Chief Points of Interest.

London, May 3.-The chief points Of
interest in the situation TO-DAY are:
First, that the decision of the ministers
who have returned from the Greek
frontier seems to be in favor of a con-
tinuance of the war, and second, that
fighting continued almost necessarily
at Valestin from last Thursday until
Sunday, With the result that General
Smolenslxi has been prevented from act
Ially assuming his new duties as chief
of staff. As a further result, the Greeks
at NeleStino have managed to retain
their positions, but they are too much
fatigued TO follow up their success
Altogether II officers have been re-
called from Crete to be sent on to TheS-
sally, and this also is a proof of the in
tention of the new cabinet TO continue
the war. The movement is actuated
by necessity. ALL the best officers are
being sent to the front, nor is there
any intention yet displayed TO evacuate
Crete.
The Turkish army is advancing in
three columns on PharSaloS, while an
additional column is operating in the
direction of Volo. AS the Volo column
could easily take Velestino in the rear,
the Greek position is very precarious.
This probably explains the retention
of Genera! Smo1enski there, as ii was
natural to expect him to go to PhaT-
sa.los to assume the supreme command
Everything points to an inevitable re
treat by the Greeks on Domokos.
The Diplomatic situation continues
obscure, with a constant interchange Of
dispatches between European cabinets
and incessant interviewing of minis

which is preparing the tariff bill for
the senate. had a conference today
with the Democratic members of the
finance committee and arranged pro-
cramme for getting the bill 10 the cen
ate. According TO the agreement the
bill Will be reported in the full COM
nlittee tomorrow if the Republicans
find they desire to hold ii no longer,
and will then be passed on as soon as
the Republicans make it manifest that
they have the majority favorable to
its being reported Allison renewed the
effort to secure consent to having the
hill reported after tomorrowS meeting
without conditions, but the Democrats
would only agree not TO insist upon
holding the bill in committee for p de-
tailed inspection after the Republicans
had shown that they had a clear ma
iority in the committee favorable to
the bill Allison accepted these terms
This arrangement will throw the re-
time the bill shall be held upon Senator
Jones of Nevada, who holds the bal
ance of power. The indications are
that ne will not lend himself to any
prolonged consideration of the bill in
committee He practically has said as
much to his friends The Democrats
expect the bill will be held in commit
tee two or three days After il is re-
perted the bill will lie on the table ten
days or two weeks.

THE WESTERN ROADS.
Payment of Excess Commissions
Ceased Yesterday.

Chicago, May 3.-The executive COM
mittee of the Western Passenger asso-
citation met today to complete its re-
port on rules and arrangements for
the convention of the Society of Chris
ton Endeavor. The general meeting
Of the association viii be held tomor
row and the report of the executive
committee will be submitted. 1t is not
likely that any material change will
be made that has not already been
published. The day was spent in con-
sideration Of rules and arrangements
for excursion business during the COM
ing summer.
Payment of all excess commissions
by the western roads ceased today.
This was the date set by the roads
for the restoration of the old commits
sion schedule which was in effect one
year ago. Because of the efforts of
the Southern Pacific to route all busi-
ness by its sunset route, commissions
during the last year had grown TO be
about four times as large as they
should have been, and in fact reached
such proportions that it was almost
impossible for the roads to get much
profit out of the business they had
been doing. The cut in the rate in
commissions will be a large amount Of
revenue saved annually to the road,
and very positive orders have been
sent to all agents of the roads, in
structing them to see that the rule is
rigidly observed, and that after today
no large commissions are paid.

viii Return Their Swords.

London, May 3.-The Times will print
the following tomorrow from Velestino:
1t is rumored that many officers have
told Crown Prince Constantine that
they will return their swords unless
they are led against he Turks. There
is a strong feeling at Pharsalos that
the troops must advance. The despair
over the mistakes of the campaign has
been obliterated by desire to regain
the esteem of Europe. Only 1000 SOL
diers are actually posted at Pharsalos-
The remainder are distributed in we'll
chosen positions. Discipline is i'm
proving, though organization is still
somewhat defective. The villagers
throughout Thessaly have practically
deserted the Greeks.

ent that a short time ago several regi-
ments of field artillery were provided
