Minority Attitude on tho Tarln Bill
Outlined-whn Not Unduiy Delay II.
WASHINGTON. April 23.-There has
been some discussion Of the probable
program of the Democratic members
Of the finance committee with refer
erence to the tariff bill, and it Is
learned that, while their plans are
not definitely matured, they intend to
have reasonable consideration Of the
bill In committee, and believe that
they will have the support of Senator
Jones of Nevada upon any fair propo.
sition they submit The Democrats do
not want al extended consideration
In committee, but may desire to offer
some amendments after they see the
bill. the adoption Of which they consid-
err they would be more likely to secure
in the committee than in the open Sen
ate. 1t is said that in the Senate the
Democratic plan is not to delay the
bill any longer than is necessary, but
that every senator desiring 10 discuss
1t shall have the opportunity to do SO,
and that such record-making votes as
the Democrats think necessary shall
be had. This policy the Democrats
will pursue to the end.

AN EXCITING SESSION.
senate Passes tho BANKRUPTCY BILL
Speaker Reed Denounced

W. As0Nu denounced.
WAsHiNoroS, April 24.-The session
Of the Senate yesterday was one of the
most eventful since Congress assem-
bled. IL opened with a proposition for
an official expression of sympathy 10
the Greeks in their struggle with Tur-
Key. This soon was merged into n
turbulent debate over the disorganized
state OF the Senate, during which Sem
ator Morgan characterized Speaker
Reed as the great white flibuster."
Later in the day, the Nelson bank
ruptcy bill was passed by the decisive
vote of 40 to 8.
Mr.. Allen of Nebraska offered the
resolution providing that the chief ex-
ecutive express the sympathy Of the
American people to the government of
Greece. The Senator declared that
the present contest was one between
Christianity Ind paganism. At the re-
quest of Mr.. Davis, chairman Of the
committee on foreign relations. the
resolution was referred, Mr.. Davis
promising speedy action.
The debate on Senate committees
aroused Mr.. Morgan TO a speech of
unusual severity. He spoke of "dicta-
torships" and Of the subordination of
public business to politics. He char.
acterized the condition Of inaction in
the house of representatives as 'the
most gigantic and unheard of flibus.
ter" ever attempted.
In conclusion, Mr.. Morgan said that
the speaker Of the house, who had
been known as the great white czar.r
should be hereafter known as the
great white filibuster."
Another chapter to the same sub
ject was added by Mr.. Allen, who pro-
posed a complete cessation of senate
business, except to consider appropria.
ton bills, until committees were filed.
The resolution led to another heated
debate, In which Messrs. Chandler,
Gear and Allen participated. The
resolution finally went over.
The. bankruptcy bill. as passed, Is
h substitute framed by Mr.. Nelson,
OF Minnesota. The success of this
substitute in displacing the committee
bill was a great surprise and disap.
pointment to the judiciary committee,
which had reported a comprehensive
bill known as the Torrey bill. 1t was
regarded as n personal triumph for
Mr.. Nelson.
The Nelson bill, as passed, provides
for voluntary and involuntary bank.
ruptcy, but the theory of its author
was to free it from harshness and
make it OF substantial benefit to debt
ors and creditors.

named to participate in the Grant Ger.

Murderer's Hand Stayed.
ROME, April IA desperate attemp:
by a political fanatic was made this
afternoon to assassinate King Hum.
bert, but the man was seized by the
guards before he had done m harm.
The king left his palace at 2:3t
o'clock to go to the races. A small
body guard accompanied him. On the
principal street of the city, a man
leaped forward from the sidewalk and
drawing u dagger tried to jump into
the royal carriage, at the same time
uttering incoherent cries.
One OF the guards seized the nan be.
fore he could even raise his arm, and
the next moment he was overpowered
and disarmed.
The man gave his name rs Pietro
Acciarito and said that he was an iron
worker out of employment. He de-
clared that he had no accomplices.
The king drove at once to the Camp.
anelle race course, apparently un-
moved. There he was greatly cheered
as soon rs the news Of his escape be-
came known.

New Turkish Commander.

WASHINGTON, April 2i.-Secretary
Sherman has received q brief cable.
gram from Minister Terrell at Con-
stantinople stating that Osman Pasha,
the old hero of the Turkish defense at
Plevna. left Constantinople last night
to assume command of the Turkish
army in the field. The cablegram is
regarded here as significant of some
change of plans ON the part of the
Turks. The new Turkish commander
held Plevna in the Russo-T Turkish war
Of 1877 against General Skobelof
and a vastly superior Russian force
for two months, and only surrendered
after repeated sorties had failed. He
is regarded as the greatest general in
Turkey to-day.

HEADQUARTERS OF THE GREEK ARMY,
LARIssA, April 24.-The latest advices
rs to the situation Mt Demasi show
that on Sunday the Turks made a
sortie from the town and attacked the
Greek position at Boughazi Pass and
Sideropoluki. After severe fighting,
the Greeks drove the Turks back
across the frontier, with a loss of Ave
guns.
eign Legion, including twenty-siX
Englishmen under Captain Birch, ar
rived here on Tuesday. They were
received with a great demonstration,
which was repeated on their departure
for the front in the evening. Intense
enthusiasm was caused among the
Greeks when the Englishmen sang the
Greek national war songs.
The estimation in which the Turks
are held is shown by the stampede OF
the whole population on the frontier.
The villages and roads to Larissa are
literally blocked with fugitives, herds
OF cattle, horses and donkeys, women
and children on foot, old women car.
rying chairs, beds and household gea-
on their backs, IN donkeys, in on
wagons, and in every conceivable sort
of vehicle.
Larissa Is overcrowded. Food il
scarce; the hospitals are full, and
there is an urgent appeal for nurses
and surgical assistance. The wounded
are arriving hourly, and all the surg
ical operations must be performed
without ch~loroform, as there L. none
to be had.

LONDON, April -. According to the
latest advices from the seat of the
Gieco-Turkish war, $4,000 Turks un-
der Edhem Pasha have captured Tyr
navo and are within an hours march
OF Larissa, but are confronted by 3o,-
600 Greeks desperate but we'll nigh ex-
haustcd by their unceasing fighting
since the war began.
Thus the situation OF the Greeks
would seem TO be desperate, but IL is
declared that Crown Prince Constan-
tine weakened the forces about the
headquarters In order to send 20, 900
Greeks TO tho rear OF the Turks
with the intention of cutting off
their line of retreat and base OF sup.
plies. A portion OF this army has as
It's objective point the Salonica rail-
road, which Is the solitary line Of
supplies for the Turkish army. With
tho support Of the Greek feet. which
has arrived Mt Platamona, IL Is now
believed that Edhein Pasha's army
will be caught on tho plains Of Thes-
sally with 10000 Greeks under Prince
Constantine In front Of him and 20, 600
men and the Greek fleet behind In
possession Of his line Of retreat nnd
base OF supplies. This contingency
was not suspected by the Turks until
yesterday. A short distance west of
Milouna the Greek army has taken
the pass Of Reveni and Is making its
way into Turkish territory.
Has Edhem leon Outgsneraled?
Thus the two armies have passed
each other, each going into the en-.
emy's country. AS yet nothing has
been heard Of the 20, 900 Greeks who
are In the mountains east Of Milouna
pass, but IL was reported from Athens
that q the proper time this portion
OF the Greek army would mako an i'm
portant move.
The investment OF Larissa was begun
Turkish army which arrived within an
hours march OF that town. having cap
tured the towns Of Kriechora and
Badji To meet the plan Of campaign
Of Prince Constantine, which he now
seems to fully realize, Edhem Pasba
has requested the porte to order the
Turkish fleet hurried to the gulf OF
Salonica to meet the Greek vessels.
The original plan Of the Turkish com
mander was to divide his army In.
to two portions; one OF which was
70 try TO break through at the western
end Of the frontier ut the gulf Of Arta,
while tho other was TO force the
passes commanding the approaches to
Larissa, and so by different routes nd.
vance TO Athens. The plan in the
west has failed ~signnlly. The Turks
have been greatly disconnected by the
arrival Of n portion OF the Greek feet
In western waters, tho bombardment
Of Prevesa and the vigorous attacks of
the Greek army under Colonel Manos.
Instead Of passing the boundary at
Arta the Turks have found that the
Greeks have invaded Turkish territory
and that Colonel Manos is now well on
his way to Jannina.

Put Down tho Greeks.

CoYsTANTINoPLE, April 23-The
sitting OF the military commission has
been continuous since yesterday ut the
Yildiz Kiosk. IL Is reported that Ed.
hem Pasha has asked for 40, 600 rein.
forcements, and that orders have been
sent to Salonica TO hasten the dispatch
Of the reserves TO the frontier. The
mobilization OF forty additional bat
talions has been decided upon and the
enrolment of volunteers Is being con.
sidered.
The sturdy resistance offered by the
Greeks was wholly unexpected, and
the idea that the forces of Edhem
Pasha would have n military prone.
made to Larissa has already been aban.
doncd.
kilograms received by the Porte
from the far western provinces show
that the Albanian irregulars are de-
vastating the country in many local.
tiles. The local authorities are pow.
erless to restrain them.
An imperial trade has been issued
ordering the Turkish feet to avoid q
battle at sea and remain under the
protection of the Notifications.
