SYMPATHY FOR GREECE.
But the United States Must Main
tain Its Neutrality in Euro
pean Affairs.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 22-In the
House tomorrow. Representative James
G. Mcguire OF California will introduce
a resolution expressing sympathy for
Greece. 1t says:
WHEREAS, In the war now in progress be.
tween Greece and Turkey there is clear con-
fict between Moslem and Chris tian civiliza-
tion affecting large portion of the con ntinent
OF Europe; and whereas, the advance of Mos
lem civilization in Europe has ever been a
blighting and retarding influence, and
brought with it and maintain ed constant and
universal conditions of violence and misery
to all peoples affected, demonstrating the
absolute impossibility of race assimilation or
successful Moslem government in Europe
therefore be it
Resolued That the House of Representatives,,
voicing the sentiment of the great ma jority of
the people of the United States, hereby ex-
presses sympathy with the Government and
people OF Greece in their heroic effect TO pre-
vent the extension of the Turkish dominion
in Europe, and TO set free from dominion in
Turkey such provinces now in rebellion as
have been ruled By Turkey only through
means of murder and terror.
Resolved, While expressing the profound
sympathy OF tho people of the country with
the Government ana people of Greece, we
favor the continuance of the long-esta blished
policy of neutrality upon the part OF the
United States in all struggles between Euro.
pean powers.

concluding with prayer for full disch arge

EssIoN OF THE HOUSE.

1t Is Decided to Consider Senate Amend-
ntpnts in Committee of The Whole.
WASHINGTON, d. c., April 22.-The
proceedings OF the House to-day gave
every Indication of that body being thor
oughly organized and equipped for work.
This seeming aoquiescence in the demand
for policy of action was not reached until
Bailey had scored the first two victories as
the leader OF the minority. There was the
us ual Intellectual meeting of the Com nit
tee on Rules, lasting an hour, which pre-
ceded the session. and the first business
suggested was by Dalzell of Pennsylvania,
who presented a report OF the Committee
on Rules. providing that until the appro-
priation bills have been finally acted pom
10 cor slider the Senate amendments with
out reference to a committee.
This provoked discussion, a notable
feature which was the effort OF Repre-
sentative Robson CD of Tennessee to ad-
wise Bailey as to the effect of a desultory
debate before the adoption OF the pre-
vious question. which DaizeIl had moved
Bailey informed his associate he vas per-
f city awar of what he was doing and of
the effect upon the parliamentary situa-
ton. He suggested an amendment to the
rule so as to apply it to the Indian app.o-
priation bill alone, leaving other bills to
be dealt with as they came before the
House. This was agreed to by Dalzell.
Bland vigo. ously protested against this
course of dealing with the Indian bill.
The House had a right, he said, to its
committees, and these matters should be
referred to them. Dalzell sarcastically re-
ma ka6 hot he rinh ,f ha
from Missouri to present
Bland (vehe mently)-I protest against
IL OF your arbitrary proceedings.
Dalzeil-Of course, We understand that.
The resolution was agreed 10 as modi-
fed, and the consid Grafton of Senate
amendments TO the Indian bill was en-
tered upon without limit or debate. Bailey
secured the next parliam entary victory by
having all amendments to the bill re-
ferred TO the com mmittee of the whole for
action, against tue efforts of Sherman (R.)
of New York, in charge of the bill, and
the suggestion that Speaker Reed divide
the amendments between the House and
the committee of the whole
Discussion in committee of the whole
was opened by Bland, who emphasized
the protest he bad previously made against
the manner of procedure. Nearly two
hours were spent in discussing the amend
ments of the Senate to open the Un-
compahgre reservation in Utah in Janu-
ary. Without disposing of the matter the
committee rose.
Steele of Indiana announced the death
of his colleague, Holman. The usual reso-
lutions were adopted and the House
adjourned.

through which he must pass, and to credit
the Greeks with cowardice and their lead
ers with entire lack of generalship, in the
face of the proof to the contrary that they
have given at Miiouna and Reveni passes
and other points within the last week.
From the frontier to the plains of Larissa
ihe Turkish commanders way was con-
tinual descent, being always able to over
look the Greek troops in front of him, and
with his superior forces successful resist
ance in the end was hardly to be ex-
pected.
From Larissa to the Gulf of Lamia three
routes lie before him. One to the west
along the Peneus to the junction OF the
Phusulites and thence southeast along
that stream to the city of Phasala and on
to Lamia the second, directly south
through the Kara Dagh Mountains to that
city, and the third along the line of the
highway and railroad toward Volo. and
thence south along the coast to Halmyros
and over the Yuakovani Mountains to
Lamia.
The second route is the most direct and
is perhaps as practicable for an invading
army as either of the others. 1t Is the
main highway to Athens. With proper
generalship an inferior force could make
stand and delay. if not repulse. an invad-
ing army at a hundred d fferent points
along the road. overlooked as it is ty hills
which, beginning five miles south of Lar
issa, rise gradually to the crest of the
ridge some 2500 feet high which overlooks
The valley of the Phersaiitis River and the
city of Phersala on the south side. Even
with this journey accomplished and Pher-
sala reached the same conditions would
prevail and the same opportunities for de-
tense, only to a greater degree, until he
reached the crest of the Ortheys Noun
tains overlooking the city of Lania and
the gulf near which it is situated.
The road from Pheisula begins ascent
to the high ground through defile or
pass, which has ever been famous for its
defensible features. and many other such
are IN the way until through the high
valleys of the Tchianari the road takes its
way up over the summit of Ortheys, which
it crosses a an elevation of 2500 feet.
Should the Turks, in spite of all opposi-
ton reach Lamia, the city would be un-
tenable for them with the Greek war
vessels armed with their high power canet
guns, five miles away in the gulf From
Lamia. the road passes Thermopyl@, and
with the exception of one place at
Anteras point, for thirty-five miles runs
within a mile of the coast. and is exposed
to fire from vessels in AtaIanta Channel.
Admitting that no practical opposition
is offered to Edhem's advance between
Larissa and Lamia-cut off from CON-
munication with Salonika by sea and
com pelled to maintain LONG inland line
OF transportation over rough country
the m latter of advancing as far as Lamia
Is matter of many weeks if not months.

CHIEF JOSEPH
IN new YORK
Visit of the Nez Perces
Leader to the Metro
polls.

NEW YORK, n. Y, April 22.-Chief
Joseph of the Nez Perces, the leader OF
the Wallowa Valley rebellion in 1877 and
next to the Sioux warrior, Red Cloud. the
most prominent Indian alive, arrived
here, with suite. to see the city's sights,
at the special request of General Miles. W ho
conducted the campaign against the chief
twenty years ago. and who from being a
relentless foe became a friend and ad-
wiser of the old Indian. Buffalo Bill has
taken Chief Joseph under his wing.
In all his life Chief Joseph has never
been so far away from home. The largest
city he was ever in before was Portland,
Or, and he left there In disgust after two
days because of the ways of city people.
Now York has Interested the chief on
account of its size and architectural won
ders, but he has not much more patience
with the East than he had with the West.
He said to-day:
It's three weeks since I left the reser-
vation in Washington. / left behind $50
Nez Perces, friends OF the white man,
who ask through me that they be allowed
to return 10 our old home in Idaho.
There are 1000 of my tribe in Idaho, and
the tribe may remain as one body. 1t
took me long time to come here, and six
days have been in Washington. There
l saw General Miles and shook his hand.
I made a speech to him and another TO a
man named Bliss, who is Secretary, who
shall say whether the Nez Perces may die
in their old homes or in a new and strange
place. / told him the wishes of the tribe
and that they are all good Indians and
have bowed down before the white man,
never to take arms against him again.
II made speech to the Indian Com.
missioner, telling him all these things.
They are my friends and will do what
they can. They told me Congress author.
lied the first act, and so the Nez Perces
will have to wait while. 1t matters lit.
tie, though, if we can join our people in
Idaho. / think it will be so. for /, who
have been the friend OF the white man for
twenty years, am pleading for them. The
white man has won all he has and from
hating him We have come to love him.
There were too many whites for the In
dians to rule, so the whites won the In
dams place. 1t is all over nov. Things
have settled themselves and we are at
peace and satisfied

WASHINGTON. D. c., April 22.-Sen-
ator Pettigrew to-day submitted his views
on the investigation recently held by the
Public Lands Committee on alleged
fraud in issuing patents on land in Florida
known as the Perrine grant. Pettigrew
attacked the majority report. which ex-
onerated the land Office of allegations of
irregularity, and says it is beyond compre-
hension how they could leach such con.
clusion from the evidence. He contends
that no honest officers would have proofs
of compliance in the terms of the grant,
and that the evidence in the case dis
closes condition in the land office which
demands attention from Congress. The
chic. interest in the case is that the Per-
rines are related to ex-President Cieve-
