A dispatch from Khania today says that .111 Austrian newspaper man, Herr Pinten, who recently visited the camp of Colonel Vassos, commander of the Greek army of occupation, has been arrested there and detained under close guard. Colonel Vas~ sos remains at Alikangu. The Greek warship Nanarchos Miaulis has arri1 ed at the Piraeus, having on board 12 prisoners who were captured during a recent attack which the Turks made upon Monodendri, near Platania. Three emis- saries of the Turkish legation at Athens have been arrested in the camp of Colonel Vassos. An engagement is expected today at Menexe, on the frontier of Thessaly, in consequence of the re- enforcing of the Turkish garrison there. Teleg1ams received here from the Mace- ‘ionian frontier describe the situation as one of the utmost activity and of expecta- tion of war at an early date.

ATHENS, 1‘13 arch 21". A Plot Reported. LONDON, March 50. —A dispatch from Galatz, Boumania, says it isrepm ted there . in Greek circles that a plot is hatching among the Greeks at Constantinople, where there are 30, 000 well armed Greeks, to re- volt against the government. It is added that there are few kais .1 troops now at Constantinople except the snitan’s body- guard, and thz1 t it 11 ould be impossible to recall hurriedly the troops from the Greek frontier in the event of a revolt at Con- stantinople. A large body of Greeks which recently left Galatz, ostensibly for Greece, is now said to be really destined for Con— stantinople. A dispatch from Khania to The )ews says that the note communicated to Colo- nel Vassos by the french and Italian oili- cers yesterday did not orde1 him to 103.19 the island with his forces within 36 hours, as previously cabled, but merely informed him of the blockade and requested him not to prevent the distribution of the admirals’ proclamation. A \Varning From Servia. COXSTAV‘TIN oan, March .‘30. T he Ser- vian minister here has called the serious attention of the Turkish government to the situation of affairs existing in the province of Kossovo, where, it is asserted, the Christians are panic stricken in conse- quence of the mobilizing of the Turkish reserves and bashi bazeuks. He also drew attention to the recent attack upon the Servian and Austrian consuls in a cafe at Uskub, situated about 100 miles north- west of Salonika, and referred to the cor- rect attitude observed by Servia during the present crisis, expressing the hope that the porte would put a stop to the existing sit- uation, “a continuation of which,” it was added, “may have serious consequences ” The Turkish Officials in Epirus are for- cibly preventing the Greeks rayahs (per- sons not Mohammedans who pay the capi- tation tax) who are Ottoman subjects from leaving Epirus to join the Greek forces. Yassos’ Forces. KHANIA, March 20.—The camp of Colo- nel Vassos consists of 2,000 regulars, 500 volunteers and about 17,000 insurgents. The French colony is preparing a protest to the government at Paris against the proposed occupation of Candia by a British detachment. The only ground of protest, stated is that Candia, besides being the central telegraph station for communicat— ing with France, is also the chief trading center. Almost all of the merchants and exporters in Crete are Frenchmen. Russian Ships Brady.

The Sultan Summons 3 Council. CONSTANTINOPLE, March 20.—The sul- tan has summoned a grand council of ministers to meet shortlyat the Yildiz kiosk to consider a. scheme of reforms pro- pounded by his majesty. This, it is,re- ported, comprises a. constitution 0n the model of Iiiidhat l’asha’s and is intended to forestall any possible action of the pew ers in the diieetion of aperemptorv de- mand for better government in the 'lurk- ish provinces. A military commission is discussing the expediency of summoning the last line of reserves, which would bring the whole number under colors to more than 500,000. Additional ordnance has been sent to the Dardanelles, which are being constantly strengthened, to the _ complete neglect of the Besporus. The Ottoman hank advanced only at the last moment the. 1: ~00, 000 required by the porte for military expenses. The misery of the Turkish temps is intense. Their wages have not been paid for the last nine months, and many officers are selling their arms and uniforms to get food. Knitting lilachine “’orks Busy. FRANKLIN, N.

BERLIN,M.1rch 20.'—'rhe debate on the governments demand for extra naval credits 11 as resumed in the reichstag today. There was a large attendance of deputies, and a good many spectators were in the galleries. Prince Henry of Prussia, broth- er of. the emperor and vice admiral com- manding a division of the German fleet at Kiel, occupied a seat in the chamber. Count l’ogado1vsky-Wchner, secretary of the imperial treasury, maintained that the financial position of the treasury and the country was excellent and entirely adequate to bear the increased outlay de- manded for the needs of the navy. Herr von Vollmar, Social Democrat, condemned the whole military and naval policy of the government. The reichstag, he said. did not want to come into conflict with the government, but if such a condi— tion of things must arise it were better that the issue should be fought out now. The imperial chancellor, Prince Hohen- lohe, said that the reports that discord had arisen between himself and Admiral Holl- mann, the chief of the admiralty, were ab- solutely baseless. Admiral Hollmann, he said, had loyally informed him of all of his plans in advance of their presentation to the reichsta-g, and there had been no disagreement between them. Dr. von Bennigsen, National Liberal, strongly advocated the granting of the credits which 1110 government had asked. ITY Bil-FER Ol'l TARIFF. Free \Vool Resolution Is Likely to Cause Dissenting Reports. WASUIXGTOX, March 20.—Dissensions have arisen among the Democratic mem- bers of the ways and means committee which may result in the presentation of two minority reports on the tariff bill. Mr. Bailey of Texas, who is at the head of the minority of the committee by virtue of his position, will write the main report, but it is not improbable that some of the Democratic members will decline to sign it. Mr. Bailey differs from his Democratic colleagues radically on the subject Of free wool, and when Mr. Mclilillin and Mr. Wheeler offered amendments in the com- mittee, the former to place wool on the free list and the latter to make the maxi- mum duty colleetcd on wools not to exceed 75 per cent ad valorem, he voted against the McMillin amendmentand declined to vote on that offered by General Wheeler. Mr. Bailey takes the position that the Chi- cago platform by implication opposed free raw materials and especially free wool. the great product of the west. The plank in the Chicago platform held that the tariff duties should be levied for purposes of rev- enue, “such duties to be so adjusted as to operate equally throughout the country and not discriminate between class or sec- tion. ” This plank, other Democrats say, was most cautiously drawn with a view to ap- peasing the silver Republicans of the west, who have always supported a wool duty. £1»..- 1L4...‘ The Mississippi Floods. WASHINGTON, March 20.—Tl1e weather bureau issues the following bulletin: The heavy rainfalls will cause a continued rise in the Cumberland, Tennessee, lower Ohio and Mississippi rivers and intensify the threatened flood conditions previously an— nounced. It is probable that the floods in the lower Mississippi valley during the next ten days or two weeks will in many places equal or exceed in height those of any previous year.

Y., March 20.—-Miss Fran- ces Willard is in communication with the leading women working for philanthropy and reform, asking whether there cannot be a combination of influence whereby women throughout the country will agree to give their patronage only to the “cleaner newspapers, especially avoiding those that furnish extended accounts of prizefights.’ 'The Exhibition at Turin.
