The republicans of the senate finance commute will present the amended Dingley tariff bill to the full conunttee the first f next week, and the dsue upon which the bill will be reported to the senate depends entirely upoi the tactics of the democratic members of Ae committee. They say that they have no Intention of delaying the re porting of the bill longer than Is neces sary for them to digest the amendments, but there are circumstances which hive aroused the suspicion that they do n it Intend to hurry themselves In "digest ing" the amendments. However. It Isn't exactly fair to accuse them in advance. Republicans generally arc pleased that the Kentucky legislatui-e his elected a republican senator, but those from Kentucky who tu applicants for f.Hleral offices are especially pleased. boenus-i U Kentucky appointments had been held up on account of the legis lative deadlock. Althougil the vote of Senator Peboe will nrnt make a repub oan majority In the senate and was not needed to assure the passage of the Dingley tariff bill, he will get a warm wvlcome from his republican colleagues In that body. Both branches of cnitrres9 met yes terday, but In accordance with the agreement made lost week adjourned without transacting any business, un til Monday. There was not a large attendance In either .house or senate, as many senators and reprecentarives have not yet returned from New York.

This rule was made to t' at Lo gan Carlisle, who was chief clerk, could examine every Important official letter sent out by the treasury while his father was secretary. Secretary Gage couldn't see that any good pur- r pose was sorved by auoh a meth.-id, so he prom!ly aMlxlied fhe rule as soon as hit attention was called to It, and the present Chief clerk Is mighty glad of W, as he thinks he has quite enough to do without attempting to supervise all the official corresporid'w;.

I simply want the government to do iU duny by the o!d soldiers, the men who saved this nation. I want to grant to them luch pensions as the law allows.

The representatives cf Hawaii In Washington have become alarmed at the flaih that Is being made on the reciprocity treaty, and Mr. Thurston, who is hi this country as a special ooni- mtsskioer from the government of Ha waii, has presented a long and carefully prepared wait em -Mi to the senate finance oommitue opposing abrogation of the treaty. According to Mr. Thurston, the debtor and credit columns between the Pnlted States and Hawaii since he reciprocity treaty has been in effect stands as follows: Hawaiian duties re mitted on American products $21,000,000; profits made by Americans frrn freights, commissions, ship building. In surance, sugar, and merchandKng $32. 2il.39. existing property acquired by Americans f 3.73l,54t, making a total of the accrued berfits to the United Slates of M15.WI.940.

The crown prince having ordered the army to draw up In Une of battle, the Greeks advanced about 2 p. m. The Turks, numbering 30,404, immediately descended the slopes of Mount Tekke and planted batteries, which began to bombard the Greek regiments.

The Turks continued to advance tint'.', they had come Into close quarters, and then thj crown prince decided b re:Ire to a more com manding pocitioa. All the ammunition and supplies uave (been transported to Domokos, on the height of which the Greek batteries were prepared for actl"n.

The annuel me;l:ig o the Priror-aee League toik place to day. In tiii address Prime Minister Salisbury dwelt at length upon the the Graeco-Turkish war and the con cert of Europe, the main obteot or which, he said, was to prevent a Eu ropean war, adding that the belief pre vailed that all danger of such a war was Anally dissipated and that the peace of Europe, apart from local con flict, had been placed on a better basis and they had' better hope tn its i access than ever before. Her majesty's gov ernment, the premier also said, would do its best to end bloodshed. In his concluding references to the war, the marquis said: "The opening of the Eastern question was greatly dreaded, but It has now come to be a nlgfhtmare. There has been great fear that any outbreak tn the southeast of Europe might lead to a general blase, but It Is to be hoped that the danger is past and that we may look calmly on the large Interest In volved. "It may be thai Turkey has exhibited proofs of strength wtilch none suspect ed, and perhaps a better future Is pen to the dominions of the sultan. Their government may have improved or It may be the empire will collapse, as many nave before. In either case we are justified In believing that all changes will be conducted Under the sanction of peaceful deliberations." Referring to South Africa, the Mar quis of Salisbury declared that the Lon don congress must be observed. HARD FIGHTING. Athens. Ma;.- 6.-6 p. m.
