REBELLION IN CRETE
INSURGENTS WINNING FRESH VIC
TORIES IN MACEDONIA.
The Porte Has Decided to Maintain
Defensive Attitude. Relying
the Powers.

Athens. July ga fresh fight is re-
ported TO have occurred at Kosani. Mace
donia, since the Greek insurgents invaded
Macedonia and made the attack on the
Turkish troops at Kara Teari, near
Mousa, which was reported on Saturday.
The inroads by Greek insurgents to
Macedonia are undoubtedly stimulated by
the condition of affairs in Crete, where
the Christian insurgents have as much
sympathy from the Greeks as have the
Cuban insurgents from the people of the
United States. 1t does not seem probable
that the present Macedonian disturbance
is connected with these outbreaks of last
year, which occurred along the Bulgarian
frontier and were thought to be melted
by the Macedonian central committee at
Sofia, though their central committee has
also been active this year, having Issued
n manifesto in June, stating that 're-
form in Macedonia by peaceful means
is no longer to be reckoned on and the
committee will concentrate all their en-
orgies to obtain real political autonomy.
Constantinople. July 26.-1t is announc-
ed that the porte has decided to main
tain defensive attitude in Crete. leaving
to the powers the task of inducing insur-
gent Cretans to accept the concessions
already promised them by the Turkish
government.
According to news received from Ca
nea in the island of Crete, two vessels
have landed arms and ammunition at
Gambia. near the center of the north
coast, for the insurgents, showing that
the rebellion is extending toward the
eastern portion of the island, which has
hitherto remained tranquil
The Mussulman deputies in Crete have
presented "A note to the foreign consul:

NEW YORK TAnORs sANGuINE
| Believe They VIII Abolish the
SweRtinE system.

New York, July 26.-An all-day meeting
was held by the striking tailors of this
city in Walhalla hall. Addresses were
made by a number of leaders, and the
situation was generally discussed. 1he
substance of the remarks made by the
various speakers was that no compromise
with the contractors should be made;
that the strikers must stand firm and ac
cept nothing but victory. The fact that
some of the contractors in the past who
combatted the talors have now Joined
hands with them is regarded by the lead
ers as significant, and is taken as an
omen of success for the tailors in the
total abolition of the sweating system,
an increase of the wage scale and for
fixed weekly toll standard of 50 hours.
1t is estimated that fully 10000 hands
are now idle on account of the strike in
this city and vicinity.

SPAIN is OVERCOME WITH FEAR
Paying Exorbitnnt Prices for War
Vessels nnd Torpedo Boats.

London. July 26.-The Times has dis
patch from Madrid, which was as fol-
lows.
1t is stated that the government has
paid the enormous price Of 100000 pounds
for the two war vessels recently bough,
at Genoa, while contract has just
been given for two torpedo boat destroy
ers at $1,000 pounds. which was dearer
than the tender OF first class English
firm or the ground that quicker delivery
would be secured. Nothing short of
panic can explain such extravaganza.

IRON MILL MEN GO TO WORK
Labor Adjustment at Pittsburg
which Affects 10000 Men.

Pttsburg, July 26.-Tomorrow will oc-
cur the beginning of the resumption of
the iron mills, which will soon put to
work at least 10000 idle men. 1t is esti-
mated that at least that number are in
terested in the settlement of the wage
scale with the Ohio manufacturers of
Youngstown Saturday night. The sue
cess of the amalgamated association in
making the wage settlement 1t has ef-
fected means, too, that the men em-
ployed in non-union mills will get an ad-
vance in their wages and that their en-
ployers will sign an agreement to pay
them union prices.
This comes as near as recognition Of
the union as the men are contending for
at present. The conference was with the
Ohio association. but plants in several
other states will be started under the
agreement.

RACE TRACK MEN In JERSEY
Will Make an Effort to Have a
Favorable Bill Passed.
To Be Rushed Through During the
Last Days of the Session in the
Interest OF Honest Racing"

Trenton, Jan ga race track bill is
going to be introduced during the pres
ent session OF the legislature. How il
will be received is still a matter OF
doubt. but the news that race-track legiS-
lation will Ice attempted comes from a
reliable source
The bill. ii is stated. will be in line with
the Gray law of New York; that is, it will
permit what the RAJ &c track men call ''hOn-
est racing" 1t will forbid bookmaking at
the race tracks, and do away with the
other Objectionable features which made
horse racing in New Jersey a by-word, and
brought about the marvellous state OF pub
lie indignation which resulted in the pas
sage OF law making ordinary race track
betting a State prison offenSe.
Nobody as yet Will say who will be en-
trusted with the Introduction of the bill,
but il is said it will come from a mem
Der of the Monmouth delegation. There is
like mystery as to when the bill will APP
pear.

taken the race track men will not only he
willing, but enthusiastic in favor of the
amendment. Should the amendment pass
without any action being previously taken
toward helping the race track interests,
the latter would be doomed. for it would
make irrepealable the law which forced
