The Barns-NeLsod Wrsstlicg Match
OeGhe - Occnf IN Rock Isaand.
According to some Of the Daven-

being made to have the Burnside
Leod championship wrestling match
pulled off in that city instead OF Rock
Island. The friends Of Burns in this
city, where he has always been well
treated; where he probably has more
enthusiastic friends than in any
other city. and where many OF his
successes on the mat have bsen won.
would be surprised to know Of dis
position on his part to have the event
in his career. since attaining the
championship. conducted anywhere
in preference to Rock Island. The
city has as equal accommodations to
those offered in Davenport. fand has
the advantage of location, being
equally convenient to both Moline
and Davenport. The match should
be wrestled in Rock Island.

TAFFY FOR EDHEM.
Correspondent Has No Trouble Get
ting This Kind of Stuff Over
the Wires.

London, April 28.-A dispatch to the
Daily Mail from Larissa, by way of
Elassona, dated Sunday evening, eulo-
gizes Edhen Pasha's conduct of the
campaign. The correspondent says:
I'VE first drove back the Greeks by
correct and patient strategy, without
hurry and without heavy loss, and then
we crowned our generals cautious
movement by bold, irresist-
ible blow The greater part of the
Greeks had taken to wild, disorderly
fight. The Turkish officers believed
it would have been impossible to rally
fugitives who displayed such arrant
cowardice. There was literally no
limit to the Greek disaster. Crown
Prince Constantine fed yesterday (Sat-
urday) afternoon in the utmost fear of
capture by the Turkish cavalry. Ac-
cOrdiEg to all accounts they We're close
at his heels. Only an hour or two and
Edhem Pasha might have brought off
his greatest coup.
THE rolling stock of the railway had
all been sent to NOlO, and could not
have been intercepted by our cavalry.
The Turkish citizens of LarisSa lived
in terror of their lives on account of
het threats of the Ethnike Hetairia.
The MusSulman who had just been ap-
pointed civil governor told me he had
been unable to leave his residence dur
ing the last fortnight.
Il visited the town hall, the head
quarters of the general who had cap
tured the town. He is an old, tanned,
grizzled and good natured warrior. He
modestly said to me; My success is
due to luck alone. We happened to be
coming along and walked into the
town There was no fighting. They
ran away and I was in the right place.
That was all
THE Greeks and the Turks frater-
nize In a word, the Turkish army
entered the town in the guise of
friends rather than of conquerors.
When the main body of the Turkish
troops came this evening the inhabi
tants met them with joy, with salutes,
embraces and kisses. I myself was
kissed on both cheeks, dragged to a
cafe and compelled to drink because 1
Wore a feZ.
This apparent anomaly is explained
by the fact that the arrival of the
Turks was the home coming of many
who had been driven away by the
Greeks a month ago, and who had gone
to Salonica to fight under the Turkish
flag.

Turks, I can say that an ordinary

much more violent and difficult to re-

NEWS AT SANTA FE OFFICES.
Wires are Down and Particulars From
Disaster are Slim.

The heavy rain and wind storm in
Oklahoma caused much damage to the
Santa Fe tracks and telegraph lines
and Assistant Superintendent Avery
Turner left for Guthrie this afternoon
to investigate the situation and attend
to the repairing of the tracks and
bridges, and assist also in securing op-
Grafton of the trains which are now de-
layed.
But little definite information con-
cerning the storm has been received at
the offices, owing to the fact that the
telegraph wires are down below Guth-
Fie. The following message was re-
ceived at 8 o'clock this morning, from
Arkansas City:
"Cloudburst reported at Guthrie and
SO people are said to have been drowned
Impossible at this hour to secure accur-
ate infOrna ton. Telegraph wires are
down and tracks washed out in many
places"
This message came from Guthrie: "a
heavy rain storm, not a cyclone, but ap-
paTently a clOudburst. has stopped traf-
fic; washed out bridges. tracks and
telegraph poles; torn the country up
badly; did great damage to property
and is reported to have drowned 80 peO-
pie. Some reports indicate that so peo-
pie have been drowned, but the infOr
nation is not definite. Men are now at
work repairing telegraph lines and we
hope to get things cleared up within
few hours.
THE greatest damage has been done
west of this city, but the high wa ter and

dars the procuring of information out of
the question at this hour, a. m"
After receiving these messages the
Santa Fe officers began telegra phing
and have been at it all day, attempting
to secure further information but al 3
o'clock this afternoon had been unsuc-
cessful. All messages, coming princi-
paIly from Guthrie and Arkansas City,
others from Wichita, were merely re-
petitions of those received early this
morning and contained no furtner in
formation except that there was a food
in that country, caused by rains when
hegan at o'clock yesterday afternoon
and continued until late last night
Reports differ as to the number OF
people killed Some say so, others 50.

NOTES FROM THE WAR.
SaIonica No Longer in Fear-Greeks
Won't Leave Turkey.

TouIon, April 29.-Orders have been
! issued for further detachments of the
! French infantry to be ready for Crete
| at a moments notice.
| Constantinople, April 28.-An official
| dispatch received here from SalOnica
says that in an enga cement at Los Fa-
kia, the Greeks were compelled to re-
| treat with a loss of 400 killed and many
wounded. The report of the lombard
n1ent of Karaburni is denied in this dis
patch.
Salonica, April 28.-The people here
| have become caImer and the apprehen-
sion of an attack upon the part of the
Greek fleet is dying away.
St Petersburg, April 28--The first de-
tachment of the Red Cross society of
Russia consisting of two doctors and
20 sisters of mercy with all that is nee
esSary for establishing a hospital with
so beds, has started for the seat of
war.
ConstantinopIe. April 28.-The gov
ernor of Janina, province of Epirus,
telegra phs that perfect order prevails in
that town.
ConstantinopIe, April 28-The Turk
ish troops at LarisSa captured go artil-
Iery caissOns, in addition to a large
quantity of ammunition.
COnstantinOple, April est is now
believed the Greeks probably viii not
be expelled from the Turkish empire at
the expiration of the fortnight's notice,
beginning on Saturday, April 10, the
day the Turkish troops were ordered to
cross the frontier. Among the reasons
4OG ECLI8AH1tS from 4llelE expulsion IS
the fact that the Turkish government
has not the means to expel so many
people from the country.
Paris, April 2S.-The following semi
official announcement of this dispatch
was made: Pour parlois between
Paris, London, Rome and St Peters
burg with the view of attempting medi-
alton between Turkey and Greece have
been very active and are now assuming
more precise form. It is hoped that the
opportunity to mediate will arise be-
fore long. Germany and Austria are
kept informed of the progress of the
negotiations and do not disapprOve of
them''

ALL IS OVER WITH GREECE
No Power Can Revive the Panic
Stricken Army.

New York, April 28-A dispatch to
the World from London says:
That the Greek cause is now lost is
sorrowfully admitted by her Warmest
supporters here.
The details dribbliug in of the disorder
ed flight from LarisSa have effectually
killed any lingering hope of an effective
stand being made at PharsalOs. Greece
has not been vouchsafed a general Of
the stamp needed to restore the moral
of her army after such a lapse into
panic.
Whether the war will survive the dy-
nasti of dynty the war is now the
question agitating mems minds here.
News of the hemming in and capitu-
1atiOn of the Greek army, followed by
a revolution at Athens, is hourly ex-
pected.
Significant of the effect created by the
Larissa stampede is the silence of the
Hellenists in the house of commons.
They are accused of having egged Greece
to her destruction in pure Ightness of
heart, while the ministers, instead of
covering before the threa tened storm of
public Indignation, are regaining con-
f1dence in the belief that their course,
if less heroic, was after all the wisest
and most humane.
Mr.. BalfOur has made it plain that
there will be no European intervention
unless at the invitation of one of the
combatant An appeal from Greece is
regarded as highly inproba ble but it
is thought that the sultan may seek to
rehabilitate himself, further with Eu-
rope by placing himself in the hands of
the powers in the full flush of victory.

GOLD GOING AGAIN.
$1,5oo,ooo Engaged for Shipment
to Europe Tomorrow.


New York. April 2S.-One million five
hundred thousand dollars gold coin has
been engaged for export tomorrow
The Journals money article says:
OF higher speculative Importance
than the local warfare in Greece has
been the trend of the international ex-
changes against the New York money
center. A further decline OF drafts
upon London in continental markets
has made more imminent the begin
ming of a gold export movement from
New York. The profit has been infin-
itesimal and as all of the regular gold
shipping houses are interested in the
Lake Shore and New York Central re-
funding schemes, an agreement was
easily reached to avoid shipments un-
til a wide margin of profit made them
matter of necessity. There are several
houses with facilities that permit the
handling of international gold transac-
tiOns that are not in these syndicates.
The gold is destined for Austria.
When the margin of profit is so mar
row as at present shipments are denOIn-
mated special transactions meaning
that the market has not reached a point
where a general export movement of
gold is warranted. Special transac-
tions.' however. are the sure fore
runners of a general outward move
ment of gold.
It is not of much Importance in the
ped this week or next month. The con-
ditions are forcing a gold movement
to Europe which will be of much
greater proportions than is generally
believed in Wall street.
LOTS OF 1T TO CO.
New York April 28.-Of the 81 SOC, 900
gold for Europe. $1.000.000 was with
drawn by Lazard FrereS and $500. 900
by Kidder Peabody & Co. of Boston
Both shipments go by the NOrmannia
tomorrow. It is understood the New
York house sends it's gold to Germany
Both Withdrawals were made in regular
form by presentation of treasury notes
at the Sub-treaSury.
At the banking house of Lazard
Freres it was stated to a representa-
tive of the Associated Press that the
shipment was made in the regular or
der of business to Hquidate indebted
ness, and was not a purchase of gold
on an order from Europe, as was said
of the shipment of $1,00C,O00 on Satur-
day. Lazard Freres' representative
said further that it was not unlikely
that further shipments of the same
character would be made by them
Withdrawals of gold coin for shipment
are also in prospect by other houses for
shipment on next Saturdays steamer.
The shipments are the result of the
dissolution of the tacit agreement
among the foreign bankers not to ship
gold until sterling exchange should rise
to the basis of $4.88A for demand ster-
ling actual ra teS. Demand sterling IS
sold TODAY at S487sz as a result Of the
dissolution of the agreement. The to-
tai shipments so far announced this
week. amount to 81, AT, 900 and 1t is gen
orally felt that this is the Inauguration
of a regular gold export movement,
which had already been deferred sever
al weeks beyond the normal by the
heavy exports of merchandise. tt is
likely that the export of gold would
have been deferred some time longer
had it not been for the extraordinary
demand for the metal made on London
by Austria and Japan.

note, the king yesterday told M. Delyan-
mis- for the future to refrain from in
terfering in any way with the direction
of the campaign.
considerable excitement was caused
in the city today by the presence in the
streets of a large number of reservists
whom the authorities had neglected to
arm. They are highly incensed at be-
ing thus kept idle while the Turks are
advancing, This afternoon a strong
shop. There were no police in sight and
the reservists completely wrecked the
shop. At the same moment a gang
pillaged two other shops. The cry was
I'VE want to go to drive the Turks out
of Greece"
Great crowds then went to the Pal
ace square, where they overheard the
ring leaders of the reservists melting
the people to acts of violence by assur-
ing them that there were no troops left
in the palace. Among the discontented
deservists the most incensed are the
Greeks from Turkey, who complain
that it is absolutely useless for them to
return to Turkey without arms as they
are certain to be massacred.

DEBOE WINS.
He is Elected u. s. Senator
From Kentucky.

Frankfort, Ky, April 28.-Deboe was
elected to the United States senate to-
day. The vote stood Deboe Il; Martin,
II; Stone, 1; Blackburn, so.
The crowd that filed the house
chamber, aisles, lobbies and galleries
long before noon, was the biggest seen
in 10 years in the historic hall. Every
one believed a senator was at last to
be elected after a struggle that had last
ed through two sessions, through 112
ballots and at a cost to the state of
more than $100, 0OO The Blackburn peo-
pie hoped to the last.
The crowd made enough room at -
O'Clock for the 38 senator to get in
side, a feat that seemed impossible be-
fore they came.
After the official declaration of the
election of Deboe, there were such loud
demonstrations that even the telegraph
offices in the lobby had to suspend busi-
ness and nothing but the bare ballot
could be sent out. The excitement was
intense as it ended a contest that has
been waged here since last year.
Senator Blackburn and his friends
after fighting hard for over a year in
the regular and extra sessions went
down with colors flying. The silver
Democrats conceded their disappoint-
ment and the gold Democrats Joined in
the jOllificatiOn. There never was such
a scene in the Kentucky state house.
Senator DebOe will proceed to Washing
ton at once with his credentials to as
sist in reorganizing the United States
senate and in the passage of the tariff
and other measures, on which the lines
are closely drawn.
The cheering that never ceased till the
assembly adjourned sine die in widest
confusion, began when the 68th vote for
senator was taken. DebOe had II when
the roll call ceased. The Blackburn
people called for the absentees and vot-
ed solidly for their man. Martins voice
was very low and his face very white
when he said Blackburn
He believes yet that Blackburn could
have made him the senator. Norman
and Baird both voted for Deboe. Stout
held out and voted for Martin. Ogilvie
was away as was also Deboe. The lat
ter could not be called on for a speech
in the confusion and stayed down stairs
where he received the congra tula tons.
Blackburn shook hands with his faith
full friends and left for his hotel about
as usual. He left for his home in Yer
sailles this afternoon. Senator Dehoe
will receive his certificatiOn go to his
home in Crittenden county and to
Washington not later than Saturday.
Bradley sat in one corner of the as
sembly and broadly smiled his satisfac-
ton and triumph while the cheering
shook the old state house.
