OTHER EFFORTS.
To Secure the Person of Schmidt by the
 Sheriff Fail-He Is Yet in the --- F gf.-.~s4' City Prison.

Last night other demands were made on Warden Garner at the city prison for the man Schmidt, who is wanted in Nashville for stealing diamonds, the ar rest of whom is given in another col umn. The demands were made by the sheriff and in every instance refused.
 AS stated in another column, Chief Mo Donald was placed under bond for re- fusing like request.
 Early in the night an order was pre- scented from Judge Feagin to Warden Garner authorizing him to turn the pris- oner over to the sheriff. This order was disregarded.
 The sheriff then secured the opinion of Police Commissioner A. O.. Lane, who advised the delivery of the man, but this too was unheeded. As last resort, the opinion of Chairman Stevens was secured and, like MT. Lane, he advised that Schmidt be delivered to the sheriff on Judge Feagin's order. Again Warden Garner refused to do so. 4
 Before this last opinion was received by the warden, a second order was re- celived from Judge Feagin recindi1g the first one and ordering the man held.
 Threats were made. by the sheriff that Warden Garner would be arrested for in terferring with an officer and, it is said, a deputy was sent out to swear out the necessary warrant.
 At 12 o'clock Warden Garner was re- leased by Warden Walton, but he was not arrested. T+'sf} .---.s -'
 Warden Walton said that he did not expect a demand to be made upon him. but he would refuse to honor it should one be made. eA

ROADS HANG FIRE
And Show Reluctance to Joining the
 Western Passenger Association.

Chicago, May 6.-Some of the roads that were good and consistent members Of bhe Western Passenger association before that organization dissolved after the promulgation of the supreme court decision are showing a aeluctance to be- come members once more. They have no fault in particular to" find. with rtlpe new agreement or with the manner in which the affairs of tine organization are man. aged by Chairman Caldwell. In fact, all of them admit that no passenger associa- cfon was ever handled better but they have reluctancy to put themselves into position where the courts may get a whack at them in case the legal gentle men of the roads, who have pronounced the agreement perfectly valid in all re- spects, should happsn to overlook some- thing or other. It is rot expected that any of the roads that so far have failed to become members are withholding themselves from membership because of any desire to demoralize rates. But one or two roads are not so certain associa- tions are legal after all, and some of their competitors do not come in because they desire to be in position to meet what ever rates their competitors may make. It is claimed that the passenger associa- tion has nothing to do with the making or maintenance of rates, and any road is as free to take individual action in the association as out of it.
 Strong pressure is being brought to bear on the lires that are still outs: and ing and 1t is likely that they will in a short time become members of the freight and passenger associations.

sMOLENsKI'S POSITION
Cut Off From Escape Save by the Noun
 tains-He Must Surrender.

Cut Off From Escape Save by the Noun ! 4 tains-He Must Surrender.
 : London, May 7.-Evidently it was Ed hem Pasha's ability to cut in between the two Greek armies, which led to the speedy retreats which were the beginning of the end. The Greek accounts say that both retreats were orderly, but such news comes only from official sources in Athens, which are not exactly reliable. It is just possible that, so far from being orderly, they may both have ended in a panic as was the case at Larissa. Ed .henr Pasha twill almost certainly follow ito prevent Gen. Smolenski from rejoin- ing the. .madn. army
 I; In amy event General Smolenski is now cut off from all chances of embarking lon the Cheek vessels at Volo. He must either surrender to the Turks or en- ideavor to reach Lanai by the difficult mountain paths, so that everything in- dicates that Greece will be compelled to sue for peace in order to save the rem nant of hr army from destruction. The absence of Greek cavalry at Pharsalos left the Greeks in complete ignorance of the movements of the Turks, and it is an- other instance of the general incompe- tency of the Greek staff. General Sfno- lenski has admitted that long habits of guerilla warfare have made the Greek Srnly helpless against modern military strategy. 1t is now believed that the end would come much sooner but for the 3dlfficu1ty the Turks have experienced in bringing adequate supplies of ammuni- stion for magazine rifles and modern artil- lery over the mountain passes.

THE FIGHT BEFORE PIARSALOS

 Greeks Cut Off From Athens.

Vividly Described by a Correspondent--
 Greeks Cut of From Athens
 London, May 6.-The Daily Mails cor Pharsalos telegrapbing yesterday morn ing says:
 Yesterdays CWednesdays) battle was most sublime as spectacle and the most decisive of the entire war. It was not intended at the beginning that the fight should be regular pitched engagement, but on the arrival of Edhem Pasha at the outposts, furious firing began. fs
 The weather v; cool and the sky somewhat cloudy, after a thunder storm, The village of Pharsalos could be seen huddled as it were under line of low peaked hills. Higher and around about were black hills rising behind the others while between us and the village ran the small stream known to the affciefltS as Rapeus crossed by a bridge by the railway t0 3I7
 Between the stream and the village were excellent positions we'll defended by .arthworks. Their advance line con sisted of two brigades and their reserve of two and a half brigades, altogether about 10000 men; against these were 50,- 900 Turks. The artillery began the ,epu gagement. the Greeks practice being much better than usual, but after two hours they began to retire across the 1lVer. This was great mistake as they were thus enclosed between the riversand mountains with no hope of deploy.
 The fight was hotly contested In some instances the Greeks fought obstin- ately. The endurance and dash of the. Turks were magnificent too. I reached the battlefield with a regiment. whose men immediately began to run forward dancing under the fire and shouting like children, when they saw the enemy The Greeks repulsed them vigorously and followed up the repulse. .l',, as
 The Turks had formed a semi circle of laundering batteries and cracking bat talions. The division on the extreme right tried to cut off the retreat to Do mokos while the remainder of the forces flung itself upon Pharsalos.
 The battle was but little like the bat ties described in books. There was no firing of volleys, no bayonet assaults, no rush, no cheering, but only a steady, 1eisurely advance into the open in perfect order. There was some individual firing and the soldiers shouted, Allah. Allah" till the constant repetition swelled into one heavy monotonouS shout like the "hear, hear" of the house of commons. l saw some men suddenly fling up their hands and fall face downward, but the Greek fire in the main was ineffective
 Before o'clock the last village north of the river had been taken. Then the village of vasili and the entrenchments near the river were stormed with consid- erable loss to the Turks and the battle ceased at nightfall, the flanking division having established itself behind the Greeks and cut off the best line of re- trEat Athens

 Athens, May 6.--.Austria and Germany have joined the other powers in pro posing mediation between Greece and JTurkey. Gen. Smolenski is retreat ting Slowly and in orderly fashion to Almdro, and Volo has been almos: completely evacuated. The forces under Prince Consta ntine reached Domokos almost un- molested and have not been attacked to- day. Ut appears that the great massing of Turkish troops and ;heir movements led to suspicion that an attack was be- ing projected to surround Pharsalos. A council of, war was held in the Greek camp, and it was decided to retire to Domokos, which was reached this morn ing at dawn. The Greeks promptly oc- cupted ,stpong positions on the mountain range overlooking Domokos. u,Du1ing "Wednesday night the Turks continued to execute movements with a view of outf1anking Pharsalos, and only discovered at dnybreak this morning chat the Greek army had retired.
