{STRATEGIC PLANS OF THE MOS¬
LEMS PROVE SUCCESSFUL.
GREEKS DRIVEN TOWARDS ATHENS.
Smolenski, Who Is Cut Off, Will Be
Compelled to Fight for Freedom
Or Annihilation.
Edhem I’asha, the Turkish comman¬
der-in-chief in Thessaly, has sent the
following dispatch to the minister of
war at Constantinople:
“The imperial army while marching
to Pharsalos mot the enemy in the vil¬
lages of Soubathi, Souledji, Turcoman-
li and Lamia. After a severe engage¬
ment, lasting fifteen hours, we dis¬
lodged them from their positions and
advanced to Pharsalos, which the im¬
perial army has just victoriously oc¬
cupied.”
A London cable dispatch says:
Evidently it was Edhem Pasha’s
ability to cut in between the two
Greek armies which led to the speedy
tetreats which were the beginning of
the end. The Greek accounts say that
both retreats were orderly, but such
news comes only from official sources
in Athens, which are not exactly re¬
liable.
j It is just possible, so far from being
orderly, they may both have ended in
a panic, as was the case at Larissa.
Edham Pasha will almost certainly
follow to prevent General Smolenski
from rejoining the main army.
Iu any event, General Smolenski is
now cut off from all chance of em¬
barking on the Greek vessels at Volo.
He must either surrender to the Turks
or endeavor to reach Larissa by the
difficult mountain paths, so that ev¬
erything indicates that Greece will be
compelled to sue for peace in order to
save the remnant of her army from
destruction. The absence of Greek
cavalry at Pharsalos left the Greeks
in complete ignorance of the move¬
ments of the Turks and it is another
illustration of the general incompe¬
tency of the Greek staff.
General Smolenski has admitted
that long habits of guerrilla warfar.e
have made the Greek army helpless
against modern military strategy. It
is now believed that the end would
come much sooner, but for the difficul¬
ty the Turks have experienced in bring¬
ing adequate supplies of ammunition

night. cold
The fire was in the large storage
Warehouse of the Merchants’ Refrig¬
erating company, and it was the
fumes of ammonia and the heaviest
of smoke that struck down men by
the dozen.
The call for ambulances was as rapid
as the call for engines. The dead
fireman is John Reinhard, of Engine
Company 7.
Fireman John Reinhard, missed his
way in leaving the cellar, and was
finally taken out unconscious. He
died in an ambulance on the way to a
•hospital.
Those overcome, some of whom are
in a serious condition, include mem¬
bers of a dozen of companies that were
called out as reserves, when Chief
Bonner found he was losing his men on
every hand.
The fire was an unusual one and is
estimated to have done damage to
the extent of at least half a million.

AFTER DISPENSARY MEN.
Investigations \
lleault In the Issuance of
Warrants.
T. J. Williams, a member of the
South Carolina state board of control,
has sworn out warrants against S. W.
Scruggs, chief clerk of the dispensary,
and Col. John T. Gaston, ex-commis-
sioner of the dispensary.
This is the result of investigations
by the attorney general, the testimony
showing that Scruggs had taken from
a trunk which was seized by constables
four boxes of cigars and several cans
of peaches. The trunk was the prop¬
erty of Wm. Beokroge, of Savannah,
who went to Charleston about a month
ago to get married and carried a trunk
full of wine and whisky, cigars, canned
peaches, oranges, etc.
United States Judge Simonton de¬
clared the seizure illegal and when
Beckroge demanded his trunk and
contents they were gone.
The trunk was sold to Legislator
Garris, but the board decided that
was a perfectly legitimate transaction,
but could not stand the idea of em¬
ployees appropriating the cigars and
things to their own use.
Gaston got a few cigars, some or¬
anges and a pair of shoes out of the
trunk, but after the whole matter was
ventilated he paid for them. decapitated
Scruggs has been as
chief clerk and W. H. Lawrence, an
expert bookkeeper, was appointed in
his place.
REVOKED CLEVELAND'S ORDER.

The senate Thursday agreed to an
amendment to the sundry civil bill re-
voking the order of President Cleve-
land, made on February 22d last, es-
tablishing forest reservations aggre-
gating 17,000,000 acres. criti-
The debate brought out mucb

Mr. Gray, of Delaware, defended
the course of the president, pointing
out that it was the result of an inquiry
authorized by congress and conducted
by the National Academy of Science.
Mr. Allison endeavored to have the
amendment restricted so as to leave

GOVERNOR SEIZES THE ROAD.
Richards & Co. Fall to Pay Rental for
Northeastern.
Governor Atkinson, of Georgia, has
taken possession of the Northeastern
railroad, forty miles long and running
from Athens to Lula, ou the Southern
railway. Richards & Co.,
The lessees, E. A.
defaulted in the last quarter’s rent and
Governor Atkinson, after having giving
the lessees three days of grace, signed
an order taking possession and nam¬
ing R. K. Reeves state agent to take
charge of the road, subject to orders
from the executive department.
This effectually disposes of the
twenty-year lease held by Richards &
Co., and makes the sale of the prop¬
erty by the state an easy matter. The
long lease was a serious impairment of
the marketable value of the road,
which has been ordered sold at an
early date by the legislature.

FAILED TO GET TWO-THIRDS VOTE
IN THE SENATE.
II FEELING OF RELIEF AT RESULT.
The Vote Taken In Executive Session Was
40 to 35, and Was Preceded by a Short
But Slrited Debate.
The muchly discussed arbitration
treaty is now a thing of the past. The
senate voted upon it Wednesday and
it failed of ratification by a vote of 46
to 25.
A number of the senators who final¬
ly cast their votes in favor of ratifica¬
tion join in this feeling of satisfaction.
They voted for ratification at last be¬
cause they believed the many amend¬
ments which had previously been
adopted eliminated the bad features of
the original product of the Salisbury
brain and left nothing that could be
harmful, and while they considered
this relic useless, they were willing to
vote for ratification in response to the
arbitration sentiment.
There were twenty-six senators of
those present who believed that no
good could come from ratification and
that « veu ^ tbe trea ‘V contained pos-
sibilities , of harm, lliey fought rati-
fication to the end.
The vote showed that the treaty did
n0 ‘ have the requisite two-thirds vote,
Now that it is over, everybody feels
relieved and perhaps a good majority
” f tbe senators are glad the end came
* 1 tbe way it did.
The vote was preceded by a short,
spirited debate, introduced by Senator
Mills, of Texas, who made a strong
appeal to the senate against ratifying
the agreement. He asserted that as
amended the document was most ob-
jectionable, not to say contradictory,
in terms.
He pointed out especially the pro¬
visions for the settlement of contro-
versies in regard to territorial claims
aIK ‘ asserted that whereas the amend-
ment adopted by the senate to the first
article of the treaty declared against
their inclusion, the sixth and eighth
made provision for them. He
‘bat as long as these articles re¬
aine<1 unchanged England could
justly claim that questions of territo-
r ‘ai rights were still included within
the scope of the treaty. Under such
circumstances, he asked, what was to
prevent England from purchasing the
island of Cuba or any other American
territory, and iii case of objection on
the part of the United States insisting
upon the reference of the dispute to
arbitration.
One Cause of the Defeat.
Senator Davis, chairman of the com¬
mittee on foreign relations, declined
to express an opinion for publication,
but talked freely with his friends.
To them he attributed the defeat to
the feeling of dissatisfaction at Eng¬
land’s course in the struggle of the
Greeks to liberate the island of Crete
from Ottoman dominion and in the |
Armeniau massacres, and with the evi-
dent design of Great Britain upon the |
Transvaal.
At the conclusions of the proceed- i
ings, all of which were in executive
session, the senate refused to author-
ize the publication of the details.
SILVER MEN LEFT OFF.
Republican Senators Hold Caucus and
Adopt Committee Report.
A Washington special says: The
republican senators held a caucus Wed¬
nesday and adopted the report of the
committee on committees.
A number of important changes are
made in the list. Hanna, Penrose and
Deboe were not made chairmen of
committees.
None of the silver republicans are
cared for, but Kyle, of South Dakota,
is included as though he was a repub¬
lican. In cases where chairmen are
now silver republicans the places are
left blank as well as the places on com¬
mittees which they occupy.
Florida Senatorial Ballots.
The Florida joint assembly took two
ballots for United States states senator
Wednesday. The first resulted: Call,

RESOLUTION FOR ARBITRATION.
Bacon, of Georgia, Introduces Measure
To Offset Defect of Treaty.
As a sequel to the defeat of the
Anglo-American treaty of arbitration,
Mr. Bacon, of Georgia, introduced a
joint resolution in the senate Thurs¬
day, deprecating war aud announcing
the policy of the government favorable
to arbitration.
The resolution was in effect “That
the United States of America depre¬
cate war and desire the maintenance
of peace and friendship with all the
world, and that this desire is not lim¬
ited to their relations with any one
nation, but extends to their relations
with all the nations, whether the same
be great or small, strong or weak.”
RENEWAL OF TRIPLE ALLIANCE.
Germany Persuades Italy Not To Use

the powers constituting the triple
alliance was renewed Thursday for a

The right to withdraw, under the
terms of the original agreement, ex¬
pired on May 6th, and Germany has
succeeded in persuading Italy not to

LIST OF DEAD INCREASES.
The Paris Tragedy Grows In Horror as
Investigations Are Made.
Advices of Wednesday regarding the
Parisian holocaust state that it is now
estimated that there were in the neigh-
borhood of 1,200 persons in the build-
iug when the fire was discovered,
About one-half escaped unhurt.
Some estimates place the number of
dead at 143, others at a still higher
figure. be
The catastrophe will always re¬
membered as one of the most fearful
that ever befell a European city.
Nothing comparable in loss of life
has ever occurred there except the fire
which destroyed the Opera Comique
in 1887. Singularly enough, that dis¬
aster happened in the same month of
the year, and eighty persons were
burned to death, while forty-five were
officially registered as missing.
In aristocratic circles the number¬
less dinner parties and other func¬
tions of a gayly opening season have
been abandoned.
The amount of administrative neg¬
ligence surrounding the catastrophe
is almost inconceivable. The struc¬
ture was so combustible that many of
the victims, if not most of them, must
have been burned alive without suffo¬
cation. No sort of inspection seems
to have been made in advance by the
municipal or police authorities, or by
the prefect of police.
The staff of the hotel Du Palais lent
valuable assistance and saved 150 per¬
sons through a barred window over¬
looking the bazaar where, while the
hotel employees were removing the
bars, they saw three persons burned
to death. 1

About Paper.
It is a strange fact that while paper
is being used for dozens of purposes
formerly monopolized by wood, or
even a harder material, such as car
wheels, boxes, barrels, tubs, pails,
etc., wood is rapidly driving other in¬
gredients to the wall in the manufact¬
ure of nearly all the cheaper grades of
paper.
Paper floors are manufactured at
Eiusledein, Germany. In the form of
a pasty mass the paper is spread upon
the surface to be covered and submit¬
ted to pressure. It behaves like ples-
ter of paris, and is said to be noiseless
under the foot, and particularly effect¬
ive in preserving a uniform tempera¬
ture. Having no joints, it presents a
perfectly smooth surface.
