Athens, April 27.—The excitement here is increasing, and in many quarter-S a cabinet crisis is expected. The spirits of the Athenians are rally- ing from the shock they experienced on ‘. receipt of the news of the retreat of the Greek army from Larissa to Pharsalos, and the talk of persevering with the war is more general. The newspaper comments are as a. rule more hopeful, and people are .be- ginning to recognize that the situation is not as critical as at first supposed. A‘detachment of 350 Garibaldians has left this city for Epirus, but Riccotti GENERAL MAVROMICHALIS. [’Who has succeeded General Macris as Greek commander in chief] Garibaldi remains here to organize the Italian volunteers who are constantly arriving. Advices received here from corre- spondents with the Turks at Larissa say that the quantity of military stores abandoned by the Greeks at Tyrnavo and other places proves that they did not retreat, but fled precipitately. 'The Greek government has demanded of the directors of the Thessalian rail— way that they continue the services of the Volo-Larissa railroad. If the di- rectors refuse, the government will oc-~ cupy the line with troops. Three steamers have been sent to V010 to bring away the women and children who have sought refuge there. In official circles here it is not believed that V010 is in danger at present, and the Greek fleet is relied upon to protect the port in case of necessity. Greeks Massed at Pharsalos. M. Delyannis, the Greek premier, said that neither the king nor the govern- ment had received any information from the Greek army in Thessaly be— yond the announcements that the Greek forces had been successfully concen— trated at Pharsalos, to which place they had retreated in good order, sav- ing all their artillery except the siege guns, which they had been forced to abandon. General Smolenski’s column, concern- ing which the greatest anxiety was felt, has reached Pharsalos in safety, and, the premier ad‘ded, 40,000 Greek troops are now concentrated at Pharsalos, which is a place of' considerable strength, the advisability of occupying it in Case of retreat having long been under consideration by the government. M. Delyannis said there was much needless alarm regarding the safety of Volo, adding there was no reason to fear the Turks would attempt to occu- py it. ’ The successes of the Greek troops in Epirus, M. Delyannis pointed out, were a counterpoise to the reverses in Thes- saly, and, according to unofficial infor- mation, the Greeks expected to arrive at Janina on Saturday night. The premier was convinced Athens would, remain quiet and asserted that the people had complete confidence in the king, and government. Edhem May Attack Volo. London, April 27.—A dispatch from Salonika says that Edhem Pasha, the Turkish commander in Thessaly, will probably attack the port of V010, which is crowded with panic stricken refugees from Tyrnavo and Larissa. A dis- patch has been received here from Con-- stantinople confirming the announce- [ment that the lamps of all the light- houses about the gulf of Salonika have been extinguished by order of the Turk— ish authorities and adding that the veS- sels visiting Salonika will be required to take on‘board pilots while going in and out the bay on account of the sub- merged torpedoes. . The officials of the Turkish embassy .here have received a dispatch from Constantinople, dated Sunday, reading as follows: “The imperial troops cap— tured .at Tyrnavo large quantities of rifles, ammunition,-cannon and provi— sions. The Greek prisoners were sent to Elassona. The town of Tyrnavo has been surrounded by military cordons, and detachments of Ottoman cavalry , are continually patrolling that vicinity. Eflicient measures have been taken to avoid any depredations upon the part of the' troops, whose correct conduct has excited the admiration of all for- eigners who are on the spot.” The Greek government has decided, according to a dispatch from Athens, _ that if the Greeks are defeated at Phar- , salos the army'is to retire to Thermop- , ylae and there make a final stand. ,1 A dispatch from Athens says that *- Premier Delyannis feels convinced that ”Mr—c-wx- no. ’.,. -- v. n- Athens will remain quiet. He asserted that the people had Complete confl- dence in the king and the government and assured the correspondent that turbance. . M. Delyannis, the correspondent adds, in spite of his age. and severe anxieties, appeared to be in the best of health and spirits. . vine and war were also obtained by the ~:same correspondent. The former stated ‘he had not received confirmation of the :rumor' that Dede-Agach had been .bom- Tbarded by the Greek fleet. After the destruction of Platamona and Katerina, the minister of marine said, the eastern squadron had been or- dered to find and engage the Turkish fleet, and the present location of the squadron was not known. The minis- ter did not think it necessary for the Greek warships to return to protect V010. The Daily Graphic today publishes a dispatch from Larissa. dated Thurs— day, saying that General Macris, the virtual commander in chief of the Greek forceS. has resigned and has been succeeded by General Mavromiche elis. From Turkish Headquarters. A special dispatch from the head- quarters .of the Turkish army, near Tyrnavo, Thessaly. published today, says: “I haVe just received from Edhcm Pasha confirmation of the disorderly retreat of the Greeks; Seated in a cap- tured Greek tent, he said to me in French: ’ “ ‘It is finished. NO one, however, un- derstands why the Greeks abandoned a. position naturally strong and well fortified.’ “Edhem Pasha believes the Turks would speedily have crushed the Greeks, but it is said that the Greek command- er was warned of the arrival of the Turks by a priest belonging to a Greek village, who heard the Albanian sol- diers singing. The Greeks fled south- ward, destroying bridges and leaving vast quantities of stores of barley, maize and sardines and, above all, brandy. A Turkish Officer jokingly re- marked tO me: “‘The Greek officers must live on brandy.’ “At Tyrnavo the shops were found to be empty, and the population had en- tirely disappeared. “Edhem Pasha is maintaining strict order, has posred sentinels at the doors of all the churches, ,and all the prison— ers are treated humanely.” The Talk of Intervention. Paris, April 27.—The Berlin corre- spondent of the Figaro telegraphs that it is semiofficially announced there that Greece will neither solicit nor accept the intervention of the powers and is preparing to negotiate directly with Turkey. Italian Opinion. Rome, April "27.—The Opinions says, semiofficially: “The hour is a. grave one for Greece. Her abandonment of Larissa is more than a defeat. It is a demonstration of importance, and its consequences are incalculable unless she has the courage to negotiate and with- draw her troops from Crete.” The Messagero today publishes a dis- patch from Salonika saying that the bombardment of that place by the Greek fleet is believed to be probable. Alarm at Janina. Constantinople, April 27.——The news sent from Janina, Epirus, by the for- eign consuls shows the situation there to be precarious. The consuls have bar- ricaded their residences and troops have been dispatched from Monastir against the mutinous Albanians. Organizing a Company For Greece. Dayton, 0., April 27.——Captain Otto J. Paul, formerly of the Ohio national guard, is organizing a. company to go to Greece. Seventy-five applications have been received. The many Greeks in this city are taking a lively interest in the project. England’s Position. London, April 27.—The house of c0m- mons reassembled today after the Eas— ter recess. The Liberal leader, Sir Wil- liam Vernon Harcourt, asked the gov- ernment leader, Mr. A. J. Balfour, first lord of the. treasury, whether the gov- ernment Would make a statement in regard to the- Greco-Turkish war and the policy of the government in rela— tion thereto, and whether a British force was still engaged in the blockade of the island of Crete. Mr. Balfour replied that her majes— ty’s government,. like the governments of the rest of the powers, had agreed upon an attitude of neutrality. Of course, he added, the government was desirous, so soon as a favorable op- portunity presents itself, to do what it can to offer its good offices as a me- diatar. Referring to Crete, Mr. Balfour said the powers, having assumed the occu- pation of Crete before the war, had determined that the island should be considered neutral “and the blockade maintained in order to prevent opposi— tion to their authority.

While a. government can within its territory define that which shall con- stitute a legal tender in satisfaction of contracts past and futufe it cannot by legislation fix the purchasing value of its money, for money is a commodity, and its value is determined in the mar- kets of the world under the laws of trade, and the laws of trade, like the laws of nature, are stronger and more farreaching than any constitutions or Statutes. The best money is the money of greatest purchasing power, and that money has the maximum of purchasing power which is exchangeable at par, not only in the country from whose mint it is issued, but also in the markets of the world. Confidence Makes Gold Plentiful. The gold standard does n0t restrict us to the use of gold. Our country, like every other gold standard country, uses vast amounts of Silvtr concurrently with gold. ' There is no shortcge of gold. Its pro- duction is steadiiy increasing. When confidence prevails, there is no lack of gold for currency or any other. purposes. The Wage Ear-net’s Interest.
