Chicago, March 27-In an interview
Mr.. P, d. Armour was asked what his
views We're regarding the point raised
against the restitution of the tariff on
imported cattle, especially Mexican
cattle, and his opinion as to the prob
ability of Mexican canning factories
being able to compete with the canning
establishments of the United States
Mr.. Armour declared the idea to be
preposterous, as Mexican cattle are in
ferior in quality to American cattle.
Such experiments as have already been
made in packing meats in Mexico have
been dismal failures. Whatever COM
petition we are to have will not be
with South America or Mexico, but
with Australia.

DEAR SIR:-Please allow me space in
your columns to add IA few words to the ar
ticles which appeared in Yesterdays issue
of your paper entitled, '.Epworthians
Pleased" This article would lead persons
not knowing the circumstances to believe
that the relation between pastor and con.
gregation, in the past, had been been un.
pleasant, and it is this impression which
desire to eradicate.
The work of Rev, Mr.. Layfield has been
very acceptable and 1t was almost tho
unanimous desire of his congregation that
he be returned to this charge. Since the
Presiding Elder deemed it proper to make
change, the members of the church have
acquiesced and will tender Rev. f b.
Short hearty welcome and give him
their earnest, undivided support.
Since a change seemed necessary, they
are indeed pleased that this genial min
lister of God g word should be selected as
the successor of the one who has served
them so faithfully during the past three
years. and who though removed so unex-
pectedly will carry with him the best
wishes of those who well appreciate his
worth As an itinerant servant of God,
we trust Rev. Laytield may AWAY leave
behind such host of friends as he Is now
leaving at Epworth. Very respectfully,
Mrs w, w, NEAL lOil POPLAR St.

THE ETURKS ENCOURAGED
By the Action of the Powers in
Blockading Crete.
PILLAGING IN ALL DIRECTIONS.

The Attacks OF Christians on the Turks In
ducsd by Desperation Over the BLOCKADE
Austria Now Proposes That the Block
ade be Extended Along the Greek Coast.
+ London, March 27-A dispatch to The
Times from Athens says that the royal
decree appointing the Crown Prince
Constantin to the command of the
army on the Thessaly frontier was
published yesterday. When the crown
prince started to assume his command
he went by sea to Volo and thence
by railway. The crown princess ac-
companies him as far as Larissa,
where she will inspect the arrange
ments made by the Red Cross society.
She will remain there two days, and
then return to Athens. In order to
avoid popular demonstrations this pro-
gram was not published at Athens.
A dispatch from Canea says there
is no doubt that the Christians have
attacked the Turks because driven to
desperation by the blockade. A similar
protest against European rartiality for
the Turks is probable along the whole
insurgent line. Throughout the island
the Mohammedans think they may do
what they like now, because they have
European backing. In all directions
they are pillaging and burning the
property of Christians.
The Times correspondent at Salonica
telegraphs that a Turkish merchant
man has arrived there with torpedoes.
which are being laid across the harbor.

for the powers to suppose that Greece,
in order to form a neutral zone, will
withdraw 10000 eager troops to a re,
gion without barracks, stores or mill
tary base of any kind and there rest
calmly while the powers work out their
pleasure in Crete.
A dispatch to The Daily News from
Vienna says the Austrian foreign office
has proposed to extend the blockade
along the entire Greek coast, with
special stringency at the Piraeus and
the Cuffs of Volo, Cornith and Arta
England, having abandoned the con-
diton that Turkey and Greece must
be asked to withdraw their troops from
the Thessalian frontier before the
blockade is extended to the Gulf of

the Austrian foreign office, if the ad-
mirals so arrange the blockade as to
spare the susceptibilities of certain
powers.

FINANCE AND TRADE.

New York, March 2-R. @. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review of trade says:
Very rarely have the markets sustained
such surprises as they have received
of late with so little loss. Foreign
conditions and London alarms, the coll
lapse of the iron ore comb;pation, the
destructive floods In the Mississippi
valley and the decision of the supreme
court against railway associations have
e been used to the utmost, but not even
in railroad stocks has the result been
important. Were all associations Of

and the very fact that prices of pro-
ducts are low is regarded as guar
antee against much further decline.
In all industries, also, the number Of
mills and shops and hands at work
gradually increases. ..
The grain markets have lost without
reason the gain they made without

lieves that there is coming a famine

southern wheat will begin.
Bradstreets' review says: While the
week is not without favorable features,
unfavorable influences have been more
numerous. Leading money markets
show no improvement. Mercantile coll
lections continue slow as heretofore,
and the volume of funds offered is
in excess of demands for discounts.
