A TERRIFIC BATTLE.
The Greek Army Driven Be TX by
Force of Numbers.
I.arisSa ia the Hands OF the TurIss-
King George VIII Go TO the
Front Powers Preparing
40 Intervene.

Athens, April 25.-The Greek army
has fallen back to a second line Of de-
Tense. A dispatch was received from
Prince Constantine Saturday TO the eff
feet that the Greek army, after ter
rife battle at Matt, was driven back by
force of numbers and had retreated to
Pharsalos. Col Mastrapas' brigade,
which had been repulsing repeated at
tacks Of the Turks at Matt with great
heroism, was not able to keep its posi-
ton aud withdrew toward Tyrnavos. In
a war council presided over BY Prince
Constantine it was decided to leave
Trrnavos and Larissa and withdraw to-
ward pharsalos, about 20 miles south
Of Larissa, where a decisive battle will
probably take plac The Greek army
withdrew in perfect order. although
pursued by overwhelming numbers Of
Turkish infantry and cavalry. The
brjgades under Coils. Smolentz and Dim
opoulos withdrew from the passes Of
Reveni and Boughazi in good order.
The wounded remain at Larissa under
the protection of the Red Cross flag.
Half dozen or more attacks were
made by the Turks before they final
u succeeded in driving the Greeks back
to Kazaklar. From Kazaklar they re-
treated TO Larissa, which place they
evacuated without a struggle simply
because the Turkish troops were rap
idly inclosing them in trap. With the
south still open, the Greeks took adj
vantage and withdrew to Fharsalos,
where II is expected the next battle will
take place. Upon reaching Pharsalos
the troops began to intrench them
selves in anticipation of pursuit by the
Turks Strange to say, the enemy has
remained in the vicinity Of Larissa and
has vet made no movement southwark.
Outlook Gloomy.
Athens, April 26.-It is useless TO
deny that very gloomy outlook of the
war prospect is taken here by the bet
ter informed. There are, however, no
signs of panic. The city exhibits an
attitude of dignified endurance, while
many persons still show an undated
enthusiasm for fight. Although it is
said that the Greeks carried off all their
guns from Tyrnavo and Larissa, and
also destroyed the provisions at both
places, they could not transport the

The yoorhees Corporation Bill Passes
 Both Houses and Becomes a Lnw.
 Trenton. March Ex-Governor Griggs has signed the Voorhees, amendment to the corporation law introduced in the senate Monday night and passed by both houses yesterday afternoon. The bill is intended to protect the revenues of the state derived from corporation taxes and franshise fees. which in 1875 amounted to but S75,0O0, bu' last year were over s957, ,0OO. A large Dart of this revenue comes from corporations or ganlzed under New Jersey laws. but doing business in New York, such as Park & Tnford, Tiffany & Co., the American Sugar Refining company. American Tobacco company, the Ar mour Packing company and other large concerns.
 Bill No. 1885 in the New York assem- bly Is said here to be aimed at these New Jersey corporations and seeks to make every New Jersey stockholder liable for infringement of the New York requirements. Its object Is to en- able New York creditors to come into New Jersey courts and sue New Jersey stockholders upon a contract liability arising out of the New York law.
 To protect fits corporations the New Jersey legislature hurried the Vcor- hees bill through. It makes it the New Jersey law, so far as the state is con- cerned. that corporations so long ss they obey the laws Of this state. shall be held harmless here by reason of any failure to obey the New York require ments. and provides that no action at law shall be maintained against any officer or stockholder of a New Jersey corporation for any statutory liability arising out of the laws of New York or any other stats,

Tariff and Treaty In the Senate.

Washington, March 31.-Senator Allen (PopO of Nebraska made a long speech in the senate on the unconstitutionality Of tariff taxes beyond those requisite for revenue. Although 1t was the first tariff speech the senate has heard this session, 1t did not attract marked attention. Mir. Allen severely criticised the trusts and combinations, which, he declared, reaped the main advantage of tariff taxes. Mir. Morgan of Alabama intro- duced a resolution requesting the presi- dent for copies of the letters said to have been written by General Gomez, the Cuban commander. to MT. Cleve- land and Mir. Mckinley.
 The senate spent most of the time in executive session in further consldera- tion of the arbitration treaty. Senator Hear introduced an amendment to the treaty which Is intended to meet the ob- jections which have been urged in the recent debate against the agreement The new amendment is similar to the amendment originally suggested by the committee on foreign relations to the first article exempting all questions of foreign and domestic policy from the operations of the treaty. The Hoar amendment also includes territorial questions in this exemption, leaving il practically such a document as was originally suggested by Lord Salisbury.
 Senator Hoar explained his proposed modification of the treaty at length and was put through long course of ques- tioning by other senators as to the scope and probable effect of the amendment.
 MT. Foraker of Ohio introduced a pooling bill which Is largely a repeti i- ton of the Patterson bill introduced in the last congress. It Is intended to meet the objections to pooling which were raised by the supreme court of the United States in its decision recent ly rendered in the Transmissippi Freight association case and permits pooling agreements under the super vision of the interstate commerce com mic Sofn

The Steamship fanarfya Lands Sixteen of
 the Crew at Grenock, Scotland.
 LONDON, March aa.-The British steam ship Yanariva, Captain Weston, which left Newport News on March 10, bound for Glasgow. has arrived at Grennock. The captain reports that on March l2, in lati- tude 3l, longitude 71, he picked mp small boat containing l6 survivors of the steam ship Vile de St. Nazaire of the West In- dian line of the Compagnie General Trans atlantique, wa1oh foundered in the great storm on the Atlantic coast of March 2 and of the Virginia canes
 They had been without food and water for four days and were in a state of ex- treme exhaustion, a state bordering on madness The officers and crew of the Ya- nariva did all In their power for the un- happy victims of the ocean horror and finally learned their pitiful story piece by piece.
 They say that four boats were launched, two containing 2g each, the third IF and the fourth 6. The boat picked up by the Yanariva was one of tho two that took of 20, but B of these succumbed to exposure, hunger and thirst The last the survivors saw of the other boats was on the day the vessel foundered, when they deserted two of them lashed together and empty.
 For some time after the rescue the cap- tas of the Yanar va kept an officer at the masthead sweeping the horizon with a glass in the hope of getting some trace of the other boats. but there was no sign of them. AS night was falling rapidly and tl sea and wind were increasing, with mist and rain, the Yanariva proceeded. The second officer of the Vile de St. Ma zaire Is among the rescued, who will be taken in charge by the French consul at Glasgow

 The retirement of General Ruger will result in promotions in every grade of the line from major general down to second lieutenant.
