PATRIOTS GOING HOME.
Greeks in New York Roused by the
News from Larissa.

NEW YORK, April 10, 1s97-The Greek
restaurants and meeting places in this
city were crowded today with excited lit
tie groups of patriots. Daily labor SEEM
ed to be forgotten in listening to de-
sratches from the seat of war "Eiste

frequent intervals during the reading of
Grecian triumphs. Not single Greek
seemed to have the least doubt that the
Turkish forces would be speedily routed
by land and sea.
The enthusiasm among the Greeks here
has been brought to a head by definite
commencement of hostilities and active
preparations are on foot to send rein
forcements from the United States to aid
the cause of Greece. 1t is expected that
a large contingent of patriots will leave
this week for Athens.

JAIL FOR CHAPMAN.

WASHINGTON, April 1s, 1se7.-The su-
preme Court today referred the applica-
ton for a writ of certiorari and habeas
corpus asked by Elverton r. Chapman,
the broker, who refused to testify in the
sugar speculation investigation whether
Senators had speculated in sugar stocks
while the Wilson tariff bill was before
that body.
Chief Justice Fuller, who delivered the
opinion, held that the Senate, under its
constitutional right to censure and expel
members had the right to investigate any
alleged improper conduct of Senators and
could compel witnesses to give testimo-
of the District of Columbia to thirty
days in jail and s100 fine was affirmed,

compact With the Republicans.
Everybody is speculating, of course. and
no one is objecting to speculation for the
reason that it costs nothing. The only
man who is being annoyed by gossips is
Mayor Wanser's secretary, John Neyin.
Up to noon today it had been reported
that he is a candidate for secretary to
Mayor Hoos. Auditor, City Comptroller,
Tax Commissioner and Police Justice.
Mr.. Nevin quietly remarks that he is at
tending to the city's interests. not his
own, just at this time.
Mayor Hoos has to run a gauntlet of
office seekers every day, while Robert
Davis, the party leader has the choicest
kind of body guard from his house to his
place of business, to the theatre or any
old place his fancy takes him.
The fact that the Republicans have
made a contract for temporary supply
of water until 1900 has deprived the Demo-
Gratis of many appointments. The Street

Last nights games in the Jersey City
League reduced the positions Of the Van
Bergen and Clinton teams in the record
and the tie for second place has been
smashed, leaving the Doolittles holders
of the place of vantage. Last evening
the Dooless Club received a visit from
the Van Bergens and two league games
were rolled on the Woods Han alleys in
the presence of a very large crowd. The
Van Bergens being a tie with the Doc
little Club, made the second team all the
most anxious to win, as it would aid them
in winning the second team prize. The
result of the first game was not very en-
couraging to the chances of the Dooless
Club, as they were badly beaten, the
Vans finding them an easy mark. It was
different in the second game. and the
contest was very exciting. The teams
rolled an even gane but in the final
frames the Van Bersens were less effec-
tive n Smiths poor score enabled the
home team to win and break even. which
has pulled the Van Bergens down to third
place. The scores were:-
