Bt Tetograpk to the Moraine Star. . J .
I Washington, May 5. The open ses
sion of the Senate o-day was devoted to
the Sundry Civil Appropriation bill,
which was not completed up to the time
of adjournment. r
; One of the amendments to the bill,
offered by Mr. Wilson, of Washington,
provoked considerable civil service dis
cission. It required the appointment of
commissioners to classify Northern 'Pa
cific lands in the Northwest, "by and
with the consent of the Senate."
I Mr. Gorman urged that this was an
effort to take the offices oat of the civil
service. ' The amendment was finally
modified and adopted so that the ap
pointees shall be confirmed by the Sen
ate, and all be divided between the po
litical parties. Mr. Gorman remarked
that he hoped the provision as to due
recognition of the political parties would
be carried out in good faith. In certain
reeent appointments no attention had
been paM to such provisions. Commit
toners had been appointed, be said,
withont reference to their party loyalty
and party interests.
I Mr. Morgan offered an amendment
appropriating 150,000 for the improve
ment of Pearl haroor, Hawaii. It was
agreed to. -
i Mr. Pettigrew, of South Dakota, of
fered an amendment authorizing trie
President to suspend the order of Presi
dent Cleveland withdrawing millions of
acres from the public domain and consti
tuting them forest reserves. The amend
ment also proposed an appropriation of
$150 000 for surveys of these lands,
i Mr. Pettigrew added that assurances
had been given he would not say lrom
whom that if the amendment was
adopted the , President would suspend
toe order. In response to a statement
by Mr. Gorman tnat a point of order
would be made against tne amendment,
Mr. Pettigrew declared thu if the
amendment went out on a point of or
der be would see that the pending bill
did not piss until some relief was given
as to the orders creating forest reserva
tions. .. I
Final action on the amendment was
deferred. -1
At 5 10 p. m. the Senate adjourned.

The Athens correspondent of the

attack at Velestino. the Turks attacked
the Greek outposts at Tatar, near Phar
salos. - It is said , that both attacks have
been repulsed by the Greeks. General
Smolenskl says: "The brigade at Veles
tino is delnged with blood."
Athins, May 5. An American man-of-war
has joined the international
squadron at Phaterum. .
The Greek Government has protested
to the Powers against the acts of violence
and rapine being committed by thol
Turks in Thessaly.
London, "May 5. A dispatch to the
Times lrom Constantinople savs that the
spccial.and extraordinary expenses of the
War Department from March 18th, 1895,
to April 13th, 18tf7, were three and a
half million pounds sterling.
LONDON, May 6 The Athens cor
respondent of the Daily Telegraph un
der date of Wednesday, savs :
"Following is the official dispatch from
Major Ballis, chief of staff of the Greek
forces in Thessily, describing the fight
ing at Pharsalos : : .
"Tne Turks attacked our advance
posts at 8 o'clock. Since yesterday the
enemy's movement had indicated an in
tention to cnt off our left wing, and to
day they attacked our front. Oar ad
vance posts retreated, as they were
fighting against very much ' superior
numbers and took up a position in front
of our right wing. : .
"An artillery duel ensued along the
extensive line. The enemy's infantry
advanced in perfect order at three points
and in large numbers, but they were
speedily checked by our infantry.
"The respective losses are as yet on
known. The Crown Prince took a very
active part in the combat, and advanced
within range of the Turkish fire, greatly
inspiring the men. Prince Nicholas was
equally active at tne rignt wing., and
directed the fire of his battery against
the Turkish batteries. - His coolness
greatly encouraged the troops.
"We maintain all our positions intact,
and the engagement will certainly be
continued to-morrow (Thursday.) We
calculate that about 15,000 Turks at
tacked our wing. They rushed down the
hill slopes in vast numbers. The enemy
was our superior in both artillery and
cavalry, the calibre of their guns was
larger, while their number was almost
double ours. We bad no cavalry,: be
cause our only squadron has been used
for scouting and had gone to Trikkala.'
LoNDdN, May 5. The correspondent
of the Daily Telegraph at Volo, under
date of Wednesday, says : "The biggest
battle of the war began near Velestino
this morning. As a result of it the
Turkish force of 40.000 men has been
repulsed. The Turkisn plan was to
seize the hills on the north, dividing
Pharsalos from Velestino." -
Athens. May S. The Greek fleet has
captured, at the entrance of the Gulf of
Salonica, a schooner in which Sir Ellis
Ashmead Bartlett, the Anglo- American
member of Parliament, recently visited
the Turks. The vessel will be taken to
the Piraeus for examination.
Larissa, May 8. (Delayed in trans
mission.) Two batteries of howitzers
arrived here this evening from Elas
sona, and fourteen battalions of in
fantry, four squadrons of cavalry and
four batteries of artillery bave been
sent to reinforce the Turkish troops
fighting at Velestino. The victory of
the Turks seems assured. The pris
oners taken report that the population,
including -that of Volo, is disposed to
sabmit, and from various sources it is
learned that' the Greeks are badly de
moralized and diicantented with" the
Crown Prince and his officers. We
are awaiting a definite result at Veles
tino before making a general advance.
The soldiers who were wounded in
the first engagement at Velestino are
now coming in to the hospitals of
Larissa. The la ter are well organized
with the materials which the Greeks
abandoned.
The Inhabitants of Larissa denounce
the commander of the Greek troops,
and even accuse him of treason. They
hope for an early intervention upon the
part of the powers in order to prevent
the complete ruin of the country.
It is stated here that the Crown
Prince of Greece ordered Larissa to be
burned, previous to evacuating the
place. But, it is said, there was no
time to carry out his instructions.
The Turks claim that the , fighting
which has taken place at Velestino and
in which they are said to have been re
pulsed, was merely a reconnoisance In
forces, and its object, that of finding out
the strength of the enemy, being
achieved, the officers had the utmost
difficulty in inducing the men to retire.
They were obliged, it is claimed, to
threaten them, and even then they conld
not prevent the Turks, in defiance, from
singing during the withdrawal, the men
declaring they were challenging the
Greeks and persisting in singing in order
to secure, if possible a renewal of the
fighting. , :
There was a striking feature In Fri
day's cavalry charge. Col. Mahmound
Bey was fired upon by a Greek officer,
who sent fonr bullets from his revolver in
the direction of the Turkish officer.
Mahmonnd Bey then galloped ahead of
his men and with one fierce blow with
his sword completely severed, the Greek
officer's head from his body.
The beat here is tremendous, bat the
troops are suffering without any com
plaint and the doctors are greatly im
pressed with the wonderful vitality, of
the wonnded Turks, One Turkish sol
dier who was shot in the stomach re
mained in the ranks and - afterward
walked ten miles. Another Turkish
soldier who was wounded twice in the
legs and once in the shoulder continued
attending to his duties for 34 hours,
until an officer noticed his condition
and ordered him to the boipitaL The
wounded men recover with wonderful
rapidity. This is attributed to the ab
stemious lives of the Turks, The Sultan
has sent a number ofjlandaus lor the nse
of the wounded. -
The Greek priests hold regular ser
vices here, and the town 1 perfectly
quiet. .
Larissa, May 5. Six divisions of
Torkish troops bave marched forward
to Pharsalos, and it is understood here
that the Porte has given Edhem Pasha
a free hand. - - " -
