War and Trade.

II. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review or
Trade says: "If either Turkey or Greece
had been wholly buried in the sea, mar
kets might have been affected less than
by the outbreak of war in Europe. Like
FIRE in the heart of crowded city IT rails
ed the question if a general confiagratlon
may spring out of it. To this possibility,
and not TO the direct influence of either
Turkey or Greece, upon the worlds money
or produce markets was due the excite
ment in grain and stocks. AS the un-
known is magnified, American markets
were much more fiighty than European,
where the possibilities have been discuss
ed and partly discounted for months. But
the uncertainty remains and Will AFFECT
movement of money and staples until 1t
disappears, creating a larger demand for
American products at higher prices, caus-
ing hasty speculative selling of securities
at times, but also more continuous buying

on questions important 10 this country.

Armour Institute IN Chicaae Wednesday
night, under auspices Of the American In
stitute Of Electrical Engineers, . paper
entitled "A New Form for the Transmits
sion Of Intelligence" Prof. Bedelrs pa
per was based upon an invention just per-
fected by DR.. A. @. Crehore, a professor
at Dartmouth University, and Lieut.. G.
o. Squier. connected with the electrical
department at Fort Monroe. The inven-
ton, which required the labors of two
years to perfect. is known as the synchro-
nograph, and embraces new method for
rapidly transmitting intelligence by the
alternating current. With the new inven-
tion II is said to be possible to transmit
5000 words a minute over the ordinary
telegraph wire. Under the method now
commonly in use it requires several days
to send the contents of daily newspaper
over the wires, while with the synchrono-
graph, it IL claimed, the time can be linn
tied to the neighborhood of an hour. DIR.
Crehore and Lieut.. Squier are responsible
for the perfection of the range-inder now
adopted by the United States. Government
and used in obtaining accuracy In firing at
vessels. They also have developed a
method for measuring the velocity OF
cannon balls

Will Not Permit Any Changes In He
Official Force.
A Washington dispatch says: Comp
troller Eckels has given several gentlemen
who have applied for reinstatement as
clerks and bank examiners in his bureau
to understand that he will not permit any
changes to be made in his force If he can
prevent 1t while he remains in Office. In
asmuch as Mr.. Eckels has year to serve,
the place hunters who have an eye on his
bureau are much disgruntled and are try
ing to raise an issue between him and
Secretary Gage over the arrangement OF
the clerical force. Thus far, however,
they have failed and there have been no
signs of friction in that quarter. The
hope Of the place hunters is that Mr.. Eek
els may permit himself to be irritated to
the point of resigning rather than submit
to interference with his clerical force. he
has several offers of outside employment
that will pay him more than he is now
receiving, but he has a pride in staying
to the end of his five years term-next
April-and is not likely to permit himself
to be trapped into resigning to crafty the
spoilsmen. 1t can be said with truth that
there is no disposition on the part of either
the President or Secretary Gage to dis
turb Comptroller Eckels or to interfere in
his administration of the affairs of his
Office. He is practically the only relic Of
the Cleveland reign with whom this ad-
ministration appears to be in sincere SYM
pathy

Is almost wholly destroyed. The East
ern Greek feet, after bombarding Ka-
trina on the Gulf of Salonica and reducing
the town, landed n detachment and cap
tured an immense quantity of stores, in
Guiding provisions and ammunition des-
tined for the use of Edhem Pasha's ar
mics.
Greek troops have forced the, inhabit-
ants to abandon Kafia and Kosnitzade-
son, two fortified Turkish towns. The
people fled in terror when the cannonad-
ing began. and were forced to leave all
their possessions for the victorious
Greeks. Terrific fighting is reported from
Arta, where the Turks suffered repulses
constantly while attempting TO cross the
bridge into the town. The Moslems were
met at each onslaught by rife volleys and
were forced back in disorder. Again and
again, under cover Of heavy cannon fire,
they tried TO cross the bridge, but could
proceed no farther than the center.
Finally. in one assault, the Turkish
commander was killed, and his men fell
back in confusion, and made no more at
tempts to carry the bridge. Then the
Turkish cannon were silenced. Athens
advices say that the excitement there over
the Greek successes everywhere is In
tense, and reports from Volo say that even
women there are arming themselves to do
hattie with the Turks.

Crown Prince Constantine has stirred
Athens to high pitch of enthusiasm over
his reports to King George of Greek sue
cesses everywhere in Thessaly. The Hell
lenic troops, under the crown prince, have
destroyed the Turkish battery at Ligeria.
The Moslems have retired from Nezeros
and Rapsari and are appalled, by the de-
struction of all their stores at Katerina
and Lithochorion. From Salonica comes
the news that after fierce battle the
Greeks occupied Karya, small fortified
town near Milouna Pass. Osman Pasha
has succeeded Edhem Pasha as command
er-in-chief of the Turkish armies. Ed
hem Pasha has been recalled by the sui
tan and the hero of Plevna will try to
rally the Moslem troops, who, ii is con-
ceded, even at Constantinople, have been
outfought at all points by the Hellenes.
At Constantlnople the situation is re-
garded as serious, and the recall of Ed
hem Pasha is taken to be rebuke to that
general for the manner in which Grown
Prince Constantine has apparently out
generated him in all moves made on the
Thessalian border since the first skirmish
at Milouna Pass. Ahmed Hifzi Pasha

Veteran. and civil Service.

All of the executive departments are re-
ceiving large numbers of letters from ex-
soldiers indicating general misunder-
standing as to their rights to appointment
to Office. Many Of the veterans who are
after Office seem to labor under the i'm
preston that they can be appointed to
positions in the civil service without the
formafity of the examination or requisi-
ton on the Civil Service Commission. This
is largely due to the fact that the law
provides that ex-soldiers within the civil
service who resign or who are displaced
for cause other than their own fault may
be reinstated to their old positions at any
time. The law, however, makes no pro-
vision giving preference to soldiers in en-
tering the government service who have
not been in the civil service before, except
that officials making acquisitions on the
Civil Service Commission for list Of ell
gible appointees may favor the veterans
who may happen to be on that list.

HAT TRIMMINGS CASE DECIDED.
Government Wins the Famous Suit
with Importers.

Government Wins the Famous Suit
with Importers.
The famous hat trimmings case, which
involved between $4,000, 600 and $780,
900, 900, which has been postponed from
time to time for the last three years, was
finally decided in favor of the Govern
ment by a jury in the United States Court
at Philadelphia Tuesday afternoon. The
suit was brought as test case by Meyer
a. Dickinson, big importers Of that city,
who sought to recover from the United
States difference of 80 per cent in
customs duties. The firms contention
was that the importations in question con-
sisted solely of hat trimmings, on which
the duty under the Mckinley tariff act
was only 20 per cent, but the Federal
officials In their argument maintained that
the merchandise was used chiefly for
dresses and dress trimmings, and that the
