OFFICIAL ACCOUNT OF THE FIGHT.
Fifty thousand Turks Attack the Whole
Greek Line at Domokns

Greek Line at Domokos,
London, May lathe Daily Chroni-
cle's correspondent at Athens sends the
following official account of the fighting
yesterday: "Over $4,000 Turks simultan-
eously and continuously attacked our
whole line. Our artillery and infantry
did splendid work. Twice all the resi-
ments of the enemy wavered and fled,
though their attack was soon renewed
with fresh forces, which in turn we were
able to hurl back. The stubborn resist
ance and splendid vigor of our troops
finally compelled the enemy to give way
altogether. All the attacks on our left
were similarly repulsed.
''On our right we did not fare so well.
The first attack of the enemy was re-
pulsed, but they massed in immense
forces for the next attack, Our first line
wavered and was broken; and the wing
would have been turned but for the
timely arrival Of the reserve. Still the
enemy had gained ground which it
was then impossible to regain, and we.
therefore, fell back on Bousi. The Turks
had $4,000 troops. with 10000 reserves.
Our force was only $4,000. We lost heay-
ily. but the enemy must have lost thou
sands"
The correspondent of The Daily Tele-
graph at Athens says: This afternoon
tMonday] has been one Of great ex-
citement. The whole city turned out to
discuss the news Of the fighting, and the
newspapers issued special editions. The
impatient crowds gathered around the
offices Of the ministry of marine, ques-
toned everybody coming out, and final
ly invaded the building. Word has been
received that General Mavromichalis
| has been severely wounded in the leg
and obliged to relinquish his command
| to another officer.
Another dispatch from Athens, re-
ferring to the Domokos disaster, saws:
This is Edhem Pasha's reply to the
foolish attempt Of Colonel Manos to
snatch victory in Epirus. If Greece had
prevented Manos from playing this last
! card of the gambler, Turkey might per-
haps have ceased hostilties. AS it is now
she Is in full possession of Thessaly, and
the powers will find the task OF protect
/ Ing Greece more difficult than ever"

ing. Congressman Charles
Towue. in calling the meeting to or
der said in part:
%Our motives are these: We de-
sire above all things Of immediate
political concern, the speedy rO-es-
tablishment in the United States Of
true bimetallsm tho same privilege
Of free coinage at the mint for both
gold and silver. and absolute equality
between them in all money power,
when coined with the option to every
payer, whether the Government or al,
individual, to choose what basis
shall be the basis of payment in
every instance. We will do all in
our power to advance this happy
contamination. and we realize that if
this great cause is to succeed in the
election Of 1893 and 1900 it can do 80
only through the addition to the al
lied armies OF 100000 that followed
the banner Of joint standard in 1896
of at least some hundreds of thous-
ands of the Republicans OF that con.
test. We have other plans, or may
have. and we believe in other things
also, but the restoration as basis of
primary money along with gold is
the first and engrossing object of our
activities and shall remain so until
the crescent OF promise shall have
rounded into the full orb of success.
"The general method of our pro.
cedure will be that demanded by the
depths Of our convictions and the
dominant Importance Of the issue
that has moved us. With US the
cause ID everything. Men and part
les sink into relative inconsequence.
All armies marching to invest the cit
idel Of the gold standard are our al
lies, and their soldiers our comrades.
We will Loyalty and tirelessly cooper.
ate with all other organized forms of
bimetallism that honestly profess the
faith and resClutely and undeviar-
ingly keep it. Harmony is Of vital
concern to the SUCCESS of the cause
and nothing but consideration of its
welfare shall limit the burdens we
will gladly bear or the sacrifices We
will eagerly make to advance it. But
the sincerity we offer we shall also
require"
Although nothing was fully deter
mined upon. a general plan Of or
ganization was outlined by the lead
ers. This plan contemplates the ap.
pointment of chairmen OF the State
committees. Those will appoint
county aud township committees.

tioA law:
81 telegraphed your prosecuting
attorney last year that, in my judg-

to be kept open on days on which
primary elections were held and, !

A primary election is no election
in the eyes of the law One might
get every vote cast at primary
election, and then not be elected to
office.
Again a primary election is not an
election by the state or any of its
departments itIs simply an elec.
tion held by a political organiaa-
ton, For this reason it would not
be a violation Of the law to keep
open saloons on days on which they
are held AS you know, the su,
preme court Of this state has held
that the annual school meeting for
the election of school directors is
not an election within the meaning
Of Section 1850, prohibiting dram
