terview to-day with the Turkish Ambassador. It
Is understood that the subject under discussion
was the terme upon which the Powers are to

"The Daily News" COI'respondent at Paris says
that It. Hanotaux. in the course of the confer?
ence. Urged the Turkish Ambassador to advise
the Bultan to hold OUI the olive branch to C.rofc.
adding that if the Turkish troops went further,
France would be compelled to come forward as
the defender of the Christian cause. In that
event, gaud If. Hanotaux, Turkey would have the
moat reason to regret the intervention of the
Powers, which would not serve as a prop for the
Ottoman Empire, it is underetocd that II.

London, April 28. -A dispatch to "The Dally
Id from Patri-, dated Tuesdaj evening, gaya:
t?.? Greeks have suffered their first great
revers?- in Eplrus, and the situati? ? has changed
wi'h startling auddennesn When I last tele
? ? the Turks were In full and dlaorderly
retri ,? toward Janina, and the Greeks wen

irregulars by mtatake fired upon tbe Greeks
: ng the confusion which followed 3,000
Turkish infantry arrived from Janina and In
. attacked tha Greeks. A desperate and
? hand-to-band encounter ensued. The
Turks uttered demoniacal yells and showed the
rresti fei ". ?hil? the ?',r. ? ks who bed
bon without food all night long and were ter?
ribly Outnumbered, were taken at the greatest
diradvantage.
"An h??ur alter the fight bet?nn two companies
of Turks occupied a bill on the Greek flank
aid opened a deadly Hi?'. The Greeks broke in
confusion and flrd in hideous panic. With the
verj greatest difficulty their officers rained them
and led them bach to the front, where they re?
newed the battle against Overpowering odds.
"Major Commend ?uro commanded them, ah
day he fought In th- fnmt line. Two hones
?Ter? ahoi under him. and he was twice wounded;
but li- se,.?,..,i to bear a ? harmed life. A Gr-ek
lieutenant, nn Italian volunteer and five pr?vales
rushed upon the Turks. Five ,,f the seven

the enemy, and 'he sixth was wounded. An?

Turks from behind a rock for five hours until
he was killed.
"At 7 o'clock In ?he evening the Greek am?

Of food ani th?? r.tr.nr call was sounded.
"A second ?ir-ek fone of Infantry, cavnlry
and fi??ld artillery, advancing by another road,
arrived nn hour too laie. This also retreated In
greai disorder Th?? Turks row hold P-ntepl
gadia, which mipht. however, be attached by ar?
tlllery. Th.? Greeks are greatly depressed snd
dlscouragi d.
"Tin? retreat ?-.?, much discussed here; and no
one can explain It exo..p? up m the hypotheajli
that there was a risk of the Turks disembarking
a fon?? at Preveas and so cutting off our re?
treat. Tho Greeks bav. su ff? red a revene; but
Greek h? n..r is not lost "
Amone; the mai?. Incidenti told of ?',r<-ek valor
at Penteptgadla is this: Twenty-two Greeka fell
?lead in a heroic struggle to preserve the body
of their major from Turkish profanation.
The dispatch attributes the reverse of the
Greeka to deficient trsnspo.*t errangemente, and
aayi the mensure? taken for tb?? conveyance of
ammunition and food were wholli Inadequate.
The Sim?? conditions prevailed at Arta where,
on Thursday last, th. Greek soldiers, being In a
famishing condition, broke JntO the stor-s in
search of provisions
When th? Turks hastily retreated from he
fora Arta, it appears, the Greek? bad a magnifi?
cent opportunity which they threw away. Th?
correspondent adds that n?? doubl the Greek?
mieht recover the ground lost but he asserti
such mistakes make ,?,.-? unpleasant Impression.
The Putras dispatch further says:
"A melancholy incident occurred yesterday A
countryman brought new? -,hnt the Turk? were
approachir.e;. whin the Greek? were retreating
from Fiiiipinda toward Arta Colonel rtott
garls sent tw ? companies i" the top of a hill to

to the welrdnesa "f the seep??.
Later th?? c rrespondenl passed battsrtee of

gave placa to the clamor of disappointed and
dispirited men. They forgot their weariness In
wild Imprecatlona against their generals and
other officers.
THE RETREAT BECOMES A ROPT.
The retreat became a rout. The carriages were
slowly picking their way through desperate men,
crying women and children, and horses and
donkeys, nil overladen, which were creeping
.'.long at a snail's pn<e or prmring srlth nervous
fright.
Suddenly, n?ove the din of the confused

In a few momenta a dozen horsemen and as

"Run! Run) The Turks are here!"

Th? Governing Commuti.f the New-York
?to? li Exchange, al th* close of s sesarton lasting
fmni 8^0 o'clock yesterdaj afternoon till 7 In the
evening, roted unanimously to expel from the
Exchange Charle? Neukln h, ! f the Htm of Theo
dor.? \V. Myers & (?., ??,. ,TJ NeW-St. Mr. Neu?
kirch was found guilty of fraud in having "pro?
cured fais.? ami fraudulent report! of fictitious
transactions."
The alleged offene arai committed by Theo?
dor? W. Myrs & CO. as a firm, but It was With
Mr. X.-uklrch ns the partner who was ? mem?
ber of th.? Exchange that the Governing Com
j mlttee of th.? E\ ?hange had to deal t??.?? firm u
; composed of Mr. Neuklrch and Edward U.
, Myers, the latter of whom does not belong to
? tho Exchange. Tb?? Arm was established by
': Theoiior? w. Myers, fonnorlj Controller of the
city of N'.-w-Vork, but h?? retired from it on May
1. 1808, Edward 11. Myrs, who Is his nephew,
and Mr. Neuklrch continued the business under
the old name,
Th?? charg? agalnat Myers & Ca upon which
Mr. Neuklrch wad expelled "as based on th.ir
relations with the E. S. Iiean Company, the ?dis?
cretionary order" cenoern which recently col
lapsed, but there were other charge? against th?
firm, it was laeerted that an arrangement ex?
isted between Myers & Co, and the Dean com?
pany by which the latter wns abb? to swindle its
customers. The customers of th- Dean com?
pany sent money to It for It to plan? in the Stock
market according to the Judgment of the tnan
a"*er of the concern. \0 account waa rendered
to customers until trade?, w-re closed.
Th?? svldenc? presented to the Governing Com?
mittee of the Stock Exchange was that the E?enn
company placed "crossed" orders with Myers
& Co. The I lean company, for Instance, would
instru.t Myers & Co. to buy 100 share? of st? , k
at a certain price and s??!! l?Vl shares of the
same Stock at the sani?? price. Thus there
was no neci for an actual transaction, for
one order balanced the other. Myers ft
Co, w.-re Instructed to furnish a separate
report on each order. In this wsy, if th??
stock went up the pean company might
say to Its customer that it had gone ihort of th ?
stock, whereas if ?he stock went down it might
sny ?t had pone long In either case the cus?
tomer was placed In th? position of having sus?
tained a loss, the amount of which could be ap?
propriate,? oui nt th? customer's money by the
? ?? an company.
THE METHOD OF OPERATION.
If the customer was dl posed to oucstjon the
truthfulness of the account rendered to him by
the Dean Company and to make trouble, thi
Dean Company could produce reports from My?
ers A Co. to confirm their sccounl It was
necessary for Myers ?- Ca to he prepare,] to
show that they had executed the order. The
evidence before the Btock Exchange was thai
My-rs ft Co., or rather Mr. Neuklrch, their Ex
ehange member, would say to ? broker on the
Exchange thai they had gold "ne bundred shares
Of sto. '? nan lag the ? :, .?. ?.?id that they would
transfer the transa? turn to ii.m (the brokei ?. Who
?raa to report thai he had sobi the stock to My?
?rs ft Co The ostensible reason was that it was
desire,) t?? cover up ?he transaction, Th- regu?
lar commission would be paid to tire broker. To
another broker Mr. Neuklrch would say that
Myeri & Co, had bought ih? itock (al the price
named to the other broker), snd thai th.y would
transfer the transaction to him, who w?s to te?
pori thst hi hsd bought ths stock from M) ? ?

paid to thi ? brokei.
The broken thui employed would each be
