London, Sept. 20.?The Albanian in? fantry, said to be under command of Bssad Pasha, continues its victorious march.

The Greek authorities are exm-^Hlng the movement of Serbs ov r the Greek railways and anticipate ?, request for the passage of an entire Servian di? vision through Saloniki. Severe lighting near Oehrida, in Albania, 100 miles north of Janina, is said to have resulted in the com? plete success of the Albanians, who captured several guns. In spite of the confidence expressed at Belgrade the Servians probably J have a long and arduous campaign before them. The Belgrade newspapers urge the complete extermination of the Alba? nians.

Formalities Will Take Little Time. .May Re Anotlier Fight in Low? er Bra-ncb?Dates Fixed for En? forcement of Wool Items. Washington, Sept 2?;.?The tariff bill tonight is a completed document, except for the provision taxing trades In cotton futures. After more than tWo weeks of constant work behind closed doors the eight Democrats rep? resenting senate and house as mem? bers of the conference committee late today settled the last of their other differences and reached the final de? Oiaion that they could not agree on the cotton future tax. Early tomorrow a completed proof Of the conference report will be taken up for revision by the Democrats. The ' six Republican members of the con? ference committee were summoned to ? day to meet at a full committee meet ng at 10 o'clock Monday. The formal? ity of submitting the conference re? port to the Republicans is not ex? pected to take much time, and it is ? believed the report will be presented I to the bouse Monday afternoon by Representative Underwood. In the final session today a further futile attempt was made to settle the light over the cotton futures tax. The senate conferees changed front and agreed to give up the Clarke amend? ment altogether, but the house mem? bers refused to permit this. The sen? ate, in turn, refused to accent the pro? posed Smith-Lever compromise, and in the end it was determined to re? port a disagreement to both branches of congress, and let the senate r.nd house determine what should be done toward regulating or taxing the trad i ing in cotton for future delivery. The final differences In the bill w'ere so adjusted that the house re? ceded from its rate of 1-2 cent per i pound on lead ore, and accepted the J senate rate of 3-4 cent per pound. The house gave e.p its demand that the woolen tariff rates go into effect at once, and agreed to the dates fixed by the senate, namely: Woolen goods, January 1, 1914; raw wool, tops and waste, December 1, 1913. The house receded from its provi? sions as to cotton threaus, yarns and clothe, accepting the senate amend? ments, which revised the scheduler upon a new basis of thread count. The final agreements were reached late in the afternoon, after a day in which President Wilson had again been consulted by the leaders of both houses, and an effort by each side to secure further concessions. It is expected that objection will be made to the conference report when it reaches the house Monday, forcing it over to Tuesday's session Advocates Of the cotton futures com? promise known as the Smith-Lever plan will .endeavor to round up sup j port In il house for a motion to send i the bill back to conference again, ' with instructions to the conferees to I adopt the compromise plan. A slm ilar motion probably will be made in j the senate. It la believed the bill can not be completed by the two houses and I sent to the president before the latter J part of next week.

PEAL BY RAILROAD. History of Case Which Has Attracted General Attention Throughout state?Might Have Been Calico wAfter Thought" Evldeaoi sa>> Decision Rendered hy Justice lly drlck. Columbia, Sept. 29.?J. A. Miller won his case lor $35,000 against the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad. Com? pany today, the Supreme Court dis? missing the appeal from the order re? fusing a new trial. Miller is the Coast Line engineer who was injured Oc? tober 18, 1910 and whose case has j been appealed three times. The opin 1 ion today is by Justice Hydrick, con? curred in by th^ three other asso i ciate justices. The lirst trial of the caaa was November 19, 1910, when Miller lost in the circuit court. The Supreme Court reversed the decision September 21, 1911. The second trial was March, 1912, when Miller got a verdict for $35,000. This was affirm? ed by the Supreme Court, April 30, 1913. The defendant company moved for a new trial while the appeal was pending. The ground of after discov? ered evidence was used. The court tefused to order a new trial, and the appeal dismissed today was from that order. No reasons were assigned by the circuit judge in refusing the order, .ays the Supreme Court. The plaintiff claimed the order was not appealable and that appeal was for delay. The Supreme Court holds, after giving history of decisions as to appeals from orders refusing new trials, that no reason being assigned in the Miller order the court does not know if same was based on find? ings of fact, or law, but the ruling Is presumed to be correct and unless there was abuse of discretion the Su? preme Court will not review the order. On the question of after discovered evidence, with reference to the phy? sical condition of the plaintiff, the court suggest that this might more properly have been named "after thought" evidence.
