Base.\\ THE EVENT OF DEFEAT Tre Force Will Retire to Thermopylae and Make a Final Stand.THE EPIRUS CAMPAIGN, pemier Delyannis in an Interview Speaks Hopefully, The Fleet in Search of the Turkish Navy to Try Conclusions at Sea, London, April 26.\u2014The Greek Government bas decided, according to a special despatch from Athens, where iney are now concentrated, the army is to retire to Ther- popylae and there make a final stand.The Times, today, publishes a des: patch from Athens, giving an account of an interview between the Times\u2019 correspondent there and the Greek Premier, M.Delyannis.The latter is quoted as say- wg thet neither the King nor the Government has received any information from the Greek army in Thessaly beyond the announcement that the Greek forces had been successfully concentrated at Pharsa- los, to which place they had retreated in good order, saving all their artillery except the siege guns, which they had been forced to abandon.General Smolenski\u2019s column, concerning which the greatest anxiety was felt, has reached Pharsalos safely ,and the Premier added, 40,000 Greek troops are now concentrated at Pharsalos, which is a place of considerable strength, the adsi- ~biliiy of occupying it in cuse of rolreat having long been under consideration by the Government.M.Delyannis said there was much needles alarm regarding the safety of Volo, adding there was no reason to fear the Turks would attempt to oceupy it.The successes of the Greek troops in Epirus, M.Delyannis pointed out, were a counterpoise to the reverses in Thessaly, and, according to unofficial information, the Greeks expected to arrive at Janina on Saturday aight.The Premier swas convinced Athens would remain quiet, asserted that the people had complete confidence wu the King and the Government, and assured the Times correspondent there was no reason to fear any disturbance.M.Delvannis, the Times correspondent adds, in spite of his age and severe anxiety, appeared to be in the best of health and norte.Interviews with the Ministers of Marine und War were also obtained by the Times correspondent.\"The former stated he had bad not received confirmation of the rumor that Dodoagatch had been bombarded ov the Greek fleet.After the destruction of Platamona and Katerina, the Minister oi Marine added, the eastern squadron had «en expected to find and engage the Turkish fieet and the present location of the squadron was not known.The Minister of Marine did not think À necessary fur the Greek warships to pro- tet Volo, The Minister of War, the T:mes correspondent reports, said on Saturday there are 20.000 Greek troops concentrated at Pharsalos, and that every tfort was being made to reinforce them.Two thousand five hundred gendarmes and \u201c'aneers were then leaving Athens for o'o.Athens, April 28.\u2014A detachment of 250 Garibaldians bas left this city for Epirus, but Riccotti Garibaldi remains here to Ormanize the Italian volunteers who are Constantly

degrees conferred in encampments which lodge mem- Les may apply for ani receive if elected to receive that honor.Two encampment degrees were acquired from floating material during the period of 1821-6, but were then conferred In lodges.The Rebekah degree, originally conferred only on women relatives of Odd Yellows, 18 now open to all women.\u20ac ctyo lhhojt The first lodge to be instituted in the Province of Quebec (then Canada East) was Prince of Wales Lodge No.1.This was in Montreal on the 10th August, 1843, but it died out as did all the other lodges planted in that early period.Efforts to revive the order were occasionally made but without success until 1870, when through the strenuous efforts of Bro.George Varey, P.G.of Gore Lodge, Brant.ford, Mount Royal Lodge No.1 was instituted in this city.Gradual, if not rapid, progress was made from this time on until we find in December, 1877, there were eight lodges having 505 members, with receipts amounting to $4,886, and paying out relief 81,544, Early in 1878 it was decided to establish & grand lodge, and a charter having been duly issued the Grand Lodge of the Province of Quebec was instituted at a special meeting held in Montreal on the 30th of October, 1878, A T.Campbell, P.GS.M.of Ontario, being the instituting officer.The first officers were Wales L.Lee, Grand Master; W.Boutelle, Deputy Grand Master; Lyon Silverman, Grand Warden; A.A.Murphy, Grand Secretary; J.H.Field, Grand Treasurer.The_growth of the order since has been of the most gratifying character.At the last session of the Grand Lodge, held in this city in August, 1896, there were re: ported 29 lodges with a membership of 2,501.In addition there were six encampments, ten lodges of the Rebekah degree, and one canton.The total receipts for the year were $19,116.91, and the disburse ments for relief purposes $7,918.61.There are five grand lodges in Canada, having under their charge some 453 subordinate lodges, with a total membership of about 40,000, and paying out yearly $112, 000 for relief.In addition to this is the amount paid out by the Oddfellows\u2019 Relief Association of Canada, an auxiliary insurance association connected with the order, having 10,000 members in the various Provinces, and dispensing $65,000 yearly to its beneficiaries.In the early days of the order in Canada many men connected themselves with its workings whose names have become indissolubly connected with the history of the Dominion.Amongst these may be mentioned Sir John À.Macdonald, Sir Alexander Campbell, Hon.Christopher Dun- kin, Hon.L.H.Holton and many others.The order, as was natural, in the course of its history experienced periods of adversity as well as of prosperity, bat to-day jit would appear to be firmly fixed at the apex of the societies of this continent with its million of members and its immense I resources of over seventy-five millions of dollars.Its hold may be judged from the fact that over twenty millions of this is invested in real estate.The members of the order in this city will celebrate its 78th anniversary by a concert in the Windsor Hall on Monday evening next.Every preparation has been made to give the guests of the occasion an erjoyable evenings entertainment, the best talent procurable having been engaged.A short adress on the aims and principles of Oddfellowship will be given by Bro.W.H.Hoyle, of Cannington, Ont., Past Grand Master, and Grand Representative, and one of the most pleasing speakers of the Grand Lodge of Ontario.A large attendance is expected, 2,500 tickets having been issued.DOCTOR CAUSED DEATH, À Serious Charge Against a Strat- ford Physician, Supplied Mrs.Roland Buchanan With Instruments and Drugs to Perform an Operation.Stratford, Ont, April 24 \u2014(Special.)\u2014 On Saturday morning last Mrs.Roland Buchanan died suddenly, after only a few hours illness, and the circumstances surrounding the case were such as to lead Crown Attorney Idington to hold an inquest.The evidence offered showed that Mrs.Buchanan had come to her death through an alleged operation, and that for the purpose she had obtained from Dr.J.G.Yemen, a dentist, a bottle of medicine, and instruments, which latter she used with the knowledge of her husband.The evidence was all in at 10.50 last evening, and after four and a half hours deliberation, the jury returned a verdict to the effect: \u201cThat the said Isabella Buchanan, came to her death by reason of the employment of druzs und instruments, supplied to her for that purpose, by John G.Yemen, of Stratford, who also gave her instructions how to use the same, and that thereby the said John G.Yemen did kill and murder the said Isabella Buchanan.\u201d Yemen was immediately arrested, and brought before the police magistrate, and he was committed to jail, on remand.BURNS OUT ON BAIL.The Sherbrookite Charged With an Attempt to Poison His Wife Now at Liberty.Sherbrooke, April 24.\u2014(Special.)\u2014Henry Burns, who was on April 13, committed to the fall term of the Court of Queen's Bench, for attempting to poison his wife, was, after three days\u2019 deliberation, releas ed on two recognizances of $1,000 each, by Judge White.Alr.Broderick based his application for bail mainly on the grounds that the cvi- dence did not support the charge of at tempted murder, that on the contrary the conduct of the prisoner, his admission, even of the letter to Miss Sunbury, end the quantity and quality of the drug administered, and all the circumstances surrounding the case, showed that Burns never contemplated murdering his wife.Mr.Brow, Q.C., on behalf of the Crown stated that Burns was a citizen of the United States.where his parents resided, and dwelt upon the improbability of his appearing to take his trial in October next, if released on bail : Mason & Risch Pianos Are the Instruments of the Cultured née 20a For Particulars and

three o'clock yesterday afternoon the official in charge of the telegraph office at Larissa, observing a cloud of dust 1a:sed by the advancing cavalry of the Turks, asked leave to dynamite the office.He was directed to leave it.Since 3.30 i .m.(Saturday) the Larissa office has made uo response to calls from Athens.A dispatch from Reveni says that kd- hem Pasha, on learning that the Greeks had been ordered to fall back, attempted to deliver a crushing blow with a consider- ale force, which had been resting thirty- ex hours, and succeeded in breaking tarough the Greek lines in several

25.\u2014What seems likely to be the last week of the war is entered upon to-day.It is difficult from the tan gle of conilicting telegrams to understand the exact position of affairs.Following the Greek defeat at Larissa, London opinion to-day is almost unanimous that the end is in sight; and this view is probably shared by the Powers, as they are already moving to intervene.lt is believed that intervention will first take the form of a sugggestion of armistice, to which the combatants would no doubt agree.Since yesterday afternoon the British Foreign Office has been in close communication with the other members of the European concert, Great Britain suggesting that the time has now arrived for them to act.The French, the German and the Italian Governments have alrcady responded, offering to agree, though the German Government adds as a condition that it will be neces: sary first to exact a pledge from Greece to obev the mandate of Europe when this mandate is again given.\u2018The British Foreign Office believes that Greece will give up this undertaking, as the disasters which have overtaken her have demonstrated that Turkey still possesses a formidable fighting machine, a fact which must have a sobering effect upon the popular demand for war at Athens, and which will permit the Greek nation to climb down without disgrace, after a superb vindication of the personal courage of the Greek troops and a gratifring demonstration of the Tellenie patrintiem.If the Greeks listen to reason and the ar guments which will be presssed bv Fng- land at Aliens, and by Russia at Constantinople, it is not improbable that a decision will be reached bv Tuesday, before which it is not supposed bere that Edhem Pasha or Osman Pasha will have time to do more than to appear at Pharsala.THE GREEK IRREGULARS.They Are Mountaineers and Resembl Scotch Highlanders.The sounds of battle that re-echo among the despatches from Greece and the Levant have started a hive of bees.The critters have swarmed under the headgear of some good citizens, and they want to fight the Turk.Dr.Con- stantinides has been taken into the confidence of several of these would-be By- rons, and they have nat found him very sympathetic.One of them was even anxious to proceed with the mobilization of a force of 500 men, but most of them the doctor told The Mail and Empire representative last nicht, were oid soldiers or chaps out of work.The doctor said the Greeks do not need men, but money.Of men they have plenty, but of money they are shy.And yet the money necessary to the carrying on of the campaign, was not so great :n amount as might appear.The pay of the Greek soldier wis only a penny a day, and many of them didn't lock\u2019 for pay at all; tney tought because «hey en- Joyed it.And for rations, too, they didn't stick tor be.fsteaks and coffees every day; they could be content with a dry loaf and a drink from th: nearest stream.It possible they mizht shoot & goat, but they were nut accustomed tw and didn't look for, the luxuries or the season.Morcover.the Greeks who owned horses had tree'y given them to the Government for the army; and the Greeks.the doctor says, are too patriotic and not yet highly civilized enough to make money out ot Go:crnment contracts \u2014the maiter did not yet occur to them in that light, Speaking of thei rregulars, the doctor said they were all mountaineers.and very much resembled the Scotch Highlanders, Like the Highlanders, the wore kilts, white instead of plaid; their music was the bagpipes, and they would fight to the last man.Their favorite weapon was the gun, and they were all sharpshooters.At close quarters they had long daggers, but preferred to use their guns as clubs.The purpose of the raid was to incite the natives of Macedonia\u2014 Greeks and Albians\u2014to rebel, and so cut off and shrround the Turkish forces.The doctor holds the opinion that this having been done, and war declared, about two days would suffice for the Greeks fo demolish the Turkish forces now in the field.The doctor narrated a funny exper- ence of his own to illustrate the op'n inns entertained hy the mass of The Turkish population.Just

stereop- ticon views, showing the Himalayas, the Vale of Kushmir and other places and objects of interest.\u201cKashmir,\u201d said Mrs.Carus-Wilson, \u201cresembles Canada in several respects, In its extremes of climate; in its sparsely populated districts and nced of mew sct- tlers, and also in its oppressive taxation.\u201d The journey from T.ondon to Kashmir occupies about a month, and the mode of travelling in India was graphically descirb- ed and illustrated.Mrs.Carug-Wilson is indebted for much information on the subject to her sister, who is working as a Zenana missionary out there.The Vale of Kashmir has been called the Paradise of India and in some ways may be compared to the famous Plain of Bannockburn, Scotland.The Vale is noted for its groves and gardens and variety of exquisite flowers.: Kashmir is a country with a long history, dating back as far as 5,000 years.Its romantic and legendary history was briefly sketched by the lecturer, and was of unusual interest.The great artistic skill of the natives is evidenced by their fine embroidering, silver work, ete.Then Kashmir is the only spot in British India, where Furopeans can live and bring up their children.The number of British residents and consequent reforms and improvements is steadily increasing.Besides material benefits, spiritual matters are also being attended to.Our beloved Queen herself, inaugi®ated the introdue- tion of Christianity into India by her own written declaration.There is a great mixture of races in Kashmir and such a number of .anguages, that the missionaryv\u2019s task is a difficult one.The Kashmiris are a handsome and dignified race, and their women often kidnapped on acconnt of their beauty.But they are also an oppressed people which has developed many servile characteristics.The population is 500,000.Mission work was started in Kashmir 50 vears azo and there are at preseint eight CMS.missionaries laboring there.Besides these there are the Roman Catholics and Zenana workers.On September 12 last.the first Christian Church was built in Kashmir, and Montreal contributed towards the organ that is in use there.Then the hospital and school are practical proofs of the teachings of Christianity and appeal to the natives as nothing else can.The lecture was listened to with the deepest attenion and received frequent hnrsts of applause and an unanimous vote of thanks passed at the close.A COMIC OPERA.Residents of Prescott Entertained by Amateur Thespians From Across the River.Prescott, Ont., April 2+.\u2014(Specmal.)\u2014The Amphion Club of Ogdensburg gave a production of the great comic opera, The Mascot, before a crowded house here.On all sides it is acknowledged that this opera ras as good if not better than any other entertainment which the people have ever been given an opportunity of attending.The cast was as follows :\u2014Bettina, the Mascot, Mme.Arcand; Pippo, a shepherd, Mr.Herman Donavin; l'iametta, daughter of Lorenzo XVII., Miss Jennie Woods; Lorenzo XV1I., Prince of Piowbina, Dr.J.Musgrove ; Frederick, Prince of Pisa, Mr.W.V.H.Stanford; Rocco, a farmer, Mr.J.L.Houston: Parafanti, sergennt, Ar.\\V.Guthrie; Matheo, inukeeper, Mr.Heary Valley.Mme.Arcand, in the character of Bet- tina, the Mascot, was the star of the evening.She acted the part faultlessly, and was repeatedly encored.Mr.Donavin, as Pippo.a shephaid, did splendidly, considering him to be an amateur.As Fiametta, daughter of Lorenzo XVII.Miss Jennie | Woods was good.Her acting was in keeping with her appearance, which was pleas ing.Dr.Musgrove, as Lorenzo XVII, Prince of Piombino, was a success.No professional could have done more justice to this most difficult part.The part of Rocco, a farmer, was acted to life by Mr.J.L.Houston, who showed himself an adept in the art of mimicking.Mr.Stanford, as Frederick, Prince of Pisa, acquitted himself with credit.The same may be said of Mr.Guthrie in his representation of Parafanti, the sergeant, lr.Valley, as Matheo, inkeeper, was also above the average.The cast comprised some sixty people.The music and singing introduced throughout the evening was of the best.The costumes worn were handsome, winle the many bappy smiling faces of the young ladies added an additional attraction.A RELIEF STEAMER, Winnipeg, April 24.\u2014A steamer to relieve settlers in d'stress

year of the mutiny of the Mowbray, a large fullrigged ship, homeward bound, was to the north of the equator, stealing silently through the dusk.The hour was about 9.50.The moon rode high, and shone gloriously, and the cdge of the plain ocean came in two sweeps of ebony to the clasp of splendor under the satel lite.The ship lifted a cloud of sail to the stars.\u2018The night wind was lightly breathing and every cloth Was asleep, stirless as alabaster moldings, curving from each yardarm and climbing with the whiteness of the moon into three pires.This ship was the Alired, but not the famous Thames East Indiaman of that name.She was about 1,600 ions, with sn abundant crew, a captain, and four mates.She was carrying a valuable cargo and a number of passengers from India to London, and once only had she halted, at Simons Bay, where she put a lieutenant où mariues and fifteen men ashore, and then proceeded, after filling up with fresh water.She was a flush deck ship, and when you stood at the wheel your eye wn along a spacious length oï deck, ronnd- mg with the exquisite art of the shipwright into flaring bowe, which sank into the true clipper lines high above the keen and coppered forefoot.X number of ladies and gentlemen sat and moved about the decks.The awnings were furled, and the moonshine glistened upon these people, and sparkled in the jewelry of ladies and silvered the whiskers of gentlemen.On the weather side of the long quarterdeck walked the ccmmander of the ship, Capt.Barrisglon.A lady's hand was tucked under his arm, and he frequently looked to windward while he talked.To leeward paced the mate, and a little distance forward, in the deep shadows of the main rigging, stood a group of midshipmen.Richt aft upon the taffrail sat three gentlemen.One smoked a pipe, the others cheroots.Capt.Barrington permitted his guests, as he, with facstious politeness, called his passengers, to smoke upon the quarterdeck after five bells in the first watch.A considerable surface of grating stretched betwixt these three gentlemen and \u2018wheel.The wheel was something forward of the grating, end the helmsman, therefore, absorbed in the husiness of keeping the ship to her course, could hear little more than the rumble of the tones of the gentlemen who conversed on the taffrail.\u201c[ say, Parry,\u201d said one of the gentlemen, who was indeed no less a personage than the surgeon of the chip, casting his eves up at the moon, and tasting his to- baceo with slow enjoyment in the discharge of each little cloud of it, \u201cdid it ever occur to you to consider that all the great processes of this world-\u2014that all erea- tion, in short\u2014is based on circles ?A \u201cWhy do you address yourself to me?asked Capt.Parry.\u201cWhat do I know about circles ?\u201d \u2018\u201cBehold_yonder moon,\u201d continued the doctor, pointing with the stem of his pipe to the luminary, beautiful with her greenish tinge, =o sparklingly and bril- lantly edged, too, so marvellously clear cut that you might then realize if you never did before the miracle of her self- poised flight through the domain of violet ether.*\u2018Rhe\u2019s is a circle,\u201d said the doe- tor.\u201cSo is the sun.So are the stars.The flight of our system through space, if not a circle, is nearly so, enough to justify my theory that when the great hand launched creation, the design wus one of of circles.\u201d \u201cOh, blow that,\u201d said one of the gentlemen.\u201cParry, hand us a cheroot.\u201d \u201cThe breeze seems scanting,\u201d said Capt.Parry.\u2018If this voyage goes on lasting i shall be like the sailor who.when he was washed ashore on adesert island in his shirt complained that he certainly did feel the want of a few necessaries.\u201d \u201cA man going home to get married ought to be becalmed.\u201d said the doctor.\u201cHow do you like the idea of being married, Parry?\u201d said the third gentleman, who was one Lieut.Picrey.Capt.Parry viewed the beautiful moon in silence, \u201cUntil T got married myself,\u201d said the doctor, I used to expresse marriage by what I consider an excellent image.À man marrying is like unto a ship that grounds on a bar and beats over, where she lies, unable to get out; so other ships passing hehold her riding.royal yards across and the bar thick under the bows.\u201d (apt.Parry continued to view the moon.\u201cA man for comfort,\u201d said Piercy.should marry a roomy woman\u2014-you know what I mean, a woman who'll give him plenty of geographical and intellectual room to move in.1le\u2019s still contained in her d've see.still in sympathy, still sacra- mentally one, yet he\u2019s got plenty of room,\u201d he drawled.I remember some idiots who berthed a number nf Lorses on board ship and allowed no room for the toss of their heads.It's room that a chap wants in marriage.\u201d \u201cIsn't that something white ahead there?\u2019 said Parry.pointing into the starry visionarv distance right over the bow.The others seemed ta look.\u2018Something white should be a ghost.\u201d said Piercy.\u201cJ wonder if chosts walk the sea as thev do the churchvards?®\u201d \u201cThe most terrifving ghost that, to my mind.ever appeared.\u201d said the doctor.\u201cmust have been the spirit of the Princes of Saxony.Ife came

eve.\u201d \u201cRight.\u201d said the doctor.\u201cWhen T was ill seme vears azo.in India, I had been reading Boswell's \u2018Life of Johnson.\u201d and every night at a certain hour the figure of Dr.Johnson would git upon fhe mantelpiece and plav the spinet.I knew the old coc hadn't a note of music in his soul.His head wagged like a simmering cauliflower.T was in a mortal funk while he nlaved.but was too weak to throw anything at him.When the vision first appeared T thought it might have been a large bot: le.The mantelpicce was cleared.and still old Sam came and played upon the spinet for five nights running.\u201d \u201cThe most inconvenient of all ghosts is the livir~ stid Lientenant Piercy.\u201cAn Irish sergeant told me that before he left Treland he lent on une five

whaet, No.2 hard, nominal : peas per \u20ac0 Ibs.in store, 49}c to 50c; oats, No.2, white, in store, 494c to 50c; outs, No.2, white, in store, 25c to 25ic; oats, American, + bond, 00c to 00c; rye, No.2.40c to dlc;

super: fine, $0.00 to $0.07; extra bagw $0.00 to $0.00; strong bakers\u2019, Manitoba, 85.25 to $4.50; spring patents, Manitabe.$1.50 to $4.80; winter wheat patents, $4.30 to $1.50.MBAL.The market remains in just about the same position.The demand is slow and prices are about steady.Rolled per bag, $1,- 35 to £1.40: rolled, per harrel, £2.75 Lo 82,55, | granulated, $2.75 to $2.85;

but the main interest lies in New Zealand, which is now coming on the market in good condition from the Waimate and Ruapehu, and for upecuai brands, 56s to 57s is freely made, for ordinary factories, 54s to 55s.\u201d BUTTER.The tone of the market is just about steady, with new creamery now selling on the basis of about 17e to 17ie.Tue exports from New York for the week were 10 to Liverpool, 150 to Bremen, 1,200 to Copenhagen, and 54 to llamburg.A late report from London says :\u2014\u201cThe market for Australian and New Zealand butter continues firm at last week's prices.\u2018Lhe Queensland brands have brought from S8s to 92s.The only arrival of colonial butter this week is the Ruapehu, with 18.674 boxes and a small quantity of creamery fodder butter from Canada.Notwithstanding the large quantity of New Zealand butter brought by the Ruapehu, stocks are in very small compass, and if Easter were not here, prices would inevitably rise, notwithstanding the increasing supplies from the Continent.\u201d EGGS The market fails to show any important change.The demand this morning was only moderate, and business was done en the basis of about 9c to 9c.PROVISIONS.There was not much change in the provision market this morning, and prices keep on about the same level.Following is a fair range :\u2014Heavy Canada short cut, mess, per bbl., $13.50 ; heavy Canada, long cut, mess, $12.50; etxra plate bect, halt bbl, 100 Ibs., $4.25; extra plate beef, bbls., 200 lbs., $8; extra plate, tierces, 300 1bs., $12; hams, 9ic to 12c; bacon, 9e to llc; compound lard, Sc to 6c;
