Allows E Adjustment of Italian Post
offices and Settlements.

Rome, April 21.-The threatened
trouble between Italy and Turkey ap-
parently has ended as a tempest in a
teacup and, for the present at least,
there will be no demonstration by
Italian warships in Turkish waters.
Indeed, it now seems likely that the
incident will produce a better feel
ing between Constantinople and
Rome, leading to an agreement by
the two countries on many differences
which heretofore have been the cause
of not little friction.
The Turkish government has given
its permission to Italy to establish
postoffices in the Turkish cities where
the other powers may have like in
situations, and in like manner has
met the Italian demands with regard
to other questions that have been
subjects of dispute.

incurable. For great many years doctors

cure with local treatment, pronounced II in

constitutional disease and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure
manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo,

night at Braybook Junction, about
eight miles from Melbourne, Al per-
sons being killed and go injured.
The Bendigo train, with two heavy
engines, crashed into the rear of the
Ballarat train. Five cars of the lat
ter train were wrecked. The wreck
age took fire and was almost COM
pletely consumed. Many of the bodies
were unacceptable when recovered.
The Bendigo train suffered but lit
tie damage, but the two engines were
piled on top of the rear coaches of
the other train. Terrible scenes fol-
lowed, many of the injured being
caught in the wreckage, and were
with difficulty rescued. 1t was a long
time before doctors and nurses ar
rived on the scene and in conse-
quence intense suffering prevailed
among the injured.
