The Greeks captured three quick-
firing cannon, a large quantity of
war material and many tents.
(ten. Kapountzakis, who was in
command of the Greek army, reports
from Pentepigedia that. Ii s troops
fought with vigor during the entire
day. With the view of drawing off

centrated in the fortress oi .lanina.
when the ..reeks were about to make
the'r frontal attack, two b.ittilions
of Greek infantry supported liy four
tieb* gups, were lauded to the west
of .lanina The movement was suc-
< sefully carried out. Thu Turks, as
soon as they learned of the landing

written in all languages. But Santa Glaus is an international character,
and whether the children who write to him express their wishes in Eng-
lish, in German, in French, in Scandinavian, or even in Chinese or any
of the other languages of the world, he can read and understand each

Waslilngton, Dec. 12. At a cau-
cus of democratic senators held yes-
terday a policy of very gensral oppo-
sition to the confirmation of Presi-
dent Taft's nominations lor federal
offices was agreed upon. it. is now
virtually certain all the nominations
for consular positions and for all of-

and diplomatic services, as to which
immediate action is not urgently
necessary, will be defeated. Til’s in-

democratic senators succeed, that all
these places will lie fillei by Presi-

Tlie caucus named a commute?,
consisting of Senators Slone of Atis-
fouri, Martin of Virginia, Clarke of
Arkansas, Smith of Georgia and
Owen of Oklahoma, to consult with
tlie republican senators as to an
agreement upon nominat ors. Sena-
tor Penrose and other republican
senators have intimated a willingness
to compromise by not pressing the
confirmation of appointees in st'atis
represented by democratic ss-natoiM
if tlie nominations for stales repre-
sented by republican senators are
allowed to go through. An a'rangc-
ment of the kind may ii: made.

British Antarctic (Expedition.
Christchurch, Xew Zealand, Dec.
13.—-The ship Terra Nova will sail
tomorrow for the Antarctic region
with the object, of bringing back
Captain Scott and his associates ol
j the British expedition to the South
Pole. Captain Scott was last hear t
from on January 4 last, at which
time the Polar party were only 14i>
miles from tho goal of their hoper.
nd were traveling at the rate of
1f> miles a day. All being well the
Pole should therefore have been
reached about January Hi last. The
party were expected back at Hut.
Point, where the Terra Nova was
waiting for them, about March 15.
But on March 5 the sea waj
freezing so rapidly that the ship’s
commander considered it unwise to
remain longer, owing to the hourly
increasing risk that tho ship would
’*e frozen in. It iB supposed that
Captain Scott and hie companions
returned to the winter quarters
about, the end of March. No further
news can bo received from him until
the Terra Nova again returns from
the l*ar South about the end of
next March.
