Dingley Bill Objectionable to
Our Sister Republic on
the South.
Tariff on Cattle Is Prohibitive,
Therefore They Will Do
Likewise.
American Hogs and Packing
House Products Will
Be Taxed.

CHICAGO, April 12.-The Times Her
AIDS Washington special says: The
trainers of the Dingley bill are much
interested in semH official report from
the City of Mexico to the effect that a
retaliatory tariff bill is to be intro
duced in the Mexican congress this
week.
1t is stated that in view of the prac-
tically prohibitive duty on Mexican
cattle. provided by the Dingley bill,
the Mexicans will place a prohibitive
duty ON American hogs and packing
house products, which comprise one of
the most important articles of export to
Mexico.
Last year 1850 hogs, valued at
$205, ,S07, were sent from the United
States to Mexico, and this number COM
prised almost all of our live hog expor-
tations. Our expectations of lard to
Mexico are also large, having amounted
last year to 3, 440, 155 pounds, valued at
$209,727 The other articles which the
Mexicans propose to tax to prohib-
itory point, are canned beef, picked
and salted beef, cured beef, tallow, ba-
con, hams. picked pork, mutton, imi-
tation butter, olive oil, poultry and
game and other provisions.

DEATH OF VOORHEES,.
The Noted Indiana Senator Passes Away
at His Washington Residence.


WASHINGTON, April II. Daniel VOL
sey Voorhees,, ex- United States senator
from the state of Indiana, died at D
o'clock a. m, at his home in this city,
lO5 Maryland avenue northeast.
The senator had been in poor health
for several years, and for at least two
years past had taken little part i'll the
proceedings in the senate. he had
been constant sufferer from rheuma-
tism of the heart, and his friends
therefore had come to expect that they
might hear of his death suddenly. The
last reports of him, however, were
that he was showing some improve
ment, and his death, therefore, while
not entirely unexpected, came with
the suddenness of shock.
At the time of his retirement from
the senate, the Tall Sycamore OF the
Wabash, as he was affectionately called
by his devoted followers i'll the Hoosler
state, was the ranking Democrat on the
finance committee and by virtue OF his
position the nominal leader at least OF
his party on the floor of the senate on
tariff and financial questions. He was
not very active, however, owing to his
i'll health, in the work on the Wilson
tariff bill, most of the numerous senate
amendments to this bill and its final
passage of stormy career, IN which II
was in serious danger several times,
being due to Senator Jones Of Arkansas.

News of the Invasion of Tur-
key Received With Enthu-
SiaSm at Athens.
Believe 1t a Successful Begin
ming, Guaranteeing Vic
tory in Future.
Incident Regarded at Constan-
tinople as the Commence
ment of War.

LONDON. April 2--The Times corre-
spondent at Athens says: The news
OF the incursion into Turkish territory
has been received here with great
jubilation. The general belief is that
nothing can now restrain the army
which is bound to follow across the
frontier in a few days.
The Athens newspapers reflect the
popular enthusiasm and contain highly
optimistic forecasts of the progress of
the band in Macedonia, where its
presence is expected to exert magical
influence on the Christian population
and to be a signal for general upris-
ing. The former exploits of the famous
insurgent leaders accompanying the
expedition afford, it is believed, guar
antee of splendid success in the future.
The Die Is NowA,ast.
One newspaper says that the die is
now cast, that successful beginning
has been made, that it is all over with
diplomatic negotiations and iden-
tical notes or blockades, and that the
eloquent voice of the rifle has spoken
at last. A telegram from Arta says
that Greek bands are crossing the from
tier at various points, and that war
seems inevitable.
The correspondent of The Daily
News at Larissa says: AS an alleged
indication of the connivance of the
Greek government last Friday, 1T is
pointed out that orders were sent to
all telegraph stations in the country on
the day the band started to refuse to
accept messages in cipher, while open
kilograms announcing the fact of the
raid were not accepted.

GRECIAN INVADERS.
Now Said Fully Three thousand Crossed
the Turkish Frontier.


ATHENS, April l2.-Accounts are
very conflicting as to what really hap
pened last Friday when the frontier
was crossed by the insurgents. A spe.
cial correspondent of the Associated
Press went to Larissa and ascertained
that the invaders numbered upward Of
5000, among them the Italian volun.
teers. The entire force was under
the command of three ex.officers of the
Greek army and four Macedonian
chiefs. The rendezvous was at Kohis-
kos, village near Kalabanka. The
men were all fully armed and wore the
national costume.
On Friday monk from Mt. Athos,
assisted by the abbot and his two dea-
cons, held a religious service at Konis-
kos at which all members of the invad-
ing body partook of the sacrament and
registered the oath of the order, Lib
erty or death.
During Friday night following the
frontier was crossed, the force moving
in the direction of Schulk.

LOUISVILLE, April ~. "A special to
the Evening Post from Frankfort says ::
Indictments charg ing bribery and con-
spiracy to bribe have been prepared by
the Franklin county grand jury against
three of the most prominent Republi-
cans in the state, and before the day is
passed true bills will be returned

publican nominee for the senate Con-
gresham John H. Wilson of the Sew

politicians of the Third district
The indictments were prepared
upon the testimony of Cantail Noel
Gaines, Captain Thomas Nnner, his
brother.in.law, and Fred Gordon, all
of this city. The charges are indig-
nantly denied by DR.. Hunter, Mr.. Will
son and Mr. Franks, all of whom say
they will prosecute for criminal libel
| all who have testified to the above facts
before the grand jury. They all claim

tainty in view of the fact that he lacked
one vote at the last ballot.

SENATORIAL COMBINE.
Democrats, Silver Republicans and Pop

WASHINGTON, April 12.-The final
agreement between Democrats, Silver
Republicans and Populists i'll the sem
ate looking to coalition was reached
at a meeting of representatives of
those parties held in Senator Gorman's
committee room at the capitol. The
agreement had its origin i'll the effort
to reorganize the senate committees,
but it is destined apparently to reach
far beyond this situation, and i'll fact to
the future proceedings of the senate on
all matters, if not to the extent Of
shaping party policies throughout the
country. There were present at the
meeting:
Senators German, Cockrell, Walthall,
Jones of Arkansas and Murphy, Demo-
Gratis; Senators Cannon and Mantle,
silver Republicans, and Senators Allen
and Pettigrew, Populists.

NEW YORK, April l2.-The Press
prints the following from its special
correspondent at Larissa:
l had a personal interview with
Crown Prince Constantine during the
afternoon. The prince talked freely of
the situation now confronting the peo-
pie. He said:
II am fully prepared to make war
when it becomes necessary. My troops
are in excellent condition, and the war.
like spirit prevails i'll the soul of every
man under arms. If the Turkish army

frontier and attack us, should act

"The incuraion into Turkish terri
tory by several rebel bands of armed
Greeks was wholly unauthorized by
me and absolutely against my policy
and my instructions from the king
Their attack upon the Moslems will by
no means be used as an excuse to begin
war, and l shall do my utmost to pre-
vent repetition of such a violation
of the neutrality laws. The Turkish
position captured by these rebels will
not be occupied by the Greek army,
nor will we aid the invaders in any
