TRIUMPH FOR TURKS.

IMPORTANT CITY OF LARISSA CAPTURED. Almost a Death Blow to the Hopes for the Success of the Greeks —Excitement at Athens Caused by the Receipt of the News. The Greek government on Monday wired to its representatives abroad ds follows: “On Friday after 6 o’clock In the evening, yielding to the enemy’s great superior forces at Mati, our troops were obliged to fall back on Pharsala, abandoning Larissa, whicH is uu longer tenable, owing to its position in the center of a plain. Our army is advancing toward Pentepegidia.” The news of the disaster to the Greek troops at Larissa caused an intense revolutionary feeling to be displayed at Athens. Ex-Minister Ralli, leader of the principal opposition group in the legislative assembly, threatened that unless the military staff was changed he would issue a proclamation to the people. M. Delyannis, the premier, Immediately announced that the staff of the crown prince would be recalled and that ex-Minister Ralli, with three of his nominees—Gen. Smolenski, Gen. Mavromichali and Col. Dimopoulo—would be appointed to replace them. From la*e reports received it seems certain that the Greeks only escaped a crushing defeat at Larissa by precipitate flight. The news from Epirus is conflicting. It seems certain that the Turks have occupied Pentepigadla, and it is not improbable that the Greeks have retreated to Arta, showing that the Turks-allowed them to advance to Pentepigadia solely in order to destroy the column.

BANKRUPTCY BILL PASSED.

Senate Adopts the Substitute of Mr. Nelson of Minnesota. The session of the senate Thursday was one of the most eventful since congress assembled.

The bill is the substitute framed by Mr. Nelson of Minnesota. It provides for voluntary and involuntary bankruptcy, but the theory of its author was to free it from harshness and make it of substantial benefit to debtors and creditors. On the announcement of the death of Representative Holman, the senate adjourned as a mark of respect, the adjournment being until next Monday.

HUMBERT IN DANGER.

Anarchist Attempts to Assassinate the Kins of Italy. An attempt was made at Rome Thursday to assassinate the king of Italy.
