SENATOR HARRIS HAS AN
AMENDMENT.
REVERSES ALL POOLINGS.
Wonld GIve the Interstate Commerce
CommUsIon Greater Tower and Ks-
tnbllsh Maximum Rates Tlio
Fight Over the Foraker
1)111 I'romlfirs to lie
Lone and Bitter. ,
Washington , April 20. United
States Senator Harris of Kansas has 1
prepared an amendment to the For '
aker pooling bill which he will introduce -
duce in Congress. It provides for an
entire reversal of the plan of author •
izing pooling contracts as contemplated -
plated in the Foraker bill , and meets
with the favor of all who desire to see
that the carrier is given no unfair advantage -
. vantage over the shippers and that all
interests are equally protected.
Senator Foraker wants to give the
railroads authority to pool and then
submit their schedules of rates and
classification of goods to the interstate
commerce commission for its approval
or rejection. The plan suggested by
Senator Harris in his amendment is
much simpler and will be much more of
a curb upon extortionate pooling rates.
His amendment provides that a full
and complete schedule of the maximum
rates and charges , together with
the classification of all goods , com
modities or merchandise , which shall
be enforced , charged or used in the
business of such common carriers ,
shall be submitted to the interstate
commerce commission , and by the
commission shall be approved as just
and reasonable before such contracts
as succested in the nnnlinor "hill shnll
be authorized.
This would afford a national maxi
mum rate schedule. It would give it
also complete authority to regulate
common carriers by granting it powe-
to refuse assent to pooling contracts
where the rates were not fair and
equitable.
Senator Harris claims there can be
no valid objection to his amendment.
It simply makes as a condition precedent -
dent instead of a condition subsequent ,
the consent of the interstate commerce
commission to any pooling agreements
entered into by the railroads. If the
roads find it necessary to make these
agreements in order , to conduct their
business , the change proposed by his
amendment ought to be satisfactory.
The fight over the pooling bill is to be
long and bit'ter , whether it is entered
into now "or postponed until the regular -
lar session. For the first time since
the interstate commerce commission
was created it is in the power of Congress -
gress to include in one measure all
legislation to permit it to cope on
equal terms with the powerful railroad -
road corporations.
Jesse It. Grant's Expenses.
Washington , April 20. A story has
been in circulation here for some days
that Jesse It , the j'oungest son of
General Grant , asked the committee
of arrangements to send him money ,
becaute he was too poor to pay his ex
penses from California to New York , i
and that S150 was telegraphed him by . '
Horace Porter. It is considered very ;
strange that he should call unon the :
New York people for financial assist
ance when-his mother has an income
of SlO.OOO or S12,00'J a year , his sister
at least § 25,000 a year , and his brother
Ulysses , who lives near him in Cali
fornia , is rated as a rich man , having
married the only child of ex-Senator
Chaffee , the Colorado millionaire. It
is nevertheless true that General Porter
ter did telegraph S150 to Jesse Grant
to pay his fare from California to New
York. At the same time , it is ex
plained that the committee of arrange-
'ments ' is paying the expenses of all the
invited guests who desire them to' '
do so.
Cirnjcda Disgraced.
Havana , April 20. It is said here
that Commander Cirujeda , who com
manded the forces that killed General
Antonio Maceo , has been sent back to
Spain by Wcyler under grave charges.
Spaniards accuse him openly of being
the cause of several defeats at Punta
Brava at the hands of Castillo , the in
surgent leader , and at Santa Ana ,
where almost the entire guerrilla force
was killed. The loss was seventy
killed. The chief of the guerillas was
Mire , owing to the absence of Cirujeda
and the death of the captain. Cirujeda
was at Havana selling some cattle he
had captured. „ He was ordered to
command his forces and prevent the
landing of the expedition at Santa Ana.
He remained at Miriano and sent the
guerrillas with Miro.
War Ships to He Hold In Reserve.
Washington , April St5. The navy
flpnartment lias nnst np.rffip.terlnlnnc :
for the creation of a reserve list of war
vessels. The first vessel to be made
the nucleus of the reserve fleet will
be the Columbia. It will not be taken
out of commission , but will be laid up
"in reserve at League island as soon as
it shall return from the New York cel
ebration next week Of the crew of
400 men only seventy-seven will be re
tained. The others will go to the
Iowa.

11 o'clock last night.

THE INDIAN BILL.
The House Amends the Cncompaghre-
Reservation Provision.
Washington , April 20. The House
completed the consideration of the
Senate amendments to the Indian ap
propriation bill and scut the bill to ,
conference. The main contention cen
tered about the Senate proposition to ,
open the Uncompahgre Indian reser
vation under the mineral land laws.
Finally an amendment was recom
mended to the effect that no corpora
tion should be allowed to obtain posses
sion of these gilsonite deposits , but
that the government should lease the
lands in limited areas and for limited
terms of years. The Senate amend
ment striking from the nouse bill the
provision for the ratification of the oil
and gas leases made by the council of
the Seneca Indians last December ,
after a sharp debate , was disagreed to.
Mr. Bland of Missouri attempted
early in the session to secure action on
the resolution relative to the Union
Pacific railroad mortgages. He presented -
sented the resolution as a privileged
question , on the ground that , as-there
was no committee to which the resolution -
lution could be referred this was the
only way it could be brought before
the House. The speaker ruled that it
was not privileged , whereupon Mr.
Bland appealed , and Mr. Dingley
promptly moved to lay the appeal on
the table.
The appeal was laid on the table S7
to 7.1 twenty-two present and not
voting.
Under the resolution adopted earlier
in the day the speaker appointed the
following committee to attend the
Grant tomb dedication exercises at
New York : The Speaker , Messrs.
Low , Cummings , Payne , McClellan ,
Dingley , Bailey , Hitt , McMillin , Dal-
zell , Allen , Burton , Hartmau. Mercer ,
Walker of Virginia , McClearyBrewer ,
Overstreet , Fit/.patrick , Sulloway ,
Dinsmore , Bartholdt , Tate and Ridge-
ly of Kansas.
DUN'S REVIEW OF TRADE.
The European War a Disturbing Factor
* It Affects the Market.
New York , April 2 < i. E. G. Dun &
Co.Js weekly review of tra.de says :
"If either Turkey or Greece had been
wholly buried in the sea , markets
might have been affected less than by
the outbreak of war in Europe. Like
fire in the heart of a corwded city , it
raised the question whether a general
conflagration may spring out of it. To
this possibility , and not to the direct
influence : of either Turkey or Greece
upon the world's money or produce
markets , was due the excitement in
grain and stocks. As the unknown is
magnified American mai'kets were more
flighty than European , where the pos
sibilities i have been discussed and
partly discounted for months. The
uncertainty remains , and will affect
the movement of money and staples
until : it disappears , creating a larger
demand ( for American products at
higher prices , causing
. hasty specula
tive selling of securities at times , but
also ; more continuous buying by for
eign ' investors , and not improbably in
fluencing the attitude of foreign
powers on questions important to this
country. i
CHILD i KILLED BY WIND.

go , Kan. Parents Badly Injured.
Wamego , Kan. , April 20. A small
tornado passed over a part of Wabaun

LATE WAR ADVICES.
-
Greeks Thought to Ho In the Itcar ol
Edhnm Pasha's Army.
London , April 23. According to the
latest advices from the seat of the
Greco-Turkish war , 35,003 Turks un
der Edhcm Pasha have captured Tyr-
nave and arc within an hour ' s march
of Larissa , but are confronted by 30-
000 Greeks desperate but well nigh ex
hausted by their unceasing fighting
since the war began.
Thus the situation of the Greeks
would seem to be desperate , but it is
declared that Crown Prince Constantine -
tine weakened the forces about the
headquarters in order to send 20,000
Greeks to the rear of the Turks
with the intention of cutting off
their line of retreat and base of sup
plies. A portion of this army has as
its objective point the Salonica rail
road , which is the solitary line of
supplies for the Turkish army. With
the support of the Greek fleet , which
has arrived at Platamona , it is now
believed that '
Edhem Pasha's army
will be caught on the plains of Thes-
saly with 30,000 Greeks under Prince
Constantine intuit of him and 20,000
men and the Greek fleet behind in
possession of his line of retreat and
base of supplies. This contingency
was not suspected by the Turks until
yesterday. A short distance west of
Milouna the Greek army has taken
the pass of Reveni and is making its
way into Turkish territory.
Has Kdliom IIeon Outgeneraled ?
Thus the two armies have passed
each other , each going into the en-
emy's country. As yet nothing has
been heard of the 20,000 Greeks who
are in the mountains cast of Milouna '
pass , but it was reported from Athens 1
that at tiie proper time this portion *
of the Greek army would make an im- '
nortant move. '
The investment of Larissa was begun
yesterday by two divisions of the
Turkish army which arrived within an
hour's march of that town , having cap-
tui'ed the towns of Kriechora and
Badji. To meet the plan of campaign
of Prince Constantine , which he now
seems to fully realize , Edhem Pasha
has requested the porte to order the
Turkish fleet hurried to the gulf of
Salonica to meet the Greek vessels.
The original plan of the Turkish com
mander was to divide his army in
to two portions ; one of which waste
to try to break through at the western
end of the frontier at the gulf of Arta ,
while the other was to force the
passes commanding the approaches to
Larissa , and so by different routes ad
vance to Athens. The plan in the
west has failed signally. The Turks
have been greatly disconcerted by the
arrival of a portion of the Greek fleet
in western waters , the bombardment
of Prevesa and the vigorous attacks of
the Greek army under Colonel Manos.
Instead of passing the boundary at
Arta the Turks have found that the
Greeks have invaded Turkish territory
and that Colonel Manes is now well on
his way to Jannina.
DEMOCRATIC POLICY.
Minority Attitude on the TarllT Dill
Outlined Will Not Unduly Delay It.
Washington , April 23. There has
been some discussion of the probable
program of the Democratic members
of the finance committee with refer-
erence to the tariff bill , and it is
learned that , while their plans are
not definitely matured , they intend to
have reasonable consideration of the
bill in committee , and believe that
they will have the support of Senator
Jones of Nevada upon any fair propo
sition they submit The Democrats do
not want an extended consideration
in committee , but may desire to offer
some amendments after they see the
bill , the adoption of which tuey consid
er they would be more likely to secure
in the committee than in the open Sen
ate. It is said that in the Senate the
Democratic plan is not to delay the
bill any longer than is necessary , but
that every senator desiring to discuss
it shall have the opportunity to do so ,
and that such
record-making votes as
the Democrats think necessary shall
be had. This policy the Democrats
will pursue to the end.
WILL DURRANT ESCAPE ?
Many Intimations That the Church Mur
derer May Not Bo Hanged.
San Francisco , April 23. Many in
timations are made that Theodore
Durrant , the convicted murderer of
Blanche Lament , will never bo hanged.
Two of the state board of prison di
rectors in interviews have said that
they think Durrant should not be
hanged , two others favor his hanging ,
and the fifth is noncommittal. Gov
ernor Budd declines to say how .he
will act when the petition for clem-
encj- will be presented to him , but
many of his confidential friends state
that the irovernor has privatelv ex
pressed his belief in Durrant's guilt.
They consider it improbable that there
will be any executive interference
with the death sentence.
A Woman's Loop Bide.
Philadelphia , Pa. , April 23. Mrs.
E. Frances Hyde and Eugene De Kief-
fer , who left New York yesterday
morning to ride on horseback to this
city , 100 miles , arrived at 4:42 o'clock ,
having made the trip in eight and one-
half hours. Mrs. Hyde is the first
woman to make the ride.
The Sash and Door Trust Dead.
Osiiicosh , Wis. , April 23. Twenty-
four members of the National Manu
facturing company , known as the
sash , door and blind trust , met here
vesterday and decided to disband the
organization , the courts having re
stricted the operations of the organiza
tion to such an extent as to make it
useless.
A Long Miising Doctor Kotnrns.
St. JpsKPH , Mo. , April 23. Dr. J. P.

TURKEY DETERMINED
SULTAN DECIDES TO CHANGE
COMMANDERS.
Oiman Pasha , the Hero of Fleonn , Ke-
places S-edham Pasha on the Uorder
Turkish Advance Toward
Larissa Checked.
The Turko-Oreco War.
Constantinoplk , April 24. That the
work of the Turkish troops on the
Greek frontier has been disappointing
to the Sultnn and his advisers , and that
the Sultan has become desperate as
the result of the unexpectedly formid
able resistance of the Greeks was made
clear to-day when Osman Pasha , the
hero of Plevna , the acknowledged ,
greatest general of Turkey , was or
dered to the front as commander-in-
chief of the Turkish army , with head
quarters at Elassono , and Edhem
Pasha was recalled. In addition , Saad
Edin Pasha , a general of renown , was
ordered to the command of the Turk
ish army , in Epirus displacing Ahmed
Hifix Pasha , also recalled. Seventy-
two battalions of rediffs , or army re
serves i , numbering 50,400 men , were
also : ordered to leave for the Greek
frontier at once.
,
TURKS NOT SO CONFIDENT NOW.
It is stated here that one of the
Turkish brigades which had been
pushed ] forward on the plains of Lar
issa ' has been unable to advance fur
ther ' , owing to floods caused by rain
and ! the consequent rise of the river
Salambria. ' Edhem Pasha telegraphed ,
asking for the immediate dispatch of
pontoons to enable the troops to cross
the river , the Greeks having blown up
the bridwes. Thfisp. rp.norts linvf hrwl
a very depressing effect here , when
taken in conjunction with the formid
able resistance which the Turks have
met with around Tyrnavo.
Osman Pasha for sometime had
tasted all the dishes served to the sul
tan and seen that they wen : carefully
conveyed untouched from the kitchen
to his majesty. This is one of the
highest posts in Turkey.
In spite of the difficulties encount
ered , no doubt is felt among the Turk
ish military men here that the Turks
will ultimately occupy Larissa , though
it is admitted the task will be harder
than at first imagined , the government
having confidently expected to capture
the Greek headquarters by Tuesday
morn.ng last.
EDHEM PASHA TURNS BACK.
A telegram from
Milouna
pass re
ports that Edhcm Pasha returned to
Elassona yesterday to protect the left
wing of his army and hurry the re
inforcements forward. It is also posi
tive that Tyrnavo has successfully re
sisted the Turks and that the Turkish
advance line has retreated to Milouna
pass. The Greeks are also bending
every energy to carrying out their plan
to get behind , the Turks and cut the
railroad to Salonica.
TURKISH STORES CAPTURED.
Athens , April 24. After a bombard
ment of Katrina , on the gulf of Salon
ica , by the Greek squadron , had put
to flight two battalions of Turks and
the inhabitants of that place , the
Greek fleet landed a detachment and
found the Turks had left behind them
immense stores of provisions destined
for the armies of Edhem Pasha. These
valuable stores had been left unpro
tected in the belief by the Turks that
a blockade of Greece by the fleets of
the powers would prevent the Greek
fleet from attacking the Turkish towns
in the gulf of Salonica , which are near
the railroad to Salonica , and which
have been used as points to land stores
for the Turkish army and forward
them to the front.
The capture of these stores places a
serious difficulty in th.e path of lidhem
Pasha and it is
stated here that as
soon as the Turkish commander-in-
chief heard tic news of the capture of
Platamona and Katrina , he dispatched
10,000 men towards the coast of Mace
donia , fearing a flank attack from the
Gulf of Salonica. The Greek fleet , in
returning from the capture of Katrina ,
bombarded the post of Litchoro.
WILL FIGHT ONLY FITZ.
If the Cornishman Will Sot Meet Him
Corbett Will Retire.
New Yokk , April 24. If Bob Fitz-
simmons declines to give Corbett an
other try for his white alley , the Californian -
fornian will , it is announced , retire
from the prize ring. Corbett has an
idea that Fitzsiinmons will ijnore
his challenge. He says :
"Fiv < 3immons can insist upon me
fighting soix one else before he lets
me have anotXjr opportunity to re
deem mj'self , but it will not avail him
anything , for I do not intend to cross
nrms with nnv othftr bnxfir but. him.
I This is absolute , and nothing will
make me do otherwise. I have several
schemes in view and will spring one or
two of them before very long. ' '
Tariff Hill Xearly Done.
Washington , April 24. The Repub
lican tariff sub-committee of the Sen

with its eyes fixed upon next Tuesday
as the day to report the tariff bill to

ing at all confident that this result
can be accomplished.
