American Museum Digging Up Fossil
Reptiles.
New York, July 22-The Herald
says:
An expedition sent on May first last
to Wyoming, by the American Muse
UNI of Natural History to search for
fossils Of extinct reptiles, has unearth-
ed specimens which will enrich the
scientific treasures of that institution.
DR.. j. L. Workman and Barnum
Brown are in charge of the expedition.
The work of excavation has been con-
Quoted near Laramie City. 1t has been
more successful than has been expect
ed. The principal work of the men,
bers of the expedition has been to un-
earth fossil dinosaurs, extinct Lizards,
which existed in Mesozoic age.
DIR. Workman and Mr.. Brown have
found two dinosaurs, each about fifty
feet long. On fossil has been exposed
and will be ready soon for shipment.
The other is being exposed. 1t is eX-
pected that a car load Of the specimens
will arrive soon in the city. The Amer
can Museum of Natural History has
had no dinosaurs. The finds of these
expeditions are therefore of consider
able satisfaction to the museum au-
thorities. The only other collection of
dinosaurs in the country which
amounts to anything are those of
Prof. Marsh, of Yale University, and
the late Prof e. D. Cope, of the Uni-
versity of Pennsylvania.
The museum has also two eXpedi-
tions working in Kansas and Nebras-
ka. In the former state the scientists
are securing fossils of pterosaurs or
pterodactyls. In Nebraska there is an
expedition for fossils of camels and ell
ephants. According to the reports
which have reached this city these two
expeditions have also been very sue
cessful.

SHIPPING GRAIN TO TEXAS.
Interstate Commerce Opinions Disre-
regarded.

regarded.
Kansas City, No., July 22.--All the
southwestern railroads are reconsign-
ing grain from Kansas City to Texas
local points at the basis Of the through
rates, despite the recent decision of
interstate commerce commission, which
practically dealt a death blow to the
reconsignment privilege at Kansas
City.
The full text of the decision has been
received by shippers and railroad men
of the city and they agree that it does
not apply to grain shipments to Texas
points. 1t affects the reconsignment
of grain, they say, at the balance of
through rate to Chicago and Mississip-
pi river points, bat this privilege was
withdrawn by the railroads last No
vember. The Missouri Kansas & Tex,
as and the Missouri Pacific roads
agreed today to handle grain to Texas
at this point in the old way. They
consider that the decision of the inter-
state commerce commission is only an
opinion and must be followed with an
order to the railroads to abolish the
reconsignment privileges before it can
become effective.

Minneapolis-With the very abundant
supply of wheat last week flour was
kept rather unsettled. The sales of
Minneapolis mills proper Appropriated
$4,000 barrels. This flour was largely
sold to the domestic trade, buyers
wanted -four, but at the old prices.
There were no very heavy purchases,
the sales being usually made up of
small orders. So far, the strength
of wheat has seemingly had little eff
feet on the trade and procrastination
is it's policy. Foreigners have not al
lowed the advances as well as the do
nestle trade, and therefore export
sales have been quite limited. First
clear seemed to be in better demand
and since local mills are pretty well
sold ahead on this grade they are ask
ing about 15c advance, but this has
checked trade. Second clear has been
in better request and sales abroad par
ticuIarly on the continent, have placed
this product in a more healthy posi-
ton. Red dog has been working to
some extent on the continent and has
advanced about sc a ton.
or-Duluth-Flour was ex-
tremely quiet last week and this tends
to cut down the output. For the past
week 10000 barrels or less are likely to
represent the production. The advance
in wheat last week largely cut off the
demand for flour. Export shipments
last week were 14,S00 barrles against
1900 the preceding week.
Mill feed is firm with some mills out
out of the market.
Milwaukee-All the mills are run
ming and they promise to make as
much flour this week as last. Some
millers last week made local sales, but
others did not fare as well. There
We're at least a substantial improve
ment. Feed was in good demand with
good sales.
ST. Louis-The advance in wheat
tended to unsettle and restrict bust
ness in flour last week and results were
disappointing. Foreigners, while rails
ms their bids, kept below millers'
views and sales were not large. Pat
ent was chiefly in demand and for
lower grades a discount had to be made
TO move them.

London, May THE Athens CORE
spondent Of the Times says: The news
OF the retreat from Pharsalos was at
frs received with CONSERVATION but
the public has already accepted the
situation and now regards the retreat
to Domokos as a strategic movement
dictated by prudence. It is generally
felt that General Smolenskfs defense
of Velestino has indicated the repu-
tation of the Greek army and wiped
out the disgrace Of Matt and Larissa.
The nations honor is untarnished.
But while ell this is so the old belli-
coSe enthusiasm of the Athenians has
vanished completely. On all sides the
desire for peace is expressed and should
the government invoke the intervention
of the powers il would probably be sup
ported by public opinion. The anti
royal feeling is visibly diminishing.
The demonstrations due to a change
OF cabinet and TO the flight from Lar

have not been repeated. The gallantry
of the princes a Pharsalos has also
had good effect. The main body of
General Smolenski's force arrived this
(t'rlday morning at II o'clock at Nv

exchanged between General Smolenski
and the government. All the inhabit-
ants of Domokos have fed to LAMA.

25.e00 Greeks on the TWO lines. He said
the order for retreat was given after a
council OF war held here to prevent the

superiority made possible. The COM
manders have no doubt of being able to
hold their present positions indefinitely.

Being asked # the removal of Colonel
Vassos from Crete was a preliminary to
the withdrawal of the Greek troops from
Crete. he replied: 1T has nothing to
do with it. 1t was considered that his
presence was required here on the
frontier. The withdrawal of troops from
Crete IS not under consideration by the
council.
The minister refused any information as
to the action of the great powers.
Your correspondent finally asked: May
the policy of your government be de-
scribed as one of war or peace?"
He replied: AS we are at war, ours
must naturally be a war policy, but the
object of war IS peace.

Enthusiastically Turkish army is
bivouacing in the is villages surrounding
Pharsalos, captured from the Greeks.
The battle began at 3 o'clock in the morn
ing. After slSirm,shes between the adj
vance posts of the opposing forces, the
Greek artillery opened fire with great pre-
cision. But TIE Turks pushed forward,
exposing themselves to the enemy's fire
with the greatest sangfroid.
The Greeks then made a fatal error in
leaving the commanding positions which
they occupied and retiring upon the plain
which was commanded on all points by
four batteries which were brought into
action as soon as the Greeks left the
hills. The scene which followed was both
interesting and cruel The Greeks from
all parts of the plain we're convereing
toward a stone bridge spanning the river
and which was the only means of get
ting over The mass of humanity at
this point was constantly growing when
the roar of the Turkish artillery began.
The Turks obtained the exact range Of

Turks Great Skill

London, May The correspondent
of the Times at Pharsalos says:
Great skill is displayed in the STRAIT
egy of the Turks. Four divisions from
Trikl,ala and Larissa are being stimuli
taneously concentrated at Pharsalos.
In the fighting a Nelestino the Turks
under Haiku Pasha stormed the first
line o. the entertainments of the
Greeks, who abandoned the second line
during the night. Haiku Pasha then
occupied the position. the Greeks hav-
ing retreated upon Volo. The whole
length Of the railway connecting Trik-
kaia, NelestinO and Larissa is now in
the possession Of the Turks This sec
ond flight of the Greek army shows
plainly that they will refuse to fight a
pitched battle. but their method of
conducting a campaign is difficult to
understand. The general idea is that
the war is now over.

houses had been strengthened by heaps
of turf and were loopholed for rifles.
