is done the government will negotiate as
to the peace conditions with the ambas-
sadors, and the treaty will be signed by
the Turkish and Hellenic plenipoten-
tiaries in Thessaly.
The correspondent Of The Times at
Athens says: The dispatches which the
government has received from repre-
sentatives of Greece abroad all indicate
that the peace negotiations have taken a
turn more favorable to Greece. Tur-
keys proposal to occupy Thessaly nc
longer receives any consideration owing
to England's attitude, while the pro.
posal to abolish the capitulations in the
case of Greek subjects in Turkey is re-
jected and the suggested extradition
treaty is apparently set aside.
The correspondent Of The Standard al
Constantinople says: The immediate
encourage of the sultan favors restoring
Thessaly to Greece. The Turkish for
eign minister has spoken on the subject
in conciliatory tone to the Baron d
Calico, the Austro- Hungarian ambassa
dor, asking only little delay in ordel
that public excitement may subside.
