In the repeal of the Sherman law,
very prominent part 1t was his last
important work in the senate, and the
accomplishment of the repeal was due
largely to the effective support he rem
dered to the Cleveland administration,
which had made the repeal one of its
chief purposes. The finance commit
tee at this time was almost evenly
divided on the financial question, and
the balance of power in the committee
lay practically with Mr.. Voorhees,.
Mr.. Voorhees, death was caused by
an attack of angina pectoris. The
senator's health was so poor during
the recent political campaign that he
could not participate in it, but after
his return to Washington, IL Novem-
Der, he seemed to improve in health.
Two weeks ago the old rheumatic
trouble returned and three days ago
they became even more alarming.
Mr.. Voorhees, was IS years of age
last Septembe and prior to his re-
tirement from public life on March
last had been for many years one Of
the most picturesque figures in
the senate. He was born in
Liberty township, Butler county, O.,
and in his early infancy was
carried by his parents to their
pioneer home in the Wabash valley,
Indiana. In 1S49 he graduated from
the Indiana Asbury (now Depauw)
university, and. studying law, began
it's practice in 1851. His first public
office was entered upon in 1858, since
which time he had been almost con-
tinuously in Office.

of ex-senator Voorhees, will be escort
ed from this city to his native state of

remains will be removed to the Penn
sylvania railroad station, and accom-
panied by the family and Senator Will

pallbearers selected are: Senators Nor
rill, Turpie, j. K. Jones, Wilson, Gull
lom, ex-senator Butler, Judge Law.
renee Weldon and Hon. Richard J.
Bright.
The original intention was to take
the body direct to Terre Haute and
have funeral services there Wednesday
or Thursday, contingent on the arrival
of the ex-senator's eldest son from
Spokane, Wash, but these plans were
changed Sunday night by the follow
ing telegram from Gov. Mounts pri-
vate secretary:
Gov. Mount tenders his sincere
sympathy in the affection you are
called upon to endure in consequence
of the death of your distinguished
father, and begs. to be informed if it
will be agreeable to the family to have
the remains lie in state at the Indiana
capitol en- route to Terre Haute."

avenue, Northeast.
The senator had been in poor health
for several years and for at least two
years past had taken little part in the
proceedings in the senate. He had
been a constant sufferer from rheuma-
tiSm of the heart and his friends there
fore had come to expect that they
might hear of his death suddenly.

that he was showing some signs OF I'M

while not entirely unexpected, came
with the suddenness of a shock

HEAVY BATTLE
Between Greeks and Turks Near Grevna-
The Situation is Most Serious
in.

The Situation is Most Serious.
ELAssoNA, Macedonia, April 10
Bands of Greek brigands have entered
Turkey at Krania, in the vicinity {:
Grobina. The Turkish troops have
been engaged with them and the fight
has been proceeding since ) o'clock
Friday morning,
At the Turkish headquarters this
news is looked upon as being Of the
gravest description, in view of the eX
element here.
Edhem Pasha has sent orders to have
everything in readiness for an advance
of the Turkish army in force. 1t IS
not known yet whether Greek troops
were among the bands that have en-
tered Turkish territory.
ELAsSoNA, Macedonia, April 10.-A
dispatch received at the Turkish head
quarters here from Grevna says that
the fighting between the Greeks and
Turks continues. The Turks, follow
ing out the instructions of Edhem
Pasha, have surrounded the Greek
irregulars. and a greater part OF the
Turkish division stationed at Grevna,
under Haski PaSha, is now advancing.
1t is impossible to distinguish wheth-
er the invaders are supported by any
substantial portion of the Greek regu-
lar army, as the Greeks have taken up
a position in the middle of a forest;
but the correspondent of the Asso-
ciated Press is informed that the mo-
ment the Turkish officers ascertain
the presence of the uniforms of the
Greek regulars in the ranks of the
aggreSsors, Edhem Pasha will order
the advance Of the entire Turkish army.
The situation is most serious. In
the meanwhile, Edhem Pasha remains
at the general headquarters awaiting
news. He has already notified his
generals of division to hold them
selves in readiness for instant action
and the reserves have already left the
encampment here in order to move
closer to the first line of defense.
CoNSTANTINOPLE, April 10.-The war
preparations throughout the Turkish
empire continue to be steadily pressed,
although there is not much change in
the eastern situation. A very pes
simistic feeling prevails here at the
failure of the powers attempt to CO.
cree Greece. The blockade of the
Piraeus seems as far off as
ever, and the war party is bring
ing pressure to bear upon the
government with the result that the
porte has dispatched circulars to the
Representatives abroad, setting forth
Turkeys growing impotence at the
prolongation of the crisis, which is
pressing heavily on an alread embar-
raised exchequer.
The belief prevails here that the
powers are losing their hold over the
course OF events and that their so.
called concert is a failure.
The correspondent of the Associated
Press was enabled Friday morning to
make a close investigation Of the
| Turkish line of defence. 1t revealed
that every thing is in excellent shape
of preparation. The transport service
| is excellent. Four thousand pack.
horses are employed. and enormous
masses of war stores, pontoons, can.
non, tents, medicines, ammunition
and, in fact, everything needed for a
large army has been gathered here
