Salem, Or. April PEE. 7. Johnson,
who is hunting Iaborers for contractors
on the Astoria railroad, has submitted
to Superintendent Gilbert, of the peni-
tentiary, proposition to hire the idle
conyiets. There is some question as to
whether or not the authorities have
the right to hire out conyicts. The
matter is being investigated. The
working of convicts, Mr.. Johnson says,
would in no way interfere with free
labor. He gives positive assurance
that all who will work can get employ
ment, and says that the only reason for
wanting eonyicts is his inability to get
sufficient free labor.

action of the House.
Washington, April 24.-The session
of the senate today was one of the most
eventful since congress assembled.
Allen offered resolution providing
that the chief executive express the
sympathy OF the American people TO
the government OF Greece. The sena-
tor declared the contest was one be-
tween Christianity and Paganism.
During the debate, Davis, chairman of
the committee on foreign relations, to
whom the resolution was referred,
promised speedy action.
The debate on the senate committee
aroused Morgan to speech of unusual
severity. He spoke of ''dictatorships"
and of the subordination of public bus
iness to politics. He characterized the
condition of inaction in the house of
representatives as the most gigantic
and unheard of filibustering ever at
tempted. In conclusion, Morgan said
that the speaker of the house. who
had been known as the great white
czar, - would be hereafter known as the
great white filibuster.' =
Another stirring chapter on the same
subject was added by Allen, who pro
posed complete cessation Of senate
business, except to consider appropria-
tion bills, until committees were filled.
The resolution led to another heated
debate, in which Chandler and Allen
participated. The resolution finally
went over.
The bankruptcy bill was passed by a
decisive vote of 40 to s. The bank
ruptcy bill as passed is the substitute
offered by Nelson of Minnesota The
success of this substitute in dlsplacing
the committee bill was great surprise
and disappointm ant to the judiciary
committee, which had reported com
prehensive measure, known as the Tor
rey bill. 1t was regarded as a personal
triumph of Nelson. The Nelson bill
as passed provides for voluntary or in
voluntary bankruptcy.
The free homestead" bill was made
the unfinished business Of the senate
committee of fifteen senators was
named to participate in the Grant cere-
monies.
The announcement of the death of
Representative Holman was made, and
the senate adjourned as mark of re-
spect.
The house today adopted a special
order for the consideration of the SEN
ate amendments to the Indian appro-
priation bill without reference to
committee.
The Democratic dissensions again
came to the surface. Bailey and his
followers joined with the Republicans
on this proposition, after the special
order had been modified so as to cover
the other appropriation bills. Bland
protested vigorously against the course,
but only had following of twenty
four, not enough to get second vote.
Simpson is out OF the city, and there
fore was not in evidence.
The senate amendments Of minor
Importance were eoncurred in, except
ing that providing for the removing of
the Indian supply depot from Chicago
to Omaha. The amendment relative
to the opening of the Uncompahgre
reservation was not acted on today.
While it was being debated, the
death Of Judge Holman was announced,
and as mark of respect, the house adj
journed.

A srries of Victories for King Georges
Army.


London, April 26.-The Athens cor
respondent of the Chronicle says that
the Crown Prince Constantine has
wired to King George as follows:
THE Turks are quiet today, owing
to our success yesterday. We have de-
stroyed the Turkish battery at Ligeria.
The Turks have retired from Nezeros
and Rapsani. The action of our fleet
at katerina was excellent. / was in
the first line of fire yesterday. "
The correspondent of the Chronicle
says:
The Turks are greatly dismayed by
the destruction of their stores at Kat
erina and at Litochaion. Commodore
Sachtouris destroyed the stores from
the coast to the foot OF Mount Olympus.
Nothing remains, therefore, for Edhem
Pasha to carry away but hunger.
The coast road being barred, the only
remaining road from Salonica is the
Ferri road, eight days from Elassona.
The reports Of the injury to the rail
way line by the blowing up Of bridges
and tunnel are confirmed.

1t is reported here (Athens) that the

Private advices from Volo say that

Veria have risen.
Among the wounded who have ar
rived here are several who state that a
number of Greeks wounded at Critic

treat We're shut up in a small church
by the Turks, who set fire to the build
ing and burned them to death.
From the Greek Standpoint.
London, April 26. The Greek charge
d'affaires here received dispatch
dated Athens today, giving the exact
situation on the Thessalan frontier
from the Greek standpoint. 1t is as
follows:
In Thesaly, in the direction Of
Reyeni and Boughasi, our forces have
penetrated into Turkish territory and
advanced toward Damais.
"All attacks Of the enemy have been
repulsed in the direction OF Gritzovali.
Our army occupies strong position
at Matt, where there has been fighting
since yesterday. The Turkish attacks
have been repulsed
THE Greeks had to retire from Nes-
eros, falling back on the bank OF the
Derchi, a strong position, which they
are now defending. In Eprus our
army is advancing and has captured
Fort Imaret, Filipiada and several viz
lagos. The Greeks have also occupied
Salagera, capturing three cannon,

At first Capt Lee thought of resist
ance, but sober second thought came
to the rescue and in little while he
was in the hands of the patriots.
"Your trick will fall short of its de-
sign, my little rebel" he exclaimed.
Capt. James shall not be exchanged for
Capt. Lee. I promise you that"
Betty made no reply and her late
guest was hustled from the premises
and escorted to the nearest American
camp where he was turned over to the
commander thereof.

evening a young soldier rode up to the
Logan home and sprang lightly to the
ground.
He was met at the steps of the trel-

sparkled above flushed cheeks.

Exchange is hardly to be thought of,
you know, since our people do not hold
as prisoner an officer of equal rank"
The conversation now drifted to
other subjects, and Capt Lee was most
pleasantly entertained by his fair host
| css.
He knew that Betty Logan was in
tensely loyal to the cause of the col
onies; but out of respect for her ap-
parent helplessness her property had
not been disturbed, though on several
occasions several spies had been
tracked to it.
Her only servants were Peter and a
housemaid as loyal as her mistress, and
with these Betty, the fair rebel, in
babited the little home near the Hud-
son in almost open defiance of the sol
diers of the king.
Fond of music, Capt. Lee importuned
his hostess for a song, and, rising, Betty
swept to the instrument in one corner
of the cozy parlor
"What are your favorites, captain ?"
she asked, with a sly look over her
shoulder.
.Washington's Retreat for one"
said the officer with light laugh as he
mentioned a song at that time popular
in rovalist circles in New York.
The cheeks of Betty Logan flushed
and her fingers swept the ivory keys as
if impelled by magic.

tinued the captain.
II am here to entertain you and
.Washingtons Retreat shall be given
according TO request"
In another moment the melodious
voice of the girl seemed to fill the house
as she sang the piece which had re-
ceiyed encore after encore in the the
aters wherever the British held sway.

ST. Louis. June 2e.-The reports of
heavy storms throughout southern
Illinois and Missouri continue to be re-
eeived. Last night, and until an early
hour to-day, st. Louis was again de-
iuged with rain. While the wind has
been destructive to trees, crops and
buildings in some sections, the rain has
greatly benefited some crops. Around
Cairo, Ill, fully FIVE inches of rain has
fallen within the last week, breaking
the drought and saving corn and other
crops.
The points throughout Missouri
where the storm was especially severe
were Moberly, Alexandria, Fayette,
Trenton and California. Several lives
were lost through lightning. Mrs.
Ruben Rockabaugh, wife of a farmer,
was instantly killed while sitting at a
window of her house, two miles from
Albany. Albert Rouster, farm hand
living near st. Charles, Mo-, also suf-
fered death in the same way, while a
number of farmers in both Illinois and
Missouri had barns and crops burned

The British captain was on the eve
OF rising when Betty again appeared in
the doorway and announced dinner.
She had made a little change in her
toilet and looked prettier than ever,
and Capt. Lee, with an appetite sharp
ened by his ride from the city, to say
nothing of the wait in the parlor, rose
with alacrity.
The dining-room was tastefully
trimmed with flowers and evergreen,
the work of which Betty ascribed to her
maid, Polly, and Polly, blushing to the
tips of her fingers, as it seemed, ac-

away and Polly was near by to see
that Capt. Lee as her mistress guest
wanted for nothing.
The table was spread with the deli
cacies of the season, which told Capt
Lee that the young girls larder had not
suffered much if any, through the war
AT last the young officer pushed aside
his plate and leaned back in his chair.
I'm sorry l cannot offer you a des-
