Tho I.rclstnllvo Committee nt Work In
Itnzleton This Wt-nh.
IlAltBTox, April S3. The Legislative In
vestigating Committee, which lias so far
Allied of its object, begin its sessions here
yesterday morning in the parlors of the
Central Hotel. -There were two sessions
held, In the morning and afternooi , and
were devoted mainly to quieting wllnewee
from Drifton. Fifteen In all were heard,
principally foremen, but nothing could be
learned from the latter as to the cost of
mining white others dented that destitution
prevailed.
I). J. McCarthy, sn perl n tend en i of the
Cross Creek Coal Company, at Drifton, wee
considered the star witness. He refused to
state the cost of mining or the rate paid per
iuii, nun tue cunimiiieQ iaueu 10 get any in
formation from bins, although Representa
tive Roberts put the witness through a rigid
cross-examination. The bosses claimed to
receive on au average of $2.10 a day and
knew of no destitution. Patrick Mnlur, a
miner at Drifton, earned $81.77 during the
past two weeks and had no complaint to
make.
Peter O'Donnell, an engineer, told the com
mittee that he worked full time and drew $10
and $20 every two weeks. Dominic Kelley,
sworn, said that he was entirely satisfied.
Alonzo Woodring, a carponterat Drifton, bad
nothing to kick about and knew of no desti
tution. John L. Fowler, a blacksmith, was
perfectly satisfied with 181 cents per hour,
and wanted no more. Peter Hoberg, anothor
Drlftonian, had nothing to complain about.
James Devau, a foreman at the same plaee,
said that he knew of no persons being in need
of tho necessaries of life. Thomas Ferry, a
Lehigh Valley minor, swore that ho had seen
things better and also worse, so he had noth
ing to complain about. No company store,
do doctor bill If he didn't want It, and
fair prico for cutting coal.
At tho afternoon session tho witnesses were
all employes of tho Lehigh Valley Coal Com
pany, hut little information of benefit to the
committee was gloaned. They could not
account for the rumors that destitution ox
isted, and noarly all testified that there was
no destitution.
The testimony of these men, however, was
shattered by E. J.-Brennan, of McAdoo, a
school teacher. Ho net only made a capital
witness, but so convincing were his stato
monts that tho committee decided to go to tho
South Side this afternoon, make a tour of the
homes of tho miners and see for themselves
the destitution that really exists. Mr. Bren
nan was not afraid to tell the committee
what he knew about the condition of tho
underground workers. His assertion that
only those who are steadily employed were
selected to testify, was truodu every sense.
Tho committee will adjourn this afternoon
aud go to their respective homes. They will
resume their investigation next week, prob
ably at Shamokiu.

THE GREEKS

R
But Neieros In the Hands of the Turk
ish Troops.
THE SITUATION YERY GRAYE
Report That the Greeks Have Retreated
rrom Matl, Which May Assure the
Turks the Speedy Capture of
Larissa-Turkey's Poor '
Warships.
London, April St. The war news re
ceived from the special correspondents
of the Ijondon paper Is meager and
somewhat conHictlnsr. The only cer
tainty seems to be that Tyrnavo has
not yet fallen, but Keseroe li In the
hands of the Turk.
The Chronicle's Athena correspondent
says that the Greeks have retreated
from Matl.
According to The Times' correspon
dent at Athene the result of the light
ing, which was raging furiously at
Matt, would decide the fate of Larlesa,
and if the Turks capture Matl Tyr
navo must fall.
A telegram from Larlssa says that
10.000 Turks are engaged, and" that
Crown Prince Conitantlne has arrived
on the scene of action. The Greeks are
maintaining their positions.
All the dispatches from Athens ad
mit lmt the situation Is extremely
grave. Fighting appears to be going
on ainnir Hie whole frontier line. It
Is rumored there that the king will
start for Larlssa on Monday next.
The western division of the Greek
fleet has sailed from Leucaa for tho
coast of Enlrus, with the sign of fo
menting a revolt among the Albani
ans. It Is said that Hate Pasha will re
sign the command of the Turkish fleet
If It Is ordered to leave the Dardanelles.
He Is said to have declared the vessels
"q,ulte unfit for active operations."
The Standard's Constantinople cor
respondent describes the Turkish fleets
and characterizes Its appearance as
ridiculous. He says that six Inch guns
are the heaviest carried. The captains
Of all the war vessels in the Dardanelles,
including the.torredo boats, sent a
message to Hofe Pasha declaring the
fleet unfit for sea. The vessels have,
therefore, been ordered to return, but
singly, so as not to attract public at
tention. Four hundred members of the for
eign legion. Including 20 Englishmen,
under Captain Birch, arrived at Lar
lssa on Tuesday. They were received
with a great demonstration, which was
repeated on their departure to the
fiont. Great enthusiasm yas caused
among the Greeks when the English
men sang the Greek national war song.
The estimation In which the Turks
are held Is shown by the stampede of
the whole population on the frontier,
The villages and roads to Larlssa are
literally blocked with fugitives, herds of
cattle, horses and donkeys, women and
children on foot, old women carrying
chairs, beds and household gear on
their backs, on donkeys, in ox wagons
and In every conceivable sort of ve
hicle. The scene Is heartrending, and
reminds one of Pliny's description of
the flight from Pompeii after the erup
tion of Vesuvius.
Larlssa Is overcrowded. Food Is
scarce, the hospitals are full, and there
Is ati urgent appeal for nurses and sur
gical assistance. The wounded are ar
riving hourly, and all the surgical op
erations must be performed without
chloroform, as there Is none to be had.
Chief Davellls and the survivors of
his band o irregulars have returned
to Larlssa from their raid into Mace
donia, The latest news from the district of
Kurtslovall (probably Identical with
Gritzovali) is that tho place has beep
recaptured by the Greeks,
A dispatch to Tho Morning Post from
Karvassara says It Is reported that
civil war has broken out among the
Turks In Prevesa, and that the sur
render of the town Is expected hourly.
A dispatch to The Dally Chronicle
from Athens says that the Greeks have
held their own positions and destroyed
the Turkish cavalry at Matl. Qerman
ofllcers were seen lighting with the
Turks In. German uniforms,
The report Is confirmed that a bridge
and two tunnels at a junction of the
Salonica and Constantinople railway
have been blown up, and the working
of the line will be seriously interrupted
for several months.
The fight at Krltlrl continues In a de
sultory way. The Greek position, de
fended by earthworks and forts,. Is the
last position on tho heights, but not
Important, because a large Greek army
Is now on the plain at a good distance.
To understand the position It Is nec
essary to compare the line of moun
tains to the letter A. The Greeks hold
the extreme point InBlde, while the
Turks on the two lines dangerously
menace the Greek position, which will
become untenable as soon as the Turks
advance. Nechat Paha still withholds
the order to take Krltlrl by assault,
though the Turkish troops are begging
hi permission to do so.
A dispatch to The Time from Oanea
Lsays that fighting is going on almost
ciauy in me vicinuy or uunuia, wnere
there are 5.000 Insurgents, Including 00
cavalry, together with a considerable
body of a reek troops and four heavy
guns. The governor expresses (ear lest
the Insurgents may attack the town en
maase. The Turks there have no Held
