spondent of the Daily Telegraph, under
date of Wednesday, says:
Following is the Official despatch from
Mai. Pallis chief Of staff of the Greek
forces in Thessaly, describing the hght at
Pharsalos:
"The Turks attacked our advance posts
at 9 o'clock. Since yesterday the enc
my's movements had indicated an lnten-
ton tC cut off our left wing, and to-day
they attacked our front. Our advance
posts retreated, as they were hghtng
against very much superior numbers, ana
took up a position in front Of our right
wing.
IAN artillery duel ensued along the
extensive line The enemy's infantry ad-
yanced in perfect order at three points
and in large numbers, but they were
speedily checked by our infantry.
THE respective losses are as yet I'M
known. The Crown Prince took very
active part in the combat and advanced
within range of the Turkish fire, greatly
inspiring the men. Prince Nicholas was
equally active at the right wing, and di-
rected the fire of his battery against the
Turkish batteries. His GOODNESS greatly
encouraged the troops.
I'VE maintain all our positions intact
and the engagement will certainly be
continued tomorrow Thursday. We
calculate that about $4,000 Turks attack
ed our wing. They rushed down the
hilslopes i'm vast numbers. The enemy
was our superior in both artillery and
cavalry, the calibre of their guns was
larger. while their numbers was almost
double ours We had no cavalry, be-
cause our only squadron has been used
for scouting. and had gone to Trikkala.'

pulsed. The Turkish plan was to seize

OPENING CATTLE PRICES.
Railroad Men Pleased at Montana
Stock Sales.

Word was received at the general
freight office of the Northern Pacific
O yesterday of the safe arrival and
sale in the Chicago market of the
trainload of Montana range cattle
which passed through here on Sunday.
The advices state that the tops or
fat cattle, brought $40. while the run
of the stock brought $3.50 in the Chicago
market. The stock was shipped by the
Standard Cattle company and the West
ern Union Beef company, both of Fall
lon, Mont, and comprised the initial
shipment of the year.
These prices compare very favor
ably with the first prices last year."
said General Freight Agent Moore yes
terday, land considering the condition
of the stock, h market is perhaps a
little stronger. The general tendency
will be to advance. In my judgment
there will be a large number of feeders
shipped in from the ranges to be sent
to the cor country adjacent to the
market for fattening. The Montana
, people will hardly ship in as much
stock as they did last year, owing to
the fact that the ranges were not re-
plenished two and three years ago
with stock from Texas. The movement
will be probably Is per cent less than
that of last year."
