Turkey Could Duty France, Austria! Italy and England, But Not Russia Standing Alone-Appalling Outrages Ueported. CONSTANTINOPLE, May 18 There was a sudden and unexpected change In the political situation shortly before noon today. Russia quietly showed her hand and thereby forced Germany and Turkey out of the game, to all In tents and purposes. Last night and early this morning, Turkey, supported by Germany, was practically defying Russia, France, Austria. Great Brit ain and Italy, Insisting upon the annx- ation of Thessaly In addition to a huge war Indemnity, and seemingly was de termined to march upon Athens. Today the ministers received official advices from Sofia, announcing that or ders had been issued for the partial mobilization of the Bulgarian army, possibly at the instigation of Russia There was a hurried consultation the ministers. The Turkish war party was at first for further defiance, but in the end, a pacific counsel seemed t have prevailed, for. at 11:35 a. in., or ders were telegraphed to Edliem Pasha, the Turkish eommander-ln chief In Thessaly, to cease hostilities. Peace negotiations will now lie un dertaken in real earnest and the reeks will most likely be spared any further humiliation. BERLN, May 18.

DOMOKOS. May IS. (Delayed in ransmlsslon) The battle between the Turks and Greeks, which began near here at noon today (Monday) was by far the fiercest of the war.

MANCHESTER, Eng., May IS. The Guardian today publishes a dispatch from its special correspondent, with the Greeks, which says: "The desti tution of the Greeks at Epirus is ap palling. Everything they had in the world has been burned and pillaged The scenes In the flight were dreadful Young girls flung themselves from rocks to escape outrage, and a youth hot his two sisters to Bave them from outrage. A boy who was captured by the Turks had his lips, nose and ears cut off and his eyes torn out before he was killed." THESSALY, May 18. The Greeks have abandoned Domokos. ATHENS, May 18.

PRACTICE CLASS ENTERTAINS CHILDREN OK THE FORMAL AND COLLEGIATE MODEL CLA89. A Thorouubly EBjsjrable Proiriani Given by tulldrea Who are Tautchl bv the Young Lad lea Who Will Grsd nate From the Institute this Year. A new feature of the commencement exercises of the Normal and Collegiate institute was Inaugurated yesterday, In a most enjoyable entertainment given by the practice class. This clans consists of the children of the Model School, taught by the young ladles who will graduate this year from the Nor mal department. It Is conducted by Miss Dixon, the teacher of normal methods, and Is one of the most prac tical and useful departments of the Bchool. Here the pupils have actual practice In teaching five grades, under competen direction, which tits them In the most efllcient manner for such work after graduation. Apropos of this normal work, the In stitute has recently received well de served recognition on the part of the State. Through the untiring efforts of Dr. Lawrence, it has been placed on the same footing with the State Normal school at Greensboro, so that Its grad uates are entitled to teachers' certi ficates without further examination. The program yesterday was one of much Interest and variety, and was ad mirably rendered. It consisted of solos, duets and choruses, interspersed with recitations and dialogues, and closing with a beautiful drill by the children of the physical culture class. The sweet voices and the bewitching naivete of the little ones in the songs and the recitations completely cap tured the audience; while the grace and precision of their movements in the drill, as they "Put forth the charm Of woven paces and of waving hands," left a delightful picture on the memory. Among the patrons and friends of the school who were present were Mr. and Mrs. V. (. Carmlchael. MaJ. Wm. E. Hreese. W. A. Blair. W. F. Snider, Mrs. CadwHllader, Prof. Kggleston, and Rev. C. H. King. The entertainment was to be given a week later, but the children Insisted on having it yesterday in order to se cure the presence of Dr. Lawrence, wlm left today for a ten days' stay in Indiana In the Interests of the school. The Doctor referred feelingly to this courtesy in his remarks at the clos of the program, and also favored the children with an amusing anecdote of Daniel Webster. It seems that the orator, when a schoolboy, was not par ticularly careful about his hands. On one occasion, when he was to be pun ished, and had held out a very soiled hand for castigation. the teacher told him if he could lind a dirtier hand than that in the si hool the punishment would be remitted. "Here It Is." said the quick-witted Daniel, promptly pro ducing the other, which was a littlt worse, from behind his back. And Dan iel went unwhlpped. The Doctor, of course, managed ti "point a moral" for the children, and then called for remarks from the gen tleman present, who was Interested in more voting ladies, and Had more undet his protection than anyone else In town. Prof. Kggleston Promptly responded "owning the soft Impeachment," and acknowledging that he had been more or less in love witn somenoay ever since he was three years old. As he could not have begun much earlier, his remark call to mind the saying of Thomas Bailey Aldrich. that every man, at some time in his life, has been In love with some woman older than himself except Adam, and he would have been if he had had the opportun- tv." Interesting remarks were made by Rev. Mr. King and Maj. Breese. The latter, at first, pleaded total Inability to make speeches: but this was such a barefaced Imposition on the audience that he was obliged to recant and make one after all, to the delight of his hearers.

The pro ctlon levee around the Burton breaks at Baton Rouge was completed last night. Not a single call for help came from anywhere yesterday, and though the river has shown no material fall the water is expected to go down steadily below the mouth of the Red river. A rapid fall will hold more disaster than a rise, in the w ay of caving banks, but warnings are issued daily, and there will be no excuse for a lack of vigilence. Bank Rnn Averted. SOUTH FRAMINGHAM, Mass., May 18. A serious run on the Framlngham savings bank was averted today by the directors who refused to honor checks for more than $100 from each depositor, taking advantage of the 60 day statute as to larger amounts.

He -was very indignant and called on the editor. He did not "pull a gun," but exhibited a 44-calibre cartridge and remarked in In a graceful way that he "drew the line at Bots." The line was drawn and peace reigns In Warsaw. John It. Smith, the penitentiary su perintendent is one of the happiest men above ground. He now lives In the penitentiary, In the "administration building, and Is delighted, lie said this morning: "It I sthe best place to live In the State; the happiest famllv and the most religious." This is a high tritiute to the convicts. Janitor Westmoreland of the Su preme court building is superintending a general cleaning therein. The carpets. he says, were found to be full of the mierobuH legalls and he is having these killed, and the carpets incidentally made as bright as If new. A prepara ton Is used for this purpose.
