PANIC WAS INDISPENSABLE.
An Englishman Tells of Awful Scenes at
VoIo.

New York, May IA dispatch to the
Herald from Salonica says: AN Eng
lishman who arrived here last night from
Volo, where he had been four days, says
that the scenes Of panic and confusion are
indescribable. Law and order he says,
have disappeared and all sembiance of au-
thority is gone.
THE whole beach is strewn with bag
gage and people are clamoring and wait
ing for ships which do not come. Rifles
are being promiscuously served and car
tridges are thrown up in heaps in the
streets, the people filing their pockets
with them.
'"The Englishman saw the Greek troops
alight at Velestino. Fugitives rushing
in without money or provisions inter
mingled with the soldiers, who had
thrown their arms away SO as not to i'm
pede their flight. He also saw the cap
tain of an American ship who left Ath-
ems on the 2Sth. He said that the people
were terribly bitter against the royal
family and would kill any of its members
if they could get at them. They accused
Prince Constantine of having betrayed
the army and being in collision with the
Russians"

INCREASE BEER TAX.
Clause Raising it from 81 to s so
is Adopted by the Senate
Subcommittee.

Washington, ID. c., May 3.--An addi-
tional tax of 80 cents Il barrel on beer
was voted into the Senate tariff bill by
the Republican subcommittee. Whether
the item will stay uu<i the bill! gets into
The Senate is not altogether certain
Senators Aldrich. Allison and Wolcott
prepared for an all-night session IN the
hope Of getting the measure ready to
report to the finance committee, but
along toward midnight they declared
they could not hope to make a report
before Tuesday. Meanwhile they voted
upon the beer tax. The present rate of
81 a barrel and the additional 50 cents
will bring the treasury about SIT, OOO,-
900 annually on the present rate
of consumption. This increase in rev
enue will not entail Il dollar of addi-
tional expense for collection. The beer
tax is now part of the bill, lower rates
on lumber and wool are there also, as
well as tariff on hides and a reduction
of the internal revenue tax on spirits.
The sugar schedule is substantially the
same as that i'll the Dingley bill so far as
results are concerned, but will make
changes in phraseology and in the relative
taxation of low-grade and off-color SUI
CARS. Judging from the amount of work
ahead Of them late last night, the com
mittee will be lucky to report the bill
Tuesday
just ended confirm Chairman Dingley's
statement made a few days ago that
there is likely to be nearly a years sup
ply of foreign goods in the country when
the new tariff bill goes into effect. While
the retroactive clause, so-called, of the
Dingley bill probably prevented some OF
the new contracts which would have
been made and the new orders which
would have been given, it did not reduce
the amount of goods brought in during
April. as compared with the preceding
month. That clause of the bill provided
that the new rates of duty should apply
upon all goods coming in after April 1
which had been purchased prior to
that date. This. of course, permitted all
goods contracted for ordered prior 20
April l to come in under Wilson law rates
and also left it largely in the hands
of the Importers to indicate by their own
statements whether goods coming in after
April 1 had been purchased or ordered
prior to that date. Some of the import
ers have also chung to the belief that this
feature of the bill would fail to pass the
Senate, especially in view of recent pub
locations so indicating, while still others
have chosen to take the risks upon being
required to pay the extra duty in case
this feature of the bill should become a
law.
The result of these conditions is that
the total importations of foreign goods
have jumped from $50000,000 in Au-
gust, 1896, to $S0,000,000 last month.
The most notable increase has come from
non-dutiable articles which importers
know will soon have to pay duty. The
importations of this class of goods have
jumped from sd 100000 in August
1896, to about $45,000,0O0 in April, 1897.

DEED OF A FIEND.
Fatally Wounds Four Children In
Minnesota and Then AS
saulted the Mother,

ST Paul, Mimi, May IA special to
the Dispatch from Larimore says that
a quadruple murder took place at the
residence of Knute Hillstead, a prom
inent farmer residing eight miles west,
at / o'clock this morning.
August Norman, a young man we'll
known in that section, who had been
making his home at Hillstead's off and
on, went there yesterday afternoon.
About | o'clock Norman went to Mrs.
IIillstead's room and demanded admls-
sion. She blocked the door and he said
he would kill all the family if she did
not give into him. The woman
refused and Norman procured a razor,
went upstairs and cut the throat of Pc
ter E Hillstsad, aged Is. He then went
down stairs and tried to get into Mrs.
Hillstead's room again, but she had
locked the door. He then proceeded to
carve the 13-months-old son, Thomas,
after which he cut the threats of Adolph
and Oscar, aged IL and 3 respectively.
He then forced his way into Mrs. Hill
stead's bedroom and assaulted her, prom
Using not to kill her two little girls if she
would yield. She did so and thus saved
her life and the life of the two daugh-
tiers. The oldest sons are still alive, but
with little hopes of their recovery. Aft
er the crime the murderer stole one of
the horses and is still at large. Before
leaving he took ali the lights, leaving the
family in total darkness. The public IS
inclined to deal severely with the murder
er if he should be caught.

NO TREATY TO ABROGATE.
Congressman Smith Still Pushing
the Matter of Building War
ships on Great Lakes.

Washington, D. c., May 1.-[Special.]
By request of the President Congress
man Smith of Michigan called at the
white house today to discuss the pro-
posed abrogation of the diplomatic I'M
Outstanding of 1917, which at present
prevents lake shipbuilders from bidding
on the construction of warships. The
President evidently takes a lively in
terest in the matter. Congressman
Smith, through the exhaustive research
he made into the history of the alleged
treaty" was undoubtedly able to give
President Mckinley thorough under
standing of the case, and, it may be,
converted the President to his
views regarding it. Mr. Smith,
it will be remembered, holds that the
agreement was never ratified in Great
Britain, and that in addition to that inn
portant fact Congress some years ago
took the necessary action to authorize
the state department to declare the
agreement or "treaty" void. If the
President takes this view of it he may
instruct Secretary Sherman to act at
once. If he does SO the shipyards on
the great lakes may construct all the
small cruisers they can get contracts for
and besides the naval reserves may bring
man-of-war to Detroit loaded to the
waters edge with cannon if they want

THRILLING RESCUES.
Splendid Work Done by Party OF
Maine Men After the Guth-
rie Flood.

Guthrie, Ok, May 3. - Interesting
stories of rescuing during the first and
second days of Guthrie's big flood are
constantly developing. Many of them are
of heroic efforts made on the part of
those who were fortunate enough to have
been missed by the resistless wave that
swept away houses and lives Among
others the work of a party of Lewiston
(AIe.) men is notable. The second boat
built after the flood struck was manned
by DR.. Chase, who recently located here
from Maine. Under his direction and
with the aid Of Auditor Nichols and Bob
Huston about q dozen people were rescued
from trees and dismantled houses, the
work in each instance being performed
under dangerous and trying conditions
and wkile the rescuers' lives were in mo-
mentary peril.
New Orleans. La. May 3.--Probably
the last week of the great fight against
the rising river has begun. The fine
weather has abled the long patched
UP line of levees to be patched more and
more, and with an army in the breast
works the line is expected to last through
the crisis. The situation along the whole
Louisiana front is just the same as it
was any day last week.

A SURPRISE WHICH FAILED.
Greeks Were Prepared and Drove the
Turks Back.


Athens, May 1.-Dispatches just re-
ceived from Pharsalia, the headquarters
of the Greek army in Thessaly, give
further particulars of the recent fight
ing between the Turks and Greeks at
Velestino ten miles west of Volo, at
the junction of the railroad connecting
Volo with Larissa and Pharsalia. The
Turkish attacking force at Velestino
consisted of 5000 infantry, 600 cavalry
and thirteen guns. The charges of the
Turkish cavalry We're firmly withstood
by the Eyzones posted on Karantasi
HILL The entire Turkish regiment was
decimated. -Four Turkish squadrons
which attempted to charge were re-
ceived with a combined rifle and shrap-
mel fire which moved down several hun
dred
The Greek irregulars co-operated with
the regular troops of Greece. Fifty
Greeks were killed and major and five
subalterns were wounded.
A detachment of Turkish cavalry from
Larissa approached the railway between
Pharsalia and Domozos, which was
about ten miles south of Pharsalia and in
the Greek rear. The Greek artillery
opened fire upon the enemy'S cavalry at
long rang and after heavy cannonading
forced the Turks to retire, the Greek
cavalry pursuing them.
The Turkish commander apparently
wished to surprise the Greeks at Pharsa-
liza and sent two army corps against them,
one from Trikhala and the other from La
rissa.
