The frequency with which the World has advocated national bankruptcy legislation makes it the more ready to emphasize all that Senator Knute Nel son says in objecting to clauses in the Torrey bill which might be used to re vive imprisonment for debt. If, as has been said, these clauses can be giveu the force of the old Scotch law of the time of Queen Anne, under which a debtor could be arrested and held on a mere prima facie affidavit from an in terested party churning intention to escape, or if they can be construed to warrant any form of imprisonment for debt whatever, they should be stricken out at once. The government of the United States ought to lead the progress of tke world. It could not authorize any form of im prisonment for debt without facipg back towards the dark ages. N. Y. World. The money stolen from the state treas ury might be said to have joined the ill visible supply of gold were it not for the fact that the invisible supply of gold sometimes materializes and becomes vis ible, whereas the chances of the stolen money ever becoming visible are ex ceedingly slim.

Jackson, Miss., April 23. A dis patch from Greenville says the levee on Promise Land plantation, at Ship- land, Issaquena county, broke this morning. It was eighteen feet high and backwater was already against it It is estimated that 15,000 people are in need in the flooded region of North Louisiana, and Vicksburg is crowded with refugees who . are very quiet The river is f alii ig as far as Vicksburg, but branch streams are at flood height and the worst is by no means over. At Bayou Videl, in the lower portion of Madison parish, the water from the Biggs crevasse caught the people un prepared and unaware of danger. Word was sent out from that locality requesting that boats be sent there at once, as the people were drowning. How many were actually drowned is unknown, but Thomas Blackman, his wife and infant are known to have perished. " ' New Orleans, La., April ?2. The river began to fall here yesterday and it is believed that the crest of the flood wave came on a fair duy, found the people prepared and passed on. Plant ers, farmers, laborers and merchants have abandoned everything else and are camping on the weak spots, watch ing closely, and holding them against a weight of a mass of water which is al most inconceivable. Moro material is going out now than ever before and miles of new work of box levees, of piles of filled sacks and earth have sprung up in every section. Railroads are carrying men and materials free and no money bus been, spared by the levee board or the people. Still all the new work is only calculated to prevent the flood from crossing the levee line and when the water falls nearly the entire systoiu will need substantial repair, if not rebuilding. MORE THAN HOLD THEIR OWN WITH THE TURKS. CHANCES ABOUT EVEN. fhe Snltan'i Gorernroent Acknowledge Baring Encountered Unexpected Re aiatanee Grecian Succeaaea at Several Point Undoubted No Walkaway for Turkey Latest War News. London. April 22. To-day there was the same conflict of reports from the seat of the Greco-Turkish war as on previous days, but Greek prospect ap pear considerably brighter, the Turk ish government, usually chary of con ceding anything, acknowledging to day that the Turks had met desperate resistance at all points. Taking a gen eral survey of the field, the fortunes of war thus far seem pretty evenly di vided, but the chances for the imme diate future are decidedly in favor of the Greeks. The Turks claim to have carried Tyrnavo by storm yesterday and to be within ten miles of Larissa, but this is contradicted by the Greeks. The Grecian warships are preparing to at tack balonica, the base of supplies of the Turkish armies, and great alarm prevails there. J. he pass at Reveni, a few miles northwest of Tyrnavo, where there are about 40,000 Turks under the personal direction of Edhem Pasha, has been the scene of the fiercest fighting of the war. This army of Moslems, singine and chanting war son?, reaches from Reveal to Boughese, and for the past three days have unremittently en deavored to obtain a free rood to the Thessalian plains. Twenty thousand (Greeks, under the direction of Prince Constantine, have steadily fought and Struggled to keep back the Mohamme dan stream, and have thus far suc ceeded. Undoubted Greek Successes. On the Gulf of Arta the Greeks are having things pretty much their own way. The Turks at Arta attempted to cross the river despite the fire of the Greek artillery. This was magnificently handled, however, and the Moslems were mowed down by the score, the river being literally filled with the sultan's soldiers. Then the Turks retreated. Colonel Manos, in his invasion of this part of Epirus, has been very successful. He has occupied several villiages with slight resistance and has hastily fortified them. There is hardly any serious obstacle to his advance northward into Albaaia and toward Jamina, where a great battle may be fought After retreating the Turks attempted to bombard Arta, using nearly one hundred pieces of artillery in the operation. But It failed, their marksmanship being bad and the range too great Greek Force la Kpiru. A dispatch from Arta says that 3,000 Greeks have crossed the frontier of Epiros at Bani, and a severe artillery duel has been in progress since Mon day. The Greek artillery have silenced the Turkish Imauret fort, commanding the town. Two attempts by the Turks to cross the river were repulsed. There has been brisk artillery and in fantry firinir a loner the line for about fivo miles. Two Greek officers and many Turks have been killed. The Greek government has addressed a note to the foreign ministers and consuls in Greece, calling their atten tion to the fact that Greece has ad hered to the declarations of tha Berlin congress of 18! 0 and expressing' the hope that foreign governments will re 6pect the laws of neutrality.

Turkey Acknowledge Surprise at Greek Iteslstance. Constantinople, April 23. The Turkish authorities here admit that the losses of the Ottoman troops since the outbreak of the war with Greece have been considerable. The Turkish commanders expected a fairly easy march to Larrissa, and did not antici pate the stubborn defense and desper ate valor with which the Greeks have opposed the invasion. liot liey, the confidential adviser of the sultan, has been diHgraeed, owing to his opposition to war with Greece and to his action in proHlng that the aultan should negotiate directly with Greece for the purpose of bringing aliout an amicable aettlement.

Prince Mavrocordato, the Greek min ister to Turkey, has sailed for Athens. All the ambassadors except the Ger man ambassador went to the quay and bid him farewell London, April 22. The latest details as to the fighting at Milouna pass make it evident that the Greeks suf fered severely because of their lack of artillery. Several of the war cor respondents aver that if the Greeks had possessed anything like adequate artillery the Turks would never have captured positions so obstinately held by the Greeks. The Turks have clearly much to be thankful for in the reor ganization of their artillery by Ger man officers. A dispatch received from Constanti nople at the Turkish legation last evening declared that the village of Erlechora, in Greek territory, had been occupied by the Turks and that the Turkish division commanded by Nechat Pasha, operating against Tyr navo and Larissa, had carried all the positions commanding the plain of La rissa. At Kriechora and Badji the Turks captured many prisoners and quantities of arms and ammunition. The Greeks who were defeated in the Milouna pass are reported to have fled in a westerly direction and also to ward Larissa. MANY MINES AT SALONICA. Extreme Precautions Taken to Check the Expected Greek Warship Attack. London, April 22. A special dis patch from Salonica announces that the port officials there are vigilantly looking out for the Greek fleet, having been informed that the war vessels of Greece have been ordered to make an attempt to seize the city, which is the base of Turkish supplies for the army operating against the Greeks. The military authorities of Salonica have laid 150 torpedo mines in the bay, and further steps have been taken to pro tect the narrow entrance of the har bor between Cape Kara and the main land of Macedonia, Lookouts have been stationed on all the headlands and points of vantage overlooking the bay with instructions to immedi ately report the appearance of the Greek fleet, which is expected to make a demonstration against the place very shortly. The harbor has been thoroughly mined and a num ber of torpedo boats have been sta tioned In well selected places The entrance of the harbor, from Cape Kara to the mainland of Macedonia, ia strung with torpedoes, and large quantities of ammunition have been sent to all the batteries. INNOCENCE HANGED. George Jone Give HI Life for a, Mur der Never Committed. Wichita, Kan., April 22. About three years ago Jesse and Charles ilibden, cousins, and a cook named George Jones, left their homes in Pauls Valley, L T. , and went to Ar kansas to buy cattle. They never returned and foul play has always been suspected. When no sign of them could be had Jones was arrested, tried and convicted of the double murder, and was hanged a year ago Greatly to the surprise of every one, Jesse Hibden, one of the supposed dead, has just been located in a terri torial prison, where he is held for sell ing whisky to Indians.
