THE TABLES TURNED.

The Turks Defeated at Velestino with

First to Enter Larissa-A Revelation of
Luxury.

ATHENS, April 3O.-''Sefulah Bey and
Gen. Grumbkoff led the first Turkish
squadron to Larissa. The cavalry ad-
vanced at gallop and at the bridge at
the entrance of the town Sefulah Bey
spurred forward at full speed. Some
of the Mussulman inhabitants shouted:
The bridge is mined But the two
officers did not pause and were the first
to enter the town and put up at the
Olympus, the principal hotel, which
was soon guarded by Turkish troops.
1.-The Crown Princess Konak was lux
urious and had splendid table serv-
ice, bedding, furniture, etc. The
Turkish soldiers, who are mostly sim
pile, good-natured rustics, were aston
ished at sights in the city.
Two Circassian cavalrymen finding
a store of Greek uniforms, donned two
of them and paraded the streets, only
keeping their Turkish arms. The tele.

a TARIEE MIDDLE
Caused by the Too Free Distribution OF
"Most Favored Nation" Treaties.

Caused by the Too Free Distribution OF
'Most Favored Nation" Treaties.
MONTREAL, April 2S.-Considerable
doubt is being expressed as to the sue
cess of the effort of the new liberal
government to establish preferentjai
trade with Great Britain. The latter
country ksc ROW ''most favored nation"
treaties with Germany, Belgium and
other countries, which expressly pro-
vide that in none of the colonies of
Great Britain shall the products of
those countries be subject to higher
import duties than the product of the
United Kingdom.
The action of the Dominion gov ern-
ment in making a reduction in the du-
ties on goods coming from Great Brit
ain has accordingly already brought
forth protest from these other coun-
tries. The consuls in the city for Bel
gium, Germany and Switzerland stated
yesterday that unless the same rebate
allowed on British goods was extended
at once to the exports of their coun-
tries they would report the fact to
their respective governments, which
would make immediate protest to the
imperial government.
In the event of the British govern
ment being thus forced to refuse the
royal assent to the new Canadian tariff
bill, the old conservative tariff would
come into force again; all duties coli
lected under the new schedule would
be subject to readjustment according
to the old rates, and considerable con-
fusion must necessarily ensue.
Terrorfzed by Edhem Pasha's Threat to
March Upon Athens.
LONDON, April 2S.-The Evening
News publishes a dispatch from
Athens, dated $40 p. m. yesterday,
saying the people there are frightfully
incensed at the retreat of the troops.
The dispatch further states that the
bitterness against King George and his
government is intensified by the news
that the Greek army in Eprius has
been ordered to suspend operations,
pending reconsideration of the situa-
ton by the ministers
Continuing, the dispatch says:
Indeed, it looks probable that to-
morrow will see the end of the whole
business There is reason to believe
the government is contemplating the
withdrawal of the Greek troops from
Crete and an appeal to the Powers to
settle the troubles. This change upon
the part of the government is due to
Edhem PaSha having intimated his
intention of marching upon Athens"

Resolved to Continue the War.

LONDON, April 3o.-It is semi-oficially
stated that there is reason to believe
that European intervention between
Turkey and Greece in the present po-
sition of affairs is regarded as wholly
impracticable, both Greece and Turkey
having resolved to continue the war.
The powers are thus obliged to stand
aside until one of the combatants is
finally defeated.
