THE WAR IN Characterization Sc.
we're fighting the Greek army was
driven from all its positions at and
near Pharsalos last week and forced
to fall back. 1t is clear that the
Greeks cannot stand against the
great odds brought against them by
the Turks. There is much talk now
OF an Intervention of the powers,
and it is more than probable that
they will soon interfere and put an
end to the unequal struggle. The
Turks, ii is said, will claim war in
demnity of several millions, a read
justment of the boundary line, that
Greece withdraw her troops from
Crete and surrender her war vessels
as security for the payment of the
indemnity. What the powers will
say to these demands, if made, re-
mains to be seen.

The Silver Democrats announced with
boldness that they would vote for
Bradley if at any time they saw by SO
doing they could elect him. The Gen
eral Assembly adjourned without TAX
ing second ballot.
The several forces in Kentucky's Sen
atorial struggle are lined up like armies
ready to battle. The two ballots already
taken were but strengthening skir-
mishes, and no one knows which side
will make the first real attack To-
night it is whispered that the anti
Hunter Republicans are ready to act,
and are urging the Democrats who are
in the Bradley coalition scheme to make
the dash intended ON tomorrow.
Hunter, with six boiling Republicans,
has secured three Democratic votes,
and is putting forth every effort to Sc
cure the two additional votes necessary
to his election. The anti-Hunter coai
ton propose to hurry up matters to
prevent his securing these votes. When
the break shall come and more than the
six boiling Republicans go to voting
with the Democrats for Bradley it is
believed some of the free silver Dem
ocrats will turn to Hunter and make
the finish fight one of the closest and
most exciting on record.

When the vessel struck there was a

and some fog, and try as they would
the crew of the Rockaway Life Saving
Station were unable to launch the boat
or render any aid to the men on the
imperiled vessel. AS soon as the storm
abates sufficiently to enable the life
savers to launch a boat, the crew on
the distressed ship will be rescued.
There is danger of the schooner going to
pieces, in which event it would be al
most impossible to rescue the crew.

saving crew at Mount Pleasant tele-
graphs that the Clyde steamer Sag
inaw is ashore eight miles south of
Barnegat Inlet.
The steamer was bound from Haytian
ports for New York with a cargo of
coffee, logwood and a crew of thirty
five men. The vessel lies easy. The
crew is still on board.
Captain Mulligan of the life-saving
station at Monmouth Beach reported

DR.. ARTHUR MARTEN.
His Efforts to be Released From the
Insane ASyIum.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 24.-Dr.
Arthur Marten, who is at present an
inmate of the Mendocino Asylum for
the Insane as one dangerous to be at
large, appeared before the Supreme
Court to day to show why a writ of
habeas corpus should issue releasing
him from custody. He appeared as his
own attorney.
His principal contention was that he
had been committed to the ASYLUM
without a proper examination, and in
support C his charge he presented a
lengthy petition setting forth that
Judge Belcher. who committed him to
the asylum, acted upon testimony given
when he was not present TO defend him
self. This action. DR.. Marten said, was
tyrannical. as he was not insane, and
probably never would be SO.
He alleged also that his witnesses
had not been summoned, and altogether
he had been shown little justice or
mercy.
In opposition to DR. Martens petition
Assistant District Attorney summoned
Judge Beicher to the stand. He testi-
fed that Marten had been regularly
committed, two lay witnesses and two
medical experts having been examined
as required by the statutes. Two of
these witnesses. Officers Holbrook ard
Cody" said Judge Belcher, were ex-
amined in Martens presence. The med
fcal expert Is were heard a day later
when the subject was not present.
Doctors Wendell and Wadsworth
who had advised Martens incarcera-
ton. testified that he had been regu
