SUGGESTIONS TO FARMERS.
^ WHY IMPORT THINGS THAT CAN BE
GROWN AS WELL HERE?
Eggs Brought Jrera China?A Gxeat Future
for the Goat? Flsare that
k>^ ??.??iiifn the
Uclted Stw*. ?.
Why did vre import ocs million
dozen of eg-gs into the United States
last year? Tell me that."
The eve of the r:evr Secretary of
Agriculture, Mr. Wilson, twinkled as;
he asked the question of the Washing- j
ton ccrrespoz/deat of a Philadelphia ;
paper. Secretary Wilson then. added: j
"Do you know that 132,000 dozen j
of those eggs came from China? Think j
.of fetching lhatscrt of produce all the j
way from tbe Jir'iowery juanc. jus; vj j
make sure of freshness! A few were j
brought from Japan, but the bulk of
.? the imported eggs we a:e last year? <
800,000 dozen?were i^id in Canada. '1
"What is the matter with the A me- j
rican hen?" the correspondent asked.
"Nothing is the matter with the!
American ben: but something: is j
^ wrong with American farmer. He
aiseds to be taught the usefulness of
raising on his own land a great many J
things which we are obliged to purchase
abroad for lack of domestic supdIv.
Just think of our being compeil- i
?i to import $100,000,000 worth, of su j
- gar?every yeur.. Wb y, it is an absur-1
ditv!' Tne sugar best will grew admi- j
rably over large areas in this country,
yielding from 13 to 20 per cent, of sugar.
This summer we are going to s
make experiments in its culture in
... eighteen States, and for this purpose I?
Lave distributed over four tons of the {
.finest .^eet seed obtained from Ger- j
m'a.ny. You know, I suppose, that the I
sugar beet is the same plant as the \
ordinary garden beet, and that it has j
been made to jieid an extraordinary j
nar^QntPO'ft s?i?f>r bv selection of 1
a- ~? -? ,
plants for seed bearing from crop to
crop."
. . . "So you consider that there is no j
reason why we should not grow all j
the sugar we need in the United j
States?"
"'Not any that I can imagine. And j
why, p?ay, should we have imported
more than $10,000,000 worth of goat
skins in the iast nscal year? Is it to be
supposed-that we cannot grow goats
in America? I tell you no. The fact
is that the American farmer has much
to learn in respect to animal husbandry,
and this is only one circumstance [
in illustration. It is only very re- i
ccntly that he has begun to realize the
fact that the same sheep can be made
to yield high-priced wool and Srstrate
mutton. Ther ~; is. indeed, such bis \
money in combining the industries of
mutton production and wool production
that sheep raising may be conducted
profitably on the highest priced j
lands. It is ridiculous that we should j
import..wool "
' How about vegetable products of j
the farm?"
"The.same remark applies. Why \
v sho.uJ.d it have been necessary for us!
V \ - to import $558,320 worth of beans and ]
:i>e&s inthe-iasx fiscal year? Might we J
not have raised them just as well]
A on our own soil! Is ihere any reason ]
? Jl||5^ why we should' not have raised $558 - \
644 worth of cabbages which were \
imported? Likewise ?127,595 worth of !
potatoes? I cannot see why we should j
have bought of outsiders during the I
same twelvemonth ?2 773,535 worth j

"'People abroad seem disposed to bar j
out some of our products."
"Naturally there is that tendency, j
They do not want us as rivals in their 1
markets. But w e are taking measures j
to put a stop to unjust discrimination, i
The department of agriculture propc- J

persist in discriminating against us,
we shall insist on their telling us
why."
One of the things largely imported
which might be produced in this country-is
vanilla. This plant is one cf the
. half-doien species of orchid that have
. any ..v^lue except for their tiowers.
lis-Original, home was in Eastern
Mexico,- but it is now cultivated in
tropical countries all over the world.
Tbereds no reason why it should not
- be.grown with profit on a large scsJe
in rr>f?.States r.nde? .class.
This is done successfully in England j
and France. Most of the world's supply
of vaniila is produced on the
slopes of the Cordilleras. Tn nature it j
> depends for its fertilization en a kind j
of moth that is found only in Mexico, i
Consequently in other countries the
.. . flowers have to be fertilized artificially
by touching the stigmas with the
pollen. In this way oae man ca^ fertilize
1,000 blossoms in a day. The;
Spaniards first carried the plant to |
Europe. Vanilla, by tne way, is manufactured
in the laboratory from oil
> of cloves and assafoetida.
Experiments in the growing of tea
have been made in California recently
with very satisfactory results. The
tea produced there is of excellent
quality, though different in flavor
from any imported leaf. There seems
to be 110 ctouot tna: n couia oe gruv.ii
on a commercial scale with profit.
The plants are of Japanese, Chinese
and Formosan varieties. The yield
^ is 500 pounds cf leaves per acre, and
jr the cost of production is 20 cents a
pound in addition to the rental of the
Jand. Every person in the United
States, by the way, consumes t wenty-one
ounces of tea per annum, half
of it comic sr from China and 42 per
cent from Japan. We imported $ 12,704,440
-wortii cf it last year. The
culture of the plan: is as simple as
that of the currant or gooseberry.
V Many people in South Carolina today
* " have private tea gardens for their OTt-n
use," half a dczen bushes iurnishing a
sufficient supply for a family. The
ueds look like hazelnuts.
Camphor likewise may 03 gro^n in
pans 01 ins uniteu states. it is tne resinous
gum of a species of laurel that is
indigenous to Eastern Asia. The tree
. - . is a large one. attaining a diameter of
iwcxxiv tuupycu uuyy.u, al
is cut into chips, -which are pat into
-water and boiled, the camphor passing
in the shape of vapor through a barnboo
tube. The-process is of primitive
distillation, the gum being condensed
in cry tals, which are packed in tubes.
' From the boiling there is a residue of
oil, which is used by the natives for
illuminating purposes.
The soil or California is well adapted
to the species of dak whose bars is the
j ccrk of commerce. In fact, small for- j
ests of the trees are already growing i
in that State, and the department of
agriculture has sent many bushels of
I the acorns thither for planticg. Portugal
is the greatest producer o; cork
today, and theenormous consumption
of the article is indicated by the circumstance
that ihe world ac.-uilly!

In Southern Europe it is utilized for

[tabs, cups, religious ima-cs, horse
i shoes and coSns. Much of the finest

glasses. We imported $1,GL9.337
| worth of cork last year.
I The culture of the rubber tree is bei
i"gr tried in the region of the Florida
! Everglades In thai part of the coun
I try is a vast swampy region that could
| by made to supply :he world with rub|
ber. At present the market supply is
! threatened seriously by the reckless I
! destruction of trees in Mexico and ;
; Brazil- There are several rubber-1
producing plants, the best of them be j
ing the Siphon elastica, a superb tropical
tree, which has seeds like horse
chestnuts, taree in a pod. When ripn
j the pcd bursts like a cracker, throwing
the seeds to a distance. This tree
does not come into fuli_btaring of sap
until its 20th year. The juice is osj
per cent, rubber. A full-grown specimen
will produce50 pounds of "'milk"
per annum for forty years. The finest
rubbsr blankets arc made by pouring
the sap upon canvas. It is a striking
fact that this country imported
$16,103,000 worth of crude rubber last
year.
There is no reason -prby the opium
poppy should not be cultivated in the
United States, except that a popular
orejduice exists against it. The prejudice,
however, does not prevent the
importation of 400,000 pounds of the
drug into this country annually.
Nearly the whole of this vast quantity
is smuggled from China direct or by
Tray of British Columbia ;Only about
50,000 pounds is employed fo^ medi- j
cinal purposes, the balance bcr,\g con

is nearly always a secret one, and victims
of it are greatly more numerous
than is generally imagined. Up to
the 15th century the drug was known
only as a product of Asia Minor.
From thence it was introduced into
India and China. The gum from the
seed pods of the plant is the opium of i
commerce.
It seems surprising to learn that j
$166,354 worth of seaweeds were im- i
ported into this country last year, j
These plants are used largely in.me j
manufacture of soda, iodine, bromine
^and gelatinous extracts. On the]
; French shore of the British Channel j
: more than 2,259,000 tons of s -aweeds \
i are gathered each year with drags j
i and rakes. Of seaweed products the 3
I most important is iodine, -he entire \
! world's supply of which is ?0t from j
! this source. A marine plant called t
j "Japanese isinglass" contains so much I
| gelatine that it has eight times the
i gelatinizing power of ordinary gelatine.
Two common species called
14'lsver" and "dulse" are eaten by the {
Hsid? Indians of our Northwest co^t; J

j ties cn Cape Ccd every summer end j
j sold for making puddings. Brewers I
! and calico printers use it in their husii
liess. 3ut nearly all of the seaweed j
; crop in this country remains ungath-1
j area.
j Truffles have recently been gather- j
; ed and preserved in large quantities in j
j California. They are put up in cans,!
(parboiled and sealed in their ovrn j
j juice. It may be that these delicious >
i funsi of domestic production might 1
j take the place of the imported, of which
! many thousands of 'dollars' worth
!come from Franca annually. That
country produces every year $3,000,GOO
worth of truffles, which ssll for $2
a pound. They are found underground
about oak trees, and dogs and j
pigs, which were both very fond of;
them, are employed to smell them out. {
The origin of the fungus is very cu- j
rious. In July and August a little j
I blue-winsred fly makes its way into j
j the soil at the bsse of the oak j
! tree pierces the bark of the root j
! and lays iis eggs in the wound. j
j From the scar develops a vis-j
! cous substance, which, grows into a j
i truffle. Tiie latter when full-grovjn j
I is about the size of a walnut and has \
j a warty surface.
The demand for citron in this coan- j
[ try will soon be supplied by the do j
i mestic product. The growing of the |
j fruit is an increasing industry in Cai-;
j ifornia and Florida. Only the thick |
\ rind is uiilized. The fruit is cut ia !
! halves and put in casks with strong j
| brine; then the pulp is seperatea frotu j
j the rhind by gouging it out. The i
[ rinds are immersed in fresh water for j
i three days to free them of salt, and j
| are then boiled in a copper caldron ;
Uiitii tacv a,ic >?aiuo|
they are soaked and boiled in syrups
of different strengths, and, finally,
when completely saturated with sugar,
are dried on a wire net, coming
out mos.t appetizlngly covered with
suajar crystals.

at a late hoar Thursday afternoon, j
The announcement 01' the vote was re j

which drew from Senator Hawley an
emphatic protest against 4imobdemonstration."
The resolution as passed is i
as follows:

An analysis of the vote shows!
that the affirmative was cast by IS Re- j
publicans, 19 Democrats and4Popu-j
lists, and the negative by 12 Republi
cans and 2 Democrats. Prior to the
final vote, the motion of Senator Hale
to refer the resolution to the committee
on foreign relations was tabled? j
rpiis S4. ravs 19 Mr. Fairbanks of!
Indiana then proposed a substitute, j
providing that the President extend j
the good offices of the United States to i
Spaia toward securing an end to the |
conflict and the ultimate independence i
of the island. This, too, was tabled? j
yeas 36, nays, 16. Then followed the
adoption of the original resolution.
The voting occurred after an exciting
debate, participated in by Senators
Thurston, Elkins of WesL Virginia,
White of California, Fairbanks of In- j
diana, Hale of Maine, Spooner or j
Wisconsin and Gorman of Maryland, j
Mr. Thurston, who presided over the f
Republican national convention at St. j
Louis, recalled the stirring scene when I
that convention enthusiastically in- {
serted a Cuban plank in the plat |
form, and declared that this resolu-i
tion was in partial fulfilment of that i
pledge. Messrs. Elkins and White j
urged a conservative course ana an m- j
quiry by a committee.
Tnen came the first ^ote?that on!
the Hale motion to refer. It wasaj
test of strength, and the defeat of the;
motion assured the passage of the res- j
olution. Mr. Fairbanlcs tried to stem |
the tide by offering a compromise!
proposition, somewhat on the lines of I
the Cuban plank adopted at St. Louis,j
out it me^ the same fate as the Hale j
motion. This Drought Mr. Hale for- j
ward for a final protest. He spoke;
with intense earnestness and feeling;
and with a trace of bitterness in his j
voice. He declared that the element j
opposed to the administration, Demo- j
crats and Populists, had furnished the j
bulk of tne vote in favor of the resclu-!
tion, and that the foreign policy of j
r.he administration was thus to be die- j
iated by its opponents. Ee expressed j
th9 fear also that the resolution would j
lead to war with Spain.
Mr. Spoonsr added his protest]
against tying the hands of the admin- j
istration. Mr. Gorman closed the de-j
bate, resenting the suggestion :hatj
no-tTT liri&c trrorj* ^Y*<}<5cr> nri trip rpcnln-j
tion ana asserting that the administra- j
tion should have dispatched a war- j
ship to Cuba to ^.ect its otncials on j
the island. The final vote was then [
taken, and the Senate then adjourned j
until next Monday. The Cuban reso- j
iution came up unexpectedly at 12:30
p.m., when Senator Morgan asked'
that it be considered without waiting j
This was agreed to, and Air. Thurs-1
ton of Nebraska addressed the Senate, j
He spoke of the bloody contests which j
hsd raged during the last two years, j
There was ample information as io its)
extent from American correspondents!
who had written their dispatches on
the field of battle, iron the reports;
which filled the record*: of the Senate |
and in the archives of the State De i
partment Every man in the United j
Stales ought to be ready for action on
this question at this time, and if any
Senator was not sufficiently informed, J
Air. Thurston commended mm to ttte j
consideration of his constituents.
'"Peace in Cuba!" exclaimed the I
Senator. "If there is peace in Cuba it
is the peace of devastated ? ids. "?eace
in Cuba! If there is psace in oa,
it is the peace of desolated homes. If
there is peace in Cuba, it is the peace
of ravished women and children, and
the paens of this peace are sung bj
the uncoffined dead. "Iam a party
man of that ultra stripe," proceeded
54'-. Thurston: "but over and above j
my duty to my party is that to my i
country, to humanity, and to God, j
and 1 would be unworthy o: ray great i
party if I shaped my course on this j
resolution through psrty considera- j
tions. No Republican can aiford to i
vote against this resolution because it j
was introduced by the Democratic
Senator from Alabama."
Mr. Morgan quickly disclaimed personal
authorship for the resolution, |
saying it was but a copy of the one j
offered by Mr. Sherman, now the first j
man in the Republican party next to |
the President and Vice President. It i
was, tnereiore, essentially i-iepubJican !
in its origin. Referring to the right
of search which would folio vr recognition
of belligerency, Mr. Thurston said
there could be no provocation to war
if the search was conducted in accor
UUrLiOC >Y 1LJJL *> , L?au n.
the search was conducted by Spain, or
any other power, without respect
to international law, "there ought to
be war by the United States of America,
and war shall come to maintain tiie
honor of the nation."1
! Mr. Thurston insisted that it was
! time this government bv its action
: gave the Cub?n cause a proper position
! before the world?the right to carry
heir flag: on iand and sea; the right,
to stand beside Spain in the money j
markets of the world; -he right toj
struggle in an honorable ws.y. Then ;
the Senator closed as follows.: "These ]
ihings the Unit?d S;a;.es of America
can constitutionally and Ja.wfu]y do. J
Lei us do them now. Let us dr.spE.tch j
j the mightiest battleship of the United i

frowning suss may disturb the spirit j
of tyranny by night, and day her shifting
stars may cheer the beans of these
who are struggling to be free."
Mr. Eikius of West Virginia fcl-:
lowed ic a speech urging ih'it the Senate
should not act precipitately, but
| should await ihe inquiries 2iow being
made by the officials cf the government.
H:? insisted that there was
j rothing be::c-re the Senate to warrant
j action at this time. There was no
I Cuban government to recognize, he
| asserted. What was the postcfTic? adcress
of its President, if the resoeni-;
jtion waste be sent to hitc? sskec! Mr. ;
; iClkics. It would have to be delivered
S by Generel ililes, with the arm? be!
bind him, asserted the Senator. He
derided the statements of Mr. Mason
| that Cuban babies were taxed at birth
and Cuban brides taxed at the altar
What beccrr:es of the grow a people? i
he asked, sarcastically. Very few of;
them grown up, answered Mr Mason, j
'_i * */! _ 171! !.: , ? + ~ i

saj that ihe po&sibiiilies of war were
being- treated very lightly. He added:
' Spain cm declare war and not fire a
gun, and it will cost this nation $500.000,000.''
The Senator urged ihat the
President was as patriotic and as z?al- j
ous to protect our interests cs any j
Senator. Why, he asked, should this
Senate seek to coerce the President to
action and place hirn m a false position?
Mr. While of California opposed the j
resolution and was led into several'
lively and amusing exchanges with j
Mr. Chandler. argued that re-!
cognition was exclusively an execu-;
tive function. Mr. While, quoting j
the law, said the recognition of the j
Cubans as belligerents would in no [
way relieve them from the obligations
of the neutrality laws. Mr. Hawley, j
of Connecticut spoke briefly on the j
aesiraouny 01 conservative anu cauu-;
ous action at a time of serious emer j
gency- He closed at 3:10 p. m., and ;
the voting began at once. The pend- j
ing quesiion was on the Haia motion |
to refer the Cuban resolution to the
committee on foreign relations. The j
vote was followed with intense interest i
by the crowded galleries. Senators who j
had taken leading parts in the debate 5
moved, hurriedly about the chamber, j
mashalling their forces. The Hale:
motion to refer was defeated by the j
decisive vote of yeas 19, nays 34.
A hum of excited comment ranj
through the galleries as the Vice Presi-[
dent, in calm tones, announced the }
defeat of the motion tc refer, adding j
that the question now was ou thei
adoption of the resolution. It seemed !
likely that a final vote would be- taken 1
at once, but Mr. Fairbanks took the j
floor for his first speeciin tne Senate. \
He was glad, be said; to observe that j
there was no difference among Sena- j
tors in regard to their desire for free- j
aom in Cuba. AU vrere anxious to;
see liberty established on the desolate
island. The; Ciilj difference was as 10
the means to that end. He thought
that the ordinary course should be followed,
of waiting for the repefri of a
commissioner. The most desirable j
course to pursue, it is said, was to of -?
fer the ?ood offices of the Un;ied States I
in the cause of pe~iCe and the ultimate i
independence of the island.
HI.r. Fairbanks then offered his substitute
for the pending Morgan resctution.
Mr. Morgan mo?ed to 'ay on
the table the Fairbanks substitute, a
yea and nay vote was taken on his;
motion, wb:eh was artopted?d<6 to :t>. <
The substitute was tabled, and this!
again cleared the way for a vote en!
the resolution. Mr. rtale, who lias
been the recognized leader of the opposition
to the resolution, arose for a
Seal word o:: protest;, it was evident,
he said, that nothing now couid stay
the course of the Senate in passing this ]
resolution. In the votes just taken j
the foreign policy of ibis adioinistrp. j
loin had been dictated, and dictated i
by those in epposifion to it"I
believe," continued Mr. Hale, j
"that the passage of this resolu-j
lion involves the United States [
possibly, and I fear probabJy, in war {
in the near r'uture." Mr. Gorman oft
Maryland said he would not have sn- j
tered into the debate Had it not been!
* the effort to mate a party matier
. of the resolution and to arraign,
tiaosa advocaticg it as actuated by mo
tives unfriendly to the admini stration.
Net until yesterday, Mr. Gorman continued,
had he become convinced that
it was time for the Senate to acc.
When tfce administration officers
feared the assassination of our eori j
suls in Cuba, and did not immediately j
send one of the ships cf our rnagni'a
cent fl-iet at Hampton Roads, thenj
it was time for the Senate to act, Mr. j
Gorman closed with the statement that ]
he did not believe the passage of tne j
resolution would involve the United j
States in war v*ith Spain.

Judge Earle was born of highly j
honorable panr.tsin Greenville coun- j
ty on April 30, 1S*7. Kis fathei, |
EliasD. Earls of Greenville, was a]
prominent lawyer, and at one time j
held the offici of superintendent of j
public works of the State. Jud#e
Earle's father, married Susan C. j
Haynes worth, cf Sumter county, in j

whom Judge Sarle was the youngest. 5
His early edition was received in)
the academy of Sumter. Immediate-1
jy upon leaving the academy he hastened
to join the ranks of the Confed- j
erate army, da July, 1864, at the age j
of 17 he enlisted as a private m{
Charles's battery of light artillery, at j
the close o** the vrar a 'part of Kemper's j
artillery. a mere lad J'ldge!
E*rle did his whole duty as soidkr.
At the close of the war Judge Earle \
returned hoix-e and entered .b'urman;
University, where he graduated inj
1S67. Like most Sou'.hern people the ?
family of Judge Earie were impover-j
ished by the war, so young Earle had j
to make his own way in life. Hej
chose law as his profession, but being ]
100 poor to study it independently he
taught school by day and studied law j
at night. In April, 1870, be ex-j
arnined for the. oar by Judge Jpmes L j
Orr, afterwards minister"to Russia.]
His examination being highly sutis- j
factory he was admitied, ana began!
the practice of his profession at Aa- j
derson, where he remained until 1S75. J
He then removed to Sumter, 8. C. j
As a lawyer Judge Earle soon distin-j
guis'aed himself, and had few superi-1
ors in South Carolina; of striking ap-|
pearance, great eloquence and con- j
viceing reasoning he was almost in- j
vincible. Add to this a character |
without blemish, and one can readily \
see that he deserved success. His ster- [
iir?g qualities soon attracted attention 1
aad marked him as a leader of men. !
In 1S7S he was called by the people j
to represent them in the Legislature, i
and for four years he was a useful and j
aole member of that body. His lofty j
principles, his fearless discharge of I
ciutv, hi? great sincerity wen for him j
a host of friends and admirers. Hsi
declined re election to the Jtiouse in'
1SSQ. but was elected Senator from j
Sumter county County in 1SS2. He!
at once became the foremost champion j
of many needed reforms. Completing j
his term as Senator in 1836, he was I
elected Attorney General and for two j
terms filled that responsible position ]
with signal ability. South Carolina]
has had many eminent men in every i
sense of the word as Attorney Generals, j
but Judge Earle won more cases than
any Attorney General South Carolina j
ever had. When he accepted the of-j

personal attention to every case that
came in his ollics.
With that delicate sense of honor j
which has been his chief characteristic j
throughout life ne regarded his con- {
ingent fund as a trust fund, return-j
ir.g most of it to the Siate Treasurer. I

only in cases of grtat necessity. He
invoked no strained construction of j
the law to save his 0'.va money and j
expend the money of the people. To
him otlice meant a public trust. He
retired from the cilice of Attorney
General covered with new laurels and j
justified to the fullest extent the estimation
placed upon bv his most par
tial friends. In 1S80 he bad the honor j
of representing: his party in the na-i
tional Democratic convention at Um-j
cinnati. Again, in 1884. he went as a
delegate to the national convention, j
and was selected as a member of the j
committee to notify Mr. Cleveland of I
his nomination as President. In 1SSS |
Judge Earie declined the nomination j
of Governor. He was committed to j
the support of Governor Richardson,
who was a candidate for re-election.
It was indeed a high honor and a terrible
temptation, but JuJge Earle preferred
to keep his character untarnished,
so he kept his; word and declined
to accept the nomination. Few men
have had such a temptation, and fewer
stiii have resisted it.

the courage to stand for what he j
thought was the good of his State.
JEIis broad patriotism and good judgment
was appreciated, and in 1892 he
was elected^ Judge of the Eighth Cir- j

from the Spanish calaboose which

of American citizens had been
driven from their homes by Weyler

that only absolute submission by the
Cubans could be entertained. That

have seen the Cleveland administration
and its followers insisting that we

A dispatch from Constantinople

shortly before noon Monday.
Russia quietly showed her hand and

out of the game, to all intents and
purposes. Monday night and early
Tuesday morning Turkey, supported
by Germany, was practically defying
Russia, France, Austria, Great Britain
?nd Italy, insisting upon the annexation
of The .saly in addition to huge i
war indemnity, and seemingly wa^j
determined to march upon Athens.
The ministers received official ad- j
vices from Sofia Tuesday, announcing: j
that orders had been issued for i&e!
partial mobilization of the Bulgarian j
army, possibly at the instigation of
Russia. There was a hurried consultation
of the ministers. The war partly
was for further defiance, but in the
end pacific counsels seemed to have
prevailed, for at 11:35 a. m., orders]

to cease hostilities.
The peace negotiations will now bi I
undertaken in real earnest and the I
Greeks will most likely be spared any
further humiliation. It transpires
that the czar made a direct appeal to
the sultan to order his troops to cease
hostilities and arrange an armistice,
and this coupled with the fact that
most serious results would have en
sued if Turkey had persisted in her defiant
attitude, brought about tho present
state of affairs.
Tewfik Pasha, the Turkish minister
for foreign affairs, called upon the
doyen of the diplomatic corps, Baron
von Calico, this afternoon, to convey
to the foreign ministers the sultan's
decision to arrange an armistice. It
is now believed that the tjrms of pesce
will be negotiated directly between
Turkey and Greece.
The sultan has ordered two hospitals
of 600 and 100 beds, respectively, to be
erected near the Yidiz Kiosk in order
to enable him to visit the Turkish
soldiers who bave been wounded in
the campaign against the Greeks.
