Athens. April 26-The news of the loss
of Matt was received here during the
small hours of Saturday morning. The
premier and the minister Of war We're I'M
mediately summoned to the palace, where
a council of the ministry sat until after
daybreak. There was some diffareilce of
opinion. but it was finally decided, in
view of the exhaustion of the Greek
troops and the numerical superiority of
the Turks, to order a retreat TO Phar-
salia.
This decision was a wise one, for the
defenses of Larissa are not strong, and
the open plain favors the operations of
the Turkish cavalry. The Greek stand
will be made at Pharsalia, which may
again become the scene of a memorable
battle. The battle Of Matt lasted all Fri
day, the Greeks defending their positions
with great inJrepidity. Prince Constan-
tine and Prince Nicholas were both con-
tinually under fire, and the latter greatly
disting uished himself. The Turks. strong
ly reinforced, succeeded in breaking the
Greek lines at 6 in the evening. The
Turkish cavalry delivered repeated mag
nifcent charges. The fighting continued
into the night.
Gloom at Athens.
Athens, April 26-It is useless to deny
that a very gloomy outlook of the war
formed. There are, however, no signs of
panic. The city exhibits an attitude of
dignified endurance, while many persons
still show an unahated enthusiasm for
fight. This symptom is particularly no.
ticeable amoung the wounded now in
Athens. Their one desire seems to be
healed in order that they may rejoin their
colors. Naturally this spirit is much
fostered by the confirmation of the re-
ports that the Turks have burned the
Greek wounded in church at Kurtzivoli
The Turks lighted fires under the bodies
of the wounded, who implored their com
rades to kill them. Others committed
suicide Although it is said that the
Greeks carried off all their guns from
Tyhnavo and Larissa, and also destroyed
provisions at both places, they could not
transport the guns at Pharsalia. 1t is re-
luctantly believed by some in Athenian
circles that the retreat was somewhat
disorder!y, and that some of the guns
We're abandoned with but feeble defense.
1t seems probable, however, that in the
main the retreat was in good order.
Naturally all sorts of reasons are ad-
vanced to explain the Creek retreat, the
more candid admitting that the Turks
were too strong.

our laws upon naturalization,
and his application should be
granted, if he is shown by the
testimony to be a man attach
ed to the principles of the con

the good order and happiness
of the same. It is suggested
that the proof fails in this res
pect and the objection appears
to be based upon the ground
minated in the briefs of his
inability to understand or ex
plain principles. That the ap
plicant is lamentably ignorant
is conceded; and that he is un
able to read and write, the ties

the testimony also discloses
that he is a very good man,
peaceable and industrious, of

not of the journal, but Of the
New York Commercial Adver
tiser, which he says is the old
est newspaper of the metropolis,
having been founded in 1927.
Mr.. Caruthers still cherishes
pleasant recollections of his
early journalistic career, when
he reveled in all the joys that
attend the average editor of a

this period of his life rs fol-

A RULING ON
CITIZENSHIP.
Judge Maxey Holds that Mex
leans May Become Natur
allied Citizens.

San Antonio, Tex, May 8
In the United States circuit
court today Judge T. S. Maxey
handed down his decision in
the fomous Mexican naturaliza
ton case. At the May term
1890 of the federal court, Ri
cardo Rodriguez, citizen Of
Mexico, filed an application to
become a naturalized citizen of
the United States. Two aft
davits, embodying the essential
requisites prescribed by the
naturalization. At the hearing
of the application, Attorney
A ]. Evans and t. ] McMinn
appeared for the purpose of
contesting the same on the
grounds that the applicant is
not a white person, nor an AT
rlcan, ror of African descent
and is therefore not capable of
becoming an American citi
zen"
The opinion is quite lengthy
and in an exhaustive review of
the naturalization laws and
treaties Of the United States
Judge Maxey, while admitting
that the applicant is not a white
person, an African or of Afr
can descent, as provided in the
United States constitution, yet
he is within the spirit if not the
letter of the law, and is com
petent to become a citizen.
Referring to a number of su
preme court opinions and 9th
er authorities bearing on the
naturalization question, the
court closes its opinion as fol
lows: "After a careful and pa
tent investigation of the ques
ton. the court IS of tlle opinion

COUNTY RAHR0AD
RONDS.


An amendment 10 the Con
Elituiion will he submitted 10
the voters of Texas al the spe-
cial election next August which
if carried will allow certain
counties in this State 10 issue
bonds In aid of railroad con
siruclion. OF the wisdom of
such an amendment there is no
question and many excellent
reasons can be found why such
power should be conferred up
on people long deprived OF
necessary traffic communica-
ton with the railroad systems
of the State. In the lower Rio
Grande section and in West
Texas the population is scarce
aid the country more or less
undeveloped. 1t is difficult TO
secure the co operation OF out
side capital in the building of
railroads in such a territory
and the residents and land own
ers in said territory have not
the money necessary to build
the roads themselves.
The people being given the
authority would be perfectly
willing TO incur the Bonded
indebtedness peeseessary to Sc
cure railroad for the debt
would be paid gradually and
imperceptibiy, every property
owner would be compelled to
contribute according to his pos
sessions and all would share
prop0rtfonately in the benefits
accruing. The increase in value
to the lands alone the first year
after the road was built would
be far more than the total face
value of the bonds issued to
secure it. In addition to this,
us the matter is one Of local
option there is no reason why
the people of county should
not be allowed to do what they
think is best for their own in
terests and no one who is not
directly interested has a real
right TO prevent this move to
ward wider self government
or home rule.
1t has been suggested, how
ever, that this amendment
might be defeated through a
misunderstanding of its appli
cation. This is possible for the
reason that while only a small
portion of the State is affected
the people of the entire State
vote upon the proposition. The
ballot as it will read defines the
territory to which the change
in the law will apply as follows:
"For the amendment 10 sec
