May 17 -Cul? en? grossed the attention of the senate to-day.. The public interest in the subject was shown by the great crowds which besieged the galleries throughout the day. Among the oceupants of the diplomatic gallery were Sir Julian Panncefote, the En glish ambassador, and Minister Hatch of Hawaii, and in the reserved gal? lery was GeV Dan Sickles, ex-United States minister to Spain Neither the Spanish legation nor the Cuban bureau in Washington were repre? sented in the galleries so far as could *be observed Two phases of the subject were presented. First came the question of relief to destitute and starving Americans io Cuba. This was pres? ented in the President's messe ge as soon as the session opened Imme? diately following the reading of the message Mr. Davis, chairman of the committee on foreign relations, pre? sented a favorable report on the joint resolution originally introduced by Mr Gallinger. appropriating $50, 600 for the relief of American citizens in Cuba There was only one brief speech-from Mr Gallinger-and then the resolution went through by unanimous vote. The resolution as amended is as fallows : ' . Resolved, by the senate and house of representatives of the United States, congress assembled, That the sum of $50,000 be, and the same is. her?;by appropriated ont of any money in t?e treasury not otherwise appro? priated, for the relief of destitute citizens of the United Stales in the island of Cuba, said money to be ex? pended at the discretion and under the direction of the President of the United States in the purchase of food, clothing and medicines for such citizens and for tiansporting to the United States such of them as so de ?ire und who are without means to transport themselves." Terms of tbe Turks. Annexation of Tbessaly One : of the Demands. - * Constantinople. May 16.- The porte j bas replied officially to the oote of tbs j powers sod declines to agree to an ! armistice until the followiog coaditioos are accepted : The annexation of Thessaly, an in- j demnity of ?16,000.000 Turkish and j the abolition of the capitulatiocs. The j porte proposes that olenipotentiaries of j tbe powers meet at Pharsalas to discuss j the terms of peace and declares that if these conditions are declioed tbe Turk- ? ish army will continue to advance The demand for the annexation of Tbessaly is based up on tbe fact tbattbc province was originally ceded to Greece on the advice of the powers with the object of ending brigandage and Greek incursions into the Ottoman territory, the poj*e believing at that time cession would attain the objects, but the recent incursions of Greek bands and the events immediately preceding tbe war have proved to the contrary. Thia is tbe substance of the reply. The ambassadors met to?day to con? sider the porte's answer, which is re? garded as raising an extremely grave issue. k It is believed that representa? tion will be made to the sultan person? ally to induce a modification of these terms, but it is foreseen that this will be very difficult, owing to the attitude of the powerful Old Turk war party. If the porte should prove obdurate a European conference is not improbable, although at present Kassia is opposed to this. It ts regarded as quite certaio fthat the powers will not consent to a retroces sion of Thessaly. Even Germany is believed to be resolute on this point, because it would involve a violation of the Berlin treaty and imperil the peace of the Balkans.. Altogether the reply of the porte has caused the greatest surprise. It ap? pears that during the discussion of the note from the powers by the council of the sultan's ministers. Gews reached the council tbat 3.0C0 Greeks had lar d 2d at Palona and were marching/ to Jaoioa with the intention of co-operat? ing with other forces from -Arta. This created a bad impression among the ministers The council of ministers met again to-day and the sultan has ordered a distribution of troops at various points along tbe Sal?nica railway. Official dispatches have been received from the commandant at Janina, wbo says that a division of the Greek forces approach? ing the town by a oarrow gorge from .the direction of Gremcnitza. charged the heights of Griboro and Kokonaria, but suffered heavily, losing 200 killed, while on the other side, tbe Greeks were driven back upon Paraskevi. The commandant ?also says that fight? ing has occurred at Kumuzades. No further details are given, except that all three battles lasted until evening, and that the imperial troops retained their positions. Tbe Greeks will proba? bly be reinforced? and the fighting re? newed on the morrow No statement is made as to the Turkish losses The Turkish commander as Laros telegraphs under yesterday's date as follows : "The outcome on a desperate battle, lasting two days, against a force of 15,- j 000 Greeks, is that the latter have j abandoned the position of tbe heights j they bad previously oaptared and have j withdrawn to the olive groves of Gre- \ meoitza. London, May 17.-A despatch to | tbe Daily Mail from Constantinople j says the pone's reply demands in its concluding paragraph, an extradition treaty with Greece, aod that the port of Volo and Prevesa be open for vessels to carry food supplies to the Turkish troops. Trouble is Coming. Germany,, Prance and Russia Have United. Berlin, May 15.-The correspondent of the Associated Press is informed that during the past week a defioite under? standing was perfected by which the cabinets of Germany. France and Rus? sia will soon reach the Egypt and Trans? vaal questions and abie will be done systematically io au aoti-British sense. As soon as the Greco-Turkish matters i are settled, the subject will be jointly taken up unless Great Britain io the meanwhile precipitates matters, in which she will encounter the united, open hostility of the three continental powers. The ultimate object of the agreement is to force the evacuation of Egypt and the nullification of the Pretoria conven? tion of 1886, and to put tbe Transvaal j upon a perfectly independent basis. France, io the settlement of peace ?conditions with Greece, will persistent? ly side with Kassia and Germany, in spite off the strong current of public opinion to the contrary.

It Was a Pretty Wedding The carriage of Mr. Warren Burgess D ci80i. and Mis* Cooper June DuR-tnt, watch was solemnized on Weduesdny, Ma) 12ib, wns oue of more tbau usual interest, owing io the great popularity of bo b parties to tbe contract Mr. Dickson's cordial and sonny manners and generous nature bas won for bim many friends, and, though still a yoong m?n, be can count tbem ny ibe dozen in very many communities ia Sumter, Claren? don and Williamsburg counties la Miss Cooper DufUot, be bas won for bi3 bride the .'Belle of two counties," and a lady, who, with the beauty of ber person unites those j pratts of mind and character which make ber a lender in the tocia] circle and fit her to adorn any station. Their many friends offer them-their best wishes for a happy, useful and long liff, and beg that in the new ties aid friends be not forgotteo. "It was a pretty wedding," said one of the ?.uea'S, aod that is so true, full and concise tbat perhaps nothing more should be added. Still; there are some who "want to koow" "Who waited with who? and what did they wear ?" So, lt was at Victory Plains, the residence if the bride's mother, Mrs M E. Dup ?nt, by the Rev. James McDowell at 4 3C . m. ^nite a number of near reiatiies and a few lriends assembled to witness the ceremony, rbe attendants were G W!. McBride and Miss Bessie DoRant ; Edgar C. Dickson and Miss ?izzie Nelson ; J. Horton Rigby and Miss Jlivia McFadden. While Miss Gertrude 3uRant, as organist, flooded the parlor and tdj-iceat corridors with the sweet music of Uende?lsohn's Wedding. March, tbe bridal >arty came in with rytbmic step and deftly ormed an aisle, at the foot of which the be rotbed couple stood. With clear responses o the impressive service they took those lolemo vows which made them man and wife rbe groom and bride were overwhelmed with ;oogratulations. One could only shake jaods when one would be elbowed ont of the vay, so each had to come a second time with heir little speeches and tender of good vishes. Thee everybody congratulated tomebody, till it seemed as if all were mar? led or wanted to be. This happy conclusion vas interrupted by a rush to view tbe bridal )reseots, and the bride slipped away to doff )er veil and doa her travelling suit. The ireaeots wei1, deserved a share of attention, tianr were handsome and costly and all were astefal. Tbe party from Man&iog, iocioding the lappy pair, left at 5 30 for their bonces, and io ended the merry May marriage. But-oh yes!-the bride and ber maids vere all in white.

Mr. Editor : Tbe Legislature has tampered vith the road law until they have it down to i fine point ?t last. Forty-eight commission ?rs, beside the supervisor, in the county, and suppose 48 overseers, who are to be paid me dollar per day for their services; the :bain gang, that costs tbe county at least $100 >er mooth, that is not worth to the county 525. and before every election the candidates :rys. economy, w.hea they mean extravagance. X seems that our law makers, both State and jatiooal. try to make as many offices as possi >le, and appropriate as mach money as possi )le for objects that conld be left off, losing light entirely cf tbe poor man that bas to oil and sweat, denying wife and little oaes of kings that they need to raise their tar, and ben for a set of legislataremen to use that nosey as if it had rained dowo, and then lave the face, when tbeir term of office is ibout out to preach reform and economy, and ivery year gets worse and worse. But tbe oad law. We had the best road law before .be war tbat we have ever bad since, and I :ee no reason why we can't have it again, je^every section of road have its overseer. Smpower him with ail authority that is lecessary to have the road worked ; do away with this commutation tax, without it be >aid over to the overseers on the roads that hey have in charge where those liable to vork have paid, and overseer to hire HS naoy days work dose on said road a3 he has noney to pay fur, and when the roads are corked, the commissioner ride over the roads ind see the work, and if it is not satisfactory iare it gone over. The present system will not do, for one iverseer cannot work all roads to suit all armers, and they are the ones that have the .oads to work. For instance, we are warned int in May, the busiest ?me of the year for he farmer. Our crops are to work, all that we lave to depend on for a living and pay our iones: debts. Bot the law says it is your :ims work the road, and so on Monday norning in place of your hands going to the ?eld to plow, you must send them on the joblic road to work. As everybody is brough h^nliog fertilizers aod about what tupplies they can get, and nobody has much ise for roads, and the lands are dried off iIcely and :n good condition to work, and ve are nil anxious to be stiring our crops, rying to break the crust around the roots eo hat they may grow, and as our most ex lerienced farmers would not dare try to tell * hat a days plowing, one of these nice dry lays are worth to us I Yet the law says, drop ?verything and go work the road The iverseer, if be bas any crop, bas some one io lis place. He is after that dollar, that ai nigbty dollar, that looks to some as large, veli I won't say what, mighty big though. Yours &c, DRY JIM. Take JOHNSON'S CHILL & FEVER TONIC.

WEDGEFIELD NOTES. Wedgefield S. C. May 17 -Recent rains lave made oats come out most wonderfully ; ant owing to continued cool weather tr.ey nature slowly. Stands of corn are very poor, due largely to bud worms. Stands of cotton seem very good indeed, our farmers seem io good spirit?.

Tbe whole neighborhood is astir over commencement exercises of our Graded School wbicb will come off" on the evening of the 25th inst. We are glad to say the health of our Com? munity is very good. We bave beard with regret of the criticism ia the State, which we bear is pretty severe, jr the writing up of Wedgefield, for the Watchman, by Mr. McDonald F.urman. We aave not seen the piece in the State, neither bave we any idea wbo wrote it, bot it seems to us to be very uncharitable, particularly as Mr Forman was requested, and rather urged, to do what h- did, and so far as we have been ible to learn, he gave satisfaction to the peo? ple interested.

It wns so effective in curing tbose wno used tbe remedy tba: they were loud in their praises of it and in cooseuqsnce a large de? mand for the Cordial was at once created.
