REVIEW OF TRADE.
Dnn Comments on tbe Business for the
Month of AprlL
Nkw York, May 10.—R. O. Dun &
Co. 's Weekly Review of Trade says:
“Nearly all will be astonished to
learn the actual sales in April by lead
ing1 houses in each line of business in
the principal cities east of the Rocky
mountains average only about 10 per
cent less than in April, 1892, the
year of the largest business hith
erto, and were 6.1 per cent more
than in the same month last
year. Yet this is the summary of
357 reports, each covering actual
sales of leading merchants in a line of
business in one of the fourteen cities.
They are especially encouraging in
view of the great fall of prices within
the five years, and with exceptional
floods and other retarding influences
this year. While speculative business
in nearly all lines is small, and does
not swell clearing house returns, as in
previous years, the volume of legiti
mate trade shows no corresponding
decrease and the fact is one of the
highest importance in all business cal
culations. Moreover, returns of fail
ures for April by branches of busi
ness given only by the mercantile
agency, show decrease in number,
amount and average of liabilities in
almost every brunch of trade and in
nearly all branches of manufacture
except cotton, although failures of five
New Hedford mills for $7,990,734 make
the total defaulted liabilities for the
month -10 per cent larger than last
year, no per cent larger than in 1895
and 33 per cent larger than IS9t. The
value of reports tracing failures to
particular lines of business is impres
sively illustrated.

The Foreign War Situation.
London, May 8.—The retreat of the
Greek army from Pharsala and Veles
tino because the commanders were re
luctantly forced to recognize the fact
that the Turkish forces, far superior
to theirs in numbers and equipment,
and at least their equals in bravery,
were dangerously near to breaking
the Greek line of defense, has almost
broken the spirit of the Greeks. For
this reason there is every reason to
day to believe that Greece will accept
the offer of mediation made by the
representatives of the great powers
and, as the Turkish government had
declared in favor of mediation, there
is good ground for the belief that
Wednesday’s battles will be the last
ones of the present war.
Turkey, though ready to accept the
intervention of the powers, does not
propose to be caught napping, and has
ordered the holding of eleven regi
ments of the famous Hamidiet cavalry
for readiness for service in Thessaly.
A battalion of rcdifs has also been
sent to the island of Mitylene to repel
a possible Greek landing and the cav
alry and Kharl Pasha's division of foot
soldiers of Kdliem Pasha's army have
begun an advance in the direction of
Domokos, the present Greek head
quarters
GENERAL SMOLENSKI SAFE.
Atiiens, May 8.—A dispatch from
Almyros announces that General Smo
lenski’s brigade arrived there this
morning after having effected a re
treat from Velestino in good order.
There had been much fear for his
safety, and the government' had or
dered the squadron to send torpedo
boats to search for him.
A panic prevails at Lamia, on the
Gulf of Lamia, which is the base of
supplies for the Greek forces at Domo
kos. Many of the inhabitants are flee
ing1 from the place, fearing it will be
attacked by the Turks. Three vessels
brought refugees from Lamia to the
Piraeus yesterdav evening.
Constantinople, May 7.—A dispatch
received here describing Wednesday’s
battle before Pharsala says: “The
Turkish van, after sharp fighting, cap
tured all the positions in front of
Pharsala, and thus gained favorable
sites for new Krupp twelve-centimeter
howitzers, which we.j stationed at
Tatari. They threw shells with un
erring aim right into the heart of the
town. Some fell near the railway
station, which was wrecked; others
caused fearful damage iu the stree ts
and to dwellings, which, it was under
stood, the inhabitants had previously
abandoned. The Greeks suffered
heavy loss. As evening came on it be
came clear that their position was vir
tually untenable.”
GREEKS PANIC STRICKEN.
r Berlin, May 8 —Grumbkoff Pasha,
the German officer who reorganized
the Turkish artillery, and who en
tered Larissa at the head of the Turk
ish troops, dwells upon the splendid
conduct of the Turks and says the
capture of Larissa did not cost
them a single man. The works
constructed by the Greek en
gineers of Larissa were deserving
of high praise, and he fails to under
stand why they were abandoned. The
Turkish army in the field, he further
remarks, is one of the finest Turkey
ever possessed and no praise is too
great for both soldiers and officers. In
regard to the Greeks, he asserts that
both officers and men were seized with
panic and that great numbers of
Greeks, in the face of the enemy,
stripped themselves of their uniforms,
donned civilian clothing andbeseeched
the Turks to spare their lives. The
Turks treated all their prisoners and
wounded with the greatest care.
MUST HAVE REST.

Olllce Seeker*.
Washington, May S.—Mark TIanna.
Republican national cliainnan and
junior senator from Ohio, has at last
broken down under the strain of the
office-seekers. While at the office of
the national committee Wednesday he
was seized with vertigo, which pros
trated him for a short time. Then, in
spite of the protests of friends and
physicians, he was driven to the Sen
ate chamber'to cast his vote for the
arbitration treaty. When this duty
was accomplished he returned to the
hotel. lie was obliged to keep to his
room until late in the afternoon, but
announced to his close friends that he
had determined to go back to Cleve
land to-day or to-morrow to take a
needed rest for a week or so.
The prostration which came here is
not a serious one in any sense, but is
the direct result of overwork. His*
physicians have warned him that he
cannot continue to hold receptions for
all officcseekers in the United States,
lie will return in plenty of time to
participate in the long tariff struggle

ARBITRATION VOTE.
England's Recent Policy Responsible
for the Defeat of the Treaty.
■Washington, May 7.—Following Is
the vote in detail on the rejection of
the arbitration treaty:
Yeas—Allison, Bacon, Burrows, Caf
ferv, Clay, Cullom, Davis, Deboe, Fair
banks, Faulkner, Foraker, Frye, Gal
linger, Gear, Gray, Hale, Hanna, Haw
ley, Hoar, Lindsay, Lodge, McBride,
McEnery, McMillin, Mitchell, Morrill,
Nelson, Pasco, Perkins, Platt, of Con
necticut; Platt of New York; Pritch
ard, Proctor, Smith, Spooner, Thurs

Wellington, .Wetmore, Wilson—to
tal, «3.
Nays—Baker, Bate, Butler, Carter,

field: Jones, of Arkansas; Jones, of
Nevada; Kyle, Martin, Mason, Mills,
Morgan, Penrose, Pettigrew, Pettus,
Quay, Rawlins, Roach, Shoup, Stewart,
White—total, 28.
The vote was preceded by a short,
spirited debate, introduced by Senator
Mills of Texas, who made a strong ap
peal to the Senate against ratifying
the agreement. He asserted that as
amended the document was most ob
jectionable, not to say contradictory
in terms. He pointed out especially
the provisions for the settlement of
controversies in regard to territorial
claims and asserted that whereas the
amendment adopted by the Senate to
the first article of the treaty declared
against their inclusion, the sixth and
eighth articles made provision for
them. He held that as long as those
articles remained unchanged England
justly could claim that questions of
territorial rights were still included
within the scope of the treaty. Under
such circumstances, he asked, what
was to prevent England from purchas
ing the island of Cuba or any other
American territory, and in case of ob
jection on the part of the United
States insisting upon the reference of
the dispute to arbitration? He spoke
of the conduct of England in connec
tion with the Graeco-Turkish war and
implored the senate to protect the
United States against the proposed al
liance.
The speech made a visible impres
sion and the opinion was general that
the treaty should be so amended as to
remedy the inconsistency explained.
Senator Tillman asked that time be
given for such amendment. Owinr,
however, to the fact that the Senate
was under agreement to vote at 4
o'clock, there could be no postpone
ment, except by unanimous consent.
Senator Carter, wno from the first
has been one of the most active and
effective opponents of the treaty, in
terposed objection. He made a very
pungent speech in opposition.
The remainder of the debate was of
a running character. Senators White
and Pettigrew interjected questions
tending to show continued opposition.
Senator White remarked that the
document was full of illogical proposi
tions, and said furthermore that its
syntax would have to be improved be
fore it would be thoroughly accent
able.
Senator Davis, chairman of the com
mittee on foreign relations, declined
to express an opinion for publication,
nut talked freely with his friends. To
them he attributed the defeat to the
feeling of dissatisfaction at Kngland’s
coarse in the struggle of the Greek to
liberate the island of Crete from Otto
man dominion and the Armenian mas
sacres. and with the “evident” de
signs of Great Britain upon the Trans
vaal.
Among those who waited in the Sen
ate corridors to receive the news was
Mr. Michael Davitt, who appeared
much pleased at the result.
