IA DIFFERENCE OF OPINION Among the Democratic Members
 of the Committee. THE DINGLEY TARIFF BILL And Its Ame dments Cause the Troublesome Claim to Raise the Tariff Question
 Would Be Unc institutional.

Washington, May 14.-There Is some difference of opinion among the demo- o.attc members of the senate committee on finance as to the policy to be pursued in regard to the tariff bill. Some of them, rLltably Senator German, are of the opia- iotA that the democrats should prepare substitute bill and introduce it. They in- tlmate that this substitute should esn- brace he democratic bill as to the tariff giving uniformly lower rates than the re- publican bLl either as prepared in the house CT amended in the senate commit tee on france. They contend thas the Wilson law is not a clear embodiment of democratic tariff doctrine in that it does not only not produce sufficient revenne but that it carries many features which were inserted at the instance of repub- liCan SeTutOrS in order to secure it's pass age through the senate. There is, how ever, quite pr010unced 0pp61. ton tc this programme on the part of many delan- cF9ltic senators including several mem bers of the committee on finance. They take the position that the safest course for the party Is to stand by the WilAln bill, which, whle it Is not perfect, IS ill democratic measure. The rarty IS. they say, taking the position that no tariff legis5at.3n Is 1eeessary. The cam paign was fought on another issue aad they hold that to raise the tariff question on their cwn measure would be inc0n- sistent and unwise. Those who hold to this idea are willing that amendments should be offered covering all the sched- uies and it seems probable that this course will be pursued. The amend ments will provide rates practically on the line of the Wilson law.

DARKNESS STOPS A BATTLE
in Which the Greeks Gain Considerable Ad
 sa'tage.
OWE ARE STILL AT WARP
Said Nj. Ralli, the Premier, Yesterday The Sultan, Advised by Emperor Will jam, Refused to Grant an Armistice
 The Situation Is Complicated.

London, May 1.-The correspondentsof the Times al Athens says:
 The resumption of offensive opera ions in the Pireus greatly complicates the situation and tends to hamper the nego- tiations for peace. The evident inten- tion of the Greek commanders is to cap ture the Turkish positions there in order to show that they have not been defea ted.
 In an interview today M. Ralli. the pre- mier, repeated his statement that hu- mani;arian motives were responsible for the advance in Epirus, but he did not deny the advantages which might be hoped for from the capture of Prevesa and the occupation of the adjoining Turkish territory,
 We are still a war, he said, and until an armistice is concluded Greece retains her liberty of action and we cannot al- low activity to be confined to Thessaly, where the Turks are prepondeont. The powers have hindered us from acting in Crete, but Greece cannot be barred every where nor compelled to restrict her op- erations to a limf. ed area.
 We have done our best to obtain an armistce, and until it is secured We must act whenever and where we can. We have vigorously prosecuted the war at various points, and if we have no: at tackled the islands of the Aegian it is only because we have taken into consider- atlon the persecution the Greek popula- ton might be subjected to-
 This calculation may prove correct, but it is more than likely that Turkey will seize upon it as an excuse for delay ing the armistice and deal q crushing blow in Thessaly.

DOUBTFUL SITUATION.
Inactivity of the Turkish Troops in Epir-
 us Causes Speculation.

Inactivity of the Turkish Troops in Epir-
 us Causes Speculation.
 London, May 14.-Except for the fight ing in Epirus the Turco- Helene situa- ton is virtually unchanged from what 1t was yesterday It Is tolerably certain that only a few Greek troops remain in Domokos, the bulk of Prince Constan- tines army having withdrawn to Lanai where it will be in closer communication with Gen. Smolenski. This probably ex- plains the reported movements of the Turkish army as a number of Edhem Pasha's troops have been marching from Trikhala to Volo. Without doubt the respite of the feast of Bairm is very wel- come to the men.
 The fighting In Epirus has been inde- cisive. It is believed that Nikopolis is not yet captured, but only the heights Commanding the town. The Greeks made a pretext of the protection of peasants, but they evidently have no informa tion as to the reported activity of the Turks in Epirus. This is the seventh time the Greeks have attempted to advance to

 Since o'clock this afternoon the gun boat f1otilla has been attacking Nikopolis from inside the Gulf of Ambrachias with a simultaneous attack proceeding from the land side. The Turkish batteries replied vigorously and firmly resisted the attack. The coming on of darkness stopped the engagement. All the Greek efforts are now concentrated on captur- ing Nikopolis and Prevesa before advanc- ing to Pentepigadia.

 Sentence by the Court Martial.
 Washington, May 14.-The record of the court martial in the case of Capt. Henry Romyne, Fifth infantry, recently tried at Fort McPherson, Ga, on charges found on a personal assault upon Lieut.. F. M. O'Brlen, of his regiment, reached the war department today from Gsn. Merritt. at New York. The fact that Gen. Merritt found 1t necessary to send the papers to Washington, is an indica- tlon that the court has sentenced Capt Romyne to dismissal from the army. Inj fact it was said at the department thaT if he was found guilty of the one charsf of conduct unbecoming an officer and L- gentleman the court had no recourse in the matter, the sentence being prescribed in the regulations IS dismissal.

Janina end have met with a repulse which the Turks have never followed up. Evidently there is something wrong with the Turkish forces at that point. The recent report that a number of soldiers were taken from Constantropla in chains may perhaps explain it. or possi- bly Turkey is holding her forces there through fear of a movement from Bull oaria.

BRADsTREET'S REVIEW.

New York May 14-Bradstreet's to- morrow wlll say: The unexpected falling off in the request for staple goods within month results in period of compara tive calm at a time when a general re- vival in demand has been looked for. Wholesalers report that the volume of business consists of filling in orders, even Chicago not claiming more than to have held its own in volume of goods distribut- ed. Interior merchants continue to buy for nearby warits only, and in many di- rections farmers are too busy with field work to supply their wants at the coun- try stores.
 The continued subsistence in the lower Mississippi valley have encouraged wholesale merchants in that region, grocers report large distribution of canred goods west and southwest and the extreme depression in pig iron prices is followed by large western purchases. Wholesale dealers announce an increase in the demand for groceries and hard ware at Duluth, St. Paul, Minneapolis Kansas City and Memphis. Exports of wheat (hour included as wheat) from both coasts of the United States and from Montreal this week amount to 2.4S3,S75 bushels, as compared with 1,799 900 bush els last week, 1903, 900 in the week a year ago, 2,397, 900 bushels in the week two years ago, 2,240,000 bushels three years ago and as contrast1d with S.SS5,0O0 bushels in the like week of 1S93
 Exports of Indian corn amount. to B. 096, ,S34 buGEe,s, compared with 3,127 900 bushels in the week two years ego, 1,111,- 900 bushels three years ago, and as con- traelted with 1,247. 900 bushels in the corre- spondarg week of 1893.
