THE London Daily ChrOuicIe publishes
a dispatch from Athens saying that
Greece has $4,000 troops on the frontier,
and that the Turkish and Greek outposts
are very close in places. For instance
at Arta the Turks hold one end of a
bridge and the Greeks the other. A
Greek general recently while inspecting
the frontier was captured by the Otto
man patrol, but was eventually rescued
by the troops. The situation on the
frontier, the dispatch says, is danger
GUS one, and little would be required to
set the country ablaze.

for his approval. The senate has passed
finally As bills and the house %. The
governor has signed number of reso-

A Line of Action Suggested-Immunity
For Witnesses Wanted.
ALBANY, March 10.-The report of
the joint committee on trusts, which
held several sessions in New York city
last month, has been submitted to the
legislature. 1t notes the fact that a
decision of Judge Swayne on the fed
eral constitution forbids action on the
part of an individual state to absolutely
repress trusts, but the committee ex
press the belief that the attorney gen.
eral can, by bringing action before a
supreme court judge, in some respects
remedy existing evils. A bill, which
accompanies the report, grants immun-
ity for witnesses who incriminate them
selves and gives the supreme court the
subpoena power.

factor system as it is used by the sugar

IT has not as yet been determined by
Chairman Dingley and his Republican
associates of the late ways and means
committee just how much protection
the sugar trust is to have in the tariff ad-
justmeu:. But this is a matter on
which the committee will have to reck-
on with the senate, in which body the
trust has many friends. There is not
the least doubt, however, that between
the senate and the house the sugar trust
will receive ample protection and care.

American Violin Wood.

1t has been recently discovered that
the bar maple wood grown in Washing
ton is superior to any wood yet tried in
the manufacture of small stringed in
struments, such as violins. This is veri-
fled by the practical experience and tes-
timony of well known Chicago instru-
ment maker He finds that the Wash
ington maple is superior to any he has
yet used, and he has heretofore been i'm
porting maple from the mountain re-
gions Of Switzerland as the best he
could find in the world.
The Washington maple seems to pos
sess the necessary qualities Of being very
difficult to split, capacity for satiny
finish, resonance, strcn eth and lightness
in the superlative degrees. While the
demand for such wood does not call for
any great amount, it is steadily increas-
ing and will almost command its own
price AS an instance of the superiority
of some American made instruments, a
purchaser sent to Europe lately for a
high priced instrument and when it was
received it was found to be the product
of the aforesaid manufacturer. Buffalo

Miss Allen acted as one of the judges

false returns. She was indicted by the

Fortune. Made In tcxtIIe Trade.

Emineuce in the textile trades does
not lead with the same certainty to 90
cial distinction as the possession OF
breweries and distilleries. The Lanca-
shire manufacturers gain titles more
hardly, and, unless we except Sir Arch
ibald Orr Ewing, the turkey red dyer
connected with that industry. neither
peer nor baronet nor even a knight is to
be found among the full millionaires
and IL semimillionaires who have occu-
pied that enviable position in the wills
of the last ten years, because custom re-
Quires that we should wear clothes. The
late John Ryland of Manchester. who
was in his youth n travelling packman,

in such perfect order that the intricate
business of valuing and declaring so
colossal an estate was completed within
a month. Mr.. George Ii. Strut of Bel

den, both cotton spinners, were million
aires, the estate Of the former reaching
we'll ON to 60, 900. 900.

of the semimillionaires who helped to

Woods, Samuel and Daniel, of Glossop;
another Fielden of Todmorden and two
Lees, Eli and Charles Edward, Of Wer-
meth, near Oldham. This last was one
of the rare cases in which the exchequer
draws death duties twice from the same
estate within two years, as y. +. Lees
was the son of Eli, and the fortunes
were 1856, Sl3 and fS49, 42S, respective

have disturbed his fathers investments.
