Chicago Greeks Who Are Ready to
Shoulder Arms.

Chicago, Feb. 1.-THE Greek colony in
Chicago was greatly excited last even
ing over the news of the nominal declara-
ton of war against Turkey by their
mother country These people all say
that if there is a war they will hurry
back TO Greece to take up arms for the
land they have left but have not ceased
to love There are now about 1000 native
born Greeks in Chicago. Among those
who could be seen last evening after the
cablegrams announcing the firing on the
Turkish flag by the Greeks had been re-
ceived there was no difference of opinion.
Should affairs continue to assume a
more serious aspect there is no doubt that
a regiment of fighting men will be en-
listed in this city.

GOSSIP Of THE Town.

Fred T. McGurrin. private secretary to
Senator Arthur Brown. will shortly re-
turn from Washington and resume his
law practice. and incidentally to dabble
in politics again. Fred is looked upon as
the leader of the Republican host in
the FOrty-Seventh precinct, and his
friends recite the fact that in the last
campaign he headed the only solid Nc
Kinley delegation sent TO the Republican
county convention, receiving 100 votes,
while Senator Brown himself was de-
feated. On election day Mckinley re-
ceived a paltry II votes. and the d,ner-
ence between that total and the number
received by McGurrin is credited TO Fred D
personal popularity.
The expeditions manner in which the
approved the appointments OF Chief OF
Police Paul. of officers Burbidge and
Matt Rhodes to the positions OF sergeants
to fill vacancies, shows that the board
has confidence in Chief Hauls judgment
and executive ability. The old custom

Rates For the Fight.

Chicago. Feb. 15.-The second reduced
rate proposition for the Nevada hstic
carnival, which is being voted on now
by the western lines. is the one which
will, without doubt. be the agreed rate
from this city. 1t is only 60 cents
under the regular S110 winter tourist

cific offered a rate of sS5 from Ogden
to Carson as a basising rate to east
ern connections. This is one and one
fifth fare for the round trip. which,
from this city, would amount to sl09.40.

BUNCE'S FLEET.
Maneuvres Confined to Target Prac.
tice Observation-Disclosures Work.


Charleston, S. c., Feb. 15.-The fea-
ture of the day in the blockading of tbs
port of Charleston by Admiral Bunce's
fleet, consisted of some heavy gun
practice by the entire squadron. Shortly
after l o'clock. the ships moved into
their blockading positions, and putting
out floating targets at distances rang
ing from 400 to 1000 yards, began to get
their main batteries into action The
line Of action was the same as that
which the fleet has observed during
other blockade work, the Massachu-
sets to the north and the Maine, Am
phitrite Indiana and Columbia run
ming away to the southwark distance
of 5000 yards apart. The targets used
were the ordinary floating triangles of
seven feet to the side. The practice
began at lis in the afternoon and
continued without interruption until
$3.50 d. m. The main batteries of the
ships are: Massachusetts, four 13-inch,
eight S-inch and four 6-inch guns; the
Maine, four 10-inch and six 6-inch
guns; the Amphitrite, four 10-inch and
two 5-inch rapidfire guns; the New
York, six s-inch and Il 4-inch rapid-fire
guns, and the Columbia, one S-inch,
two 6-inch and eight 4-inch rapid-fire
guns. The guns on the individual
ships were in action one at a time, and
while the ships were anchored. Once
the Massachusetts fired her 13-inch
guns at intervals of two minutes and
at one time the battleship Maine got
under way and fired several shots at
her target.
The guns were loaded with service
cartridges ana shells were the main
projectiles used. The booming of the
guns reverberated for several miles
along the coast and in the city the
conclusion could not only be heard, but
felt distinctly The shooting was
nearly all line shooting, and while the
range Of the targets was not gotten
with accuracy, the practice was appar-
emily successful Many of the projec
tiles struck short of the target and
plunged into the ocean.
The Vesuvfus left the harbor this
morning at 10 o'clock and rejoined the
fleet. Later in the day she returned
to port again and remained for q few
hours. The Marblehead sailed for May
port, on the Florida coast, shortly
before O'Clock this afternoon. The
Terror, Puritan and other ships pos
sibly, are expected to join the fleet to-
night or tomorrow morning. Thurs
day morning the Maine will go TO Port
Royal to be coaled.
The fleet remained quietly anchored
tonight in the positions occupied dur
ing gun practice. No maneuvres of any
kind were attempted. 1t was a night
OFF after the lively work of the men in
the turrets.

Salisbury's Characterization of the
Action of Greece.

London. Feb. 1.-THE matter of dis
orders in Crete and the action taken by

sued.

The Northern Pacific.

Milwaukee, Feb. 15.-Judge Jenkins

company's property and the transfer to

FEDERAL PATRONAGE.
But Few Appointments Will Be
Made Before July, Says Mckinley.

Chicago, Feb. ia Tribune special
from Leavenworth, Kan, says:
United States Senator Lucien Baker
has written a letter to a friend in
Leavenworth relative to the dispense
ton of federal patronage in Kansas.
Senator Baker says:
Civil service has been, in my opin-
ion, extended far beyond reasonable
bounds. In some departments cit
is carried to such an extent that the
drivers of two-horse wagons in the
government have to pass an eXamina
ton in polite literature before they can
obtain employment.
Mr. Mckinley has given it out cold
and fiat that but very few appoint
ments viii be made until after the ex-
piration of the special session, which
will probably begin in March and end
in July
