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.

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. Colonel Mnnos, the com
mander of tho Greek troons oneratlnir

Ing to leave Arta and resume the march
upon Janlna.
DO NOT KILL PRISONERS.
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.
Fear of the Levee Breaking and Rail
roads StoppedC, B. and Q.'s
Main Line Is Cut Off.
Ottumwa, In., April 20. Tho river
rose one foot during the night, and Is
now higher than It has been since 1870.
The damage Is tremendous. The Bur
llngton road, which has been kept open
with mighty effort, gave up at 11 o'clock
last night. The main line communica
tion, Chicago to Denver, Is now cut
off. Of six railroads here, the only
trains moving nre the Wabash, from
tho south, and the Milwaukee, north.
All the Burlington, Hock Island and
Central, and all me Milwaukee and
Wabash traffic south, is stopped entire,
ly. Kven the right of way fences, In
many cases, are out of sight on tho
Rock Island and Burlington roads for
miles. It Is believed the tracks have
been washed entirely away. Even
when the water recedes, It will take
days to re-establish communication.
All nearby towns report a condition
equally bad. No branches are operat
ing at all. The water Is flowing across
the business portion of South Ottumwa.
The population Is In a panic. Hun
dreds of men nro working In the levee
In the west end of the city. If the
levee breaks, the water will come down
some main business and residence
streets In torrents. The situation Is
precarious.
TRAGIC END OF A QUARREL.

Syracuse, April 2G. A tragic end to
a family quarrel occurred at the home
of Henry Iiurda, in Isabella street,
last night. Burda, who Is CO years old,

When Mrs. Iiurda, who several years
ago suffered a stroke of paralysis, saw
her husband fall by their son's cruel
blow, she dropped like a log. Their
younger son, Charles, rushed to his
mother's aid, nnd, with his father,
who struggled to his feet, laid her on
a bed. She M-ns quite dead, having ex
pired Instantly from rupture of the
heart. Mr. Burda and his son Henry
sat down and gazed at each other In
silence for several moments. Then
both burst Into tears. The son arose,
put on his coat and hat nnd left the
house. He has not been heard from
since..

mittee. "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.

rifles. 120,000 rounds of ammunition,
2,000 mnchettes, a lot of medicine and
what is known as an experimental Hy
ing machine, to be adopted, If pospible

the doctor laid bare the heart and
found that there was a wound on the
right side of tho organ. He sewed up
the orifice made by the stnbber and

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."
