The Situation in the East.

ATHENS, May 1.-The Turks have
avoided making any further attack
upon Velestino. The Greeks, it is an.
nounced, occupy strong positions which
enable them to repulse superior forces.
1 CoNsTANTINoPLE May At has
been decided to increase the strength
of the Turkish army in the provinces to
800, 900 men. Including the troops in
Anatolia, Turkey will soon have $780,
900 troops under arms.
-Four transports with Turkish troops
on board passed through the Darda-
nelles, on Sunday on their way to the
Egean sea.
ROME, May Am Athens dispatch
asserts that M. Ralli, the Greek premier,
requests Riccotti Garibaldi to suspend
the enrolment of Italians, which leads
to the belief that secret negotiations to
end the war are proceeding.
LONDON, May "A special dispatch
received here from Aria this afternoon
says that force OF six thousand Greeks,
commanded by Colonel Baractharis,
while advancing on Pentepigadia has
been engaged by the Turks. A battle,
according to this dispatch, is now in
progress.
LONDON, May 4.-The difficulty OF
saying what has actually occurred al
the seat of war continues, but the pre-
sumption, from the known facts of the
military situation, is that Edhem Pasha
is feeling the Greek position at Phar-
salos preparatory to delivering gener-
al attack. Edhem Pasha's repeated as
saults on the wings of the Greek forma-
ton have probably the object of COM
pelliug Prince Constantine to send them
re en- forcements and thus weaken his
center at Pharsalos. We may soon.
therefore, expect to hear that Edhem
Pasha has struck hard at this weakened
point. 1t looks as though Greece were
giving up the game in Crete and the
recall of Col. Vassos can only be re-
garded as making for peace, and, is ap-
parently, the first step in that direction.
Greece may thus regain the friendship
of the powers, which have always stip-
ulated this amende before using their
good Offices at Constantinople. The
appointment of nominal successor TO
Col. Vassos is undoubtedly only blind
to allav popular protests.
Mr.. George N. Curzon, in the House
of Commons to-day, said that commu
nications on the subject of mediation
were continually passing between the
powers, who earnestly desire to see the
war between Greece and Turkey end.
ed. "But," he added, "the first essen
tial to successful mediation is evidence
that the belligerents arc preprred to
accept it.n

MEMPHIS, Tenu., May 1.-The river
at Memphis continues to fall, the de-
clines for twentyfour hours being l; /,
showing 35.1 feet of water above the
zero mark on the gauge, which is foot
and half below the danger line.
NEW ORLEANS, May 1.-The river
still remains stationary. Some of the
engineers now say that the danger may
not pass for three weeks. The weakest
levee now under treatment is at the
scene of the Davis crevasse, on the op-
posite bank of the river The rest OF
the line is being held by levee workers
and guards. At one of the levees a
suspicious looking negro was killed for
refusing to give an account of himself.

TUESDAY EVENING. MAY 1897.

THE New York Herald, that wed
with the Tribune of its own city in its
efforts to elect Mr. Mckinley, now says
"the merchants are driven to despair by
the retroactive feature Of the new tariff
bill, manufactures are idle, labor is I'M
employed and the trade and industry
of seventy million people are held in
suspension; that the spring trade has
been ruined and that of the fall endan-
gered by the bill referred to-" All this
is true, and more would be; but the
Herald renders itself ridiculous by say
ing so, for, if intelligent, it knew as we'll
last November as it does now, that If
Mr.. Mckinley should be elected,
higher tariff bill would be passed, but
if the democratic ticket should be sue
cessful the Wilson bill would stand,
and all uncertainty about the tariff be
removed. For the sake of their own
assumed possession Of common sense,
those who promoted the election of Mr..
Mckinley should keep mum in respect
of the patiently injurious effects of the
Dingley bill.
