the Streets of Athens.

London, April Bottle Standards cor
respondent at Athens says:
Last evening as the crown princess,
Sophia, was returning from visit to
the ambulance hospital, she was Kissed
and jeered by the crowd, which forced
her to return to the hospital. The royal
carriage was then summoned, and the
princess drove to the palace at the top
speed of the horses.
THE royal arms have been stripped
from the carriages in order that the
occupants may drive about unrecognized
and thus avoid similar experiences.
CAS- another indication of popular feel
ing may point out that many of the
tradesmen who have been wont to dis
play the royal escutcheons in front of
their shops have removed these.

laws"
1t is expected that the regulations re-
ferred to will give the details of the time
and manner of putting the law into eff
1ect the holding of elections for the coun-
ell OF administration, etc. The change
is of such sweeping character that the
application of the laws will be attended
with many difficulties. The action
taken at Madrid was based on Gen.
Weyler's advices that the largest group
OF insurgents in the provinces covered by
the order was one of about 200 men.

News From Larissa.

Larissa, April 2S-Delayed in trans
mission -Volo has not yet been cap
tured, but the town is practically at the
mercy of the Turks The Greek tactics
are difficult to understand. 1t is asked
here why if the Greeks intended to retire
when the Turks entered the plain they
did not destroy the telegraph lines,
bridges and food supplies, as well as un-
exploded magazines, and why they did
not take the guns instead of leaving here
almost everything necessary for great
army. Inasmuch as they lost their
heads, it is not thought likely that they
will offer any effective resistance at
Pharsalos to the victorious Turks. whose
discipline and conditions are splendid.
The people of Larissa are gradually re-
turning. There is not the slightest dis
order. No one is allowed in the streets
at night without permit.

RED HOT ROAST,

The Louisville Courier Journal is a
strong Democratic paper, edited by
Hon. Henry Watterson, a man of ster
ling integrity, and whose brilliant abil-
tiles have advanced his newspaper TO
the front rank of American journal
ism. The Courier Journal says:
THE Courier Journal speaks from a
thorough knowledge of Tennessee, and,
speaking thus, we lhave not the least
doubt that Bryan, AS well as Taylor, was
beaten in the State. Rotten is the one
word that best describes the political
conditions there. The elements of the
Democratic party which supported
Bryan have long prevented fair cleo
tons in Tennessee. They look upon
opposition as impious, Many of them
believe that they are fully justified in
resorting to any method to defeat such
opposition. They have more than once
stolen the State, and they are proud of
it."
Truly it has come to pass that the
old Volunteer State has a name that is
below every other name, and there is
no help for it as long as the machinei is
in power.

airy payment of the interest on her

it appears that there was no necessity
for Pete's extra session. The ring

G~ubernatorial aspirations, but he has
certainly succeeded in exposing its
r%ottenness and extravaganza and es-
t%ablishing its right and claim to the
everlasting detestation and exertions
