TURKS EDISMAYED
CONTINUED SUCCESS OF THE
GREEK TROOPS REPORTED.
Turkish Battery at Ligeria Destroyed
and Turks Driven from Nezeros and
Rapsari-Greek Fleet Destroys Vast
Quantities of Ottoman Store
Edhem Pasha Recalled.

Crown Prince Constantine has stirred
Athens to a high pitch of enthusiasm over
his reports to King George of Greek sue
cesses everywhere in Thessaly. The Hell
lenic troops, under the crown prince, have
destroyed the Turkish battery at Ligeria.
The Moslems have retired from Nezeros
and Rapsari and are appalled, by the de-
struction of all their stores at Katerina
and Lithochorion. From Salonica comes
the news that after a fierce battle the
Greeks occupied Karya, a small fortified
town near Milouna Pass. Osman Pasha
has succeeded Edhem Pasha as command
er-in-chief of the Turkish armies. Ed
hem Pasha has been recalled by the sui
tan and the hero of Plevna will try to
rally the Moslem troops, who, it is on
coded, even at Constantinople, have been
outfought at all points by the Hellenes.
At C~onstantinOple the situation is re-
garded as serious, and the recall of Ed
hem Pasha is taken to be a rebuke to that
general for the n in which Crown
Prince Constantine has apparently out
generated him in all moves made on the
Thessalian border since the first skirmish
at Milouna Pass. Ahmed Hifzi Pasha

their possessions for the victorious
Greeks. Terrific fighting is reported from;
Arta, where the Turks suffered ~repulses
constantly while attempting to cross the.
bridge into the town. The Moslems were
met at each onslaught by rifle volleys and
were forced back in disorder. Again and
again, under cover of heavy cannon fire,
they tried to cross the bridge, but could
proceed no farther than the center.
Finally, in one assault, the Turkish
commander was killed, and his men fell
back in confusion, and made no more at
tempts to carry the bridge. Then the
Turkish cannon were silenced. Athens
advices say that the excitement there over
the Greek successes everywhere is in
tense, and reports from Volo say that even
women there are arming themselves to do
battle with the Turks.

The news from the vicinity of Joliet is not
encouraging to the fruit interests, the Sc
we're cold weather having killed most of
the fruit and berry buds in that section,
according to the reports.
In some sections of northern Indiana,
notably in DeKalb County, the mercury
registered Is degrees above zero Monday
night, and great injury resulted to fruit
and vegetables. The heaviest damage
was inflicted in the southern sections of
Indiana, where the fruit was farthest adj
vanced, and in the great fruit belt which
includes the counties along the Ohio river
and extends north for fifty miles. 1t is
estimated that nearly all the fruit in this
section is killed, but time may prove that
this estimate Is incorrect.

FRUIT INJURED BY FROST.
Reports Indicate that the Crop Has
Suffered Severely,

Suffered Severely.
Unseasonably cold weather during the
last three days has created the gravest
fears among the fruit growers in many
sections of the country. Through Illinois
and Indiana and the southern part Of Wis
consin the cold has been especially Sc
we're, and the reports are anything but re-
assuring. The records of the weather
department show that Tuesdays tempera-
ture was IA degrees below the average
for April, and that last Monday was IL
degrees colder than the normal.
G. d. Linney, superintendent of the
weather and crop service report for the
Chicago district, sem out a bulletin which
takes a cheerful look at the situation.
He is inclined to the belief that the fruit
buds in Illinois are not far enough ad-
vanced to be hurt by the cold weather.

years old, GreGan BORN AM is an ardent follower of the religion of he country.
When he became of g in 1889 he married Princess Sophia of Russia, who is

More Troops Forwarded.
Seventy-two new battalions of Turkish
soldiers-5O,4 400 men-have been mustered
in from the army reserves and prepared
for instant service. Greece, too, has sum-
moned all her landwehr, or militia, and
will send them to Thessaly at once. Heavy
fighting continues all along the border
from Arta to Platamona. Everywhere
the Greeks appear to have been v%ictori-
GUS or else to have held their ground
against the Turkish attacks.
SAINT Quaranta has been reduced by the
Greek squadron, which abandoned the
bombardment of Prevesa and went to the
former place, opening fire at once on the
Turkish blockhouse there. Later the
squadron returned to Corfu, having on
board eighty Christian refugees taken
from SAINT Quaranta, which was destroy
ed and the Turkish stores there burned.
The citadel of Prevesa is reported to
have withstood the furious bombardment
of the Greek ships, but it is said the town
is almost wholly destroyed. The East
ern Greek fleet, after bombarding IA
trina on the Gulf of Salonica and reducing
the town, landed a detachment and cap
tured an immense quantity of stores, in

tined for the use of Edhem Pasha's ar

Springfield Republican King Georges close family connections with many Euro pean courts lmpels some speculation as to the help he may derive from these person al sources. The list of his royal connect ions Is indeed striking. One sister Is the mother of the czar of Russia, another Is the princess of Wales and his daughter in law Is a sister of the German emperor. But the time Is long since past when family connections in royal circles can effect much the politics of Europe. The people are very jealous of being ruled through such influences and no sovereign would dare to yield to family persuasiona If they were In the least opposed to the interests" of his country. The mother of the German emperor Is daughter oi Queen Victoria, but that see.-s to have not the slightest effect upon the relations of England and Germany. Napoleon married daughter of the Austrian em. peror, but 1t had no effect upon the course of Austria in the wars that followed. Int politics of the world have run far beyond the control or the personal wishes O royal families.
