"The death of Bryanism," as the
gold men term it, seems to refuse to
come of at the appointed hour. The
country was promised an exhibition
OF it on a large scale in New York
city this year, but the promise has
not been fulfilled. On the contrary,
the TAmmany candidate, Judge Van
Wyck, resents the statement made in
the New York World that he was q
gold Democrat. He declared to q
Herald reporter with some heat that
the man who wrote the statement
knew he was 'theart and soul for the
Chicago ticket last fall" Conse
quently,, the nomination of Judge
VanWyck was a recognition on the
part OF Tammany that what is called
Organism" is very much alive in
New York city today.

CREVASSE AT BIGGS.
Is Now Settling Torrent and Water
Spreading Over the Country.

MEMPHIS, April 1S-No more
breaks are reported in the Louisiana
levee district tonight, although the
entertainments at Concordia and Ferri-
day, in the northern part of Concordia
Parish, are reported to be very weak
and a break may occur at any hour.
The crevasse at Biggs is now a seeth-
ing torrent, and the waters are spread
ing rapidly throughout Madison Parish
At Cowpen the levee is seeping badly,
and although a superhuman effort is
being made to hold it, many expert
enced river men are of the opinion that
a break will occur sooner or later. The
town of Vidalia is in a very critical
condition and many of the inhabitants
are hastily packing their most valuable
effects and are fleeing to Natchez.
The waters from the Biggs crevasse
are expected to inundate the town by
Wednesday.
At Natchez refugees continue to ar
rive in large numbers. while stock of
every description is coming into the
city in large droves Thousands of
men line the lower levees tonight.

SHRAPNEL PRACTICE.
The Turks Played Havoc With the
Greek OutworkS.

LONDON, April 1S-The Times"
correspondent at Elassona will say
Tomorrow:
l visited the hospital to-day Sunday
and found all admirably conducted. But
the scene was most distressing, the
wounded screaming in their agony and
feverishly tearing the bedding in their
delirium. In Saturdays hill fighting
the Turks had the advantage. They
were judiciously ambushed behind the
rocks and from their sheltered positions
maintained an incessant fire.
To-day's fighting at Milouna Pass
took place around three outlying block
houses, which We're captured, then re-
taken, captured again and again re-
taken. The insurgent position suffered
severely from the shrapnel practice of
the Turkish batteries at a range of
$500 meters. Columns of smoke could
be seen rising in every direction from
the Greek positions, caused by the
Turkish shell fire. The Greeks defend
ed with the greatest courage, but We're
not able to stand against the slow but
steady advance of the Turks.
AS evening came on, three of the out
works surrendered and asked the
Turks to cease the shell firing. The
latter now hold the advanced line, ex-
cept at one spot.
The principal fighting done by the
Turkish infantry was at Skumba and
Dumenie, to the right of the pass.

Flood Through the Biggs Break Fast
Covering the Lowlands.
Planters Placing Their Stock in
Reach of Boats, SO That They
Can be Moved in Case of Another
Break, Which is Threatened-Es-
Inmates That at Least 5000 Per-
sons Will Want Relief.

VICKSBURG, April 1S-At 6 p. m.
the river was 81 feet and s inches, fall
of three enths in the past "a hours and
total of six-tenthS since the creVasSe
at BiggS levee. The situation in Madi-
son Parish, La, is growing hourly worse.
The flood of water going through the
Biggs break in the levee is fast cover
ing the lowlands and is flooding Bay
Viday and the greater part of the land
in the southern portion of the parish.
The water has reached Tallulah, some
Is miles west of Delta. The water had
risen feet in the bayou at Tallulah and
was rising a foot an hour to-day.
Delta is about depopulated, only
enough persons remaining to look after
the houses. Many of them have two or
three feet of water in them. The back
water is fast covering the lands north
of Delta and in Young's Point much
land is already covered. At Omega the
floods are coming fast. Relief boats are
running to Davis Island and Kellogg's
section. Planters in Entail and the
northern part of Madison are placing
their stock in reach of boats on the river
front or at stations on the line of the
Vicksburg and Shreveport Railroad,
so that they can be moved in the event
of another break in the upper portion of
the parish, which is now severely threat
ened. The Milliken's Bend and Duck
port Ievees are both caving.
Reports from Madison Parish state
that the water began rising in Brusby
Bayou about Tallulah at Z o'clock this
morning and up to , p. m. it had risen
Z to miles. About three miles below
Tallulah the water is getting over the
levees and is overlooking everything two
miles below. 1t will not be upon the
higher lands until tomorrow, as there
are several feet of bank left in the
bayou. Richland, La, was heard from
to-day and reports the water going all
over everything, overlooking the Kinks
and Kels places, also the villages of
Trinidad and Ashewood, eight miles be-
low Richland. The telegraph line is
down some distance below Richland and
communication was cut off from there
up to noon to-day. 1t is now estimated
that not less than 5000 persons will
want relief in this county for the next
thirty days at least. Lieutenant Crow
ley of the United States army, reported
here from Washington by the noon
train, having been detailed to duty here
to purchase and distribute relief. He
has gone actively to work and will pur-
chase meal, meat and moasses for dis
tribution through the gentlemen named
by the Government.
John M. Coulton, one of the leading
planters of Issaquena, is in the city and
makes the following statement:
II have just returned from Issaquena
County. The present indication is that
the overflow will break all former rec
ords as to duration and destruction of
property in the line of plantation i'm
provements and lives of cattle, leaving
little prospect of planting a crop in

GREECE ACCEPTS WAR.
Premier DeIyannis Reviews Turkeys
AggresSiOnS.

ATHENS. April 1S.-There was a
late sitting of the Legislative Assem-
bly, which was held to-day. The pub
lie galleries were crowded. Amid in
tense excitement NJ. Delyannis, the
Premier announced that the Turkish
Government had to-day notified Greece
Of the rupture of diplomatic relations
on the ground of the aggressive at
titude of the Greek Government. In
cool but deliberate speech he reviewed
the recent events to show on the con-
trarv that Turkey had been the ag-
gressor: that her troops had attacked
the Greeks and attempted to occupy
neutral positions, and that her batter
les at Prevesa had sunk the Greek ship
Macedonia.
Turkey" said NJ Delyannis, de
clares war against US. We accept IT.
This statement was received with
prolonged cheers from the galleries anu
the floor of the chamber
The Premier then read dispatches re-
citing the events which had happened
on the frontier and with reference TO
the reported capture of Menexa. ne
said that the batteries at that import
ant position had been brought into
action. but he knew nothing as TO It's
alleged capture. He added that the
Turks. after repeated attempts TO force
a passage at Reveni, which commands
the road at Larissa, had been driven
| back.
The leader of the opposition, amid
renewed cheers from all parts of the
| chamber and from the galleries, elo-
ouently Endorsed the patriotic declara-
! tions of NJ Delyannis.

FOUGHT FOR THIRTY HOURS.
Behavior of the Turkish Troops Bet
ter Than the Greeks.

ELASSONA, April 1S.-The Greeks,
from all their positions in the Kayra
District, began the advance toward the
frontier at o'clock on Friday even
ing. Fighting lasted all that night and
extended on Saturday to within two
miles of the frontier. 1t is estimated
that $4,000 Greeks were engaged. The
battle continued with great vigor
throughout Friday and Sunday, when
altogether $4,000 were engaged.
On Sunday morning the fire was con-
centrated toward the southwest of Mi
louna. About noon Sunday the Greeks
began to give way after the hottest
fighting of the engagement. The Turks
advanced only little beyond the from
tier into Greek territory. Considering
the rapidity of the firing and the great
expenditure of ammunition the number
of killed is comparatively small, prob
ably under 200
Altogether the behavior of the Turk
ish troops was better than that of the
Greeks. Their officers remained cool and
collected. The fire still continues, but it
is expected to cease at nightfall as the
troops have been engaged for thirty
hours without food or sleep.

TURKS HAD THE ADVANTAGE.
Greeks Partly Successful in Cutting
Off Turkish Communication.

LONDON, April 1S.-The Elassona
correspondent Of the Times" says:
The position of affairs seems to be
that the Turkish move on Nezeros is a
feint to draw attention from Milouna.
where it is evident Edhem Pasha in
tends to advance in force on Iarissa.
This attempt will lead to severe fight
ing. The results of even yesterdays
fighting are indecisive. Accounts of it
are biased, according as they come from
the Greek or Turkish sources. 1t APP

Turks had the advantage The Greeks
were partially successful in their move

Edhem Pasha is still in communica-

in Epirus are believed to be superior to
the Turkish.

FOOT OF MILOUNA PASS, April 10,
10 a. ma fierce battle ragged in the
pass all night long. The Greeks who
entered and descended toward the val
ley encounted four battalions of Turk
ish troops, who drove them back and
at the point of the bayonet rescued the
force garrisoning the Turkish block
houses, which the Greeks had encircled
before entering the pass
Neshad Pasha, commanding the fifth
division, occupied Mount Harnia with
great force, while Hairi Pasha, COM
handing the sixth division, prepared to
enter the Tschaisahn Pass, and Haidar
Pasha, with the fourth division, oc-
cupied the Milouna Pass.
Before dawn Edhem Pasha rode out
to direct the disposition of the divis-
ions. A general engagement ensued.
The battle still continues along the en-
tire pass, over 10000 men being en-
gagged. The combat turned on the pos
session of the Greek blockhouse, which
was most obstainately defended. Sew
era1 vigorous attacks were made by
the Turks without success, but finally
about 9 o'clock by a magnificent dash
they took the blockhouse at the point
of the bayonet.
The Greeks are still defending their
positions on the summit of the hill.
At the present moment four battalions
of Mendukh Pasha'S divisions are ad-
vancing to the frontier positions al
ready taken. The Turks are fighting
like demons, the Turkish artillery doing
splendid execution under command of
Ria Pasha.

TURKS THE AGGRESSORS.
They Opened Fire on Actium Before
Prevesa Was Bombarded.

ATHENS, April 1S.-The Greek COM
mander at Actiun, opposite Prevesa,
telegraphS that the Greek steamer
Macedonia, which was fired upon this
morning by the Turkish batteries While
leaving the Gulf of Ambracia, did not
sink in deep water, but was able TO
run ashore near the entrance OF the
gulf
1t appears that the bombardment of
PreveSa only began at 1l:oO a. M,
whereas the Turkish forces there open
ed hot fire upon Actium at 5:30 a. m
A column was formed at the telegraph
station, but the building was convert
ed into a fort and was garrisoned by
500 men, The Turkish fire completely
destroyed it, several of the garrison
being killed and wounded, although
the Turkish aim was often wide.
The Greek commander requested in
structions by telegraph and the Min
lister of War ordered him to lombard
Prevesa Immediately.
At 10 a. m. the Shafidaki fort fired
few shots on a Greek gunboat, which
replied, effectually silencing the Turk
ish battery. At IL o'clock the Greeks
began to attack the Turkish forts out
SIDE the entrance OF lHe gull pcli I4s
to divert the enemys attention and
partly in order to prevent the massacre
of the Greeks at Prevesa- The Greek
ironclad Spelzai has arrived to assist
in bombarding Prevesa, and the gun
boats continue to lombard from INSIDE
the gulf.
According to the latest kilograms 70
600 Greeks have crossed the Gulf OF
Arta from Vonitza to Salagora, and are
now marching on Prevesa. Various re-
ports are current as to the landing OF
