and the fact that the fall of Prevesa
seems immiaent virtually offsets the
calamity at AIilouna. If the Greek
divisions effect union at Damasi, as
is expected, there is almost nothing in
the way of their prompt advance to
Elassona.
II Tyrnavo falls into the hands of
Edhem Pasha and the Turkish troops

vance to Larissa to meet the force con-
centrated there under the crown prince,

sions Of the Greek army. This seems
to have been the object of Greek STRAIT
egy.
In Athens greater attention has been
paid to the operations in the neighbor-
hood of Reveni than to those at Milou-
ma pass. The theory all along has been
that IL the Greeks could establish them
selves at Damasi, their road would lie
open to Elassona.
The exact situation at Tyrnavo is
somewhat in doubt. The news from
that point is conflicting. but there is
no confirmation Of the rumor that the
place had been captured by the Turks
What seems to have happened is that

GRECO-TURKISH WAR
THE FIGHTING BEGINS ON THE MAC
EDoNlAN FRONTIER.

Turks Force the AIiiouna Pass and Cross
the Mountains Into Thessaiy- Greeks
Capture Damasi, an Important Turkish
Town-Grecian Fleet Takes Prevesa.
The strained relations between Greece
and Turkey, resulting from the Cretan
imbroglio, have at last eliminated in
actual and active hostilities.
On Saturday last the Turkish coun-
ell Of ministers at Constantinople, after
a protracted conference with the sui
tan, declared war against Greece, alleg-
ing as casus belli that the Greeks bad
invaded the Ottoman empire on the
Macedonian frontier.
For a week or more irregular bands
Of Greeks, equipped and directed by the
Ethnike hetairia, or Panhellenic league,
had made frequent incursions into Mac
edonia, but for these raids the Greek
government disclaimed any responsible
i.y. and the assertion of the porte that
officers and soldiers of the Greek army
were connected with these expeditions
was positively denied in Athens.
The formal notice of Turkeys hostile
declaration was received in Athens on
Sunday when the legislative assembly
was specially convened, and amid the
widest excitement and enthusiasm
Premier Delyannls ANNOUNCED on be-
half of King George and the govern
ment that the Greeks accepted the OF
toman gage of battle, declaring, howev-
er, that they were not the aggressOrs.
Almost simultaneously with the dec
laration of war fighting began all along
the frontier and has since continued.
Edhem Pasha, the commander at the
Turkish headquarters at Elassona, be-
gan at once a movement of his forces
toward Milouna pass, in the mountains
which separate Turkish from Greek ter
ritory, and where the principal roads
leading from Macedonia into Thessaly
converge and cross the mountains.
Here Edhem Pasha encountered a force
of Greeks, about half as many as his
own troops The Greeks heroically
fought to defend the pass, but by sheer
force of numbers were at last compelled
to give way and the Turks swarmed
through the mountain defile to the
Thessalian plains, and are now pro-
ceeding toward the Greek headquarters,
at Larissa, though their advance is
stubbornly resisted by the Hellenes,
who are receiving e-enforcements and
may be able to check further move
ment in this direction. 1t is stated that
10000 soldiers were killed at Milouna
pass, the Turks losing three officers of
high rank.
Crown Prince Constantin, whose
headquarters are at Larissa, has taken
personal command Of the troops in the
field, and King George has started fol-
the frontier.
While losing at one vulnerable point
hat of Milouna PASS. the Greeks appear
to have more than held their own
elsewhere along the frontier, making
frequent incursions into Macedonia and
capturing and holding several advanta-
geous positions.
Contemporaneous with the fighting
on the frontier, a Greek fleet has beer
operating in the bay of Arta. lombard
ing the Turkish fortified city of Pre-
vesa, destroying the Notifications and
siler@ing the Turkish guns, which had
been firing on the vessels lying off Ac-

Constantinople. April 21.-A second
Turkish squadron has left the Golden
Horn for the Dardanelles. 1t consists
of the ironclad Orhanien, the monitor
Hifairahman, the corvette Mansoura,
five torpedo boats and four steamers
which have been converted into cruis-
ers,
Edhem Pasha has wired the sultan
that he has gained several notable vic
tories, occupying all the fortified posi-
sions commanding Tyrnavo He re-
ports that the Greeks evacuated their
intrenched camp, leaving behind 30
cases of cartridges and many rifles.
The Turks, he says, have retaken We
litzko, which the Greeks surprised and
captured on the first day of frontier
aggression.
The Turkish commander at Janina
announces that the Greek fleet which
has been bombarding Prevesa has been
compelled to retire, one division with
drawing to the interior of the gulf and

The Head of the Bennett and Columbia
Mills Charged with Perjury.
New Bedford, Mass, April 21.-Frank
3. Hadley formerly president and
treasurer of the Bennett and Columbia
mills of this city, has been arrested,
charged with perjury in falsifying the
returns Of the Bennett mills to the sec
retary of state Inspector Hathaway,
who served the warrant, found Had
ley sick in bed suffering from nervous
prostration, the result of the disclosures
relative to the condition of the mills.
A. j. Selfridge of Boston, Hadley's
counsel, was present at the time the
warrant was served, and he explained
the nature of the document to Hadley.
The latter appeared to be in a semi
dazed condition. and although he ap-
parently understood the warrant, he
paid little attention to it.
DIR. William e. Brownell, Hadley's at
tending physician, and DR.. c. d. Pres
colt, who was called in, both pro-
nOunced Hadley's condition such that
he could not be removed to the police
station with safety, and consequently
he will be kept a prisoner in his own
house until he is able to appear in the
Thitd district court for arraignment,
two policemen being placed on guard
meanwhile.

FAMOUS SUIT CLOSED.
DECISION FOR THE GOVERNMENT
IN THE HAT TRIMMING CASE.

History of the Litigation Which Has Oc-
cupied the Courts For Long Time.
Millions of Dollars Were Involved 1t
Was Test Case.
Philadelphia, April 21.-The famous
hat trimmings case, which indirectly
involves between 500 1000, 900 and $25,-
100000 and which has been postponed
from time to time for the past three
years, has finally been decided in ia
vor of the government by a jury in
the United States circuit court.
The suit was brought as a test case
by Meyer & Dickinson, big importers
of this city, who sought to recover from
the United States government a differ
ence of 80 per cent in customs duties.
The firms contention was that the inn
portations in question consisted solely
of hat trimmings, on which the duty
under the Mckinley tariff act was only
20 per cent but the federal officials in
their argument maintained that the
merchandise was used chiefly for dresses
and dress trimmings and that the duty
of 80 per cent levied by the government
was proper. Meyer &, Dickinson were
nominally the plaintiffs but there were
hundreds Of big importing firms
throughout the country who were in
terested in the outcome of the suit and
who We're instrumental in procuring
the best obtainable counsel.
Jury Out but Two Hours.
The trial of the present case began
on April 8, eX-United States District
Attorney Ingham being assisted by
Dwight NJ Lowrey of this city and
Assistant Attorney General e. b. Whit
ney of Washington in the defense. The
jury, after two hours deliberation, rem
dered a verdict for the government.
Judge Dallas in his charge to the
Jury said that if the articles with which
this controversy is concerned were used
for making or ornamenting hats, bon
nets and hoods, then the verdict should
be for the plaintiffs; but if the jury
find that none of these articles was
trimmings, the verdict should be for the
defendant.
Ex- United States District Attorney
| Ingham stated after the decision had
| been rendered that more than 1000 i'm
porting firms were indirectly interested
in the suit and that between $40, 900, 900
and S25 900 900 was involved.
This he said was irrespective of the
Immense amount of money which would
necessarily have been required to de-
| fend the suits.

London, April 21.-It is evident from
the most trustworthy advices received
here that the Turks have forced the
principal door of Thessaly and entered
the broad plains, where they have the
advantage of numbers against the
Greeks.
Dispatches received at the foreign Of
flee confirm the advices received by the
Turkish ambassador from Constanti-
nople that the Turks were victorious in
fighting and hsVe captured the outlying
defenses of Tyrnavo. This place is the
only obstacle in the way of the advance
of the Turkish army Ito Larissa the
headquarters of Crown Prince Constan-
tin, which is not strongly fortified, If
indeed 1t is fortified at all. If Larissa
is taken by the Turks, the whole scheme
of the Greek frontier defense of Thes-
sally will collapse and only a pitched
battle on the plains of Thessaly will be
left to the Greeks.

Bill to Regulate the Size of Head Cover
ing Passed by the Assembly.
Albany. April 20.-The crusade against
the wearing of high hats in the thea
ters received a partial victory last
night by the passage in the assembly
Of the measure introduced by M Kos
ter to regulate the size of headgear in
places of amusement. The bill was a
special order in the house on the calen-
dars of second and third reading.
Mr.. Greene of New York moved to
strike out the enacting clause. He said
that while the principle of the bill was
good, its wording was bad, and that the
provisions could never be enforced, be-
cause it would be impossible to learn
the names Of the offenders so that ae-
tion could be begun against them. The
motion was voted down by a viva voce
vote.
Mr. Mazet of New York moved to
amend by inserting "puffed sleeves. %
The amendment was lost. and the bill
advanced TO a third reading. Then a
final vote on its passage was taken and
il was passed-S1 to AZ.

that If the Greeks had possessed any
thing like adequate artillery, the Turks

tions so obstinately held by the Greeks.
The Turks have clearly much to be
