THE BEWILDERBD TURK
IBy Gable to The Associated Press. !

CONSTANTINOPLE, Wednesday, April
q, 1S9..--tD Delayed in transmission. 1.-The
Turkish squadron still remains in The
Dardanelles. There is much comment
here on the disgrace of Izzet Bey, until
recently the fayorite adviser of the Sui
tam Izzet is reported to have been ar
rested. One cause of his disgrace, ac-
cording to report, is that he withheld
from the Sultan two Of Edhem Pasha's
dispatches informing His Majesty that
the position oil the Turkish Army in
Macedonia was iatolerable owing to the
incursions OF the Greek irregulars and
asking for authority to advance Izzet' $
object it appears, was to gain time with
the view of bringing about a pacific set
tlement of the Cretan question with
Greece direct. Another account of the
disgrace OF Izzet Bey has it that the
Turkish Minister for War Ria Pasha.

IN THEIR LAST DITCH.
IN
srRepublicans' Only Hope Now
; in the Court of Errors
and Appeals.
MUCH DOUBT As TO THE OUTCOME
Mr.. MeDermott Believes the
Court Will Not Pass Upon
the Macarthur Act
Saturday.
THE PROPOSITION IS RIDICULOUS
is willing TO Argue the case
When Presented to the
Court Properly.
MR.. coRBIN is STILL CONFIDENT
He Feels Sure the Court VIII sus-
tain the Extension Act-mayor
wanser Takes Care of
Macarthur.

The Court of Errors and Appeals will
meet Saturday to pass upon the appeal
from the judgment of the Evening Jour-
nal" against the city, which Messrs.
Corbin & Corbin, the counsel for the Re-
publican party, feel certain will settle
the Mayoralty muddle The decision by
Justices Garrison and Gummere sitting as
branch of the Supreme Court at Cam
den. yesterday, against the city in the
certiorari proceedings in refusing to pass
upon the extension act was based on
purely technical grounds. Mr.. Charles
Cerbin. however. is confident that the
Court Of Appeals will go into the Con-
stitutisnal question.
While in suits between individuals
courts seldom go further in their opin-
ions than to consider some one decisive
question of law, they have the power to
exhaust all questions that may be in
yoivea. and in matters of general public
Importance they usually pursue this
course. 1t is in this practice of the
hiShe. courts that the Republicans are
putting their trust.
Ailan McDermott, the watchful lawyer
of the Democracy, is equally confident
that the Court of Appeals will not decide
the Mayoralty election in the present case.
He sai5<-
Going to decide the government of
Jersey City on printing bill, are they?
think it is the most nonsensical thing
ever heard of. If the printing was done
the Journal is entitled to receive pay
for it from the city, whether the Nc
Arthur act is constitutional or not.
What would be thought of an attempt
to decide the validity of Jersey Citys
water contract in suit brought to -e-
cover for advertising for proposals? I
haven't any objection to arguing the
question in the Court of Errors and APP
peals when it gets there in an orderly,
peaceabie and law-abiding manner, and
I do not believe there will be a single
vote in that court to sustain the law
passed last winter.
i understand the attitude of Mayor
Wanser's lawyers is this: They say the
Supreme Court has decided the act of
1897 to be unconstitutional, but that as
Mayor Wanser differs with that court it
IS the duty of the Court of Errors and
Appeals to make ludicrous exhibition of
itself by joining in the proposition that
judgments of the Supreme Court are not
worth obeying until they have been af-
hrmed in the Court of Errors''

PARIS, April %, 1S97-"Le Journal's''
correspondent at Odessa lelegraphs that
all the necessary measures have been
taken at Sebastapol for the eventual in
tervention of Russia in the war between
Turkey and Greece.
The situation on the Thessalian from
tier, according to despatch from Ath-
ems today, is considered to be highly
critical. 1t is feared the Greek troops,
exhausted by three days hard lighting
will be unable to resist much longer the
furious attacks of the Turks
The correspondent of lie Journal at
Athens telegraphs that in the advance
on Damasi the Greek troops suffered con-
siderably and the Turkish losses We're en-
ormous. AT Bughazi two entire Turkish
companies were annihilated while trying
to CAPTURE the Greek batteries
Continuing, the despatch says that the
Turkish fort at vigiia is surrounded by
Greeks, who are trying to silence the
six Turkish batteries remaining in posi-
ton. Even these, it is further stated, are
not supported by infantry.
