TENNESSEE CENTENNIAL
Everything in Readiness for the Opening
 of the Exposition at Nashville.


 Nashville, Tenn, April 3O.-In spite of constant rain for a week, delaying and retarding work in every depart ment, order has been made to take the place on confusion and the centennial city practically complete with exhibits in every building is ready to throw open it's gates tomorrow morning. Visitors have been coming all day and tonight and the trains from all directions brought in more. Hon. Adlai E. Stew enson and party, Governor Leon " Stevens and Mrs. Stevens of Missouri have already come and will participate in the simple opening ceremonies. Though some of the buildings, includ- ing the government building, and some of the special state buildings will not be fully completed for some days, every building to contain exhibits is ready for occupation and contains exhibits.
 Eleven large and commanding struc- lures have been busy scenes night and day this week, while exhibits were put in place and finishing touches given. These are the auditorium, Parthenon, which is the art gallery, commerce, women's architectural, machinery, min- erals and forestry, transportation, chil- dren's historical, government, negro and railway. The road and walks, shrub bery and grass are in excellent condi- tion, but the indictment weather has prevented the removal of the flowers and plants from the greenhouses. The Cincinnati, Knoxville and other city buildings are ready and some of the state buildings, while others are just under way.

They Repulse the Turks Who Suffered
 Enormous Losses.

~"CPhASp
 Enormous Losses.
 London, April 30.-The Daily Chroni- cle's correspondent at Pharsalos, tele- graphing tonight, says:
 "The Turks attacked Velestino June tion, Tuesday night, with four squad rons of cavalry and battery of horse artillery. The large force of Greeks there easily beat the Turks off, but not before they had displaced half dozen rails and cut the telegraph wires. On Wednesday the train service was sus- pended.
 Fighting was renewed Wednesday night, but without special results. On Thursday the Turks assembled in great force in the direction of Veles- tino and as it was suspected that they were also between this point and Trik- kala a general attack was believed to be imminent. Fighting, however. oc- cured only in the vicinity of Veles- tino
 '"The Turks made an attack before dawn, but were successfully repulsed. Three times in the course of the morn ing was the attack repeated each time from a different direction, and each time the result was repulse. Appar- ently, it was intended that these at tacks should be simultaneous, but this plan failed owing to the lack of proper organization. The Turks, however, pushed the attack with the utmost de- termination for six hours and only abandoned the attempt to seize the junction about noon.
 "The Greeks behaved we'll, the Third brigade and artillery particularly dis tinguishing themselves under General Smolenski. The Turkish losses were heavy, the Greeks much lighter. Col onel Jannicosta, with the Eighth regi- ment pursued the Turks several miles" "

TARIFF IN THE SENATE.
Republican ub-Committee Placing Fin

Republican Sub-Comm ittee Placing Fin-
 ishing Touches to the Measure.
 Washington, April 30.-Senator Ali son and Aldrich spent in day in plac- ing the finishing touches to the tariff bill. They were the only members of the sub committee In the city. The bill has been completed in all essential particulars and now only remains to be put in shape for presentation to the democrats. The sub committee is still, however, receiving suggestions from other senator's Messrs. Quay, Penrose, Foraker and Smith were among those who called to-day.
 The members of the subcommittee declined to reveal the changes agreed Indeed, senators generally are as ignor- ant of the amendments agreed upon as is the general public, and 1t is safe to say that the report when made will con- tain many surprises.
 The republican members of the com mittee are still negotiating with the democratic members to secure an un- derstanding as to the time to be con- stunned in consideration of the bill in full committee, but have not succeeded in securing any definite agreement.
 The democrats say that the length of time taken in committee will depend entirely upon the character of the amendments. It Is understood to be the purpose of the democrats to offer several amendments and force a vote on them so as to put the republicans cn record, and they count upon having the cooperation Of Senator Jones of Ne vada.

Murdered an old Man and Woman and
 Ravished Two Girls.

hdNisheu TWO
 Houston, Texas, April 30,-For the murder of an old man, child and a woman, the ravishment of two girls, the burning of the home of their Vlc- tims, two of the bodies being consumed in the flames, six young negroes were last night sent to their doom by the hands of an infuriated mob of negroes the victims also being negroes, at Sun ny Side, Walter county.
 Last fall a German from Branham was robbed of $65 Suspicion pointed to the four Thomas boys, and they con- fessed to having committed the theft, saying that they had given $50 of the money to Henry Daniels. Daniels spent the money, and on Sunday evening last the Thomas boys, according to their confession, decided to either collect their $50 or kill Daniels. They carried out the latter part of the program.
 Daniels, an old negro, lived in little hut with his stepdaughter, Maria, and a seven-year-old child. Wednesday night the house was broken open, Ma ria Daniels and the seven-year- old child were ravished and old man Dan- iels clubbed to death while trying to protect those in his charge. Then Dan- iels and his stepdaughter were thrown into the house and the child thrown into the we'll
 The house was set on fire and the
 men left thinking that they had cover ed their deed. The fire had not at tracted much attention, but when Dan ielS and his people did not show up, the charred location of the house was searched and the terrible truth discov- cred. The local officers went to work with will and were ably assisted by the best citizens of the neighborhood. BloOdhounds were secured and they were not long in finding the right track. Before night they went straight to the place where the Thomas resided and one by one were secured. Fayette Rhone, twenty-one years old; Will Gates, thirty years old; Louis Thomas twenty years old; Aaron Thomas, thir- teen years old; Jim Thomas, fourteen years old, and Benny Thomas, fifteen years old, were placed under arrest. The last four are brothers. Later on Will | Williams was captured.
 l When taken they were smeared with | blood and a bloody shirt was found hidden in Richmond's house. After the | bcys were confronted with the evidence | they owned to committing the crime and laid the killing to Louis, the oldest | All seven of the prisoners were under guard last night about 12 o'clock when | the guards were overpoWered by a | strong body of men and the prisoners
 taken toward the BraZos bottom, north 1 of here A little later forty or fifty shots were fired and all was quiet. l This morning, dangling from the | limbs of large tree were found the
 bodies of six negroes, limp and lifeless All of the bodies were there except Williams, and he is not to be found. | At late hour this evening the bodies
 are still hanging from the tree. As fa1
 as can be learned the mob was com

CANNOT IMPOSE CONDITIONS.
Engineer Punderford Says City Has Only .
 Modifying Right.

The board of compensation last even- ing heard the property owners along the line of the layout of Derby avenue as widened by the order of the court of common council J. K. Punderford, en- gineer for the Fair Haven and West vile Street Railway company, said that the receipt of the notice of the hearing before the board was a surprise to his company No similar notice had ever | been received.
 Continuing, he said that according to the law of 1893 the city could not inn pose conditions. It could only modify the plans of the railroad company. If the city insisted upon imposing condi- tions they would simply block the rall- road company and delay improvements. The street railway company did not ask for the widening of the street. The company wanted to be treated fairly. It had compiled with all the require ments of the court of common council. 1 Cars were run in a number of streets which were no wider than Derby ave- nue is at the present time.
 Linus, Solomon and Fred Mead were present They do not want to be as- sessed for the widening of the street, and think the Fair Haven and West vile company should pay the major part of the assessment, if not all of 1t.
 Henry c. White and Henry B. Sar- gent appeared in behalf of the Yale Field corporation and urged the need of | c Y, ing ball games.
 The board will visit the locality this afternoon for the purpose of determin- ing benefits and damages.

There was no opposition to the construction of the bridge. All agreed that it was needed. The question was raised as to whether the Fair Haven and Westville Street Railway company should not pay something for the use of the room.
 There are three separate corporations interested in the construction of this bridge, the city and town of New Fa- vent and the town of Orange. This being the case the committee voted to table the matter until the consolidation act, now pending in the general assem- bly,.

 "If Greek honor can be retrieved by continuing the struggle, the govern ment will prosecute the campaign with una abated energy. If the condition of the army on the other hand, would render further fighting unadvisable, the cabinet will undoubtedly refuse to bring fresh disasters upon the country by persisting in a foolhardy war. The new cabinet, like that of M. Delyannis, is prepared to demand a rectification of the frontier in accordance with the terms of the treaty of Berlin and to recall Colonel Vassos from Crete the moment the powers have gained auton- omy after the departure of the Turks.
