The Turkish Troops in European Turkey to Be Increased-A Movement for a Holy War-Greesz Forces Routed at
 kaiaAEinah.
ESaInAFlnnh

LONDON, May 11.-A dispatch from Vienna says that it is reported there that Turkeys terms of peace with Greece include the payment of an in- demnity of s15, GOO, ,00O, rearrange- ment of the Greek frontier, the annual ling of the treaties favoring the Greeks, the cession of the Greek fleet to Tup- key and the settlement of the Cretan question.
 A semi-oflicial communiq ue pub ished in Paris declares that the powers have already agreed among themselves upon the conditions of peace, and that Germany's hesitation was due to the fact that the Greek gov ernment, in circular to representa- tives at courts of powers, did not form ally adhere to Cretan autonomy as demanded by the powers, but that this was later done by Greece.
 The Turkish military commission at conference with the sultan have de- cided to increase the Turkish force in European Turkey to 432, 900 men and it is current report that this is the first move in a holy war. Edhom Pasha has been ordered to hasten his ad- vance into Greece. The Turkish com mander at Janina telegranhs that the Creek forces at Kamarinah have been routed by three battalions of Turkish troops, who occupied Kamari- nah. Later the Creeks gathered ill a church on the heights above the vil- lage, when they fired on the Turks, who eventually took the church by as- situiu, killing many Greeks .;s: :. capturing some prisoners. The re- mainder of the Greeks retired to the bridge of Agros Geofgis, where they made determined stand, but were finally routed by the Turks.

ANrI-pooKAeE LAW VOID.

 Judge Alden Holds That the Kansas Legis-
 Iative Act Interferes with Private Con-
 tracts.
 KANSAS CGTY, Kan, May 11.-Judgc Alden, Of the district court of this county. rendered decision to-day in which he held that the new Kansas anti-dockage law was invalid and un- constitutional The question of the eonstitutionality of the law was raised in the case of Abram E. Beggs, chief hog buyer for the Armour Packing Co.,, who was arrested on the charge of vio- lating the new anti-dockage law by purchasing hogs of c. W. Marley, of Oswego, Kan, subject to the doclage rule in force in Chicago and St Louis.
 Judge Alden's decision holding the law unconstitutional was based on the declaration that it interfered with the right of private contracts. He said in substance that the act called the Kansas anti-dockage law was not in any sense a police regulation. It was not designed to prohibits the sale of barred sows or stags but it's intent was to prevent the owners of hogs from making contracts for the disposi- ton of their own property, in which the public had no interest.

Howell, for years the leading spirit of the Constitution, but recently crowded out of that pa per, is about to establish free silver organ here with S1, 900, 900 capital. It has been learned that the actual pur chaser of the Howell stock was 8 wealthy Providence capitalist, who is on terms of close intimacy with Hoke Smith, and that MT. Smith was really in the deal. The Constitution having passed into the hands of gold standard owners, the inference has generally been drawn that it will eventually abandon the free silver cause, of which it has been the acknowledged leader in the south.
