Creeks Resist Desperate Attacks of tlic Turkish Troops. New York, April 20. No more en gagements between the Turkish anil Greek forces arc reported this evening, but further news of tho retreat from Larlssa shows that It was a disastrous rout. Kdheni Pasha, on the field, the Greeks had abandoned, declared "It is finished." Large quantities of military stores were captured by the Turks. In anticipation of their failure to resist the Tur'..' advance nt liiarsalos, It is rept .it that tho Greeks propose to ma':c n last stand at classic Thermopy lae. The bombardment of Salonica by the eastern Greek licet is said to be imminent, while Edhcm l'asha is ex pected to attack Volo, now crowded with Greek refugees. In the west, the Inhabitants of Janlna are alarmed at the near prospect of the Greeks' ad vance, and a force has been sent to check the Insurgent Albanians. In Athens the excitement Is high, and there arc rumors of an impending Cab lent crisis. BATTLE AT LARISSA. The Greeks Rciist four Desperate Attnc s of tho Turks. (Copyrighted, 157. by the Associated P:css.) Headquarters of tho Greek" Army, Larlssa. April 25. Night. (Delayed transmission). The development of ,the Greek position In front of Tyrnavo continues. Colonel Audononltz, with a brigade of the second division nr rived from the west yesterday evening and took up a position south of Delller with the right wing, which is now 8,000 strong and commanded by General Mavromlchnells. The left wing is un der the command of General Mastro pas and is composed of C.000 Infantry and six batteries of artillery, thlrty Klx guns. It occupies a position from the Mali road to Delllo. On the ex treme right Is the cavalry brigade, composed of six squadrons. The plan of the Greek commander Is evidently not to press uttacks until reinforce ments arrive from Athens. The Turks have not less than 9,000 infantry, three squadrons of cavalry and twenty-two guns. During Thursday night, a battalion of Kvzones was entrenched on a hill in the center of the Greek position and the whole of the Greek line has been advanced. The Foreign Legion was held in reserve. From dawn until 10 o'clock a fierce artillery battle raged and then a bat talion of Greek Infantry and a moun tain battery opened from the left of Matl on the Turkish lines along the ridge above Matl and the mouth of the pass. The Turks retired under a gall--ing lire- nnd for a time tho Turkish ar tillery poured In Schrnpnell shells, but they were harmless, bursting too high, At mid-day firing eased until 1 o'clock when the Turks made a furious assault upon the Greeks with three battalions of Infantry, supported by twe batetrles of artillery pushing for ward from Gritzovali toward Kutavl, Mlilcr1 Mas held by Mavromichaells' infantry nnd the mountain batteries. Tr- latter poured n hot lire on the ad vancing Turks, while both attacking and defending Infantry engaged rapid llrlng. Then the Turks ngaln tried Schrapnell, but without avail. Rein forcements soon came to tho aid of tho Greeks and the engagement was con tinued until nightfall, the Greeks stub bornly contesting tho Turkish ndnnee, though the Turks succeeded In gain ing two kilometres during the course of the day. Although four despernte attacks were made upon the Greek left by the Turk ish batteries, the Greek cannon thun dered fast and furious while the Greek infantry, extended on the mountain side, poured rapid volleys Into the Turkish lines, repelled each advance, and at nightfall tho Greek left had gained ground. ALARM IN JANINA. Consuls Barricade Their Homos. Repressing Albanian Revolt. Constantinople, April 25 (Delayed In transmission). Tho news sent from Ja nlna, Eplrus, by tho foreign consuls shows tho situation there to be lire carious. The consuls have barricaded their residences and troops have been dispatched from Monastlr against the mutinous Albanians. Athens, April 26. The spirits of the Athenians are rallying from the shock they experienced on receipt of the news of tho retreat of the Greek army from Larlssa to Phnrsala and the talk of persevering with tho war Is more gen eral. The newspaper comments are as a rule moro hopeful and people are be ginning to recognize that thu situation is not as critical as at first supposed, A detachment of 250 Garlbaldlans has left this city for J.plrus; but Riccottl Garibaldi remains hero to organize the Italian volunteers Mho nro constantly arriving.

Tlic Turk Arc Currying on Wnr In n Civilized .11 a n n or. Athens, April 26. Tho correspondent of the Associated Press has Just re ceived from a colleague Mho Is with the Turkish army near Tyravo the sub stance of nn interview which the latter iiad with Edbctii l'asha, in confirma tion of tho report of the panicky re treat of the Greeks. iKdheni l'asha laughingly said: "I am really grateful to the Greek' com mander for giving me these agreeable quarters. The Greek ret rent was a general rout. Thy left everything be hind, Including Immense quantities of artillery and munitions of war, which wo will be able to make use of. It they had not heard tho Albanians sing ing en their night march wo would have been upon them In nn hour." The panic appeals to have spread to the very centre of the Greek camp. When day light appeared not a Greek was visible. Tho Greek position on Mcunt Shuhana, commanding th'o mouth of the pass, alone was defend ed; but the resistance there was fee ble, as the occui ants already knew that the army hud fled. About one hundred prisoners were taken by the Turks. The Associated Press corres pondent saw a Greek taken, trembling and scarcely able to stand before a Turkish officer whom he begged not to kill him. The otlicer replied "We do not kill prisoners of war." To which tho Greek answered "Our soldiers be lieve that the Turks cut their prisoners to pieces." AVhen assured that his life was per fectly safe, he thanked the officer with pitiful effusiveness. The latter gave him coffee and cigarettes and sent him to get food. PANIC IN OTTUMWA.

"Washington, April 2(5. Tho revision of the Dlngley tariff bill by the finance committee of the senate has been com pleted, nnd preparations nre being made today to submit the measure to tlic full committee today or tomorrow. Senator Aldrlch, of Hhode Island, chairman of the finance committee, has been engaged slhce Saturday in writing the committee's report, which Mill ac company tho relntroductlon of the bill Into the senate, and this will be com pleted before the Democratic members have finished their examination of the various schedules. The ofllclal pro gramme as at present arranged pro vides for the Informal submission of the tariff bill to the Democratic mem bers, so that they may have the priv ilege of examining It during the first part of this week, while the senate as a whole has suspended work for the Grant memorial ceremonies In New York, for formal consideration of It In full meeting of the committee for two or three days at the end of the week, and for ,tlie final reporting of the bill to the senate on Monday or Tuesday, the third or fourth of May. FINAL- CHANGES. Tho last really hard M-ork in perfect ing the various schedules of the tariff bill M-as done on Friday last. Satur day was a busy day with the sub-com-mlttce. but the time M-as mostly taken up with the adjusting of minor mat ters, Miilch had been overlooked or held in tentative decision. The last hope of securing material amendments to the bill further thnn those which have been already made, may now be considered ns lost, although scores of persons representing the M-ool Interests, the hides and lead ore Interests and many other industries great and small are still In Washington. No further details of the tariff bill ns It appears since tho finance committee began Its revision can bo given than have been described to some extent in previous dispatches. In general it may be said that the number of amendments has been very great, but that the rad ical changes affecting the principal schedules of the bill .have been very few Indeed. The amendments offered by the finance committee Mill probably be found to number not less than 1,000. The Democratic members of the finance committee are expected to do hard work on the bill during tho week, but an effort Mill be made by the Re publicans to prevent an extended con sideration by the whole committee in formal session. There is the best of hope that It will be reported to the senate early next week, and that tho debate on it will begin not later than Tuesday, May 4. CUBAN EXPEDITION.

BETTER TIMES ARE NOW COMING Senator Ctillom's View of tlic Business Situation. WE MUST NOT BE IMPATIENT The iVctV Tariff Legislation .Must lie Given Reasonable Time to I'lfcct the Chnngc--l'iishilig in Foreign Goods. Washington, April 26. "Can It bo possible," paid Senator Culloni, "that the people of this country understand so little of the possibilities of legisla tive and olllclnl nctloti ns to suppose that prosperity could have made Itself apparent In tho few M-eoks since the president nnd the congress which they elected last November M-ere given op portunity to begin the M-ork assigned to them?" The senator's remark M-as the result of the statement published In a news paper before him Indicating that, there M-ns a disposition In certain quarters to complain that the promised business revival had not already made its ap pearance. "I cannot think it true," he contin ued, "that the people as a class have any such thought. It is to be expected, of course, that those who are opposed to the Republican party politically, es pecially those who are Milling to make any sort of trouble for political effect M-cuId put afloat and encourage sug gestions of this sort. But I cannot be lieve that the thinking people, who know that It Is Impossible to enact a tariff law In a single month or even In two or three months, are making the complaint M-hlch tho newspapers and politicians are charging them with." "You do not think It reasonable, then, to expect prosperity and business activity until some legislation Is had?" "Not to any considerable degree. Of course, the result of tho election last fall showed the country thnt the sta bility of our currency system is not to bo destroyed. But the same vote which gave confidence to the business public as regards further destruction of our business Interests showed them that a restoration of tho prosperity which ex isted under the piotectivc tariff could not bo accomplished without legisla tion." MUST BE GIVEN A CHANCE. "By the term legislation you refer, of course, to the tariff bill?" "Yes. That Is at least tHo first step In legislation promised, and the first step necessary to restore business act ivity." "The mere promise that such legisla tion Is to bo had you do not consider sufficient to start the factories, then?" "No. On the contrary, In many cases the knowledge that such legisla tion Is to be had reduces the amount of M-ork they are able to" perform, until tho proposed laM' Is actually upon the statute books. In not a few cases the effect will be felt still longer, for M-herever an Importer sees that rates of duty are liable to be Increased on a given class of articles he Is rushing those articles Into the country in enor mous quantities. The result is that the manufacturers are not only unable to determine what they can do In prices nntll they know what the new tariff law Is actually to bo when It Is placed upon the statute books, but they also know thnt the country Is being flooded M-lth nn unusual quantity of goods at the lOM-er rates. "The result, then, upon the manufac turer must be to reduce his business activity rather than to Increase It for the present?" "Certainly. This has always been the effect to a greater or less extent of tar iff legislation. Everybody familiar M-lth the history of our former tariff bills will remember thnt tho mere fact that changes wero about to be made in the tariff law was of Itself sufficient to compel the temporary suspension of manufacturing, or at least to so dis arrange prices and the possibility of making contracts that business was to a great extent suspended among that class of our citizens. This Is especially truo when a tariff is to be changed from a lower to a higher rate, for not only Is there uncertainty on the part of the manufacturer as to what his prices must bo In tho future, but there Is a certainty In his mind that the country Is being filled with cheap goods at the old tariff rates, M-hlch will be peddled out In competition M-lth him for manv months. FOREIGN GOODS. "It Is a fact, then, Is It, that very large quantities of foielgn goods are now being brought In and are likely to continue to compete with our own manufecturers for many months yet?" "Certainly. Any one M-ho will take the trouble to examine the customs col lections now being made at New York and other ports will see that at a glance. From the day congress met and began consideration of the tariff bill the receipts from customs Increased enormously, doubled and sometimes trebled. This means that the quantity of dutiable goods being brought in now and for many M-eeks past Is more than double the ordinary importations for tho same length of time. In addi tion to this, enormous quantities of goods transferred to the dutiable list, are being brought in, but not Indicated In the Increase In custom receipts. So M'hen you take these facts Into consid eration, any one of us can. with a mo ment's thought, see that the manufac turers cannot make contracts or go on M-lth their manufacturing enterprises until they know M'hat the new law Is to be, and that, even M'hen they do know this, they will be hampered for many months by the enormous quan tities of foreign goods which tho Im porters of the country and the manu facturers and dealers nbroad have forced Into tho United States, filling tho bonded M-arehouses and causing tho opening of new ones In every direc tion. "A little patlenco and the promised prosperity Mill come. I feel confident, absolutely confident, that a season of prosperity Is In store for the people of this country. But they must not ex pect It until the new tariff bill has be come a law, and business has adjusted Itself to It." Scnutor IMatt'p Wife Very III.
