They Kissed Sophia.

London, April SO.-The Standards
correspondent at Athens says: Last
evening as the Crown Princess Sophia
was returning from a visit to the am
bulance hospital, she was Missed and
jeered by the crowd, which forced her
to return to the hospital. The ROYAL
carriage was then summoned and the
princess drove to the palace at the top
of the speed of the horses. The roTal
arms have been stripped from the car
riages in order that the occupants may
drive about unrecognized and thus
avoid similar experiences.
As another indication of popular feel
ing 1 may point out that many of the
tradesmen who were wont TO display
the royal escutchecns in front of their
shops, have removed them.
While a priest was Offering prayers
for King George and the royal family
in one of the prominent churches to-
day (Friday) he was interrupted by
protests from the congregation. The
ring leader was arrested, but the dis
order was so great that many women
fed from the interior.

But when Salonica was reached all
this was changed.
There were Two sides to the story.
While it is true the Turks gained a
great victory at Milouna and at Larissa
yet the Greeks had been vanQuishing
the Turks at other points and destroy
ing towns along the coast near this
place. So great was the Turkish dis
content with the way the war is carried
on that it is actually stated that Os-
man Pasha was sent to infuse new
courage into the army. The hero of
Plevna is very old. 1t is like asking
Bismarck to take the field or sending
Victoria around England stump speak
ing At general election, but he is
idolized by every Turk. His mere name
is tower of strength.
Salonica is quiet among its foul
smells, but all say 1.-The quiet is only
today. God knows what will be to-
morrow"
The Greek fleet of ten war vessels
is only 20 miles distant and has al
ready bombarded two towns.
1t is likely any moment TO give 10
hours notice to the people to quit the
town before a bombardment.
Austrian and Italian warships lie in
the harbor ready to take care OF their
fellow countrvmen and all strangers
requiring DTOleCllOH- III oil uOuSCo VI
the better classes men have their wives
and children in readiness for flight,
curios boxed IN and valuables of all
sorts put in portable packages and
nothing but panic meets the eye. Jews
swarm the streets selling goods and
counting money. Albanian drag omen In
quilted white petticoats bask in chairs
in the sunshine and in the concert halls,
music and beer flow together and men
and women fiirt. drink and smoke
together as if the fate of Babylon will
never be repeated.
Cablegrams from the field of battle
are all alike-all Turkish, practically
dictated by d staff officer of the COM
mander-in-chief. All dispatches thus
dictated must go via Constantinople
and are subjected TO strict censorship.
This seems quite unnecessary, because
after all Turkey must win and quickly,
unless the other powers interfere. To-
day she has almost double as many
men in the field as Greece and millions
behind ready TO take arms, While
Greece has no more men. Other CORE
spondents here are Pierre Milo of the
Journal des Debats, Paris, Stanhope of
the Herald, Roberts of the American
Legation and the London News.
These are buying tents, horses and
canned goods and arranging to secure
a military guard for the three days
journey to Larissa, only one day OF
which is by rail.

THE o. R. & N.
Latest is That Bancroft Will Not
Succeed Mcneil.

The latest rumor is that General
Manager Bancroft will not succeed Nc
Mel as the head of the Oregon Rail
way & Navigation company. This is
important because of it's bearing upon
the talked of consolidation of the Ore
gon Short Line and Oregon Railway &
Navigation.
The Butte Miner says:
Thomas F. Cakes will be president
and manager of the Oregon Railway &
Navigation company in a very short
time" said a we'll known railroad Of
fetal of this city Yesterday.
Ever since Mcneil went east and got
into so much notoriety on account of
that affair in Rochester there has been
rumors that he would soon sever his
connection with the railway company.
Many names have been mentioned for
the place but so far no mention has
been made of the name of Cakes. do
not wish my name known in this mat
ter, but 1 have positive information
from New York that the change in
management will take place within
the next Few weeks and that Cakes
will be the new man in charge OF the
O. R. & N Co., with headquarters In
Portland, Ore"
Mr. Cakes was formerly manager OF
the Oregon Railway & Navigation
company before he became president OF
the Northern Pacific, under the Henry
Willard regime. When Willard came 10
the northwest he found the nucleus OF
the o. r. & n. Co. in the shape or a
small line near Walla Walla, Washing
ton. running from the wheat belt near
that CITY down to the Columbia river.
Willard bought this short line and ex-
tended it out in different directions IN
the famous wheat belt of eastern
Oregon and Washington, and 1t was
paying proposition from the start.
Cakes was made manager OF the ROAD
and when Willard came into power IN
the Northern Pacific affairs Cakes, to
whom he had taken liking, was put
in a comfortable berth on that ROAD.
Cakes was afterward made president
of the road and later one of the three
receivers. Since the receivership ter
minated Mr. Cakes has been looking
for a. new opening and the indications
now are that he will succeed MCNEIL
as president and manager OF the
Oregon Railway & Navigation COM
pany.
There is some talk in railroad circles
of a consolidation of the Oregon snort
Line & Oregon Railway & Navigation
company The Short Line as corpora
tion holds SIC. 000, 900 worth of bonds OF
the Navigation company as part OF
it's assets. It is the opinion of some
prominent railroad men that the Two
lines could be operated as one TO a
much greater advantage than separ-
atelv and many of the security holders
of the two corporations are the same
people.
The recent meeting of the Oregon
Short Line people in Salt Lake to con-
slider the matter of throwing open the
ogden gateway did not result in any
thing definite The serious illness OF
S. H. H. Clark, president of the Union
Pacific. at ST. Louis, prevented any
action being taken. 1t is thought PROB
able that the Union Pacific interest VIII
prove powerful enough to keep the
Gateway shut TO the outside roads.

INVOLVEMENT TO
MOONSIIINERS
Present Tax on Distilled Spirits
Too High.

Washington, April 3O.-It is very
probable that the secretary of the
treasury will soon recommend to con-
ternal revenue tax on distilled spirits
and an increase on the tax on beer.
The action will be taken on the ground
that the present tax of S1.10 per gallon
is above the revenue producing point.
Some days ago Senator CullOm intro
duced resolution, which was adopted,
calling upon the secretary for his view
on the subject, and the commissioner
of the internal revenue has now in
preparation a report to the secretary
covering the facts involved. This re-
port will show that since the increase
in the tax on spirits from 80 cents to
S1.10 per gallon, Illicit distilling has in
creased TO a point almost, II not quite,
beyond control. This is the case par
ticularly in the mountainous districts
in the south. Recently evidence has
been obtained of it's existence in the
north. A short time ago a large guam
tity of illicit whisky was captured in
Atlanta and investigation disclosed the
fact that it was manufactured in Ne
braska. That it is rapidly increasing
and extending in many directions in
ternal revenue officials say is beyond
doubt. and with only the $4,000 appro-
priated by congress for the detection
and suppression of illicit distilling, the
internal revenue bureau is almost help
less to stem the tide. Just what re-
duction will be recommended is not
known. but there are reasons for be-
lieving that 80 cents. the rate con-
tanned in the Mckinley bill, will be
fixed upon.
Under the lower rate it is contended
no he ind &c toll he
law would be reduced and at the same
time the revenue would not suffer. No
definite conclusion has been reached as
to what the tax on beer shall be, but
it is altogether possible that an in
crease iwll be advised.

a. ]. Radcliffe has been named as
travelling passenger agent of the Union
Pacific in this territory to fill the va
cancy occasioned by the declination of
a. D. Stiles who was appointed to the
same position by Mr.. Lomax about
one week ago.
Mr.. Radcliffe until the date of his
mere recent designation filled the po-
sition of travelling passenger agent for
the Union Pacific out of Indianapolis.
He formerly did the same service for
the Union Pacific in Texas and is said
TO be qualified in every respect to
handle Utah and adjacent states. He
will arrive here tomorrow and COM
mence his duties at once.
Up to within a few days ago it was
generally understood that Mr.. Stiles
would come here from Omaha but pro-
tracted illness in his family has pre-
Guided any such possibility.

In sharp contrast with these risky
preparations is the one valuable spring

Turks Are Aggressive.

London, April 30.-Today's news from
the seat of war indicates the continued
advance of the Turks in both Thessaly
and Epirus, but Edhem Pasha is care
fully concealing the time and place of
his principal attack. Despite optimistic
views held in certain quarters in
Athens, the cabinet seems about to en-
ter a hopeless struggle. A comparison
between the commissariat of the two
armies sent by the English cor
respondents reveals the strength of the
Turkish force and the weakness of the
Greeks. It is a foolish illustration of
Count Won Moltke's saying that an
army goes upon its belly.
Naturally, General Smolenski makes
the most of his momentary success at
Velestino, with a view of putting fresh
courage into his men.

M. Ralli's Ideas.

Athens, April 9O.-The correspondent
of the Associated Press had an inter-
view with NJ. Rail- to day. He said:
The new cabinet has not yet had
time to frame a programme. The re-
ports from the front lacked clearness,
and I decided it would be wise TO send
two cabinet ministers to Pharsalos in
orden to encourage the army, which is
fighting valiantly, and TO investigate
the condition of affairs"
NJ Rail- added that he was not aware
of any act or proposal on the part of
the powers looking to Intervention. He
said General Smolenski had telegraphed
him that he had repealed a desperate
attack by the Turks, whose loss was
very great, and that the morale of the
Greek troops was unimpaired.

New York, April 3O.-A dispatch to

Greek defeat and everywhere there
was great rejoicing because the Greek
is detested in all of southern Europe.
In Austria Hungary and Servia it is
said the Greek individual is equal to
three oriental Jews. therefore Austria
Hungary and Servia all presented a
broad grin at the constant news of
Greek reverses. In Servia they said,
I'VE are delighted I'VE are happy
and at peace for the drst time in our
history"
