guaranteed Reasonable charges TURKS ARE DISMAYED CONTINUED SUCCESS OF THE GREEK TROOPS REPORTED Turkish Battery at Iageria Destroyed and Turks Driven from Nezeros and Rapaarl Greek Fleet Destroys Vast Quantities of Ottoman Stores Edhem Pasha Recalled Crown Prince Coustantine Las stirred Athens to a thigh pitch of enthusiasm over his reports to King George of Greek suc cesses everywhere in Thessaly The Hel lenic troops under the crown prince have destroyed the Turkish battery at Ligeria The Moslems have retired from Nezeros and Rapsari and are appalled by the de struction of all their stores at Katerina and Lithochorion From Salonica comes the news that after a fierce ibattle the Greeks occupied Karya a small fortified town mear Milouna Pass Osman Pasha has succeeded Edhem Pasha as commander-in-chief of the Turkish armies Ed hem Pasha lias been recalled by the sul tan and the hero of Plevna will try to rally the Moslem troops who it is con ceded even at Constantinople have been outfought at all points by the Hellenes At Constantinople the situation is re garded as serious and the recall of 13d hem Pasha is taken to be a rebuke to that general for the manner in which Crown Prince Constantine has apparently out generaled Lim in all moves made on the Thessalian border since the first skirmish at Milouna Pass Ahmed Hifzi Pasha their possessions for the victorious Greeks Terrific fighting is reported froin Arta where the Turks suffered repulses constantly while attempting to cross thei bridge into the town The Moslems were met at each onslaught by ritle volleys and were forced back in disorder Again and again under cover of heavy cannon fire they tried to cross the bridge but could proceed no farther than the center Finally in one assault the Turkish commander was killed and his men fell back in confusion and made no more at tempts to carry the bridge Then the Turkish cannon were silenced Athens advices say tliatthe excitement there over the Greek successes everywhere is in tense and reports from Volo say that even women there are arming themselves to do battle with the Turks FRUIT INJURED BY FROST Reports Indicate that the Crop Has Suffered Severely Unseasonably cold weather during the last three days has created the gravest fears among the fruit growers in many sections of the country Through Illinois and Indiana and the southern part of Wis consin the cold has been especially se vere and the reports are anything but re assuring The records of the weather department show that Tuesdays tempera ture was 14 degrees below the average for April and that last Monday was 18 degrees colder than the normal C E Linney superintendent of the weather and crop service report for the Chicago district sent out a bulletin which takes a cheerful look at the situation He is inclined to the belief that the fruit buds in Illinois are not far enough ad vanced to be hurt by the cold weather PRINCE CONSTANTINE COMMANDER OF THE GREEK FORCES Prince Constantine the heir apparent to the Grecian throne is winning the warmest applause from the Grecian people by his gallant conduct in the present War He is in command of the main army and is threatening the Turks with all sorts of disaster Constantine was always popular with the Hellenes lie is 21 years old Grecian born and is an ardent follower of the religion of the country When he became of age in 1SS9 hp married Princess Sophia of Russia yhp is yery patriptic and greatly beloved by the people Constantine and his wife aye very democratic Princess Sophia goes about Athens unattended and ia distin guished in no way outwardly from any other lady in the town Prince Con stantine conducts himself with much freedom from ostentation and if the Greeks had their way these two with their ancient names would be king and queen Con stantine went to school in Europe and had the benefit of the best military training that could be had in the big war camps of the continent also has been recalled from Zamia and Saas Edin Pasha has left Constantinople to relieve him in command of the Turkish troops at that point More Troops Forwarded Seventy two new battalions of Turkish soldiers 50400 men have been mustered in from the army reserves and prepared for instant service Greece too has sum moned all her landwelir or militia and will send them tp Thessaly at qnce Heavy fighting continues all along the bprder from Arta tp Platamona Everywhere the Greeks appear to have been victori ous or else to have held their ground agaipst the Turkish attacks Santi Quaranta has beep reduced by the Greek squadron which abandoned the bombardment of Prevesa and went to the former place opening fire at once on the Turkish blockhouse there Later the squadron returned to Corfu having on board eighty Christian refugees taken from Santi Quaranta which was destroy ed and the Turkish stores there burned The citadel of Prevesa is reported to have withstood the furious bombardment of the Greek ships but it is said the town is almost wholly destroyed The East ern Greek fleet after bombarding Ka trina on the Gulf of Salonica and reducing the town landed a detachment and cap tured an immense quantity of stores in cluding provisions and ammunition des tined for the use of Edhem Pashas ar mies Greek troops have forced the inhabit ants to abandon Kafia and ediiem tasita son two fortified Turkish towns The people fled in terror when the cannonad ing began and were forced to lenve all The news from the vicinity of Joliet is not encouraging to the fruit interests the se vere cold weather having killed most of the fruit and berry buds in that section according to the reports In some sections of northern Indiana notably in DeKalb County the mercury registered 1G degrees above zero Monday night and great injury resulted tq fruit and vegetable The heaviest damage was inflicted in the southern sections of Indiana where the fruit was farthest ad vanced and in the great fruit belt which includes the cqunties flqng the Ohio river and extends north for fifty miles It is estimated that nearly all the fruit in this section is killed but time may prove that this estimate is incorrect McKinleys Saddle Horse The saddle horse selected by the Han Charles Fleischmanu of Cincinnati for President McKinley was shipped to Washington Monday Mr Delauey has been training the horse to city sights and now says that President McKinley need have no fear to ride his mount anywhere The above photograph was taken at the home of Mr Fleischmanu in Avondale Cincinnati Commercial Tribune Alphouse Bertillon of France who in vented the Bertillon system of measuring convicts advocates the exemption from direct taxation of every family in which there are three children and the imposi tion of an extra tax of 20 per cent upon all those not thu3 provided preventing the treasury from losing any mrt of the present revenue and at the amp time es tablising a distinctipn

made his maiden speech in the Senate Wednesday and signalized it by some breezy criticism on the rules of the Senate It was such a variation from the prosy debate of re cent days that the Senator was accorded close attention and twice received the hearty applause of crowded galleries Mr Hoar of Massachusetts replied briefly pointing out that the other branch of Congress was more open to criticism than the Senate He was in accord with Mr Mason however on the need of new rules A vote was taken on Mr Gor mans motion to refer the Mason resolu tion to the Rules Committee which pre vailedyeas 32 nays 24 Most of the day was given to the bankruptcy bill The House after a ten minute session ad journed one day out of respect to the late Representative Milliken of Maine The session of the Senate
