Lower Rates on Lumber and Wool and a Tariff on Hides. Dingley's Statement Regarding Rush of Foreign Importa tions Confirmed. CHICAGO, May 4.—A special to The Tribune from Washington says: An additional tax of 50 cents a barrel an beer has been voted into the senate sarin'bill by the Republican sub-com mittee. Whether the item will stay until the .bill gets into the senate is not altogether certain. Senators A.ldrich, Allison and Wolcott prepared for an all night session in the hope of getting She report ready to go to the financial committee, but at midnight they de dared they could not hope to make a report for another day. Meanwhile they voted on the beer tax. JThe pres ent rate of $i a barrel, and the addi tional 50 cen^s wi]^ bring the treas ury about $177000,000 anfiuaily on the present rate of consumption. .This in crease in revenue will not entail a dollar of additional expense for collection. The beer tax is now a part of the bill Lower rates on lumber and wool are there also, as well as a tariff on 'hides and a reduction of the internal revenue tax on spirits. The sugar schedule is substantially the same as that in ,the Dingley bill, so far as results are con cerned, but will make changes in phraseology and in the relative taxa tion of low grade and off color sugars. The April Importation. The treasury figures for the month just ended confirm Chairman Dingley's statement made a few days ago that there is likely to be nearly a year's sup ply of foreign goods in the country when the new tariff bill goes into ef fect. While thte retroactire clause, so called, of the Dingley bill probably prevent some of. the imports which would have been taken, it did not re duce the amount of goods brought in during April as compared with the preceding month of April. The clause of the bill declared that the new duties should apply to all goods coming in after April 1, which had been pur chased prior to that date. This, of course, permitted all goods contracted for or ordered prior to April 1, to come in under Wilson law rates, and also left it largely in the hands of the importers to indicate by their own statements whether goods coming in after April 1 had been purchased or Ordered prior to that date. Some of the importers have" also clung to the belief that this feature of the bill would fail to pass the senate, especially in view of recent publications so indi cating, while still others have chosen to take the risks upon being required to pay the extra duty in case this fea ture of the bill should become a law. The result of these conditions is that the total importations of foreign goods, have jumped from $50,000,000 in August, 1896, to $80,000,000 last month. The most notable increase has come from non-dutiable articles which im-' porters know will soon have to pay duty. The importations of this class of goods jumped from $71,000,000 in August 1896, to about $145,000,000 iu April, 1897. Arranged For Reporting the Bill. WASHINGTON, May 4.—Senator Alli son, chairman of the Republican sub committee which is preparing the tariff bill for the senate, had a conference with the Democratic members of the finance committee and arranged with them a programme for getting the bill into the senate. According to this agreement the bill will be reported to the full committee in the morning if the Republicans find they desire to hold it no longer, and it will then be passed on to the senate as soon as the Republicans make it manifest that they have a majority in committee favorable to its being, reported: THE RESULT IN DOUBT. "Vote on the Arbitration Treaty in the Senate 1 roinises to Be Very Close. 'WASHINGTON, May 4.—The senate has resumed business in earnest and the week bids fair to be one of impor tant results. According to agreement a vote will be taken on the arbitration treaty on Wednesday. It is also quite probable that the committee vacancies will be filled and that the tariff bill will be reported to the senate. For the rest the sundry civil appro priation bill may be passed and Sena tor Hoar has 'given notice that he will move to have the committee on rules discharged from the further considera tion of his amendments to the rules for the limitation of debates. Fate of the Treaty in Doubt.1' There is great .uncertainty as to the fate of the arbitration treaty, and it now looks as if the margin would not exceed two or three votes, whatever the result may be. There are a few unascertained votes which will decide the result. A canvass sho ws 40 votes certain for the treaty and 25 votes cer tainly against it. Twenty-nine votes in opposition are sufficient to defeat it, but the opposition do, not know just where these four votes' can be fou^nd. There will be considerable sparring over the treaty before the vote is taken but no prolonged debate is expected: Assistant Treasurer Hammond Dead. BALTIMORE, Md., May 4.—Judge Or* mond Hammond, assistant treasurer of the United States at Baltimore, died at the residence of his son, Osmond Ham* .-jnoud, Jrj& 'tfefc^i mam mm FIVE DAYS PEACE Edhem Pasha Said to Have Pro posed an Armistice to Prince --. Constantine, v- *,** Turkey Has Nothing to Gain by Further Prosecution of tb8 War. No Proposition Yet Made Look ing to Intervention by the Powers. LONDON, May 4.—A special dispatch from Athens announces that Edhem Pasha has sent an officer with a flag of truce to the Greek headquarters asking for an armistice of five days. Another dispatch from Athens says that it is again reported that Bulgarian irregulars to the number of about 200 men have crossed the frontier in Mace donia.. THE DIPLOMATIC SITUATION. No Request for.Mediation Has Yet Been Made or Offered. ATHENS, May 4. —The diplomatic sit uation may be summed up as follows: No request for mediation has been or will be addressed by Greece to the powers until the ministers of war and marine report upon the state of the Greek forces at Pharsalos and else where. The powers have not offered mediation, although they do not con ceal the fact that a request for inter vention will be highly acceptable to them. The minister foreign affairs, M. Skouloudis, says the military situation has greatly improved in both Epirus and Thessaly and that the victory of the Greeks over the Turks at "Velestino was brilliant. NOTHING MORE TO GAIN. Turkey Is Willing to Terminate the War at Any Time. CONSTANTINOPLE, May 4.—In influen tial Turkish circles the opinion is ex pressed that the war with Greece will soon terminate. It is pointed out that while Turkey was forced into the war by Greek aggressions, and the councils of certain of the powers, she will not gain any advantage- by crushing Greece for the benefit of the Slav element in the Balkans. It is held that the suc cesses attained by the Turkish troops in Greece are all the Turkish govern ment could desire. Continues Negotiation*, LONDON, May 4.—Officials dispatches from Athens received here'say that the Greek premieir, M. RalK,. continues negotiations with the view of seeurin&r the intervention of 1 ranee, Russia and Great Britain in favor of an armistice. Ministers Conferred With Comttantfne ATHENS, May 4':—The ministers of war and marine have left Pharsalos for Athens, after a long conference with Prince Constantine and the head' quarters staff. SMOLENSKI POPULAR. Regarded as the Hero of the Campari* for the Victory at Velestino. ATHENS, May 3.—There are numerous indications that the Ralli ministry in tends to assume greater direct military and naval control and no, longer to di vide the responsibility between the' ministry and the court. The news "of the victory at Velestino has increased General Smolenski's pop ularity and he is now regarded as the real hero cf the campaign. A foreign officer who saw the fight says -that the Turks numbered a,000 and the- Greeks 8,000. It is believed that the decisive con flict will be fought at Pharsalos soon. A dispatch from Colonel Manos explaining the retreat of the- Greek forces in Epirus says that the- morals of the army was somewhat affected by the news of the retreat from Lariflsa. The entire loss of the Greeks in Epirus is estimated at 200. POPULACE STILL ANGRY. Feeling at Athens Strong Against the Government. LONDON, May 4.—The Athens corre spondent of The Daily Mail says: Both the fleets remain idle. The populace continues indignant at the filling of the railway carriages with Crown Prince Constantine's baggage in the flight from Larissa, despite the protest of the railway officials. The people say they have been cheated and betrayed. They are also angry at the neglect of the gov ernment to call out the exempted re rerves, who are for the most part rela tives of ministers, deputies and aristo crats. GREEK JOAN OR ARC: She Creates Mnch Enthusiasm on Her Departure to the Front. LONDON, May 4.—The correspondent of The Daily Telegraph at Athens has had an interview with Helen Constan tinides, the 19-year-old girl who is about to start for the front at the head of a large band of irregulars. She is an excellent shot. Her brother will accompany her. She declares that she will fight in the front ranks and has no fear of death. Her departure was witnessed by thousands of enthusiastic Athenians, who hail her as the Greek Joan of Arc. RE1NVADED EPIRUS. Greek Troop* Occupy Philippladia for a Third Time.

The Cretans were prom ised complete autonomy, including the condition that the nomination of their ruler should be subject to the ratifica tion of the Cretan assembly. The in surgent leaders, however, cut the dis cussion short and reiterated that their motto remained "Annexation to Greece or Death.?
