THE TURKS REPULSED.
Tk Omki Held Xante On
at Tele.
. tin Junction.
Athens, May 8. A telegram just re
oeired here says a great battle has been
fought at Velestino', between a Turkish
force of 8,000 and General Smolensky's
brigade.. The dispatch states that the
. repeated charges of the Turks were re
pulsed with enormous losses.
The headquarters staff of the Greek
army at Pharsala has been completely
changed. General Maoris and Colonels
Saponulzakis, M astro pas . and An-
toniades have resigned and started for
Athens. '
. Battle Raged All Day.
Athens, May S. The battle of Vel
estino raged fiercely from sundown un
til 10 o'clock this morning. The
Greeks have been reinforced, the rein
forcements arriving at a critical stage
of the fight. General Smolensk! tele
graphs that the Turks will be nnable
to capture Pharsala because the Greek
position is strong and the morale of the
Greek troops completely restored.
Why the Turkish Attack Bailed.
London, May 8. The Chronicle's
correspondent at Pharsala telegraphs:
The Turks attacked Velestino Junc
tion Tuesday night with' four squadrons
of cavalry and a battery of horse ar
tillery. The large force of Greeks beat
the Turks off, but not before they had
displaced half a dozen rails and cut
the wires. The latter were repaired
and on Wednesday the train service was
resumed.
Fighting was renewed Wednesday
night, but without special results. : On
'Xbursday night, the Turks assembled
in great force in the direction of Veles
tino. The Turks made an attack before
dawn, but were successfully repulsed.
Three times in the course of the morn
ing was the attack repeated, each time
from a different direction, and each
time the result was a -repulse. Ap
parently it was intended that the at
tacks should be simultaneous, but this
plan failed, owing to lack of proper or
ganization. The Turks, however,
pushed the attack with the utmost de
termination for six hours, and only
abandoned the attempt to seize the
junction about noon.
The Greeks behaved well. The third
brigade and artillery particularly dis
tinguished themselves under General
Smolenski. The Turkish losses were
heavy. The Greek loss was much
lighter. Colonel Janninosta, with the
Eighth regiment, pursued the- Turks
several miles.
Full-grown and mature men, well
armed, though without uniforms, are
arriving here with every train. They
are supplied with ammunition. The
transport service is improving rapidly.
Heliograph and night watohing signals
have been established, covering the en
tire territory occupied by the forces.
An excellent spirit animates the men,
who work hard from 5 in the morning
until 7 in the evening, besides sleep
ing on their arms at night.
The Turks Claim It.
Constantinople, May 8. The Turk
ish government has issued the follow
ing announcement: "Far from being
repulsed at Velestino, the imperial
troops continued their victorious march
forward. " '
Another Retreat Probable.
London, May 8. -The Times corre
spondent at -Athens sayBi "The news
from Thessaly is unfavorable. Fight
ing at Velestino was resumed this morn
ing. The Greek right repelled vigor
ous cavalry charges, but their left was
compelled to retire. It ig feared their
position at Pharsala will be outflanked,
thus compelling a retreat to Demokos.
Turkey's Term of Peace. . -
New York, May 8. A World special
from Washington says: The terms of
peaoe whioh Turkey has offered Greece
have reached the Washington legation.
They re as follows: ;
The restoration of' the boundary fixed
by the treaty of 1831, which gave to
Turkey all of Thessaly, including its
extensive seaooast; the evacuation by
Greece of Prevesa and other points in
the province of Epirus; the withdrawal
of Greek troops from' Crete and the
acceptance of the plan of autonomy
offered the island by the porte, and the
payment of a war indemnity large
enough to cover the' expense of the
mobilizing of the Turkish troops.
Both Want to Fight.
London, May 8. It is semi-offlcially
stated that there is reason to believe
that European intervention between
Turkey and Greece in the present posi
tion of affairs is regarded as wholly im
practicable, both Greece, and Turkey
having resolved to continue the war.
The powers are thus obliged to stand
aside until one of the combantants is
finally defeated '" ' '" ' :' '
Americans Had the Advantag-a.;
London, May 8. In the h6useot
commons today the presidetnt of Uie
board of trade, C. T, Ritchie, replying
to Sir Charles Howard Vincent, con
servative and free trader, said the gov
ernment was not prepared to compel
companies applying for new railway
charters to buy their equipment in the
United Kingdom. In the case of the
Waterloo City railway, Mr. Eitchie
added, twenty-two cars had been or
dered in America, because out of seven
English firms tendering bids for the
worr, not one wag able to deliver the

road company.
Aged Woman Tortured by Thieves.
Sisterville, W. Vs.. May 8.-Last
night Mrs. Shook, an aged lady living
at Adonis, was tortured and robbed by
a negro and white man, who forced an
entrance into her home. The fiends
brutally beat her bare feet with switch
es, burned them with candles, and also
burned the hair from her head and
roasted one ear. The woman finally
told where her money was hidden, and
the robbers secured $500 and escaped.
The woman will probably die.

A CO-OPERATIVE SCHEME.
Chleags reemployed Prop to March
to rub.
unicago, Aiay 8. ine Kecord says:
Another movement similar to that
which General Coxey organised a few
years ago, and which is designed to take
an army of unemployed men on a long
trip across the country, is being quietly
organised, and it is said that in June
it will "move," having its starting
point in this city.
it diners from tnat which was pro
ductive of the famous "keep-off -the-grass"
by-term, in that it does not hare
the national capital as its objective'
point, and it is not designed to ask, the
national government for aid for any
one. If the present plans are carried
out, when the "army" reaches the end
of its destination it will at once go to
work as a co-operative commonwealth,
and the leaders will attempt to prove
that the working people can provide for
themselves out of the abundance of the
earth without dividing the products of
their labor.
. It is said that with the adjournment
of the convention of the American
Railway Union, which will meet in
this city in June, the time will have
arrived for the order to march, and it
is further said ;that President E. V.
Debs and other men prominent in rail
road organizations are among the prime
movers in the scheme. Utah is to be
the haven of rest, and once there every
man will be on an equal looting with
his neighbor. There will be no city
councils to do business with when pub
lio improvements are needed and the
people decide to make them. The
people will do this themselves.
It is said that figures have been gath
ered which show that there are now
100,000 men and women out of employ
ment in Chicago. It is not expected
that anywhere, near this number will
make the trip to Utah, but it is be
lieved by men prominent in the move
ment that the army will move with
several thousand men, and that it will
pick up more on the way.
It is proposed to organize the co
operative commonwealth along the same
lines as those laid down by the social
ists, the means of production and dis
tribution are to . be the common, prop
erty of the community, and may be
used by any member thereof.
Whether the proposition will be sub
mitted to the convention of the railroad
organization has not been decided, but
it said that H is more than likely it
will be.
SPEED WAS TOO GREAT.:
Reason Assigned by Jury for
Portland
. : Street-Car Accident.
Portland, Or., May 8. The coroner's
jury impaneled Wednesday to hold an
inquest over the bodies of Catherine
Baillie, Newton Hansen.W.W. Blanch
ard and M. C. Benninger, who died
from the effects of injuries received in
the street-car accident on East Morrison
street last Tuesday, rendered a verdict
yesterday afternoon in whioh they
found that the accident was mainly due
to the high rate of speed traveled by
oar No. 63 at the time of the accident.
An opinion was also expressed in the'
verdict that the forward axle of the
front truck was broken at the reverse
curve, where the car showed indica
tions of having first left the rails.
Muoh evidence was taken during the
day from both persons on the car at the
time, and from others familiar with
mechanics and the track on East Mor
rison street. ' . . .
The majority of those on , the oar
stated that it was traveling faster than
is permitted by the city ordinances.
One witness, Mr. Philip Flood, who
stood on the front platform ; with the
motorman, stated that the car was not
going faster than was customary at that
point, and that it was thoroughly un
der the motorman's control until the
curve was reached.

FISHERMEN DROWNED.
Oae Canalaed la the Breakers
Clatsop Spit.
Astoria. Or.,. May - . The first
drowning of the fishing season occurred
about 8 o'clock this morning, when one
of Seaborg's boats capsized in the
breakers near Clatsop spit. In the boat
were John Hendrickson and his boat
puller, August Koshela. The wind
was blowing heavily at the time, and
when Hendrickson's boat overturned
few men had their nets out. The boat
nearest the capsized craft went to its
assistance, and succeeded in rescuing
tne Doatpuller, but Hendrickson sank,
It is probable the body will never be re
covered. The deceased was a Russian
Finn, about 85 years old, and unmar
ried. He had lived in this country
eight years, and had a brother and sis
ter living in Astoria.
News was received here late this af
ternoon of the finding of a body of an
other fisherman. One of Kinney's boats
drifted up on Long Beach, near Ocean
Park. The net was fast to the boat.
and tangled in the web was the body of
the unfortunate man. His name was
not learned. It is probable the boat
puller was also lost.
It is reported tonight that one of
Booth's boats capsized this afternoon
near Clatsop spit, and that both captain
and boatpuller drowned. The report
is evidently true, although neither the
number of the boat nor the names of
the men were given. The report was
brought up by a fisherman, who had
learned nothing more.
-TOUGH ON AMERICANS.
Alien Miners In Rossland May Hate to
Become British Cltiaens.
Rossland, B. C, May 8. The pro
posed law as to alien miners having to
declare intentions to become citizens
before they can take out a miner's cer
tificate is causing much talk here, and
there are still hopes that it will not be
come a law, although it has passed the
legislature. Strong petitions against
it are going up from all parts of British
Columbia, the principal' argument be
ing that without American energy the
mining .wealth of the country would
nofhave been discovered, and without
it this wealth cannot be developed.
Eighty-three Americans today applied
for miner's licenses at a fee of 5 each
per annum, some for one year, some for
two, and some for three years. There
are many prospectors from the Ameri
can side who have previously taken Out
licenses lor several years, and these,
the new law, if it becomes a law, will
not be able to touoh. There will prob
ably be a rush of American miners at
other points to get miners' certificates
before the law is signed.
THE GUTHRIE CALAMITY.
FIto More Bodies Recovered
From
the Debris.
Kansas City, May 8. A special to
the Times from Guthrie, O. T., says:
Five more bodies were recovered from
the debris left by Wednesday's storm
in West Guthrie. The bodies of
George Owen and Mrs. Charles Ruffins
were found on the west bank of the
river. The bodies of Henry Simmons
and Mrs. Watson and child were found
under a pile of hay near the Cimarron.
Mrs. Watson had her child clutched to
her breast, in which position both met
death. Scores of organized searching
parties are at work, but progress is
slow,- since tons of debris must be dug
over in the search. It is believed the
rushing waters of the Cimarron conoeal
many corpses. The Cimarron is two
miles north, and when the flood came
the waters of the Cottonwood joined it.
The Cimarron's bottom contain! Quick
sand, and it is one of the most treacher
ous streams in the country. It flows
into the Arkansas in Pawnee county,
and it is believed several bodies, if not
buried in the sand, have been carried to
the Arkansas, which is also very high,

Malarial Fever.
This disease also called fever and
ague Is best described as a periodical
lever. Its chief characteristic Is not
so much the nature of the single at
tacks as the peculiar manner of thstr
repetition. The two principal types
of malaria are Intermittent fever, and
remittent fever. The Intermittent type
Is characterized by recurring attacks,
la which, as a rule, chill, fever and
sweating follow each other In orderly
sequence. One generally knows a few
hours beforehand, by unpleasant sen
sations, and sometimes by headache,
that a chill Is approaching. The entlrti
duration of an attack Is usually from
twelve to fifteen hours.
The periodicity of the attacks is most
striking; they occur with regularity at
the end of twenty-four, forty-eight or
seventy-two hours. During the Inter
vening period the patient feels pretty
well, and except In unusually severe
cases Is able, to be about. The remit
tent type of the disease has no distinct
Intermissions of the fever; the temper
ature Ik constantly above the normal,
though marked remissions occur.
Malaria Is caused by the presence In
the blood of a parasite, s minute or
ganism which can be seen only by the
aid of a microscope. The natural his
tory of this parasite Is not known; noi
do we know how the organism enters,
or how or In what form It leaves the
human body. .It Is known, however,
that these organisms are always pres
ent In the blood of a person suffering
from malaria, and that they disappear
with the disappearance of the symp
toms, or with the administration of
quinine. Low, marshy regions, with
abundant vegetation, badly drained
low-lying districts, old river courses,
tracts of land which are rich In vee
table matter, and particularly dis
tricts which have been allowed to fall
out of cultivation, are favorite locali
ties for the development of the ma
larial poison.
, In regions where malaria constantly
prevails. It occurs most frequently lu
spring and autumn; In temperate re
gions It Is at Ita worst In September
and October. Wherever It prevails the
drinking water should be boiled, and
unnecessary exposure to the night air
should be avoided. Youth's Coinpau

Wives Sold at Auction.
There Is a town on Vancouver Isl
and overlooking the Pacific Ocean that
is lu need of 3,000 women. The town
Is a cheerful place In Its general as
pect. Its streets are well paved, and
the climate and surroundings com
bine to maks it attractive. But there
Is s shortage of women and young
girls In this locality that begets ah air
of melancholy In the bearing of the
superfluous male Inhabitants.
The Mayor of this town Is a resource
ful man. Finding that It was Impos
sible to relieve the gloom that had
settled over his bailiwick without for
eign aid, he raised a fund to Import
a carload of marriageable women from
the East A hundred young women
comprised the first consignment to this
center of high-pressure bachelorhood.
The town received the , newcomers
with open arms. A reception followed
by a "bargain sale" sf wives acted like
a tonic on the despairing community.
Men who had begun to fear that a
long Journey must precede the chance
to wed found'" a "honeymoon" Within
their reach. The bidding was spirit
ed. In some Instances ereat bargains
were obtained,-a forlorn bachelor ob
taining- a better half at actually panic
prices. , . One man had a life partner
knocked down to him before he had
been Introduced to her.
There was not a large amount of
money Involved In this curious sale.

to Indulge In the luxury of spinster-
hood If she so desired. A man with
$iuo to spend at the auction was In a
position to make his own choice prac
tically. Beauty was at a premium,
and frequently caused very lively com
petition. On the whole, the experi
ment was a great success, and the
town has taken on an air of gayety that
it sadly needed. The number of wed
dings since the auction has been suffi
ciently great to encourage the town
In the effort to obtain another carload
of spinsters from the East New York

Dnwulug, Hopkins A Company's Review
t of Trade.
With a large cusli demand for wheat
at all points, with stocks being reduced
to a lower point than in years by the
end of tho crop, and with prospects for
an average crop of winter wheat very
pour, it is enough to warrant the nmin
tvtmnooe of proacnt values, and aUo
the prevalence of good prices for wheat
for the coining twelve months.. 'How
high prices will go depends on three
things speculation, crop prospects,
and tho war. ' There will be a short
crop of winter wheat for the third con
sesutivo year The conditions are also
uncertain for as largo ati acreage of
spring as was exjiected earlier in the
season, owing to the wet weather and
the lutein's of the seeding in some sec
tions, High prices, however, will
stimulate farmers in tho Northwest to
got in as large an. acreage as pos
sible. There Iihh been a good deal
of seeding, but in the Rod River valley,
where a largo part of the crop is grown,
there is too much water to admit of
early seeding. Kansas gives good
promise, but a change for the worse
may come. The only tilings that can
injure the crop are hot winds and sand
storms. The outlook in California is
uncertain. Reports say that Jiot winds
have deteriorated tho crop. Latest re
ports f tout France and Russia are against
a large crop of winter wheat, but in the
other foreign countries there is promise
of about an t.'.erage yield. Stocks, how
ever, are low, and consumers will go
into tho now crop with less then the
usual quantity.
Greece and Turkey are not important
factors as wheat growers, the former
raising 4.800,000 bushels, and the lat
ter 24,000,000 bushels. Bulgaria, Ser
via, Houinaniu, and Montenegro raise
125,000,000 bushels. A liberal proper
tion of their crop is exported to the
continent. If Greeoe has a navy of
sufficient strength to prevent a free ex
port movement of wheat from these
countries, it might'mako a great differ
ence in tho supplies of the continent.
