The Greeks are SO dead in nest, it is

Thessaly, says an engagement has
taken place near Eezeros, IN which ar
tillery participated.
The news that Turks have crossed the
frontier and fighting has occurred, has
caused great excitement here. En-
thusiaslic crowds throng the streets,
awaiting further news from the
frontier.
LONDON, England, April lids
patches from Athens, to-day, confirm
the report that an engagement has
taken place near Nezeros, in Thessaly,
between the Turks and Greeks. At
Athens, peaceful conclusion of the
difficulty is regarded as almost hope
less. Itis perfectly certain that the
irregulArs will again invade Macedonia
in order to compel the porte to de-
clargwar.
LONDON, England, April 17.-Des-

Rather Lively Proceedings Were
Had in the Lower House at
Washington, To-Day.
FAvoRS GOLD DEMOCRATS
The Cuban Insurgents Will Like
Iy Soon Be Recognized and
the Greeks Mean War.
w. G. HUNTER IS INDICTED

WASHINGTON, d. c., April IT,
President Mckinley sent to the house
to-day special message urging
congress to take early action to accept,
in a proper manner, the invitation from
the French government to our govern
ment to be represented ut the Paris ex-
position In 1900.
Congressman Bailey, Of Texas, then
rose to question Of personal privilege.
He resd an editorial charging him with
trying to aid Speaker Reed. He bitter
ly denounced the author as liar and
SAID that all men engaged in circulating
stories about him, were Infamous liars.
Mr. Bailey contended that the repub-
lican party were riding to their death
on tariff and gold standard. He said
if the Cuban resolution, to come from
the senate, declared that the insurgents
should have their liberty, he would
urge, intensely, immediate action by
the house.
Mr.. Dngley then moved to adjourn
until Wednesday. Mr.. Bland tried to
offer resolution in reference to the
Pacific roads. Jerry Simpson, of Kan
sas, got the floor and said the motion
to adjourn to certain day was debata-
BILE. "The chair thinks not,'' drawled
the speaker, dryly. the house being
much amused. Speaker Reed ruled once
more against Simpson, who appealed
from the decision and motion to table,
was carried overwhelmingly.
Mr.. Dearmond. of Missouri, replied
to Mr.. Bailey. Dearmond contended
that the people who elected democrats
to congress, never intended they should
cooperate in any manner with the
republicans. Finally, Dingley got IN
his motion to adjourn and talk was
shut off until Wednesday.
