| HG | The Situation Growing More Critical Every Hour-GIadstone Looked Upon | As The one Man Able To Prevent a l Condtct-Ehe Silver Men At Work In | England.
 1 LONDON, Jan. 26.-The Boston Globes representative has cabled tonight as follows The latest news from Athens indicates that l the situation is growing more serious. 1t
 now looks if Greece might take some step that will precipitate a conflict even before l the short lived British Conservative govern | ment Is overthrown, though the latter event | is near at hand. If hostilities by Greece can | be Averted until Gladstone takes England's | foreign policy into his hand, it is conceded | that some settlement satisfactory to Greece can be arranged by him. The l instinctive confidence of the Greek people in him is shown by the telegram sent on behalf of the citizens of Athens to-day virtually call | ing on him to decide whether the Greek cause is not just one. MT. Gladstone's ad- mirable reply urging peaceful and deliberate action only is much praised. Private advices from Athens this evening indicate that the correspondence referred to has already had a salutary effect in strengthening the hands of the moderate party. There are renewed reports of risings in Crete and in Macedonia, but no news actually confirmatory of these rumors has been received through any of the accred- ited agencies. Greece has not yet formally replied to the Porte's ultimatum requiring the withdrawal of the Greek fleet from Turk ish waters and the demobilization of the forces. The British fleet has been ordered to cooperate in an international naval demon stration if such a course should become nec- essary to convince Greece of the futility of Europes demands for the maintenance of peace pending the settlement of the Balkan question by the ambassadors of the province. In spite of the extent to which public at tention is absorbed by political questions the
 silver people are managing to create quite a
 comnotion. It looks very much as if there
 was Q movement by which bi-metallism is to
 be "boomed' here a method of aiding the
 Washington silver men by the appearance of
 a silver sentiment in England. As a good
 deal of capital is being made out of the in
 ternational monetary association last
 week, it is perhaps only fair for me
 to remind you that this is
 an opposition of silver men, pure
 and simple It is no indication that England
 has been converted from gold standard to silver standard ideas. At the same time
 there is no concealing the fact that there is a stronger sentiment to-day than ever before in favor of trial of bi-metallism if it can be done on grand international scale, practi- caly universal. But the most unprejudiced monetary authorities who have granted me interviews have agreed in holding that except on this universal scale bi-metallism is doomed to failure, as has been shown by previous ex- perience.
 The Varlfke Feeling In Athens.
 ATHENS. Jan. 26.-In abetting the recent frequent demonstrations to .inc1te warlike en- thusiasm the Greek authorities have over stepped the mark. The people, deluded by the bombastic speeches of zealots and de- eeived by the egregious misrepresentations of Turkeys attitude and intentions, have become so eager to engage in actual war that neither the king the premier is able to control them. It is expected that it will become necessary to suppress further meet ings or demonstrations calculated to excite the populace.
 The New York & New England.
 BOSTON, Jan. 26.-At meeting of the directors of the New York 6 New England railroad to-day the matter of lease of the road to the New York & New Haven re- ceived the principal attention. The meeting continued for three hours, but no conclusion was reached. The meeting adjourned sub ject to the call of President Clarke. It was voted that an assistant to the president should be appointed and Mir. James W.
 Perkins was chosen to the nOSi1ion
