It used u be the strongest argument
1t levied a tax on the necessities OF the
poor, and no matter how heavy this tax
was, paradozical as it may seem, 1T was
was always called free trade. nThis
twisted notion grew very largely out of
the fact that England has free trade on
nearly all articles of >imports and raises
her revenue largely from liquor, tea,
coffee and Il few other articles of com
mon family use. ProtectiOnists have
always denounced this practice, and it Is
with some degree Of surprise hat We
must now learn that the protective
measure before the United States senate
is designed to levy quite heavy duties
upon sugar, tea coffee and many other
articles now regarded by even poor
families as necessities. Under such
duties there is no question hat the
poorer classes will have to bear the
greater portion Of the burden Of govern
ment support. This has been the prac-
tIce 10 all ages and it is apparently fast
becoming the fact IN the United States.

Superior ty of Strength Won the Day for
the Turks at Pharsalos.
LARIssA. May S.-A dispatch from
PharsalOs describes the battle there. 1t
says: A Turkish corps first appeared
on the summit of Mount Tekke during
the morning. From a f~ormidably in.
trenched position on the hillside they
attacked the Fourth regiment OF
Evzones about noon. The latter made
a strong resistance, but were finally
compelled to fall slowly back.
The Turks then cannonaded and de.
stroyed the village Of Ordskoni. The
crown prince having ordered the entire
army to draw up in line of battle, the
Creeks advancing about 2 m, the
Turks, numbering 5000, Immediately
descended the slopes of Mount Tekke
and planted batteries, which began tf
lombard the Greek regiments. Owing
to superiority of weight the Turkish
cannon inflicted heavy losses upon the
Greeks, especially near the station
The Turks continued to advance unit

then the crown prince decided to retire

END PROBABLY NEAR.
Greece Must Sue for Peace to Save the
Remnant of Her Army.

Greece Must Sue for Peace to Save the
Remnant of Her Army.
LONDON, May 8.-Evidently it was
Edhem Pasha's ability to cut in be-
tween the tWO Greek armies which led
to the speedy retreats that are the be-
ginning of the end. The Greek ac-
counts say hat both retreats were or.
derby, but such news comes only from
official sources i'll Athens, which are
VIGOROUSLY unreliable. 1t is just pos
sible that, so far from being orderly,
they may both have ended in a panic,
as was the case at Larissa. Edhem
Pasha will almost certainly follow to
prevent General Smolenski from re-
joining the main army. In any event
General SmOlenski is now cut off from
all chance of embarking on the Greek
vessels at Nolo. He must either sur
render to the Turks or endeavor to
reach Lamia by the difficult mountain
paths, so that everything now indicates
that Greece will be compelled to sue
for peace III order to save the remnant
of her army from destruction.
1t is now believed that the end
would come much sooner but for the
difficulty that the Turks have expe.
rienced in bringing adequate supplies
of ammunition for magazine rifles and
modern artillery over the mountain
passes.

BRITISH PRESS BITTER.
Caustic Comment on the Defeat of tho
Arbitration Treaty.

Arbitration treaty.
y LONDON. Nav ..-The afternoon pa-
pers are bitter at the rejection Of th'
arbitration treaty by the United states
senate. The st. James Gazette pub.
fishes n long article headed Free
Trade and Brotherly Love" in which
it says:
Great Britain has removed every ham
pcring tariff, and thousands df miles Of
American territory, scores of her cities
and millions Of her citizens thrive by vir-
tue Of the English market alone. Yet the
senate committee has just piled up the
most vcxatious, harassing and impcne-
trablc wall of tariff any patton ever
formed against another, while the senate
itself has decided against n permanent
machinery for the peaceful settlement OF
disputes.
The Pail Mall Gazette, treating on
the same subject, says:
In its amended form, the treaty was not
worth preserving, but the principle, like
the soul of John Brown, goes march
ing IN.
The Globe says:
The heaven born measure was too adj
vanced even for the most go-ahead nation
of the world. The Boring sea arbitration
ought to have taught our statesmen hat
the American government cannot he
trusted to carry out its obligations in II
matter of this sort.
The Westminster Gazette a
The rejection of the treaty. is sufficiently
dcplorahlc, but instead Of venting wrath
upon the senators ii would seem more
profitable t ask whether the European
statesmen have not for several months
