or to say what are his plans. Many of his
friends are urging him to demand an imme-
diate trial and that he stay in the race at
least till he is vindicated, as they do not
believe there is any danger that the indict-
ment for conspiracy to bribe will stand the
test or Judicial scrutiny. Others, however,
declare that any jury that. might be se-
cured in Franklin county would be preju-
dlced against Hunter, and that he should
let the matter go over till September.
Mr.. h. T. Franks, who is Jointly indicted
with DR.. Hunter and the rest, said tonight
that they had not yet had a consultation
on this point, and that he did not know
what conclusion would be reached There

PROTECTING NEW ORLEANS.
More Laborers tn BE Put to Work On
the CarroIIton Levee.

NEW ORLEANS. April 1s.-Contrary to
expectations the river at this point did not
touch the twenty-foot mark to-day. The
river may be pronounced stationary at ISIS.
The excitement concerning the condition OF
the levee at Carrollton has been more or less
at fever heat to-day but on the authority
of the best-informed engineers and levee di-
rectors il Is stated that no extraordinary
cause for uneasiness exists. A reporter to-
day inspected the levee over which there
has been so much debate and it seemed TO
be in excellent shape. This afternoon a
meeting OF the New Orleans levee board
was held at Carrolton and the board met
a delegation of prominent and wealthy cit
liens. The meeting was entirely har-
monious. the board willingly consenting TO
have an advisory committee OF citizens CO.
operate with them. Ample financial back
ing was guaranteed the board. and as a
consequence after the conference adjourned
two hundred additional laborers were put
TO work and this force will be doubled to-
morrow. The action OF the joint committee
Is in no way intended TO be construed into
a reflection on the previous work effected
by the board, but simply a precautionary
measure To make assurance doubly sure.
The Carrollton levee appears 10 pe easily
able TO bear rise of two feet more water.
The situation IN this city does not appear
at this time To be- any more critical than
upon preceding days. At Plaquemine La,
the river has risen In the past twenty-four
hours two-tenths OF "a foot and IL now

FIGHTING STRENGTH.
The Armies and Navies of Greece and
Turkey Compared.

The fighting strength of Turkey on land
is far superior to that of Greece. The lat
ter nation has a well organized army but
one Of not half the size of that of Turkey
Her navy is far the superior, however
tinople If the powers will let her alone.
Her frontier is so mountainous that the
defense of it is half provided for by ma
ture. She will be aided further by the GER
tain uprising of Christian Turkish prov
inces which have been waiting for the op-
portunity. Turkey will have to divide her
army and fight in more than one part of
her empire. While the fighting strength
of Greece on land is scarcely over 200 900
regular soldiers. it is estimated that with
sympathizers she will have in the field a
soldiery of more than 10000 This soldiery
to large extent has been under centuries
of Turkish misgovernment. 1t is fighting
for home and for an Independent govern
ment. 1t is lighting for the Greek religion
and, further, for the realization of the
dreams Of Greece TO restore its nation to
something of its former grandeur.
The Greek believes that Athens may rise
again to her one-time power in literature
the arts and in war. But not with the
Turk just across the water and on her
frontier. She must first have him out Of
the way, and she evidently thinks that
some great influence IN Europe will aid
her.
