1t was Cutie a Fight.

London, April PA dispatch to the
Evening News from Larissa says the
fighting at Baltino lasted throughout
Saturday and late that afternoon the
Turks were reported to have capitu-
lated. Both sides lost less than 100.
The insurgents, according TO the Even
ing News dispatch, are without COM
,hissiariat and are not supported by
the Greek regulars. The idea of the in
s,urgent, it appears, is to cut the Turk
ish communication between Macedonia
and Epirus.
If it is true that the insurgents have
pursued the Turks to within a, short
distance of Gre ma they are in a fair
way TO accomplish this object.
The Aria correspondent of the Even
ing News telegraphs that the war prep
araticns of the Greeks there are being
finally perfected. Troops have been ad-
Vanced to the frontier and the military
depots have been moved back to posi-
lions of safety in the rear.

opinion in shipping circles is that some
dire calamity has befallen the Amer
lean ship Samaria, % days out from
Seattle for San Francisco, coal laden.
Several captains who started from
Seattle at the same time are firmly
convinced that the Samaria is at the
bottom Of the sea-
The master. Captain McRae. had on
board his wife and two children.
The other vessels which started in
company with the Samaria made the
trip in IL or u days.
1t is known that several days after
the Samaria sailed she was caught in
a severe gale, which Captain Ryder of
the Eiwell declares was the worst he
ever encountered.
The Samaria was an old vessel. built
in 1876. and it is said she was under
the disadvantage of having poor shift
ing boards.

London, April 12.-The Washington
correspondent of the Times says that
the appointment of John W. Foster
and Charles S. Hamlin to cooperate
in behalf of the American treasury de-
partment in the settlement of the fur
seal controversy seems to indicate the
immediate opening of the vexed Boring
sea question. 1t is possible that Mr..

SIR CHARLES Dixie.
Radical Leader Makes an Extended
Speech in the House

London. April 12.-On the motion to-
day of Mr. Balfour, the government
leader. that the house Of commons ad-
journ over easter. Sir Charles Dixie,
radical member of the forest of Dean
division of Worcestershire, expressed
regret that the government before ad-
iourning had not afforded fhe house an
opportunity of discussing its policy in
regard to Crete. The liberal party, Sir
Charles added, was strongly united in
This matter in spite of reports-to the
contrary.
Continuing, Sir Charles Dixie said he
believed the majority of the nation
supported the liberals in the eastern
question A blockade of the Pireaus,
he contended, though it might upset
the king and the kingdom of Greece,
could not restore order IN Crete. While
the governments policy of granting
autonomy TO Crete was honest, it was
not clear whether the other powers
were equally honest in this matter.
Both the Sultan of Turkey and the
king of Greece had stated that they
were negotiating in regard to the fu-
tflre of Crete when they were brought
10 the verge Of war by the action of
the powers. He concluded with COM
nenfing upon the imbecility and hNp-
lessness of the concert until Greece
forced their hand. The parliamentary
secretary for the foreign office, Mr..
Curzon, replied for the government.
Referring to the negotiations which
ara said to have taken place between
Greece and Turkey direct for the set
Element of the Cretan question, Mr.. Cur
ION said that If there had been negotia-
tons on the subject between the sultan
snd Greece. her majesty's government
knew nothing about them. Touching upon
the subject of the withdrawal of the
Greek troops from the island of Crete
Mr. Curzon asserted that this would
open the door leading to almost immedi-
are specific settlement of the question
Since the blockade. Mr. Curzon pointed
out many thousands of helpless and de-
fenseiess people have been protected by
the forces of the powers and their adj
znirais have done inestinable work in the
relief of the beleaguered and the saving
of life. In the face of the explicit warn
ings. however, the insurgents had per-
sisted in their endeaVors TO starve out the
Turkish gaTrisons at outlying posts and
obtain command of the outposts COM
lnanding the towns occupied by the forces
of the powers. They had also tried to
cut off the water supply and had even |
engaged in fighting with the European |
troops. Mr.. Curzon was glad to be able |
TO add that during the last few days the |
situation had become calmer. In the
meanwhile active discussions were pro- /
ceeding between the powers relative to |

NO TIME FOR TRIPLES.

We teach the children Danish,
Trigonometry and Spanish;
Fill their heads with old-time notions
And secrets of the oceans,
And the uniform inscriptions
From the land of the Egyptians;
Learn the date of every battle,
Know the habits of the cattle,
Know the date of every browning,
Read the poetry of Browning,
Make them show a preference
For each musty branch of science;
Tell the acreage of Sweden.
And the serpent's wiles in Eden;
And the other things we teach EN-
Make a mountain so immense
That We've not a moment left
To teach them common sense.

CHICAGO, March 8. - An hour
before the time of beginning work
this morning there had bbeen SER
ious break in the ranks of the Emplyong
Plasterers' association, and two hours
later the dissatisfaction had become so
pronounced that the men who were
supposed to have been locked out were
not only certain that their troubles
would soon be over but the officers of
their organization were confidently pre-
dieting the disruption of the bosses Or
ganzation.
The cause for the trouble was that sew
eral of the bosses had signed the agree
ment presented by the plasterers' and
and hod carriers.
Tonight after a joint conference be-
tween officers of the Plasterers' union
and the Hod Carriers and Building and
Laborers' union, it was agreed that
tllere were not more than 600 men alto
Sether who were affected by the order
of the Employers associations which
reduced wages, and 1t is expected by
tomorrow night the reports would be
even more favorable.
1t was admitted. however, that If

cate with the union held out, consid-
cradle number of men might be involved
