secessionists that no man could be

Volunteer, Refuse to Take
New Oath of Allesiance

A meeting OF the volunteers who re-
fused to take the new oath OF ale
glance was held last night. 1t was oul
very thinly attended. as probably many
are rather ashamed of the fear they
evinced when called upon to swear to
defend the union.
1t Is reported that the federal
troops left IN Texas are concentrat-
ing to repel the expected attack of
Mexicans at Matamoras, who have
planted cannon trained against
Brownsville. The legislature has
passed a bill dividing the state into
six congressional districts, as well az
bill authorizing the issue of state
bonds to the amount of S1,eoo,0o0 TO
be secured by a special tax.
A New Mexican correspondent has
sent word that the citizens Of Ari-
zona, in convention at Mesilla, have
voted themselves out OF the union.
General c. ]. Jones, formerly Of Mis-
sissippi,' will represent Arizona In the
congress Of the Confederate States.
Orders have been telegraphed to

and he clasped 1t to his bosom.

Fort Sumter Fired Upon
At 40 This Morning

A Charleston dispatch says that Gen.
erai Beauregard opened fire on Fort
Sumter at 4.30 a. m.
A second dispatch says: Firing
has almost ceased on both sides since
dark Our confederate forts have all
been heard from, and not a man has
been killed or wounded. 1t is reported
that the Baltic, Illinois, Pawnee. Har-
riet Lane and another steamer, name
unknown, are off the bar. They may
attempt to land troops tonight. II rot,
tomorrow. A decisive conflict is ex-
pected. They will meet with a warm
reception. The soldiers of the southern
army worked their guns admirably.
Troops are arriving on every train. 1t
is supposed that Major Anderson is
resting his men for the night. The
damage inside Fort Sumter is not
known. Edmund Ruffin pointed and
fired the first gun for the confederates
that Port Pickens was attacked this
morning, simultaneously with the at
tack on Fort Sumter, though of that
nothing definitely is known"
Another dispatch says: In answer
to General Beauregard's demand to
Major Anderson respecting the evac-
uatIon of Fort Sumter. the latter re-
piled that he would surrender when his
supplies were exhausted, II he was not
reinforced.
"Of the nineteen batteries IN pos
session of the confederate army, only
seven of them have opened on Fort
Sumter. The remainder are held in re-

GREEK BISHOP WANTS
TAFT To AID CRETE

Washington, Feb. Tt is the duty
of the President, not only because of
the request of the thousands of Greeks
in this country who have appealed to
him, but also from the standpoint of a
Christian, to take some action on the
plight of the Christian inhabitants of
the Island Of Crete" was the asser-
tion made by Bishop s. 9, Ortynsky,
head of the Greek Catholic Church in
this city, concerning the appeal sent to
President Taft by the delegates to the
Pan Hellenic Union held in New York
last week.
The resolutions asking President
Taft and Congress to oppose any effort
to subject the Cretans to Turkish SOW
ereignty, and asking that the President
remind the Powers that the interests
of peace demand that Crete be incor-
porated with the Kingdom of Greece
were indorsed by the delegates.
