GREECE ACCEPTS 1T.
Speech of M. Delyannis Is Received
with Enthusiasm at Athens.

Athens, April 1873 p. ma late
special sitting of the executive assem-
bly, was held to-day. The public gall
leries were crowded. Amid intense
excitement NJ. Delyannis, the premier,
announced that the Turkish govern
ment had to-day notified Greece of the
rupture of diplomatic relations on the
ground Of the aggressive attitude of
the Greek government. In a cool but
deliberate speech he reviewed the re-
cent events to show the contrary, that
Turkey had been the aggressor; that
his troops had attacked the Greeks and
attempted to occupy neutral positions
and that her batteries at Prevesa had
sunk the Greek ship Macedonia.
Turkey" said NJ. Delyannis, de
clares war against US. We accept it."
This statement was received with pro-
longed cheers from the galleries and
the fooc of the chamber.
The premier then read dispatches re-
citing the events which had happened
on the frontier and with reference to
the reported capture of Menexa, he
said that the batteries at that i'm
portant position had been brought into
action, but he knew nothing of its al
legged capture. He added that the
Turks, after repeated attempts to force
a passage at Reveni, which commands
the road to Larissa, had been driven
back. The leader of the opposition,
amid renewed cheers from all parts of
the chamber and from the galleries,
eloquently endorsed the patriotic de-
clarations of M. Delyannis.

Mr.. CRAMP SPEAKS.
He Corrects Rumors Afoat Concern
ing the Brooklyn.

Philadelphia, April 1S.-Henry w.
Cramp, vice president of the Cramp
Ship Building company, today denied
the report that bill for $l3S,000 had
been sent to Secretary of the Navy
Long for repairing the cruiser Brook
lyn. He added that the navy depart
ment has not received any bill at all
from the Cramps and are not likely to
for some little time. When that docu-
ment does go to Washington it will not
foot up $13S,000, nor anything like that
figure.
1t was set forth in the report that
the estimated cost of the repairs by the
navy department was $4,000 or $4,000
and that upon this basis the vessel was
turned over to the Cramps. Further
more it was alleged that George W.
Melville, chief of the bureau of steam
engineering and other department
chiefs urged that the work be given
out by contract instead of being given
to the Cramps upon the terms they
suggested. 1t was intimated that the
bill will not be paid without vigorous
protest but Secretary Long has really
no alternative except to pay it, since
the work was given out by his prede-
cassor, Secretary Herbert.
I'm all this" said Mr. Cramp, there
awarded to us on our own proposition
and the government will pay the bill.
Everything else is false entirely"

business Mt the Extra Session.

The length of time the Fifty-fifth Con-
gress is likely to remain in extra session
Is an interesting question with the politi-
clans Some of them fix the limit at two
months. while others are expecting the
session to last until July 1.
When discussion Of m extra session first
began. the popular idea was that no leg
islation outside OF a tariff bill would be
attempted. The program suggested was
that tariff bill should be ready for the
House upon it's organization. that the
House should take this up. briefly discuss
it and promptly pass it. and then rest on
its oars until the Senate could complete
the work. Upon examination. however it
Is discovered that by this plan the Senate
would be kent idle while the House was
debating and passing the tariff bill. and
the House idle while the Senate was
viewirg its labors. This, of course. is ont
of the question. A majority of the House
could not be kept here for weeks for no
other purpose but to pass on the compro-
mise report on the tariff bill. nor would
the Senate care to sit with folded hands for
several weeks pending the receipt of TIE
bill from the House IN the first place.
The extra session of the new Congress,
therefore. is likely to take up and pass
upon other important measures beside
tariff measure. Just what other measures
is a pIoblem. Other important questions
are pressing. Mr.. Wolcott will be back in
February with Information bearing on the
silver question. and not improbably, 1t is
thought. that will be reserved for use at
the extra session If Congress at this ses-
sion should fail to take action on the prop
Osition for an International monetary con-
ference. BY this arrangement the Senate
would begin with the financial question,
while the House was disposing of the tariff
question. leaving the House to dispose of
the financial question while it. the Senate.
completed the work on the tariff
Much. however. will necessarily depend
On the actual situation when the new Con-
gress meets. and on the ability of the re-
pubifcans to muster a majority vote in the
Senate. If matters are safely within re-
publican control, by combination or other
wise. in the Senate, expedition of business
will be possible. But if they lose the con-
tests In North Carolina and Kentucky they
will be left very much to the mercy of the
opposition. But whatever is done, whether
much or little. at the extra session will be
so much deducted from the work of the
regular session next winter. and will enable
the party in power to bring about an early
adjournment in the spring of 1895

The Crying of Sunday Papers.

The present local regulation forbids the
crying of Sunday newspapers except be-
tween the hours of / and 1880 in the morn
ing The proposed regulation, which will
not go into effect until after notice by pub
hcation for the statutory period, sor5ids
such crying altogether or Sunday NearIy
all the yelling by newsboys of which COM
plaint has been made has occurred eitter
before or after 10:3o O'Clock disturbing
the sleeping public in one case and the
worshipping public in the other This nui-
sance is forbidden by the present regula-
rion as completely as by the proposed new
rule The main results sought by the ad-
vocates of the latter could probably have
been attained through strict enforcement I
of the existing ordinance, the police at first
admonishing the early or late newsboy
with the fog-horn voice that he is violating
the law The main need has seemed to be
not OF more law. but of better enforce
ment of the law; and there has been no
great popular uprising to emphasize the
latter need If the new ordinance when N
goes into effect, is not more stringentiy
enforced than the present regulation. no
hardships will fall upon the newsboys in
The reasonable pursuit of their business
and the effect will be merely to authorize
the police to quiet caiiiope- toned announce
ments of Sunday newspapers between the
hours of and 1880, as readily as they
may now suppress such noises at all OF he r
times on Sunday. In view of the existjns q
law there does not appear to be 2 cryi, 2
demand for the new ordinance: but Ysh.tb her
the proposed regulation becomes law or
Goes not. neither Christianity nor the hveIi
hood Of the newsboys seems 10 be seriously
menaced.
