-Rout of the Greeks at Pentepixsdia-
Latest War News.
London. May 4.-The chief points of
interest in the situation in Greece are:
First, that the decision of the ministers.
who have returned from the Greek from
tier, seems IS be in favor of a continu-
ance of the war; and second, that fight
ing continued almost necessarily at Vel
estino from last Tuesday until Sunday.
with the result that General Smolenski
has been prevented from actually as
Stunning his new duties as chief Of staff.
As further result the Greeks at Veles-
tho have managed to retain their posi-
lions. but they are too much fatigued
to follow up their success. Altogether
fourteen officers have been recalled from
Crete to be sent on to Thessaly, and this
also is a rsoof Of the intention Of the
Few 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 dis
played to evacuate Crete.
Points to Retreat of the Greeks.
The Turkish army is advancing In
three columns on Pharsalos, while an
additional column is operating in the d.
rection of Volo. AS the Volo column
could easily take Nelestino in the rear
the Greek position is very precarious
This probably explains the retention of
General Smoienski there. as 1t was nat
ural to expect him to go to Pharsalos to
assume the supreme command. Every
thing points to an inevitable retreat by
the Greeks on Domokos. The diplomatic
situation continues obscure, with a con-
slant interchange of dispa tches between
European cabinets and an incessant in
terviewing of ministers.
Princess of Wales for the Greeks.
New York. May A copyrighted dis
patch from London to The Journal says:
The report that the Princess of Wales
was using her utmost influence to bring
about English Intervention in favor of
Greece in the east Is corroborated by the
London press. The princess, accom-
panied by the prince, takes the unpre-
cedented course of asking the assistance
OF Gladstone. They have made an en-
gagement to visit the ex-premier at
Hawarden May 10.

Such an Architect Gage Wants Uncle
Sam to Employ.
Washington, May 4.-The request yes
terday for the resignation Of Supervis-
ing Architec tot the Treasury Aiken had
been anticipated for a week or more
Although no official statement in regard
to the matter has yet been made by the
secretary Of the treasury, it has been
known that Aiken's work. has not been
altogether satisfactory TO Gage, and
and hence his determination to make a
change. Aiken is Comparatively young
man and, it is alleged, has not had suf-
f1cient experience in his profession tc
justify his retention in an Office that
should be filled only by men Of the
highest standing and widest experience
as architects and builders.
Who will succeed Aiken is not known,
but it Is said that Cages idea Is to get
the best talent in the country by an ex-
animation to be conducted by a board
OF architects Of national reputation, in
which the amount Of high class work
done by the applicant would largely de-
termine his rating. The salary Of the
office is $4,000 a year. It may be stated
here that Durham, the Chicago archi-
tect, testified during the Worlds fair
that his income was $4,000 a year.

Who Protests Against the Plain Lansuase
of the South Carolinian.
Later the free homestead bill came IN
and Morgan offered an amendment CIV
ing all public lands not taken I'D by
homestead entry on Jan. 1. 1890, to the
several states and territories for edu-
cational purposes. Morgan's PROPOSE
ton aroused much opposition. Hawley
characterized it as a startling reversal
of the policy of the government, involy-
ing the complete disposal Of all public
lands with their incalculable wealth of
mines and forest. The debate was en-
livened by a sharp exchange between
Tillman of South Carolina and Morgan.
Tillman advanced down the middle aisle
until abreast of Morgan and then in his
characteristic explosive style, with in
dex finger aimed at the Alabama SEN
ator. began firing a volley Of ques-
tons on the justice of giving all the
government lands to land states, thus
depriving the other states Of federal aid
to education.
Don't you suppose" said Tillmcn,
that We have as many poor children
needing education as you have, and as
matter of decency do you propose to
gobbie up all these lands?'
L am not a gobbler." returned Nor
gan, $50 that the rules applying to COB
blers do not apply to me-" Tillman in
sisted that the Morgan proposition
meant that one class Of states was to
gobble up all the lands. He added that
his state already had done much for
Morgans state. peopling it and redeem
ing il from the Indians.
If So" replied Morgan, with q touch
OF sarcasm, Il am willing to vote to re-
turn to South Carolina all the people
she ever gave to Alabama"
Il have never heard it insinuated they
were not respectable people," said TILL
man.
Respectable and poor" observed
Morgan.
Yes. poor. God knows" continued
Tillman. And because we are poor we
protest against your stealing what they
have left"
Fer the first time Morgan showed

F1GHTING SHIPS ON THE LAKES.
Smith Of Michigan Finding Flaws in the
Treaty Of 1917,


Washington, May 4-By request of
the president Representative Smith, of
Michigan, called at the White House
yesterday to discuss the proposed abro-
cation Of the diplomatic understanding
of 1917, which at present prevents lake
shipbuilders from bidding on the con-
struction of warships. The president
evidently takes a lively interest in the
matter. Representative Smith, through.
the exhaustive reasearch he made into
the history of the alleged treaty" was
undoubtedly able to give President Nc
Kinley thorough understanding Of the
case, and, it may be, converted the
president to his views regarding it.
Smith holds that the agreement was
never ratified in Great Britain, and that
in addition OF that important fact con-
gress some years ago took the necessary
action to declare the agreement" or
treaty" void. If the president takes
this view of it he may instruct Secre-
tary Sherman to act at once. If he does
so the shipyards on the great lakes may
construct all the small cruisers they can
get contracts for, and besides the naval
reserves may bring a man-of-war to
Detroit loaded to the waters edge with
cannon if they want to.

Nothing locally can be learned of
the condition of William r. Cullen,
agent for Wells-FargO Express COM
pany, at Ardmore, l. T., who shot him
self last Thursday afternoon, while his
books were being checked up. His
many San Antonio friends are anxious
about him and hope his injuries are
not so serious as reported. They be-
lieve that his accounts are straight
and that there were no domestic trou-
bles. 1t is believed that the rash deed
was caused by temporary insanity
superinduced by excessive cigarette
smoking. Mrs. N. NJ. Thompson, moth
er-in-law of Mr.. Cullen, has gone to
ArdmOre. His mother does not live
here, as reported, but in Las Vegas,
