ATHENS. April % .-Tuesday night the
Turkish advanced posts and attempted to
surprise the Greeks, who had been en-
gagged on the previous day in erecting
earthworks within what is alleged to be
the neutral line. Their effort. however,
was not successful, they being smartly re-

Turks and captured two of their guns.
The Greeks then occupied their positions

Gould on the Stand.

WASHINGTON. April pa br WAS
erected across the corridor and several
watchmen excluded the general public
from the room occupied BY the select com
nittee investigating the labor troubles in
the Southwest. The adoption oftbis pre-
caution was made necessary by the limi-
ted accommodation afforded by the small
room and the crowd of curious spectators
that filed the o Yesterday.
Jay Gould was IN attendance about
half an hour before the committee met
and was accompanied by A. L. Hopkins.
vice president of the Missouri Pacific Rail
road company and by Gen. Swayne, its
counsel. The resolution under which the
committee is proceeding, was read to Mr..
Gould and he was invited to give his
views upon the subject of strikes. In
rather a low voice Gould read a statement
showing in detail the number of men EN-
ployed by the Missouri Pacific
system. Gould explained that
the strike occurred in his absence.
He produced and read kilograms passing
between Powderly. Hoxie aud HOPKINS.
At the date of the strike he had IA. 3l5
employees, while the strikers numbered
3.7lT men, principally engaged in the
machine shops along the tracks. What
followed the strike? was asked. Gould,
showing signs of deep feeling, said;
They seized St Louis, Kansas City,
Sedalis. Texarkana, and our terminal ia
~cilities. They took possession and said:
No man shall run a train vyef that road.
That is what they said, exclaimed Gould
in a voice exhibiting traces of strong agi-
tation. Our loyal employees could not
run trains and were deprived of the power
to earn their wages. That was what fol
lowed the strikc--forcible possession-I
can't call it anything else; something the
car of Russia would hesitate to do with
his millions of soldiers behind him"
Gould her recited at length his version OF
the interview between himself and Pow
DERBY and the other Knights of Labor.
which has been fully covered in these dis
patches already.
The committee reassembled at , p IN,
when the examination Of Gould was re-
sumed. He was inquired Of by Mr..
Grain as to the ways of construction Of
companies in issuing stuck to themselves
out of proportion to work done, but
Gould denied any knowledge of such
dark and questionable transactions. He
had never heard of and did not believe
in such causes OF complaint as Powderly
alluded to in the first days testimony
such as cheating employees in the matter
of hospital taxation, homesteads and
stores belonging to superintendents and
foremen. He was inquired of by Outh-
waite as to stock speculations growing out
Of a strike, and he said he knew nothing
of the kind.

EouRTH GLASS PosTMAsTERs.

The wholesale removals of fourth class
postmasters has been explained. There are
two classes of federal officials for whom the
term is not fiXed,- collectors of internal rev.
enue and fourth class postmasters. Very
early the President determined that four
years was long enough for collector of in
ternal revenue to serve. But his attention
was not directed to the petty postmasters
until the cries of hunger and thirst became
more frequent and loud. Then the Post
master General, prompted, no doubt, by
Chairman Browns co-adjutor, First Assis-
tant Stevenson, and advised by the Presi-
dent himself, decided that four years was
long enough for these officials to serve their
country. So it has come about that a fourth
class postmaster who has served four years
has completed his term and is ready to
give place to another. AS most of the fourth
land was inaugurated had held their trusts
for more than four years, some of them even
having served their neighborhoods since
early Democratic days, it has happened
that there have been and still are vast
number whose terms have long expired. To
filling these vacancies" the administration
has devoted itself with an assiduity we'll
known in Maine. For this arbitrary fixing
of a limit to fourth class postmaster's term,
there is no authority in law. 1t is simply a
fiat of this administration, an invention
like offensive partisanship," which is in
tended to afford an excuse for a raid on the
spoils Of office. The fact that such an ex-
cuse is put forth sometime after the raid has
begun, can only mean that the spoils are to
be delivered over to the victors much more
rapidly in the future than in the past.

COLLECTOR cHAsE's SUCCESSOR.

The President has appointed the Hon.
John B. Redman of Ellsworth collector of
internal revenue for the Maine district, to
succeed Collector Chase The President has
been good while making up his mind, and
it is by no means clear that his long deliber-
alton has improved his choice. The gentle
man most generally mentioned in connection
with the Office was the Hon. George F. En-
cry, thorough and consistent Democrat,
in every way fitted to discharge the duties of
the place. He was recommended by the
best men of his party, and up to the day that
Mr.. Redman's name was sent to the Senate
his appointment seemed practically certain.
But the Hon. William III. Clifford has been
in Washington lately. Now it will be re-
membered that Mr.. Clifford was chairman of
the Democratic convention at Bangor, and
that Mr.. Redman was for time candidate
for Governor before that convention, and
that he finally withdrew. The Argus said
he withdrew on account of business engage
ments." At the time we supposed our es-
teemed contemporary was fibbing little to
let crestfallen individual down easily, but
in the illumination furnished by the Presi-
dents action following close upon Mr.. Cliff
ford's visit to Washington it looks as though
there was certain amount of truth in it. Cir
cumstantial evidence points very strongly to
the conclusion that influence to secure for
him appointment to the internal revenue
relationship was part of the consideration
which induced Mr.. Redman to withdraw.
We have as good Democratic authority as
the Boston Post for saying that it was Mr..
Clifford who exerted this influence with the
President and turned him from Mr.. Emery
to Mr.. Redman. Mr.. Redman undoubtedly
will make a good collector, but the appoint
ment of Mr.. Emery would have been more
satisfactory to the people Probably Fir.
Redman will suit Mr.. Clifford and the poll
ticianS better.

United States government is prepared; to
take the full consequence Of this position.
The nation has hitherto claimed ana eIeI-

of Cape Cod Bay, Massachusetts bay, Long

lets on the coast of Alaska. Inc pe9;Ptie od
Boston and New York easily see tnat IL Is no

yet this is just what they are dong Wien Wien
they iusist that the limit of nation S Eoast

these circumstances, be found unpleasant "

Britain to establish marine sovereignty III III
positions commanding large expanseS OF

aid cautiously discusses these aspects Oh tne
situation and concludes that if the right 10

the shore were gained by the United States
it would prove to be IAN enormous national
sacrifice" Be that as it may, this is no time
for Canada to yield anything, and since the

Chaleur, Capt. Scott does well to guard the

The modest and Retiring young statesman

The modest and retiring young statesman
who has been nominated for Congress by the
Democrats of the First district must have
blushed scarlet when he read the eulogies
upon him contained in our esteemed morning
contemporary yesterday, In double loaded
editorial he is informed that 'cheers rent the
air when his nomination was made unani-
mous;' that his nomination came because
it way inevitable" that if he had declined
''no other nomination would have been
made" that the Democrats of the First
district are happy" that he is ''too well
known to need any eulogism." In another
column he is informed that he once per-
formed the duties of United States commits
sioner Every actively and successfully"
that he once declined nomination on ac-
count of his great law business. Even the
Washington correspondent is called in to do
honor to this Young Lion of the Democracy,
and Secretary Of the Navy Whitney is quoted
as saying that Clifford SIS a man who will
conquer the Republicans of the First dis
triet," that she is the ablest young man that
New England can produce in the political
fight and will make a magnificent mar"
Senator Payne, the Standard Oil Senator, is
reported very jubilant, and says "Mr Cliff

while all the men in Washington interested
in New England politics are represented to be
shouting with one accord, "Whoop 'em

Boycotting has been declared illegal in
Connecticut, New York and Wisconsin; and
a case will soon be tried in Massachusetts.
Last Saturday afternoon Peter McGeough,
of Lynn and William B. O'Keefe, a member
of the common council of Salem, were Arrest
ed on charge of acting against the peace Of
the commonwealth in conspiring to injure
the business of Harrington & Co. leather mer-
chants of Boston. The knights of Labor had
some grievance against the firm, and to injure
its business, MeGeough and O'Keefe went to
one of the shoe shops of Salem and informed
the proprietor that he must use no more Of
Harrington's leather, on pain of strike in
the Salem shop. The wishes of the Knights
were complied with, and no more of the
leather was used. The sheriff carried the
two men to Plymouth yesterday, to make
returns on the warrants. The two prisoners
have secured benjamin f. Butler for counsel,
and the case promises to be very interesting.
The compainants have intended that it
shall be test case, to see if there is law
enough in Massachusetts to protect man
who feels himself injured by another, or by
a company of Others.

The Senate did well Tuesday, in rejecting
a certain nomination. Last December man
named Rosette, editor Of newspaper in De
Kalb, ILL.,, was appointed postmaster at that
place. Some of the people there did not
want such man for postmaster; and to let
the Senate know about him, sent to Wash
ington copies of Rosette's newspaper, in
which General Grant was roundly abused
about six years ago. 1t is said that every
Senator voted for the rejection of the nomi-
nation. Several editors in this country have
been taught valuable lessons by such disap-
pointments; and the people who take their
papers are to be congratulated, even if the
rules of good taste have found their way
into the editors head only by a process of
pounding.

that the decision will be found to be in favor
of the bride taker when it is handed down
next October This does not seem probable,
but there is considerable uncertainty as to
the decision, and proceedings will not begin

case is finally settled. Meanwhile Jaehne
will remain in suspense to see whether he
will get out Of Sing Sing, and the other ex-

FIRST DISTRICT DEMOCRACY
Lewiston .IOurnal

The Democrats in the First Maine Con-
grossional District did the unexpected thing
in throwing overheard Mr.. j. FL. Hunkins Of
Biddeford, who was supported by many
Knights of Labor, and in nominating lawyer
w. III. Clifford of Portland, for Congress.
The reason priv ately given is that Mr. Hunk
ms had no claim ON the convention and that
it was necessary to nominate a man who
would put some of the sinews of war into the
canvass. Leading men of the Knights OF La
Dor say they will not support the nominee,
but will vote for those candidates who be-
lieve in the protection of American labor.
The First District Democracy have set up a
man for Congress who will be easily upset at
the September election. The friends of
American industry and labor and the earn
ers of wages in the First District will gener-
ally vote for the return of Congressman
Reed. Mr.. Reed has stood like rock against
Morrisonism and Bourbonism in the House
and has served the nation and State as well
as his own district with signal fidelity, intel
ligence and fire. Mr.. Reeds championship
of American industry and labor in the pres
emit Congress has been mastery. His resist
ance at every point of the aggressive attacks
of the Morrison Democr acy on American en-
terprise and on Maine interests especially
from the fishermen of the shore to the lum-
bermen of the forest, leave nothing to be said
but praise and nothing to be done but to re-
turn to his seat, a Congressman who has no
whit of demagoguery in his makeup and an
unimpeachable public record.
