Joseph Jefferson fulfilled last night promise to

THE FIGHTING IN GREECE.

Yesterdays battles were not favorable to the
Greek cause The gallant Hellenes were unable
TO retake Milouna Pass They were hard pressed
II not defeated ut Reveni. They were driven
out Of Tyrnavos and the latter place was occu-
pied by the Turks Since TyrnavOs Is less than
a dozen miles from Larissa, with an open plain
and a clear road between the two, the latter
place must be regarded as in imminent danger
of attack. To defend 1t against an overwhelm-
ing Turkish force will be difficult, and, as 1t Is
the chief town Of Thcssaly and the headquarters
of the Greek Army, its fall Will be serious dis
aster The Turks may then proceed down the
railroad to volo. and thus have all Thessaly In
their grasp.
On the other side Of the Pindus range tho
Greeks did not make such progress yesterday
as had been anticipated They met with some
reverses, and at Aria were put upon the de-
fensive They have not yet occupied Prevesa.
but may DO so at any time Their expedition
to the Macedonian coast OF the Gulf OF Salonica
Is also reported to have been repulsed with some
loss. What their navy is doing, apart from the
bombardment Of Prevesa does not appear. A
SQUADRON Is somewhere In the Gulf OF Salonca,
but has not yet struck n blow, and another squad
ron has sailed from the Pirnus with sealed or
ders. 1t may be that a brilliant naval stroke
will change the aspect Of affairs.
For the present the situation on land Is such
as may we'll cause anxiety to the friends or
Greece. There is this consolation, OF course,
that the Greeks are fighting with vaor worthy
of their race, and are making brave resistance
against fearful odds. 1t is also to be remem-
bered that Larissa. and all Thessaly, came into
the possession of Greece only some sixteen years
ago. Between Thessaly and Athens lie the
Mountains OF Othrys and the Pass Of Ihermopy-
la. and beyond the latter Marathon. The over
running Of Thessaly does not mean the conquest
OF Hellas. Nevertheless. there is need for every
effort to be put forth, on land and sea, II Greece
IL to be saved from the invading Turks.

LAHOR FOR BODYBUILDING.

The abnormal floods along the Mississippi
River have provoked much discussion Of ways
and means for preventing their future recur-
renee or for restraining the swollen stream
within safe limits. Some urge stronger and
higher system of lcvees others the opening OF
new, or reopcning Of old, channels through
which the river may be partly or wholly divert
ed from its present course; and others yet other
projects all, of course, involving the doing of
much work and the spending OF much money.
The further suggestion Is made, as applicable
fer the execution Of any Of these schemes, that
the manual labor required on the vast job shall
be done by the abe-bodied inmates of the pris-
ons Of the various interested States. This sug-
gestlOn Is an eminently practical one, and 1t
leads to the further suggestion that just such
Jobs afford the best possible field for tho employ
ment Of convict labor.
Country and suburban roads. for example,
which In all parts of the Union are In need Of
Improvement. This spring season is the best
of all times for bodybuilding. 1t is the very
time when farmers and villagers are most busy
with other matters and can least well devote at
tention to the roads. And 1t is the time when
the hOused-up prisoners are most In need Of
wholesome occupation in the open air. There
are three elements of the problem which uner
rngly point to lis right solution. II TO do work
when It can best be done, with the least posi-
BILE disturbance of other Industries and at the
lowest cost to the proprietor and TO the greatest
benefit to tho workmen. and, indeed, to all con
cerned-if that be business wisdom, the inmates
Of our State prisons should be set at road-mak
ing forthwith.
In that way they will get the exercise they
need, the public will get the muchneeded good
roads and there will be no competition between
convict and free labor. How much the convicts
need such work is demonstrated in the Kings
County Penitentary. where the inmates are re-
ported to be In danger Of going mad, some OF
them actually doing so, through enforced idle
ness. How much improved roads are needed
almost any suburban or rural village will tcs

ABYSSINIA'S GREAT LOSS.
Ras Makonnen, Hero of Adowa, Meets
Death in Battle.

Ras Makonnen, Hero of Adowa, Meets
Death in Battle.
Mr.. J. Bennett Stanford, who has just re-
turned from taking part in an expedition
to Somaliland, brings news Of the annihila-
tion, at the end Of June, of an Abyssinian
army Of 5000 men, under the famous Gen
ereIl Ras Makonnen, of which number only
sixty men escaped.
Mr. Stanford said: "While in the interior
we came across q powerful Somali Chief
who had Just returned from the fight. He
toldms that the Abyssinian force had been
raiding down the Webbe Shebeyli River
nearly as far as the forty fifth parallel. The
Somalls then overwhelmed them with large
numbers. allowing sixty men to so back
with the news OF the defeat. Ras Makon-
nen was killed during the battle.
"The affair occurred about one hundred
miles from where we were. The whole
neighborhood is still greatly excited, and
the possession Of so many Italian rifles by
the Somalis Is evidence that the story told
OF the Abysslnian defeat is true.
"The latest news from Harrar was that
an Abyssinian army was being despatched
against the Somalis, who were eagerly an
ticiparing another fight"
In regard to the reported massacre OF the
Cavendish expedition, Mr.. Stanford said:
"There are no expeditions In Somaliland to
massacre. Peel, who was with me, Is away
to the south; Lord Delamere Is near Lake
Rudolph, Major MacD onald Is on the trade
route, toward Uganda, and Cavendish,
when last heard Of him, was on the
Ktkuyu road"
