A Probahililty That tlie Powers Will In tervene to Stop Further Blood shed—Greeks Despondent. The Turkish legation at Washington has received the following dispatch from the minister of foreign affairs at Constantinople, confirmatory of the press dispatches of ’>e fall of Larissa The dispatch was >..-,ed Sunday, the 25th: “Larissa has been occupied today by the cavalry of the Ottoman army. The Hellenic troops fled in disorder, abandoning a great quantity of arms and ammunition.” The legation also received the fol ’ owing dispatch from Constantinople: “The imperial troops took in Tyr oavo a great quantity of rifles and ammunition for cannon and rifles; also provisions. The Greek soldiers who were taken prisoners were sent to Elassona. The village has been sur sonnded by a military cordon. “Ottoman patrol make continual rounds and efficient measures have been taken to prevent any depre dations. The wise and proper be havior of our troops has been the -abject of admiration of the foreigners who are on the spot.” Rejoicing at Constantinople. The triumph of the Turkish arms has caused the liveliest satisfaction at Constantinople. The following tele gram from Edhem Pasha is posted ev erywhere. “Larissa was occupied today by the cavalry of the imperial army. The Hellenic troops fled in disorder, aban doning a large quantity of arms and ammunition. ” This has been put as a bulletin in many places, while the people are also reading Edhem Pasha’s dispatch an nouncing his possession of a strategic position on front of Tyrnavo. Beginning of the End. A cable dispatch from London says: What seems likely to be the last week of war was entered upon Sunday It is difficult from the tangle of conflicting telegrams to understand the exact po sition of affairs. Followiug the Greek defeat at Larissa, London opinion today is almost unani mous that the end is in sight, and this view is probably shared by the powers, as they are already moving to inter vene. It is believed that intervention will first take the form of a suggestion of armistice, to which the combatants would no doubt agree. Since yester day afternoon the British foreign for eign office has been in close communi cation with the other powers of the Eu ropean concert,Great Britain suggest ing that the time has now arrived for them to act. The French, German and Italian governments have already responded, offering to agree, though the German government adds as a Spndition that it would be necessary to exact a pledge from Greece to obey the mandate of Europe when this man date is again-given.” The British foreign office believes that Greece n ill give this pledge, as the disaster which 'lias overtaken her has demonstrated thtvf Turkey still possesses a formidable fighting machine —a fact which must have a sobering effect upon the popular d?mand for war at Athens, and which will permit the Greek nation to climb dowA with out disgrace, after a superb vindica tion of the personal courage of the Greek troops and a gratifying demon stration of Hellenic patriotism. REAR ADMIRAL MEADE ILL. Retired Naval 'Officer May Recover From Present Low Condition. The condition of Bear Admiral Rich ard W. Meade, retired, who has been ill in Washington for some days, is not so favorable. About ten days ago he was operated upon for appendicitis. Until Sunday an improvement was no ticeable. During the afternoon he had a chill, which left him in a weakened condi tion. From this there was some ral'y during the evening. He is very weak and takes liquid nourishment. CYCLONE PLAYS HAVOC. Several People Injured and Property De stroyed In Michigan. A special from Outer, Arenac county, Mich , says that a cyclone struck that town about 5:3 (o’clock Saturday even ing, completely demolishing the store of \V. R. Clowston, whose residence was also torn down. Mr. and Mrs. R. H. Hagley were blown sixty feet into the air, and both are fatally hurt. Mr. Clowston re ceived a serious scalp wound, and is thought to be fatally injured. The cyclone lasted but a moment and was followed by a terrific rain. The cloud was funnel-shaped and took a northeasterly direction. SO QUORUM IN’ SENATE. Members Go to New York to Attend Grant Ceremonies. There will be no quorum in the sen ate during the present week, owing to the absence of a large number of sen ators in New York, in attendance upon the ceremonies over General Grant’s tomb. Consequently no business of importance will be tiausacted. The work of preparing for the reor ganization of the senate committee will proceed informally. RESULT OF COURMARTIAL, The Atlanta Artllli-ry Company Is Prac . ticall.v Di*bun<le<l. Captain Joseph F. Kempton, of the Atlanta Artillery, has been dismissed from the military service of Georgia, forfeiting all pay and allowances due him as witness or otherwise. Sergeant Guy Thurman, Corporal H. G. McCord and Private W. A. Sanges are dishonorably discharged from the service. All other members and officers of the Atlanta Artillery on trial are dis missed. This verdict dis nissed twen ty-six men from the state service, prac tically disbanding the company. Six teen members only are left. The sweeping decision of the court martial was handed down Saturday night and the decision, printed in tab ulated form, containing the charges, specifications and pleas, were mailed to every officer and private of the com pany by Captain Brown. The decis ion came in the nature of a startling surprise to the friends of the Atlanta Artillery. Captain Kempton claimed that he had been treated badly by his men and was not guilty of the charges which had been preferred against him. His friends were of the opinion that he would be vindicated and that all would be satisfactorily arranged. The privates scarcely dreamed of dismissal and the announcement will cause a tremendous sensation in the city among the companies in the service of the state. The story of the rupture in the ranks bf the Atlanta Artillery is one with which the public is familiar. Captain Kempton was disliked by his men and there was no congeniality among the members. Dissatisfaction and discontent grew as time passed by and mutiny arose in tiro camps. In sinuations were strongly thrown out by the men that they were not pleased with their captain. Captain Kempton turned a deaf ear to these mutterings in the ranks and persisted in the com mand of the company. The fire was smothered for a time, but only to break out afresh with renewed fury. The men talked of the situation and the story would reach the ears of their captain. Rumors innumerable were afloat, but no change was made in the command and the battery held together until the charges were brought, which resulted in the courtmartial. BUCK IS DINED. Japanese Minister Highly Compliments the Georgian. The dinner given at the Japanese legation at Washington Saturday night in honor of A. E. Buck, of Atlanta, Ga., the new minister to Japan, was one of the most notable of the season’s diplomatic affairs. The Japanese minister, Air. Toru Hoshi, was, of course, the host. Among those present at the dinner were: Hon. A. E Buck, Secretary John Sherman, Secretary Lyman J. Gage, Attorney General Joseph McKenna, Air. Frances M. Hatch, minister of Hawaii; Air. J. D. Rodriguez, minister of Greater Republic of Central Amer ica; Senator C. K. Davis, Senator John T. Morgan, Senator John L. Mitchell, General Kelson A. Miles, Air. John W. Foster, ex-secretai v of state; Air Toru Hoshi. It was a social dinner with no set speeches. DEADLOCK STILJ, ON. Kentucky Joint Session Yet. Fails to Elect a t inted States Senator. The largest crowd of the extra ses sion of the Kentucky legislature as sembled in he house shortly before noon Saturday, the hour for the joint session at which it was expected that the long and tedious wrangle would he ended by the election of W. J. De boe to the United States senate. There were rumors to the effect iliat Senator Linney, of Louisville, who was one of the bolters in the Hunter race, would not be present and that Representative Lieberth, of Newport, ij’ould also be missing, both without pairs. This caused the republicans great uneasiness. To a fid to this the gold democrats held a caucus at noon and decided to assist the silver democrats in an effort to break a quorum. Earthquake -in Illinois. A severe earthquake was felt at Cairo, 111., at 10 o’clock Sunday. It lasted twenty seconds. The largest structures were shaken with a swaying motion, anti people rushed in terror t< the streets. No damage has been re- Dorted. SECOND PROPOSITION MADE. Coal Company of Alabama Submit** An other Plan to Miners. At a meeting at Birmingham, Ala , Saturday of representatives of the sev en thousand miners working for the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railway Cos., the proposition made by the company two weeks ago, looking to a reduction of 5 cents per ton for coal mining was considered. Another proposition was offered the miners by the company. The offer is 35 cents per ton for coal mining on the sliding scale with pig iron prices as the basis, the price of No. 1 foundry iron at $7 is the quotation, and for every 50 cents per ton for coal mining. FATAL MINE EXPLOSION. Two Miners Were Killed and Others Injured. In mine No. 2 at Bloeton, Ala., at 3 o’clock Saturday morning gas explo ded in a heading. Four Italians, driving the heading, were ent of from escape by part of the mine falling in and two of them were killed and the others badly injured. A large gang of men set to work to rescue them. The men were 1,600 feet below the surface. THROUGH GEORGIA. Governor Atkinson and Judge Tnr uer will visit all of the states within the next few weeks for the purpose of securing all the information possible upon the serious question of managing convicts and every camp of impo tance will be inspected for this reason. * . * The officers elected at the recent meeting of the State Aledical association at Alacon are as follows: President, J. B. Morgan, Augusta, Ga.; first vice-president, L. G. Hardeman, Har mony Grove; second vice-president, J. .. Hiers, Savannah; censor, Charles Hicks, Dublin. The report of the committee appointed to revise the constitution and by-laws was adopted. ♦ * * The hook commission, recently ap pointed by Governor Atkinson by au thority of an act passed at the last session of the legislature, will proba bly hold its first meeting in Alacon about the middle of next month. The resplt of the meeting will be awaited with much interest, as a commission has in charge a work that will affect the entire public school system of t eorgia. The third annual convention of the leorgia division of the Travelers’ Protective Association of America met in Atlanta, elected its officers, ad journed, banqueted and the delegates eft for their homes Sunday morning. Mr. E. E. Smith, ex-chairman of the state railroad committee and chairman of the national railroad committee,was elected president. Air. D. P. O’Con nor, of Augusta, holds the important office of state secretary and treasurer, and Augusta captures the state head quarters. Savannah gets the next an nual convention of the state division. * * * The Epworth League convention ad journed at Atlanta last Sunday night, after a highly successful and enter aining meetin >. The following offi cers were elected for the ensuing year: ’res dent, Air. Leon Smith, of La- Irange; first vice president, J. E. Alc- Ghee, of Valdosta; second vice-presi ent, Aliss Daisy Davis, of Atlanta; bird vice president, Airs. J. B. Bus sey, Cnthbert; secretary, J. A. Stran lian, Alacon; treasurer, Airs. T. P. Graham, Rome, editor, Airs. J. Lester Dillon, Augusta. The next meeting place will be Alacon, hut toe exact date has not yet been fixed. * * * Tlie great council of Georgia Im proved Order of Red Alen will assem ble in Atlanta Alay 11th and hold their pow-wows. The business of the coun cil will be rushed and the Red Alen will leave Atlanta on the night of the lltli and go to Nashville to see the big exposition and to participate in the celebration of St. Tamina’s day by the Red Alen of Tennessee. Preparations are being made by the Atlanta Red Alen to receive and entertain the dele gates and visitors to the great council and the men of the whoop and scalp will be royally cared for during their Atlanta war dances. It is very probable that the general assembly will he asked to enact a law changing the present system of justice court procedure, at least so far as it applies to Fulton county. There is at present a strong movement working iu opposition to the old custom and it looks as if a war to the death is to be waged on the old system. It is charged that .the practices of some of the courts in the county are irregular, question able and at variance with a good sys tem of government. It is claimed that there has grown up a belief that the courts are being used for wrongful and improper purposes and that they are fast becoming sources of evil instead of temples of justice. * * * The Northeastern railroad will soon be placed upon the market to be sold to the highest bidder. Governor At kinson will be the autioneer and the property will he sold under the special act of the legislature which was pass ed last fall. When the legislature took action in the matter the governor was authorized to make the sale within six months from that time, the limit expiring on June 24th. The minimum price named in the bill was $287,000, which is at the rate of about $7,000 per mile, the road being a little more than forty miles in length. Upon the -ale of the Northeastern hinges a num ber- of very important things which have been contemplated for quite awhile. The road, when sold, will probably be bought in for the purpose of extending it and developing the country through’which the proposed line has been surveyed. Secretary of State, Allen D. Candler, has received a letter which brings to light a gigantic land fraud perpertrated 100 years ago. There was a forged grant of 60,000 acres in Laurens county and heirs of claimants to some of this land under the forged title are trying to sell it in New York. John Davis, a lawyer of New York, writes the secretary of state thpt persons there are trying to sell a client of his 5,000 acres in Lanrens county on a title derived from a grant to George Nay lei’ on January sth, 171*5- The grant purports to have been made to George Nayler by the governor of Georgia, and the endorsement states that it is recorded in book I, page 625. Secretary Candler turned to book I, page 625 and found a grant of 250 acres by George the Third, through James Habersham, president of the council, to Isaac Ford. The date is not 1795 but 1774, 20 years before, when Georgia had no governor. The alleged grant to Nayler is therefore a palpable forgery.
