IT WAS NOT READ.

What view Judge Edwards, WHO pre-
sided in the case. takes of the clause
in question Of course could not be as
certained, but the fact that he would
/ OF allow the clerk to read or record
the penalty clause, would indicate that
he is at least in doubt as to its regu-
larity.
The jury, it is said, considered the
strongest point brought out by the
prosecution was the evidence on the
course taken by the bullet, which, it
will be remembered, entered at the pit
of the stomach and took a downward
slant of 45 degrees. This convinced
them that KeryCki was shot while in
bed, and not while he was standing
over Koehler.
During the progress of the trial The
Tribune refrained from making any
thing more than a mere alluslon to
Koehler's past record. Now that his
case has been decided and no injus-
tice can be done by a recital of his
record, it is given below in detail.

Captured and Burned Damasi.

Athens. April 20, Midnight.-News has
just reached here that the Greeks, after
desperate battle, have captured and
burned Damasi. Vigilia is still resist
ing. Another division of the Greek
troops, it is reported has traversed the
Revini pass and captured three block
houses. This division has almost reach
cd Damasi, where it will effect union
with the force that captured the town.

Crown Prince Constantine has tele-
graphed here that the Turks at that
point were completely and finally re-
pulsed.
In Athens greater attention has been
paid to the operations in the neghbor-
hood of Reveni than to those at Miouna
pass. The theory all along has been
that if the Greeks could esta blish them
selves at Damasi their road would lie
open to Elassona. The situation at
IyrnavO is somewhat in doubt. The
news from that point is conflicting, but
there is no confirmation of the rumor
that the place has been captured by the
Turks. What seems to have happened is
that TyrnayO was evacuated in order to
send troops forward to Revcni, and was
then reOccupicd by the troops returning
from NIilouna

MUsTAPHA BEY,s ADvICEs.
Reports Received by the Turkish
Minister Mt Washington.

Washington. April 20.-According to
official dispatches received by Mustapha
Bey, the Turkish minister from Constan-
tinople, under date of April 20, the Turks
have not only gained decided advantages
along the northwestern frontier in the
ncighborhoOd of Milouna Pass, but have
rcpulsed the attack of the Greek feet on
Prcvcsa.
The commander of the Turkish forces
at ElassOna reports that all of the forti-
fed positions commanding Tyranyo, next
to the last fortified town outside of La
rissa. have been captured by the Ottoman
troops. The Greeks evacuated their en-
trenchments in Janini, leaving their camp
equipment, thirty cases OF cartridges and
several stands of arms. The position of
Licyeto. which was occupied by bands Of
Greek irrcgulars on their first advance
into Turkish territory. has been re-
captured by the Turks. The commander
assures the porte that the forward move
mcnt today (Tuesday) Is the most impor-
tant yet attempted, and is expected to re-
sui in n decisive and important Turkish
victory.
The Turkish commander of the army
at Janini reports that the Greek naval
force, which bombarded Preyesa both
from the sea nd gulf sides, has been dis
persed, one section retreating up the Gulf
of Arta and the other steaming away to
sea in the direction of Conine isles. Con
trary to the claims of the Greeks, the
Turkish commander reports the Prevesa
defenses uninjured by the naval lombard
ment.

THE TARIFF.
Senate Committee Reported as Hnv-
ing Trimmed Down House Rates.


Washington, April 2O.-The presence OH
the floor of the senate today OF the mem
bers of the republican substitute commit
tee of the senate finance committee when
is engaged in preparing the tariff bill, was
made the basis of much speculation. The
members of the committee were closeted
for time with Senator Vest of the demo-
cratic side of the finance committee, and
afterwards held individual conferences
with other senators on both sides or the
chamber. The committee is approaching
the end of its labors, and various sena-
tors who are making persistent demands
for changes were called upon, with view
to arriving at an understanding.
Among the problems which are yet I'M
settled are those relating to sugar, lead ore
and wool. Some senators have manifest
ed disposition to hold out persistently
for certain notifications of the schedules
referring to these and other articles. The
members Of the committee, while not indi-
eating their own position or that of the
committee, have thought it well to talk
over these matters with the complaining
senators. They are anxious to bring in
u bill that will command the united sup
port of the republican party and that is
sure to become law. They think they
will succeed, but beyond this they said.
bill to the full committee some time next
week. The committee says that none of
the changes will be announced until all are
given to the public. Members of the COM
mittee told their colleagues that many
reductions have been made from begin
ming to end of the bill because of the be-
lief on the part of the committee that
many of the house rates would be prohibi-
tive. They have listened patiently to ad-

ad retired, except from hill which was

had retired, except from hill which was
| occupied by the Greek regulars
Desultory firing took place all the morn
ing, and finally at p. m. Monday Haifi
Pasha sent four battalions to drive the
remainder from the hill referred to. In
twenty minutes it was all over. The re-
sistance of the Greeks was feeble. and
many of them surrendered TO the Turks.
The prisoners were mostly young and
sturdy men.
After the capture of the last Greek po-
sition, the Turks advanced. singing as
they marched forward, and occupied all
the remaining heights. On reaching the
summit of the hills of Tyrnavo, the Greek
frontier town, situated about ten miles
from Larissa, the Turks observed that
the Greeks were occupying small hill,
from which they fired but feebly at the
Turks. Finally two Turkish mountain
batteries were brought up to the summit
of the hill occupied by the Turks, and
nayo. Under cover of this fire, the Turk
ish infantry advanced and captured a
spur opposite the Greek block house. Or
ders were given to the Turks at ) o'clock
to take the block house by assault This
movement was brilliantly effected twenty
minutes later.
The Greek prisoners say that the Greek
army has already lost heart.
The situation at present is that the
Turks have possession of all the com
handing heights between their headquar-
tiers and the Greek headquarters at Laris-
sa, with the exception of Tyrnavo, which
is now commanded by the Turkish bat
teries.
The Turks tonight are camping in the
tents the Greeks left on the plains of
Thessaly, near the Milouna Pass. The
Turks today only had six men killed and
ten wounded.
The death of Hafiz Pasha, the Turkish
commander, who was killed in the fight
ing which took place in the Milouna Pass
on Saturday, is greatly lamented. He
was 80 years of age, and while advancing
at the head of his troops was urged to
dsmount and rest. The old pasha re-
piled: During the Russian war l never
and why should l do so
now!"
Soon afterward IIafz Pasha was
wounded in The arm, but he still remain
ed in the saddle. Later n second bullet
struck him in the hand, but the old war
rior refused to retire. Finally third
bullet broke the gallant pasha's spine,
and he rolled from his saddle dead.

1T IS ONLY TEN MILES FROM La
RIssA AND SEEMS DESTINED
TO FALL.
MOSEMS WILL Be At DISADVANTAGE
Between Two Grand Divisions of the
Greek Army-The Immed late Flu
ture Bright for Greece-The
Turkish Line of Supplies
In Now Threatened.

Athens April 20.-Thc news of the
capture of Damasi puts a new complex
ion upon the situation on the frontier, is
n great encouragement to the govern
ment and IL likely TO have the most eX'
hilerating effect on the spirits OF the
Greeks, who had been greatly depressed
by the reverse Of their troops at Milouna
pass. This success, and the fact that
the fall of Prevesa seems imminent, vir-
tually offsets the calamity at Milouna.
If the Greek divisions effect a union at
Damasi, as is expected, there is almost
nothing in the way of their prompt ad-
vance to Elassona.
If Tyrnavo falls into the hands of
Edhem Pasha, and the Turkish troops
sweep down upon the plain and advance
to Iarissa to meet the force concentrat-
ed there under the crown prince, they
will be between two grand divisions of
the Greek army. This seems to have
been the object of Greek strategy.
Should the Greeks succeed in reducing
the forts ut Preyesp. as now seems prob
ale, and in occupying the town with the
large land force cooperating with the
bombarding warships, the road to Janipi
would be open and the Turkish troops ip
Epirus placed Mt the most serious disad-
vantage. The strategic value Of Pre-
vest to the Turkish division in Albania
" that so long as 1t remains in the hands
OF the Turks II makes possible n steady
line o. munitions and food
With Prevesa in the hands of the
Greeks this line would be promptly cut
and II would be practically impossible to
reyictual the Turkish troops by the long
land route through Macedonia. On the
other hand, the Greeks could not be re-
.yictuaed by sea. 1t is stated here III wen
informed circles that the eastern squad
ron of the Greek fleet, which will shortly
be reinforced by the ironclad Spetzla, is
planning an important move. This is
probably directed against Salonica. If
this is made with dispatch, II is quite pos
sible the Greek ships could reach the gulf
and shell the town of Salonica before the
a egean squadron of the Turkish fleet
could intervene. The object of such a
bombardment would be to shut off the
Macedonian line Of supplies to Edhem
Pasha's camp ut Elassona. Should the
Greek troop advance from Damasi to
Elassona, the line of Turkish supplies
could he cut at that point and render the
naval movement unnecessary. And it is
possible that the Turkish success at Da-
mast will cause modification in the
sea program of the Turks.
Taking u general situation of the field
tonight monday, the fortunes of war
are pretty evenly divided, but the chances
for the immediate future are decidedly
in favor of the Greeks.
