Constantinople, August 20.?The Russian equadron arrived off Iniada. on the eastern cost of European Turkey yesterday afternoon. TURKEY COMES DOWN. Constantinople, August 20 ?Tew- j fik Pacb8, the Turkish foreign minister, yesterday visited the Russian ambassador and notified him that the Turkish government accepted all the Russian demands and begged that the Russian squadron be withdrawn j from Turkish waters. intervention imperative. Constantinople, Wednesday, August 19.?The news of the impending arrival of the Russian squadron is spreading notwithstanding the continued suppression of all telegrams and announcements on the . # subject mi 1 ? * xoe general upiiiiuu ui iue jljuiupeans here is that the time has arrived for a vigorous intervention and the abandonment of all semi-measures, which are regarded as the cause of the present rising. According to the Turkish official reports the xtrongest positions of the insurgents are at Krushevc, Merihoro and Fiorina. Contrary to previous reports, it is now stated officially that Krushevo is still occupied by the insurgents. The headquarters of the revolutionists is in the Peristeri mountains, in the vicinity of Mod astir. Women and children are not molested by the insurgents who have destroyed only fortified dwellings occupied 4 by rich Turks. It is not denied that - they kill all Bulgarians and Greeks found acting as Turkish spies, but the strictest orders have been issued not to interfere with women and children, HOW THE POWERS WILL ACT. Brussels, August 20.?The Independence Beige says it hears that the powers have arrived at an understanding regarding the steps to be taken to suppress the revolt and apply reforms in Macedonia. According to this unconfirmed report Bussia will act on the sea, occupying the Dardanelles and the Bospborus. Austria will act on the land and Italy will exercise surveillance over Albany. After peace is restored the powers are to withdraw and restore to Turkey her full sovereignty. NEGOTIATIONS IN PROGRESS. London, August 20.?The Associated Press learns that important negotiations are in progress among the powers that promise to result in the early adoption of a new plan for the settlement of the Macedonian trouble. A foreign office official said this afternoon: "It is somewhat premature to say that a definite agreement on the sub ject has already been reached, as stated by the Independence Beige of Brussels, but notes are being exchanged in this direction." In other quarters it was intimated that the scheme was partially on the lines referred to by the Belgian newspapers. There is no doubt that an agreement of some kind has been reached as in the beginning of negotiations the powers started with the general purpose of cooperating and the harmony has continued.

As it sounded the warning with its rattles Clark eeized the monster with his right hand just below the head with a firm srrasp, and working the levers with his left hand brought the engine to a stop at the next station. Then with his left hand he opened a stop cock and with the right held the snake's head in the escaping steam until it was dead. The fireman was so scared that be stayed on the tender until the station was reached, when he jumped off an ran away. ? Annual Holiness Association.
