marily to a fall he sustained early this

ing badly, and his condition grew

that the end was near. He passed
away without regaining consciousness.

Captured Turkish Stores.

Athens, April 26.-After the bonn
bardment of katerina, on the Gulf OF
SalOnica, by the Greek squadron had
put to flight two battalions OF Turks
and the inhabitants Of that place. the
Greek fleet landed detachment and
found the Turks had left behind i'm
mense stores of provisions destined for
the armies of Edhem Pasha. These
valuable stores had been left unprotect-
ed in the belief by the Turks that a
blockade of Greece by the fleets OF the
powers would prevent the Greek fleet
from attacking the Turkish towns in
the Gull of salonica, which is near the
railroad to Salonica, and which has
been used as point to land stores for
the Turkish army and forward them to
the front.
The capture of these towns, not to
mention the loss of the stores, places a
serious difficulty in the path of Edhem
Pasha, and it is stated here that as soon
as the Turkish commander-in-ch
heard the news of the capture of Plato
mona and Katerina he dispatched 10, :
600 men toward the coast Of Macedonia,

Will Hit Hard.

Ottawa, April 20.-The new tariff
announced by the government will hit
the United States pretty hard. In that
regard it is popular here, but doubly
so on account of the preference il
makes in favor OF British goods. These
preferential terms for Great Britain
and other countries disposed to receive
Canadian products at favorable rates,
the finance minister explained in par
lament would be in the form OF re-
ductions from the general list at one
eighth for the first year, and after that
period they would be one-quarter of
the rate in the general tariff. These
reductions would apply to all schedules
except those imposing duties intended
for revenue on such articles as wines,
tobacco, cigars and cigarettes.
