These reports have had a eery depressing effect here, when taken in conjunction with the formidable resistance which the Turks have met with around Tyrnavo. It is stated that Osman Pasha, the hen$ of Plevna, is to be sent to the scat of war in order to direct the military operations against the Greeks. Additional Forces Ordered Out Ed ham JPasha Superseded by the Hero of Plevna. CossTANTisori.E, April 23 — After noon.—An additional force of Red iff s. «r army reserves, has been called out to reinforce the Turkish troops operating against the Greeks. They consist of the Kouiah brigade from Ceraria, a -delegation from Samrra belonging to • the Third army corps; three brigades from the Fourth anny corps and a division of the Fifth !army corps. These ■tea will total up 72 additional battalions of troops numbering 50,409 men. It is now definitely announced that Osman Pasha, the hero of Pievna. has been appointed commander-in-chief of the Turkish army having its headquarters at Elassona. Kdham Pasha has been recalled. In addition Saad Edin Pasha has been appointed to command the Turkey army having its headquarters at Janina, replacing Ahmed Hifzi Puiia who Ls also recalled.

April 22.—8 r. a.—The Turks (save abandoned Kafia and Kosnitzadesoo on the left bank of the Arachphea. The inhabitants left precipitately, abandoning their belongings. All along the route to Fort Imaret (capCured by the Greeks), there were evidences of hasty flight. The belongings of the Turks were «uery where scattered about. The project of Arta has reached FiUipiada. Be was received with acclamation by the population A number of Greek grounded have bean brought to FiUipiada. The dead were left un buried.

THE STATE OF TRADE. Iraniyot Botin cm Condition* M Indicated by R. G. Dob * Co** WookJjr Eo view—Boslaee* Fall ore* tor the Week Ete. New York, April 94.—R. G. Dun A Co-’s weekly review of trade says: If either Turkey or Greece had been wholly buried in the sea, markets might have been affected less than by the outbreak of war in Europe. Like fire in the heart of a crowded city it raised the question whether a general conflagration may spring out of it. To this possibility and not to the direct influence of either Turkey or Greece upon the world's money or produce markets was due the excitement in grain and stocks. As the unknown is magnified, American markets were much more flighty than European, where the possibilities have been discussed and partly discounted for months. But the uncertainty remains and will affect the movement of money and staples until it disappears, creating a larger demand for American products at higher prices, causing hasty speculative selling of securities at times, but also more continuous buying by foreign investors and not improbably influencing the attitude of foreign powers on questions important to this country. Wheat rose six cents from Thursday to Monday, and has retained most of the rise. Since Russia and the Danu* bian states will be likely to ship wheat scantily, especial needs and much higher prices being possible there, a larger share of the requirements of western Europe may naturally be drawn from this country, and the chance of a war between the great powers has the more influence, because supplies there are not large. While western receipts do not yet increase, and in three weeks have been but 5,941,001. against 5,033,199' last year, Atlautic exports begin to gain slightly, amounting to 1.190,339 bushels, flour included, against 1,085.764 last year, and for three weeks have been 3,588,170 bushels, against 8,453,079 last year. But the great increase is in corn, on which the price has scarcely advanced, though Atlantic exports were 4,189,140 bushels, against 2.024.783 last year. Already the exports for the crop year have been 33,000.000 bushels larger than Atlantic exports of wheat and flour, and may soon exceed the total exports of wheat and flour from both coasts. Cotton has been affected scarcely at all, though government estimates that the flood districts yielded nearly 590,000 bales, for increased acreage in other sections is generally reported. The past week, like others of late, has witnessed the starting of operations by several iron works, especially in black sheets for tinning, and yet prices of iron and unfinished products are lower, demand not yet equalling the supply. Bessemer pig has sold as low ns 89.05 at Pittsburgh and gray forge at $5.50 in Birmingham. Steel billets fell to $14.25 at Pittsburgh and angles to 1 cent, but wire rods cannot be supplied fast enough at $21.75. Nails are strong, and a few more structural orders are pending. Eastern works also have orders for 15,000 tons of steel rails.

Complaint and proof that the demand for the products is deficient, blinds many to the fact that the actual work in progress, largely the heavy orders for beams, billets, rails and sheet bars taken when the pools broke up, is of greater volume than tor » long., time. Large sales of copper are reported, at ll1* cents, with production 17.3*2 tons in March. The end of stipulated curtailment has been reached by some cotton mills, and nearly by all, and since the auction sales some ble ached goods have been slightly advanced, but actual buying does not increase and print cloths do not improve. Sales of wool hav^ been largely of foreign, reports being swelled by arrivals of quantities sold some time age and imports at Boston for the week were 82.000 bales. For the three chief cities sales were S4.OSO.SOO pounds in three weeks, 30.271,800 being foriegn, against 15,900,100 in 1S93, including 8,504.000 foreign. But manufacturers are doing scarcely anything, and orders for goods improve eery little, though for somewhat better, grades. Failures for the week have been 313 in the United States, against 338 last year, and 31 in Canada, against 44 last year. THE ONE-WAY RATE PLAN IW Christian Kadeavor Pu*eo|«r TmfBc to 8na FrmnrUro. Chicago. April 34.—At a meeting of the western roads yesterday afternoon, held to consider Christian Endeavor rates, a resolution was submitted for the adoption of a one-way rate 61 935 in both directions between Chicago and San Francisco via the Missouri ri ver, and 933.59 via St Paul and Portland. This resolution is assured of adoption. The Southern Pacific road objects to the one-way rate plan, bat the other lines think it is the only way left them of protecting their local business. Of course the Southern Pacific can refuse to adopt the plan, and if so, that would kill it. In that case, however, the western roads would simply say that under such circus tan ces they did not care to go into the business at aiL The result of that course would be to take the convention away from San Francisco and leave the Southern P» die in the oold. CHINESE DIPLOMATS. Chicago, April *4.—Accompanied by SO or 80 Chinaman of high and low degree. Wn Ting Fang, envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary from China to the United States, Spain and Peru, reached Chicago on his way to Washington. The party was met at the Northwestern depot bya number of local Chinese merchants, who access panted them an n drive through the principal streets of the city. The part* left later for Washington.

TURN IT DOWN. GVaetora Are Dta*«ted with the Republican Party. Defeat of the republican party, visited vehemently and almost universally at recent local elections, was not caused solely by a feeling on the part of electors that promises of prosperity had not been realised. The revulsion, signal and general as it was, sprang from more reasonable motives. It is true that the republican party made loud promises of prosperity. W ith the mere election of McKinley confidence would be restored, capital would seek investment in business activities, chimneys would smoke and labor would be remuneratively employed. Nothing of the kind has come, but as intelligent electors k new that it did not lie within the power of any president or party to make good times, no great weight has been attached to the failure of republican prophecy. There is substantial and reasonable ground for the elector's discontent. He did cot look to the republican party for performance of the impossible. but he did imagine that it might reduce the burdens of government, and that in congress and in the state legislatures it could at least be cleanly and honest. What is found?

Instead of reduction of taxation, it is found that the republican party brings congress together in special session for the purpose of increasing taxation, and 'A il! allow no other business to be done while it discusses ways and means to help manufacturers at the expense of consumers. The importer is threatened with retroactive legislation, the business of the oountTy is thrown into disorder, doubt and harrassmcnt are visited upon merchants in the effortof the republican party, which promised to restore prosperity, to get at the pockets of the people with the most drastic tariff enactment ever attempted by an American congress. What is the performance of the restored republican party in such legislatures as are in session. We may take Illinois, for example. Where the party’s work is not merely partisan, as in the attempt, despite the plain mandate of the constitution, to perfect reapportionment bills, it is dow nright brazen, shamefaced dishonesty. Both houses at Springfield are overwhelmingly republican. They entertai ! Humphrey bills, designed to diminish home rule iu the commercial metropolis of the a tote, end to sell to greedy street car companies, not for the benefit of the state but for the benefit of themselves and the ravenous, bribe-giving tram companies, grants of inestimable value When not engaged in sueh rascality, republican legislators are celebrating their return to power by furthering such a reprehensible, socialistic measure as the requirement that school books shall be furnished at the common cost. And they refuse assent to a measure whereby can be raised the funds necessary for the completion of the drainage ditch, which is to give pure water supply to Chicago, because they cannot ha ve the spending of the money. Disgusted with the dishonesty and greed and incapacity of the republican party, which signally triumphed last November, electors all over the land are taking the first opportunity to assert at the ballot boxes their discontent and want of confidence. Return to democI racy, now well under way, will continue. There is nothing more certain in the future than that democracy will triumph in Ohio next November, as it has triumphed in the spring elections in h Chicago and Cincinnati, and as in 1S98 it will triumph in the congressional elections. Of course the same old dishonest cry for democratic aid to a tariff-making party will come from the republican camp. But the country knows, to its cost, that there is more evil in republiI can ascendancy than in any possible outcome of the currency question.—Chicago Chronicle. • DEMOCRATIC OHIO. The Darkere State Has Had Enough ot Hanna. No better indication of the increasing d^satisfaction with the present administration could be found than that afforded by Ohio last week. The state of McKinley and llnnna repudiated those gentlemen in the most vigorous and unmistakable manner. Cincinnati wiped out the republican plurality of nearly ^22,000 last November, and put in place of it a democratic one of over 7,000. Similar results were reached in other cities. Cleveland clearly showed that it had enough of Hanna. The previously republican majority of 4,000 has been ■wept away. The dictator’s home city repudiated him. Indeed, Hanna had many causes for regret last w eek. There is no possible doubt of the result in his state in the fall. It will go strongly democratic. The legislature which is u> choose the senator to succeed Hanna will be democratic, and that menus permanent retirement from congress for the plutocratic power behind the throne. Hanna will be obliged to leave Washington or slip in through some obscure side door to the cabinet. Of course. Bliss may be relied on to resign at the proper moment. But even that consolation does not lift the gloom from the prospect staring Hanna and his protege in the face.—Tammany Times. -Every citizen knows that the general government must have sufficient revenue to administer the affaireof government economically, and all citizens would agree to the paaaage of a revenue tariff bill. But citizen* are fast finding out that under the guise of a hill to produce revenue President McKinley and Mr. Dingley are trying to foist upon the people a measure reducing trade and increasing taxes.—Nashville American. --There is little doubt that the continuation of hard times after the election of Mr. McKinley has made many n who is out of work vote, in his desperation, in opposition to the sentiments he expressed in November.—Chi«n> News (IndL).

GENERAL DISSATISFACTION The Diislcr Tariff Bill Creates Dieses teat. Certain protectionist newspapers, in discussing the Dingley tariff bill, appear to think that they cac stop all argument by advancing two propositions. The first proposition is that opposition is useless; and the second, which is usually advanced in the same breath, is that there isn’t any opposition anyhow. As to the first of these propositions, opinions may differ; as to the second, opinions ore unlikely to differ greatly, if the Dingley tariff should be suffered to go before the people as a direct issue in substantially its present form. Despite these assurances of republican newspapers, representative business men continue to exercise the right of free speech with almost sufficient energy and lucidity of argument to entitle them to Dingleyite decoration as mugwumps and free traders. Anything like a representative list of the important business interests protesting would exhaust the space of an ordinary newspapers, but a few instances may be added to those already cited. Marshall FiHd. the head of the great mercantile firm of Chicago, who is fighting the, bill, pronounces it “the worst tariff bill I ever saiw. not only os regards the rates of duty imposed, but in the complicated and ambiguous methods of imposing them. There is scarcely a line in the bill that will not have to be interpreted by the supreme court.” Mr. Field finds the Washington hotels full of people on the same errand as himself, and says that a republican member of the senate finance committee told him that such is the univeraul dissatisfaction with the bill that it will be necessary for that committee to amend almost every item—that “the only persons who are entirely satisfied with it ore the eastern manufacturers and the Ohio wool growers, and they are fighting to prevent changes.” Ex-Post most er-General William L. Wilson is competent to speak for those who, last fall, elected McKinley upon the currency issue, believing that the worst that was to be feared would be a slight increase in the Wilson rates so as to make up for the loss of the revenues that had been expected under the income tax—whereby the present law would at once produce sufficient revenues. Mr. Wilson is ably pointing out in a series of articles the unscientific, prohibitory, and worse-than-McKinley-ite character of the Dingley bill. How it will affect the consumer he makes clear by showing among other things that tinder the present law the duties on 100,000 pounds of woolen goods would be $16,000. or $16.200—40 per cent.—whereas under the proposed bill they will be $54,500 or $67,100; that is to say. 13S or 165 per cent. On ten dollors worth of cloth the present duty is four dolkirs; the proposed duty will be from $13 to $16. As to the influence of the Dingley betrayal of popular rights and of the just expectations of the people as an issue in the spring elections, opinions differ somewhat. “The tariff.” remarks the Chicago Tribune, “was not a winning card last fall; it does not seem to have been one this spring. Republican senators may find food for thought in this fact,” The Dover Index thinks that “the retroactive clause in the Dingley tariff act hos had its answer in the retroactive vote from the big cities in the different states.” These are but a few of the interesting exhibits which might lie indefinitely multiplied, did st..*ce permit, to refute the impudent falsehood that the Dingley tariff bill is nothing worse than the people expected all along.—Albany Argus. '

OPINIONS AND POINTERS. -The reciprocity features of the Dingley bill consist in shutting out foreign importations and having foreign nations shut out our exports.—Indianapolis News. -The republican party is digging its grave with the Dingley bill. The leaders act as if they were bidden to a wedding feast, and are tripping hilariously along to a hole in the ground.— St. Paul Globe. -The Dingley Res are mortally opposed to a 50-cent dollar, but they believe in fixing things so that, a dollar will buy only 50 cents’ worth in the market. Queer fish, those Dingleyites.— Binghamton (N. Y.) Leader. -Speaker Reed is faithfully carrying out the do-nothing policy laid down for him by McKinley. The whole machinery of the nation is at a standstill waiting for the passage of the odious Dingley tariff bill.—Chicago Chronicle. -Talk about a surplus in connection with the Ddngiey bill is superfluous. There will be no surplus. There will not even be revenue sufficient to meet the necessities of the government. A protective tariff as such will logically fail as a revenue measure.—Peoria Journal. -The vote on the Vest resolution concerning the retroactive tariff order indicates that the Dingley programme has a majority of one in the sen are. There can be no doubt now about Boss Hanna’s usefulness in the senate, it will be a big job to keep that majority of one in sight.—St. Louis Republic. -The people do not like the traffic agent, and the mere juggler in politics. Mr. Hanna is one of those politicians and statesmen who have no principles or oonrictions that cannot be accommodated to the desire of sucoeaa. This is the reason why his political career in Ohio will be short. He will be senator till next January only.—Portland Oregonian (Rep.). -The industries that have been generously encouraged and fostered have long been selling goods to foreigners cheaper than to Americans. The protective duty enables them to say to consumers: “Take our goods at our terms or go without any." The consumer has to pay, sad the protected manufacturer pays his campaign subscription and receives more and mure protection up to the high rates of Dinrlevism.—Utiea Observer.

A Strong: Point for the Winchester. In time everything breaks or wears out. Ofttimes a break can be repaired if the proper means are at hand. One of the manygreat advantages of using a Winchester make of ritie or repeating shot gun is that, if any part of the gun is broken, it can be easily replaced at a trifling cost. All Winchester guns are made by a system of interchangeable parts so that a part will fit any Winchester gun of like model. This permits the owner of a Winchester to renew any part of the gun without the aid of a gunmaker. Parts can be obtained through any gun dealer in the country.
