WAR DEPARTMENT REPORTS.
"Buffalo Gnats" Destroying Cattle
Relief Measures Continued.

The buffalo gnat'' is proving itself to
be such a pest in the flooded Mississippi
Valley below NatcheZ that at the earnest
request OF the Army officer who is inspect
ing that district Secretary Alger has di-
rected that oil be supplied to place on the
cattle. Hundreds of cattle have been de-
stroyed already by these pests.
Capt. Davis reported from Memphis that
conditions were better in his district, but
he asked that two additional officers be-
detailed in the distribution of food TO the
sufferers. This request will be complied
with.
Major Craig telegraphed the Secretary
OF War from New Orleans as follows: Il
have had interviews with parties, rep
resented TO me as responsible, who report
that 372 persons, including men, women
and children, are destitute from over
flow in vicinity OF Nestor, on the left
bank below organized levee district, who
practically have been in that condition
for several weeks.
III is recommended that the commissary
of subsistence here be instructed to pur
chase and have shipped weekly for three
weeks to party at Nestor, to be designated
by me, rations consisting OF not exceeding
eight ounces of bacon, fifteen ounces of
cornmeal, and one-half pint OF molasses. y

ROSS AND w1GHT,s NOMINATIONS
Favorable Report Probable at the
Next Meeting of the Committee.

If quorum of the District OF Columbia
Committee can be obtained at Fridays SEES
sion, there / S no doubt that a favorable re-
port will be ordered on the nominations of
John b. Wight and John w Ross for Dis
trict Commissioners. There is no known OBJ
position Go the confirmation of either of
these gentlemen, except the hostility OF
some of the Democratic Senators to the
nomination of Mr.. Ross because OF the fact
that he opposed the regular Democratic
nominee for President last fall.
However, there is no such feeling mani
tested against Mr.. Ross as that which de-
velOped in opposition to Henry L. Davis,
President Cleveland's nominee for district
attorney. 1t was then felt that Mfr. Davis
nomination was the direct reward for his
course in the campaign This is not be-
lieved by any to be the case with regard
to Mr.. Ross. Even those Senators who are
opposed to his nomination do not believe
that it was due TO his course in the cam
paign, but rather to his efficiency in office.
The report of the District Committee is
likely TO be unanimous on both men.

The struggle at Tyrnavos.

Unless late dispatches this morning should
serve to change the aspect Of the Gratco-
Turkish situation, the chance for Greek
success i'm Thessaly is not hopeless On
the basis of last nights reports, which
were to some extent ambiguous, it appears
that yesterday Edhem Pasha was furious
~ assaulting Prince onstantine's IN ain
line of defense at TyTnavos. but had not
vet carried it The news corroborates the
view expressed in this journal That the le-
pulse of the Turks at the pass of Reveni
and the movement of the Greek troops
through that opening to turn the Turkish
left flank and deliver decisive blow at
Edhem's rear, was of the highest import
ance to the cause OF Greece.
II seems that the movement has been 20
some extent successful The fortified
town OF Damasi, beyond Reveni Pass,"ccu-
pies much the strategic relation 20 Elassona,
Edham Pasha's headquarters, that Tyma-
vos does TO Larissa Tits reported thattwo
Greek divisions have successfully ooncen'
trated at Damasi, taken and burned the
town. IL Prince Constantine has the force
toimprove this advantage and keep the line
OF communication open between has main
army in front of Larissa and the corps at
tacking the Turkish rear, it is probable that
the Mohammedan commander would com
PEELED to halt, because the Greeks might
be able to change their tactics from the
defensive to a simultaneous assault pom
tile Turkish front and rear.
This, OF course, is an ultimate chlnce'
the movement may have come too ate.
Edhem may succeed in taking Tyraavos,
and in cutting off the main body OF The
Greek army from Reveni, and beating
the divided forces in detail. before a Sc
rious assault can be made from Mount olym-
pus and Damasi, on the Turkish SIDE OF
the boundary. If that happens, and it
is within the possibilities that II may have
happened today, King George is likely 10
be run out OF Thessaly in very short oIder,
as his army is no match for its antagonist
on the open plain OF Larissa.
All depends upon Prince Constantines
ability TO hold Tyrnavos until has detached
generals can strike blow on the other
side of the mountains and the Greek oGer-
;itions in Epirus have resultedin a serious
demonstration against the Turkish right.
Considered 10y themselves, the invasion OF
Epirus, tie capture of Prevesa and other
points. and the victorious march of Col
Manos toward Janina, the capital of the
province are important: but they pale
into ihsienificance when compared with
the desperate struggle for the possession
OF Tynavos.
However the event may Toe decided, Euro
peau opinion is that war VIII not he rer-
nitted TO continue long before some of
the great powers intervene and call for
cessation of hostilities But we have seen
European opinion greatly in error as to
the mann tact of the war breaking out
at all and the immediate future is much
more apt to be decided by whatever may
he the motives and interests OF Russia
in the premises.

Murat Halsfead Declares His Cou-

vigorous defense Of the honor Of Louis w.
IIalstead, his foinsin, who was slot and
killed in this city Oh April by Charles NJ
Reid, resulted Today in unexpected action
by the grand jury. Indictmentsfor murder
were found against Reid, his wife, Eugenia;
her brother, Jere Garfield and E. s. Den
ington IL is probable that other indict-
nents will be found, and that the case,
which was thought to have been practically
dropped, will result in fight for the lives
OF the accused
The story told at the time of the murder
was that Halstead had insulted Mrs. Reid,
and that he was shot by her husband to
ayenge the insult. Reid was arrested and
locked up, but the next day the coloner's
jury returned verdict Of justifiabe homi-
eide. Halstead was a stranger in town,
with no friends The news was sent to
Murat Ilalstead, who had the body taken
care Of, and who communicated with the
public prosecutor
They have been quietly and secretly at
work ever since, and yesterday the grand
jury announcement came. 1t is said by
the prosecution that Halstead did not in
sult Mrs. Reid, and that the shooting was
nothing more nor less than deliberate
murder.

DISTURBED ABOUT JONES.
Republicans Don't Feel Sure as t.
the Nevada Senator's Vote.

Republicans Don't Feel Sure as u
the Nevada Senator's Vote.
The Republican members of the Finance
Committee are said to be greatly distuI bed
by the report that Senator John p. Jones
is offended at the unceremonous manner in
which he has been ignored by the private
caucus Of tariff tinkers at the Arlington
Hotel
senator Jones is sometimes classed us
Populist, but he is unquestionably pro-
tectionist, and, most important of all con-
sideratiuns, he holds the balance of power
in the Finance Committee, which is tie be
tween the Republicans ald Democrats with
out his vote. The Senator has left the city,
and nobody knows when he expects to re-
turn. All possible pressure will be brought
TO bear upon him TO vote right" as the
high proteotionists say, but until he has
stated his intentions there will continue to
be great uneasiness in the Finance Com
mittee.
tits expected that the amended Dingley
bill will be reported to the full committee
on Saturday or Monday next, and sent into
the Senate as soon as Senator Jones permits
the bill 10 be reported.
The Republican members ofthe committee
are getting great deal OF wholesome
tariff reform literature in letters and
petitions, which are promptly pigeon
holed. One of the most recent petitions
is from the president of the Ma tonal Assoc
citation Of Composition Roofers. He saws
Coal tar crude, pitch Of coal tar and
dead or creosote oil have been on

from 40 to 60 per cent of the products
named to supply the present demand in
this country. Within a year oonsolida
ton or combination has been formed OF
different concerns, with capital Of
$5,oOo,c00, that has under its control
very large proportion of the materials
supplied in this country.
This concern appeared before the House
Committee, asking for ii duty on the raw
materials SO necessaryto the her manufac-
turers of the country. All applications
for Il duty emanated directly or indirectly
nom this ono concern.
1t is fair estimate to say that 80 per
cent of the manufacturer and users OF
these materials in the United States are
earnestly desiTous to have these remain
on the free list, as heretofore. The tariff
asked for would place burden, not only
upon our fellow-craftsmen throughout
the country, hut would increase the cost OF
the roofs TO shelter the multitudes OF this
broad land, without materially increasing
the revenue 60 the Government.
The only ones to be benefited by such
a tariff would be the monopolistic Cum
bination above mentioned, who control
the greater portion of the domestic pre-
duction of the articles named

Political Alumni.

IL has long been custom for the grad
oates Of various colleges TO meet together
on some special day, perhaps once year,
perhaps oftener, and renew their youth
with songs and speeches. and good things
TO eatand drink Round the cheerful board
OF the alumni dinner all men meet in the
equality Of the dress suit, andin the smoke
OF cheerful pipes and cigars all rivalries
and differences 20 up to the ceiling and
stay there till the fun isover- These festivi-
ties add much TO the gaiety of the nation.
They are good, and warm the cookies OF
the heart
Many people in and out OF the A dminis-
tration are wondering just now what we
shall do with our "ex's,' not the least
among these wondering gentlemen being
the ex's'' themselves, VINO are often
painfully at a loss for occupation when
they no longer hold office one OF the
most distinguished of their number has
solved this problem by getting married,
which is occupation enough for any man
till some time after the wedding; and an
other, il was rumored, planned to study
theology, though nothing has been heard
Of him since But for the most part, these
gentlemen wander about in a pitiful state
Of bewilderment; trying sometimes to
catch at the whirling buzz saw of pol
itics, and getting their fingers Clipped;
meditating sometimes on departed glories,
which always leave an unoomtortably
gone feelingin the medi tator; making money
now and then, and not thinking il half so
much fun as politics.
This state Of things was not quite so
common in tie older and more lcisurely
times Men did not achieve a reputation
at such an early age, and there were, per-
haps, not so many great men; at any rate,
they held office longer and were in active
management Of things till they were
quite old But 1t is different now. Why
not have Political Alumni Association?

much, and these ways have been suggested
The first impulse of every healthy man,
if he is attacked on the street, IS 20 yell
that somebody may come TO his assistance
and dispose of the assailant with neatress
and dispatch, In doing this, probably
most people would call ''Murderi' Now,
according to a sapient observer Of human
nature, there is no earthly use in doing
that IL gives the impression that III that
is going on is an ordinary street low ,aBd
comfortable householders cover up their
heads and do not stick them out of the
windows to see what is going ON. The
really effective cry is "File!" Every
body wants TO know where a fire is; no.
body cares much about being mixed up in
murder So, If you really want TO bring
the whole street to the rescue, that is the
way Another original suggestion is in re-
gard to weapons Most men do not ca re to
carry pistols in their pockets or knives in
their boots, even if there were no law
against concealed weapons. But there is
a little arrangement that hicyclists some
times carry for the benefit of stray dogs,
which resembles boys squirt gun and is
filled with ammonia A dose of this in
the eyes of the assailant will surprise him
SO that he won't know what has happened,
and it will not kill him, either. Men who
have to traverse dubious neighborhoois at
night should notice these two suggestions
