Fifty thousand men, counting both
sides, fought desperately thirty hours,
without food or sleep, on the Greek
frontier, and each side claimed to have
secured an advantage. The report from
headquarters at Larissa was that the
Greeks had occupied the Turkish posi-
tons from Nezeros to Koutra, a dis
lance of fifty miles. The Turks sank a
Greek steamer in the gulf Of Aria,
whereupon a Greek squadron silenced
the shore batteries and captured the
citadel Of Prevesa.

He met with wonderful success. He

The first year an acre will yield

Miss Clarrage and her brother Edward

Miss Clarrage grabbed d whip from a

New York, April 25.-S0mewhere IL
the writings of James Russell Lowell
is found the statement that however
much the world may boast of its pro-
gress toward universal peace, the cold
fact remains that a great warrior Is
still the idol OF people and his tomb
the center of the greatest popular wor-
ship. This view will receive strong
support at the dedication of the mon
ument to General I. s. Grant on River
side drive, this city, Tuesday, when the
greatest military and naval display this
country has ever seen in time OF
peace will unroll itself before the eyes
Of a multitude that will blacken the
majestic shore of the Hudson.
The Grant monument is 165 feet in
height. 1t impresses the eye because of

more in civic bodies of all kinds will
swell the total to at least $4,000 men
who will pass in review. About 1900
regular troops, including half dozen
batteries of artillery.
The exercises at the tomb, between
II and II, will be simple. Bishop New
man, General Grant former pastor,
will make the opening prayer and then
General Porter will turn the monument
over to the city. Mayor Strong will
receive it. President Mckinley will
deliver an address. Archbishop Cor
rigan OF the Roman Catholic church,
will pronounce the benediction. A
choir of 1000 singers and 100 select
voices will furnish the music. Great
stands built around the monument will
accommodate the crowds.
Besides the presidential party, Wash
ington will send Vice President Hobart,
all the members of the cabinet, and all
the foreign ministers resident at the
capital. Senators and representatives
will be present by the score and smaller
political lights and public characters
will be lost in the crowd of notables.
The Grant family will be represented
by at least 81 members, including Mrs.
Julia D. Grant, widow of the late gen
eral.
The naval parade will be an important
feature. Great Britain will have two
war ships in line and Italy, Spain,
Mexico Germany and France, one
each. Many American ships will take
part. In the evening the fleet will be
illuminated. All the boats will pass up
the river and fire salutes in front of
the tomb. After reviewing the land
forces the president will review the
fleet.
