OPEN WAR DECLARED.
0rceks and Turks Meet In Deod,,
Conflict,

The forces Of Greece and Turkey have
met in relentless and bloody conflict. The
boom of cannon and rattle of musketry
are heard along the entire frontier. Many
thousands of men engaged Saturday and
sunday ia the awful contest and fought
like demons. The iiercest battle occurred
at Milouna Pass. where both sides lost
heavily. Three Greek officers of high
rank are among the killed. but Turkish
battery was taken by the Greeks. Dipo-
matte relations between the two nations
are formally and completely severed. The
Greek gunboats bombarded and reduced
the forts Prevesa. and King Georges
troops held their own on land. Greek
subjects at Constantinople will probably
md safety at the American legation.
Neither Greece nor Turkey actually de.
clared war; but the Sultan officially an
nounced that war had broken out" thus
seeking to throw the blame for actual
commencement Of hos,ilities upon the
Greeks.

was at 6O9s cents. Chicago Board OF
Trade men. and the peGple for whom they
do business, went home and thought the
matter over. Sunday they had grcat
mind TO believe the price would rise. Fri
day had been holiday. Sunday was an
other season Of inactivity as far rs trad
ing was concerned. Then came the re.
ports of a battle between the Turks and
the Greeks. and the blood of the traders
began to boil--nOt with Indignation. but
with belief In n rising market. Monday
morning when the trading began there
was an instant advance of nearly 4 cents.
No general was the belief In the demand
for breadstuffs from abroad. so fully had
the morning papers seconded the reports
oil war IN the East. SO much more certain
did a general conflict prove that from the
moment Ut opening there was an advance
even over the remarkable bulge at the
start. Cent after cent was added to the
ruling price. The scene In the wheat nit

that simply electrified the gallcrics-and
there was crowd up there from the be.
ginning. as IL a preinOnition of great
things lad gone abroad. The advance
was fought bitterly as bears could fight It.
An advance of an eighth was the signal
for the most frantic uproar. And when
the opposing side succeeded In checking
the advance fraction Of cent, or in
sending down the pSce point. there was
an even wilder demonstration. There was
time when man could sell May wheat
at cents IN advance upon the closing
price Thursday. September wheat sold
down to ia cents. The lowest point
reached by July wheat was 13Jsc. At the
opening. and for half an hour before, there
was nothing but tnlk of war. 1t was fully

with Importers.

The famous hat trimmings ease. which
involved between $2O.UD.UOO and S25..
WOOVO. which has been postponed from
time to time for the last three years. was
finally decided In favor Of the Govern
ment by jury In the United States Court
at Philadelphia Tuesday afternoon. The
suit was brought rs n test case by Meyer
Il Dickinson. big importers of that city,
who sought TO recover from the United
states a difference Of 10 per cent In
customs duties. The firms contention
was that the impor,aiions IN question con.
sisted solely Of hat trimmings. on which
the duty under the Mckinley tariff act
was only ~ per cent. but the Federal
officials In their argument maintained that
the merchandise was used chiefly FOR
dresses md dress trimmings. and that tho
duty of 20 per cent levied by the Govern
ment was proper. Meyer 4 Dickinson
were nominally the plaintiffs. but there
were hundreds Of big importing firms
throughout the country who were inter.
estesl In the outcome Of the suit and who
were instrumental in procuring the best
obtainable counsel.
