FIGHTING ON THE FRONTIER.
Invaders Still BeSege BaltinO.

r LARISSA, April II a p. m.l-The IN
vaders continGe to blockade Baltino. 1t
is reported that Turkish reinforcements
are now en- route from Diskata. The
remainder Of the insurgents have taken
up strong positions near the noun
tains. The latest details at hand are
that the invaders dynamited the Turk
ish post opposite Phoenika and Perili-
anglia The troops here were kept
standing under arms until 8 o'clock
yesterday, as it was feared that the
raid would hasten hostilities.
Elassona, April 12-The Turkish staff
officer who was sent to Krania by
Edhem Pasha to ascertain definitely
with respect to the invasion reports
that the presence of Greek regulars
among the invaders has been positively
proved, and that there is also good
reason to believe that Greek officers of
the regular army were in command.
Rome, April 12.-It is semi-officially
announced that Turkey and Greece
have each addressed to the powers
statements of pacific character in re-
gard to the encounters on the Mace
DOMAIN frontier, which are described as
mere frontier Incidents"
London, April 12-The Chronicles
correspondent at Kalambaka says that
at o. M today fighting was still go
ing on a few miles west of Baltino.
Many Of the irregulars are returning
to the frontier for food. This after
noon a Turkish captain and his men,
after heroic resistance, escaped from
Baltino. Last evening there was a
heavy fall of snow. and the irregulars
were much exhausted with the cold,
which was intense.

On Aug. l. 1892, all bills were paid, and a

The present large deficiency has been made
since that time The legislature of 1891 hav-
ing appropriated $4,000 to pay all bills to
July 81, 1891.
Forty-fve thousand dollars can be saved to
the state, the friends of the bill claim by
its passage. At the present time 1t is a sort
OF a go-as-you-pleaSe arrangement, so far as
the state printing Is concerned. There is GER
tain work done under the supervision Of the
state printing commission which under the
present system, 1t is allowed, is now being
done as cheaply as possible. But it is
claimed the whole system is wrong. At the
present time the state buys its own paper
and has some of 1T stored in every printing
Office in the state where a job Of work is
likely to be done. Some Of it, in times past,
has been stored in the capitol only to be
vides for each printing contractor, when he
bids on a piece Of work of including the cost
of the paper in the bid the same as is done
by every mercantile concern in the state
which lets printing contracts.
The stationery bills of the state alone are
something enormous. Several hundred dollars
a year are spent in pens and ink and blot
ters and the little supplies furnished each
office. The printing commission has nothing
to do with this The secretary of state has
the full say about 1t. Which may explain the
enormous figures paid for stationery during
the census bureau era. The printing COM
mission has nothing to do with the publish
the whole thing in the matter and where
other state officers get one or two copies Of
the book he has scores to give around as he
sees At The old law allows s0 unlimited
deficit to be piled up every Sra,, wHile the
new law distinctly sl'tehec that not cent
shall be spent over and above thG appropria-
ton. Besides, ii provides that each office
its contingent fluid. 1nsleHd of $2,7OO being
snent in a wear for rubber bands and pencils
and such like if each office had to buy these
things out of its contingent fund it is claimed
il would not amount to more than $500
year.

add that during the last few days the
situation had become calmer. In the
meanwhile active discussions were pro-
ceeding between the powers relative to
the question Of appointing a govern
ment for the island Of Crete and insti-
tuting a militia on the basis of the au-
tonomist constitution promised. AS to
the Greek raid into Macedonia, Mr.
CurZon assured the house that from in
formation which the government re-
ceived, the raid was entirely unauthor-
lied by the Greek government and was
not participated in by the Greek regu-
lar troops. Further, it had been dis
avowed by the Greek government, and
the government Of Turkey had an
nounced that, if the raid was not re-
peated, Turkey would not treat it as
a casus belli, as she might have done
In reply, Sir William Harcourt said
that, although the government declined
his challenge, he would not decline its
challenge, although he was of the opin-
ion the matter was of so great i'm
portance that 1t ought to have been
discussed on a definite issue. Mr.. Bal
four, Sir William continued, complained
that his motion was not sufficiently
censorious, but If the motion had been
carried it would have turned out the
government. What more did her
majesty's government want? WHY did
not the government substitute for it a
vote Of confidence? The reason was
that the government would not face
the question of the forces of the crown
being employed against Greece
Mr.. Labouchere said that in view Of
the thorough distrust felt in the gov
ernment and Of the serious crisis in
the East. he did not think the eye
of parliament ought to be closed for
a fortnight. He therefore moved that
the house do not adjourn. This motion
was rejected, 210 to 49, and Mr.. Bal
four's motion to adjourn over Easter
was carried. Only the Radical members
supported Mr. Labouchere's proposal
The front opposition bench and the
other Liberals abstained from voting.

Some Plain Truths Regarding the
Care of Public Money.
PHILADELPHIA. Pa, April 12.-John
Wanamaker this afternoon declined to be a
candidate for state treasurer of Pennsylva-
MIA In his letter of declination to the COM
mittee of the National Republican League OF
Business Men, which urged him to stand for
the office, he makes some interesting state
ments One reason for his action is stated
to be the conclusion reached, after full in
Quiry that the present legislature will enact
a law providing for the payment OF interest
upon state deposits, and thus correct the
most vicious evils in the conduct of the state
treasury" -
Continuing Mr.. Wanamaker says: THE
present system of eecting state treasurer
to conduct the state treasury as an adjunct
to the state committee of the Republican
party is fraught with incalculable evil Favor

specially organized and oflcered, receive de.
posits and control state moneys far out OF

except under the same power that elects the

erful political machine holding the treasurer
under control deprive the public schools and

a time Of the moneys due them which are ~

Delyannis, however, clearly explained
to me today that if the Hetairia had
not cut the gofdian knot, the govern
ment would have been obliged to take
decisive steps within a few days.
Greece, he added, in the present state
of her finances, could not maintain an
army of 10000 men under arms any
length of time without enormous sacri-
fees, so that if there is to be fighting
it must come Immediately.
LONDON, April IA correspondent
Of the Daily News who accompanied
the raiders will say tomorrow. On Sun
day, April 4, having heard from scouts
that the Turks were very strong at
the point where we intended to cross
the frontier, Mulonas ordered the camp
to break up and decided to return to
Kalabak The next day we marched
northwest along the river Peneios and
encamped at a mill near the village Of
Meritsa. On the road Amilcare Cipri-
ana and his italian volunteers lost
their way and did not overtaNe the
main body until Wednesday. just as
the latter was about to move north
ward, after remaining stationary on
Tuesday, which is an unlucky day. The
Italians, who are not used to such
rough marching were completely ex-
hausted and had to rest the whole
day at the mill. Meanwhile the main
body marched to the gorge of Kako-
plevri, where it remained in camp un-
til Thursday.
During the night Davelis, the we'll
known Macedonian chieftain, disguised
as Turkish peasant, advanced aIorg
across the frontier and reconnoitered.
He returned during the afternoon. and
before nightfall we ascended higher In
the mountains and encamped about an
hours distance from the frontier
