Defendants Plead Not GuiIty-WOrIS
of Choosing q Jury.

NEW YORK. June S.-The trial OF the
case against the officers and directors Of
the American Tobacco Company. who
were indicted fifteen months ago for con-
spiracy. was begun In the Court Of Gene
raj Sessions to-day before Judge Fitz-
gerald. The ten defendants in the case
are James Il. Duke. president: William
II. Butler, vice-prefdent; Josiah Brown.
secretary; Charles G.. Emery, treasurer,
and William A. Marburg, Lewis Ginter,
George Arents. George w. Gail, Benja-
min NJ. Duke. and George w. Watts, di
rectors.
Josiah Brown was the only defendant
in court. The others are scattered all
over the world, but the case can go on
without them. as the offence is only a mis-
demeanor. and their presence is not re-
quired.
Papers on behalf Of the defendants not
present We're filed. giving Mr.. Choate
power Of attorney to represent them. They
pleaded not guilty.
The work OF choosing jury was then
begun. and when court adjourned for the

toned upon the subject. however, nau no
definite news OF an Official character anu
expressed the opinion that the report was
without foundation. 1t Is said on goou
authority that the Powers are now try
ing TO induce Turkey to sign generai
peace conditions. defining broad limits
within which Turkey and Greece should
afterward settle details by direct negotia-
tion.
This news is regarded at Athens with
dsmay, as a breach of faith on the part
Of the Powers, and as leaving Greece TO
the tender mercies Of the Sultan. 1t Is
believed by many good judges at Athens
that Greece may yet have to fight for
her very existence. Already there are
reports that the Turks have advanced in
the Agrappa District, and occupied seve-
raj villages. and are still advancing to-
ward the town of Agrappa. Greece has
protested TO the Powers against this vlo-
lation of the armistice, and Colonel Tosa-
mandos. the Minister Of War, has gone

thanks OF the government 10 The Greeks

said: "The government does not forget
that the armstice is not peace. and that
it is our duty to be prepared for every
eventuaiity"
OPINION FROM MILES.
The Greek newspapers all publish the
statement made by General Miles that
the positions at Thermopylae are i'm
pregnable.
Advices from Constantinople are equally
pessimistic. 1t is alleged that Tewfk
Pasha. at Saturdays meeting OF the
council of ministers, announced that the
Sheik-ul-Islam had issued a fetva de-
claring that territory once acquired by
the sacrifice OF Ottoman blood cannot,
under the Ottoman law. be surrendered
II this be true, it will require good
deal of persuasion to induce the Sultan
TO retire from Thessaly.
In addition to this report comes the
rumor that Bulgaria has made an in
formal demand that Macedonia. with the
exception of the province Of Adrianople,
shall be formed into an autonomous ad-
ministration.

storm. Its an i'll wind that blows no one any good" and this storm has oper- ated to the loss of some, and to the great advantage of others. All work of cutting wood, getting out lumber, etc., has had to be suspended for the present, causing some loss and great inconvenience to many, while to others 1t has brought joy. Leger says that he could easily have used six more teams Sunday if he had only had them. But the man that smiles the most and longest Is J. G. Wightman. John was heard to say, only day or two before the storm, that he had his next winters stock of sleighs all bought, but the storm changed things for him. He has only a few left, and, as he prefers money rather than sleighs, you can get one at a bar gain. While travel in the vicinity of the village was somewhat obstIu ucted on both Thursday and Friday, 1t gave an opportu- nifty to Selectman Glover to employ 8 number of men in digging out the drifts. Later developments go to show, however
 that obstruction to travel in the back dis. tricts was much more serious than was al first anticipated. On Monday, George Cooley, who lives some ways above Staf
 fordville, managed, by going portion oi the way through the woods, to reach F.
 J. Glover and report to him the serious condition of affairs in his section. Ther residents of the north end of the Street
 who work in the mill at Hydeville, or hac any occasion to go there, were obliged tc come back and go around the Hollow ir order to reach their destination. Orcutt
 vile also reported blocked roads tha
 would have to be cleared. On Tuesday morning Selectman Glover, with teams and gang of men, made another star fer these places in order to get the roads
