Athens, April Is. The chamber OF
deputies, otherwise known as the boule,
met this evening. All the members in the
city We're present. as Were also very
large number OF spectators, who com
pletely filled the galleries.
Amid the deepest silence, Prime Minister
Delyanms assembled the tribune and AN
nounced the fact that Turkey had notified
the Greek government OF the rupture Of
the relations between the two countries,
using as a preuext the alleged aggressive
attitude of Greece.
NJ Delyannis enumerated the events of
the last few days to show what the con-
trary was the case and that Turkey was the
aggressor The Turks, he declared, had at
tackled The Greeks and attempted to occupy
neutral positions, and had sunk Gre
clan steamer al the entrance to the Gulf
of Arta.
Turkey declares war on u.s. said NJ.
Delyanns, land we accept ILL.,

longed cheers by the members, the Occu-
pants of the public galleries enthusiastic

proyal.

official dispatches confirming the news
of events on the frontier These showed
that the Turks, after repeated attempts
to force a passage at Reveni, in an at
tempt to move on TO Larissa, had been re-
pulsed by the Greek troops.
The receipts of the news ofGreck victories
has caused unbOunded excitement here
The principal streets are densely thronged
with people of all classes and conditions,
eagerly discussing every scrap Of inforna-
ton
All sorts of rumoIs are in circulation,
but majority OF them tell of the Greek
successes Up to the time of sending this
dispatch the list OF killed and wounded
has not been received and the greatest
anxiety prevails among all those having
relatives and friends at the front, lest
they have met with misfortune.
The last two classes of the reserves of
1885 have been summoned to join the
colors.
The troops hitherto remaining in Athens

the disparity of strength on the part OF
Greece, our people can only hope that her

of Europe, and that Great Britain and

event OF war one OF the effects would be

FIGHTING FOR LIBERTY.
The Greeks Resolved to Liberate
the Men of Their Race.


Boston, April 1S.-Mr. Timayonis, the
Greek consul in Boston, takes the news of
war between Turkey and Greece as
matter of course. He said to your CORE
spondent tonight,
The whole Greek nation is aroused,
and the country is arlame with the spirit
of liberty. Greece'S whole attitude
throughout the Cretan trouble has been
Intended TO prove to the world that she
is a leading spirit in the settlement of
the Eastern question. The Greeks are
resolved either TO liberatc those of their
own race who are still under Turkish
rule, or else to be eXterminated in the
attempt. The Ethniki Hetariara is back OF
this whole aggressive movement against
Turkish barbaEty and misrule. 1t is an
enormous patriotic organization. You may
judge OF the character of the society when
| tell you that / 800 officers in the Greek
army. as well as the king and other MEM
bers OF the royal family are members of
it.

cause OF the war, will now become a mat

not all, the fighting viii be done in that
territory At first sight Greece might be
thought TO be at a disadvantage with
Turkey. Greece can raise altogether about
800 900 men, while Turkey has perhaps
zoe. 600 available, but every man of the
Grecian army can go to the front, While
Turkey win require large armies to keep

Dr. Steiner DiSCOurseS on Reveia-
tions OF Gospel War.
At Typographical Temple yesterday
afternoon a large audience heard DE-
,foscpn Steincrs lecture on "Some Reve-
latioas OF the Gospel Of Law" DR.. Steiner
saId: THE law of geEetics has divisions
that ovarshadow the divisions of modern
science. II stands tire search of the best
criticism, and when genetics becomes
as well known and understood as natural
philosophy, it will displace philosophy.
Aoaem science really occupies the po-
Sition Of genetics."
Existence in regard to cause and sequence
is divided, first in the body, which contains
the principal source OF perception, that is
diScernment ana understanding; second,
the substance and essence of soul contain
iaG the source of conception, that is appre-
hension and comprehension: third, form,
as in mechanics and arts, containing the
source of reflection in regard to functional
ity; fourth, experience, both real and ideal
the sequence OF which is reason, which as
di, ided into education and judgment
Phenomena are the results OF genelics
which is the result Of the law of Karma.
Conception is divided into the tractive,
which dominates space, the pulsive, winch
dominates matter, the tensiye, which
dominates omniprcsence, and the pansiye,
which dominates Limitation.
Many scientists present commented on
Dr. SteineI'S address. during the course Of
which it was asserted that science which
is followed 10y the few is positive in Iela-
ton TO religion which is followed by Jile
many also that "science is in harmony,
while religion is more in conflict" The
more religious conflict the better they sue
coed. Many quotations Were made from
the work, Conflict Of Science and Reli-
gion," by Andrew ID. White, recently ap-
pointed ambassador TO Germany.

THE OPPOSING ARMIES.
A German Officer Thinks Turkey
Is the SUPERIOR.

London, April 1s.-A dispatch to the
standard from CCnStantinOpc says that
the German general whom Emperor Will
liam sent To inspect the armies on the
frontier, has returned to the Turkish cap
ital. lie reports that everything in the
Turkish army is satisfactory, except the
transportation branch. He estimates the
Turkish troops at 100000 His opinion of
the Greek army is hardly so favorable.
Many out of the 10000 Greek troops, he
considers, are incapable OF withstanding
the fatigue and exposure incident to a cam
paicn, while their armaments are inferior
to those Of the Ottoman army.
