Whereat Governor Lowry Becomes Angry, and
Orders Him Locked Up.

JACKSON, Miss. Aug 4.-Of the trip with

redoubtable John. Ladies sent bouquets

everywhere as cOnquering hero instead
of the prisoner he was" South of the Ohio
the demonstrations were similar to those
mentioned above. AT Durant, Miss,
Sullivan received an ovation. and
hundreds crowded around the train
and begged to shake hands with HIM.
Several ladies entered the cars and were in
trcduced to the hero of the hour. When

bled at the depot Sullivan was met by
Bud Remand, John Duffy. G. w. Rich, Col.
John ). Hamilton and several local sports
and admirers. They all marched to the

INTRIGUEs OF THE Willy GREEK.

Object Of Stirring Up the Cretan Revolt
Franco Not Pleased with the Status.
LONDON, Aug. 4.-The instigators of the
Cretan troubles have partially succeeded
in their object, which was undoubtedly to
irritate the Ottoman COVER nment and, by
provoking hostilities, still further to in
tensify the prejudices of western Europe
against Turkish rule over q people nomi-
nally Christian. The prompt attitude of
the. English and Italian fleets saved the
Cretans from extreme measures and pre-
vented the outcry against Turkish perse-
cution, which would have followed expen-
sive retribution upon the revolving island
ers. The wiley Greek Premier. Trikoupis,
is given the credit of provoking this latest
outbreak. The little Hellenic kingdom
does not present field largo enough to dis
of them, and his exasperating intrigues to
set the larger powers by the cars in hopes
that something will accrue to Greece as the
result of the struggle, and his own abilities
be recognized at their true value, have rem
dered him the dread of nearly every Cabi-
net of Europe. 1t is doubtful even If he is
SO highly estimated in st. Petersburg as is
English to act with the Italian feet is
viewed with great alarm in France. which
is more than ever made aware of her de-
clining influence in the Mediterranean,
and is furthermore indignant at the in
creased aggressiveness of England in Egypt.

pasha, the new Governor of the island, has
ordered the withdrawal of the troops into
the forts, with the view of preventing col
lsions with tn. insurgents.
