Athens, Mny 9 The correspondent ot the Associated Pi ess leutns on the ery bet authority that Gieece has made a written application to the powers thiough tholr lepresentutlvts at Athens with a lcw of obtaining mediation. All the representatives have ptomlsed in.i their replies to use theli best olllces except the Gennnn minister, who has inerelj ni know lodged the receipt of the note ftom the cabinet. The porte Is Inclined to suppoit the powers, with a iew to the facilitation of negotiations, but it declines to ion sent to an nnnlstlcp, on the ground that this would enable Gieece to leor ganize her forces. As n mnter of fact, Turkey continues to send tioops from Salonicn home vvnid, and it Is probable that Ostium Pasha has returned to Constantinople fiom Salonlcu. In view of both facts it may be assumed that nothing seri ous is expected, but the continuance of a state of war Is xegarded as the very best means of hastening the effoits of diplomacy. Without doubt hopes have been raised in Tuikey that the Otto man government might annex Thessaly and lestore the nld frontier of 1SS1, but the sultan Is not Inclined to risk such a step. On the contraiy, ho opposes it uncompromisingly and will not yield to the ptessure of the war party at Constantinople. He will be satisfied with a reasonable Indemnity nnd a Blight rectification of the eastern Thes sali in frontier, such a one as would givi Turkey several strategic positions in the Iclnlty of Nezeros.

The telegtaph is tlll wot king to Do mokos and the latest dispatch from that point savs that the Turks are half waj between Phai solos and Domokos and are believed to be planning an at tack upon the latter.

IMIicnt 1'iihliii Promises to Protect tho Inhabitants Who Remain. Volo, May 9 Tho correspondent of the Associated Press describing the entry of the Turkish troops, says: "Edhem Pasha sent a Hag of truce with a proclamation that ho would luotect all Inhabitants remaining In the town. A touching scene ensued. In the principal street an immense crowd gathered with anxious upturned faces, lictenlng eagerly to tho reading of the luochimatlon on which was to decide theli fate. When tho leading wos finished a rnuimur of Intense re lief wus heaid thinughout the donsc throng, quickly followed by fi untie shouts of "Long live the sultan." liut theio still remained cause for the most scilous anxiety, for thj ques tion was then, whether the Greek ad n.lrnl, whose ships were lying off the town and In plain sight, would ne cept IMhcm Pasha's terms. A single gun shot from tho fleet would have compiled the Turks to treat Volo as hostile. Three newspaper men, myself among them, were uppolntedudeputatlontogo on board the flagship and get the ad nilral" reply. We bore a white flag. At the quay, however, wo met tho captains of iho foreign warships with a wutten communication from tho ad miral eaylng that he intended to re main In front of the town until ns- sured that It would bo occupied aulet- iy. To this, the Turkish commander te plled that only ono bnttallon would inter, the main army going Into camp outside, and he again requested that the Greek licet be withdrawn, as oth erwise he could not bo responsible for whnt might occur." London, May 9. A despatch to the Dally Mall from Volo says that as the result of tho proclamation of ISdhem Pashn, promising to protect the Inhab itants and to use only one battalion ns the occupying force, on condition that the Greek lleet 'be withdrawn, tho Greek admiral has boon ordered to leao forthwith. Volo has been occu pied by a Turkish force of 0,000. PRONOUNCED IT BETRAYAL. Crown Prince Constantino's Hetrcnt Is Looked I'pon with Suspicion. Velcstlno, May 9. When the troops hero heaid of the tetient from Pharsa lo.s they pronounced It a betrayal. Cer tainly It Is unfortunate that Crown Prince Constantino should a second' time bo obliged to begin a retreat. The Athens conospondent of the Times says: "So great Is the change In public sentiment that no opposition whateer Is provoked against the decision to re call the army from Crete. King George, who Is belleed to be unap proachable on this subject, has yielded with good grace. "The Journal Akropolls publishes some startling reflations. It sent a corespondent to Pharsalos to Investi gate the cause of the retieat from La rlssa and ho was allowed to question the members of the dismissed staff Without exception they denied that they had i of used to catrv out the or ders of the cabinet, save on ono occas ion, when the government wished to lemovo some supetlor ollleers from their commands On all other occas ions the staff was In complete haimony with the cnblnet. The ministers had Indeed ordered the army to remain on the defensie but the staff considered that a defensive position would be most effectually secured by advancing to certain points. The ollleers positive ly denied giving the order for the gen eial letteat from Matl and declared that they were not responsible for the nbottlve attack on Menoxe They ex plained that the retreat bogalu with wholesale deseitlons from the division of Colonel MavromlehalK llring the Tuiklsh position nt Derell. Then tho panic spread, the stnff was powerless to check It and a reotganlzatlon to de fend Larlssa was Impossible. M Halll came to headquarters during the day and begged the staff to save tho nrmy." With reference to the letreat In Kpltus the papers print the following extraordinary telegram from Colonel Dotzarl" It Is a dlsgiaceful slander to say that I ordered the letreat. My brigade has advanced victoriously to the gates of Janina. Why it retreated Is a ques tion for a court-martial to decide; anti the gulltv parties should be punished with death." MADE A BISHOP.

Washington, May 9. There Is no cer tainty ns to the line of proceeding In the senate during the present week. The Morgan Cuban lesolutlon prob ably will be taken up Monday, nnd It may lead to a prolonged nnd spirited debate. Senator Morgan Is quite de termined to press the resolution to an Issue and Senator Hale Just as de termined to prevent Its passage. Mr. Hale ultlmutcl will move to refer the lesolutlon to the committee on foieign lelatlons nnd an effort will be made to enlist the friends of the administra tion against It. The committees will be tilled Monday or Tuesday, but as this will be done on the basis hereto fore agreed upon there will be no fric tion over tho proceeding. The confer ence leport on the Indlnn appropria tion bill mny cause some debate but the probabilities a.e that tho agree ment of the conferences will bo gener ally acquiesced In. The hcuse programme of three day adjournment will be suspended this week. The sundry civil appropriation bill has passed the senate, and now re turns to the house for action on the amendments. The piogramme pursued when the Indian bill came back to the house piolnbly will be followed In the case of the sundry civil. That Is the nmerdmentrt will be considered in the house bffoie the bill Is sent to confer ence Thete Is a good deal ot bitter feeing among the house factions, which may break out ns soon ns op pot tunlty for debate Is given nnd some very lively oratorical displays are ex pected. The conference report on tho Indian appropriation bill also will be ready for consideration befote the week closes. The questions Involved In the opening of the Uncompaghre reservation In Utah will, of couise, furnish the main source of contention In the debate on this reoort.

While Mr. nnd Mrs. Tucker Were rolling Tholr Homo Hiirncd. Columbia, S, C May 9, Laurens Tucker and his wife, whose home 1b in tho countryf Jn LaurenB county, went fishing last night on tho Enoneo river. Not wishing their four children to ac company them, they left them In tho house. During their absence tho building caught fire In some manner nnd the un fortunato children, all ot whom were under 10 years of age, were burned to death. Tucker Is a small farmer and his house was near tho banks of tho liver and isolated. He nnd his wife know nothing of the calamity until thoy re turned fiom their fishing, and then, nlthough they found the smoking lulim of their home, the Idea, that their chil dren had all perished did not occur to them. They supposed tho little ones hnd gotten out nnd gone to tho house of a neighbor, a half mllo distant. When this proved not to have been tho case search in the nshes disclosed the bones of the Infants. Mother and father cannot account for the lire. They left homo at 1 o'clock and there were but n few coals in the fireplace. The youngest children were nsleep, and the eldest, a girl, was left In charge. The door was latched, not loeked, and the children could havu escaped It they had a moment's warning. Tho Idea cf Incendiary would be entertained It they had any known enemies. SHIP ON FIRE AT SEA. In Order to Save the Cargo the Ship Is Beached at Long Branch-'Crew in Great Danger. Reach Haven, N. J., Mny 9. The Flilp Francis, of New Iledfoid, Mass., under commnnd of Captain A. F. Smith, and with a crow of twenty-five men, which left San Francisco on tho 17tn of Jnnuniy last with a general cargo bound for New York, took fire at sea esterday, and to save the lives of those on board, and the ship and cargo, It possible, she was beached on the iiith end of Long Branch, six miles below her" at 9 o'clock last night. The cr.ptnln and crew leached shore safely, however, taken care of by the crew of the Little Hgg Harboi Life Saving station. The vessel was burned to the waters, and with the cargo will prove a total loss. The fire was first dlscoveied about I o'clock In the afternoon, and was burning fiercely In the hold. All hands were ordered on declc and manned to extinguish the Homes, but they had gained too much headway, and It was as mucn as the men could do to pre vent the lire from spieadlng so lap Idly as to necessitate their taking to the boats on the open sea. The cap tain saw that his only hope lay in reaching .shore, where he could pos blbly luivo n chance of sav lug the ship nnd part of the eaigo. With this In view he headed the Fianels towards the beach, and all tho while the ciew Kept pouilng water Into the hold. It wus well after dark and the nosltlon of tho men on board was peillous In the e.Mreme. With her bow pointed well on the shore tho ship struck hard and fi st. Meanwhile tho flro was laglng even more furiously than before and all hands were forced to leave with noth ing but the clothes on their backs. They vvere assisted In reaching shore by the life guards and vvere supplied with needed clothing and nourishment. Today the tugs I. J. Menltt and North America arrived and endeavoiod to put out the lire which was still burning. They were unable to accomplish any thing and finally gave up. The cap tain and mate left on one of the tugs for New York nnd the crew will go by train on Tuesday. What lenders the nccldcnt still more unfoitunate Is the fact that Captain Smith's wife died at sea on the out ward trip of the ship. He had the body embalmed and sent home by train. It awaits his arrival In Hoston. Tire rianels Is a fpll tigged ship, ot 1,971 tons buideu. She was out 112 dass and experienced no unusual weather throughout tho voyage.

Elscn berg, of Noirlstovvn, Pa. A measure of iaitlcular Interest to the conclaves In the coal regions Is, at this writing, In the hands of a special committee on hazaidous risk. At pres ent anyone employed about a mine either In tho capacity of mine superin tendent or at .my lesser emploj nient Is not admitted to tho order. At pre vious supremo conclaves efforts had been made to so amend the laws that those employed about the mines whose occupations are not essentially hazard ous, might be admitted. So much mls nppiehcnslon has prevailed, however, with reference to the real conditions of persons so employed that nil at tempts to remove the ban have been futile. The delegates to this supreme conclave have so vigorously forced the matter to the tront now that It Is alto gether probable that their woik will be crowned with success. Charles II. Henttjs, of Peckviile, has been up- pointed n member of the committee to which this matter has been refeireJ and It Is principally thtough his ef forts that a favorable committee1 re port has been scuted. There will ptobably be a fierce debate on the mat ter when It comes up for discussion in the conclave, but tho friends of the measure are confident that It will final ly vass. The sessions will not end before Sat urday.betause of theenotmous amount of business now before the body, Tho growth of the order during the past two yeirs has been phenomenal and at present there ate 4M) conclaves and 3.-,,000 members in good standing. There ait- about '217 delegates In attendance and amouir them are mnnv men of great ability. A new man, John. Sulll-v.-Mi, of Kansas City, Mo., who Is bound to enme up to the fiont In the order within a few jcars, has been electrify ing the session-, with his persuasive and picturesque eloquence. Ho Js un fiuestlonnblv among the fotemost at this conclave of the order. Mr. Sulli van held an Important government of fice In Missouri, which Piesldent Clove land kindly relieved him from for "per nicious activity" In the campaign of Mi. llryan for tlu presidency. Tho Sir.uiton delegates are all cjuaitored at tli3 Louisville hotel and are delighted with the hospitality shown them by their Kentucky brethren. A laige number of the delegates were anxious to give Ml. Roland the highest honor In their gift, that of supiemo aicbon, but he stiadlly declined to accept it. Had he alloweil his name to be usjd theie could be no question as to his election. He would have a practically solid vote from the not them and western conclave? and would al-) hnve many of the Mai viand nnd Vir ginia delegates. His business interests, however, pievented him fiom accept ing and Hie honor again fell to Mr Cohen. It Is hardlv necessary to s.iv that Air. Roland's action was regietted by the delegates who had been press ing his name for the olhce. P. A. P. TORNADO CAVES AT SCHOOLS. Kansas Parents Preparing to Ptotcct Their Children from Storms.

Heroic Hll'orts of the Firemen to Snvctho Adjoining Propcrtlos--At U O'clock This .Homing They Hud tho Plumes Well Under Coutiol. Htilldltigs That Wcro Totally or Pnrtlully Destroyed. Dunmoro "corners" was visited by another disastrous flic early this morn ing. Ten buildings wero at one stage or another of the conflagration -ablaze, but through the arduous and well di rected efforts of tho firemen and a, fortunate nbatcment of the wind, only three wero wholly nnd two partially destroyed. The buildings totally consumed wcro barns belonging respectively to tha Owen riynn estate, Dr. B, C. Hopkins nnd the Clave estate. A. C. Williams' residence and Har rington Hros.' hotel were the struc tures badly damaged. Tho burned area Is located In tha npex of the angle formed by Blakely and Chestnut streets, located to tha south ot the cornels. It Is a compact ly built dtrict, the scant space 4ie tweon tho rears of the buildings on tha two streets being taKon up with barns and other out buildings. It was In the Flynn barn that tho flames first broke out; how, no ono seems to know. The flames rapidly en v eloped: thks structure and in a few minutes communicated to tho barn of Dr. Hopkins, which adjoins on tho north. CLAVD BAItN THIRD. The Clavo barn, which was separated from the Hopkins' barn by only a few feet, was the next to take lire, and the flames fiom all three, fanned by a brisk north wind, set flro to tho Will lams' residence and. Harrington Pros,' thre-story hotel fronting on Chestnut street. Tongues of llamo fohot forth In all directions licking the adjacent build ings and causing thc-m to take fire ev ery now and then anil forcing the fire men to take rheir attention from the main conflagration and hasten hither and thlthcir to extinguish these Inci pient blazes. Showers of siwuks wera can led for two blocks to the north, covering the neat by roofs aixl adding greatly to the general consternation. The Flynn homestead, Dr. Hopkins' residence, Charles Weber's carpet weaving shop, W. C, Costello's grocery More, T. P. Letohworth's hpmo and undertaking establishment wore all moio or les binned and scorched nnd the drug stores of J, G. Done nnd Os car Luihvlg vvere at times In Imminent! danger. rmEMRN' ON THH schnd. At 12.45 the first nlaim was sounded. Chief J, J. O'Hoio no sooner arrived on the scene than he saw thoKreat danger of a general conflagiatlon ami wisely sent out a second alarm. Tho Elec tila Neptune, Intl'iK'nilonts1, Join II. Smith and A. D. Spencer Hoso companies nindo quick iesionses. By tho time they had their attachments made and began to get water on tho blaze, tho wind subsided ami from thu very outset the firemen made good gains on tho flames. Their effoits wetv were first directed; toward saving the buildings that had not as vtt taken fire. After these had been thoroughly drenched with wnter and tho small blnzos about them ex tinguished their attention was turned to tho Williams tesldenco and Harring ton hotel. At 1 30 tho barns collapsed and this caused the main conflagration to subside to such a degree that nearly the whole foice could be worked at th Williams und Hanlngton buildings. By 2 o'clock the lire In these was under control and half an hour later tho firemen taw themselves complete masters of the light Many of tho men suffered intersely from the heat anl smoke and not a tew had their faces badly scorched by the flames. The Williams and Hnrrlngton build ings vvere badly burned in the rear and upper portions nnd the Interims com pletely flooded with water. This, for tunate to say, Is the gteatest damage. The contents of the Clavo and Hopkins barn were paved and the Flynn barn was empty. Tho fact that the Flynn bain, whero the fire started, was un used, causes Chief O'Hara to pro nounce the blaze of Incendiary origin. THD DAMAGD DOND. Just what the damage is In figures cannot be stated. A rough nnd hurried estimate would placo It nt $8,000. This entire district was burned out by a flro some years ago and almost every building site about tho corners has b?en the sceno of a conflagration within tho past decade. Remarkable to state there are al ways a number of buildings destroyed whenever a fire occurs In that Imme diate locality and almost In every in stance the cause Is attributed to Incendiarism. ; i k
