VICTORY
CLAIMED FOR THE BRECKENRIDGE COMPANY
BY MR.. DUNLAP.
Mr.. John Dunlap, when seen this aft
ernoon, stated that the Breckenridge
Company had gained great victory
over the Barber Company and Lum ST.
mons. The bids OF the latter we're about
g. less for every square than they had
ever been before, yet, Notwithstanding
this, the Breckenridge people underbid
them and will no doubt get the work
when the contracts are let tomorrow.
Mr.. Dunlap said that the bids, when
calculated, would probably make the
cost Of paving block about $500 or ST.
900 less than it has ever been before for
asphalt work.
Altogether there are six blocks which
are to be paved, 80 this will make a
saving to the city Of about $1,000. The
bids for the granite and vitrified brick
streets were also less than they were
heretofore.
Before the bids were opened this
morning a letter was received from
Anderson, Tabler & Co., in which they
complained that they could not enter a
bid on account of the specifications, and
asked that the letting be postponed for
short time, and that the specifications
be changed in order to let number Of
other asphalt companies compete, who
are now barred out.
The board ordered the letter to be
filed, but took no action upon it.

REFORM.

Official Statistics Show Many
Government Employees Protect

WASHINGTON April 1i-tSpecial. THE
civil service reform question is now upper
most In the minds of great many states
men. They are troubled by the problem
of how to revoke some of the civil service
orders issued by President Cleveland, so
as to throw open to executive appointment
few OF the Offices fer which the faithful
are clamoring. In this connection 1t is in
teresting to inquire just what share OF the
government employees are now under the
protection of the civil service law. Fortu-
nately official statistics bearing on this
point have just been prepared. They show
that there are In the executive civil service
a grand total of 1877 employees, Of
whom 81 l0S are dealt with In one way or
another by the civil service commission,
while 81 500 remain outside the jurisdio-
ton of that board. More than two-thirds
of the latter, however, are postmasters.
Government Employees.
These government employees are distrib-

MORE DETAILS OF THE RAID

The Greeks Lost Ell Killed and FL Wound
ed, While the Turks Loss Was Greater.
LARIssA, April 12-The latest in.
formation received here on the subject
of the raid shows that the invading in
surgents first advanced toward Chas-
sanga. 1t is reported that the Turks
opposed the attack with artillery. The
Greek losses were 23 killed and 81
wounded The Turkish losses are said
to have been much greater.
1t is rumcred that yet another attack
was made on the TurSs at the rear Of
Mount Olympus, where the Greeks sue
ceeded in planting a flag.
Stringent orders have been issued
against Irregular lighting. and the pen
atty of death will be imposed for any
infraction. The general impression
here is that war will be proclaimed to.
morrow The position of affairs is crit
ical. Although the Turkish army has
not yet assumed the offensive, orders to
that effect from the sultan are expected
at any moment. All classes of the
troops are full OF war enthusiasm.
Some details are at hand at last as to
the slxirmish near Gravena. On Thurs
day morning 1000 Euzonoi uniformed
and commanded by Greek officers,
crossed the frontier near Baltimon and
advanced to point near Gravena. Here
they met detachment of the Fifteenth
chasseurs, on picket duty in the woods,
and hemmed them in. After two hours
of hard fighting the Sixth battalion of
chasseurs came to the recue, under the
command of Islam Pasha and drove the
Euzonoi back to the frontier. The in
surRents lost 100 killed.
The object of the invaders is to make
their way through the mountain passes
and to cut off all communication be-
tween Macedonia and Epirus. Once
well intrenched in the mountain ranges
it would take "a whole army corps to
dislodge them.

HUATERITES GROWING DESPERATE.

FRANKFORT, KY, April ~ special
Correspondence 1.-The gales of March
have not cooled the fever, brow of the
warning Republican factions, nor blown
away the alleged breath Of suspicion
which is said to have rested over The big
white wigwam of the "Great Chief +,
But they have rather served to fan into
hotter fl ,me the fighting spirit OF the
Hunterites, who are as desperately de-
termined to win as the Indians were to
whip Custer ON that memorable day
back in 1876. The breath OF popular
wrath has tried to blow down the char
acter Of the leading contestant for Legs-
lative Senatorial honor, but il remains
to be seen whether this will ultimately
prove successful or rank failure My
opinion to-day is that II Hunter is not
elected in the joint ballot which will be
taken Tuesday be will be not later than
Thursday. say this advisedly, for be.
lieve the Cumberland fighter has on his
war paint and is mastering his forces for
an attack that will win success in spite OF
all obstacles.
The bribery sensations, which were
sprung at an impolitic time when viewed
from Democratic standpoint, are to be
investigated, but while the political sore
is being probed into, the doctor will see
to it that he loses no ground. His Lieu
tenants are crying persecution" and are
trying hard to bring about revulsion Of
feeling in favor of the medicine man."
Whether they are making much head
way or not may be copjectured when
say that three anti-Hunter RAIDS have
promised to support Hunter il he needs
their votes on Tuesday. This seems to
indicate an election.

EASTERN WAR
BEGUN.
Bands of Greeks Have Crossed the
Mac DOMAIN Frontier.
MANY OF THE INVADERS ARE
KILLED.
The Entire Greek Army will
Move Forward Within the
Next Few Days.

ATHENS, April 12.-Acco1nts are very
conflicting as to what really happened
last Friday when the frontier was
crossed By the insurgents. a special
correspondent of the Associated Press
went to LaIissI and ascertained that
the invaders numbered upward of 5000.
Among the II were Amilcare Cipriani
and his Italan volunteers. The entire
force was under the command OF three
ex-officers of tie GIeek army, Kapsalo-
poulas, Mylanos and Ziepetros, and four
Macedonian chiefs, Zermas, Davelis,
Vrakas and Sarantio.
The rendezvous was at the KonislSos,
a vii age near Jalabak. The men were
all fully armed and wore the national
cCstlme. their black fur caps bearing
the badge and initials Of the Ethnike
Hetairia emb oidercd in blue and white,
with the words: "En Tonic Nika"
crossing the initials in black.
On Friday monk from Mount
Athos. assis ed by his abbot and two
deacons, held religious service at Kon-
iskos, at which all members of the in
vading body pai took of the sacrament
and registered the oath of the order,
Liberty or death"
During Friday night following the
service the frontier was crossed, the
force moving in tho direction OF
Schuik.
While this movement was i'll progress
a second band the number of whom is
yet unknown, had a rendezvous at Nez.
eros, ON the frontier, about 30 kilo-
meters north of Laris and near the
coast This band was similarly equipped
had q similar mission and took the same
oath. 1t was commanded by the Mace
DOMAIN chief, Sins.nikos. 1t crossed the
frontier on Thursday night, marching
ON Karya. The roar of artillery can
now be p'ainly heard at Larissa from
the direction of Karya, where Sinsini-
kos is evidently forcing matters.
General Makris and his staff, with
some knowledge of the movements
afoot which they were unwilling to i'm
port, left Saturday for Tyrnavos, the
most important Greek position near
Elassona FoIr batteries of reinforce
ments followed yesterday for the same
point.
At headquarters they deslare that
nothing is known as to the raid and
will say nothing as the probable char
acter of the raiders.
