(JRECO-TL RKISHWAR THE PIGHTING BEGINS ON THE MAC EDONIAN FRONTIER. Turk* Fdw tin* Miloiiim I'as* hikl Cross the Mountain* Into ThcHsaly— Greeks Capture Dainusi, an Important Turkish Town—Grecian Fleet Takes Pre vena. The strained relations between Greece and Turkey, resulting: from the Cretan imbroglio, have at last culminated in actual and active hostilities. On Saturday last the Turkish coun cil of ministers at Constantinople, after i protracted conference with tlie sul tan, declared war against Greece, alleg ing as casus belli that the Greeks had invaded the Ottoman empire on the Macedonian frontier. For a week or more irregular bands vf Greeks, equipped and directed by the Kthnike hetairia, or Panhellenic league, had made frequent incursions into Mac edonia, but for those raids the Greek government disclaimed any responsibil ity, and t assertion of the porte that odicers and soldiers of the Greek army were connected with these expeditions was positively denied in Athens. The formal notice "f Turkey's hostile declaration was received in Athens on Sunday, when the legislative assembly was specially enlivened, and amid the wildest excitement and enthusiasm | Premier Delyannis announced on lie half of King George and the govern- i ment that the Greeks accepted the Ot- i toman gage of battle, declaring, howev- j or. that they were not the aggressors. Almost simultaneously with the dee- ; laration of war lighting began all along the frontier and has since continued. Edhem Pasha, the commander at the Turkish headquarters at Elassona, be- t gun at once a movement of his forces j toward Milouna pass, in the mountains which separate Turkish from Greek ter ritory, and when* the principal roads leading from Macedonia into Thessaly converge and cross t lie mountains. Here Edhem Pasha encountered u force of Greeks, about half as many as his own troops. The Greeks heroically fought to defend the pass, but by sheer 1 force of numbers were at last compelled ] to give way, and the Turks swarmed through the mountain dqflle to the Thessalian plains, and are now pro- Seeding toward the Greek headquarters, at Larissa, though their advance is stubbornly resisted by the Hellenes, J who are receiving re-enforcements and may be able to check further move ment In this direction. It is stated that 10,000 soldiers were killed ut Milouna pass, the Turks losing three officers of high rank. Crown Prince Constantln. whose headquarters are at Larissa, has taken personal command of the troops In the field, and King George has started for the frontier. While losing at one vulnerable point, hat of Milouna pass, the Greeks appear to .fcave more than held their own else*where along the frontier, making frequent Incursions into Macedonia and capturing and holding several advanta geous positions. Contemporaneous with the fighting on the frontier, a Greek fleet lias been operating In the bay of Arta, bombard ing the Turkish fortified city of Pre vesa. destroying the fortifications and shewing th< Turkish guns, which had been firing on the vessels lying off Ac tlum, just ac ross the bay from Prevesa on Greek territory. CAPTURE OF DAMASI. Greek* Talce and Destroy an Important. Turkish Town. Athens, April 21. —The news of the capture of Damasi, which is confirmed by official dispatches, puts a new com plexion upon the situation on the fron tier. is a great encouragement to the government and is likely to have the most exhilarating effect upon the spir its of the Greeks, who had been great ly deprcs l by the reverses of their ! troops at Milouna pass. This success fcS "r\ WL? S - •/' KING OF GREECE, and the fact that the fall of Prevesa ' seems imminent virtually offsets the calamity at Milouna. If the Greek divisions effect a union at Damasi. as is expected, there is almost nothing in the way of their prompt advance to Elassona. If Tyrnavo falls into the hands of Edhem Pasha and the Turkish troops sweep down upon the plain and ad vance to Larissa to meet the force con centrated there under the crown prince, they will be between two grand divi sions of the Greek, army. This seems to have been the object of Greek strat egy. In At liens greater attention has been paid to the operations in the neighbor hood of Revenl than to those at Milou na pass. The theory all along has been that if the Greeks could establish them selves at Damasi, their load would lie open to Elassona. The exact situation at Tyrnavo if somewhat in doubt. The news from that point is conflicting, but there is no confirmation of the rumor that the place had been captured by the Turks. What seems to have happened is that Tyrnavo was evacuated in order to send troops forward to Reveni, and was then reoecupied by troops from Mi louna. A dispatch from Arta says that 3,000 Greeks have crossed th frontier at Hani and a severe artillery duel has been in progress since Monday. The Greek artillery have silenced the Turk ish Imauret fort commanding the town. Two attempts by the Turks to cross the river were repulsed. There has been brisk firing and a heavy infantry fire along the line for about five miles. ! Two Greek officers and many Turks I have been killed. All the members of the gendarmerie ' and other police forces militarily organ ized are now going to the frontier. The I citizens have volunteered to guard the town, and the same state of affairs pre | vails in all other towns of Greece. On all sides there is a firm determination , to meet the Turkish invasion, and ev ery man who can be spared and who 1 can bear arms is going to the front. The Athenian ladies, under the pat ronage af the queen, have converted the steamer Thessaly into a floating i hospital Three hundred beds for the wounded have been fitted up on board of her, and she is now proceeding for j Volo. Crown Prince Constantin has as ' sumed supreme command of the Greek I forces in the field. I It is also announced that King George of Greece leaves Athens for the fron- , I tier at once. I News has reached here that the Greeks after a desperate battle have ! i captured and burned Damasi. Viglla |is still resisting. But another division ; of the Greek troops, it is reported, has traversed the Reveni pass and captur- SULTAN OF TURKEY. P(1 three blockhouses. This division has almost reached Damasi. where it will effect a union with the force that cap tured the town. The 20,000 troops un der General Smolenitz displayed the ! greatest bravery. Reveni lies 12 miles northeast of Larissa. Edhem Pasha, with a force variously estimated at from 10,000 to 11.000 troops, led seven assaults against It. but all were repelled by the Greeks. The Crown Prince Constantin has tel egraphed here that the Turks at that point were completely and finally re pulsed. Movement* of Turkish Warships. Constantinople, April 21.—A second Turkish squadron has left the Golden Horn for the Dardanelles. It consists of the ironclad Orhanien, the monitor Ilifairahman, the corvette Mansoura, five torpedo boats and four steamers which have been converted into cruis ers, Edhem Pasha has wired the sultan that he has gained several notable vic tories, occupying all the fortified posi tions commanding Tyrnavo. He re ports that the Greeks evacuated their intrenched camp, leaving behind 30 cat- <f cartridges and many rifles. The Turks, he . , : \ iu.vc retaken Ve il tzko, which tHe Greeks surprised and captured on the first day of frontier aggression. The Turkish commander at Janina announces that the Greek fleet which lias been bombarding Prevesa has been compelled to retire, one division with drawing to the interior of the gulf and the larger ironclads outside sailing for the islands of Paxo and Hanta Maura. Ftllieiii l'iihlm'H Advance on Larissa. London, April 21. —It is evident from the most trustworthy advices received | here that the Turks have forced the principal door of Thessaly and entered ! the broad plains, where they have the advantage of numbers against the j Greeks. Dispatches received at the foreign of- ' flee confirm the advices received by the Turkish embassador from Constanti nople that the Turks were victorious in lighting and have captured the outlying defenses of Tyrnavo. This place is the only obstacle in the way of the advance of the Turkish army to Larissa, the headquarters of Crown Prince Constan tin. which is not strongly fortified, if indeed it is fortified at all. If Larissa ' is taken by the Turks, the whole scheme <f the Greek frontier defense of Tlies- j saly will collapse and only a pitched : battle on the plains of Thessaly will be j left to the Greeks. Talk With Prince** Sophia, London, April 21.—The Athens corre- ; i spondent of The Daily Chronicle tele- j graphs that he hap had an interview with Crown Princess Sophia, who re turned last night from Larissa. She says she found that there had been much improvement in the hospitals there since her previous visit to the plate. She also says that while she was in the hospital she heard wounded Greeks tell how the Turks treated the wounded who fell into their hands. They built fires around some of them and roasted them to death and inflicted horrible tortures upon others of their prisoners before dispatching them. Greek* Lacked Artillery at the Pa**. London. April 21. —The latest details | as to the fighting at Milouna pass make it evident that the Greeks suffered se verely because of their lack of artillery. ; Several of the war correspondents aver that if the Greeks had possessed any thing like adequate artillery, the Turks would never have captured the posi tions so obstinately held by the Greeks. The Turks have clearly much to lie thankful for in the years of organiza tion f their artillery by German offi cers. IliiHftiu Warns the Powers. London, April 21.—A telegram to The ; Times from St. Petersburg says that Count Muravieff, the Russian foreign minister, lias dispatched a circular note to the powers advising them to observe, an expectant attitude in ease either Turkey or Greece should request inter vention. The correspondent understands ; that all the powers have agreed to con tinue to hold Crete with the forces al ready there. Garibaldi Summoned to Athens. Rome. April 21. —Garibaldi, son of the Italian liberator, has received a dis patch inviting him to immediately pro ! ceed to Athens. He has been awaiting j the receipt of such an invitation and will at once start for the Greek capital, taking with him a number of Italian volunteers who are anxious to serve the ! cause of Greece under his command. ' CAPTURE OF KELLEY. MURDERER OF STICKNEY CAUGHT IN MONTREAL. Tie Confesses That He Looted the Great Falls Hank and Killed the Cashier. He Had Mo Accomplices—Tells His Story of the Crime. Somersworth, N. 11., April 17.—While resisting the entry of two desperate and determined robbers, and during a heroic but futile struggle t<> protect $150,000 or more in money and securi ties which were in the compartments of the open vault of the Great Falls National bank of Somersworth, Cashier Joseph A. Stickney was struck down and brutally murdered near the desk which he had occupied for years. Aft er killing Stickney, the murderers ran sacked the vault at will, no one being near to molest them, and lied with all j the cash it contained, with the exeep | Hon of a $0 gold piece. As near as can : be estimated without making a system atic examination of the bank's books, i about $6,000 was taken, but it is quite possible that the loss will considerably | exceed this sum. as no one but the dead ; cashier knew the exact amount that was in the institution at the time. The robbers, after knocking % ickney down with a black jack, cut his throat. The most remarkable feature of the rob bery is the fact that SIOO,OOO in bonds of the United Stutes, which were kept in one of the drawers of the big vault and which the robbers evidently ex amined hastily, were not taken, nei ther were any of the negotiable paper and securities of the bank—in fact, nothing is missing except the cash. Kelley Tell* Hi* Story. Montreal, April 21. —It is now quite dear that Joseph Kelley was romanc ing in what he told the detectives here when lie was arrested. Chief Detective Carpenter called Kelley into his oflice, and alter some conversation he frank ly confessed that all he had said the night before was false. He owned, without being pressed, that he alone, without the aid of an accomplice, killed Mr. Stickney. He said that he had been planning the robbery for some time past. On the Thursday previous to the murder he went to the bank to carry out his plans, but was prevented by the presence of a lady. On Friday he wrapped up an old overcoat in paper with the intention of asking Stickney to have the parcel put in the bank's vaults. When he reached the bank, Kelley tried to open the screened door and was met by the cashier, who asked him what he wanted. His reply was to force open the door, and Stickney called for help. Kelley hit him on tlie head with a Jimmy, knock ing him insensible. "Then," he calm ly proceeded, "I drew a razor and cut Mr. Stickney's throat." He proceeded to ransack the safe, oblivious of the horror on the floor, putting all the money he could find into a pillow ease he had brought with him. He carried the spoils to an orchard, where he hid them, returning unconcernedly to His hoarding house to partake of dinner. He paid his landlady S2O out of $lO he owed her. After dinner he placed the pillow ease containing the money into a dress suit case and drove to Milton. He threw the razor away in the or | chard. He hitched His horse outside the village and took the train for San bornville. Felt a Trifle Sorry. At Sanbornville he says lie got off and took another train for Cookshire Junc tion. Quebec, coming into Montreal Junction on the Halifax express. "Aft er I saw* .Stickney dead," he broke in here. "I felt sorry, but an hour after I did not feel nervous about it." Near Cookshire he sorted over his money, placing the gold in a separate pocket from the paper. The silver he left in the dressing case. By the de scription given by Kelley Mr. Carpenter > concluded he had hidden the dross suit case at Vaudreuil or St. Polyearpo Junction and at once hurried Kelley aboard the early train at 8:50. He was j not sure of Vaudreuil, but quickly rec ognized St. Polycarpe. After walking along the Canadian Pacific tracks for a distance of about 500 yards a bag con taining SBIO was found in a covered ■ culvert, where Kelley had thrown it on Saturday. The dress suit c ase was found in the middle of a plowed field about 150 yards | from the railway tracks. Kelley stated that after leaving St. Polycarpe he had : walked to St. Justine de Newton i through a pouring rain, and after hav ing drinks in a saloon he proceeded to Berards* hotel, where he remained un til the Canadian Pacific express came along, boarding it for Montreal. , He claimed that he bought the wo- j man's garb he wore when he reached Montreal from a woman in St. Justin for sls. There is still some SSOO unac ' counted for. Kelley stated that |he felt < relieved after having made his confes | sion. Women Mln a ('cringe. Watertown. N. Y.. April 17. Mary Daly, aged 30, and Mrs. Mary C. Crouch, aged 32 year", were murdered at Sack et Harbor, this county, and George F. Allen, a private in Company F, Ninth ' United States infantry, stationed at Madison barracks, is so badly wounded that he may die. Wilbur Crouch, the divorced husband of one of tin* dead women, is charged by ! Allen, in his antemortem statement, with being his assailant and the mur derer of the two women. Allen and the two women were out riding in a carriage, and according to Allen's statement Crouch mot them at a secluded place in tlie roadway, firing ' repeatedly at them with a revolver and killing both women almost instantly, j On that statement Crouch was arrest i ed and is now in the Watertown jail awaiting further developments. Though the district attorney of Jefferson county , has worked industriously on the case, he has nothing more than Allen's stale i ment to fix the terrible crime. Wilbur Crouch, the accused man, denies ail : knowledge of it. Death of llllly Birch. New York. April 21.—Billy Birch, the old time minstrel, died in his home, 76 Seventh avenue, at 2:15 o'clock.

Tin* Senate Contimi?M Its Talking Session, Waiting For Tariff Keport. Washington, April 15. —President Mc- Kinley yesterday sent a message to congress urging it to take speedy ac tion to provide for adequate represen tation of the United States at the Paris international exposition of 1900. A tariff vote in the United States sen : ate showed the Republican strength to be 24 against 23 on a motion to refer Mr. Vest's resolution declaring illegal Sec retary Gage's recent order to customs officers in accordance with the retroact ive clause of the Dingley bill. Mr. Mantle voted with the Republicans and Mr. Chandler with the Democrats. In the house Mr. Armond of Missouri appeared as leader of the Democrats and Populists who are opposed to the policy of Mr. Bailey. No business was transacted. Washington, April 16.—The senate spent its time yesterday on the Indian appropriation bill, but did not complete it. The debate brought/ out an ener getic speech by Mr. Vest of Missouri, protesting against the abandonment of sectarian Indian schools. He highly eulogized the work of the Jesuits among the Indians and said their Indian schools were the only ones accomplish ing any good. After a contest the com mittee amendment opening the Uncom pahgre Indian reservation in Utah to public entry was agreed to. The reser vation is said to contain some of the richest deposits of asphalt in existence. The senate adjourned over to Monday. Washington, April 20.—The senate has passed the Indian appropriation bill. It is substantially the same as it passed the house and can occasion lit tle division save on the amendment opening the Uncompahgre Indian res ervation. Resolutions of inquiry were agreed to asking the secretary of state as to the operation of the reciprocity treat ies made under the McKinley act. Mr. Vest introduced his resolution declaring illegal the recent order of the secretary of the treasury relative to imports arriving after April 1. The senate in executive session agreed on May 5 at 4 o'clock as the time for taking the vote on the arbi tration treaty. Washington. April 21. —Senator Mor gan's resolution declaring that a state of war exists in Cuba was discussed briefly in the senate and then went over for a week owing to the absence of Senator Hale of Maine, who has been uctive in opposition. Mr. Morgan again urged the need of speedy action by this country to stay the devastation going on in Cuba. The agricultural appropriation bill was passed without amendment. The bank ruptcy bill was considered, Senators Nelson of Minnesota. Lindsay of Ken tucky, Allen of Nebraska and Hoar of Massachusetts participating in the de bate. Mr. Morgan gave notice that he would move to lay on the table the Nelson substitute bill for the purpose of se curing a test vote. HADLEY UNDER ARREST. The Head of the Bennett and Columbia Mills Charged With Perjury. New Bedford, Mass., April 21. —Frank B. Hadley, formerly president and I treasurer of the Bennett and Columbia mills of this city, has been arrested, charged with perjury in falsifying the ! returns of the Bennett mills to the sec- j rotary of state. Inspector Hathaway, who served the warrant, found Had- ! ley sick in bed, suffering from nervous ; prostration, the result of the disclosures relative to the condition of the mills. , A. J. Self ridge of Boston, Iladley's counsel, was present at the time the warrant was served, and he explained the nature of the document to Hadley. The latter appeared to be In a semi dazed condition, and although he ap parently understood the warrant, he paid little attention to it. Dr. William E. Brownell, Hadley's at tending physician, and Dr. C. D. Pres cott, who was called in, both pro nounced Hadley's condition such that he could not be removed to the police station with safety, and consequently he will be kept a prisoner in his own house until lie Is able to appear In the Third district court for arraignment, two policemen being placed on guard meanwhile. HIGH HATS ATTACKED. Bill to Regulate the Size f Head Cover ing Pinned by the Ansemhly. Albany, April 20.—The crusade against the wearing of high hats in the thea ters received a partial victory last night by the passage in the assembly i of the measure introduced by Mr. Kos- . tor to regulate the size of headgear In places of amusement. The bill was a spec ial order in the house on the calen dars of second and third reading. Mr. Greene of New York moved to strike out the enacting clause. He said that while the principle of the bill was good, its wording was bad, and that the provisions could never be enforced, be cause It would be impossible to learn the names of the offenders so that ac tion could be begun against thefn. The motion was voted down by a viva voce ! vote. Mr. Mazet of New York moved to amend by inserting "puffed sleeves." The amendment was lost, and the bill advanced to a third reading. Then a final vote on its passage was taken and It was passed—Bl to 47. General Markets. NEW YOUK, April 20.

J DECISION FOR THE GOVERNMENT IN THE HAT TRIMMING CASE. nutorjr or the Litigation Which Has Oo copied the Courts For a Long Time. Millions of Dollars Were Involved —It Was a Test Case. Philadelphia, Ajnil 21. —The famous hat trimmings case, which indirectly involves between $20,000,000 and $25,- I 000,000 and which has been postponed from time to time for the past three years, has finally been decided in fa vor of the government by a jury in the United States circuit court. The suit was brought as a test case 1 by Meyer & Dickinson, big importers i of this city, who sought to recover from the United States government a differ ence of 30 per cent in customs duties. The firm's contention was that the im portations in question consisted solely ! ! of hat trimmings, on which the duty under the McKinley tariff act was only 20 per cent, but the federal officials in their argument maintained that the merchandise was used chiefly for dresses j and dress trimmings and that the duty of 50 per cent levied by the government was proper. Meyer & Dickinson were nominally the plaintiffs, hut there were hundreds of big importing firms throughout the country who were in terested in the outcome of the suit and who were instrumental in procuring the best obtainable counsel. Jury Out but Two Hours. The trial of the present case began on April 5, ex-United States District Attorney Ingham being assisted by I Dwight M. Lowrey of this city and I Assistant Attorney General E. B. Whit ney of Washington in the defense. The jury, after two hours' deliberation, ren dered a verdict for the government. Judge Dallas in his charge to the jury said that if the articles with which this controversy is concerned were used for making or ornamenting hats, bon nets and hoods, then the verdict should be for the plaintiffs; but if the jury find that none of these articles was trimmings, the verdict should be for the defendant. ! Ex-United States District Attorney Ingham stated after the decision had been rendered that more than 1,000 im porting firms were indirectly interested in the suit and that between $20,000,000 and $25,000,000 was involved. This, he said, was irrespective of the j Immense amount of money which would i necessarily have been required to de- \ fend the suits. Found Guilty or Murder. Brooklyn, April 15. —Hadley A. Suth erland, colored. 20 years old, has been convicted of murder in the first degree. ( On March 22 last Sutherland shot and killed his mistress. Sarah Wrenn, in their home at 98 Gwinnett street after quarreling with her. In all five shots : ■ were fired. On examination Sutherland ! j admitted the shooting, but denied that ! he Intended to kill the woman. When | the verdict was announced by the fore- j man of the jury, the prisoner showed j no traces of fear. He was taken back to jail and will be sentenced on Mon- ! ■ day. Tax ltate of New York State. Albany, April 21.—The senate finance ; committee has reported out the supply bill, which calls for a total appropria tion of $1,678,120.72, which Is $26,345.66 more than the supply bill of last year. There is an item in this year's supply bill for SIOO,OOO to pay liquor tax rebates which was not in the bill last year. It is believed that the tax rate for this year will not exceed 2.58, as compared with 2.69 last year. It may even fall ! | to 2.55, the lowest In three years. King Hill HonHe Humeri. j ; Boston, April 21.—The King Hill I ; House, at South Braintree, Mass.. a t'a i mous resort on the shore of Braintree ! Great pond, was totally destroyed by j fire, and four persons who were sleep j ing on the third floor narrowly escaped | being burned to death. The loss is es | timated by its owner, Hiram A. French, at about $5,000. It was insured for about half that sum. Hail For Fishermen. Middletown, N. Y., April 16.—Heavy rains In this vicinity have raised the trout streams, greatly to the disap pointment of several hundred fishermen from New York en route to Sullivan county. The water is muddy. The cold wave brought out overcoats at the re sorts. Big fireplaces will be more at tractive than wading through the streams. Gentry Gets Life. Harrisburg, April 21.—The board of pardons has recommended commuta tion of the death sentence imposed upon James B. Gentry for the murder of Actress Madge Yorke to imprisonment for life. Governor Hastings approved the recommendation. Gentry was to have been hanged next Thursday. KUlml by a Snow slide. Brlgham City, Utah. April 21.—A snowslide occurred at the mines of the Consolidated company, four miles north of Brlgham City, resulting in the death f Fred Woolhaupter; Ed Maw and Wil liam Turner.
