The p jort to-day that Dr. Hopkins
, f ;t-orgia. a man of distinguished lit
erary reputation will be appointed
jlinister to Greece, is not credited by
diutant General Cowles. It is hardly
' ible, the General says, that this
appointment will be made without Sen
ator Tritc-hard's knowledge, if not his
consent. The . fact .that the present
'minister; Dr. Alexander, was appointed
. and i i edited to North Carolina without-tlwi
knowledge or consent; of ' Sen
ators Hansom and Vance, was called to
:!. it-rural's attention by the Trib
une to-night, but the information in
no wise depressed him. He is still
-ty ( ontident.
H'-n. A. Campbell, the statesman
Sst-ni Hanging Dog, Chairman of the
Mit'iK'il County Rejiublican Executive
Committee, and a confident applicant
r the. .Muvvhy Postoffice, arrived here
to-.lay. There is some dispositon . it
eeiHs, side track him and send him
as -Minister to Dahomey. He does not
take kindly to the suggestion, and will,
insist urn the Murphy . postoffice.
Wh- n last seen by the Tribune, he was
lvukinj; i ir Representative Pearson.
A story has been current here for
stveial days that the New York Jour
t al will take up the Arrington matter,
and the presence here of Mr. Campbell
and -Mis. Arl ington at the-same time
thought t be more than a coinci
tivnee. Mrs. Arringon arrived here yes-i-May
fnun New York.
It turns out that. Mr. Ransom's" resig
Katie.ii as -Minister to Mexico has not
. h-vn .accepted. The appointment of
lV!i Clayton, of Arkansas, was
am-.n- the lirst appointments made by
I resident McKinley. The nomination
uas promptly confirmed, but it does
ri t stiit Mr. Clayton's convenience to
t j to Mexico. : So, while Minister Ran-;5'-'m
is looking- after his "Northampton

derstood, will succeed Ransom as arbi

DEMOCRATIC SENATORS WANT TARIFF
BILL DISPOSED OF.
May be Reported to the Senate Next Week
and Passed by July 1st Some Schedules
Will be Materially Changed.
Washington, April 30. There is the
very best authority for the statement
that the opposition do not intend to
delay the tariff bill. The leaders of all
the elements of the opposition have
had repeated discussions of the ques
tion, and their calculations all look to
the disposal of the whole matter by the
first of Jub. They say that if there
was nothing to take into consideration
except their opposition, the bill could
be disposed-of before that. They ex
press themselves' as quite, anxious to
have the bill disposed of speedily as
are the Republican managers. One of
the leading opposition Senators declar
ed to-day that he had no doubt that
the friends of the bill would consume
a third more time in discussing it than
would the opposition.
, It is exepected that next week the va
cancies on the Senate committees will
be filled and that the sundry civil apr
propriation bill will be disposed of. If
the tariff bill is reported to the full
committee, Monday as s anticipated, it
will probably be reported to the Senate
before the close of the week, it win
then be allowed to lie over long enough
to permit the opposition to examine it
thoroughly, and meanwhle the left over
appropriation bills will be disposed or.
On some of the schedules the tariff
debate promises to be red hot, and like
the Wilson bill, when it passes the Sen
ate it will be recognized only by its
name.
TENNESSEE CENTENNIAL.

CONTEMPLATED
RALEIGH, N. C, SATURDAY MORNING. MAY 1. 1897.
I
Greeks and Turks Fought
Fiercely at Vlestino.
TURKS REPULSED HTC HEAVY LOSS
GREEKS WERE OUTNUMBERED BUT
THEIR POSITION WAS STRONG.
Panicky Feeling Entirely Disap
peared and Troops Ready to Give
Battle-Report of the Fall of Volo
Discredited at Athens.
Athens, April CO. A dispatch from
near the front at Volo, dated last
evening, describes the fighting during
the attack by the Turks upon Vles
tino, ten miles from Volo, as furious
and bloody. The Turks Rtfpmnfpr?
( . , , ,
l" l" orees.ngni, ana made re
peated assaults which were repulsed
each time with heavy loss to the Turks.
The engagement lasted over two hours,
during which time near ten thousand
Turks Avere under fire. The dispatch
adds that the Turks were apparently
not dismayed by their failures and
that the Greeks expected a more furi-
Pus onslaught on the morrow (today)
at daylisrht. The Turks outnnmhprpd
tne ureeks, but the position of the
latter, the dispatch said,, was strong.
The Greeks government has no advices
that Volo subsequently fell into the
hands of the Turks, and the report to
that effect from Constantinople is de
rided.
Advices from Pharsala show that the
panicky feeling that prevailed among
the Greek troops when they retreated
from Larissa and Mati has entirely
disappeared, and the men, who . are
now as courageous as ever, will dis
play no hesitancy in giving battle to
the Turks when the occasion for fight
ing arrives.
Crown Prince Constantine has made
a round of visits to camps in the
vicinity of Pharsala, inspecting the
various regiments, and cheering the
men with, predictions of success. The
members of the staff of the Crown
Prince who were recently recalled by
the government to make room lt,fpr
more competent officers, went to Volo
shortly after the notice of their recall
had been received, and they are now
en route to the Piraeus in a small
vessel.
Resistance to the Turks Will be Continued.
London, April 30. A despatch to the
D'aily Mail from Athens says the pol
icy of the new minstry is the question
of the hour. All await its decision with
impatience. It is generally believed
that the preparatons for war and the
resistance of the Turks will be con
tinued until at least, terms can be
wade with the invaders. DUring the
last days of Delyannis ministry mat
ters proceeded only half-heartedly and
little or no preparations were made to
send to the front the large number of
reserves in the city.
Turks Occupy Volo. ,
London, April 30. A despatch from
Larissa confirms the news from Con
stantinople t hat a body of Turkish
cavalry has occupied Volo, the princi
pal port of Thessaly. The Moslem
troops entered the city on Wednesday.
No organized resistnee to the Turks
was offered. Twelve gtms that were
in a concealed position near the town
were discovered by the cavalrymen,
who took possession of them.
Greeks Compelled to Retreat.
Athens, April 30. Despatches from
the Greek forces in Epirus state that
after five days fighting in the vicinJTy
of Pentepigadia, the Greeks were com
pelled to retreat, as tne army with
drew southward, Philippaida was evac
uated by the Greeks and was later re
occupied by the Turks. -
Earthquake in West Indies.
Washington, April 30. News of an
earthquake in Guadaloup island. West
Indies, came to the State Department
todav in a telegram from the United
States Consul there. The telegram
was dated Pointe Aquite, April 29th,
and read as follows:
"Severe earthquake. Loss heavy.
Many injured."
Will be Offeted the Red Hat.
' Boston. April 30. It was to-day
stated by the closest civilian friends of
Archbshop John J. Williams of this
city, that during the visit to be paid to
Rome by the prelates and on which he
will sail from New York on Saturday,
May 8th, he will be offered and will
probably accept the red hat.
I idlctment Against Hunter Postponed.
Louisville, Ky.. April 30. The indict
ments aganst ex-Senatoral nominee
Hunter and his "friends and agents,
John H. Wilson and E. F. Franks for
conspiracy to bribe legislators, wasca!"
Up in the Circuit Court at Frankfort by
their attorneys to-day. A speedy, trial
was demanded and it was deferred to
the next term of the court.
- Reduction In Iron Freightage.
Birmingham, Ala,, April 30. A gen
eral reduction of about 20 per cent on
iron freightage to the east and west
will be made to-morrow by the various
ralroads pleading out of Birmingham.
With the' co-operation of the roads the
combination will be fully overcome.

ALTGELD IN DEEP WATER.
A Heavy Borrower at Numerous Chicaco
Banks.
Chicago, pril 30. Ex-Governor John
P. AJtgeld, of Illinois, is in deep water
financially. Altgeld has for many years
owned a valuable eight-story building,
100 feet front by 180 deep, at Jackson
and Market streets, is the chief owner
of the I ntty building, a sixteen-story
oirice structure on uearborn street
and within the past five years has en-
gageu neaviiy in otner building enter
prises. Altgeld has had to have money
and a lot of it. He was a heavy bor
rower of the collapsed Globe Savings
bank. f deferring to his money trans
actions ne says: xne mea mat l was
a very heavy borrower of the Globe
Savings bank is a mistake. I have
built six of the largest buildings in
Chicago. I borrowed heavily of some
of the large banks in this cit y. No
bank that ever loaned me a dollar has
ever lost a penny, and I never erot a
penny's w orth of benefit from , the
Globe bank more than 1 1 got from any
other ban. So late as last December,
Mrs. Altgeld had a little money of her
own w hich was all the money she had
in the world; not all the property, but
all the money. She wanted to put it
in a savings bank so that she could
get it at such time as she wanted it.

Understanding Between Russia and

Constantinople at Its Pleasure-
British Opposition Futile.
Special Cable,; Copyrighted.
Lonaon, April :w. it is rashly as-
sumed in many parts of Europe that
the war is virtually finished. It is
altogether premature to indulge in
such hopes until the result of the noli'
tical crisis in Athens is fully assured.
The. new ministry -cannot openly advo-
cate a policy of surrender, even if it be
iievps thp stmere-le arainst the Turkish
i niiuy is nopeiess. ine opposition nave
been from the first more warlike than
the displaced ministry.
The latest Athens dispatches indb
cate that Prime Minister Ralli and his
followers will continue to accuse the
Greek commanders of cowardice and
to affirm that the Greek troops will be
able to retrieve the country's fortunes
if they are properly led. The only
thing that can be expected, therefore.
is a furtheij attempt to snatch, victory-
irom deteat. it is a desperate chance.
Even those who are most friendly to
the Greeks do not expect them
to succeed, in view of this situation
there is a belief in certain diplomatic
circles that strong efforts will be made
to induce the. Powers to interfere with
out the open solicitation of Greece,
under a secret understanding with the
Greek government that all reasonable
conditions, such as the . withdrawal of
the Greek troops from Crete, will be
complied with. , ; f
Today's advance - of the Turkish
forces seems to make at least one more
severe, engagement inevitable.
Telegrams sent from Athens today
show that the new Prime Minister, M.
Ralli, is the idol of the1 populace for
the moment.
It is probable that Greek defeat at
Pharsala and the consequent peril of
the capital will enable the ministry to
gain the consent. of the country to its
making submission to the powers. In
the meantime it is fondly believed in
most of the European capitals that the
agreemnt ot the Czar and the aus-
trian Emperor arrived at in St. Peters-
bnrc-. is a practical guarantee of the
peace of Europe against all dangers.
This agreemnt is interpreted in Vienna
as the beginning of the end of the
triple alliance and as significant of the
grouping of the Povversj it is plainly
intimated that no obstacle remains to
the Russian occupation Of Constanti-
nople when the Czar chooses, it is
assumed that - British opposition will
be futile, considering the strength of
the combination against Lord Salis-
bury. It should be borne in mina, now-
ever that the position of France and
Italv is bv no means assured on tne
ciriP nf the three Emperors. The friends
of Lord Salisbury. who welcomed him

SEVEN PAY THE PENALTY FOR MURDER,
RAPE AND ARSON. '
Detected by Blood Dounds Confess Their
Guilt Six Hanged and One Mysteilously
Disposed Of.
Houston, Tex., April 30. For burning
an old man, a child and a woman, a
criminal assault upon two girls and the
burning of the homes of the victims,
seven young negroes were last night
sent to their doom at the hands of an
infuriated mob of negroes at Sunny-
side, Waller county. Last fall a gen
tleman from Brenham was robbed of
$65. Suspicion pointed to four boys
named Thomas, and they confessed
having committed the deed, and said
they had given $30 of the money to
Henry Daniel. Daniel spent the money
and on last Sunday evening the four
Thomas boys, according to their con
fession, decided to either collect their
$:iU or kill Daniel. -They carried out the
latter part of the programme. Henry

side in a little hut w Hlv hU stepdaugh

Wednesday night the house was broken

ing they had covered up the awful
deed. The fire had not attracted .much
attention and wnen it was noticed that
Daniel and his family were missing,
tne charred rums or the house were
searched and the terrible truth was
soon made oniy uo plain. Local orM-
cers went to work and were ably as-
slsted by the best cltzens or the negh-
borhood. Blood hounds were secured
and they were not long In finding the
right track. Before night they went
straight to the place w here the Thomas
gang resided, and one by one they were

splendidly, and after the murderers
had been confronted with the evidence
of their crime, they confessed commit

dangling from the limbs of a large oak

were found the bodies of six negroes.
The bodiea of w, Gate and
Thomas were burned from the waist"
down. Hundreds from all ovei the
country are surging back and forth
but always with that one tree as the
center of attraction. All of the bodies
are there except Williams, and he is
not to be found. The shots probably
explain his absence.
