section of the country and proceeds:

into hopeless panic and cause the loss
of all the positions gained since the
opening of the compaign.
Six thousand Turks scaled the noun
tain in the face of firing which was rapid
and continuous. They lost heavily in
spite of the fact that two Greek guns
were inexplicably removed from action
shortly after the firing began. The Ev-
zones fought bravely, but were COM
PEELED to retire
The rest of the Greek positions have
been abandoned. There has been appar-

army is crumbling without firing a shot.

TARIFF BILL, AS AMENDED.
Will Not be Given to the Senate FL
nance Committee.

WASHINGTON, May 2.-The tariff
bill as amended will not be given to the
Finance Committee. No meeting of
the committee as originally intended,
will be held. The reason given for this
is the absence of Senator Plat of Con-
necticut, a member of the Sub-Com-
mittee on Tariff. Some questions have
arisen in the past few days concerning
which it is considered necessary to con-
suit the Connecticut Senator and he
has found it impossible to reach the
city until tomorrow afternoon, too late
for the meeting.
The Republican members in the
meantime continue their efforts to have
the Democrats fix a time for reporting
the bill. The latter, however. persist
in declaring that they will enter upon
no agreement on this point until they
shall see the bin and have an opportu-
nifty to examine it.
The Republican subcommittee spent
the entire day working on the bill.
