ATHENS , April 20. The news of tlio cap
ture of Damasi has put n new complexion
upon the situation on the frontier , Is a great
encouragement to the government and Is
likely ( o have the most exhilarating effect
upon the spirits of the Greeks , who had been
greatly depressed by the reverses of their
troops at Mllounu Pass. This success , and
the fact that the fall of Prevesa seems Immi
nent , virtually offsets the calamity of
Mllouna. If the Greek divisions effect u
union t Damasi , as Is expected , there Is
almost nothing In the way of the Immediate
advance to Elassona. If Tyrnavo falls Into
thu liandd of Edhem Pasha and the Turkisli
troops sweep down upon the plain and ad
vance to Larltssa to meet the force conccn-
tiiitcd there under the crown prince , they
will be between two grand divisions of the
Greek army. This seems to have been the
object of Greek strategy.
Should the Greeks succeed In reducing the
forts nt Prcvcsa , as now seems probable , and
occupy the town with the large land force
co-i-pGiatlng with the bombarding war ships ,
the- road to Janlna would be open and the
Turkish troops In Eplrus placed at the most
sellout ; dlxadvantage. The situation In the
vnlloy of Prcvcsa of the Turkish division In
Albany Is that BO long as 11 remains in the
hands of the Turks It makes possible a steady
line of munitions and food supplies. With
Prevesa In the hands of the Greeks this line
would be promptly cut , and It would be prac
tically ImpOFslble to revictual the Turkish
troopB by the long route through .Macedonia.
On the other hand , the Greek troops could
bo rovlutnalc.il by sea.
PLANS OF THE FLEET.
H Is stated here In well Informed circles
that the eastern squadron or the Greek fleet ,
which will shortly bo reinforced by the Iron-
: lnd Spetzla , Is planning an Important move
ment . This IB probably directed against Sal-
onlca. If this Io made with despatch , it la
quite possible that the Greek ships could
reach the gulf and shell the town of Salonlea
before the Aegean squadron of the Turkish
fleet could Intervene. The object of such
a bombardment would be to cut off the
Macedonian line of supplies to Edhem
Pasha's camp at Elassona. Should the
Greek troops advance from Demasl to Elas-
Bona , the line of Turkish supplies could be
tut at that point and render the naval move
ment unnecessary. And It Is possible that
the brilliant success at Damasi will cause
i modification In the program of the Greeks.
Taking a general survey of the field tonight
( midnight ) the fortunes of war thus far are
pretty evenly divided , but the chances for
the Immediate future are decidedly In favor
of the Greeks.

ATHENS , April 20. ( Midnight. ) News has
Just reached hero that the Greeks , after a
desperate buttle , have captured and burned
Damitsl. Vlgla Is still resisting. Another di
vision of tlie Greei ; troops , it Is reported ,
has traversed tinRevenl Pass and captured
three block houses. Tills division has al
most reached Damasi , where It will effect a
union with the force that captured the town.
The 20,000 troops under General Smolenltz
displayed the greatest bravery. Revenl lies
twelve miles northwest of Larlssa. Edhem
Parlia , with a furce variously istlmated at
riom 10,000 to 1-1,000 troops , led seven as
saults agalnit It yesterday , but all were re-
piiltcd by the Greek- . ' . Crown Prince Constantine
stantino has telegraphed here that tlie Turks
nt that point were completely and llnally re-
pulsed.
In Athens greater attention has been paid
to the operations in the neighborhood of
Rovenl than to those at Mllouna Pnfs. The
theory all along has been that If the Greeks
could establish themselves at Damasl their
road would lie open to Elafsunn.
'
The exact ti'tnutlon at Tyrnavo Is some
what In doubt. The news from that point Is
conflicting , but there Is no confirmation of
the rumor that the place has been captured
tiy the Turks. What seema to have happened
Is thnt Tyrnavo was evacuated In order to
send troops forward to Revenl and was then
reoccuplcd by troops returning from Mllouna.
MILOUNA PASS , April 20. ( Evening. )
The Turks have Just commenced to shell the
town of Tyrnuvo. All the roads leading to

Times from St. Petersburg says that Count
Muravleff , the Russian foreign minister , has
dispatched a circular note to the powers ,
advising them to observe an expectant at
titude , In case cither Turkey or Greece should
request Intervention. The correspondent un
derstands that all the powers have agreed
to continue to hold Crete with the forces al
ready there.
A dispatch to the Times from Cairo says
The Turkish government has called upon
the khedlvc to expel all Greeks from Egypt.
As the Greeks number 60,000 and are the
chief promoters of commerce and trade thcli
removal Is desired by none save the oh'
Turkish party. It Is probable that France
will undertake to protect them , and thus the
expulsion will bo avoided ,
A dispatch to the Morning Post fron
Constantinople says that the report that the
Greek volunteers have cut the Salonlea rail
way near Knvnla Is not confirmed. Hut tlu
Greeks have occupied Mltylens and Chins
after a sharp engagement with the * Turklsl

ELASSONA , April 19. ( Headquarters of 1U3
Turkish army In Macedonia ) Night : The
Turkish army this afternoon began cannon
ading Tyrnnvo , the Greek town to the north-
went of Larissa , and only about ten miles
from the Greek headquarters , the Greeks
having fallen back upon Tyrnavo. The
whole chain of mountains from Tchalssza to
the Milouna pass Is now In possession of
the Turks. The last brush on the bills was
very brief , the Greeks making but little re
sistance. The Turks have captured several
prisoners. Including an Italian volunteer.
The dash of the Turks Is Irresistible. It
Is expected that a general advance of the
Turkish army will take place tomorrow
( Tuesday ) morning.
The correspondent of the Associated press
at tlio Turkish headquarters in Macedonia
has just fpeiH sixteen hours In the saddle
with the advince line of Edhem Pasha's
troops.
During Sunday night the Tunes strength
ened the positions which they had captured
from the Greeks , but at sunrise it was deen
that the Greek forces had retire ; ! , except
from a hill which was occupied by the Greek
rear guard.
GREEK RESISTANCE FEEHLE.
Dcsultoiy firing took place all the morning
and finally at 1 p. m. to.lay ( Monday ) Hairl
Pasha sent four battalions to drive the enemy
from the hill referred to. In twenty min
utes -It was all over. The resistance ot the
Greeks was feeble and many of them sur
rendered to the Turks. Trie prisoners were
mostly young and sturdy men. After the
capture of the last Greek position the Turks
advanced , singing as they marched forwarii ,
and occupied all the remaining height ? .
On reaching the summit of the hills of
Tyrnavo , the Greek frontier town situated
about ten miles from Larlssa. the Turks
otxservcd that the Greeks were occupying a
small hill from which they fired but feebly
at the Turks. Finally two Turkish mountain
batteries were brought up to the summit , of
'
the hill occupied'by the Turks and from that
position began bombarding Tyrnavo. Under
cover of this fire the Turkish infantry ad
vanced and captured a spur opposite the
Greek blockhouse. Orders were given to
the Turks at G o'clock to take the blockhouse
by assault. This movement was brilliantly
effected twenty minutes later. The Greek
prisoners say that the Greek army has al
ready lost heart.
The situation at present is that the Turks
have possession of all the commanding
heights between their headquarters and the
Greek headquarters at Lariasa , with the
exception of Tyrnavo , which Is now com
manded by the Turkish batteries' .
CAMP IN GREEK TENTS.
Thu Turks tonight are camping in the
tents of the Greeks left on the plain of
Thpssa'y ' , near the Mllouna pass. The
Turks today only had six men killed and
ten wounded.
The death of Hafiz Pasha , the Turkish
commander who was killed In the fighting
which took place in the Mllouna past * on
Saturday. Is greatly lamented. Ho was SO
years of age , and while advancing at the
head of his troops xvaa urged to dismount
and rest. The old pasha replied :
"During the Russian war I never dis
mounted , and why should I do so now ? "
Soon afterward HalU Pasha was wounded
In the arm , but he still remained in the
saddle. Later a second bullet struck him on
the hand , but vet the old warrior refused
to retire. Finally a third bullet broke the
gallant pasha's spine and he rolled from
Ills sndjllo dead.

DUBLIN , April 20. There were many
prominent rarncllltes present nt the conven
tion summoned to meet In this city today by
John E. Redmond. The meeting was private
A resolution was adopted providing for thi
formation of an Independent Iiish league
one In which agrarian Interests are not tc
be dominant , and which will be foundei
upon the "broader and sounder basis of In
dependent political action for the benefll
of the whole Irish nation , "
The object of the league will be "civil ani
religious liberty , and no further lnterrnnc ! (
of priest * In politics ; absolute Independent
of alliances with any English part } and re
verting to the old demand for co-ordinate
parliaments ; the prlne'ple ' of fed rallem Ir
Mr. Gladstone's home rule proposals , and
manhood suffrage wliich will give the 1'ar
nellltcs a political majority In Ireland. "
The league will also urge the Imni'jJIate
Icilicss of Ireland's financial grievances , am
nesty for all political prUonoro , land law
icform , and the development and encourage
ment of labor and the Industrial irsr.urccs
of the country , etc. A temporary executive
committee \\as elected to draft the plan el
organization and to hold office until ; ho Par-
nellltc convention muets again ! n October.
Mr. Redmond opened the conference with
a dispassionate speech , showing that the
present condition of the party needed vig
orous reorganization. He refcrrs.l to and
explained the program , and piop03d that
the convention In October should bo at
tended by delegates from nil branches of the
new league. Mr. Itcdmi-nd announced hlo
readiness to resign the chairmanship of the
party , or If they preferred , to remain , as nil
present were Invited to Indulge In Hie freest
expression of opinion ,
HARRINGTON WALKS OUT.
Timothy Harrington rcsc , and , In a calm
speech , objected absolutely to the formation
of the new league.
Many speakers followed , mostly In favor
of Mr. Redmond's position , and Mr. Har
rington's motion against the league's forma
tion was defeated by a vote of 230 to 22.
Mr. Harrington then left the ball with
his supporters.
Mr. Redmond explained that It was not
Intended that the party's members of Parlia
ment should control the league.
In an Interview after the meeting , Mr.
Harrington cald lie could not Indicate his
future course until the country had spoKon.
Ho added that there was nothing the old
league could have done tor Mr. Rcdnnnd ,
"except give , him the support of the Uevjy
section in America , which , " Mr. Harring
ton added , "could , If they chose , finance the
new league. "
There was a fair attendance at the public
meeting which followed the private confer
ence , and the proceedings were marked by
much enthusiasm.
.Mr. Redmond explained that the new
movement appealed to Irishmen at home and
in America for support. He outlined tub
policy of obstruction to bo pursued In\the
House of Commons , In" order to secure" re-
dn s of financial Erle'vanees. Ills mention
of the name of Timothy Harrington pro
duced a hostile demonstration. i
Sluyvesant Chandler , who had a very
hearty reception , declared that the non-
platform contained the cornerstone of tlie
American Institution and that the birth of
the new league would revive the interest of
all Americans in the welfare of Ireland.
Amid , loud cheers lie bade England beware
of "that vast throng of Irishmen In the
United States , with the same old love ot
Ireland , who hate England In their hearts. "
A rcFnlutlon approving the proceedings of
the conference was adopted unanimously.

trocutions in Ohio took place nt 12:45 this
morning In the annex of the Ohio peniten
tiary , where for the past thirteen years cap
ital punishment has been meted out to all
persons under sentence of death In the state
by hanging. The electrical chair and appli
ances have been In place In the old execution
room for several weeks , t They are similar
to those used In New York. \
The electrocution of William Haas wan set
for April 8 , but owing to 'thejbtrrnlng out of
the armature on the electrocution dynamo ,
the electrocution had to bejpostponed and
Governor Hushnell fixed Ihcj date so that
Haas would bo electrocuted on the day set
for the electrocution of "William " Wiley. A
new ai mature , to be used only for electrocu
tions , was secured and the'test ' yesterday
showed that It was fully-up tp requirements.
To prevent any possibility of the armature
being tampered with , an cjitra guard was
placed In the dynamo room. Haas and Wiley ,
the condemned men , passed tjio day In read
ing and In religious devotions. Haas , who
is 19 years of age , had- Wen Indifferent to
his fate ever since his arrfyal at the annex.
The crime for which , . .lla'gswas electro
cuted was'-a , most revoltingone. . II § had
been employed by William Bradcr , ' gar
dener , residing at Cloverdalo , % suburb of
Cincinnati. On1'the ' morning of July 3 , 1S9G ,
while Brader whs absent. In Cincinnati , HaTTs
criminally assaulted Mrs. JTradcr , .who , was
the only "other occupant" .the nfriisc , ' and
then cut her throat wlthrazb'r. . . . To qqv.er.
up the crime , Haas sot fire to the house nntl
fled , but some blackberry.plckers saw the
smoke issuing from the Ijousc In time to
prevent its burning. Haas yras arrested on
the afternoon of the sainc day at Hamilton ,
0. , and taken to Cincinnati , where by de
grees a confession was Secured from him. .
William Wiley murdered tils wife on the
west side of Cincinnati twenty days after
Haas committed his crime. Wiley was In
sanely jealous of his wife , and , so It trans
pired , without cause. After a. few years of
unhappy domestic life he caiuo home one day
In a drunken fit and shot his , wife , who died
after being taken to a hospital. Wiley con
cealed himself in a closet -Jn the house and
was wounded in a desperate fight with the

WASHINGTON , April 20. ( Special Tele
gram. ) Senator Allen , In reply to a wire from
i the Commercial club of Umalm conveying
I congratulations for his work yesterday In
! behalf of Omahn , as to the warehouse for
j Indian supplies , and asking what was to be
! ilono to further the amendment , now part ol
. the Indian appropriation bill , sent this tcle-
i gram this evening : "Ilrlng all pressure to
bear on the- house In behalf of the Indian
supply depot. Can take care of the senate
end. "
It Is to the house thai efforts must be di
rected to keep the amendment In the bill.
Representative Mercer will use every effort
! to retain the feature of the bill so vitally
j Interesting to the Gate City , but he goes Into
the tight with odds greatly against him.
There Is an Impression prevalent tonight
that Speaker Heed will put the bill with
amendments on passage without the
, ' formality of going to thecom -
j mlttcc for conference , in which
cast- , tinder the party whip , the bill
will go to the president with the amendment
Intact. Should , however , the bill go to the
conference , Senator Allen feels that ho can
hold the amendment for a considerable
length of time through the senate
conferees. Teller , I'ettlgrcw and Coclirell.
The Iowa members of the house ,
taking their cue from Senator
Gear , commenced active hostilities against
the amendment today and proceeded to en
list the support of Sherman of New York ,
chairman of the committee on Indian af
fairs In the last congress. The Iowa members
did not hesitate to say that Sioux City was
just as much entitled to a depot as Omaha ,
and they arc going about to defeat Omaha If
they cannot secure a depot for themselves.
This depot plan has been a scheme el
Mercer's for a long time , only the well
known hostility of Commissioner Drowning
of the Indian office preventing its location
In Omaha long since. Secretary nilsn is
favorable to the Idea of making the Gate
City a bcsc of supplies for the Indians of the
west and northwest , but thought the mat
ter might he better brought about If noth
ing were done until after the new commis
sioner of Indian affairs had been appointed.
However , life fight Is on , and pressure must
bo dlrectcd..to members of the house to aid
Mercer In .bin efforts to retain the amend
ment on the appropriation bill.
Ex-Congressman 'Mondcll of Wyoming
leaves tomorrow for the west to return ,
however , It Is confidently believed , as suc
cessor to Judge Best , assistant commis
sioner of the general land office. Mr. Mon-
dell made a host of friends while In con
gress and will. It is believed , be most ac
ceptable In the new oince , which , knowing
ones are saying , has been definitely decidcil
upon.
Captain Phclps Palno of Lincoln has
"cauglit on" In. the folding room of the house
Qt.representatlves hero through Judge Strode ,
but hopes with proper help to got. back
Into his old place In the Agricultural depart
ment , which spoilsmen of the democratic
leaning deprived 'him ; or several - years ago.
Emma Rleghtmeycr was appointed post
mistress at Palmyra , Otoe county , today ,
and W. F. Huff , at Stclnauer , Pawnee county.

WASHINGTON. April 20. The presence
today on the Hour of the senate of the re
publican members c ? the subcommittee of
the senate financial committee , who arc en
gaged In preparing the tariff hill , was made
the basis of much speculation. The members
of the committee were closeted for a time
with Senator Vest , of the democratic side
of the finance committee , and afterward held
Individual conferences with other senators
on both Hideo of the chamber. It wan gen
erally supposed that the committee had
reached a point from which the end of Its
arduous work could bo discerned and that
preparation was being made for a full meet
ing of the committee. Thin did not prove to
bo exactly true , but the visit was made for
the purpose of smoothing the way for the
final work. The committee IB approaching
the end of Its labor , and various senator *
who are making persistent demands for
changes were called upon with a view to ar
riving at an understanding. Among the
problems which arc yet unsettled are those *
relating to sugar , lead ore and wool ,
One of the members of the committee said
today that the | M5WuM be a revenue bll

These are the men who will administer the
public affairs of Omaha during the next
three years. The election yesterday was a
triumph for good government and the re
publican ticket. In spite of the drenching
rain that reduced the vote to a minimum and
operated to materially lessen the republican
majority , and notwithstanding the treachery
of rjroateh and his allies , who liavo persist
ently knifed Frank 13. Moorcs during the
campaign , the entire republican ticket wan
elected with tho- possible exception of two
councllmcn. Colonel Moores boat Howcll by
over 200 votes , and the other candidates won
out over their fusion opponents by decisive
majorities. The only consolation left to the
fusion crowd was the election of Charles O.
Lobeck and Frank J. Uurldcy as couucilmcn
from the Fifth and Eighth wards , re
spectively.
SHOCK TO THE FUSIONISTS.
The result was a tremendous surprise to
Howcll and bis supporters. During the last
two weeks the fusion malingers had remorse
lessly sacrificed the Interests of the other
candidates In a desperate effort to elect a
mayor. When the day that was to decide
the battle dawned through a pouring rain
that continued until the middle of the after
noon they believed that the victory was al
ready won and openly bojsled of tliclr suc
cess. Hut in spite of the fact that thousands
of republicans would not come through the
lain to cast their ballots , the rank and fllo
of the party met the emergency and their
victory was most significant as indicating
what n landslide it would have been had the
sunshine been less tardy.
The light vote was the most remarkable
'eature of the contest. During the forenoon
scarcely one-fourth of the registered vote
was polled and the hope ; ; of tliu fualonlsts
ran high. Hut by the middle of the afternoon
the clouds dropped away and during tlie
remainder of the day there were general re
publican galna.
FAVORS MOOHKS FROM THE START.
When the polls closed there was nothing
o definitely Indicate tlio result. Doth sldcw
were confident , but admitted Hint the fight
was close. The returns favored Mixircs from
the first and before 10 o'clock his election
iccamit a certainty. Howcll conceded Moorcs *
election nt 10 o'clock and went home , but
ils lieutenants remained an hour later hnp-
ng that the few mloalng precincts would
show rehiiltR that would give them soma
ground for hope , They were disappointed
and by 11 o'clock the news of the republican
Ictoty was known all over the city. Tha
tows was received with general satisfaction
except by tlioto who had followed the for-
imu ! of the fusion combination , The re
publicans were especially ulatcd. They hud
von one of the moat bitter local fights of re
cent years against a powerful combination
of thu democrats , populists and silver rc-
mbllcans , and this tinder the most advcrao
circumstances , Their cheers could bo heard
on every htrcet coiner and here and there
groups of cnthuelaatlc men shook each oth-
r'u Imndu and went homo happy ,
The paving Intersection bonds were not
overlooked by the voters and they carried by
n overwhelming majority.
