The Postal Congre IS.

Washington, May 14.-The ways
and means committe of the universal
postal congress today practically COM
pleted the preliminary consideration of
the amendments which have been pro-
posed to the international treaty. In
doing this they have followed the prac-
tice common in many legislative bodies
of passing over informally the various
amendments which it was known would
give rise to any extended discussion,
and have acted on such as the delegates
were generally agreed on. The more
important questions remaining undis-
posed of relate to the universal postage
stamp, the proposed establishment of
all branches in postal rates, and the
proposition for reduction in the pay
of mails in transit.

TO SECRETARY Bliss.


Washington, May 17.-Commissione
Hermann, OF the general land office,
has submitted to the secretary of in
terror, letter urging the suspension of
legal proceedings growing out of the
Cascade range reserve act. The letter
says:
1t has been represented to this de-
partment that great hardships and loss
has resulted to the sheepowners of Ore
gon because OF their exclusion from the
grazing lrnds within the boundaries OF
the Cas-, Q range forest reserve, ere
ated by the presidents proclamation of
September 2S, 1898; that the large
areas of grazing lands within said res
ervation have been used for years past
as general grazing ground, and the
sheepowners are dependent thereon for
the support OF their tlocks during GER
tain seasons of the year; that the suits
Instituted by the government against
certain parties to restrain them from
pasturing their sheep within the reserve
are rcprcssivc and unjust, and relief is
asked.
"a special agent of this Office reports
that Judge Bellinger, on the 10th ult.
in the United States circuit court for
the district of Oregon, overruled the
demurrer to the amended complaint in
the case of the United States VS.. Tygh
Valley Land & Livestock Company,
sustaining his former decision therein
(76 Fed. Rep, 693), against an implied
license to use such lands for pasturage
purposes, and recognizing the right OF
the government to sue to protect its
property from threatened injury. The
special agent states that the several
cases brought against various persons,
to which this ruling applies, will prob
ably be at issue and ready for trial some
time next month.

FIGHTING IN EPlRuS.
Greeks Suddenly Become Active in the
West-Reports Conflicting.

London, May 17.-Except for the
fighting in Epirus, the Turko-Hellenic
situation is unchanged.
1t is tolerably certain that only few
Greek troops remain in Domokos, the
bulk OF Constantine's army having
withdrawn to Lamia, where it will be
IN closer communication with General
Smolenski. This probably explains
the reported movements of the Turkish
army, as a number of Edhem Pasha's
troops have been marching from Trik-
hala to Volo. Without doubt the re-
spite of the feast of Bairam is very well
come to the fatigued men.
The fighting in Epirus has been un-
decisive. 1t is believed that Nicopolis
is not yet captured, but only the
heights commanding the town. The
Greeks made pretext of giving protec-
tion to the peasants, but they evidently
had information as to the reasons for
the apparent inactivity of the Turks in
Epirus. This is the seventh time the
Greeks have attempted TO advance TO
Janina and have met with repulse
which the Turks have never followed
up.
Evidently there is something wrong
with the Turkish forces at that point.
The recent report that number OF
officers were taken from Janina to Con-
stantinople in chains may perhaps ex-
plain it. Possibly Turkey is holding
her forces there through fear OF a move
ment from Bulgaria.

White Earth, Mimi, May IA
Heavy forest fires are raging in the
pine belt about 100 miles east of the
agency, and considerable damage is be-
ing done to the timber. A party Of
men was sent from here to save the
government saw mill twenty miles east
of here. They have returned, and re-
port that the country is all on fire, and
that the government saw, shingle and
planning mills were destroyed by fire,
despite all efforts to save the property.
The men narrowly escaped with
their lives. The fire cut them off from
their horses and they were compelled
to run about eight miles to lake to
save their lives. A number of lumber
camps were also burned, with outfits,
sleighs, etc. The Indians sugar camps
are burned. A heavy wind is prevail
ing, and if rainfall does not come
soon the whole country will be on fire.

Washington, May 14.-The necessary
action for settling the vexatious dis
pute over the eastern boundary line of
the Southern Ute Indian reservation in
Colorado was taken today when Samuel
S. Gannett, of Maine, topographer in
the geological survey, was designated
as special agent at $40 day to fix the
line permanently. His instructions are
to locate the intersection of the l07th
meridian with the new Mexican-Colo-
RADIO boundary line. The work will
begin Immediately and upon its early
completion the exact location will be
proclaimed. The Utes claim the line
is too far west. The surplus of una
lottted lands on that part of the reser-
walton lying east of range IA have been
held up from the opening to settlement
pending the location for some time.
Some 5000 acres of land valued at
$50, 900 are involved in the variance
between the present and claimed boun.
daries.

THE CASE OF CHAPMAN.
Allen Brought 1t Up in the Senate-An-
tagonized by Hoar.


Washington, May l4.-In the senate
today the sugar investigation of 1894
was recalled by the introduction of a
resolution by Allen reciting the circum-
stances of the investigation, the refusal
OF Elverton r. Chapman to testify, his
conviction in the courts as Il contuma-
cious witness, and the present efforts
toward his pardon. The resolution
proposes that Chapman be brought to
the bar of the senate to purge himself
of contumacy as prerequisite to par
don. Allen sought to secure immediate
action on the resolution, but it went
over on objection OF Gallinger and
Hoar. The latter criticised the resou-
tion as giving away authority OF the SEN
ate, and said he would propose an
amendment with u view to having
Chapman punished unless he purged
himself of contempt without reference
to the question of pardon. The con-
sideration of the resolution will be in
order tomorrow.
Morgan made statement relative to
his resolution on Cuba. He said the
committee on foreign relations had
considered the question of referring
the resolution to committee, and had
not agreed. The committee desired,
however, that the resolution go over
till noon tomorrow, in order to have a
statement laid before the senate at
that time. On Morgan's suggestion the
resolution went over.
A resolution by Butler, requesting the
president for information relative to
the sale of the Union Pacific railroad,
was presented and went over.
The setnate bills for public buildings
at Deadwood, S. D., to cost 5000, 900,
were passed.
The senate then took up the calendar
and passed bills as follows:
For the relief of certain citizens OF
Montana, claiming the benefits of the
homestead laws: granting to Montans
90, 900 acres of land in aid of an asy
lum for the blind; appropriating $174,
900 to Charles p. Chouteau for extrt
work on the ironclad Etlad.

Arta, May 17.-Desperate fighting
has been in progress all day near Fill
Iipiada. Two brigades of Greeks, with
many guns, two companies of sappeers
and squadron of cavalry, attacked the
Turks, who were almost without artil-
lery. The Greeks forced the first Turk
ish line of defense, but met with a
stubborn resistance at the second. In
several places the bayonets were so
close to the cannon that the former
could not be used. The battle still
continues as this dispatch is being sent.

The Situation Complicated.

London, May 1.-THE correspondent
of the Times at Athens says: The re-
sumption of offensive operations in
Epirus greatly cOmplicates the situa-
tion and tends to hamper the negotia-
tions for peace. The evident intention
of the Greek commanders is to capture
the Turkish positions there in order to
show that they have not been defeated.
In an interview today, M. Ralli, the
premier, repeated his statement that
humanitarian motives are responsible
for the advance in Epirus, but he did
not deny the advantages which might
be hoped for from the capture OF Pre-
versa and the occupation of the adjoin-
ing Turkish territory.
'We are still at war;" he said, "and
until an armistice is concluded Greece
retains her liberty of action. We can
not allow our activity to be confined to
Thessaly. where the Turks are predomi-
nant. The powers have hindered us
from acting in Crete, but Greece cannot
be barred everywhere nor compelled to
restrict her operations to limited area.
"We have done our best to obtain an
armistice, and until it is accorded us,
we must act where and when we can,
Ii we have not already prosecuted the
war at various points and among the
islands of the Egean, it is only because
we have taken into consideration the
sufferings to which the Greek popula-
tion might be subjected" p"
The government apparently thinks
that a renewal of the war will hasten.
instead of retard, the armistice. This
calculation may prove to be correct
but it is more likely that Turkey will
seize on it as an excuse for delaying
the armistice and will deal crushing
blow in Thessaly.
