er of the republican Congressman from
Cincinnati, and now Storer insists on that
appointment being made, although he cam
not get the Endorsement of either Senator,

Certain republican Senators, among
them Mantle Carter. Shoup, Warren and
Burrows have demanded of the republi-
cans of the Senate Finance Committee
that duty of not less than two cents a
pound shall be placed on hides and that
the duty on wool shall be raised to meet
| a schedule submitted by them, and the de-
mand is accompanied by a threat to de-
feat the tariff bill if their wishes are not
complied with 1t is clearly within the
power of these five Senators to defeat the
tariff BILL but it is not the opinion of those
best informed that they will make use of
that power to such an extent. They are
simply exercising their right to make a
big bluff in the interest of the products of
their states, in order to get as much ofthe
protection sway for their constituents, as
possible, but in the end they will take
what is given them and vote for the bill.
Having satisfied themselves that demo-
cratic Senators would make no further
concessions, the republicans accepted the
last proposition made by the democratic
steering committee, and the vacancies in
the Senate Committees will all he filled in
a few days. Politically speaking the COM
mittees will stand substantially as they
did at the close of the last session. An
agreement might have been reached before,
but the republicans wished to punish the
silver republicans for supporting Bryan,
and the democrats insisted that it should
not be done, and it was not done.

NEWS FROM THE SEAT OF
WAR.

The news from the seat of war is
conflicting but exciting. The first
seriously planned battle between the
Greeks and Turks was commenced
Wednesday in Thessaly and ragged with
VARYING fortune until late in the after
noon. The Turks had an overwhelm-
ing superiority of numbers. The Greeks
were assisted by thousands of irregu-
lars, who harrasscd the Turkish out
posts and wings. The Greek ac-
counts gave the rusult as practically
drawn battle. Edhem Pasha report
ed that his troops have commenced the
investment of Larissa, the Greeks
headquarters, and the commanders ex-
poet to capture it within three days.
Other operations in progress look to
the capture of Previsa, on the west
coast, and the commandment or capture
of Salonica. on the east coast. The
Greeks are confident of their ability to
isolate Prcvisa, take Arta and make a
dash upon Janina. They have been
bombarding Platomona, on the Gulf
of Salonica. Greek vessels are expec-
ted at the city of Salonica, where the
Turks have placed torpedoes at suita-
bic points. The Spezai, Greek IRON
clad, has been ordered east from
Previsa and active naval operations
are expected in the Egean. There is
a rumor that the Turkish fleet, which
would be formidable if fit for sea, is
about to appear on the scene.
Now that Turkey has officially declar
ed war, the powers will be compelled to
indicate their real purpose of the policy.
1t is scarcely to be believed that
Greece was not secretly instigated to
assume the position that led to the
war, under the promise of support
from some one or more of the great
powers. Singlc-handed she must
prove to bca very week adversary
against the disciplined army OF Turk
ey, many times more numerous than
her own, and commanded by exper
fenced officers. Unless there is some
body behing Greece the fighting must
continue but short time.
- American sympathy is entirely with
Greece whatever may he the attitude
of foreign nations. The rule of the
Turk over Christian people has
always been tyrannical and Cypress
i've The Greeks arose in defence OF
their Christian brethren in Crete, and
therefore they deserve the goodwill
and support of all lands, boasting of
high civilization.
1t is acknowledged that the Europ-
can powers are chiefly dominated by
bankers and bonds Their fnanciers
are large holders of Turkish secur-
ties, and any reduction in Turkish ter
ritory must reduce the tax-collecting
and debt paying power of the Sublime
Porte. There are also other consider
alton and jealousies that influence the
respective governments.
In a few days the critical period
will have passed. Should the Greeks
win victories and thus prolong the
contest, other nations will probably |
he drawn into the war. The POSSIBLE
tiles are infinite.
