A GREEK VICTORY
Wipes Out the Reverse at Mil
Ouna.

Athens, April l9 Late advices
show that the situation on the front
ier is unchanged to day The Turks
and the Greeks alike are resting from
their great ezertions of three days
Edham Pasha's troops were so ex
hausted with fatigue aud hunger
VIXEN the firing slackened last night
that most of them threw themselves
down as they halted to sleep on the
bare ground Their commander
wisely allowed them to rest to day
1t becomes more and more evident
that the fighting in Milouua pass was
of fierce and stubborn type. The
Turks fought like devils and the
Greeks resisted in the spirit Of their
ancestors. An inexplicable thing is
the comparatively small number killed.
The Turks seem TO have fred as
wildly with their rifles at Milouna
pass as at Arts, where the fighting
was an artillery duel between the
hostile batteries across the river,
lasting about FIVE hours Only one
out of FIVE shots took effect and their
batteries were soon silenced by by
the Greeks. who showed much bet
ter craftsmanship. The losses of
the Turks at Arta are thought to have
been severe. The Greeks lost not a
man killed.

two generals united their forces near
Demasi. The news of this success
at Ravena and the imminent failure
of Prevas has changed the d'smay
caused here by the loss of Milouna
into the widest rejoicing The
latest advices are that the Greek
troops are advancing to reoccupy
their positions at Miiouna and Grilho-
vail, the latter it is said
having been abandoned be-
cause of a misunderstanding
by the general in command, who in
terpreted an order of retreat that
was really intended as an order to
advance. Capt ragarde, VINO was
manager at Grithoval;. shot himself
to avoid falling into the hands of the
Turks.

lost 900 in killed and wounded at

The Cabby and the Parson.

The ways of the cabby are past compre-
hension. and the driver of the hanson in
London is no different from his brother of
the jlnrikisha of Japan. says the Boston
Herald.
One of the latest and most amusing
tales concerning the noble band of drivers
comes from a little fishing village in the
north of Scotland, says a writer in Har-
per's Round Table. The chapel of this
queer and sparseiy populated town de-
pended entirely for its supply on the oc-
casional help of the clergy in the neigh
boring towns. It so happened that upon
certain very rainy Sunday a new clergy
man from the town of S. volunteered
to conduct services IN the little chapel.
and in order to get there he engaged
vehicle which the English knew as
fly In which, through the pouring rain,
he was driven across the country to the
chapel. Upon his arrival he found no
one al hand, not even a sexton to toll
the bell to summon the natives. so he
took 1t upon himself to pull the rope,
leaving the cabby meanwhile outside in
the wet. For long time nobody arrived,
but finally one solitary Individual did ap-
pear, and sat down in a pew nearest the
door
The clergyman then donned his surplice
and began the service. When this was
ended he observed that inasmuch as there
was but one member of the congregation,
he thought it would be well to dispense
with the sermon.
''Oh no, sir. Please go on with the ser
mon
When half way through he expressed
the fear that perhaps he was firing his
listener. and was much gratifed to learn
from his own lips that such was not the
case.
Il should be glad to listen to you for
hours sir he said, and so the sermon
ran on for an hour in length. and finally
the service was concluded
The preacher then expressed, a desire
to shake hands with so fattering an
auditor. And then the trick came out
a trick which the clergyman's nearsight-
edness had prevented him from seeing al
once
His listener was none other than the
driver of the fly, who was all the time
charging HIM at so much an hour for the
use of his vehicle
The minister did not even have the con-
solutions Of getting even by ordering
collection.

a Philadelphia firm has recently booked
an order FOR twenty railway locomotives
eo- Japan. The company has just shipped
thirty locomotives 70 Japan and during
the last few months has sent probably
a greater number to Russia. Several ships
have sailed from Philadelphia lately laden
with locomotives for foreign countries. It
has been stated by an official of the loco
motive building company that there is
practically no serious European competi-
ton in this trade; that prices in Philadel-
phia can be made much lower than those
offered by English, German or French
manufacturers. The reputation Of Ameri-
can locomotives in some foreign countries.
especially China and Japan, has brought
about a competition there among Ameri-
can manufacturers so strong that the
prices are even closer than on locomotives
for the domestic market; that is to say.
the japanese railroad can buy an Ameri-
can locomotive for less money than an
American railroad would be required to
pay for it.
The locomotive and the ship building
can people a striking object lesson in the
value of protectionism. The locomotive
building industry has grown to its present
commanding, world-beating position with
out special protection on the part of the
government. It has fourished upon the
legitimate demand, and has broadened its
field by producing superior machines and
selling them cheaper than foreign manu-
facturers can afford to sell their products.
No one will deny that IL requires as high
order of mechanical labor to build a first
class locomotive as it requires to build a
sailing vessel. 1t probably requires as
large an outlay of capital to operate
locomotive plant as it does to operate a
ship yard. 1t would seem therefore under
the republican theory, that locomotive
building should be protected equally with
ship building. But such equality of pro-
lection has not been accorded; and the
locomotive builders are probably glad of
IT, The American vessel is plastered all
over. from kelson TO truck and from rud-
der to cutwater with protection. and our
registry and navigation laws are all de-
signed to extend the paternal care of the
government to the builders. No American
is given American registry for his vessel,
or allowed to sail her under the American
flag, unless she was built in an American
ship yard. If the American desires 70 buy
a ship where one can be had cheapest
in the open market, he must have her reg
istered by some foreign government and
sailed under foreign flag.
The effect of this ultra protectionism, en-
acted for the benefit of few New Eng
land ship builders at the expense of the
rest of the country, is to be seen in the
decadence of the American merchant ma
rine Once American vessels were doing
the greater part Of the foreign carrying
trade of the world to-day we are paying
$4,000 day tc foreign ship owners for
transporting our commerce. The coming
fall will witness an exceptionally great
grain harvest, which will have to be
taken abroad in foreign bottoms Our
own bottoms have been scutued by the
evil genius of protectionism.
