The doors are severely plain. both in de-

A z. 100000 DOLLAR FIRE.
Newport News Has Confagration at
Early Morn.

Fire broke out in the Chesapeake & Ohio
Railroad Ccmpany's pier No. o at Newport
News, Va, and before the flames were check
been done.
Two OF the company's immense piers we're
destroyed, three vessels burned to the waters
edge, n tugboat entirely destroyed and eight
persons Injured, some OF them seriously. The
flames were discovered in pier about AIS
Tuesday morning, and spread with such ra-
pidity that IL was impossible to make any
headway against them. A fierce north wind
famed the flames furiously and swept them
across the docks TO pier q, which was soon
also burning furiously.
The British steamship Clntonia, which
was loading with oil, tobacco and general
merchandise ut pier 8, was soon ablaze.
Tugs pulled her out into the middle OF the
river. where an Intellectual battle was waged
mt terrible odds against the flames that was
raging in her inflammable cnrgo. She was
burned to the water line at 10 o'clock, Tues
dny night. The Norwegian steamship Sol
veig. which was loading grain at pier o..
next caught fire. The crew managed to
escape by climbing down the hawsers to the
pier.
Meanwhile the Chesapeake & Obio's tug
Wanderer, which had csught fire, was burn
cd to the water 8 edge. The German sailing
ship, j. ID. Bschof, taking on slaves from
tho north side Of pier 6, also caught. The
flames obtained such hold on her that they
could not be conquered and she went to the
bottom.
The crew OF this vessel had a very narrow
escape from being cremated. They were
aroused by John Anderson, one OF the crew,
and were only rescued with the greatest dif.
ilcu,ty. after the captain and boatswain had
been badly burned. The heavy north wind
and tho heroic efforts Of the fire department
saved the large grain elevator OF the Ch.sa-
peako q Ohio Company from destruction.
The fire was rapidly spreading across the
conveyors that connect the elevator with the
piers, but with the ald OF locomotive and
an immense chain tho conveyors' supports
were pulled out, the conveyors themselves
torn down and this danger averted. At
o'clock Tuesday afternoon the fire had spent
, its fury ind was well under control.

VICTORY CONFIRMED.
Greeks Won a Decisive Triumph-Great
Loss TO Turkish Troops.

The Turks attacked Nelestino junction
Tuesday night last with four squadrons of
cavalry and n battery OF horse artillery. The
large force of Greeks there easily beat the
Turks of, but not before they had displaced
half dozen rails aud cut the telegraph
wires. The latter were repaired, and on
Wednesday the train service was resumed.
Fighting was renewed Wednesday night
out without special results. On Thursday
night the Turks assembled in great force in
the direction of Yelestino. and, as il was sus-
pected that they were also between this point
and Trikkala, n general attack was believed
40 be imminent. Fighting, however, occurred
only in the vicinity OF Veestino.
The Turks made an attack before dawn,
but were successfully repused. Three times
in the course of the morning was the attack
repeated, but each time from a different di-
rection, and each time the result was re-
pulse. Apparently 1t was intended that
these attacks should be simultaneous, but
this plan failed owing to tho lack OF proper
organization. The Turks, however, pushed
the attack with the utmost determination fol
six hours, and only abandoned the attempt
TO seize the junction about noon.

Greece 10 Demoralized and the Powers
are About Ready to Intervene.

Everything now points to the conclusion
OF the campaign by the intervention OF the
powers. There IL no confirmation OF the re-
port that the Greek Ministry has fallen.
II is probable that "A coalition Cabinet will
be formed. 1t IL stated that preparations
are being made on King George's property
at Smidstrup, Denmark, with a view OF hav-
ing the castle ready for its owner IN case OF
his abdication or deposition.
Everything sent from Athens by tho
special CORES pondents emphasizes the in
creasing gravity Of the sitaution there and
the rapid development OF revolutionary feel
ing. This condition Of things appears to
have resulted largely from cessation of hos
,iitIes in Epirus. While there IL no doubt
that the Turks are occupied IN establishing
their lines OF communication, IL is equally
evident that the Greek disaster in Epirus Is
much more serious than was at first suppos-
ed. II now looks like "A hopeless task to re-
new the advance upon Janlna. M Turkey IL

European war scare Dld MOI Last Long
Enough
In spite OF moderate Improvement in most
Of the great industries business Ia dsap-
pointing. Expectations OF n speedy end Of
the wnr in Europe through Turkish victory
have helped to depress grain. Demands OF
Australia and China have caused exports OF
SO, 500 900 gold, merchandise and imports are
greatly increased md final action of con
gress on the revenue question seems more
remote.
Wheat rose last saturday nearly . cents,
hut has fallen since that day about 2 cents
This is largely because European markets
did not sustain the eXpectatiOnsfof' great
foreign demand after the outbreak OF tho
war, and because events appeared to fore
shadow speedy peace but the tidings from
wheat growing states, the receipts from
farms and tho enormous exports OF corn all
had influence.
The exports Of gold would not haye much
iniiuenceif there were not an extraordinary
increase In merchandise imports and some
decrease in exports from New York, large for
the last week, and per cent. for April. Inn
ports have increased about GO per cent. over
last year for the week, and for four weeks
have been 30 per cent. greater. At Boston
imports OF wool have been extraordinary.
and at Philadelphia they have amounted for
the month to Sl.27S000. The thought thar
this abnormal increase may continue as long
as action on the revenue bill IL deferred
tends to affect exchange, but the main influ-
ence at present is the exceptional demand
for reconstruction OF the Austrian monetary
system and for japan.
or the great industries the iron and steel
manufacture is slower In advancing now. as
1t was much the quicker in the winter. Part
| ly because the increase In production In pig
was then rapid, partly because enormous
contracts taken when the different pools
broke down went mainly to tho larger con-
| Germs, and perhaps even more because posi-
bilities Of new development remain. there II
great hesitation now In placing orders. Re

BLUE AND GRAY.
a Notable Dinner Party Given In New
York.


One OF the most pleasing incidents OF the
great gathering In New York city was n
small dinner party given by General James
Grant Wilson at his home In East Seventy
fourth street. Besides ieing q reunion Of the
surviving classmates OF General Grant. the
occasion was noted for the presence OF both
union and confederate leaders in the great
struggle of 30 odd years ago.
Christopher G. AuRur, General Joseph j.
Reynolds, General Vim. Is Franklin, General
Samuel q. French, Rev. DR.. George Deshon,
General Simon Is. Buckner. General Long
street and Admiral Daniel Ammen. The five
guests ilrs mentioned are tho sole survivors
OF the class OF which General Grant was u
member at West Point. Bringing them to-
gether at this time WAS hope fondly cher
ished by General Wilson and be was delight
ed when acceptnnces OF his invitations had
been received from all five.
General Wilson's pleasure at the nesting
OF General Grants early companions was
less genuine than the satisfaction that no and
all his guests felt when tho distinguished
confederate generals, alike warm friends OF
Grant, appeared In response TO his invita-
tions. At the gathering we're told many
anecdotes which could have been brought
out at no other time. The union over the
covers OF the blue and gray promoted many
interesting stories and they were given with
q com pletsnoss that would have been impos-
sibie under other circumstances.
