' 'LONDON , May 2C. A special dispatch
from Athens saje that Great Britain has
declared Iti Intention to abandon the coiir
cert of the powera if It be determined that
the occupation ot Thcssaly by Turkish
troops ehall bo prolonged until Greece shall
have paid the war Indemnity demanded by
, Turlcy. ;
The Athens correspondent of the Times
Daju : It la believed that complications have
arisen , owing to the advocacy by some of
the powers , Including Russia , of a Turkish
occupation of Thcssaly until the Indemnity
la ipald and to England's firm resistance to
such n project. The Greek government Is.
preparing for a probable renewal of the
; war.

ALU ISLAM WANTS THESSALY.
The Constantinople correspondent ot the
Btandnrd says :
The grand vlzlcr on Saturday submitted a
report to the sultan relating that the whole
* of Islam was determined to retain Thessdly ,
Adding : "Your majesty proved victorious In
Armenian and other matters , when you
firmly refused to bo dictated to by Europe ;
therefore , you should be equally flrnf on this
occasion. Yet , If my views are not palale-
oblo to your majesty , 1 bee of you to accept
Biy resignation. "
It now appears that the armistice was
originally for three days nnd nothing but
the vigor of the powers secured an exten-
elon to two weeks.
The story Is turrcnl that a wounded Turk
ish soldier at Ylldlz liovpltal , on being In-
.Vllcd by the sultan to proffer a dying request ,
implored him not to yield up Thessaly. The
eultan turned paio and his eyes filled wfth
tears.
Seyfulla Bey , chief of staff to the sultan ,
nnd the Von iloltkc of the campaign , haa
been summoned to Constantinople to give the
liillltary the benefit of his advice.
The Athens correspondent of the Standard
reports an Interview with 'M. Ralll , in the
course of which the premier said he was
.Very grateful to England for her finances ,
ds this might effect the saving of the corn
crop , valued at 6,000,000. If the Turkish
troops withdrew within fti fortnight the crop
might be harvested , but If the withdrawal
/were / delayed for a month the whole w.cild
be sacrificed , entailing a loss to Greece oi
quite 2,000,000 , since If the crop were losl
the government would be obliged to feed
the peasants and to Incur other expenses.
l With reference to the alleged loan ne
gotiations M. Ralll said the proposal was
merely to renew the treasury bonds author
ized by the former minister tor war pur
poses.

LONDON , May 26. The aspect of the east
ern affairs is less peaceful. Turkey Is send
ing 7,000 more troops to Thessaly and It Is
Bald that the sultan has promised his min
isters not to relax Ills hold upon that pro-
.rlnco. The note of the powers certainly
does not yield on a single point , and stnlct
oven that the peace conference must be held
at Constantinople and not at Pharsalla , but
the sincerity of both Germany and Russia
is doubted , and any sign of dissension among
the powers encourages far more obstinacy on
the part of the sultan. It Is reported from
Vienna that Emperor Nicholas has advisee1
King George , for hla own safety , to appolnl
n military governor with exceptional pow
ers , and to concentrate 8,000 troops at Ath

HAVANA , 'Mny ' 26. El Dlaro de la ( Marina
In a leading editorial today says : "Wo see
In the American newspapers that there are
certain social classes In the United States
who arc not alive to the Importance of the
advice , 'Don't monkey with the lion's tall. "
These classes are remarkable for the quick
ness In which they evade Jurisdiction in. af-
falra which , like the Cuban war , are ex
clusively the affairs of Spain.
"Tho persistence with \\hlch they recog
nize the belligerency of the Inourgenta la
crazy and ridiculous. The Important con
servative Interests of the United States
should not forget that the patience of Spain
may soon become exhausted. The Spanlah
government has given abundant proofs of Its
good will by Ignoring the many Inconveni
ences that have been caused by resolutions
in congress. Those Interests ought to be
thankful to us for our abnegation. We have
suffered. Hut In case the sword should be
unsheathed Spain would certainly not be
the heaviest loser In the fight.
"Spalnt has sent 200,000 men to Cuba to
settle a domestic difficulty. What would
she not do In the event of a foreign war
with the nation which for a century has
abused our patience by Ignoring Spanish
honor and chivalry ? President McKlnley
should consider this carefully and If he Is
to deal with , us as enemies let him take
the advice of an enemy and no longer trifle
with us. "

Greece had no national grievance ncalnst
Turkey , and without blundering Interference
he Cretan affair would nave been ouietly
eltled by the two parties Interested. But
Europe gave the patriotic society a chance
o asltate. nnd thus forced Greece , unjire-

WAS LITTLE AGAINST BIG.
ATHENS , May 2G From a military point
of view , Greece lo t by opposing vastly su
perior numbers with an Ill-supplied , hastily
mobilized mob of recruits , handicapped by
a lack of horses and without cavalry the
eyes of an army. It was like pitting a boy
against a man with telescope ? .
The Greek Is brave , and ! f trained is the
best soldier In Europe , nnd Intelligent. The
Turk fights wel' . He is a fatalist. Danth
n battle means pure paradise to him.
Against such fanaticism old troops were
needed. The Greeks have no annual field
maneuvers , lack of which prevented the
training of ofllcers and Then' . The mlvtakea
of our generals would not have been made
If they had been accustome-d to the handling
of large bodies of men. We will take a les
son from adversity nnd be prepared. We
cannot yield to Turkey the frontier strategic
points , for brlfrands would utilize th m to
ravage Thessaly , moreover , new defenses
cost heavily.

vieft , the Russian foreign minister , can
vassed the powers before the beginning of
hostilities , and announced that the ag
gressor , If victorious , could not be allowed
one pitlmmlo of sail nor one drachma of
money from the vanished. If this IB PO ,
Turkey must Immediately evacuate Thes-
faly , for Turkey was the agsrpssor , tech
nically nnd actual'.y. She declared war
without justification. Turkey mnv claim
two occurrences ns euch , the landing of
Greek trooi > s In Crete nnd later the crossing
Into Turkey of some armed bands. The
Cretan proposition cannot stand , bccalioo the
powers authorized the landing by per
mitting it. because later they terminated
Crete as n cause for war by the blockade ,
and because International law recognizes
the right of n nation to protect its co-re-
IlKionlsts anywhere from massacre. Greece
attempted this. The ; so-called Invasion of
Turkey by Greek hands cannot hold , as the
Moslems claim. The few men crossed
against the effort of Greek government and
were not Greek subjects , certainly not
Greek soldiers. They mostly were Mace
donian ! ! , subjects of the sultan. If the
powers allow power to five way to right ,
Greece has nothingto fear from the de
cision. IUANTAFILUAKOS.

General Porter , In prceenttng-'uls creden-

Monsieur le President : I have tlu honor
0 present you with a loiter accrediting mo
inibassndor extruonllnaiy and plenlpoten-
lory of the United S.ates of-America. It IB
1 source of extreme gratification to me to

charged with the very agreeable duty of
conveying to you lliovc.onllnl good wishes
of the eminent citizen recently Inaugurated
chief magistrate 6f 'the United States of
America , nnd to aswure-you of the profound
regard he entertains for you personally and
) f the high esteem In which he holds tha
laople of France. The similarity of the
01 ms of government of our lespettlve coun-
rles , th ( ! belief Indulged Ih by both in lib
eral policies nnd the , deep Interest felt by
? ach In the freedom , rights and welfare of
ts citizens , have created between our people
enduring bonds of sympathy. The alliance
entered Into by both 'countries ' when the
American republic was' Ihilts Infancy , the
) loodshed in common In lha'cause of human
iberty nnd the traditional friendship con-
inued through so lonj ? ti jMJrloQ have estnb-
Ished relations of nmitywhich time should
never be permitted to efface.
I take pleasure In nsauflnff von that I
should not Jeprosent faithfully the sen 11-
nents of my government or'of the American
people if I failed to employ .every endeavor
on my part to fos'er and strengthen the In
tercourse which now Ijapplly exists between
our sister republics.
President Fauro replied In somewhat simi
lar terms , expressed satisfaction at the uen-
timenta and assurances General Porter had
uttered , and . acaurcd" ! Him ho would find
France well disposed to second him in his
efforts , and , thatfivery facility would be
given him to accomplish lib mission.
General Porter then..presented Henry Vlg-
naud , secretary of the United States em-
basoy , ; , : E. E. Scott , , the second secretary ;
Cnlnnrl , . . S. . . , . (1. Kellogg , the _ United Starr.- '

When General Porter , withdrew the mu
nicipal , band played "The Washington Post
March. ? ' The ambassador returned to the
Rue de Madrid , with , the game ceremonial ,
escorted by the squadron orculracslero. Gen
eral Porter later called upon M. Hlinotaux ,
the minister for foreign affairs.
An unprecedented Incident occurred upon
the occasion of the presentation of General
Porter's credentials. The ambassador wanted
to. dellver _ hie ( speech at the Etysee palace ,
In English , as the retiring ambassador , Mr.
Eustls , had done , but the , director of the
protocol insisted that he must speak in

to submit. Although on some previous oc
casions United States ministers have spoken
in French , this Is the first time the point
was raised and formally maintained by the

WASHINGTON , May 20. The first vote
on the tariff bill was taken lu the senate

comparatively unimportant , afforded an op-
> ortunlty for the first alignment of the varl-
ouu elcmente. Mr. Vest ot Missouri , a demo
cratic member of the finance committee ,
noved to make the rate on boraclc add 3
nstcad of 5 cents a pound , as provided by the

The debate was participated in by Senators
Vest , Jones of Arkansas , Aldrlcb , Perkins.
White , Caftrcy , Gray and Stewart , Mr.
White , a democratic member of the finance
committee , opposed Mr. Vest's amendment ,
urging that the California Industry required

paragraphs of the bill were considered dur
ing the day , the commit too being sustained
In each Instance.
The resolution was agreed to , authorizing
the secretary of the navy to employ any
iniltablo ship In forwarding relief supplies

authorizing a bridge over the Clinch river at
Kingston , Tenn. Mr. Allison ot Iowa caused
the passage of a Joint resolution appropriat
ing $225,000 for deficiencies at the govern
ment printing office.
RELIEF FOR INDIA.
Debate occurred over the chartering ot
rhlps to carry relict siif piles to India. Mr.
Chandler ot New Hampshire endeavored to
get a vote on his proposition to send the sup
plies by any suitable ship.
Mr. Morgan of Alabama Insisted that
American ships under the /American flag be
employed. He favored naturalizing two for
eign-built ships , "even If It does grind on
some gentlemen who monopolize the coast
wise trade in steamshlpi. "
Mr. Gray ot Delaware also urged that the
"white winged messengers of peace and
benevolence should bear the American flag. "
Mr. Stewart of Nevada said this sending of
grain wcs a charity , and yet here senators
were discussing what display we could make
how we could advertise ourselves and how
Ihe American' flag could bo used as an Incident
" " "

Mr. MorgarT'wccj a" scheme "originatingwith
Hogan & Sons , New York , shipowners , who
were seeking to make a bargain as an Inci
dent to this charity , by which two of their
foreign-built ships would secure permanent
American registries.
A motion by Mr. Morgan to table the
Chandler proposition was defeated , 18 to 40
and the Joint resolution was then passed. Mr
Sowell ot New Jersey made a brief am
vigorous statement that this American bene
faction should go under the American flag
and Mr , Morgan added : "Tho American flog
is now hauled down. "
The final conference report on the Indian
bill was then agreed to. The tariff bill wis
taken up at 2 o'clock.
TARIFF DEBATE OPENS.
Mr. White of California , In behnlt ot the
democratic mcmbem of the finance com
mlttce , submitted a number of tables show
Ing the articles on , which the duties were
from 30 to 70 per cent , from 75 to 100 per
cent and over 100 per cent.
In reply to questions by Mr. White Mr
Aldrlch , In charge of the bill , said ho was
unable to state the average ad valorem rate
of the entire bill or the total number o
amendments proposed.
The formal reading- the bill then began ,
and the senate was thus brought to the poln
of considering the measure by paragraphs
The first amendments wore formal and were
agreed to without question. As soon as
the second page was reached a contest arose
over the amendment propcsed by the finance
committee , raising the duty on "coracle acic
from 4 to C cents per pound.
Mr. Vest of Missouri moved to substitute
3 cents. After a lengthy debate , the Ves
amendment was defeated , 20 to 34 as fol

WASHINGTON , May 26. The
has sent to the eonate the detailed
orcstry made by the commlttc <
National Academy ot Science at
if the secretary of the Interior ,
loncluslons of the committee were ,
n an abstract furnished by theffjlco /
ome weeks ago. The report
alls aa to European cxpcrlmcnflBHMlng
ho Influence upon climate and Rirci'is = How
mid says the figures dcmonstrAtc a consliler-
\ble progressive reduction In tlie mean an-
tual , the flood and the lowest water levels"
upon all the chief rivers draining central
Juropo. Mllllonn of dollars have been ex
pended during recent years In Europe In
hocking the force of floods duo to denuded
mountain slopes by the construction of stone
dams and river beds and planting eod and
rce-s. The committee predicts that similar
expenditures In this country must follow the
lostructlon of mountain forests If the nar
row , valleys of the west are to continue Imblt-
ible.
ible.Fire
Fire and pasturage arc cited as chiefly
hrcatenlng the reserved forest lands of the
mbllc domain , Illegal timber cutting damage
icing comparatively Insignificant , The com
mittee says the government In permitting
rce pasturage on the public domain to gheep
owners In the public land states and ter
ritories Is clearly unjust to people clae-
vhere , who must own or hire pastures.
Traces of depredations were visible In all the
cservofl visited.
By segregation of these great bodies of re
served lands they cannot be withdrawn from
all occupation and use , but should bo man
aged for the benefit of the people of the
whole country , not for a class or section.
i\s to this the report sajs that under a
strict Interpretation of the Interior depart-
ncnt 40,000,000 acres of land are thus the
oretically shut out from all human occupa-
lon or enjoyment , a condition of affairs that
should not continue. Land more valuable
for | ts mineral deposits or agricultural
crops than for Its timber should be taken
rom the reservations and told to miners
and farmers , mature timber should be cut
and should settlers within or adjacent to
the boundaries bo nimble to procure It in
others ways they should be authorized to
: ako such material from reserved forests aa
s necessary for their needs , and prospectors
should be allowed to search the forests for
minerals.
This general scheme of administration of
forest reserves is submitted : A forestry
bureau Is to be organized under a director ,
who is to be president of an advisory
board consisting of himself , an assistant di
rector and four forest inspectors. It also
provides that the bureau should have a dis
bursing officer , clerks and legal advisers ;
twenty-six head foresters , twenty-six assist
ants , to constitute a permanent corpsa ; 200
raugtrs cud various assistant rangers , the
salary roll calling for an annual appropria
tion of $250,000 with appointive preferences
given West Point graduates. To provide for
the survey of all lands surveyed or to be sur
veyed a board of forest lands Is recom
mended. Holders , corporate or Individual , of
lands In the reserves are to exchange them
for equitable holdings outsUe. As to the
unreaerved forest lands , Shu report urges
withdrawing from sale and entry lands
more valuable ) for timber than for other
purposes end suggests that after survey ,
those tracts ICES valuable for forests be
opened to sale and entry and the remainder
held permanently for the government.
UKSTS ITS CASE.

AKnliiNt Iliivcmeyer.
WASHINGTON , May 26. The government
rested Its case against Henry O. Havcmyer ,
the president of the American Sugar Refin
ing company , shortly after the noon recess
today. Thereupon Mr. Johnson of Philadel
phia , the leading counsel for the defense ,
moved that the judge Instruct the jury to
find the defendant not guilty on nix grounds :
1. That the question aa to local nnd Btnte
contributions of the cape ivus beyond the
Jurisdiction of the senate committee and Im
pertinent. ,
2. That It was not part of Mr. Havemyer'a
duty to examine iccords for the purpose of
answering questions ho could not answer
from memory ,
3. That when data from books or records
are demanded , such books or records are the
best evidence.
4. That the question put to witness was too
broad , covering ii relevant matters.
G. If the witness wan to be held recusant
It was the duty of the committee to warn
him that the question was a committee , not
un Individual question ; and
6. That the indictment did nof disclose
cause of action.
Mr. Johnson made an argument of an hour
and a half In support of bis motion , and
vktn he concluded , District Attorney Davis
oakc-d lor an adjournment , which was
granted. Mr. Davis will reply to the mo
tion tomorrow.
Tuo concluding testimony of the govern
ment offered at the morning- session was
not important , save for the purpose of mak
ing up the record aa to 'What ' occurred In
the senate Investigating committee.

WASHINGTON , May SG. ( Special Tele
gram. ) If all days on the tarltf bill wrro
Ike today , It Is calculated by arithmeticians
hat the senate will consume 100 daje la
llscusslon of the present measure. Senator
Mdrlch , however , said to The Bee corrcs-
) ondent that he wan greatly encouraged with
he condition of affaire and that the decision ,
of the republicans to settle all their differ
ences In caucus would naturally change the
Itnatlon ns far as the discussion of the
> 111 was concerned. While the senate cou-
umrd nearly four hours In discussion ot
two paragraphe , there uro many paragrapl-s
vhich can be agreed upon without any dis
cussion whatever , and this will lessen very
natei tally the calculation ot old-ttmcra here
abouts In regard to the length of time the
*
'cnato wilttake to eventually dispose of the
arlff question. It Is confidently expected
that the Keivnt'o will have disposed of the
illl In six weeks from today , but probably
.welvo or fifteen ikiys will bo taken In con-
'crence , and that It will go to the president
or signature sonic time between the 1st
and 15th ot August. This calculation may
somewhat modlllcd In event that warm
weather should euddenly come upon con
fess , for there Is nothing like "general
lumldity" to drive legislators to their homes.
Secretary Wilson of the Agricultural de-
jiartmcnt said today that ho knew nothing
of the alleged appointment ot Hon. 1'cter Jan-
een of Falrbury , Neb. , an special agent ot
the Agricultural department to Investigate
American shipments of cattlu and meat to
England for the purpose of Inducing greater
demand in the English market. He is em
phatic in the statement that there bos been
no application made at that department for
any such position.
INVITING FOREIGN GOVERNMENTS.
Representative Mercer and Mr. Rosewater
will call at the State department In the
morning in reference to extending to repre
sentatives ot the United States in foreign
countries invitations to bo transmitted to
the several governments to which , they are
accredited to participate In the Transmls-
slsalppl Exposition to be held in Omaha next
year. Up to this time these invitations.- have
not been received at the State department.
There lias been considerable wonderment on
the part of the olllclals that the president
and secretary of the Exposition company
should have failed to present these Invita
tions along the lines laid down by the At
lanta and Nashville expositions , which must
necessarily be a precedent so far as form
and manner of transmission n're concerned.
Mr. Rosewater , It is understood , la author
ized on the part ot the Exposition company ,
and as chairman of the Bureau of Publicity ,
to present these letters for transmission to
ambabsadors , ministers , consuls and diplo
matic officers generally throughout the world
to Induce foreign countries to exhibit at
Omaha next year.
It lu understood that there has been a
happy solution of the question aa to who
should be the next register of the land ofllco
at O'Neill. R. II. Jenncss was a strong can
didate for the place , ns was also S. J.
Weeks of Atkinson. Both of thctso gentle
men , well known to republicans of the north
western section of the country , filed endorse
ments of "exceptional character as to their
fitness for the place. Senator Thurston , who
has moved most cautiously in the matter
of appointments , was at a loss to know just
what to do In this case , when Mr. Jenncss
solved the problem by withdrawing In favor
of Mr. Weeks , and in all probability Mr.
Weeks' name will go In as register early next
week.
RECEIVKTl FOR THE ORLEANS BANK.
Comptroller Eckels' states that there will
be no appointment of a receiver for the Or
leans bank until next week. He expressed
a desire that , as Uio two largest creditors
wore the state and .county , ho would
llko the state and county to take n portion
of the assets of the Uank In payment of ob
ligations , as otherwise it would bo a very
costly settlement that would devolve upon
the receiver. It Is Impossible to tell who the
receiver will be , there being a number ot
candidates recommended for the place.
Mies Adelle Randall of Alton , 111. , is vis
