The Cretan difficulty is slowly looming up again.
There four parties in the island; 1 the Turk
ish party mainly composed Of Moslems and Greeks
in government Offices 2 the Grecian party, which
is working for annexation to Greece but at present
limits its demands to a modest autonomy with no
obligation to send representatives. TO the assembly :;

patton and protec iorate the island and az the
Russian party camoring for a foreign prince 10
be placed the island after the Roumanian prece-
dent. OF these parties the Greek party has ma
joritv, the Turkish party is next in size. and the
Russian party is youngest and feeblest in numbers,
but commands a gOody supply of money, and will
undoubtedly have opportunity to make itself
heard before the present closes The position of
the Turkish Governor of Crete is evidently not
a bed of roses The Turks Rave only one measure to
propose whenever the Cretans become restless
After long and'tresome negotiation by the Gov
ernoT, when the people about losing patience,
and public meetings begin to be held. the Governor
blandly suggests his new idea which is that an
equal number of Christians and Mosems be selected
to bear the complaints to Canstantinope. This
always results in nothing but it is always proposed
as an entirely new measure by each succeeding
Governor. The farce is now about to be enacted
again. owing to the fact that the Governor has been
changed since the last deputation was sent here
from Crete.
