Very Conflicting.
LONDON, April 27.-The news from
Greece this morning was conflicting. One
dispatch stated that France did all in her
power to secure a favorable settlement
for Greece by individual mediation but
failed. IL was also said that France did
not sign the ultimatum which the other
powers joined In ordering Greece 10 dis
arm, that she has not yet signed it, and
that II she eventually does sign IL that
fact will be communicated to Greece in a
separate note. Greece, it is averred, is
arranging TO seek from the powers certain
concessions IN return for disarming.
Other dispatches said that Greece dis
armed before receiving the ulumatum
which ordered the disarming 10 take place
within eight days, and that when Premier
Delyannis received the ultimatum he de-
clared that 1t was then objectless, as or
ders for disarmiDg had already been
given.
A Vienna dispatch says: cit is UNDER
stood that France intends TO propose a
conference for the purpose Of making con-
cessiOns to Greece"
A royal decree mas been issued disband-
ing the reserve forces. The Minister OF
War has returned to Athens from

it was an unconstitutional step, but he

coming the dumping ground of all the un-
profitable enterprises of the several
States. The States we're trying to shift
the cost of the maintenance of local en-
terprises to the broad shoulders of the

PAYNEs ELECTION.
The Ohio Legislative Testimony Sent to

the Senate.
w WASHINGTON, April 27.-The Chair
laid before the Senate to-day a communi-
cation from the Clerk OF the House of
Representatives of the State of Ohio
transmitting transcript OF the testimony
taken by the committee OF that House
and the report of the same committee on
the subject OF charges against the official
integrity Of certain members of that
House in connection with the cleo
ton of Hon. Henry B. Payne
as United States Senator. Mr..
Payne at once rose and said: "Mr. Presi-
dent, no formal motion is required, /
believe, to send these papers to the Com
mittee on Privileges and Elections. de-
sire to be considered as making such a
motion If it is required, and to couple
with it request that the minority report
may take the same course, a copy of
which 1 submit with this formal DISPOSE
ton of the matter. l am at present con-
tent, but desire to make short statement
to accompany the papers into the hands
of the committee"
MR.. PAYNE'S DEFENSE.
Mr.. Payne then made a short speech,
charging the majority Of the committee
with unfairness in refusing to notify him
of testimony prejudicial to him, and in
emitting to call on him for his private
papers, he having in advance notified the
Chairman of the committee that be would
be prepared 10 meet every charge made
against him. He entered a most en-
phatic denial of the charges and invited
most exhaustive scrutiny of all his acts
and of his private correspondence, The
whole thing, he said, was an attempt
to circulate baseless gossip and scandal,
everything substantial in the way of
charges having been discredited and dis
proved by testimony. He was entirely
willing to leave the matter with the Com
mittee on Privileges and Elections of the
Senate, to which committee it was re-
ferred.
Senator Boar, Chairman of the Senate
CommitteeOn Privileges and Elections has
received number OF letters from Repub-
licans in Ohio, urging thorough inves-
LEGATION of the charges presented against
Senator Payne. Senator Hoar and the
other members of the committee,
propose to make the Investigation
promptly and thoroughly. Senator Pay ne
has privately expressed to the member
of the committee his desire that this
should be done.
