INDICATED A MARRIAGE.
Queer Matrimonial Issue Brought
Before Major-Gen. Miles

The post commander at Fort Assini-
boin, Mon, recently reprimanded Post
Chaplain Bateman because the latter
had OBLIGATED at the marriage Of nom
commissioned officer and young wom-
an at the post. The whole affair was
stigmatized unauthorized and i'm
proper" but the chaplain didn't think
SO and promptly appealed. He held
that no authority was known to exist
which can grant or deny permission to
enlisted men to get married, and that
his authority to perform the marriage
ceremony is in no way derived from
the military establishment. The post
commander held that no married men
were wanted in the service, and special
authority was not only required to re-
enlist a married man but also to marry
one.
Gen. Brooke, commanding the depart
ment of Dakota, through whose hands
the papers passed, pronounced Chaplain
Bateman's act perfectly lawful and
proper but favored some rule being
adopted which might prevent enlisted
men from marrying while in the service.
Major-Gen. Miles comments as follows
upon the points at issue:
The course Of Chaplain Bateman ap-
pears fully warranted by law and regu-
lations. While the objection to soldiers
marrying is well recognized. 1t is not
prohibited by law or regulations. and
the military authorities are not, there
fore, warranted in intervening As
neither the soldier nor his wife are en-
titled to claim or privilege from the
government during his service on ac-

Persons Believe the Foreclosure Sale
Will not Take Place.
Omaha, Neb, May S.-General Solicit
tor Kelley of the Union Pacific system
will return within the next few days
from New York City, where he has
been engaged for month past in legal
matters connected with the foreclosure
of the governments lien on, the COM
pany. Considerable testimony has
been taken in regard to the interests
involved in the foreclosure before
Judge Cornish, special master in chan
Gerry for the Union Pacific receivership.
In regard to the time of actual fore
closure sale there have been all kinds
of cOnjectures. A gentleman who is
in a position to judge said: I'm my
opinion il is a good safe bet that the
foreclosure of the Union Pacific will
not take place this year. l under
stood that Master-in- Cornish
has been in New York taking testi-
mony from holders of various liens
against the Union Pacific other than
that of the governments. 1t will
be some time before the master will
give his report on the cases to the
court Even if these reports were ac-
copied bv all parties concerned and
at once confirmed by the Federal courts
it would take a month or more, but
it is pretty well understood that there
will be protests from the holders of
certain claims. There are even those
who are almost willing to wager that
the foreclosure sale of the Union Pa
cific railway will never take place at
all.
THE receivershfp, they argue, may
terminate within year or possibly a
somewhat less time, but the road Will
be operated by the owners in the way
they think the most profitable.

They Will Be Left Entirely to Wey-
ler's Discretion.
New York, May S-A dispatch to the
World from Madrid, says: 1t IS Off
cially stated that this government can
see no grounds to listen to the argu-
ment of the Madrid press or the oppo-
sition politicians who are determined
to allow Gen. Weyler to remain at the
head of the forces in the field in Cuba
and at the same time continue to act
as governor general to carry out the
reforms generally, as he may deem
that the circumstances and conditions
of the colony permit.
It is expected that fully two months,
if not more, will be required to make
preparations for the elections and the
first installment of reforms.
Gen. Weyler will also be allowed to
determine after complete pacifica-
ton of the island the conditions on
which political eXiles will be permitted
to return to the colony or how their
treatment shall be modified in the
Spanish fortresses and penal settle
ments on the coast of Africa where
about 1000 Separationists and
Autonomists are detained, by virtue Of
decisions of the colonial authorities
without trial of any kind, but simply
as suspects. Every mail steamer is
still bringing over some "desperadoes'
as they are styled.
The Madrid opposition press persists
in advocating some amelioration OF
their condition and Liberal, Renubli-
can and Cuban AutonOmist rcpresen-
tatives have often interposed in their
favor, sometimes begging permission
for them to remain in Spain, or to go
to less unhealthy prisons.
In official circles it is stated that
there is no idea of proclaiming ames-
ty yet.

COMPOSED ADLAl STEVENSON,
0. ". WOLC0TT AND
GEN. PAINE.
The Ex Vice President In An Inter
view Says He Thinks They
Will Return Having Their
Mission Successfully At-
cOmTliShei.

New York, May S.-A. L. Stevenson,
ex-vice president of the United States;
Senator wolcott and Gen. Paine, who
comprise the commission appointed by
President Mckinley to visit Europe
and confer with the heads of governs
relative to the holding of an interna-
tional bimetallic congress, arrived in
New York from Washington last night
and will sail for Havre, France, today.
1--WE are hopeful of good and sub
stantial results arising from this visit
of the commission abroad" said the
former vice-president at the Brevoort
hotel, where Miss Stevenson, who will
accompany him on his travels, had
apartments.
I'VE have assurances of the hearty
cooperation from the representatives
of the European governments we, eX-
pect to visit, in trying to solve this
great problem of a broad and just fl
nancial system. A general plan of eX-
change among all the great CONNER
cial nations of the earth.
The measure creating the commits
sion and giving the president power to
make the appointments was approved
March 3, last. 1t gives the commission
much latitude and the members can
use their own discretion as to the plans
| to be adopted. AS L have had no meet
ing with my colleagues as yet, we have
had no definite understanding what
course we will pursue. But the friends
of bimetallism, and the people in gen.
eral, may rest assured that everything
possible will be done for the restora-
ton of silver as one of the money met
ais of the world.
I'VE will first visit Paris and have
conference with the leading Off
Gals of the French government. Then
we will go to Berlin and meet the rep
resentatives of the German empire
and later that we will have confer
ence with prominent English statesmen
and the authorities of the government
These are the only countries we have
thus far agreed upon visiting, though
we may make an effort to interest
other European governments. Howev-
er, that will depend largely upon flu
ture developments. Our plans will be
agreed on as we progress.
THE work of the commission at this
time can only be preliminary. 1t will
be to try and have the governments Of
the countries mentioned send represen-
tatives to joint conference at which
it is hoped a plan Of international BIZ
metallism agreeable to all may be de-
cided Upon.
What will be accomplished, howev-
Ell, cannot be predicted, but the COM
mission will leave these shores in high
hope of bringing back a report of its
work that will be generally satisfac-
tory to the American people"

TURKS ARE THE V|CTORS.
They Completely Outgener-
al The Greeks.
SPLIT KING GEORGES ARMY IN
TWO AND FORCED
RETREAT.
Turks Exhibited Courage In Plenty,
And We're Commanded By Ger
man Officers, Especially
Routed The Weak
er Greeks.

New York, May S.-A special dispatch
to the Press from Athens says:
Turkish strategy has again been
shown to be pre-eminent. After cut
ting the railroad from Pharsalia to We
lestino at Avail, point near Pharsa-
liza, thus intercepting communication
between the right and left wings of the
Greek army they, on Thursday morn
ing, made a successful drive through
the Greek line of defense, threatening
to divide the Greek army. This would
have had the disastrous effect of shut
ting in the right wing of Prince Con-
stantine's forces at Volo.
Advancing in a crescent formation,
as they done all through this cam
paign, the Turks also thanked the
Greek line on the west making Phar-
salia untenable and an immediate re-
treat necessary of the whole Greek
line.
The Greek positions on their second
line of defense were hazardous. 1t is
twenty-five miles from Pharsalia on
their left to Velestino on their right,
with mountainous country between.
The Greek army was not large enough
to cover a front so extensive. 1t was
impossible for them 20 move troops
quickly over the difficult country, and
when the Turks made a concentrated
attack upon them from the plains,
striking at one point, the Greeks were
compelled to fall back, their whole
line of defense being placed at once
Under cover of an artillery fire, drop
ping shells into the Greek lines, the
Turkish infantry stormed and captured
the ridges around Pharsalia. The
troops. fought with fiendish courage
and their movements directed by the
German officers, were executed with an
admirable military precision. The
Greeks met them at first with muir
derous rifle fire and the Moslem losses
were terrible-far heavier than those
of the Greeks.
The retreat of the right wing of the
Greek army, under Gen, SmolitZ, was
conducted in perfect order.
The retreat of the left wing of the
Greek army from Pharsalia was not
made in such good order.
The Greek army will have no trou-
BILE in concentrating again at Domokos,
where another stand will be made.
1t is asserted that the heavy guns of
the Greek fleet will be able to prevent
the Turkish troops forcing the pass
of Thermopylae; but if the warships
| are moved south to this, the essential
strategical point, the town of Nolo
would be taken easily by the Turks.
Even today hurried exodus is going
on from Volo in anticipation of its oc-
cupation by Edhem Pasha's troops.
Few Christians still remain in the
evacuated territory of Thessaly. Peas
| ants are fleeing south in CONSERVATION
abandoning their household ettects
and leaving the invaders to trample
under foot in their ruthless advance
the fields of ripening grain.
