What may be the result of the present
storm OF obloquy il is difficult TO foresee.
The correspondent in giving further de-
tails Of his interview with NJ. Ralli as to
the circumstances under which the Greeks
abandoned Tyrnavo and Larissa, says:
According to NJ. Ralli. the Greeks main
tained their positions throughout Friday
until the evening and the rout was caused
by the unexpected fire of the Turkish
artillery posted on the heights little TO
the west of Dereli, which commanded the
Greek right. The Turkish cavalry had made
a feint by advancing in this direction. II
withdrew, however. toward the north, and
the Greek cavalry was sent in pursuit, the
staff officers being under the impression
that the heights had been occupied by
irreguars of the Ethnike Hetairia, whose
forces, however, as they have always taken
up an independent line, We're elsewhere.
The result was that the Greek cavalry. on
approaching the Turkish cavalry, found
itself exposed to q murderous fire. This
the beginning of the rout, which, as
the darkness came on, became general. The
Foreign Legion. during the retreat came
into contact with squadron of Greek
cavalry, and, believeing il TO be Turkish
fired upon il, thus increasing the confusion
and spreading the panic. Nj. Ralli believes
the abandonment Of Tyrnavo and Larissa
to have been not only unnecessary, but
most ill advised, as il endangered the safety
of General Smolenski's column, which, how
ever, fortunately succeeded in making its
way to Phersala. One Greek battalion
entering Tyrnavo after the Turkish occu-
patton was compelled TO surrender. The
army, a whole, retreated in small de-
tachments to Phersala.'

LONGSTREET'S MESSAGE.
Tribute from the south to the Dead
Northern Commander.

Copyright. 1897, by the Associated PressD
NEW YORK, April 26.-Of the famous
men who travelled from Washington to this
city to-day on the vice-presidential train
perhaps none was more spoken of than
General Longstreet. His venerable face and
tall figure, now somewhat bent with age
brought back TO mind the days when i'm
the prime of his life, he led the Southern
forces in many a fierce assault. Since
those times he has been United States min
lister to Turkey and now holds first rank i'm
the short list of the Confederate generals
still alive. General Longstreet especially
requested the Associated Press to publish
a statement, all written by his own some
what feeble hand. He said to the corre-
spondent that it was fitting on such an oc-
casion that he should speak, for he was
with Grant at West Point, served in the
same regiment with him before the war and
even introduced him TO the woman who
became his wife. The statement as Gem
eral Longstreet wrote it. is as follows:
1T was my good fortune to know as few
others could that Grants heart went out in
sympathy for the brave men and women
OF the South during the distressing times
of reconstruction, and TO my old comrades
who followed the stars and bars OF the
South to the gloom and glory of Appomat-
tox. 1 want to say General Grants heart

the sections OF the land. IL every old Con-
federate soldier or widow of a Confederate

QUIET IN THE CAMPS.
Judge Holds the Camps Lawful But Not So the
Marching.

Pittsburg. Aug. 23.-Everything is
quiet at the miners camps today, but
another attempt will be made to march
in th4 morning. Anthony Todas, the
striking miner who was shot yesterday.
at his boarding house, near Oak Hill,
was reported to be slightly improved, al
though his condition is still critical. The
others who were hurt in the fight are
not dangerous, and will recover. Tho
B4latin brothers, who did the shooting,
were arrested shortly after the affair
and brought to Pittsburg today.
None of the negroes implicated in the
shooting at Unity, yesterday, have been
arrested.
Th4 campers are arranging for another
big turnout of the farmers next Tues
day night.
At Greensburg, this afternoon, Judge
Mcconnell continued the restraining or
der against tbs River and Hermity strik-
ers, issued a few days ago. 1t was de-
veloped at the hearing that the Aroma
and Madison miners were nearly all in
favor of working and no further trouble
is anticipated.
The hearing in the injunction proceed
ings against the strikers encamped at
McGovern was begun before Judge Sui
Ivan, of Washington, today. The pres
ent action was to add the names of Hem
ry Schmidt, P. L. Delwas, Tom Dawson,
p. t. Homer Tom JONES, Pat Doyle, Will
liam Browning, Joe Joby, Will Cunning
ham and Joseph Arnold to the original
injunction, which prevents the miners
from marching along the road in front
of Cook & Sons mine. The court has
not yet filed a decree but says the ac-
tion is sustained as to all except Ar
mold, on whose land the strikers are en-
camping, and the operators are trying to
induce the court to hold him responsible
for the action of the strikers. The court
said the camp itself was perfectly law
full but the marching was unlawful.

of the case. He said on former occasions
the miners went to the operators. WHEN,
with crocodile tears the conditions were
dspIored by the operators. Now. he said,
the conditions were different-.he opera
tors had come to the miners. He ex-
pressed himself in favor of arbitration at
a living rate of wages.
This brought Col w. r. Rend to his
feet. He said there could be no arbitra-
tion on the lines as laid down by Ratch-
ford. He referred to the meeting at ST.
Louis when Ratchford estimated that
universal strike and demand for an eight
question would be the result of the st.
Louis convention. Col. Rend replied by
calling Ratchford villain, traitor, black
guard, anarchist.
When, with emphasis. he told him that
seven anarchists had been hanged in
Chicago and all We're better than he, that
If he precipitated an insurrection in this
country he would be hanged and that
when he was hung. he (Rend) wanted TO
pull the rope. Col. Rend left the confer
ence in rage.
President Dolan made an apology for
some of the statements he made. He
stated his position, which was almost
similar to that of Ratchford.
The operators then decided that a COM
mittee be appointed to confer with the
miners officials and If possible come TO
an agreement
A short conference was held by the
committee and it was mutually agreed to
mest alt o'clock in the evening. The
conference was held and it lasted for sew
eral hours.
The propositions were made as above
stated which were discussed without any
agreement being reached, and the con-
ference adjourned until 10 o'clock tomor-
row.
President Ratehford gave out state
ment replying to Col. Rend and severely
criticising that gentleman.

The miners were en- route to Oak Hill,

fused to move his train, but went into
Wellston when informed that the MIN

This is the second time that che strikers
have taken the men out of Oak Hill,' and
they informed them that if they were

RATCHFORD'S STATEMENT.
The Men Must Have Living Wages-ls Favorable
to Arbitration.

Pittsburg, Aug. 23.-This evening Ma
lowing statement:
eve met and heard the purpose of the
conference expressed. In coming here I
was ignorant of it's object excepting as it
said that 1t was to be an Interstate con-
ference and that was my impression.
When I heard Colonel Rend talk on the
matter I learned that the object was to
submit matters to arbitration. Being fa-
vorable to arbitration and also an inter-
state conference myself. I decided that
both objects were worthy and in the af-
ternoon we discussed both of them. There
the operators to an Interstate conference
for certain reasons. The feeling among
them Is In favor of arbitration. To this
we have no objection. We favor arbitra-
ton, but insist that this question st ar
bitrated must be arbitrated on the basis
of living wages. Further than this we
will not CO. The operators on the other
hand believe that work should be re-
sumed at the old prices pending arbitra-
tion at a retroactive rate. We struck
against the old prices because it did not
afford our miners a living wage and we
VIII not resume at any price less than
the price demanded. which is the lowest
possible rate that men can labor for.'
