Losno.v, May 15. The sultan's reply
to the note of the ambassadors at Con
stantinople, ofl'ering mediation, saying
he would be ready to discuss the mutter
after the greater Kairam festival, which
ends on Sunday night, justifies the fear
that the powers have lost ground that
will not be easy to get back. Abdul
Humid is cool to the point of insolence.
His attitude is that of a sovereign with
a powerful army behind him, and he is
disposed to treat the powers cavalierly.
Articles published in the semi-omcial
press of the Continent show that the in-
... t..n nF M.n nll-n !ti
crease in uiu jiikhi-ikc m ouuuu ,
the chief concern of the European cabi
nets and that the prospects of an effect
ive enforcement of the general reforms
for the Turkish empire are thereby rele
gated to the very distant future.
The Journal des Debats declares that
the result ut the war has been to place

for the past half-centurv, adding:
"Her tremendous military effort is
largely in excess of what the struggle
against Greece required. It waB done to
refute the allegation of decrepitude and
to demonstrate to the sultan's own sub
jects and to those of the smaller states
and to the great powers that Turkey is
able to hold her own."
The British, Eussian and Austrian
newspapers re-echo these remarks, and
it is generally felt that this fact will
have to be reckoned with in the negotia
tions upon the conditions of peace.
In the meanwhile, the postponement
of the sultan's reply until after the great
er Bairnm festival is interpreted as mean
ing that his majesty intends that his
army shall continue its victorious ad
vance until every strategic point oil the
Otlirya mountain range is in the hands
of the Turks, and that only then will
Edhetn Pasha receive orders to stop
fighting.
The resumption of fighting by the
Greeks in Epirus is regarded as a foolish
move, and only furnishes Turkey with a
plausible motive for refusing an armis
tice. It also hurts the progress of the
peace negotiations.
The cabinets are also occupied with the
dillicult problem of how Greece will pay
the war indemnity which Turkey seems
certain to demand. M. Delynnnis, tho
former Greek premier, in his newspaper,
sanguinely argues that Greece cannot be
expected to pay an indemnity because
the Turks "declared the war officially
without provocation." This view of
the question is not shared elsewhere, and
an international commission to adminis
ter finances of Greece on the lines of a
Bimilar Turkish commission is mooted.
The commission would, it ia proposed,
sit at Athens and take over the Greek
customs for the purpose of liquidating
the Greek debt and possibly for the war
indemnity.
NEW oitK'S DESTINATION.
Tho CruUer ISelug Hurriedly Prepared
(or a Long Sen Voyueo.
Kkw Yokk, May 15. Orders have
been eent to Rear-Admiral Montgomery
Sicard to have his flagship, the New
York, made ready to go to sea from New
York, at a moments warning, according
to a Washington dispatch to the Herald.
She is to fill iip with coal to her full
capacity. The haste with which she is
to prepare for sea may be judged from
the fact that, although she needs about
170 tonB to fill her bunkers to their full
capacity, this amount of fuel will be
hurried on board tomorrow.
Tho New York's engines have been
taken apart, and she is undergoing a
thorough overhauling of her motive ma

partment, but that her departure from
port has bearing on the Cuban cause is
denied by the secretary. It does not
seem possible that the recent routine
order regarding target practice cover the
case of the New York. Not only would
there be no haste in getting her ready
for sea it target practice and gun exercise
were all that was intended, but there
would be no necessity for filling up her
coal bunkers. With about 1100 tons al
ready stored, the orusier could remain at
sea a couple of weeks without running
short of fuel. The rush to get the re
mainder of her coal on board indicates
a long voyage.
It has been suggested that Consul-General
Lee has renewed his request that
a naval force be kept within a short dis
tance of Havana for the protection of
American citizens in that city against
mob violence. There is no corroboration
of this theory, but the belief among navy
officers is strong that the New York is
to bo held in complete readiness to go
to Key West at a moment's warning.
Tho Shakers have made a discovery
which is destined to accomplish much
good. Realizing that three-fourths ol
all of our sufferings arise from stomach
troubles, that the country ia literally
filled with people who cannot eat and
digest food, without subsequently suffer
ing pain and distress, and that many
are starving, wasting to mere skeletons,
because their food does them no good,
they have devoted much study and
thought to the subject, and the result is
this discovery of their Digestive Cordial.

More Trouble In Africa.
Paris, May 15. There are indications
of a possibility of serious trouble between
France and Morocco, owing to the incur
sion of Moorish tribesmen into Algerian
territory. The Moors recently revolted
against the authority of the governor of
Cudida, a town near the French frontier,
and on Tuesday attempted to sieze an
Algerian village. The French cavalry is
being massed on the frontier of Morocco
and two companies of zouaves and a
number of tirrailleurs, with several field
pieces, have been ordered to hold them
selves in readiness to leave Oran, the port
of Algoria nearest to Morocco. A rum
or is also in circulation that 30 spahis
(Arabian cavalry in the French service)
were surprised by Moors nenr Magnhia,
who fired several volleysat them. One
of tho sapbis was wounded.

Mr. James Rowland of this village,
state that for twentv-five vears his wife
has been a sufferer from rheumatism
A few nights ago she was in such pain
that she was nearlv crazv. bhe sent
Mr. Rowland for the doctor, but he bad
read of Chamberlain's Pain Balm and
instead of coing for the doctor he went
to the store and secured a bottle ot it.
His wife did not approve of Mr. Row
land's purchase at first, but neverthe
less applied the Balm thoroughly and in
an hour's time was able to go to sleep.
She now applies it whenever she feels an
acho or a pain and finds that it always
gives relief. He says that no medicine
which she had used ever did her as much
good. The 25 and 50 cent sizes for sale

Astoria, Or., May 15. What is be

caught in the Columbia river was de
livered at S. Elmore's packing-house in
this city this morning. The monster was
one of the truest and most perfect sped
mens of royal chinook salmon ever seen
in Astoria. His actual measurement,
from tip to tip, was 4 feet ! inches,
and his largest circumference, three
feet, the girth close to the tail being
fully one foot. The spread of the tail
was 1 foot 4 inches, and the exact weight,
8l pounds. On being cooked and
packed the fish filled 5,l dozen one
