PORTE PROTESTS 70 POWERS
AGAINST THE GREEK INVASION
AND SAYS 1T IS A CAsUs
BELLI.
THE ROAR OF ARTILLERY WAS HEARD
At Larissa sunday MOrning-The Sc
cretIy Planned Raid Said to
He Part of the Greek
Program.

London, April 1.-THE Times will
print the following dispatch from its Ath-
t1s correspondent tomorrow:
'The porte, in protesting to the pow
FRS against Greek invasions, says that
The regular Greek army entered Turkish
territory near Grevena and committed
acts of hostility by destroying three posts.
"The protest further declares that these
acts partially constitute an act of agrees
sion and a casus belli and denounces
Greece as an aggressor in the affair.
The choice of the moment to begin war
does not rest with King George or with
the government, but with Ethnike He
taria. The activity of this organization
has been conferred mainly in Macedonia
and only nominally in Crete. The rebel
lion in Crete was planned for March, but
was precipitated by the violence of GER
tain Cretan Mohammcdans and broke
out six weeks earlier than was intended
The Cretan movement was designed to
be subsidiary. The Macedonian move
ment was planned for a much later date
owing to the greater rigor of the Macedo-
Man climate, which is not favorable to
active operations much before May
Even this news has travelled faster than
was expected. Even If the Cretan ques-
ton had not arisen there would have been
an attempt to carry out the scheme for
an uprising in Macedonia"

LIKELY TO BE REVOKED.
Clevelands Order Consolidating
Pension Agencies.


Washington, April 12-The sweeping
order of President Cleveland affecting
consolidation of pension agencies will
be revoked by President Mckinley if
present plans are carried out. Though
1t is stated that no conclusion has been
reached on the matter, the president has
had time to inquire into it and to hear
protests of congressional delegate and
it is learned practically has become con-
WINGED that it should never be allowed
to become operative.
The order is to take effect September
l, but doubtless will be rescinded long
before then. Commissioner of Pensions
Evans declares this as his opinion, and
he today. forwarded for the considera-
ton of the president and secretary of
state a report setting out that instead
of making a saving of considerably over
S1OO,OOO in the way of clerk hire. etc,
it would increase the expenditures by
100000. This is accounted for by the
character of the business agencies. The
report claims that the agencies consti
tuted are cheaper agencies" that is.
agencies where rentals, clerks hire and
similar expenses are not comparatively
high.
New York, with pension roll of So
600. is shown to have clerk hire allow
ance OF Soo,OOO. the same amount ac-
corded the Columbus, o., agency. which
has double the pension roll or 100000.
In this connection the following figures
are given as significant:

London Finances.

London, April 11-Money market is
unusually easy, the result of the release
of 100000 pounds sterling in the form
of dividends. This has compelled the
Bank of England TO reduce the rate in
the open market to show a light de-
crease.
There was an improvement on the
Stock Exchange at the beginning of last
week in consequence of the impression
that this eastern trouble would be tided
over. But this was followed by a re-
lapse on Friday after receipt of the I'M
favorable news from the Turkish Greek
frontier. From this relapse. there was
partial recovery on Saturday. The ten
dency of the market apart from the
fluctuations due the news from the east
has certainly been favorable since the
bank reduced its rate. A large amount of
money is now finding its way into the
Stock Exchange. Home funds and rail
ways in particular have profited by this
and are showing in general substantial
advances. Foreign securities also have
moved upward except Greeks and Tur-
kish, which still are depressed. Ameri-
cans closed weak except New York Cen
trail. The market for them is very I'M
settled and entirely dependent upon Wall
street adyices. Chicago. Peoria and st.
Louis and the trunk lines have recovered
the former showing a rise of 1 7-S
Argentine stocks are in good favor and
have improved from 1 to 2 per cent The
mining market is much unsettled, especial
ly in South African securities, which
show very general decrease in values.

Washington, April 12.-The senate met
at noon for the first time since the death
of ex-senator Voorhees,, who until re-
Gently was a conspicuous member of that
body.
The opening prayer of Rev. DR.. Mil
burn, the blind chaplain, made eloquent
reference to Mr.. Voorhees, brilliant tai
ents, imprisoned ardor, kindling elo-
quence, genuine patriotism and the I'M
selfish dedication of his great powers
to every cause, human and divine. which
enlisted his career. Divine consolation
was invoked for the family of the man
who has inscribed his name on the tab
let's which perpetuate the great orators
and statesmen of his generation. Imme-
diately following the prayer Mr.. German
moved, as further mark of respect to
their late associate, the senate adjourn,
adding that many senators desired to at
tend the funeral. The motion prevailed.
and at 1905 the senate adjourned.

His Troops are Ready to Fight-Not
Responsible for Invasion.
New York, April 1.-THE Press will to-
morrow print the following from its cor
respondent Mt Larissa:
| had a personal interview with Crown
Prince Constantine, commander-in-chief
of the Greek troops, at his headquarters
here this afternoon. The prince talked
freely of the situation now confronting
the people. He said:
81 am fully prepared to make war when
it becomes necessary. My troops are in
excellent condition and the warlike spirit
prevails in the soul of every man under
arms.
'If the Turkish army should make an
attempt to cross the frontier and attack
us, / should act promptly. | shall stand
by this decision, whatever may happen,
but | shall not do anything to force the
crisis.
''In the face of any popular demonstra-
ton favorable to declaration of war, |
am convinced that my soldiers would
prove true to their allegiance and would
obey me, no matter what influence was
brought to bear on them. Therefore do
not fear any hasty action on their part
without first considering my orders.
1.-THE incrusion into Turkish territory
by several rebel bands of armed Greeks
was wholly unauthorized by me and alb
solutely against my policy and my instruc
tons from the king, The attack will by
no means be used as an excuse to begin
war, and | should do my utmost to pre-
vent repition of such violation of the
neutrality laws.
1.-THE Turkish positions captured by
these rebels will not be occupied by the
Greek army nor will we aid the invaders
in any way. l shall remain here with
out waiting any aggressive action unless
forced to, no matter how long it may be-
until the Cretan question is finally
settled"

Manchester Market.

Manchester, April 1.-THE past week
was n moor one. the amount Of business
being unusually small. The prices for
yarns are dwingling constantly. And this
also is the case with the profits on cloth.
1t is simply a choice between the loss
of stopping manufacture and the loss in
carrying it ON. Such sales as have Oc-
Cured have been spread about evenly
over China, Japan, South America and
Egypt with a fair fraction for the home
trade. Reports from Rouen show that
the French market is doing good bust
ness with hardening prices. Among the
German manufactures there has been
virtually no change for some time.

Athens, April 1.-THE latest advices
here report that n portion of the invading
force continues to besiege the barracks
at Baltimo. The remainder has continued
the advance, but to destination yet un-
known at Athens, where it is reported
that communication between Metzovo and
Grevena are cut off. The Cretan refl-
gees here have addressed petition to
the embassies in which, after reciting
the whole history of the Cretan question,
declare that the only possible solution
of 1t is annexation, adding:
1--WE hope that Christian Europe will
be moved by our sufferings, martyrdom
and struggles for centuries to support our
claims for union with Greece"
The petition is signed by several
thousand Cretans.

precepts of liberty to do all in our power
| to lift them from the curse which bur-
| dens them"
When the attack began strict orders
were sent to all the Greek outposts on
the frontier to preserve neutrality and
not TO open fire unless actually attacked
by the Turks. The only casualties re-
ported here are the deaths Of two leaders
and Of three Italians.
News of the Raid.
London, April 1.-THE Times tomor-
row will print the following dispatch
from its correspondent at Larissa:
Goussie. the accredited representative
of Ethnike Hetaria, tells me he looks
for important news today Sunday. He
has been in conference with Greek depu-
ties and with leading supporters of the
patriotic movement who have recently
arrived here, and there seems to have
been deliberate plan to leave in the
sand of Ethnike the initial.
The Greek outposts are being quietly
strengthened and some Of the detach-
ments are proceeding to their positions
under cover of the darkness.
The latest information received here
on the subject of the raid shows that the
invading insurgents advanced towards
Chassinga.
1t is reported that the Turks opposed
the attack with artillery. The Greek
losses were twenty-three killed and
twenty-seven wounded. The Turkish
losses are said to have been much great
err 1t is rumored that yet another at
tack was made on the Turks at the rear
of Mount Olympus, where the Greeks
succeeded in planting flag. Stringent
orders have been issued against irregular
fighting and the penalty of death will
be imposed for any infraction. The gen
eral impression here is that war will be
proclaimed tomorrow Monday or Tues
day. The position of affairs is now ex-
tremely critical. All of the Turkish
army has not yet assumed the defensive,
but orders to that effect from the sultan
are expected at any moment. All classes
of troops are full Of war enthusiasm.
Some details are at hand at last as to
the skirmish near Geneva. On Thursday
morning 1900 Eusonoi, uniformed and
commanded by Greek officers, crossed
the frontier near Baltimon and advanced
to n point near Geneva. Here they met
Il detachment Of the Fifteenth chasseurs
on picket duty in the woods and hemmed
ing, the Sixth battalion of chasseurs
came to the rescue under the command
of Islam Pasha and drove the Eusonoi
back to the frontier. The insurgents lost
$50 killed.
At the same time the Greek artillery
was firing upon Turkish block house
and the firing continued until midnight
yesterday, the cOmbatants retaining their
respective positions. 1t is not known how
many Turks were killed. but it is said
the number was small.
