1t was the task of Neshat Pasha to at.
tack the Losphaki heights, the last Greek
stronghold commanding j'rYnavo. Inc
Turkish batteries, each gun dragged by
fifty men, pushed forward and oarded
the Greek position. A deep raVlne lay
between the infantry forces OF the TWO
armies. 1t was strewn with heavy rocks
and loose bouldsrs. After sharp lighting
the Greek batteries withdrew; but the
Greek infantry continued to defend the
position until compelled to retire.
Heavy fighting has been heard from
the direction OF Karoks throughout the
afternoon, and the struggle at Karya
still continues, each side. i'll turn, ad-
vancing and retreating across the
frontier.
Reinforcements were sent from this
pasha at Karya. When they arrive
there it is expected that the Greeks will
be finally repulsed.
The Greeks are now strongly entrenched
on the plain north and west of Lnrissa.
EdheIn Pasha is acting with the greatest
caution and deliberatiop.
Night Delayed in transmission The
Greek posts at Milouna and Tyrnavo,
were captured at noon today. The
Turkish headquarters have been removed
from Elassona to Milouna. 1t is
estimated that the Greek forces in the
Thessalian plain in front of Edhem
Pasha and between this point and La
rissa, number at least..ss60, 900; but the
Greek prisoners say that their reserves
are exhausted.
A military telegraphic line has been
extended to Milouna; but, as yet there Is
no postal service. From the heights can
be seen huge clouds of dust in the dis
tance, which indicate that large bodies OF
Greek infantry are en- route from Larissa
to defend the heights not yet captured at
Tyrnavo. But they will probably be too
late. The GOODNESS and courage of the
Turks in the attacks are beyond praise.

Interesting Talk BY Speaker on the Sub

tite Whetted-Cry of Distress from
Flooded Districts.
Washington, April s1.-Speaker Reed
gave an interesting talk upon the present
policy of the House, and Incidentally de-
clared his views upon labor organizations
today, in the course of one of the con-
ferences which are of daily occurrence in
the Speakers room. A delegation from
the American Federation of Labor,
headed by Samuel Gompers, the chief
officer of tie order, called to request
action by the Speaker and the House on
matters in which the Federation is in
terested. They presented a memorial
asking the appointment OF Representa-
tive Gardner of New Jersey to the COM
mittee on labor, aud also suggested
amendments to the eight hour laws The
speechmaking on the part of the Feders-
ton was done by Mr.. Gompers and p. J.
Mcguire. Mr.. Gompers said that there
was great distress throughout the
country, aud many unemployed and ex-
pressed hope that Congress would do
all in its power to aileviste the distress.
He remarked that there had not been as
much legislation in the interest of labor
by the last Congress as the laboring man
wished. They did not want to be put in
the light of making demands on Con-
grass; they merely desired to express
their wishes. They regretted that the
eight hour law was not more strictly en-
forced in its application to government
works. They desired it to be understood,
however, that they were antagonistic to
revolutionary leaiers and believed in
lawful and orderly agitation and in the
improvement Of existing conditions by
le gislation.
