Disposition of Greek roree..

London. May 4.-The difficulty of
saying what has actually occurred at
the seat of war continues. hut the pre-
sumption from the known facts OF the
military situation is that Edhem Pa
sha is feeling the Greek position at
Pharsala preparatory to delivering a
general attack.
Edhem Pasha's repeated assaults on
the wings of the Greek formation have
probably the object of compelling
Prince Constantine to send them rein
forcemetns. and thus weaken his cen
ter at Pharsala. We may soon. there
fore. expect to hear that Edhem Pasha
has struck hard at his weak point,

of the Turks.
Pharsala has been abandoned and
telegraph communication with thar
place has been cut.
The forces under Prince Constantine
reached Domokos unmolestod and have
not been attacked to-day. 1t appears
that the grent massing of Turkish
troops and their movements led to n
suspicion that an attempt was being
projected to surround Pharsnla. A
council of war was held in the Greek
camps and 1t was decl1ed to retire to
Domokos, which was reached this
morning at dawn.
The Greeks promptly occupied strong
positions on the mountain range over

Indians Not Good Soldiers.

Washington May S.-After six years
of experiment. the attempt TO make
soldiers out of the Indians will be
abandoned. and the last company will
be mustered out at Fort Sill or the
31st of May. The trouble has been
that the Indians will not endure dis
cipline and cannot be taught regular
habits. They refuse to get up at the
reveille call in the morning. and VIII
not go to bed when taps are sounded
at night. They neglect guard duty,
and will not perform the many littlc
services that are expected of enlisted
men In the regular army. When pun
ished for peccadillos they invariably
rebel, and their friends support them
in mutiny and insubor;ipntion. In
short. the untutored Iniud o. the red
man cannot comprehend the usefulness
of army regulations, and while he is
all right as scout on go-as-yun-
please commission, he IS useless when
tied down to the dull routine of Il gar
rison, or a camp. The failure Of this
experiment is Il great disappointment
to many humanitar'ans. who hoped
that career might be found for 1Ee
Indians in the military service of the
United States.

Washington, May S-Members of
Congress, officials Of the treasury, and

that 1t is not n sectional bill, like that
which passed The House. 1t ID not a
New England Bill. The favors of pro-
lection are more evenly distributed,
and many of the little items that caus-
ed so much criticism in the House bill
have been stricken out. The average
duties imposed by the Senate bill are
much lower than those in. the, House
bill. They are. lower than the McKin-
ley bill of 1890, and are very little in

the schedules. While the calculations

hides and some other articles are not
considered. There are 1912 amend
ments. There are only three of the
216 pages which have not been
amended.
Senator McEnery. Of Louisian, says
that the sugar schedule is exactly con
trary to what he hoped for and ex-
pected it would be. and is very much
better for the trusts than for the pro-
ducers of sugar.
Senator Allison says the Senate bill
will yield about s4O.OOO.OOO more rev
enue than the House bill. He figures
S13.OO0OOO additional from beer and
S1O.OOO.OOO additional from tea. He
says a substitute for the reciprocity
section will be reported to the Senate
in n few days, and that it will be d fea-
ture in which reciprocity will be recip-
rocal.

vigorous fight against the duties on
